Haiku of the Day (All I See)

All I See is by

The Light of the Awareness

Of Being I Am.

[Rich Note: What follows is the end of a rather long text dialogue with a lovely German lady names Anna Vortmann that called this one in being:

A: "...Is the last paragraph suitable to overcome a life lesson I recognize but (again and again) cannot deal with? Will it light my dark side, dear Rich?"

R: "LOL -- Which last paragraph?"

A: "All I see...by the light of awareness..."

I will try as a mantra."

R: "YES!  Even darkness is seen in the Light of Awareness.  The darkness not only comes to be redeemed and transformed in the Light, it arises and falls in that Ever-present Light; so use the darkness to remind yourself You Are the Light -- see the darkness and then step back mentally and see the Light of Awareness You see it by.

"You can also use Bill Samuel's approach when you encounter darkness (or lower vibrations of the Light ) by saying: "Thank You for Making the Truth (the Full Light of the Awareness I AM is) Plain."

"Yes, Anna, by reminding yourself that, "All I See is by The Light of the Awareness Of Being I Am," you will be stepping back mentally and out of your conditioned self-identification with "Dark or Self-Ignorant Light" and into the "All-Glorious Light of God" You Are.

(Or more Scripturally Speaking)

"...Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 

"If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there .

"If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 

"Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 

"If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 

"Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee . 

"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:7-13 KJV

A: "Heavenly, thank you so much. I feel instantly better. Vibration raised. Wonderful.

I will do mantra."

R: "Yes, we may have collaborated on a Hay-Ku Affirmation, Degree, Mantra or Poem (call it what you will) for the ages.

[Rich Note: I often do them sequentially with one word on each in and out breathe - with those where the "I" falls on the in-breath and the "Am" fails on the out-breath and that end on the out-breath are more natural and perfect, in terms of balance, as this one is.]

May I do a HOTD using our dialogue to commemorate it today?

A: "Of course, dearest friend. I am honored if you share our dialogue with souls who are interested. I will integrate your breathing in my meditation.

"Thank you so much."

R: "Thank you, Anna, for being the 'Intentional Focal-Point' around which this Pearl was called forth, took form and was so given birth.

(Yours I Am, Rich)

PS: Bill Samuel on the "darkside,"  "evil" or what I prefer to call "self-ignorance light" (Re: thinking, feeling and acting based on a false premise of Being):

Q: "What in the world could the reason for evil be?” 

WS: "My friend, my dreams finally tell me of dreamlessness; my dreams tell me of timelessness; my dreams tell me of wakefulness; therefore my dreams have had a good purpose. If no more, they let me think I know when I am not dreaming

Q: Some men are evil, then, as religion says?” 

WS: "Within every appearance of men, there is the image of God, the Child, the soul, the Christ Light of Life which never leaves him nor forsakes him so long as there is breath in his body—whether his personal intention be evil or good in the world. I am saying that the truth of subjectivity shows me that I am forever looking at my own versions of myself and my self-beliefs, all the way to infinity. Some of them are humanly good, some atrocious. It is for me to live and do good, not evil. It is for me to make the distinctions as best I can—but it is for God to say who is alive and who is dead. If someone comes here, living riotously and evilly, I would be prone to say he is spiritually dead, but only God knows that for certain. I am not his judge, even though I appear, subjectively in the world, to be the judge of good and evil."
