Meditate and Fall In Love


I hear the whisper “Ash, get out of your own way – I’ve got this, every last detail.”  It seems to me that purpose of the steps, yoga, other spiritual practices, is to get out of our own way so that the great goodness of the Universe can have it’s way with us and show us things that we never imagined possible.  The purpose of  being consciously in a relationship with a God of your understanding is to be in awe.  If you aren’t in awe that you need a bigger God.  God is as Big as you can perceive it to be.  God is Infinite so even the most evolved person is only sensing Infinity.  Wow!  Infinity – ponder that for a few moments and be prepared to have your hat blown off.  Seriously – sit quietly with yourself and look for the gap between your thoughts and there you will find God.  Thoughts can certainly be beautiful and sometimes even inspired.  But most often thoughts are regurgitated patterns of old.  In sobriety and in life we are truly seeking newness – the spontaneous movement of Spirit as creativity, freedom, flow, joy, truth, inspiration.  We must become present in the moment to experience the heaven of the spontaneous movement of Spirit in the moment.  Attachment to past or future keeps us from a full availability to the heaven of this moment.  All of the great Spiritual icons of the ages speak to the importance of meditation – of becoming still.  Often we say “Be Still and Know…., Be still and know…..  Be still and truly know that the I AM of your soul IS God!”  Wow, ponder that…. A God that is within you and all around you at the same time.  Ponder a God that loves you into Infinity – A God that Loves you more than everyone who has ever loved you in any moment of your life, put together, times a million… times infinity.  That is the Love of a Higher Power that I am talking about.  In fact, every moment that you have ever felt love from another or a hug from a starry night sky, that was God seeking yet another way to make you feel It’s Love.  Get quiet and ponder a God that Loves you and is Loving you right now, in this very moment.  It never leaves you and never forgets to Love you.  It is the very Love that You are.
