Guest Post by Dan P.

Years ago, I decided to become a member of a spiritual path which claimed to have a Living Teacher. This path taught that its spiritual master is always with me, and that by practicing various spiritual exercises on a regular basis, I could maintain a deep connection with that master and the Universal Consciousness that was everywhere and in all things. So, I diligently practiced these spiritual exercises a couple of times each day.

After several months, during one of my contemplations, I found myself wondering how much of what I had been taught about this new path was true. Was this “supposed” spiritual master truly always with me? Why not ask? I thought to myself.

A Moment of “HU”

The sky is just beginning to warm above the eastern mountains. Wisps of clouds catch the first colors of the sunrise, painted against a deep blue-black expanse of night sky. I walk in silence, breathing the rich desert air, absorbed in the fullness of the moment.

There was a time when I would sing HU — an ancient word for God or spirit, sometimes called a love song to the divine. This is a way to connect with my inner worlds and my true self. For a deaf man who cannot hear his own voice, trying to sing to yourself is a bit comical. Over time, I worked with something inward, a resonance, that felt more than heard. Eventually, that too fell away. Not lost — outgrown, the way a shell is outgrown.

Have you EVER ‘misplaced, lost or parted company with a beloved belonging only to be blissfully reunited? If you’re like most people, you probably have.

But what happens when those objects disappear? Do you react with anger or negative self-judgment? Or do you take a moment to approach a disappointment by granting yourself a moment of grace, curiosity and/or humor?

I began my contemplation by singing “HU,” the most sacred and ancient name of God, aloud for a few minutes and then silently sang it within. All the while, I pictured myself as Soul in the large ballroom-like space in the Astral Plane (1st heaven) where I had been before.

It was a busy time, and everything in my life seemed to want more attention: Work, relationships, family, health, all could use more time. It’s hard to keep everything in perspective when you’re feeling stretched.

Throughout my life, imagination and wonder has deepened my sense of connection with the natural world. Some of my early grade teachers encouraged that approach to life. But once I entered 7th grade, science instructors preferred I ‘stick to facts.’ But here’s what’s true for me: Whether or not one can “prove” they’ve ever inhabited an animal’s body, when humans empathize enough to ‘walk with them,’ our humanity and respect for all life expands.

This song captures that rare, quiet moment when the world finally makes sense because you’re standing next to the right person. With its tender blend of fingerpicked guitar, rich cello, and soaring vocal harmonies, it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever felt lost and finally found their way home.

Whether you’re reflecting on a journey of healing or celebrating a love that anchors you, let this melody be the soundtrack to your “steady” moment. Lyrics Highlight “Every scar I tried to hide / Every fear I never knew / Started fading piece by piece / Every time I look at you” Credits Vocals: Female Lead & Male Harmony Instrumentation: Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Cello, Mandolin, Airy Pads Genre: Indie Folk / Pop-Folk

The Masks of God

If the people are Hindu, he appears as Krishna, Buddha, or Vishnu, so they will know him. He is Zeus to the Greeks; Jupiter to the Romans; Ishtar to the Babylonians; Varuna to the Aryans; Jesus to the Christians; and Allah to the Mohammedans. He has appeared to all in every age of this world since its creation. As the vehicle for God, he comes in the form to which the people are most accustomed and by the name familiar to them.

These are the masks of God. One timeless power guides and protects whoever contacts It in every age, yet we don’t know any more of It than our own understanding. To see Its true form, to personally experience It in Its unlimited reality, we need to remove the masks of God to look beneath.

Intro:

In my early 30’s I left my first husband; began a new life. I also withdrew membership from my Christian path. It was clear a change was due. Members of my church conveyed my decision to divorce was ‘my responsibility’ as a “Good Christian wife could have helped her spouse heal from alcoholism and live faithfully.”

Life has a way of introducing us to people who are looking for a puzzle piece we carry for them. That’s what this poem was for a man I recently met in Mexico. I was there working with a team of medical practitioners at a clinic in a very small town outside Ensenada.
