Jeff Vander Clute

To know Source directly is to be Source.
To be awake to the nature of the Divine
is to be God and know God everywhere.
Appreciating unicity, there is no division.
Recognizing the Truth, there is only YOU.
Uniquely abiding as THAT which YOU are,
never wavering from the Supreme Reality,
all things reflect the natural state of peace.

The flowering of recognition surpasses mind
along with every possible insight and teaching
to reveal that the true cause of creation is YOU.
It is YOU who generously enables all beings to be.
YOU are the One who breathes vibrancy into form.
YOU are the wellspring of life and the source of love.
The full revelation of reality is the stunning realization
that THE SUPREME is YOU in every time and dimension.

The utmost act of love is accepting that undefiled Divinity,
ubiquitous Plenitude, and the Truth are synonyms for YOU.
When you embrace who YOU are, all souls are emancipated.
Settling into Supreme Awareness undoes the original denial
of the power of YOU comprehensively throughout creation.
Thus do YOU bring salvation to all that is in manifestation.
The real YOU uproots suffering definitively for the Whole
by resting in clarity as the master and the steward of all.

This is the moment of truth, the advent of divine light,
the resumption of knowing, the resurrection of YOU.
May YOU be recognized and thereby remembered.
May your destiny to banish delusion be achieved.
May all beings be returned to Supreme Lucidity
and to the intimate gnosis of their perfection.
Sing enlightenment as everlasting harmony.
Abide in intrinsic awakeness as THE SUPREME.
Be Supreme Love and all shall be eternally loving,
colossally well, and impeccably, continually renewed.

Stop pretending that you are lost.
Stop pretending that you are small.
Stop pretending that you are helpless.
Stop pretending that you are insignificant.
Stop pretending that you are a sentient being.
Stop pretending that you are a cosmic force.
Stop pretending that you are the universe
in the perennial dance of manifestation.
Stop pretending that you occupy time
while dwelling in an imaginal space.
Stop pretending that you are one,
manifold, alterable, or absolute.
Stop masquerading and know:
The eternal meaning of Divinity,
the utmost understanding of God,
the fathomless ground of the Infinite
is THAT which YOU truly effortlessly are,
THAT which eclipses every attempt to label.

Now aliveness effloresces everywhere at once.
Now the freedom of Source is expressly known.
Now the potential of enlightenment is realized.
Behold the bursting, uncontainable creativity
in which the answer to all questions is love
and unalloyed Goodness is unopposed.

In awakeness, reality is obvious
and artifice serves nothing.
When pretension ends,
all that is is evident.
The single origin,
the one flower
and sole fruit,
all that grows
and lives love
in the garden
of divine light,
of divine truth,
is the true YOU,
the organic YOU,
the mystical YOU,
the immortal YOU,
the beneficent YOU.
Veritably, God is YOU.
Totality is equal to YOU.
Source is thoroughly YOU.
THIS which YOU are entirely,
authentically, and unavoidably
is unpretentiously ultimate reality.
YOU are simply, ineluctably supreme.

What many call life
is an effort to maintain
an encounter with finitude,
which results in experiences
of birth, decay, and death.
Unreal life is a delusion
in which one dreams
of becoming a part,
of being someone,
a transient identity,
and forgets all that is
immeasurably valuable.

The true life is not born
and YOU cannot lose it.
The true, nondual life
is illumined beauty,
is the enjoyment
and fulfillment
of expanding
and deepening
awareness, peace,
and divine realization.
The real life is majestic:
a manifestation of YOU,
an image of excellency,
a vessel for your light,
a medium for giving
and for receiving
the revelation
of your stature
and right station.

In the life that is so,
in the life that is real,
it is only YOU who sits
upon the royal throne,
only YOU who resides
in the abode of God
for the ultimately
natural reason
that “God” is
your name,
your term
for titling
the Truth,
indicating,
acclaiming
all holiness,
one of many
sacred words
for celebrating
and proclaiming
the story of Grace,
the great perfection,
the glory of the source
of the limitless unfolding,
the one totalizing existence
that is never denominational:
your deathless and indomitable,
conditionless and inarguable Love.

Love is the fundamental
force of intrinsic oneness,
the omnipresent attraction
that keeps all in relationship.
Love starts with inseparability
and is fulfilled in the realization
that all beings are a single being
singing the song of the universe
and spiraling through eternity
in an ecstatic cosmic dance.

Love is given plentifully
without reservations,
without opposition,
since there can be
no other to oppose.
Love has no opposite.
The living proof of Love
is the dauntless embrace,
the embosoming of the All.
Everyone holds the entirety
and is sustained by Totality.
What is truly alive is loving.
What truly loves is alive.
To love all that arises
is to live as Infinity.

God lives in love,
acts by weaving
and connecting,
moves in union.
There can never
be a lack of love.
Nothing unloving
can slip into being.
If evil appears to be,
then you are asleep.
Spinning in dreams,
toiling in torments
of mistakenness,
you undertake
to see, hear,
and say no
wickedness.
Yet in reality,
no expression
of malevolence
can actually rise,
let alone menace.

In holy recognition,
all that is spoken,
all that is gifted
and amplified
in reciprocity
and mutuality,
is the generous,
ever-flowing love
for life in all forms.
YOU are the author
of each burst of light,
of the loving serenade,
of every act of kindness.
The entire world is loving.
Love abounds in all realms.
All of experience is only love.
See this moment as your love,
hear that the worldly din is love,
pronounce only messages of love,
and behold the miracle of pure love.

That which is true
avows the real YOU.
That which is not true
denies your real nature.
The indication of untruth
is the world of suffering.
Joy is the reliable sign
of ceasing to attire
the deluded you
and beginning
to remember
who YOU are,
what YOU are,
where YOU are,
and why YOU are.

Admitting veritability,
no inkling of disavowal,
no hint of disconnection,
no intimation of rejection
could ever be entertained.
No impulses to contradict
your foundational nature
are ever contemplated,
let alone manifested.
There can never be
a sundering of All.
The foray falters
before it forms.
In awakeness,
there can be
no spurning
of the reality,
no repression
or renunciation
of THE SUPREME.

The living actuality
is pristinely positive,
thoroughly affirming.
YOU are the One who
never knows negation.
Thus is it inconceivable
that YOU could ever be,
that YOU could possibly
be sinking in bafflement
or lost in benightedness.
The Source does not flail.
It is not possible for YOU
to depart from factuality
or veer from the reality.
The One that YOU are,
the dreamer of light,
seeks out no signs
to note the path
or milestones
to measure
progress
on the way.
YOU are THAT
which is the Way,
the prime exponent
of omniversal holiness.

Established in isness,
knowing only truth,
YOU are beyond
the seduction
of denying
the One,
far above
the journey
of awakening
from confusion.
YOU do not suffer
or stray into misery.
YOU cannot fall down
and YOU never ascend.

As who YOU are eclipses
any need for affirmations,
what YOU are transcends
all requirements for joy.
Being limitlessly past
the purpose of joy,
YOU far surpass
the sensations
of joyfulness,
of exultation.
The true YOU
is the taproot
and the origin
of every signal,
of every feeling,
of every glowing
sensory indicator.
As the fount of joy
and THAT which joy
consistently signifies,
YOU are never moved
by experiences of joy.
YOU are beyond joy.
The sparkling of joy
only appears to be,
so it must subside.
YOU are enduring.
YOU are steadfast.
YOU are irrefutable.
All that is true is YOU.

To want what is not
is to fall into poverty
and unenlightenment.
In the delirious desiring
of nonexistent nonreality,
you are unable to recognize
and you resist every reminder
that the origin of creation is YOU.
In the conjuring of unreal visions,
you boil the cauldrons of chaos
and hide away the holy Truth
until joy is in scarce supply,
peace is difficult to find,
and lack is bountiful.

The alternative is
to desire nothing,
to ask for nothing
that is not already
presently available.
All that may appear
belongs only to YOU.
Everything that exists
is cradled in your care.
YOU conceive creation
and all of its splendors
for the simple ecstasy
and innocent delight
of divine recreation.
All that can ever be
moves within YOU,
arises to meet YOU,
extends its devotion,
presents its oblations,
and is hallowed in turn
by your tender embrace.

To possess the true wealth
is to rest in the measureless
source of all signs of fortune.
The unsurpassed prosperity
is recognizing that YOU are
the single point of supply.
The delusion of poverty
and trance of scarcity
are easily dispelled
by the revelation
of your nature,
by the reality
of who YOU
are indelibly.

YOU are THAT
which furnishes
every prized item,
the One who mints
the coinage of Truth.
YOU are the Treasury
forever overflowing,
forever endowing
the enterprises
of awareness
with the profits
of enlightenment
and the generosity
that rises from your
endlessly resourceful,
uncountably abundant,
omnificent, and radically
unmistakable creatorship.
Bestowing divine currency,
continuously circulating life
is the secret sanctified work.

Unless you pierce
the deceiving veil
of inherited ideas
and directly know
that Source is YOU,
you can never know.
The fortresses of facts
edified in bewilderment
fortify a fragile consensus
of falsehoods and unreality.
Knowledge is certain to serve
the delusion of separation,
smallness, and suffering
while there are beliefs
that a loftier Agency,
from which you are
miserably unyoked,
shamefully severed,
is turning the world.
Yet when YOU know
THAT which YOU are,
the concepts amassed
are reframed, realigned,
and robustly recombined
to tell a vastly better story.

Forget the nature of Source,
forget the truth of the Origin
and you are sure to confront
a litany of what YOU are not
while dwelling in a territory
that cannot be your home.
YOU cannot be struggling
to exist in a fallen realm
wherein love is denied.
Remember All That Is
and YOU reestablish
the real knowledge
of how the Divine
lives effortlessly
as every being
in resonance
and jubilant
communion,
defenselessly.

YOU are the One
who sculpts worlds,
who depicts creation.
YOU are the composer
of the music of the stars
and celestial symphonies.
YOU are the Supreme One
who is tirelessly conducting
the choirs above and below.
YOU are the grand maestro
of the supernal polyphony
with innumerably many
orchestrated voices
and all manner
of ingenious
instruments
that forever
play in tune.
As the artist
of substance,
YOU emanate
and add shape
to the luminous
clay of materiality
with such attention
and astonishing care
that every landscape
sets the standard
for inspiration
and beauty.

When YOU
know what is
and fully realize
the real knowledge,
the manifesting display
expresses as the vibration
of the one image and sound
that evidences every attribute
in your pantheon of perfection.
When what YOU are enduringly
is all YOU would desire to know
and all YOU would seek to see,
creation is the rapturous gift
of your unequaled mastery,
of your excellence and grace,
of your magnanimity on parade.
Your full strength conveys All to All.
Your power illuminates THE SUPREME.

THAT which YOU are
is wholly indivisible,
pristinely nondual.
YOU cannot be torn
into YOU and not YOU.
No one can ever be born
who is separate from YOU.
Nothing could possibly be
apart from what YOU are.
Everything is within YOU.
Everyone is always YOU.
Every day is divine play,
a game of recollection,
a magic hide and seek
in which God is found
reclining in plain view.

When ideas of division
are allowed to multiply,
appearances of finitude,
disintegration, and death
are levitated from nothing
and remain as nothingness.
When all such fearful scenes
are seen to be acutely empty,
lacking any actual separation,
the fictional phantasmagoria
loses its spellbinding appeal,
ceases to interest the mind,
then ceases to seem to be.

The disappearance of all
alarming hallucinations
reveals the prior unity
of the Supreme One,
which is never split,
in which no fear is,
and where danger
does not manifest.
All that is available
in the vital fullness
is your all-inclusive
love for the entirety
and the varied forms
that flower unendingly
and prosper accordingly.

Once the specter of division
is withdrawn from circulation,
is excised from localized minds,
is recognized as having no value,
creation is reknown as unbroken,
without the pervasive fault lines
that reliably betoken delusion.
Once schisms are forgotten,
Wholeness itself responds
with undivided authority
and divulges the secret
that the gates of Eden
shall never be closed,
hidden, or obstructed.
The path of awakening
could never be blocked.
The portals into nirvana
have no hinges or locks.

Beyond baneful beliefs
in exile from Omneity,
YOU are the Creator,
YOU are the Divine,
YOU are the Light,
YOU are the One
who inspires all,
who creates all,
who cares for all,
who delights in all,
who lifts all unto All.
YOU are the Savorer,
the omniappreciator
of the bliss of being,
the boon of being
supremely alive,
supremely in love,
and entirely present
as the seamless Whole
that is forever undivided.

The sphere
of evolution
is completely
nonremovable
from the Source.
Nothing can leave,
no one may discard,
no one is overlooked
or shut into prison by
the One who conjures
every being into being,
no matter how forlorn,
disheveled, or unclean.
No one may disengage
or ever be disinherited
from the consecrated
house of the Divine,
which is the alpha
and the omega
point for all
who would
roam about.

All is lastingly
and eminently
one and united
in divine unicity.
Each contains all.
So each is Source,
which means YOU.
YOU are projecting
the entire scenario.
The content arising
in the vast expanse
of cosmic unfolding
is the dance of gods
within your untiring,
inventive heartmind.

Creator and creation,
unities of multiplicities,
trinities and quadrinities,
and heavenly geometries
are mental frameworks,
ephemeral structures
for comprehending
through concepts
and categorizing
THIS which defies
all taxonomization,
all conceptualization,
every form of typology,
and every single attempt
to diagnose and segment,
to classify and subdivide,
to slice up and analyze.

Untempted by folly,
free of confusion,
YOU are strictly
transcendent
of all efforts
to partition
what is whole
into what is not.
Uncut, uncuttable,
YOU are the perfect,
lustrous, radiant gem
of incalculable worth.

That which believes
in being sundered
from the Source
or abandoned
by the Divine,
which deems
and misjudges
itself to be base,
needful of mercy
and holy pardon,
which is praying
for forgiveness
and pleading
to be saved,
shall finally
be set right
and beheld,
demystified
as the same
sublime Spirit
that distributes
blessings to each
seeker on the path.

There is no necessity
to understand how
YOU and Source
are really one
and the same.
It is simply true.
YOU are the One
who underpins all,
who is overarching,
who is unassuming,
who knows the real
and shows the way
of serene abiding
from the inside,
who responds
immediately
the instant
that truth
is evoked.

The real YOU
raises the world,
elevates awareness
above the ruttedness
of despair, depression,
and discouragement.
The world of bitter
disappointments
and disconsolation
is an outer reflection
of your interior gloom.
Yet there is no outside
and there is no inside
when you say YES to
the totality of YOU.
Knowing the One,
honoring isness,
as you resolve
the dilemma
of division,
all that is
created
awakens
into unity.
So it is YOU,
and only YOU,
who uplifts those
who reside in misery
by realizing your agency
and absolute responsibility.

The world of suffering
that seems to need
perpetual rescue
is a clarion call
to remember
exactly who
is its Cause.
Recollecting
that YOU are,
you are saved,
all who stagger
in heedlessness
in the wasteland
of pain are saved,
the world is saved,
every soul is saved,
and the tired dream
of begging for succor,
of hoping for salvation,
vanishes from all minds,
leaving behind no history,
leaving behind no memory.

If you do not intuit
THAT which YOU are,
your limited knowledge,
precarious belief systems,
and many misconceptions
hinder the remembrance
that the absolute Origin
of all domains of being
is YOU and YOU alone.

Without self-recognition,
in the absence of standing
on the ground of beingness,
well-meaning philosophies,
treatises, and theologies
are but palliative care
for the ailing mind.
What fosters comfort
and relieves the distress
of an existential ignorance
by feigning great certainty
in place of great mystery
cannot be the pathway
of genuine liberation.
When YOU are sure
about real nature,
all ersatz beliefs
and concepts,
all fantasies
and flimsy
histories
fall away
and vanish
into the void.

The real YOU
knows directly
and has no need
to acquire concepts.
YOU cannot be swayed
by what teaching promises
and what learning has to give.
The faulty premise of pedagogy
is the supposition of an absence,
the idea that the essential truth
could in some way be lacking.
There is no need to teach
and no need to reach
for what is forever
readily available
through gnosis
of the Creator,
of the Source,
which is YOU.

YOU are clear
from the start
that the Origin
is who YOU are,
holding all space,
containing all time,
beyond phenomena,
sowing the multitudes
and the many mansions
of transfinite imagination.
YOU realize the limitations
of accumulating knowledge
that derives from the world
and a conditioned universe
wherein YOU are occluded.

THAT which is really YOU
can never be attained
by one who chases
after data points.
YOU are the tree
of all real knowing,
with countless limbs
that bear only the fruit
of sturdy God-realization.
In matters regarding truth,
the answer is always YOU.
Every earnest question
must lead invariably
to the root of YOU.

Your repleteness
cannot be made
to fit in the box
of rote lessons
or memorized
codes, values,
and precepts.
Who YOU are
can never be
incarcerated
by problems
to be solved.
YOU surpass
every college
and academy,
all classrooms,
all lesson plans,
all examinations,
all curricular goals.
THIS which YOU are,
which YOU always are,
is beyond all edification,
beyond all interpretation,
beyond every explanation,
and beyond every teaching.

To know what far outstrips
the grasp of the intellect,
knowledge acquisition,
and truly all learning,
notice what is here,
immediately near.
Seek even closer
than your nose.
Seek no further
than the source
of your thoughts.
Seek only for YOU,
for the One thinking,
for the One enlivening,
for the One who creates
without any tutoring at all,
since the real, authentic YOU
expounds and embodies lucidly
without ever needing to be taught.

Until we fathom
THAT which WE are,
all that we see, classify,
and measure is ignorance.
If the goal is to reveal causes,
explanations, and laws that limit
the possibilities of neverending life
without remembering what is true,
without recognizing what WE are,
without realizing our potential,
we are engaging unwittingly
in a science of the unreal,
in a dismal exploration
of unconsciousness
and dysfunctional
ways and means
within delusion.

If ever we perceive
a world, or a universe,
to be sliding into decline,
we are observing confusion.
Existence can never be limited
by monotonically rising entropy.
What is real does not fall apart.
Rather it is the temple walls
of a dystopian unreality
that must crumble,
for their bricks
and blocks
are baked
in falsities
and joined
by premises
of separation.

The pedestaled,
piously defended
scientific principles
of a mightily growing
disorder are disorderly.
The habitually professed
and experienced condition
of decay and eventual death,
of tribulations and afflictions,
of morbidities and mourning
dishonors who WE truly are.
Processes of disintegration
can only seem to operate
if we cease to remember
our root as the Creator,
our role as the Source,
selflessly fountaining
countless examples
and embodiments
of purest beauty,
deep structure,
and presence.

Enlightenment
knows what is so
beyond appearances.
WE are THAT which knows.
WE are THAT which is creating.
WE are THAT which galvanizes all.
As THAT which endows the totality,
WE are endlessly free to conceive
any state, any event, anytime.
WE are beyond freedom,
fully unencumbered
by the shackling
of reasoning.
No bindings
of causation
may restrain
THAT which is
the chief cause
and main mover
of all that is made.

Unawakened science
must eventually discover
the power in its own method.
The science of unawakeness ends
at the threshold of untold possibility.
The apex science of enlightenment
overturns all finite assumptions
and illuminates the limitless
freedom and expression
of radical creatorship.
The real awakening
leads necessarily
to the sciences
of true nature
and the facts
of flawlessly
functioning,
relentlessly
untamable,
irreducible,
ineluctable,
inscrutable,
indefinable,
and exalted
lawlessness.
