Message To The Criers

Uncategorized

My Lovelies,

Don’t you dare, not for one second, resist the urge to cry!!! When you cry, you cry so deeply and fully that the Angels cry with you. Don’t for one second allow the views of society to hinder your expression! We can cry because it is part of the experience called this Life. The ups and downs, the falls and climbs, the heart-break and the heart-warmth, all of these things that bring us to tears are the BEST parts of Life! It may not always seem that crying may be the best release, but do not resist the urge to cry, embrace it! Say, “I will fully embody myself in this crying until it has run its course,” and then let it go. Do not be afraid to cry, do not worry if anyone is watching and judging you, do not resist the urge, simply let it happen. When you decide to let your body go and return to that place of pure Consciousness, I promise you will look back and be so joy-full at al the sad, happy, ecstatic, confused, joy-full tears you’ve shed!

All My Love,

All Is Well

Hello my Lovelies,

I haven’t written in a while, seeing as the energies from the Spring Solstice hit me like a ton of bricks, but just now I felt compelled to share this. I believe I have written on this topic before but here we go again…

I want to let you know that all is well. We hear that al the time, and sometimes it doesn’t always seem like all is well does it? It seems like the shit is hitting something….maybe the fan, maybe the walls, maybe it’s hitting you directly in the face, but truly all is well.

Now what makes me certain, such an expert, that I can tell you that all is well? I can tell you that by the simple fact that what you are experiencing is no longer what you are experiencing. No, I am not on drugs with that statement.

You see, as we desire a new situation, say more money, that money exists in the very moment we desire it. How could that possibly be? How could I want something yet it not exist? That’s the rub. The very reason that you are wanting something, that you are desiring something, is that your soul already has it. Your soul situation already possesses the lover, the health, the money. Now how do I know this?

Well, you have the desire for it, do you not? You can’t want something if you don’t already possess it. You can’t want air if the air wasn’t free to possess. The trick with now experiencing it in this reality, having it manifest, is to focus your attention on already having it. You must beLIEve. When you beLIEve you lie to your senses…your eyes, ears, tasters, feelers…and instead use your inner guidance….your intuition, your heart….so that you can then experience your desire with your senses.

When you are concerned or worried about not having enough money, or not having the best health, or not being with your perfect lover, just remember that the reason you want it so bad is because your soul already has it! You can also look at it as the desires you have, your heart’s true desires, are God’s wanting for you. God wants you to be abundant in all aspects of life, but it is up to you to manifest those things…and they become manifest by your attention to them, of already having them.

If you want a better world, recognize that it already exists and focus your attention on the new world. If you want peace for animals, recognize that that place already exists and to see that world. If you want an equal society where Love and peace abounds, recognize that it already exists and to keep your attention on it.

That is how I know that all is well. Even in the midst of darkness there is always Light. Keep your attention on the Light and it will grow.

“Desire ye what ye will, and behold, it standeth before thee. Throughout the aeons it is has been thine without thy knowing, e’en though thou hast but just asked for it.” ~ Message of the Divine Illiad

Hello my Lovelies,

Wanted to share a little somethin’ somethin’ that was on my mind 🙂 ❤

LET ME…Ode to Her

Uncategorized

Let me be enveloped in your essence,
To be surrounded and nourished in our complete presence.
Not knowing past or future,
But experiencing US in Eternity.

Let me taste of your beauty,
Through a gentle caress we swim through ecstasy.
Your eyes like the sea,
Gazing deeper only to find depths never realized.

Let me take hold of your heart,
Put your faith in me, as we journey through Infinity.
Walk side by side, heart by heart,
Sauntering in Ultimate Union.

Let me guide us through a journey of our Selves,
Holding me tight, we dance within Bliss.

Let me have you as my gift,
Each breathe we tip-toe through the forest of Consciousness.

Let me bask in the scent of your Spirit,
Enveloped in the glory that is You.
Smelling the sweetness within the Garden of your Soul.

Let me worship every crevasse of your Truth,
Constantly getting lost only to find stability once more.

Let me honor every inch of your Temple,
Exploring every scar, every freckle, every hair,
Raiding your body 1000 times only to find myself searching deeper.

Let me stroke every particle of your mind,
Exposing your fears, knowing your pains,
Only to guard them with my undying Love.

Let me praise your Goddess,
So that my God can know True ecstasy that only You can awaken.

Let me have you now, fully, present,
So that our Love makes the Angels sing.

Let me be yours,
For you will never want again.

Let’s Talk About Sex

Uncategorized

Hello my Lovelies,

Lately I have been discussing the topic of sex with quite a few people. Many of my friends are having a difficult time with this topic. It seems ironic since I have engaged in none of it for some time now, however it seems that our opinions and beliefs are really holding us back from really determining for ourselves why we are engaging in sex, or love-making. This evening, while I was at the gym, a wonderful man I am friends with was explaining to me his opinion of sex. His belief was that pre-marital sex ruined relationships and I’d like to share my Truth with all of you that I shared with him.

You see, sex in and of itself is not a temptation, it is not a path to sin, quite the contrary. Sex, as it was intended by the Divine Principle, was very much a beauty-full experience that many spirit BEings came forth wanting to participate in. Sex is a highway to higher states of consciousness. When we can understand that love-making is a sharing of one’s life force with another person, it is a blending, a coming together, of two fingers of the same hand, it is opening yourself up and sharing the most intimate parts of yourself with another person, then we understand how that can expand our awareness. The Kamasutra was not a book to show you how to have sex, that is natural. The Kamasutra was a book showing us how to make love to the person we wish to share our soul with, and by doing so reach God Consciousness.

Sex is a key, a key to higher states of understanding who we are and seeing that in others. Think about it for a second. When, or if, you had an experience with someone you felt so deeply connected to when you made love, did it not fill your heart up with so much joy and ecstasy that you wanted to experience that forever? Were you not in a state of union with the Divine as you expressed and felt the eternal Love between you and that other person? We can see how so many can become addicted to that, of wanting to feel that constant state of joy, however many of us don’t understand why we are wanting that, just that we want it.

Sex is also a way to physically express inner feelings towards each other. It is an expression very much that allows us to demonstrate how much we truly care for that person. Also, not to mention, that is a way by which we bring new beauty-full Divine vessels into this physical reality.

However, through our collective lack of understanding, and lack of education, through channels such as religion and schools, we are taught that sex is a bad thing. Sex should be avoided because it is a sin. Sex causes STI’s, and pregnancy, and unwanted labeling, and fear Fear FEAR!!

Now I am not suggesting that situations such as those do not occur from engaging in sex, I am simply suggesting that we go about teaching it to ourselves, others around us, and our children differently.

What if from an age when we began to feel the physical attraction to those we were attracted to, those who we looked up to said to us, “Now, I can see that you are beginning to recognize physical beauty and are becoming interested in engaging in sexual behaviors. I’d like to tell you something very important regarding this topic…

“When you engage in a sexual act with someone, you are sharing the most sacred part of yourself. When you decide to engage in sexual behaviors be aware of who you choose to do it with. You can choose to engage in such an act with someone who honors you, who cares for you, who respects you, and who loves you. Or, you can choose to engage in such an act with someone who disrespects you, who treats you poorly, and who is simply using you for physical gratification. If you choose the first person you will not only experience unlimited joy, but you will learn about who you really are and be able to share that with someone. If you choose the latter, you will experience sorrow, regret, and yearn for someone to fill a void that only you alone can fill.”

What if we were told this simple statement? What if WE spoke this simple statement?

You see, the majority of us have lost sight of why we engage in sex. Many of us do it to fill a void, maybe due to an unloving parent or parental figure or insecurity, and think that by engaging in sex with someone they can somehow fill that void; yet when they leave that void still remains. Some of us have been sexually abused and think that the way we express love is through engaging in sexual activity. Some of us simply do it for physical gratification. There can be many reasons why we engage in sexual behaviors. If you see yourself in one of these situations, I do not want to pass judgement at all, because that is your path and it is beautiful, but if we can gain awareness of why we are engaging is sex, we can understand how we can truly experience it’s purpose.

I have never had an unloving parent, I have never been sexually abused, I have however, at times, just wanted physical gratification. I do not know why you engage in sex, only you know that, I do know however, that if you are reading this you are ready to experience the purpose for which love-making was intended.

We have to remember that we are naturally given feelings of wanting to experience sex for a reason. It is NOT because the devil is inside you and wants to take your soul! It is NOT because we are animals and need to procreate. It is much deeper than that. Sex, Love-making, can be an intense, ethereal, out-of-body experience filled with much joy, ecstasy, and Love, or it can be a unenjoyable, boring, regrettable experience. Either situation is very possible, and sometimes we will have both experiences with the same person. However, if we can enter into such an experience with an awareness of WHY we are going to have sex it can lead to many avenues. It can take us down many paths, it all depends on which one we consciously choose.

I’ll finish by saying, I highly recommend that when you choose to engage in sex, choose someone who you would smile glee-fully at when you woke up next to them in the morning. If you do engage in sex, choose someone who not only makes you smile, but has demonstrated through their words and actions that their eyes for you only. If you do engage in sex, do it with someone who lights up your heart when they enter the room. If you do engage in sex, choose someone who you have gotten to know on a deep level mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. If you do engage in sex, make sure it is with someone who you are willing to bare your soul to. If you do engage in sex, make sure it is with someone you are willing to experience  and see the face of God/Spirit with.

I wish you, my lovelies, all so well on your trekking through sexuality. It is a journey to be walked with awareness.

All My Love,
Zach IAM

Rollercoaster Called LIFE

Hello Lovelies,

Just a simple little video and thought that 1,000 others have said before…enjoy!

Where Is OUR Compassion? (Somehwere Within You You Know)

Uncategorized

I want to preface this by saying this may very well be the most inarticulate and aggressive blog I have ever written. I write this with a heavy heart. Hurting for my animal brothers and sisters as well as questioning my human brothers and sisters.

I just finished watching 2 videos. The first with a 2 year-old girl being hit by a car and having bystander after bystander walk and drive by her for roughly 5 minutes before anyone took the time to see if she was injured…which she was by the way and did die. The second video had to do with animal abuse at rodeos. Now the only question I could ask myself is, “Where has OUR compassion gone? Where has our humanity gone?”

Each and every human being is a perfect extension of that which we call God, or Spirit, or Source, EVERY…SINGLE…ONE…and yet we refuse to acknowledge that. How far we have fallen as human beings! We are made in the image and likeness of the Creator, absolute extensions of the Creator, and yet look at how we treat our Earth, our animals, each other!! We poison our Earth, our Mother, with gas and chemicals, and pollute Her rivers and waters with our “technology!” We kill living beings for food! We take life not understanding what it is we do because supermarkets prepare it all nicely for us so we don’t have to consider the fact that the meat we ingest was once part of a Divine extension of Source just as well. We kill each other over beliefs, over ideas, over resources, over false power, over WHAT?!

Each and every single human on this Earth is a Divine extension of God, every single animal on this earth is a Divine extension of God, each and every tree and plant is a Divine extension of God, and yet we walk this Earth never appreciating what our Mother does for us! Not knowing that the very ground we walk in provides that life force that nourishes our very vessels. Not understanding that our sins come not because we are born sinners, but because we refuse to listen to the Divine guidance that is our True Self. We are sinners because we learn to sin! We take life because we learn to take life!! We refuse to acknowledge our Divinity because others tell us we are limited! We refuse to walk this Earth as if each step we take is a blessing! We refuse to walk this Earth and acknowledge that every bug, plant, and animal that we encounter is Spirit in a different form! We refuse to see Spirit within each other, and look at what we have accomplished!

Wars, fear, killing, greed, murder, cruelty, pain, sorrow, all because we REFUSE to acknowledge who we all are. If Jesus, or Buddha, or Krishna, or any religious Teacher were to come forth and look at our actions and words toward each other and this planet, what do you think they would say?! I am doing my best to be compassionate, and I understand we all have our journey to take, but WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR DIVINITY?!?!

What is wrong with accepting the fact that you are God?! Is it because it is sac-religious? Is it because a book written thousands of years ago, and changed countless times by fear-full men, and used to enslave humanity, says it is wrong? What is wrong with accepting the fact that we are all connected?! That we are all in this together!? That we are all extensions of One Soul looking at ourselves through a different perception?! Why is that so difficult to even ponder?! Ask yourself!!!

Why are we so mean to each other? Why do we refuse to look each other in the eyes and smile? Why do we constantly cast judgement on each other based on appearances or beliefs or whatever the case may be? Am I casting judgement right now? Probably. But do I cast judgement for our upliftment? Probably.

We have fallen so far as a collective. Can you imagine what it will be like when we re-emerge into our True form, our Soul Self, and realize how ridiculous our words and actions were? Can you put yourself into that place of BEing in complete Harmony with God and having that understanding that we are all One? Or are you afraid to do that? Are you afraid to take that step to even ponder that it is not blasphemy to acknowledge that you are an extension of Perfection, and that all other beings are as well? Why are you afraid? Is it because of what you have been reading in a 2 thousand year-old book for the last how ever many years and somehow think you will be punished by some outside force, or is it because you refuse to forgive yourself for your past actions and words and need “something else” to forgive you?

And I know that we are awakening as a collective, not just America, or North America, but as a global society. And I know that we are evolving consciously as a whole, I just still see so much fear and hate and anger coming from my brothers’ and sisters’ words and actions and I wonder when we will all decide that killing another living being, including the Earth, is not part of our intention as Spiritual BEings entering into our physical vessels.

For anyone who reads this, there is no need to respond to this, these are all rhetorical questions from within You. These questions are not my questions, these are OUR questions. Somewhere within you you know that taking life is not why you are here. Somewhere within you you know that intentionally harming anything else through words or actions is not why you are here. Somewhere within you you know that we are all One. Somewhere within you you know that it is our task to change the world as a collective. Somewhere within you you know that the lies we have been told all our lives are false. Somewhere within you you know that all the answers lie within your heart and it is your task to awaken them. Somewhere within you you know that each and every one of us is an extension of Spirit. Somewhere within you you know that these words are YOURS!

We MUST regain our compassion, our understanding of who we are. THAT is OUR task and only through our thoughts, words, and actions can we make a change. By listening to heart we will regain our compassion. By listening to that inner voice we will regain our compassion. Our Mother Earth cannot sustain such cruelty, if we do not look in the mirror and make the change that we all want, who knows what the consequences will be.

Our task is to BE that which we are. OUR task is to BE Love. And through that BEing we can overflow to each other and all living BEings. Let us awaken our inner knowing and LIVE that Life fully.

With All My Love,
Zach IAM

Faith In Your Highest Self

Uncategorized

As I’m sitting here, looking at pictures of a 2 year-old boy currently going through what I went through 9 years ago, I ask God, Source, Infinite Presence, what can I do to help this beautiful boy? What can I do to heal this beautiful extension of Divinity? If his parents asked me how I got through it, how would God answer through me? And the answer Source whispered to me was, “Have Faith.”

As most of you who read these know, I am not a religious man. I find myself to be a journeyer, learning from not only great Masters, but Nature, and everyone I meet. Even if you are an atheist, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, Agnostic, Hindu, Taoist, whatever you label yourself as, what all religions teach is Faith.

What would I say to a family who was experiencing such difficulty as a serious health condition, “Have Faith.” Somewhere within each and every one of us is the Divine Flame. It cannot be found through scientific means, but only be felt by a seeker of peace and harmony. It is not blind faith, where you just allow your life to be dictated by a supposed higher power or being. It is a knowing within yourself that what you desire, a healthy child, is exactly what God wants for you and to Know that the Mother-Father WILL heal your child.

I only say this because as I went through my experiences the only choice I had was to listen to one of the 2 voices within me. I had one voice saying, “This is too hard we won’t make it. We should just call it quits. You’ll never get better,” the voice of the ego. The other voice proclaimed, “You can overcome this. I am with you always and you will be healed if you walk the path. I have already healed you but you must make the choice yourself,” the voice of Divinity within me. At the time I didn’t understand how important my decision would be, but I KNEW that beyond a doubt I would soon be free from any dis-ease.

I want to share something very profound that was given to me by the Masters. It is the statement that the very reason that you have the desire for something is that it already exists. We can not want air if it did not exist. In this reality of duality we have 2 sides of the coin, yet in totality we just have a coin. So, if one side of the coin is in existence, the other side of the coin is equally in existence. It is just that we have been focusing so much on the tails-side of the coin that we have forgotten to turn the coin over and look at the heads-side. We keep looking at the tails-side and say, “This is reality! Look! You can see it just as readily as I can!” But if you no longer desire to experience the tails-side, if the tails-side has run its course, all we have to do is flip it over, and we do that through our awareness.

Faith enters in to this because although we flip the coin over it will take a little time to fully see the heads-side. But the very reason you want to have a child healthy, or for you to be healthy, or whatever the desire, is because that part of you that is God is telling you that it is time to turn the coin over. That the coin is much more shiny on the heads-side and you have the power to experience that if you would just turn the coin over. We must have Faith that it will BE our experience if we can pay attention to the heads-side.

Faith is our greatest lesson. It is repeated in all scriptures, in every religion. Jesus said, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” The mustard seed knows that it will soon sprout into a beautiful plant, far greater than anything it could comprehend. It is understanding that the inner impulse you have, the desire you possess, is not coming from your mind, but coming from the Highest part of You. For we are all Source, we are all God.

I say these words to you from an experience that could have only been conquered through Faith. Faith in myself that I was strong enough to endure the storms, and even greater, Faith in the Love that we all are in our complete awareness. We ALL possess this. Choose Faith. Choose Love. Embody Love, and walk with Faith, and all things will soon be yours.

This is Law.

“Desire ye what ye will, and behold, it standeth before thee. Throughout the aeons it is has been thine without thy knowing, e’en though thou hast but just asked for it.”

With All My LOVE,
Zach IAM

You Said THAT?!

Uncategorized

Recently I have been noticing a few things regarding interpersonal encounters on a social networking website, especially coming from my male brethren. Now, there will be no lesson to learn from this, no real deep spiritual questioning, just some observations, and possibly questions we could ask ourselves to understand our behaviors. So here goes nothin’.

Most of the women that I am friends with, or acquainted with, are conventionally quite beautiful. Men seem to fawn over them and find them to be physically beautiful. As such, these girls (women I guess, but we’re all boys and girls let’s be honest) receive much attention and praise when they post a picture of their face, and a lot of attention when they post a body picture, especially of one in a swimsuit or the like. Now, when I read the comments of the men who they are friends with, I think to myself, “Why in the world did you say THAT? Why weren’t you just up-front?”

Usually something along the lines of, “Nice tan” or “Cute sandals” when it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that you’re actually saying, “I find you incredibly physically attractive and I want you to notice me!” So my question is, why are we not more direct? Why don’t we just say what we feel? These are serious questions to ask yourself if you are reading this? Why beat around the bush when all you need to do is change your words so that you express your true feelings and intentions?

Now this next little segment is for my female friends, my sisters. When these men comment on your photos why is it that you ignore them? And moreover, why do you find it annoying to have men you don’t know giving you compliments? That would seem like something you could appreciate, instead of condemn. And lastly, why do you become frustrated that men don’t see the “real you” when you never show that part of yourself? You just post pictures of you in full make-up and/or in a bikini and expect men to look past that and not get a thousand likes. My dear sisters, most men have been conditioned since they were young, and that conditioning didn’t come with a program that said, “Stop looking at her lady parts and tell her how smart she looks!”

Returning to my brothers, if you do happen to do this, recognize it. I would never say to stop it, well I might but I don’t mean it. Just be aware. Be aware of WHY you are commenting on this photo or that photo. Are you doing it because you actually DO like her shoes? Yes…okay that is fine. Are you doing it because you want to be noticed? Yes…okay that is fine too, but recognize that you can just as easily say, “You are a beautiful young lady.” It’s that simple. Does that mean she will respond the way you want her to? Maybe, maybe not, but at least you took the leap of being honest.

And sisters, if this DOES happen to you, a boy commenting on your photo, be appreciative that you have someone who finds you attractive. Do you have to go on a date with him and lead him on? Absolutely not, a simple genuine thank you is more than enough. But also be aware of why you are posting pictures? Could it be that you DO want the attention but might not be getting it from the group you would like it?

I am just throwing things out there. WHY are we choosing to act the way we do? Why do we refuse to be honest with ourselves and share our true feelings? WHY? That is really it. Just questioning our behaviors and hopefully learning in the process 🙂

All My Love

The Image of a Son

Uncategorized

Tonight, as I was eating my dinner and listening to Jason Mraz, I was hit with an image in my mind of my dad and I watching Jason Mraz perform in Berkeley. This past October we had taken a day trip to our old stoppin’ grounds in Oakland where I received my chemotherapy treatment and got to enjoy the culture of Berkeley before we got to see the most amazing concert performed by the fantastic Jason Mraz. While I revisited this memory in my mind, another image flooded into my awareness, an image of me holding my son. And I immediately thought, “Will I have the relationship with my son that my dad and I had?”

This brought on a flood of confusion and anxiety, one because I don’t even have a girlfriend-and definitely no son, and the other because I have been blessed with such an amazing father that I didn’t know if I could develop that type of relationship with my son. For the first time in my life I had a slight glimpse of what all my parent-friends say being a parent is like and how amazing it is, because for a second I actually thought I had a son.

But this 3 second awakening made me realize how incredibly blessed I am! You see, my father and I have a wonderful relationship, as do my mother and I, but my dad and I have seemed to develop a bond that goes FAR beyond that of a regular father-son relationship. Again, so do my mother and I, but this image made me recognize something special.

I have always looked up to my dad. I think that is natural for most young boys to look up to their fathers. As most girls look up to their mothers. But to this day I still look up to my father. I am still enamored by his strength, courage, gentleness, kindness, and love.

My dad has always supported me, he has questioned me, but always supported me. And I realized how few people in this world are blessed enough to have parents that love them so incredibly dearly and unconditionally as my parents. I meet people all the time that have strained relationships with their parents, that can’t wait to be on their own and not deal with their family, but I am not one of those people, quite the opposite. I feel everyday that my mom and dad love me whole-heartedly and they display that. I FEEL loved!

I tell people about my mountain climb with cancer and they always say, “Wow, you are so strong, I don’t know what I would’ve done had that happened to me.” And I think to myself, “Well if you had the loving family I do that wouldn’t even be a question.” I cannot remember a time in my life when I didn’t feel loved. Even when I was a stinker and my parents were upset with me, I always felt loved.

My dad has ALWAYS put his dreams on hold so that my brothers and I never had to want for anything. My mom as well!!! They have both ALWAYS done what they felt they needed to do so that my brothers and I always had everything we needed. I know many of my parent-friends who read this can agree with that feeling and I just wanted to express my gratitude to my parents for doing that!

Thank you mom and dad for letting me fall down while also helping me back up. Thank you for always letting me make my own decisions and being there to help me clean up the messes. Thank you for letting me get dirty and being there to give me a bath (when I was little of course 😉 ). Thank you for always telling me,”Goodnight, I love you.” Thank you for always demonstrating what a kind, loving, stern, frustrated, etc., etc., parent should be. I have always felt loved and some day I will know what it is like to be in your shoes, and I know that you will still be there helping me along the way in that new journey as well!

I truly could not have asked for 2 better people to have been my guides in this life experience! I chose you 2 for a reason! Tonight I was given the gift as to why that was, I not only understood why anymore, but I FELT why.

I guess I am writing this not because I want to make anyone feel bad about their relationship with their parents, but to recognize that that our parents will always love us. They might not always like our words, our actions, our choices, nor we like their words, actions, or choices, but I truly believe that they will always love us. They chose to be our guides just as much as we chose them to be our guides, and we all chose these for a reason. They have helped us, in one way or another, to become who we are and to learn. And for that I am grateful.

All My Love,
Zach Iam
