Make your spiritual progress essential,
Not in a linear or dualistic nature,
But by the way in which you perceive and respond to what unfolds before you.
Use your will to act from your spirit,
From oneness.
This is the path.
Do not spend time worrying of what is to come,
For when has this ever proved fruitful?
In your version of a utopic world,
There is a version of you that can be expressed here and now.
This is the path.
Treat your mind as your loving servant,
And the body as the miraculous vehicle that it is.
Remember that these are the tools for your expansive creation.
See the world from the eyes of the one benevolent love,
And the realities you dream of will be made real.
This is the path.
Do not spend time evading the present.
This will only prolong the abundance and bliss you yearn to relish in.
This is the path.
Do no harm unto others,
For they carry the very keys to your unfolding,
Especially your transgressors,
For without blame you are free.
Do no harm unto yourself,
For wagering your worth with the illusions before you will only prove dire and weary.
This is the path.
Dash from love whenever possible,
For withholding it only deters your inevitable return to all that is real and true.
In response to fear we remain within its hold.
We must rise above.
This is the path.
Everything is an invitation to a higher truth,
A higher you.
As you break down the illusions of separation,
Your perceived barriers will also fall.
There is no great path to awakening.
There is only the compass of your eternal heart.
This is the path.
The truth of all things resides in oneness,
And the power of creation resides here in the present.
To return home to presence as often as you can,
To feel the oneness that holds all things,
Including you,
In perfect working order.
This is the path.
And what if you were to abandon the ideals that keep you from living fully in the grace of God,
Which is to say your greatest light,
Your most free and wild expression?
And what could happen if you left them here,
Here at this crossing point?
Imagine the hearts and worlds that you would illuminate.
This is your will.
And this is the path.
