In morning’s soft light, the garden hushed, freshly dewed, my caretaking starts. Came the inner Voice. “This is My Eden Garden. With your heart love it. Here, you work for Me. Your service is holy watch. This is sacred ground. Each bee, leaf, rose, task your mission creates beauty. The small becomes great.”       Except the Beloved build the garden, they labor in vain that build it. They who labor as holy gardeners build it as instruments of love. Zane’s version of Psalm 127   One soul can help the whole world… The service is here beside you, and waiting in your own heart every day. The greatest service that anyone can give is continually to think aright—continually to send forth love, to forgive.

What is “the Father?” The Father is universal Consciousness; the Substance of all form; divine Mind acting as your mind and manifesting as limitless ideas; immortal Life appearing as the harmonious individual life. Seek everything in life from the kingdom within. Draw your good from the infinity of your own being. Touch that center, the kingdom within, and let the Father reveal your heritage. This is to live by Grace. Joel S.

Go down to Egypt. There you shed more to wait, wait. Alone in the dark. One plateau to next, the hard, hushed, hidden, holy un-selfed-ness time. Weightless, the light grows. Inner vision sees God’s form. Our eternal form.     The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation. When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed. Joseph Campbell God, who is everywhere, never leaves us. Yet He seems sometimes to be present, sometimes absent. If we do not know Him well, we do not realize that He may be more present to us when he is absent than when He is present. Thomas Merton The Abyss was the place of transformation for the mystics. In its depths shone the illumination of the ‘divine dark,’ where divinity revealed itself. …[One] of the great mystics, St. John of the Cross, speaks of the ‘secret stair’ by which one descends in the dark night to meet the Beloved—the way the soul journeys into union with God. But prior to that union of ecstatic rapture with the Beloved comes the Dark Night of the Soul, that painful period of privation when one feels imprisoned in The Abyss. Linda Schierse Leonard Only those willing to walk through the dark night will be able to see the beauty of the moon and the brilliance of the stars.

Misty mountain peaks. Rarified air, pristine view. Vast landscape stretches. What is there to judge of black, white, bad, good, wrong, right at high altitudes? Worldly life, status, awards, money, big car, house. What fleeting value… Judge not self, others. Let go remarks, reviews, blame. Silent mountains speak.       Drop the titles. You don’t need to call yourselves lamas or roshis. Drop the costumes. His Holiness the Dalai Lama Three things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, and the Truth.

NATURE designed a forest as an experiment in unpredictability. We are trying to design a regulated forest. Nature designed a forest of long-term trends. We are trying to design a forest with short-term absolutes. Nature designed a forest with diversity. We are designing a forest with simplistic uniformity. Nature designed a forest of interrelated processes. We are trying to design a forest based on isolated products. Nature designed a forest in which all elements are neutral. We are designing a forest in which we perceive some elements to be good, others bad. Nature designed a forest to be a flexible, timeless continuum of species. We are designing a forest to be a rigid, time- constrained monoculture. Nature designed a forest over a landscape. We are trying to design a forest on each acre. Nature designed a forest to be self-sustaining and self- repairing. We are designing a forest to require increasing external subsidies—fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Nature designed forests of the Pacific Northwest to live 500 to 1,200 years. We are designing a forest that may seldom live 100 years. Nature designed forests of the Pacific Northwest to be unique in the world, with twenty-five species of conifers, the longest lived and the largest of their genera anywhere. We are designing a forest based largely on a single-species, short rotation. Our dream—a sustainable forest—must be bold enough to allow change not only in the forest but also in our thinking because the land is not to be conquered but is to be nurtured. We must also understand, accept, and remember that the world is always in a state of becoming, in a state of change, so nothing is ever ‘finished.’ Thus, if we try to hold things constant, like yesterday’s timber values projected into tomorrow’s forests, then it is like driving through life looking in the rearview mirror. Today’s decisions will design and sustain or destroy the forests of tomorrow. Now, more than ever, we must recognize that we are part of the human family and trust and respect each other as if human dignity truly were the philosophical cornerstone of society. We must also recognize and accept that we have one ecosystem that simultaneously produces a multitude of products. And we, as individuals and generations, as societies and nations, are both inseparable products of and tenants of that system, custodians for those who follow.

It’s nothing contrived. It’s not an imitation to seek, race after. The entire Network is already functioning from the beginning. Our personal switch, accessed in meditation. Splendid Light that lights! Light in each atom. Light shining out in service. Radiant Spirit!     When you are in a spiritual place, you really feel you are in the light. You close your eyes and meditate on spiritual sun-light; you wander in your meditation in gardens of indescribable beauty; then you come back to what you call reality. But it is the vision you enjoyed when meditating that was real; for that is your true life, the life of spirit. What you come back to is illusion. Do you realize that your physical world is illusory? That in reality, it is built of light and that your physical body is composed of light?

Words on a book page. Words spoken express outward. Words in the mind cling.   These words are merely words.   Words taken within are seeds planted in dark soil. Consciousness sprouts Truths.   These words are Words of real substance.   Words grow in silence. Words from Spirit feed, nourish. Awareness deepens.   These Words are wisdom, the pearls unto our Heart.   Within your consciousness are the Words direct from Divine Source that reawaken and unite you to your true Self—the one who lives in this world but who is not of it. Only in the quiet and stillness of transparency do you receive the infinity of your OWN words. Herein is the mystical Union. A spiritual adventure to embrace!     We must let imagery and poetry have their way with us, and not try to confine ourselves to the literal meaning of words. Let us be free from the limitations of made-up words and made-up prayers and accept the poetry and the imagery of the Soul, accept our freedom in God—not lose it by trying to analyze and dissect every word.

There’s no cosmic pearls to quest for around the globe. They reside within.       This is the period in history when the Father’s grace is being revealed on earth as it is in heaven. This is the period which is the foundation for all spiritual ages to come. This is the period in which the nature of spiritual power is being revealed to the world. This is the most thrilling period of spiritual discovery ever recorded in history. Those who are part of this revelation of the spiritual age are blessed beyond measure and degree. Joel S.

Gusts are normal events. High-speed winds surprise at times. Where did that come from? Gusts come in money. They arrive as health issues. Gusts can tear apart. Sudden bursts bring joy, like the birth of a baby. Bright, fresh heights are reached. Resist not and bend. Swift winds blow out old for new. React with welcome.       For most people, their spiritual teacher is their suffering, because eventually the suffering brings about awakening. Whenever anything negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it, although you may not see it at the time. both quotes by Eckhart Tolle, author of “The New Earth”   Other Spiritual Offerings: • In Remembrance Of Our Beautiful Zoe Cat • Fallowness • Shrouded in “A Dark Night” • Ego Benders • Pain Body Attack! • Resilience • Trust and Step Up © Haiku poem © by Zane Maser, 2017, was inspired by my husband, Chris.
