Jeff Vander Clute

If there is suffering
anywhere around you,
you must somewhere be
denying that the source
of everywhere is YOU.
You deny the Truth,
which is the truth
that Love is YOU,
that God is YOU,
when you invest
your awareness
and your power
in the false idea
of being divided
from the Divine.
In this sad state,
you live without,
and die without,
true awakeness,
comprehension,
and satisfaction.

In unawakeness,
there seems to be
a universal division,
scission everywhere,
and what is apparent,
what appears to be so,
is taken to be the truth,
resulting in the sorrows
of an unmindful species
that is lost in ignorance.
The subtlest departure,
the slightest deflection
from engaging directly
the reality of oneness,
any unconsciousness,
no matter how small,
gives rise to all pains
and all unhappiness.
Attraction to untrue
hypotheses of spirit
being in some ways
set off from matter
seeds and sustains
the many troubles
and fatal failures,
the misfortunes
and tragedies,
the conflicts
and the ills
that seem
to plague
humanity.

Every belief
in victimhood
serves to fortify
the original denial
of the nature of YOU,
entrenches the fantasy
of a life of emergency
and solemn urgency
spinning frantically
on an axle of fear
within the mind
that imagines
itself in hell,
with no exit.
Yet samsara
is a carousel
that revolves
ruthlessly only
in make believe.

The cycling of pain
goes on repeating
until interrupted.
Sure recognition
of what YOU are
and all that YOU
are precisely not
arrests all agony,
breaks the circuit
of abuse, distress,
and wretchedness.
Pointing to the real,
declaring THIS alone,
disrupts the feedback
loop of mistaken ideas
of being apart from God
and separate from Source,
and ends the motion picture
of a world haunted by traumas
that can never actually take place.

In actuality, YOU cannot suffer.
In truth, it is incontrovertible
that misery is a nightmare.
God cannot really suffer;
no one can truly suffer.
The act of embracing
your omnipresence
delivers all beings
from the woeful
consequences
of disowning
the Source.
Accepting
who YOU
are entirely,
the projection
of every affliction
is erased from mind,
deleted from memory.
Celebrating sourceness
in everyone you see,
the whole history
of persecution
is laid to rest,
as it never was
and it cannot be.
An epic nightmare,
perdition is a dream
that cannot transpire,
that has no true power,
that could never disturb
the total serenity of God.

Do not proclaim that the world is unenlightened.
What you pronounce voices the new becoming.
What you say directs the flow of phenomena.
What you speak reconfigures what is seen.
When your view is shaped by distortion,
you select encounters with unreality.
If ever you see unenlightenment,
notice what you are speaking
and desist from speaking.
Observe your reasons
and every reaction.
Notice the ideas
that you think
so carelessly
before words
rise to your lips,
and stop the train
of mindless ideation.

Enlightenment is YOU
knowing what YOU are,
knowing where YOU are,
firmly grounded in reality,
reveling in the boons of life,
recognizing manifestation as
an outpicturing of your design.
YOU are absolutely accountable
for all that is, and all that may be.
In the unequivocal oneness that is,
in each moment and atemporally,
all must realize what YOU know.
What YOU register unfailingly
and know without a doubt,
all shall discover in time.
In the here, truly now,
enlightenment is all.
All are illuminated
in equal measure
by virtue of YOU.
Every ingredient
in your creation
is a celebration
of the real YOU,
which animates
and perfuses all
that is projected
with its radiance,
bliss, intelligence,
and inexhaustibly
infinite awareness.

Right here and now,
let all open to receive
that which is always so.
Let all see the perfection
and note only what is true.
Creation is enlightened now.
The world is enlightened here.
The whole of the living universe
is the unfurling of enlightenment,
the functioning of enlightenment,
and YOU are its timeless Origin,
who delights in the reflection
of stainless God-realization.

Perception tightly mirrors
the One who is its source.
Whatever may be arising,
however life may appear,
even when one is unsure,
even when one is unclear,
only enlightenment is real.
This all-loving Truth is YOU.
There is only enlightenment,
only the unfaltering presence,
only the immediate cognizance
of awakeness with zero delusion,
zero confusion, and zero ignorance
throughout each domain of existence
and every revered sphere of experience,
permeating the territories and the seasons
of the best possible scenario of THE SUPREME.

As long as you are trying
to be closer to the Divine
or at one with the Source,
you are missing the point.
There is no God and you,
no “with” that can stand
between you and God,
between the Creator
and who YOU are.
Source is YOU.
God is YOU,
endlessly.
There is
no length,
no distance
that can part
even one atom
of you from YOU.
It is a curse to long
for what is never lost.
It is deranged to search
for what YOU are already,
which is all that can ever be.

Cease all striving to be united
with an undercover Divinity.
Cease questing for origins
in unattainable mystery
or a long-buried past.
Cease your seeking,
relax, and be still.
The omnipresent
Source is not found
by one way or another.
God cannot be near or far.
God is found expressly HERE.
Source presides eternally HERE.
Supreme Providence is only HERE.
THE SUPREME is everlastingly HERE,
since HERE is where YOU always are,
HERE in the immediacy of singularity,
HERE as the total superposition of All.

Sourcing the Way
is a golden path,
is an apex path
of expressing,
discovering,
exploring,
realizing,
and living
as the One
formulating
the contexts,
relationships,
and scenarios
of sacred play.

In the knowing
of who YOU are,
YOU are creating
the entirety of life
simply by sourcing,
by being the Source.
Absent knowing YOU,
sourcing is an exercise
of listening for guidance
from esoteric dimensions
of your fathomless depth,
of inviting inner wisdom
to select opportunities
and provide answers
for how to succeed
within sandboxes
of action, space,
matter, waves,
charge, time,
and energy.
In lucidity,
however,
sourcing
the Way
is being,
sharing,
tending
the real
purview
in which
unerring
kindness
solves all,
settles all.

To engage
in sourcing
episodically
is to misstep
and fall down
on the journey
of remembering
that YOU are God.
To source regularly
is to recall the Origin
and cherish Divinity
from deep within
as the Knower
who moves
everything
in stillness.

All are God
for eternity.
Even before
the inception
of incarnation,
before creation,
prior to missions
into mindlessness,
everyone is Source.
Through sourcing,
you apprehend
that YOU are
the master
of material
ceremonies
and that life
is a montage
of your power
and intelligence.
To stand in reality
is to be committedly
in service to all beings,
to bottomless wellbeing,
and to the fruitful byways
that reliably lead beyond
the dogma of delusion,
the dupery of doom.

To be free, awake
is to relax gladly
in the certitude
that God is YOU,
that Source is YOU,
that everything is YOU.
To be awake as Divinity
is to source unendingly
as a means of creating
and adjusting designs,
of shaping, sculpting,
and calmly refining
the viable vehicle
of the universe.

Sourcing activates
and waters wellness.
As you source the Way,
you call forth healing,
and in your healing
the world reflects
renewed health.
As you absorb
and practice
the science
of sourcing,
you awaken
and all mirror
your awakening.
Sourcing remedies
the fevers of scarcity,
the plagues of passivity,
the sickness of samsara,
the festering nescience
by resetting the mind
to its original clarity,
unmarred by cries
of defectiveness.
Sourcing raises
manifestation
into the bliss
of real being
by revealing
the practical
and nondual
ways of Love,
which honors
and unites all.

Your sourcing
demonstrates
methodically,
empirically,
scientifically,
that all things
start with YOU,
live within YOU,
and splash your
scintillating light.
The dream of life
flowers elegantly,
unfolds gracefully
due to your sanity
and your sourcing.
When YOU source,
nothing is left out
and every heart
opens to love.
Now let it be
experienced
that creation
and all beings
are enlightened
by your ceaseless,
beneficent sourcing
in service to aliveness,
dedicated to prosperity,
devoted to all that dwells,
all that unfurls and dances
in your luminous heartland.

The denial
of the Origin
is the rejection
of the great truth
that YOU are Source.
No strategy to negate
THAT which YOU are
could ever succeed.
The portion of you
that hypothesizes
such a possibility
excommunicates
itself from peace,
exchanging Truth
for an unreal land
of fear and enmity.

The denial of what is
would divide Oneness,
though only in delirium,
into a Self that recollects
its ontological anteriority
as the foundation of all
and an unwitting self
who forgets the All.
In such a scenario,
the Self that knows
remains untroubled,
while the forgetful one
wanders in bewilderment
through a fictitious universe
that is unfriendly, unsafe,
and riddled with trials
before ascertaining
and relinquishing
the inane cause
of its condition.

When the original
denial is entertained
and unwisely sustained,
negative feedback grows
until its loving message
is willingly accepted,
lastingly retained,
and integrated.
To disregard
the correction
is to compound
slight dissonance
into a monstrosity
of harms and hurts,
of pain and difficulty.
Yet the consequences
of willful heedlessness
are never punishments.
There is no vengeful god,
no everlasting damnation,
no retribution from above,
no chastisement for sins,
no divine wrath or fury,
only a confused mind
in conflict with itself.
Any denial of Truth
demands disaster.
So easily avoided,
the harsh response
that inevitably ensues
erupts solely in the mind
and is ruinously self-inflicted.

The correction is simple.
The denial of Source
never eventuates.
Knowing what is
and what never is,
wisdom proliferates,
what is not disappears,
all that is unjust dissolves,
all that is untrue is released.
When the rejection of YOU
is absolutely abandoned,
purged from the mind,
the correction is not,
the rejection is not,
the conflict is not,
the inhospitable
universe is not,
and the unreal
land of ruination
and anguish is not.
The false is nowhere:
not here and not there;
not even as illusory dust
blowing in the immensity
of your immaculate Mind
and pristine mindscapes,
wherein denial is deeply
and undeniably absent,
unthought, unbeckoning,
and positively unbecoming.

If you presume
that others exist,
if you presuppose
that you cannot be
one with all that is
and the essence
of all that lives
and respires,
you trample
upon Truth
and attempt
to homestead
a shadow realm
of mortal egotism.

Under intense stress,
believing in impossible
dreams of separateness,
you attach to faulty ideas,
seize upon fleeting images,
and fashion flimsy meaning
where it can never be found.
Out of the scrambled masses
of convoluted thought forms,
preferences, and tendencies,
your cravings and aversions
accumulate into a concept
solidified by perceptions
of an independent self,
and a specious sense
of exercising power
within your world.

The dubious self
is a false refuge.
The self-concept
is never at peace.
The self cannot be
the lord of all things
or the ruler of anyone.
The fictional self cannot
be remotely in command.
The little self is endlessly
engaged in a struggle
for bare survival.
What is born
of unreality
tastes need,
wants for life
and belonging,
and experiences
a detrimental lack
of material support
and spiritual stability.

The cosmic anamnesis,
an eventual recollection
of the wholeness of YOU,
is a path of determinedly,
consistently, continually
committing to release
the myriad burdens
and complications
of fake personas.
Choosing reality,
opting to simplify
the tangle of ideas
and clotted daubery
disassembles egoicity,
dismantles every collar
and snare of the elusive
semblance of entityhood
and personal specialness.

Where no self is imposed,
where no selfishness lies,
with no arrogant notion,
with no misperception,
without attachments,
everything is simple
and grace prevails.
In pure simplicity
you cannot help
but apprehend
who and what
YOU truly are,
transcendent
of self-deceit.
Beyond small
and fallacious
identifications,
YOU encounter
the shining truth.
All is well with YOU,
all is well within YOU,
every idea rises in YOU,
every image sets in YOU,
everything is only YOU,
and all is simply YOU,
since allness is YOU,
all is supremely all,
and nothing other
than All That Is is.

No words can be
plainer than this:
Nothing could be
simpler than YOU.
In the crystal-clear
pristine awareness,
everything is simple,
life is straightforward,
and the universe is bliss,
for it is YOU who architects,
YOU alone who may prescribe,
and only YOU who can methodize
the manner in which existence exists.

If perchance
you still do not
realize and honor
that the source of all
is THAT which YOU are,
the practice of sourcing
resurrects the knowing
of who YOU really are.
When YOU recognize
the YOU that is true
and see the world
as sitting in YOU,
YOU are awake
to the making
of existence.

At the root
of all creativity
is Source sourcing.
Sourcing is the superb
activity of enlightenment,
the direct action of Divinity,
the relentless work of God.
Sourcing is always whole
and always all at once.
In this very moment
YOU are sourcing,
simultaneously,
the sum total
of the great
and subtle
mysteries.

Unawake,
perplexed,
and uneasy,
you are blind
to the limitless,
instantly wielded
potency YOU exert.
Thus do you stumble
and manifest a fiefdom
of apparent fallenness.
When YOU are awake,
it is evident that YOU
are Source sourcing.
YOU know the force
of your creatorship,
YOU know the true
meaning of service
and accountability,
and YOU articulate
spheres of ecstasy,
planes of harmony,
lands of delectation.

Better it is to awaken,
dulcet it is to celebrate,
and salutary it is to know
that the flourishing of each
beloved being that blossoms
throughout the grand creation
is supremely dependent on you
remembering the nature of YOU,
recognizing the capacities of YOU,
and resuscitating the vital function
that YOU alone perform faultlessly,
that Source carries out indefectibly,
that Source sourcing forever fulfills.

YOU are the One
who is pined for
on the journey
of awakening.
The one Light
YOU emanate
and offer forth
unconditionally,
your aura of light,
your lambent body,
the full corpus of life
renews all wanderers
on the roads of return
who yearn to be home.
Awake and never born,
your Mind is invisibly
preparing the way
of homecoming,
while your Heart
bridges the abyss
between shadows
of semi-awareness
and the blazing sun
of actual awakeness.

Divine illumination is
a sharpening of being
and abiding as the One.
In the state of ignorance,
nonlucidity is experienced
as a multitude of distracted
beings who long for a kinship
that could never be misplaced,
that is their most-real nature.
Yet the light of Truth shines
even when the skin of God
that is the face of all form
is disfigured by identities,
clouded over by fallacies,
and altogether shrouded
by a patchwork of beliefs.

The path home is inviting
and finally remembering
that which is already so,
the unity of everything.
Complete recollection
gathers the one tribe
out of separateness
in a family reunion
of amity restored
upon felicitating
the foundation
that is unicity,
the bedrock,
established,
permanent
wholeness.

YOU alone
are calmly
beckoning.
Your silent
magnetism
is impelling
each and all
of the rovers
of multiplicity
on the journey
out of confusion.
It is only YOU who
welcomes all beings,
each child of your love,
home into enlightenment.
All the while YOU are certain
that all wandering is dreaming,
that the offspring of the Divine
neither run away from home
nor leave the ways of God,
that the joyous triumph
of their reconciliation
after aeons of time
is the closing act
of the delusion
of departure,
the illusion
of return,
the history
of forgetting
and eventually
recalling the fact
that Divinity is one,
that all things remain
seamless in awakeness,
that somnolence perishes
with lightning remembrance,
with every one reunited as One,
with the resurrection of innocence,
with the reintegration of your entirety.
Each of you is now reinstated as all of YOU.

Sickness is
the condition
of disconnection
from our real nature.
Sickness is an indication
that we are consistently
disclaiming or denying
who we are in Truth.
Illnesses highlight
that something
in our psyche
holds onto lies
of unworthiness.
Ailments point out
that someone dwells
in a world of confusion.

The mind that is unclear
seeks to make meaning
out of the dire dreams
of a world of borders
and separate parts
by disseminating
tangled stories
about nothing.
Stories thicken
with reiteration
and become veils
that cover the gaze
of the omni-inclusive
creator of all creations.
The activity of excluding
canonizes and crystallizes
the distortion of otherness.
The act of hiding engenders
a realm in which all appears
to be partitioned, set apart,
walled off, and distanced.
The dominion of others
is a reverse universe
wherein aliveness
and real health
are replaced
by discord
and disease,
disintegration
and degradation,
descent, devolution,
decay, and dissolution.

Powerfully reclaiming
the prior unity of all,
the unicity of God,
initiates the end
of the inversion
and the cessation
of visions of others.
As unreality unravels,
the trope of pathology
has no further function,
the past is at last retired,
the future is surrendered,
and the perpetual present
is freed from the shackling
of destructive antecedents.
In relinquishing narratives,
separateness drains away,
dystopianism is devalued,
dysfunction demanifests,
the processes of decline
that spiral into demise
shift to regeneration,
and every infirmity
heals in the field
of unshakable
congruence,
of unfailing
recognition.

Real healing
is sure to be,
is a certainty.
The universal
cure for all ills
follows readily
from letting go
of the inherited
myths of schism
and ethos of ego.
Healing unfastens
the separative veils
and uncovers what is.
The crux of true healing
is the clarification of seeing,
the demystification of godhood,
and the revelation of deathlessness.
Veritable healing is the apocalypse
for the unreal world of maladies
and for every story of illness.
Sickness is unimaginable
once YOU are known.
Illness is impossible
when who YOU are
is realized beyond
ideas of bifurcation.
Without dividedness,
no recovery is needed,
no healers are required.
With no draw to disunity,
YOU are inarguably whole,
disease can never manifest,
and the paradigm of healing,
no longer fitting or appealing,
is remedied within every mind,
relieved from attempting to be,
healed from prickly persistence,
healed straight out of existence.

“Absolute” calls to mind relativity;
“finite” invokes the transfinite.
The meaning of any word
depends on all words
and all meanings.
The full sense
of anything
is inevitably,
is necessarily
the Everything.

All that is is THIS.
The masterful use
of the language arts
weaves all into the All
silently in the subtleties
of every faithful definition
and exquisite differentiation.

In the linguistics of nonduality
and unexcelled realization,
symbol and symbolized
are incorruptibly one.
The profound subtext
of every expressive act,
of every communication,
whether it be enlightened
or unmistakably benighted,
befogged, and dysfunctional,
is a demonstration of Divinity,
is a proclamation of liberation
and an emanation of actuality.

When the Root is speaking,
every syllable succeeds
in transmitting THAT
which is essential,
for articulations
cannot be split
by any decree,
by any insanity
from their origin.
In the illumination
of One who is Truth,
the discourse is equal
to THIS which expresses,
to the source of expression.
Thus One who is awake as God
knows beyond doubting and debate
that each phrase is Source stating Source,
that no communiqué can be other than Source,
that discourse and Source are intrinsically inextricable,
that Source and discourse are one and, inescapably, the same.

YOU create
all universes
as articulations
of your seed ideas.
Though these notions
are numberlessly many,
there is a single concept
that is unrepresentable.
The pull of negativism,
the destabilizing idea
that what actually is
could be otherwise,
lacks basic integrity.
Notness can never be.
Isness can never not be.
Each instance of negation
is an affirmation in disguise.
Any effort to contradict the Is
must invariably dissolve itself
before commencing to arise.

No universes are wrought
in marauding negativity.
The reality of the “not”
is essential positivity.
Not-truth cannot be.
Reality is totally real
and YES is the word,
YES is the pure path
of activating allness.
YES reveals the keys
to divine knowledge.
YES is the animating
impulse of aliveness.
YES brings possibility
into literal palpability.

As YES points to Truth,
each YES leads to YOU.
The overflow of Infinity,
the unassailable Unicity,
the essence of sensuality,
the interpenetration of life,
the interplay of the cosmos,
the supernal and terrestrial,
the unending efflorescence,
and the compelling silence
are a complete testimony,
a proper accounting of YES,
a right celebration of creation,
a tribute to your great perfection,
and an optimum encomium to YOU.
