Oh most brilliant blaze of Light
with your brightness have you banished night
your corona illuminates your church
the temple where truth and knowledge perch
the fire of truth has burned through time
has forged new beings with hearts refined
those who seek you will be purified
within the furnace where dross has died
The flame of his Light has carved it's path
opened eyes and minds two thousand years past
he is the one who created heaven and earth
the breath of life to soil gave man birth
Loving kindness is the cloak you wear
love of life you have sought to share
who's radiance of truth imparts sight
and who's instruction divides wrong from right
What you taught us on the Mount
are the only things that really count
the rays of Son rest on your garden
All of those who would receive your pardon
Your instruction breaks the cloak of illusion
the teaching of priests who dispense confusion
inculcation of priesthood have you riven
enlightenment from you has given us vision
Light given by you does coalesce
solidified by the hearts you bless
Son of God you gave the world Light
that brightens path throughout the night
Your eminence above all others is plain
to enlighten mankind the reason you came
Your delight was daily with the sons of men
those of us lost and born into sin
sources John 1:6-13 John 8-12-18 Prov.8:23-33

No, I am not the smartest apple on the tree;
and maybe I don't rely enough on social media;
and perhaps I don't believe everything I hear on TV;
but I am certain that my head is not buried in the sand.
It's like this. Last week I received the instruction package
for the upcoming Governor Recall Election in California.
We recalled one governor some 15 to 20 years go, but
I forgot the process for voting in a 'special election'.
So after receiving the information package, I called the voter
registrations office to verify that in addition, I would be getting
my usual ballot in the mail. I was cordially informed that my ballot
would be in the mail the following week. By then, I'm asking myself,
"How hard is this?" I am pleased with the intelligence and politeness
I received from our county workers.
The following week has arrived, and I received my ballots in the mail today for the upcoming September 14th election. Again, I say to myself, "Everything is so timely; how hard can it be?" Within a couple of days, I will have voted and my ballots will be in the mail, postage paid.
And I say to myself, "Am I missing something, or is it only like this in California?" I tell you, it must be different. Otherwise, I'm confused
about all the 'voter fuss'. ... What am I missing ...?
Voter fraud is one thing and voter process is another. The process can be adjusted and remedied, but fraud is a moral dilemma that will never be fixed with politics. Our culture is most definitely moving away, not toward God; and therein lies the problem. God help us.
081721PS *Update: I received a notification from the county election officials on 82421 that my ballot had been counted.

“There is no need of knowledge, reasoning, time, space, instruction from a teacher, or attainment of Samahdi.
I am naturally the perfect Consciousness, the Real, like the sky, Spontaneous and steady.”
we are as we are complete
with whom then should we compete
life flows on all by itself
what can we add to the Self
doubts that arise are of mind
but we’re soul loving and kind
resting instrument of thought
we become here now self-taught
we’ve vaporised fears have flown
samadhi too is now known
wisdom downloads have been graced
and wayward ego defaced
all we do is dwell in heart
feeling there ignition start
we are as we are complete
from head to toe bliss replete
what was veiled is now revealed
and traumas felt in dreams healed
breath by breath we bilocate
between earth and heaven’s gate
ego’s dead we’ve reclaimed light
breath by breath heightens delight
having plugged energy leak
we’re he we set out to seek
'Tis well-known that any pasta concoction will always me appease,
But I reckon my all-time favorite is plain old macaroni and cheese!
Ah! That simple but hardy fare sets my old taste buds a-twitchin',
When my spouse announces, "Honey, supper's ready!" from the kitchen!
As far as I know Mr. Kraft invented this delectable mixture,
That has over the years become a staple American fixture.
'Tis easy to prepare - on the box is the simple instruction,
And you won't clutter up the kitchen making a big production!
I've sampled exotic pasta dishes in romantic Roma and old Napoli,
Such as fusilli bucati, vermicelli, lasagne, fettuccine and ravioli.
They were scrumptious but if ever my palate you want to tease,
I'd prefer a hefty helping of plain old macaroni and cheese!

Indeed taught by God’s inspired Word*, devoid of error-trace

While learning from His wisdom of enlightenment’s rays!

If I weren't afraid I'd never have made
The decision that changed my life's direction
An absolute gut-check, no options carefully weighed
My path took an abrupt mid-course correction
Raised with a bare modicum of religious instruction
I knew I was born Jewish, but that's about all
Didn't see anything in it but weeping and destruction
'Til the day my ignorance made me feel small
Confronted by an aggressive evangelist, I had no reply
Couldn't defend my forefathers' faith with a single 'why'
Thought I, a 3,000-year-tradition must have a lot to say
I resolved to go to Israel the very next day
While I had always resented being labeled 'a Jew'
What if the little I knew was actually true?
That there's a God in Heaven Who loves you
But Who you're personally accountable to
Looking back, it was my fear that saved me
From turning my back on my people and nation
For that I can surely thank my lucky stars
That fear's the first step toward faith and salvation
