Only God, God only!
February 29, 2024 8:31 PM innerVoice
I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God. ~RumiWhen our focus moves from external circumstances to an inner awareness, God becomes the home-beacon, the focal point and point of reference of our lives. Any thought, action, situation, or circumstance around what others did, do or will do stops to have any influence over us. In this place there is only a quiet acceptance of the world as it is, without us trying to influence the timing of anyone’s soul jou ......
Of Courage and Love
January 31, 2024 11:35 PM innerVoice
With love you don’t bargain. There, the choice is not yours. Love is a mirror, it reflects only your essence, if you have the courage to look in its face. ~RumiYou are pure consciousness! You are a unique emanation of the most-high God, that manifested itself on this earth plane as you and your unique and perfect life. You are perfect, because you have never existed before in this time and space and your appearance will never exist in the future. There is simply nothing that can be added ......
Explore, Create and Love
December 1, 2023 1:02 PM innerVoice
We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time.~ T.S. EliotEnvision yourself as the eternal being that you are, sitting on the banks of a quiet pond on a crystal clear night, watching the reflections of the moon and the stars in the water.At one point outside of time and space you accept the promise of newness in a world made of three dimensions and you take the plunge from the eternal into the waters of ......
Injections of Light
November 13, 2023 2:10 PM innerVoice
God writes spiritual Mysteries on our heart, where they wait silently for discovery.~RumiOur material world tries to convince us that consciousness only exists within our bodies or gets created by our brains, hence postulating that the material particles around us are the only eternal fragments of our reality. Accepting this as fact without reflecting on the Truth of what God is, creates consumerism, scarcity, anxiety, not-enoughness and most of the conflicts we experience in our world today.Whe ......
Agape Love
October 24, 2023 10:19 PM innerVoice
Agape is the guiding instrument of God’s mysteries.~RumiIf we accept ourselves only as living in this world all our physical, emotional, and mental bodies seem to proof to us that everything we like must be close and darling, and anything we dislike must therefore be distant and unfriendly. Once we buy into these ideas of duality, we get into trouble either, because we take things personally and start to manipulate our environment so we can feel cherished and adored, or we take an impersonal a ......
Vortex, Water, Consciousness
September 30, 2023 10:46 AM innerVoice
Although you appear in earthly form your essence is pure consciousness. You are the fearless guardian of Divine light.~ RumiAll we know with absolute certainty about our human perceptions is that they are a particular modality of experience. These modalities also include our thoughts, feelings, emotions, dreams and visions. Yet, the difference between our sense perceptions and our thoughts, emotions and imaginations is, that only about the latter we believe that they form part of who we are in o ......
Of Fire And Faith
August 20, 2023 8:21 PM innerVoice
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.~ Hebrews 11:1 (KJ21)Living on an island in the middle of the Pacific brings with itself a deep appreciation of what community means and how community is alive and lived every day. I know in my bones that we are all unique, divine emanations of the one most high God, however, there are these times where situations and circumstances arise so abruptly, aggressively and force their way into one’s mind and heart, that all ......
Heaven is Now!
August 9, 2023 1:34 PM innerVoice
Paths cannot be taught, they can only be taken.~ Zen SayingWhen we pray, meditate, study and are in fellowship with love-minded people, we re-train our own mind to clearly notice the appearances of lack, limitation, doubt, worry and not-enoughness for what they really are: erroneous patterns of thoughts and feelings that we adopted by simply being here in this dimension.When we made the journey from the eternal into this temporal and physical world of the here and now, we incarnated with an open ......
Prayer Works!
July 12, 2023 9:23 PM innerVoice
Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying. ~Dr. Earnest HolmesEverything that we perceive with our human senses and beyond is energy and all energy is vibrational. This is also true for our thoughts, feelings and emotions. All these are unique units of energy. In prayer, and especially in our spiritual mind treatments, these vibrational fields are broadened and become wider, more powerful pathways of communication with the Divine.Our vibrational pr ......
Continuation
June 24, 2023 9:37 AM innerVoice
Whenever I walk, sit, eat, or practice calligraphy, I do so with the awareness that all my ancestors are within me in that moment.~ Thich Nhat HanhIt is easy to take things for granted doing the day-to-day tasks and duties of everyday life. It is easy to be on auto pilot when we do the little projects and undertakings we call mundane. We need to remember that we are creating that, which we want to experience! If we are going through our day unaware and are chasing only the completion of tasks an ......
The All Within

We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time.—T.S. EliotSpirit is everywhere and includes All that there is. It includes, embraces and permeates all of manifestation, and yet Spirit is so much more!

The Now and the Eternal
April 1, 2023 4:17 PM innerVoice
Meditate now on steadfastness and clarity, and let those be the wings that lift and soar through the celestial spheres. ~RumiWe are having our beingness in the heart center of God! God is pure love and creates out of Itself all of creation, which includes you and me and everything around us. Because God does not have a beginning or an end and is without any circumference, God‘s is everywhere present in its fullness and knows all about our needs before even we know them. We all are perfect, uni ......
Your Life Matters
March 21, 2023 4:14 PM innerVoice
Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.~ RumiOur life is precious! This moment is precious! This moment right here and right now is one without a second! This moment is significant and there is not one moment more important than another moment. Quite often we might be distracted by the notion that we need to wait for a “special moment” to occur before we allow ourselves to fully engage. However, all we are doing is withholding our gifts in this moment.While we might ......
Wave of Life
February 28, 2023 1:37 PM innerVoice
God is pleased when your love realizes it is part of something oceanic and begins to move with the whole …” ~ RumiEvery morning we get up to get on the surfboard of our human self, prepared with everything we are as true Spirit, ready to catch the next big wave of infinite potential of the day.We get to decide which wave we are going to experience! The question is, whether or not we can observe the ocean of circumstances, cause and effect. Do we recognize the patterns of the circles of Life, ......

The Gift Of The Cosmos
December 5, 2022 11:51 AM innerVoice
A gift is pure when it is given from the heart […] and when we expect nothing in return.- The Bhagavad GitaWhen we look at the cosmos through the lens of our inner eye we get to answer a core question about the way we live in this world: Do we live in a universe comprised of large amounts of empty space and lifeless matter or do we live in a universe that is creative, alive and vibrant?While living in an empty universe encourages beliefs of not-enoughness, doubt, worry and self-destructiveness ......
The Spiritual Key
November 3, 2022 3:17 PM innerVoice
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd!~ Mevlâna Jalâluddîn RumiIf we go through life feeling helpless, hopeless and believing that some outer situation needs to change in order for us to be happy, we need to bring back into our awareness that the thought of not liking something is in itself creative! If we place our attention on the things we do not want we will get more of them! The spiritual key that is being handed down to ......

The Beloved is running through my veins. I am life itself!~ Mevlâna Jalâluddîn RumiYou are a unique emanation of the Spirit, a unique focal point in time and space, a unique vibrational frequency that never existed before and will never occur at another time.However, it takes your free will, your permission, for all that, which is life affirming, life nurturing, loving and peaceful to express through you.Prayer, life visioning, spiritual study and fellowship are your tools to allow yourself t ......

Spirit is ever present, all knowing, without a beginning or an end and Spirit loved itself so much that it created you out of itself.

We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.- Albert EinsteinThrough the practice of our sacred Truth teachings of affirmative prayer, meditation, visioning, spiritual study, and fellowship, we become more and more of our greater yet to be. Through our own expansion we become a stronger, wider and better conduits for the Divine to express itself in, as and through our individual lives.Through our spiritual practice we get to catch the ideas and inspiration that ......
Inside The Upside-Down
July 12, 2022 12:57 AM innerVoice
Do not worry that your life is turning upside-down. How do you know the side you are used to is better than the one to come?~ RumiIn Zen Buddhism there is an old saying: The whole world is upside-down.What this wisdom teaching tells us, is that the way the world looks from an ordinary or conventional perspective is pretty much the opposite of the way the world actually is.Living in this world, yet ignoring spiritual reality and brushing aside spiritual laws, is actually much more perilous t ......
You Are The Gift
June 18, 2022 5:28 PM innerVoice
Just sit here right now don’t do a thing, just rest.~HafizYou are the gift through which Spirit expresses itself. You are unique and special and your vibrational imprint on this planet has never existed before in time and will never be exactly the same in the future. You are precious and you are the present of this present moment!However, we go through many moments, when our mind is on auto pilot, and where we tend to focus on the mundane of objects, situations, circumstances, feelings, emotio ......
Truth
May 18, 2022 8:40 PM innerVoice
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way, and not starting.~The BuddhaWhen we touch, know and understand something inside of us that lies beyond reasoning, probabilities, opposing interests, or scientific knowledge, something that resonates within us so much, that when we know it, we can never ever unknow that Truth. At this stage we have reached a touchstone, which we need to share, teach or simply vibrate through our being.One of the great wisdom teach ......
The Gift of Ku
April 8, 2022 11:51 PM innerVoice
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.~ Jimi HendrixIt is known today that the ancient Polynesians colonized the Pacific nearly 1000 years before Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean. For hundreds of years prior to Western contact, the 'ulu or breadfruit tree played a significant role in the culture and spiritual life of Hawai’i. One mo'olelo, or legend, about how the 'ulu came to be is known as ‘The Gift of Ku’.Ku was a wise man who loved to live amo ......
