Godness.

[Guest guest]

God is a new idea, never an old idea. If God can be spoken

of as having done this or that, then let that be someone elses

idea of God. A God that is past, is also as meaningless as

your past, let that God go on its way also. Be ready to

receive God on the wing of your breath, like a kiss from a

hidden lover, and live your religion as passionately as you

would your most secret desire.

Be the one and only priest of this religion of you, this will

make you easy to find. The more crowded you are with

useless dogmas and crippled concepts, the more easy it is to

get lost in your city of dreams. Hold onto nothing but the

love you can feel this moment, and make like a fish drinking

an endless stream through the mouth of God.

No matter how true and intimate God seemed yesterday,

renew your marriage vows each morning, and indeed keep

repeating them, until you feel Her tenderness embrace you

again. Without this constant prayer, you might remember

yourself and forget God. When this happens, a whole

universe of divinity flashes out, until you recall it back

again. A million years of karma appears like a tired comic

routine you have seen so many time before. Boredom. You

become what God can never be - boring.

God is a new idea, never an old idea. Today, go searching

the library of your soul for old books that have begun to

smell of time. If they do not open you when you open them,

it is time to be a book burner. All those new manuals that

keep arriving also, if they do not work for you this moment,

then do not keep storing them up, squirreling them away for

a coming winter you keep faith with. Today write a new

scripture, one that lives and changes as you do. A love that

moves as the breath of God itself in you.

Miracles are habits of Love.

They bloom without attention,

and blossom without direction.

Forgive yourself of every sin,

for unforgiveness is the only sin.

Then it is simply respectful of yourself

to forgive others for what they never did.

Let all healing be a Yes in your heart.

No more need be done but this.

Live in this moment of love.

love

eric.
