What is your Claim?



"In the waking moments of time, all is known to the traveler of, and with the Spirit of the Oneness!"

It is quite interesting to me how many people claim the practice and expression of Mediumship. I suppose it is not unlike the claim to being a musician. Yet, even within the musical community it is very well understood that there are varying degrees of the expression of music. All musicians, be it part time musicians, or full time professional musicians, know fully well that they engage in the expression of music, because it just feels great to do. There is an indescribable movement within one's being that incites the individual to simply, want more of this elixir. Its not because they believe themselves to be tremendously gifted, or that they believe themselves to have something to share. Acceptance of one's inner gifts, is the plight of all of us here in the physical world. However, to know oneself, is to know one's weaknesses, as well as, one's strengths, to nurture these strengths, and to nourish the weaknesses through acceptance of one's true position along the continuum of thought known as the One Light of the All!

As I attempt to be within the flow of Oneness, in my everyday moments of awake time, I am always reminded of these strengths or weaknesses. I am always aware of the thoughts that lead me to a place of further strength, or the thoughts that edge me towards my weaknesses. Do I as a musician accept my inner gravitation towards the expression of music, or do I reject it? Do I as a medium accept my inner gravitation towards the expression of discarnate intelligences, or do I in turn, reject it? If I respond to these questions honestly, I would have to admit that the expression of music has always been for me since I was a child. As for the mediumship, the knowingness of Spirit has also always been there since I was a child, however, the expression of it, has not been met with tremendous acceptance. Alas, I digress to the authentic admission of my truth.

Despite the fact that the voice of the Oneness within me, has lead me to a place of sharing of the Spirit of the One, with the Spirit of the many, I at times wish only to be a musician/composer. As a musician/composer, I am constantly striving to better my skills, understanding, and overall execution of the expression of music. The same holds true for the expression of my mediumship, even though I may resist its expression at times. With both facets of my inner being, I am challenged to remain open to receive, so that the inner cup is constantly filled. My quest is to be the best musician I have the potential to be, as well as, the best medium I have the potential to be.
As both a musician or a medium, I look to bring a uniqueness, my original imprint on these age old practices of the Soul, and yet this is it, am I really any different?

I suppose in any area of expertise one is susceptible to being measured, judged, sized up, if you will, and really this becomes the standard of wether one is any good or not at what they are claiming to be. How ironic! Is this one's truth, as it relates to the One Light within their respective being, or a projection of truth, because of the agreement of society?
Does what one express from their inner self, truly determine what they are outwardly? In other words, can I firmly claim the fact that I am a medium, or musician? Well, yes of course I can! These are choices that I continue to make in every breath of every day.
Which implies, I continue to cultivate that which I am, or believe to be within these choices. I taught band for many years which implies I would have to have a performing knowledge of the different band instruments. Yet, I would never make the claim to being a flutist, nor trumpet player for that matter, just because the gift or the ability is there.
So, as I travel with the Spirit of the Oneness within me, desperately at times, trying to understand what is being asked of me, I fall back to this notion: I am what I choose to be, and for no other reason, I am this expression.

For all those individuals who claim to be a medium, or psychic, know who you are inside, and express this to the best of your ability, constantly asking yourself to grow and be better at what you are claiming. Not because you believe to be chosen, or that you have a special gift, or that you believe that you have no choice but to express your ability to read for others, or even that you believe that you can help others. One makes a claim because they choose it!
Our inner being strives to be One with itself, to be re-united with the total expression of Spirit, we refer to as God. This is its ONLY claim! All else becomes a tool to assist in the cultivation of this relationship with the Oneness.

How we get there is up to us, which path, route, journey, or mission we may choose, I suppose we all have a knowingness, that our experience is precisely guided by the One Light of all that is, was, and always shall be! Enjoy your claims, as you cultivate them, to be the best your potential has to offer, I encourage all of us, to not settle for anything less!

All About The Oneness!!



The Human consciousness has travelled through millions of years of evolution, to finally arrive at the understanding that life here within the earth, represents an accumulation, of all aspects of itself. That as the globe changes, we as a consciousness, will undoubtedly change! Each componant of the globe, will reflect this transformation. All that is found within this container, the earth, will share in this form of involution, and then evolution, of thought creation.

To put it into a smaller perspective, this implies that as we, individually, look at the experience of another Human being, who perhaps lives in another continent, we would recognize in some form or another, our own experience!

Where one lives does not dictate how one lives, ... or does it? Is it possible for an individual who resides in North America to experience poverty... the answer is of course, yes! Is it possible for an individual who resides in India, or in Africa, to experience a life of sheer affluence? Again, the answer is yes, it is possible! Clearly as a world consciousness, it seems that we have agreements as to which parts of our world ought to be impoverished, and which parts of our world, ought to be rich of the spoils of this earth, this is exactly what we are reflecting.

'Oneness', is experienced as an individual shares the story of their lives. In doing so, it is possible for another who reads or listens to this particular story, to see their own image within the words shared, their own reflection. Interesting how the patterns of existence are not limited to a geographical location. Yet again, the repetitiveness of life's cycles, demonstrate to us that energy can be transmuted. That is to say, the seasons come and go, we are fully aware of what each season will bring, and yet somehow the nuances of each season as compared to a previous year, would be different, transformed.

Each time you get up in the morning, you are exactly the same as each living aspect of this wonderful globe, in the sense of becoming awakened to a more aware state.
'Oneness' as it were, is meant to be reflective, as well as, introspective. Each of us awaken to the sheer fact, that we live on this earth, within this globe of existence, all part of the same complex of micro-organisms, changing and growing, transmuting.
The reflectiveness of our existence shows us that, we are never really alone in our life, always connected to this flow of energy, despite our perceptions. This in turn implies, that an individual living in war torn country, can experience absolute peace and harmony of the Soul, from moment to moment, just as one who meditates on peace six hours a day, and lives within a Buddhist colony in Tibet.

Removing the knowingness of life's inequalities, all of Humanity feels and shares in the joys of, or despairs of, another, without evening trying! This is what it means to be In-Tune with, being ONE, through i-n-t-u-i-t-i-o-n!!
This is the ultimate juxtaposition of Truth! To be ONE, is certainly to be the OTHER, to return to the ABSOLUTE!!

So, am I struggling in my attempt to attune with the Spirit of the Oneness within me? Or am I uplifted within every breathe I take? One would have to only look within their own being to determine the proper response to this question. As for me, the concept of intuition, continues to evolve, and brings understanding that at times I do not wish to have, pains I do not wish to feel, and then, of course, if I am honest with myself, Love I do not wish to feel. And yet, this will also change, as I attempt to be ONE with the ALL!!

Evolution has certainly taught the Human Species, and all sub-species, that despite life's inequalities, imbalances, and involuntary experiences, the persistence of thought creation as a whole, continues to propel the Human consciousness towards a higher good, a feeling of more than, a shared existence of similarities, a willingness to be united, and mostly, a feeling of the reciprocity of Love, Peace, and Harmony!

The Human consciousness reflects itself, as does the globe reflect its evolution towards another state of being!! ALL One in the same of LIFE! This is the experience of the ONENESS!!

ENJOY!!
