Gayle Gregory began writingthese poems, or rather they
began to be written through her, whileattending spiritual intensives with herteacher, Elle Collier Re, in December2004. The latest poem was writtenMarch 2007. They are in chronologi-cal order and are a testiment to themind’s ability to quickly and deftlycounter any breakthrough threateningits survival and the Heart’s deep andabiding presence and absolute supportregardless of mind’s shennanigans.They speak to the depth and breadthof her spiritual journey and are an openinvitation to any one willing to dive intoa deeper understanding of the God-mind within.
7MIND’S ‘I’MIND’S ‘I’MIND’S ‘I’MIND’S ‘I’MIND’S ‘I’
Look for yourself.Put down books.
Ask yourself,“What do I know for sure?”
“What is the only thing I really know?”
‘I’Not ‘I’ existNot ‘I’ am
Just ‘I’!
Something experiencesOr observes the experience.
Is there an experience?Are you sure?
Speculation!There is mind
But it is not ‘I’.Mind arises and falls
Comes and goesReels in the sense—
Of ownershipSlips the noose—
Over what?
What is it that mindCatches in its game?
What it is that becomesAttached to the mind’s ‘I?’
8
Mind?
Circular logicAround and aroundMind spinning mind
Catching mindAnd who knows?
Who sees?Who is there throughout it all?
9NO SELFNO SELFNO SELFNO SELFNO SELF
Do I fear no self?How can an ‘I’ conceive of no self?
The ‘I’ sees only ‘I’.No self is no ‘I’.
No self to know ‘I’.Obliteration of the ‘I’
Is that the meaning of no self?
No small self is easy.To see the game as mind
The ‘me’ as beliefs and thoughtsThat would dissolveIf looked at closely.That’s child’s play
Or is it?
Child’s mind, child’s purityComplete and utter acceptance of This.
The real gameIs letting the ‘I’ go.
That is God’s Will alone.‘I’ will not let ‘I’ go
Only God can dissolve the ‘I’.
10THE SAFETY NETTHE SAFETY NETTHE SAFETY NETTHE SAFETY NETTHE SAFETY NET
We build up a knowing.It keeps us safe.
Without our realizingOr acknowledging the safety net
We unknowingly slip in to itFerociously defending this that
We now stake our lives onNot realizing what it is we defend
Is what keeps us at a distanceFrom life and living.
This knowing evolvesAs soon as one belief
Is exposedAs the fraud that it is.
Another,Silently slips into its place and
Quickly the void absorbsThe next replacement fix.
Being without beliefIs too scary
Too something deep insideTo the fear- abhorrent DNA.
So grab the nextAnd keep the painful
Strongly in place.
11
FOR THE GREATER GOODFOR THE GREATER GOODFOR THE GREATER GOODFOR THE GREATER GOODFOR THE GREATER GOOD
For the greater goodAssumes we could alter God’s plan.
Usurps God’s power!
For the greater goodAssumes the small ‘I’
Has the ability to chooseBeyond the programming
That assures reactionAction—Reaction
Reaction that is a certainty!
For the greater goodHow arrogant
How wrapped within the mind’sImpotence
Unable to see beyondThe mind’s latest fiction.
Sounds good!Sounds righteousTo a veiled mind.
12
THE END DRAWS NEARTHE END DRAWS NEARTHE END DRAWS NEARTHE END DRAWS NEARTHE END DRAWS NEAR
The ego has to die!Peace can only be foundBeyond time and space
Outside of ego’s domainBeyond the boxes of mind.
As long as mind holds the cardsThe game is still the same
No matter what deck’s usedOr what rules reign
The game is the game…is the game.
Peace lies outside the game.Peace is the death not of the game
But the death of the player.The game will remain
It must go on.It is life, as most know it
But the playingAh! The playing
Nears an end!
13
FURTHERFURTHERFURTHERFURTHERFURTHER
Further…Beyond…This too…
The truth—Regardless!Yes to it all!
Find the one true question.Inquire into ‘who’ wants to know.
Surrender Dorothy!It’s all mind.
Create whatever you will.Don’t blame God.
All mind…God too…
Mind…Just mind…
NothingExists…
All words!
14
YOUR TRUE INHERITANCEYOUR TRUE INHERITANCEYOUR TRUE INHERITANCEYOUR TRUE INHERITANCEYOUR TRUE INHERITANCE
Give it up!All you believe yourself to be
Your opinionsTeetering atop righteous certainty
Your beliefsBuried in layersOf generations
That knew beforeLayered in cultures
And civilizationsThat are naught but dust.
Anything, everythingThat says ‘me’
Give it up!Give it all back.
Take a vow of povertyVowing to never again claim
Any belief as your ownA poverty of knowing
An opening into freedomAn opening into the God Realm
Into your true inheritance.
15
SWEET, SWEET HEARTSWEET, SWEET HEARTSWEET, SWEET HEARTSWEET, SWEET HEARTSWEET, SWEET HEART
Oh sweet heart of mineYour hard shell designed to protect
Sweet, sweet heartYour dear sacrifice understood.
It is time nowTo break open in full praiseTo sing the blessings of love
Long held at bay.
It is time now at long lastTo let down the walls
To crack over the brittle barrierTo bow in sweet aweAt God’s pleasure
To smile in wondermentAt the mind’s attempt
To hold such graceAt a distance.
Yet, what success?
No further than a heart beatNo…closer
So close that it defies any conceptOf distance at all.
16
THE PRECIOUS GIFTTHE PRECIOUS GIFTTHE PRECIOUS GIFTTHE PRECIOUS GIFTTHE PRECIOUS GIFT
What a precious gift this life!
Time to learnThe true meaning
Of Love!
Time to holdOur lover close
And feel the beating of a heart.
Time to seeAll our fears and dreamsIn the eyes of the lover.
If we look closeVery close
To see our own faceShining back at us
Through the lover’s smile!
To experience OnenessAs only multiplicity can.
What a precious giftTo move from God to life
And back home to God again!
17
DISCOVERYDISCOVERYDISCOVERYDISCOVERYDISCOVERY
The little self does not existOther than in programming
Of experience, belief and thought.The little self—a composite
That believes in its’ own realityIts sole claim to fame
That same beliefIs what it stakes its selfhood on!
I am because I believeI believe because I am.
Paper-thin!No wonder we fear discovery.
The true discoveryWould leave us non-existent.
There is no volition or willNo one to act.
Free will versus destiny—The debate a cosmic laugh
Both assume a realityThat is not real!
When we say“Something in us knows
We are more”We miss the mark.There is no one
To knowOf something more
18There is only God
Knowing allAt all times!
As we intersectWith the moment
An opening appearsThat provides a glimpse
Into ‘That’ which is watching‘That’ which hears
‘That’ which intersectsWith this planetary dance
And found in each momentIs the heart of this personThat was claimed as me.
19YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!
YES!Yes to What IsIn this moment
To its AbsoluteDivinity
Yes!To clear seeing
To BeingNot being somethingBut being everything.
How can there be a‘NO’ to anything?
No is a creationOf the wily mind.No is mind saying
‘I’ know better than God.No is a clamoring of
Ignorance.It brings only death.It numbs us to life.
So, say Yes!Completely
Hold nothing back.There is nothing that is yours
Anyway.It all belongs
To God!
20
CONNECTIONSCONNECTIONSCONNECTIONSCONNECTIONSCONNECTIONS
Love is aboutConnections
Falling into UnionWith all that is.
Love Unites!It never divides.
It cannot.Love contains all.
It cannot say no toAnything.
See the contraction.See what you fear
And you will find the placesThat hide from Love.
Your whole being criesOut for Love.
It knows where it belongsAnd asks you to allow
The Love inTo allow the love to
Break you free!

Letting go into complete surrender.
Touch into the core of beingWithin each that unites us in holy wedlock
Opening to the exquisite beauty that you are.
Embrace the undoing and its unnamable fullnessAs each and every cell vibratesSinging its praise of the One.
Angel tears of joy wash down your faceWiping away all that obscuresThis knowing, this being God.
34
SONGS OF LOVESONGS OF LOVESONGS OF LOVESONGS OF LOVESONGS OF LOVE
Let me sing songs of love.Let my heart open in adoration.
Let that which was closedNever feel the pain of separation again.
It is too much to bear.I know not how we manage to cling to illusion
When all about us God calls us Home.Listen to that small still voice that Knows.
Listen to the ageless within smiling upon usPatiently awaiting a break in ego’s wall
A moment of awe, a moment of laughterA moment of sorrow—one of God’s break-ins!
The thief that steals in to give usHis most precious gift—Our Self.

Never again shall I let fearStand in the way Home.
Never again shall I letEarthly needs and wantsDetermine and measure
My love of thee—the God of All.
If it is time, I am willing.Show me the subtle variations
Of “no” that keep me fromKnowing only You.

ABSOLUTE SERVICEABSOLUTE SERVICEABSOLUTE SERVICEABSOLUTE SERVICEABSOLUTE SERVICE
To be of absolute serviceTo let go of any self-importance
Any hope of being some bodyAny thought that I have value
To bow my head in praiseAsking to be used to help othersWithout any need, desire, want.
To let go of all the childhood dreamsOf being looked up to, seen asImportant, admired, and loved
To let go of all judgingAll knowing, all design, all plans
All sense of selfTo fall deeply into love.
Holy of holy, on my kneesI am yours!
37
NO MEANINGNO MEANINGNO MEANINGNO MEANINGNO MEANING
I have no meaning without the All.Each being creates me.Each heart is my own.
Inside my crystalline shellI am the Queen of my world
My world of one whereUniverses come and go
Collapse and expandWhile I, isolated from life
Become smaller and tighterIn each moment
The only meaning, that which IIn my queenliness, assign.
Ah!The Knowing knocks!
The heart beat of the AllBanging loudly on the shell
Crack…The light shimmers in.
Now I bang from withinCrack…Harder
Shatter…HarderAwe…
I have no meaningWithout the All.

Grace is met with a fiercenessThat will not be denied.
Ask and the answer will be given—You become the answer.
Yes resounds throughout eternity.I said, “I do not know you God”“Let me know You” and then,
Believing in the answer became the answerStepping forth in faith
Melted into the Oneness.
Trust the atmosphere.God is closer than your breath.
Forgive me for taking so long to come HomeForgive me for not understanding
Forgive me FatherForgive my fear, forgive me.
God humble this beloved servantMay I seek only to Love
May I put down the armor of selfAnd find a ‘me’ no longerFully dissolved into union
With the divine.
Take my fear of annihilationAnd replace it with a Love so greatThat it consumes me with its Light.

FORGIVENESSFORGIVENESSFORGIVENESSFORGIVENESSFORGIVENESS
Father, forgive me.I have put myself above others.
I have seen myself as better, as more awake.I have compared the One,
And split the indivisible into many tiny pieces.
I forgive this oversight giving it back to the WholeSeeing again the Oneness.
As always, forgive us our trespassesAs we forgive those who trespass against us.
With this forgiving Grace is found.There is only my story on this plane.
Trespass is imagination, superiority the sameDividers of the Oneness, the game continued
Revelers not yet weary of playing the game.
But now I tire of the treadmillRound and round and round and round.
This groundhog has seen its shadow.Game up! Enough! I choose LOVE!
I choose love, I choose love, I choose loveI shall write it a thousand times
on the heart of hearts,Etch it into memory, wire it into my DNA.
As I re-create it can never be undoneFor it is the True undoing, the ultimate Yes God!
52
Yes, I choose loveIn awe, I choose love
Such grace, I choose loveLove, Love, Love, Love, Love, Love…
53
I SHALLI SHALLI SHALLI SHALLI SHALL
It is written on my heart:I shall meet each as God seeing God.
I shall see anything that is less that WholeAs my imagining, something ripe for release
And praise each for their gift to my and our planet’sevolution.
I shall stand naked before you and see only the lightradiating from within us.
I shall be bowed in full surrender to God in all God’sforms and fascinations.
If I deny any, I deny God.

THE AMAZING LIETHE AMAZING LIETHE AMAZING LIETHE AMAZING LIETHE AMAZING LIE
Such an amazing lie.
We lead livesBelieving ourselves
To be realLeading lives of adventure
Lives of sorrowLives of stories
Based on stories that threadThrough the ages
Locking us in a danceWithout end
Passing it alongTo the next
And the nextCovering the lie
With layers of glassEach of us somehow aware
Of something moreNot guessing how big
That something more isIn our wildest imagination.
Couldn’t have seen this One coming!How to explain
Probably shouldn’t try.
