Into The Now

The poetic alchemy of one man’s journey into the mystic. Drawing on the perennial wisdom at the root of all world religions Into the Now seeks to deliver afresh the good news of Ontological Oneness through a raw and rambunctious poetic tapestry. The mystical core of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Sufism, diverse wisdom traditions, and indigenous thought all share a timely message of hope for a planet drowning in the illusion of ‘otherness’. In that spirit we journey. Into

13. We Got to Stay Four Days

13.We Got to Stay Four Days “We got to stay four days”, said a girl in braids and bathing suit to me. I looked back at her and smiled, we were both on vacation, and in that moment, we were free! We had our portion of the good life, the sun, the sand, the smell of the sea. Perfectly curated shops and markets, stretched as far as our eyes could see. She said - “We got to stay, for four days”. And with some sadness she smiled down at me, from perched atop her Momma’s back, like she was climbing on a

12. Fireworks Imagine with me for a minute if you will a ride you could describe as the epitome of a thrill. Let your memories return to a great fireworks show. Screaming out through open skies fireworks tend to go… just where they go. Red, white, green, and blue they stretch out into the night. their streaks and movements not criticized. Not described as wrong, or right. The Designer fills each shell with hopes for the show but the beauty is when they explode, they tend to go… just where they

11. Passing Days We have a cat named Marley. She’s made of stardust… just like me. When she talks to me in the morning I think she knows she’s truly seen. Sort of like my lime trees, they get stressed And they miss their sun. It all adds up to the same old line. It is all - truly One. If Creation could speak to us, I wonder what it all would say? The trees, the birds, the fish. I bet they’d ask us to change our ways. Because the future we are pursuing Will eventually silence the birds. And trees

10. Allison’s Tree I planted a little tree in the front yard for my wife. I won’t tell her what kind of tree, no matter what her offering price. Because this tree, was a gift, it was the gift of life. A cooperation with God, to do something sweet. I planted a thoughtful-tree you-see and the dance… is wait and see. Will it fruit? Will it flower? Or will it open up in shade? To know its fate she’ll have to wait, for that surprise I will not trade. She’ll ask from time to time “What kind of tree is

8. Buffalo Buffalo run headlong into storms. Fear is not conditioned, as a buffalo’s norm. And likewise, when learning to ride a bicycle, you can’t save your day by turning the wheel away, away from crashing into the painfully physical. But you must steer the front-wheel, toward impending falls. Sorta like Dante and Virgil’s epic crawl. Down through the belly of satan, was their way outta hell. Lao-Tzu spoke of water eternally seeking the quantum. Jesus Christ poured out moments as servant of

9. Oak Box Spirit shared with me a picture of an oak box. Not a box that closes, it had no hinges… had no locks. This box it sat wide open. A capacity to be filled. But all that fits within it, is what’s been given, not what’s been willed. This box once stood a tree. Living, breathing, into the sky. But whether axe, or saw, or age all that breathes will one day die. This box is me. I am this box, as far as purpose goes. In three dimensions I am alive. But this form will not survive, and I already

7. Worries of the World I yelled out “I love you!” to my wife while brushing my teeth the other day. She was headed out to pick up our son, down the steps she walked away. I hate that I do this, but I immediately fretted, “how did that land?” This compulsion, to think the worst to worry she’s mad – and to start to plan. Internally projecting potential failures has always been my instinct. Spin up a mental worst case then worry out ways to protect against it. Instead of picturing her

6. Blue Jays Bruce Springsteen once sang “if you’ve ever seen a one-legged man… you’ve seen me.”* Well, I once saw a family of blue jays, some bound to the ground. Some flew on the breeze through the trees. And I saw ants too. Ants always seem so destructive. But not nearly as destructive as man. Is earth now treating us humans? The same way I treat an invading ant-clan? To protect my home, I’ll get out the TERRO. Is Mother Earth… also getting out Her Raid? Because She’s tired of being exploited for

5. The Shape of Life

2022/07/24

5. The Shape of Life We all know a one-dimensional reality is a myth. And two dimensions..? That doesn’t make sense at all. Three dimensions are too often mankind’s top floor. But I’ve heard there’s something like 9 dimensions or more described by philosophers and psychedelic explorers. I have come to see that each moment is a point inside of a fractal. A meta-dimensional toroidal fractal. The cosmic umbilical cord to God. And this very moment. This one… is just an energetic node or a pod. You and

4. In You… I AM… As the word of God thunders forth, it creates a resounding chorus. God’s-breath rending life from the quantum’s potential obviously does not happen quietly. Matter Being birthed as darkened vacuum spins into bright consciousness! Our Creator has an echo, it’s God’s resonance in Us. But we then stumble out from birth as victims of misplaced worth. Awareness trampled by the ‘mind’, confused so fast by ‘space’ and ‘time’. We learn worldly games and some of us learn how to win. But the

3. Withins I heard a prophet’s song and it inspired me to sing. He sang to; “The one who holds the sun’s fire”. He asked “How am I to describe? the one who holds the sun’s fire?”* We describe God in our Being. As life stretches back into glory. We are described as God’s breath in our shared religious stories. Ontological Oneness though seems to solve all of the riddles, eases burden, changes yokes, inspires charity big and little. I sought out God’s face, and God showed me all my friends. God is not

2. Just What is Somewhere on the road to ‘What Must Be’ is this rocky shore we’re standing on; they call this place – ‘Just What Is’. But when folks swim out-into the ocean of pasts and futures, under waves of illusion, they often drown. Until the Cosmos calls them back, to wake up, ‘live up’, to turn around. They say right here’s the only spot where you can glimpse infinity. So, breathe it in, deep. Be here. Be now.* See the horizon of the cosmic-sea. If you look deep you can just make it out as

2022/07/20

1. Image and Likeness We are made in the “Image and Likeness”* of God. What are we supposed to do with that? To live into it, live underneath it, the pressures of it clinging to our back? Image is Life. And Life’s Spirit is eternal. As Christ self-empty’s the universal consciousness of each and every One The same life, the source, the essence that compels a flower to grow up stretching out in praise to the sun. Image is a product of our Mother’s very breath. Ever expanding, ever donating, presencing
