Hi. I am Jonathan. Daddy, Hubby, Writer, amongst other labels. A fish out of water, most of my life. Gradually finding my voice and being guided home by Grace and Love.
If God is spirit, then surely God is beyond the reach of ego and the five senses of Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch. I cannot know God in the conventional way of ‘knowing’. God can only be experienced and unveiled in me as God. This is the […]
Over the next few weeks I will share quotes from Writers whose words have influenced my journey in recent years. Richard Rohr is one of such. These words jumped up from the book at me, not to teach me something new, but rather to confirm something I had […]
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Some believe the world to be all that it appears to be, and live under its spell. Others see the world for what it really is, and walk away from it. Then there are those who see the […]
Beloved, a reminder for those moments of stress, pressure and self doubts. Contrary to popular opinions … Life is not about performance. Rather, life is an unveiling of what is within you. It is an expression, and less of a performance. This is your part … Don’t feel […]
Do not look outwards to man,… nor up towards to the sky,… nor down towards the earth. Turn your gaze inwards ..To the stillness that is the altar of your heart. The seed of destiny and greatness resides within you.Be still and know that I AM God. Awaken […]
There is nothing new under the sun. Yet we are so easily seduced into believing that our problems are unique and insurmountable. We become so easily caught up in the stories we tell ourselves.Naively, we rely on the information from our physical senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, […]
In my lucid moments, when the mind is quietened, and the cares of this world held at bay, I know this to be true … All my fountains are in God. My essence flows from the Divine. All my fountains are in you Father God. There his no […]
I choice to note, but not heed my own drama. Like most adults, I come pre-packaged with conditioned thinking and thought patterns. My choice is to not heed the drama and baggage that accompanies my conditioned thinking and thought patterns. However, I have found that it is a […]
Be Authentic. Be You. Be and build something that endures forever. Bricks and mortar, flesh and blood, debates and controversies, doctrines and belief systems, the pursuits and endeavours of men will eventually all fade and pass away. Yet, Eternity resides within you. Within you dwells all the power […]
God is not out there.God is right here now, with you in this moment. The moment you know this to be true,Is the moment of your awakening. God has been hidden in plain sight all the while. The illusionary chains of fear that have held you captive, start […]
A journey of 10 steps for Paul, could take Peter a 1000 steps to complete.That doesn’t make Paul better, smarter or more special.It simply means we express the life in us differently. There is a time and a season for all. We are each required to walk to […]
Religion is not an end in itself. I have come to understand that the ultimate goal of true religion is the death of (ego) self and awakening of the true Self in the image and likeness of God. When this goal is achieved, religion has served its purpose […]
Father, I trust you and I trust my identity and position in you. I refuse to draw conclusions or inference or reference from my thought patterns and perceptions. I am learning to not place my trust in the transient, but instead to wait upon the warmth of your […]
Albert Einstein is reported to have said “There are only two ways to live your life.One is as though nothing is a miracle.The other is as though everything is a miracle.” I think the reality for many, including me, is that we take short intermittent vacations between both […]
