Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm the small voice inside you. We're all connected. Everyone of us can hear me. It's just that not a lot of us listen to me. I am with you always. I'm not only with you...

...I am you.

Lest you think I'm just mumbo-jumbo'ing here, give this a think. Here's who I'm not:

I'm not a white-robed, Ted-Neeley-as-Superstar with hippie hair and a soft brown beard, or any other image you've built up in your mind or hung on the walls of your churches or painted onto black velvet like some Elvis.

I'm not the poster child or the spokesman for the Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, Baptists, Branch Davidians, or any other cult.

I'm not the King of the Jews or the Prince of Pop or the Knight of Wands.

I'm not some angry god coming back to reward one group with Heaven and to damn another group to Hell.

I am simply this — All There Is. Consciousness. Knowing Itself. Here. Now.

I don't give a flying figtree about churches or steeples or hymns or prayer meetings or whether you tithe to a preacher or how long your hair is or who you're sleeping with or what doctrine you think is "the way." The way is simply to be here now.

Forget the past. All those things you worry yourself silly over — religion, politics, what so-and-so did to you last week, what your parents did or didn't for you when you were a child, what Ruth Ann said behind your back about you last week to Susie. It doesn't matter. The past isn't Now.

Forget the future. Forget the what-ifs. The fears. The worries. The oh-no! in the night terrors. Just let it go. The future isn't Now.

Be. Here. Now.
