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

Why the hell are we now perfuming trash bags?

Why the hell are we now perfuming trash bags?Come on now. Are you telling me that on self-destruction we are just so hell bent. We compulsively multiply consumerism’s chemical footprint. By mindlessly destroying with all our toying Earth’s environment. We show no respect for our home. And we’re overdue with Earth’s rent. I wish I could end this one hopeful be more song less lament. But we are trading away the only habitable planet we even know exists. In exchange for trash-bags now featuring

52. Into the Now I for One… want to ‘Be’ present. To shake the dust off ‘Just What Is’. Because here and now God is calling for our presence. Like a smiling childhood Friend. And this Friend has all the good toys. New eyes, new ears, a burden light, and a big smile …just like a child! Eternity is made-up of Our moments so we’re growing ‘Heaven’ wild. And We human beings, We have the capacity to consciously create it. We know now thoughts create forms. We each manifest as lives march forward. Jesus

51. Home Grown There is no such thing as the future! …ok I came right out and said it. The future is a myth, so is the past. Present moments are all we’ve ever known. That means ‘Heaven’ is here and now. Not out there… somewhere-else, some-place, some-time unknown. I don’t think we are waiting on admittance beyond some clouded throne. It mustalreadybe taking shape as what it is destined to one day be. The inevitable singularity of Love… What Must Be will one day set us free. But if we stay caught up

50. Miracles Do you want to hear about a miracle? And I don’t mean a miracle that’s satirical but literal. Even though as typical it will come out a little lyrical. First of all, it’s a miracle if these words have reached… you. These words’ve had a bumpy ride on their way to meet you. If you have listened this far, that is miraculous! These words became vernaculous. Along the way, though these words will have transcended a legion of opposition. They came to me like a hurricane. A veritable

49. Consciousness and… Breath at last will one day cease. Consciousness and… pass on, into peace. When from there we look back on this life will we mourn lives, we traded for trife? Possessions, things, our treasured baggage, houses, cars, and clothes, remembered as garbage. Consciousness and… will ‘Be’ in ‘heaven above’ Consciousness and… present moments magnetic Love.

48. God Saves Through Self Emptying Sitting in my daily morning meditation I caught myself in a forced smiling frown. The kind I have to will up to resist tears that promise relief by escaping my eyes and falling onto the ground. I learned right before I sat down of the passing-away of a visionary. The last day. Of the great teacher Thay. Christ Consciousness just lost a giant. Thich Nhat Hanh, the friend of Thomas Merton and Martin Luther King Jr. Thay, last night passed away. But he’s now being

47. There is something made of Love up next. It has got to just feel mental to stare into your own impending death. Death’s goodbye, sure makes us fearful. The abyss opening up after breath. What is next? Will we float or will we stand? Is Someone waiting reaching out for our hand? Will we sink into fear? Will we breathe into faith? Or will we hide in depression’s dark lands? Because my time at the precipice will soon arrive. Human life is so cosmically brief. Or should I’ve said comically brief? So

46. The Physicist’s Key Physicists are presently seeking a fundamental pattern of division. They postulate if they can find the fractal pattern that grows division. Humanity could escape the earthbound three-dimensional prison in which we’re living. As a key to a lock, this understanding could birth creation. But with such power over things would we end power-systems? …Or just remake them? I for one, do not think we are ready, as in the sorta… “this is why we can’t have nice things” kinda way. Watch

45. ‘It’… Is Happening ‘Christ’, (the word for God’s self-emptying) is happening. Now. ‘It’ is – happening now. So, "what would Jesus do"??? About… ‘It’? That situation in your home. Or with your friends. Or another struggle against-the ‘others’ we separate from and then contend? Onlythe Christ, would not by now have comeunglued!

44. Divided Lines Religion… is how we live. Not the structured belief system with which we identify. So, it is past-time we all start asking why establishment faiths refuse to transcend the script. Of defended agreements and divided lines? Selling fears, followed closely, by systemic rules to then live by. Why is modern religion still focused on words? On what ‘they’ believe, and what ‘we’ believe? Not on creating a new Earth, but defending idolized-ideologies. Power systems of competing egos paying

43. The Universe is Breathing Me I am not so much breathing as the Universe seems to Be, breathing me. I don’t have to attempt to will it, the Cosmic Christ’s outpouring fills it. Thus, to be breathedis grace, it is a gift that’s given free. The universal offsetting balance is also grace always yin, always yang, humans breathing, breathing trees. Take a moment, watch yourself be breathed. In and out breath’s unrelenting tide. Makes you wonder what is the point of consciousness’ breath-less ride.? It

42. Humorous Diversity Have you ever contemplated Earth’s cosmic birth? I mean really, really think about it? Consider all the crazy things, on their own that just grow up and out of it. How in the Cosmos… in the mind melting immensity? Did We grow Earth filled with such a humorous diversity. Take an example like any old nature show on the tele. Or better yet take a field trip stroll through an Appalachian wooded valley. Or how about the example of tropical birds. With their crazy shapes, crazy

41. The Threshing Floor I just saw an image… somewhere inside my brain. It was a large stone inside a circle, a whipping post for the releasing of grain. A hulk of stone was positioned just at the center. Like a saddle horn for the threshing of wheat, purposed to test resolve, of grains that strong and grains that weak. I’m not exactly sure? Just why I saw it? What this image was intended to convey? All I can think is that it was an analogy. Like a parable… for the meaning of these days. Somewhere

40. The Sam’s Wholesale Church It seems like a lot of people have stopped going to church. Instead on Sunday’s they all go to Sam’s… Piling in there in all shapes, colors, and sizes, pouring out of trucks, classic-cars, and minivans. …If our ‘God’… isfrom whatwe derive our meaning. Then bulk consuming and material-goods competing is now what draws in the congregants streaming. As we crowd-fund plastic water bottle pollution. And keep the masses satiated and sleepily producing.

39. Transcending the Temporal Fill your lungs. Breathe indeep. To your belly, breath is a reminder you are still here. Still experiencing, this side of death’s sleep. Presence to this present moment always births understandings never fears. In actuality fear too often is imagined, the ego whispering otherness in our ears. Into black mirrors our culture casts spells weaving myths that our plans keep us well. Yet, each moment is a fractal of potential. When we join into the now’s dance. Let go of the

38. A Practice Join me in contemplating the mystical words “Let there Be”… they are heavy. God, pouring out of an infinite levee. Into a donut bubble of spinning energy – we call the Universe. But did ‘Cosmic-Karma’ or ‘Divine-Will’ pour in first? Which concept get the credit of first mover? Where did we come from? Form within the heart of life’s Ruler? Or does that not matter at all? In the midst of the Human-Being’s great fall. By the present moment we just refuse to be held. We’re too busy

37. Everything is True Everything… is true. Well, I guess I did it again. Start out with a statement shocking just to circle back to it at the end. Well, everything is true. Truth can’t be contained in just one view. And the way I learned to find it was to become willing to undo. If it is… its ultimate origin is God. That’s true of every-thing from joy to suffering, humans to sod. God is truth is not limited to either perspects pole. Our source cannot be contained, but contains all that is inside

Christ-consciousness will eventually beget a unification of our species. But the question of our time remains , how long will we wallow in the ego’s feces? To the point of Life! Existence! we act, as if we’re blind. We will be evolving toward a Divine destiny. When presence transcends unconsciousness and mankind is

34. This Game We Keep Playing The wages of ‘otherness’, we don’t yet know. But our shared future no longer comes slow. Collectively what we are Becoming, is how God falls into form like the snow. God’s self-emptying love. Living-water. The Cosmic-sea. Evolving in and as, You and Me. And currently ego-consciousness is driving this planet to its knees. Multiplying suffering and injustice by the little threes. Trash… may end up the legacy left behind of Earth’s trees. We all know the adage -
