This Bread is Rising!
"In this New Beginning there is the Poem,
and the Poem is within the Heart of the
Holy One,
and the Poem is the very Mystery of the
Holy One.
The Poem is the New Beginning with the
Holy One!
All things are imagined, created, and re-created through the Poem, and without the Poem there is nothing.
What is, and that which may be, are sourced in the Poem:
as the Poem becomes, consciousness rises into Being,
and Being is the joy of infinite possibilities,
and infinite possibilities make Light and Dark into One..."
"The true Christian religion consists neither in rites or Bibles or sermons or Sundays -- but in noiseless secret ecstasy and unremitted aspiration... in the universal church, in the soul of man, invisibly rapt, ever-waiting, ever responding to universal truths." -- Walt Whitman
The Manifesto of Radiance
Every human being exists within the Radiance of One Love: and has a spiritual hunger that sparks every love, every quest, and every creative act. This hunger for a complete, conscious, identification with One Love is the evolved essence of the mark of our humanity. And our very nature has been created specifically to be transfigured into the limitlessness of One Love... "We have been created by Love, for Love, to become Love." (Simone Weil) We have each been created as "verses" of the Poem -- awakening to this essential reality is the beginning of the rEvolution...
The limitlessness of One Love is rooted within every conscious heart inviting each of us continually into deeper awareness and a steady awakening into our destiny. Contemplative prayer opens layers of consciousness into a communion of body, mind, and soul with the One Love "Over Soul": a relationship in which the parts become the Whole...
The Poem is the Christ-Tao -- or Quantum -- Consciousness "stitched" into the very fabric of creation: awareness of the essential sacredness of everything and all being is core to the mystic-activist awakening... the intensity of living one's daily awakening is the unique power of infinite possibility within each moment: for the Good, for Service, for Liberation, and for Love...
Is "God" a vivifying question and force in your heart? Only a radical acceptance of that One Reality and force can liberate the human consciousness into the Potential of the Christ Consciousness: for incarnation now, moment-by-moment, in your breath, in your heart, in your life, and in your every act of Love... For this you were born!
The vivification of the Poem in your life is the Way... forward and upward is the direction: if humanity is to survive upon this precious blue Planet, survival must not be our goal! Our goal must be our own transfiguration into Love-without-Limits, and at the same time, the transfiguration of our time and place into Paradise... The ripening fruit on the Tree of Life is conscious evolution...
Oneness
The sacred desire for unity, for Oneness, is always -- and only -- the fruit of that which has been interiorly achieved. Love does not originate or activate from anywhere outside of the human person: we have each, and all, been created by Love, for Love, to become Love. Love is both our essential nature and our core identity. Every step, every action, and every policy that moves us away from Unlimited Love is a movement into illusion and delusion. By the very same token, every thought, every act, and every policy that deepens or expands the horizons of Unlimited Love is a movement into conscious evolution and transfiguration. To Love means to both will and implement actions for the good of every "other". To Love means to interiorly identify every "other" as one's own sacred self: and then to serve, in every way, the others' liberation into the fullness of their possibilities. To Love means to eliminate every barrier to the other's full development. To Love means to transform every system into service and all power into compassion...
"Religion" must come to be understood as the manifestation of the "whole" into the life of the "one". The Divine Cosmic Consciousness, the Cosmos itself, and the interiorization of the Cosmic into the Christ-Tao- Mother within matter, all life, and supremely within every human, is never a private affair. To remember one's identity is to vitalize the rEvolution in a person responsible for and committed to Love-without-Limits: in this time and in this place: "I will engage in the crucial struggles of my people, and this precious blue Planet, for Equality, Justice, and Peace. I will engage my mind and my heart into a transformation for Service, Kindness, and Beauty. I will engage my every good possibility into a personal and global manifestation of Perfect Love."
The Manifesto of Liberation
"The gospel of Jesus is spoken in a world
intoxicated with death
mesmerized by death
convinced of the necessary rule of death
skillfully conniving with death
technologizing death
acceding to the omnipresence of death."
-- Daniel Berrigan
