Walking the Labyrinth as Chakras

We walk
the seven circuits
of the Cretan labyrinth
as the seven Chakras.

Entering as the animal self.

The Third Chakra
the Solar Plexus
personal power, control, domination.

The Second Chakra
the Sacral
sensuality, sexuality, lust.

The First Chakra
the Root
sustenance, consumption, glutony.

Becoming the Spiritual self.

The Fourth Chakra
the Heart
opening, compassion, transformation.

The Sixth Chakra
the Brow
Divine vision, intuition, transcendence.

The Fifth Chakra
the Throat
Spiritual connection, expression, communication.

The Seventh Chakra
the Crown
Being in Source
Eternal communion, ecstasy.

At Center
the flow of
Knowing, Joy, Peace.

Returning as Illumined Spiritual Self.

The Throat Chakra propagates
loving touch to
the Sacral Chakra.

The Brow Chakra
opens the well of Being
to the spiritual hungers of an
illumined Root Chakra.

The Heart
imparts Divine wisdom to
the subdued kinetic powers of
the Solar Plexus.

Leaving the labyrinth
we turn back
to Center
and bow in
Gratitude and Humility
for the fullness of a
Realized Self. (CCXVII)

Consciousness

Consciousness resides
in the
Silence of Being.

That which Is
before words.

Before the
hand clap of
Creation.

The mind entrained
to the
Sacred heart.

Itself the portal
into Soul.

In Presence
you will
know It
by its
Bounty and Abundance.

Abundance that flows
from the
Primal Energy
of Being.

Silence is
First.

Knowing
is Joy! (CCXVI)

Absolutes

The Absolute.

The ground of
all Being.

Absolute Potential.

The Infinite
grounds of
all becoming.

The Eternal
The Absolute.

The Infinite
Manifest becoming
from the
Eternal.

In my waking
I am.

In my
I am
I am
That.

This knowing
the siren song
of my becoming
my returning.

To Source.

The Eternal is.
The Infinite becomes.

You
and I
are That.

The nothing
that is
Everything.

From the
Equanimity.

Pax Vobiscum. (CCXV)

Humility

With the
deep knowing of
Divine Authority
comes a deep
humility.

Divine Authority
is not a
proud intellection
but a
deep knowing.

Humility resides
in this
deep Presence.

It is experienced
it is known
then it is
spoken of.

This is how
the Soul
explains it
to the mind.

From experience
to knowing
to sharing.

This profound
humility
known in
equanimity. (CCXIV)

Divine Feminine

In the rains
of spring
I am struck
by the
lush bounty
of the
Divine Feminine.

Life given
birth
from the
soils of
Mother Earth.

This Earth
given birth
from the
Grounds of Being.

With each step
we know
her caress
the very
kiss of life.

The Feminine Shakti
the enduring goddess
nurturing the seeds
of life.

From the dark nights
of winter
to the resurrection
of spring.

A profusion
of Life! (CCXIII)

How

It is not
where you are
but how
you are.

Whether
mean estate or
haughty estate.

Whether happy
or sad.

Whether blessed
or cursed.

Whether rich
or poor.

Does your
heart light
shine?

How are you?

Stop.
Ask. (CCXII)

Woodlands of Spirit

I have walked
deeply in
the woodlands
of Spirit.

I return
having seen
Wondrous things.

What
I Am.

What
We Are.

What we
Can Be.

A Communion
of Saints.

Present
with those
gone
before us.

Peace
Joy
Celebration.

Walk
Wander
Wonder!

Return.
Be. (CCXI)

Becoming

The waxing
Moon becoming
light from light.
Light of wisdom’s
slow reveal.
Becoming fullness
illuminating
our path.
Joy in light!
Yet
reflected light
from Source.
Ole Sol
source of light
source of sustenance.
Wisdom of Source
known in
energy of Life.
From Source.
We are
becoming wisdom
becoming fully human
becoming fully Divine
in Light
and Life
Yin
Yang.
Celebrate Becoming! (CCX)

Breadth of Breath

With every
step
a breath.
The breath
of life from
footless halls
of air.
It carries
the song
of birds
the scent of
flowers
the winds
of weather
the mists
of Spirit.
With each
in-breath
we join
the dance
of leaves
we inhale
the breadth
of breath
from the prism
on the sky
coursing the
seasons in
our blood.
We live
we breathe.
With each exhale
we mark
our place
on the winds
a journal
of our doing
of our being.
Breathe deeply
this Infinite Breath.  (CCIX)

Give Up the Mystery

Give up
the Mystery.

Live into
the fullness of
Divine Being.

Let the
fullness of
Being
Pour into
you.

Live in
full Presence.

Presence
touches you
as the Sun
touches the
tree.

Live.
From mystery
to Presence. (CCXIII)
