The
love which I bear the reader is not my love,
nor
mine to own nor claim; for were it that
it
would be limited by my own weak capacity to bear its fullness.
No,
the love which I bear my reader is my Source, not I its –
it
is a love of overwhelming proportion, blinding
with
its vastly unlimited presence while likewise focusing
on
whomever appears before me.
The
love which I bear the reader includes you and me both,
embraces
us equally on a breath so fine, so subtle, so intimate.
This
love includes alike all forebears, after-bears, grizzly Yogi-bears,
and
all future generations to come.
I'll
confide to the reader, but only for love of you:
the
in-tone-ation
of love's mantra is just
the engine it takes
to
power all this. It is not religious songs or hymns – these are all
about
God in your life, you sing them, that's good, they may inspire;
but
… that comes and goes. Even at their best, they are still: mind.
This
however, is something else, this engine:
it is God in
every syllable,
it
is hear
and now and in
reality – and it
sings you, it's
not about
but is
–
you're
the Music – it
is consciousness itself,
conscientiously paying attention.
And
the secret of its working is this:
no
ego taking it hostage, no I-dentification,
just
going back into and back into and back into
the
tone in depth – letting it vibrate, circulate in the chest,
in
the crown, the throat and the belly, the gonads and anus, every limb
–
undoing
knots, opening doors. Let that engine idle (just don't you
be idle):
don't
let your ideals become I-deals and then from there I-dolls,
for
Joyful Joe reminded: "No-Mind makes no deal!"
Proof
of love's mantra is this: where no comfort may be possible
in
your own worst trials, this
quite guarantees it.
This
sovereign joy no one can take from you,
it
is your heritage and your birthright, there on your own tongue;
in
every fresh timeless syllable is poignantly, majestically That
which
alone draws the grace of faith and the line of your destiny.
