A Perspective Of God

http://gailtaylor.gaia.com — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:08:19 GMT

A Perspective Of God

we're in a playground
the playground is for taking Thought beyond where It's been before
(Thought. Experience.)

and this playground is a smorgasbord of choices.
all of them.
all of the spiral, all quadrants, levels, lines, states, and types
all of the myriad choices of what it is to Be.

Self can be a dog rolling in the grass, and Experience That.
And That Is Good.
Self can be a wealthy old man coddling his granddaughter in love.
And That Is Good.
Self can be a 20-something, or a 30-something, or a 40-something, starting to Remember Self in the bodymind,
remembering that We Are That.

As Omniscience, as Omnipresence,
the one thing Self canNOT do -
is forget that It Is.
But in this playground, we can forget that We Are.

In this plaground, Self can be a dog rolling in the grass, utterly having forgotten that We Are. And enjoying being a dog in the grass.

In this playground, Self can be a grandfather coddling his granddaughter, utterly having forgotten that He Is. And enjoying the limited view.

In this playground, Self can be a someone something, remembering Self again, and enjoying the Experience of re-membering.
And That Is Good.

Self can be a child dying.
And That Is Good.
One thing Self canNOT do - is forget that It Is,
and Experience being a child dying.
But a dying child CAN experience being a child dying.
and in the eyes of Self -
That Is Good.
It is Experience.
It is what takes Experience beyond the Nondual, beyond Omniscience
It's Play in the Playground.

we're in a playground
the playground is for taking Thought beyond where It's been before
(Thought. Experience.)

and this playground is a smorgasbord of choices.
all of them.
all of the spiral, all quadrants, levels, lines, states, and types
all of the myriad choices of what it is to Be.

Including, being a perspective that doesn't believe this poem.

Come. Let's dance.

Hysterical, these are my fave lyrics of the day!
Gail

"Son look at all the people in this restaurant
What d'you think they weigh?
And out the window to the parking lot
At their SUVs taking all of the space

They give no fuck
They talk as loud as they want
They give no fuck
Just as long as there's enough for them

Gotta get on the microphone down at wallmart
Talk about some shit that's been on my mind
Talk about the state of this great of this nation of ours
Poeple look to your left, yeah look to your right

They give no fuck
They buy as much as they want
They give no fuck
Just as long as there's enough for them

[Piano Solo]
(oooaaahhhhhhhh)
(oooaaahhhhhhhh)

Son look at the people lining up for plastic
Wouldn't you like to see them in the national geographic?
Squatting bare-assed in the dirt eating rice from a bowl
With a towel on their head and maybe a bone in their nose
See that asshole with a peace-sign on his licence plate
Giving me the finger and running me out of his lane

God made us number one because he loves us the best
Well maybe He should go bless someone else for a while, give us a rest
[They give no...]
Yeah and everyone can see
[They give no...]
We've eaten all that we can eat"

Cultivating Joy - FREE GIFT

http://gailtaylor.gaia.com — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 18:36:00 GMT

Here's an exercise I offered in one of my teleclasses toward cultivating Gratitude and Celebration. In this case, the exercise is applied to self-acknowledgement. And how many of us couldn't use a bit more acknowledement from time to time?

For me, gratitude and celebration isn't just about feeding my high of joy - gratitude and celebration are subtle-body life blood. If our passions, our deepest purpose, and our desire to contribute are the soul that unconsciously keep us waking up in the morning, still we need to nourish our energy cup to have the strength to continue and to press on in the face of daily challenges. As I increase my frequency of letting my subtle-body fill with the impact of my gratitude and celebrations, so too do I have increased energy and capacity to move forward, to press on, to climb even to the top of the peaks of Mount Everest.

Click here to listen - it's about 20min long.

In hopes it serves you!
Warmly,
Gail

Do you know what happens to wildlife when left alone from intellectual minds? It thrives, because thriving is its default setting. Just look at a forest.

And do you know what happens to wildlife when given just a little direction by intellectual minds? It still thrives, because thriving is its default setting. Just look at a rose garden.

And do you know what happens to wildlife when there is too much thinking? Yeah, what wildlife?

Same for human beings.

Your Opinion Please - Survey, FREE GIFTS offer, and Invitation

http://gailtaylor.gaia.com — Fri, 25 May 2007 22:09:09 GMT

In our community we talk about conscious evolution, integral theory, cultivating our spirituality in practical ways, and also how to make the world a better place. However, I'm often curious what others in our community are doing about balancing opposite poles - supporting our pre-modern and modern American culture to evolve to post-modern and bringing culture-centric folks into a more global view....helping tree-huggers earn more lucrative incomes and take action....helping effective corporate folks integrate a more 'we-space' conscious paradigm....helping partisan politicians integrate a multi-perspective listening....helping cognitively masterful ascendant practitioners integrate mastery in shadow-work, relationship cultivation, working with the body....helping the spiritually "awake" among us who get that this is all an illusion to actually still integrate mastery within the bodymind and clean up their shadow and cultivate their self-line.....and so on.

This isn't the only subject I wonder how people are integrating; I wonder about many.

So to support Life Increase and work directly with embodiment and integration issues, I'm in the process of refining an initiative I've built called "The Integrated Approach" and I'd like your opinion about it.

I'd be honored if you'd consider completing my "5 Topic Short Survey" and telling me your perspective.

            I'll be sending out FREE MYSTERY GIFTS as a Thank You.
            A book related to Emotional Wellbeing will be SENT BY SNAIL MAIL
            to the first 25 people who email back the completed survey
            back to me at gail@integratedcoaches.com .

The survey should take 10 minutes or less. It's below.

I've also included, below the survey, an invitation to a teleclass called "The 10-Minute Manifestor" - a teleclass for generating desired outcomes, results, and movement in your life.

I'm especially interested in your thoughts on the first question re: how you think this might serve. If you don't like the rest of the questions and the invitation at the bottom, simply don't answer them.

Feel free to forward the survey (and free gift offer) and invitation to anyone you believe would enjoy it.

Have a wonderful, fulfilling day!
Warmly,
Gail

They Talk About "What's Wrong With The World..."

http://gailtaylor.gaia.com — Wed, 23 May 2007 02:21:55 GMT

....you hear it on the news, in the blog posts, each one pushing against another one... banishing and bashing and brow-beating

...you hear how 'bad' they find it all - the wars, the violence, the starvation, the sexing in ways they wouldn't dare, the money, the poverty, the consumption of our planet, the campaigns to hug trees to save our planet...

...you hear them all talk about what a virtuous mission it is to "change the world"

I think....

...that phase one is the good-bad right-wrong phase - the old-school learning to dichotomize and brow-beat what we don't like...the phase that hasn't figured it out yet that what we resist, persists.

...that phase two is the anti-brow-beating phase - the self-proclaimed evolution that makes the mistake of thinking that if we learn to embrace diversity, it will help us move toward what we want more of...and in the process is a brow-beating-of-brow-beating that homogenizes and washes out the beauty of uniqueness, difference, distinction.

...that phase three is the art of dancing in embrace while also holding discernment.

...that there's nothing wrong with the world, that Involution has chosen all of this, as an act of play, out of the joy of Experiencing, as the opportunity for the Eyeball of Infinite to see itself....

...that there's absolutely nothing that needs to be changed, fixed, altered, pushed against, lobbied for, or campaigned around, because it's all a step on some trajectory toward Life Increase, Experience, and Emergence...

...that nonetheless it's vital that each voice rise, that it's all fun - the pushing against, the pushing against the pushing-against...the embrace and the push against embrace...and around and around again....

...that all Voice at its root is a play, an opportunity, an eager awakening full of delight - and that voice that is sharp is infused with pain or fear....and voice isn't Voice, but Voice can be distilled from out of voice...

...while Voicing, i always have at my disposal "the law of two feet" - just because i think nothing needs to be pushed against, doesn't mean my meatsuit needs to choose into that-over-there....

....that the smorgasborg of Living Spirit in a Bodymind is an abundant, incredibly rich palette...

I'm concerned about the general "Change The World" trend here, among us Zaadz-sters. What phase are we dancing? Honey, is the vinegar really going to attract the flies?

And the seduction turns around and around and around again.

All The World's A Stage...

http://gailtaylor.gaia.com — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 03:28:40 GMT

alchemy   hermetics   theurgy    magic
order of golden dawn and magick
rosecrucians   freemasons   knights templar
pagan roots and wicca    ancient shamanism
the roots of buddhism    of zen    of hinduism
of gnosticism    roots of the kabbala / judism
vedanta    kashmir shavism
spoken literally in abraham-hicks - thoughts are things
law of deliberate creation - what we focus on we attract
napolean hill - think and grow rich
warner erhardt    est    landmark
discordianism and the writers' circle with wilson, watts, leary, etc.

All the ancient traditions knew It.
They were all trying to say It.
They all knew the Nature of Reality and Source.

And they knew about Us in Relation to Source.
    how, thru alignment of our inner energy:
    clear purpose, gratitude, and faith
    we can re-discover who we Are.
But faith is about merely "trusting" the Nature of Who We Are
    Power is revealed through Knowing it - Realizing It.
    Realizing the truth - there is no spoon.
Zero-point field theory and quantum mechanics are
    now empirically proving It, scientifically
But masters through the ages have always known It.

What is "It"?

It is this this coupling -- BOTH:
- We are One with Source, The Universe, GodForce, Creation.
   We have the power of creation at our fingertips.
    .... we may realize this power when we align our energies.
    AND
- We are un-One with Source, GodForce, Creation - for FUN.
    We CHOSE it that way. We chose duality / manifestation.
    As Source, as Universe, as GodForce and Creation -
    The eyeball cannot see itself. Therefore we created 2.
    An Other Eye (another I) with which to See OneSelf.
    Other. Outside. We relish the joy of re-discovering
    OneSelf. Variety in Our Creation.
    We relish forgetting, because we relish rediscovering.
    And we created this Manifest realm,
    because we relish the Opportunity to Experience.
    We relish the Delight of Creating.
    We relish the Delight of Increasing Life.
    And just as a purifying forest fire cleanses the landscape,
    making new room for new growth, and creating fodder to
    nourish the soil,
    So too do we sometimes create Destruction, and
    relish it - as a vehicle sometimes needed for the Growth,
    the learning, the Experience,
    Learning and Growth which ultimately Increases Life,
    and which is a celebration of Experience, in itself.

Once upon a time the Pegans, One with nature,
    with their dance with the 4 elements
    the holy cross of the four directions,
    pre-conscious Sacred Union and Knowing...
    their multiplistic worship:
        masculine / feminine
        dieties to teach about and to evoke
                   a variety energies of un-One-ness,
        the dance in appreciation of how
    the White Light of Source,
    when put thru the prism of Manifest Human Eyes
    splits into a wonderous array of
    different colors
    but it all comes from the same
    Light
Once upon a time dogmatic practicing Pagans
Came into conflict with dogmatic practitioners of One God
Constantine, in his attempts to unify the people,
convened many - who selected Christs' path
It was, after all, on the rise in popularity.
One God. Him, the Father.
So we thought we'd walk that way for a while.

On Earth as it Is In Heaven - meant to remind us:
We Are. One. Source. We're not different, separate.
we are, in our meatsuits -
of course we are separate, dual, manifest.
but the deeper We -
Hallowed Be THY Name.
THY will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Sin in these times meant "off center" - not a wrong-doing.
Sin in these times meant that your understanding was slightly off - just a bit.

How Ironic....
that in an attempt to unify energy behind the dogma of "One" - We inadvertently separated us from it:
A Judeo-Christianity of separation.
    A Source Divine outside of us.
    A world of "right/wrong", punitive actions,
        and retributive justice
    instead of a world of universally common values, strategies to fill them,
        and restorative justice.
I think Mary Magdelaine "got" it. Grokked it.
But having a woman carry The Word,
    the blood of Christ,
    having her womb-chalice carry his child
    how could we then fully Martyr Christs' death?
    He needed to stand alone, and to be Exhaulted
    beyond mortal.
I think Mary Magdelaine "got" it.

How many have died for this slightly-off-center forgetting?
(And We celebrates Experiencing That Too, all of it, even
while my meatsuit mourns it, and We enjoys the grieving, too.)

We managed to re-create the same division / pluralism that the Pagan's rejoiced about.
Duality. God over there, us little and unworthy over here,
begging for forgiveness.
disconnected.

In my meatsuit, sitting here writing, I think,
Now we're coming to that time,
when we will realize -
Both Are True.
Both Are.
Us.
And.

We are One with Source, The Universe, GodForce, Creation -
    and have only to Realize Truth
    if the meatsuit wants to Co-Create with Us Source
    OneSelf
AND
We are un-One with Source, GodForce, Creation -
    for the absolute FUN of it.

I think we're coming to that time,
when we will Realize It.
    The whole that also appears to be 2 halves -
    The Yin Yang of Reality.

We are One with Source, The Universe, GodForce, Creation.
AND
We are un-One with Source, GodForce, Creation.

And -
We have the power of creation at our fingertips.

I think, that we're coming to that time.
And then again, we have the power of creation at our fingertips. We can create that time.
Wanna come out and play?

And this time - we're conscious.

Maybe they were, then, too...
at least, some of the colors.

Gods In Meatsuits

http://gailtaylor.gaia.com — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 16:24:06 GMT

i have walked among gods
in meatsuits
who forget and believe that the suit is who they are
and who avoid running lest the movement rip the suit
and i too am one of them
sometimes

i have walked among gods
in meatsuits
and i too am one sometimes.
where is the world
where i can live a goddess among gods
where is the world where i can grow
a seed, sprouted, pushing through the soil
seeks the sun and the water lest it die

i have walked among gods
in meatsuits
but i'm remembering who I Am.
and this sadness of the suit doesn't keep Me
from remembering what Is Here
it's just the suit's perspective
and one day i'll ReMember Me.
