" . . . Who Art In Heaven"

 

In one breath drawn you can know Him,
in one breath, on each breath, if you can train your mind
to concentrate without ego and without thought of "egolessness".
Just you be – and breathe. Love will teach.

Do you see that cosmos, with all its vast power?
It's all show, but a reflection of His infinity.
Your puny insignificant form against That
is precisely the very love-vessel into which
He will pour all that infinity, when by His grace
you have attained to the potential for which
you took birth, however many Human births it takes.

Would you for one moment hold That enormous love for you
in the pearl of your heart, in the flame of your belly,
in the long intoned chord of your soul, the sound of the Name.
"Shem" is Name, "Shemaya" is Heaven: the Realm of Name.

What you call mind will never come close to comprehending,
as it predates your birth and is your Source.
It is not for you to comprehend but to re-member,
and still not comprehend – yet remembering, embody.
To remember is to know this love is with you, 
whatever the idiot others reflect back at you – there are no others,
there is but this: you are loved by That, as you come from it.

And there you return, for it postdates your passing from this life.
You want to fixate on heaven-and-hell? ... Knock yourself out,
you cannot eat them, they will not nourish but leave you empty,
in hunger and loss and fear and wishful delusion, doubt and abandonment.
How will you treat others then, how will you treat yourself?

Look at That! When you know that you are loved by Him,
and heir to that love, whom will you fear – here or there or hereafter?
Behold That and become full with it, gorge yourself on that love,
there is energy no sport-drink will ever give you, you will feel fresh
in your Body, this little Human Body of atoms and molecules and cells
all feeding on that conscious intelligent breath taking in all that love.

Claim your sovereign heritage, bring the universe into your own house.
