I am not the love guru

The hugging guru

The healing guru

The holy guru

I am the ordinary guru

And in that,

I am not a guru at all

I am just a reminder

that truth is to be found

in the ordinary,

the natural, the simple, the ever-present

In watching a game

In drinking a tea

In walking in the woods

In holding a child’s hand

In laughing with a friend

In driving the car

In meeting your beloved

In sitting quietly

In letting go of specialness

Truth is everywhere and in everything

When you find it in the ordinary

You will find it everywhere.

If you have experienced strong emotional pain and trauma, and you have tried everything to heal it, the only thing left to do now is to surrender to your own presence. It is to stop trying to change anything for a moment and come to rest as the naked 'I am'. It is to give all of your troubles to God and be one with the source itself. It is to see that your pain has forced you into the deepest surrender, the deepest longing, and the deepest 'yes' to your own indwelling spirit.

You must be willing to die for this;

You must die to specialness 
And be reborn into naturalness

You must die to grasping 
And be reborn into resting

You must die to past and future 
And be reborn into now

You must die to personal identity 
And be reborn as Presence

You must die to all you've learnt
And be reborn as that which cannot be learnt

You must die to time
And be reborn as the timeless

You must die to the Mr
And be reborn as the Master

.

​

The cosmic mask is being removed by God

for some its taken little by little

for others its ripped without warning
It is not your job to question the timing

or the method of removal

the wisest move then is to say yes to that grace which removes all thats not yours
Say yes to that power which is moving within you

which yearns to be born through you

as undivided Presence.
