Intro: The Return
After a small hiatus in blogging, I suppose you could say that “Im back” – not that I have ever really left, as I have been ‘tweeting’ and ‘facebooking’, etc.
However the way in which I have approached blogging has changed considerably.
When I first started blogging I was really in the midst of one of the greatest internal transformations that I have ever underwent in my life.
At that time I was trying to find my bearings, re-evaluating where I stood in the milieu I once called home, but had such a radical shift in view was not sure if I were still part of that particular milieu or not.
Turns out, that I have not only remained a part of that milieu, but if such a category exist, then I went into the waters, was baptized, and came out born again on the other side to see clearly that which I could never see before.
In doing so I no longer had one milieu of which to identify with, but my milieu became that of the living body of God/Creation… all the fine lines that divide were shown for the illusions that they were and the only thing left standing was the truth… the truth that we are all part of the infinite, whose spark resides in each of us… after all, how can the creation exist outside of its creator, as it is written, “In Him we live and move and have our being”
Terminologies:
What I soon learned, is that not unlike Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, etc., I had become adept in speaking a certain lingo of a certain cultural milieu [Christianity], instead of changing the language in which I now expressed my views, I found it was even easier to use the terms I already had become accustomed too as the meaning behind them, the light, actually shown through.
Again, the issue is that when we speak, we are understood through the filters of whoever is perceiving/listening to what is being said… who knows how another interprets what is being said. It can only be hoped that in the new found knowledge that one can than try to bridge the gap of the ‘known’ and the ‘unknown’. The known is that which is typically the falsely held beliefs from the ego state… in the end, all that can be done is for the words to act as a pointer on a sign showing the way through the door, and its up to the traveller if they will journey through.
“Every snow flake falls where it should”, everything happens according to a plan, each of our actions fits into the whole – regardless of the level of our understanding, and indeed in disregard to it, as “His ways are definitely not our ways”… the more you learn the more you realize you must yield and act as the receiver. This may sound weak, but indeed its then when you are strong, as the strength of the universe is there to live its life through you, the humble vessel made of clay and water…of which will return to earth.
Be all to all that you may win a few
Maybe this is doable, maybe not… definitely you would have to make multiple accounts to speak within the many faceted egoic realms in order to potentially have an ear lent to you for a listen… and even then if the soul is not their, ready to receive, then storms of hail can come and nothing will penetrate the hardened heart… until God releases that person as the timing is right within their life to advance to the next level. [again using words is limiting and implies some hierarchy, which is not totally true...as the lowest is the highest indeed, and the highest is the lowest, but all depends on the other.]
With my blog, I cannot try to write to the ‘heathen’, the ‘Christian’ the ‘Jew’…while I know if the guard is down and love is there, then people would be receptive to that one truth… the truth which brought us all into being – and I mean the essences of our make up, not just creation in and of itself… for do not be upset if you were just a garden experiment of a lower form than that which you initially thought. [this is in theory, dont get tangled on the words...]
In truth, the need arose for a voice to be authentic in where it is at. As Paul put it, there is no Jew, no Greek, etc… no more divisions that separate one from the other… so what I say, though heavily cloaked in the terms that a Christian would better feel at home at, if the heart is open then a Jew, and a ‘heathen’ will see that the words are garments to what they know to be true within them.
Nothing to sell
Nothing to sell, nothing to change, nothing to be…
Nothing to prove, etc. I stand where I stand. I do not use a label for myself… was Jesus a Jew, a Christian? Heck, he didnt even think “equality with God was something to be grasped” and never really answered when they asked who he was. They missed the point indeed, as we have…
Much to say, but all of it has already been revealed, I just repeat what has been repeated since the foundations of the earth which reverberate with every beat of the earths heart.
Conclusion:
Yes, this will be random thoughts, as usual, that hasnt changed… 
And really the writing style will be much the same, but the angle will be slightly modified. You get what you get. Hey I read Thomas Merton, but at the same time can get something out of Aliester Crowely. Ironically Merton was on the same path, and he was one of the catalyst in my freedom from the chains of dogma…
Life is to short to be worried about trival things… or anything at all.
We have our place, find out what that is… make your place, even if its a ‘desert father’, and be content… contentment is why we are here, not to struggle. We struggle till we realize we dont have to struggle.
My last message gave a mini biography of those people who I have found beneficial to read and learn from on my path… but I promise you this, our paths our different, and you may never get what I did from the same places… whatever you do, do it with full heart and gladness.
Are you stressed? Then leave it be. 
Peace
Dalen
