    About this ebook

    We have lost our way. We are caught in a mistake of history that tells us that we live in a dead and empty Cosmos. When we believe this, it leaves us desperate, in despair and frantic to find meaning in our lives. Money, goods and fame cannot assuage the emptiness. A full calendar of activities will not cover it for long.

    What can bring relief is the integration of Being into our worldview. We must live our way into the realization that the Cosmos is alive, conscious, intelligent, creative, and generative of our world. We must redefine the Cosmos as a miraculous Field of Livingness. We must include Being, the core of reality, in our understanding. Then the emptiness that we are experiencing will yield to fullness. We are part of something so mysterious and magnificent, so vast, powerful, beautiful and creative that it should continually stun us with wonder. We are graced with the consciousness to perceive this. Including the experience of Being will lift our spiritspermanently. It will carry us back home, where we belong, inside the Matrix of Splendor.

      Dedication

      Introduction

      I am something magnificent.

      I don’t have time for trivia.

      If you had infinite power

      All this sound and light show,

      An inner door opens

      The world is a phantom

      I cannot tell you

      Who is this miracle

      Pull me into Your Cosmic embrace.

      Pour your essence into the world.

      The I that is walking the earth

      I look out into the world.

      We stand on the shoulders

      My heart fills up

      Before me lies the Abyss.

      We’ve lost our way.

      Vast Livingness.

      Wake up!

      I am touched by miracle

      Why can’t I see You

      I want to push deeper.

      The currents of life

      A pulse is pounding

      Dawn breaks.

      I inhabit my body

      The middle of night.

      I yearn.

      I both am and am not

      The night is soft and lovely.

      Here comes the morning light.

      I
