It was early morning and the sun had not yet risen. I watched in awe as the sky warmed, then brilliant pink, orange, and yellow colors stained the deep blueness of the night sky. All this and much more had happened before my camera shutter clicked and the picture taken.

When I looked at the picture, it was just one moment in a scene that didn’t change, as the light shifted. What had changed was being still, being present, noticing without looking, without an agenda, and letting nature show me its beauty. That is something that arrives on it’s own and not part of my doing.

For over 25 years, I’ve written and shared a Christmas season poem with family and friends.

Each year Spirit leads. I begin by asking the Universe what that year’s theme will be. The wording of my question changes but the intent remains: “What theme does Spirit want me to explore?” And, “how can what I share about it help the reader better realize their link to life’s gifts?”

Recently, my computer failed to start up like normal when I did a restart. The wallpaper image that usually pops up early in the process wasn’t there. In its place was a bright yellow screen. After a good half hour, which didn’t feel all that good, the computer was back in operation.

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.

This song shares the experience of a transition from a vivid dream to a transcendent spiritual journey, where language dissolves and pure being takes over. “Where the Silence Sings” traces one soul’s surrender to the inner pull of divine love, following it past the last border of thought into an expanse of sound-and-light in the realms beyond the mind.

From The Golden Book of HU, pp. 80-81

The image of an old friend came to mind while exploring some of the manicured grounds of the temple at Param Akshar [on the Soul Plane]. At least that was my first impression of him. But perhaps everyone here is an old friend. I’ll call this Soul, Maurey, for ease of reference.

One of my favorite spiritual exercises is called “The Open Heart.”1 It involves loving or caring for someone or something more than we do ourselves. I practice this daily and have experienced a variety of profound results.

I love cooking and baking for family, friends, and neighbors. On one particularly crisp winter morning, I was given an opportunity to express my love to a stranger. As I was preparing to leave home to facilitate a Satsang class, I was guided to do something I would not normally do. In addition to the homemade chocolate chips cookies that I brought every month, I included a bunch of bananas and a $20 bill.
