Meditation Poem: The Journey is the Goal

Scott Robinson // July 31st, 2024

In a moment of summer warmth
I breathe the clean clear night
Footprints of forgotten days
Shine bright internal Light

 

Feeling my body walk
Each step feeling the Earth
Through the dance of my life
I see a new world birth

 

Days upon days of seeing
Reading from sign to sign
The quest for untainted truth
To Source and divine

 

So onward I move
High I hold my soul
And in the end I find
The journey is the goal

 

 

Meditation Poem: On Course

Scott Robinson // June 30th, 2024

You are here for a brief moment

You are here with the blink of an eye

You are here incarnate

You are here to learn

Balance is achieved by
falling off both ends first

Receive the teachings of manifestation

Remember the truth
….you are Spirit First

Understand the analyzer-mind’s
obsession with control

You as Spirit are meant to be
the authority in your space

Own it

You are the captain
of your ship
of your reality

A captain with loving authority

Humility with others
is your true nature

Move the analyzer-mind off the helm

Set your compass

Claim your Spiritual authority

Stay on course

Navigate around the rocks

Be the transcendent being
that you truly are

And in the end

when all the storms are behind you

In the end
when the light of dawn
glows on the horizon

In the end
when the end is in sight

In the end

You know

It has all been for one reason

To reach the destination
of Sacred Light

 

 

Being in Balance

Scott Robinson // June 30th, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘Navigation,’ by Scott Robinson

Being in balance is a spiritual choice.

We can choose sustainability. We can choose a more holistic way of living. We can choose to be in harmony with each other and the earth. We can shift our value system.

I’m not talking about reverting to a pre-industrial society. I believe in the gifts of technology. I’m just saying to use them consciously. I’m saying be aware of the addictive quality of products, and make conscious choices about how to use them.

As a spiritual warrior, aim to bring spiritual awareness to every decision. Is it of the highest integrity for all of humanity and the planet?

Choose the path of balance.

The Joy of Being Here

Scott Robinson // May 31st, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey Is The Goal’, by Scott Robinson

Can you have this moment? Can you enjoy your life? If not what are you waiting for? When you truly move into an experience of the present moment, you naturally move into a state of bliss. You are not comparing the moment to any future event, any past event; it is whole and rich and everything. Ultimately we realize that past and future don’t even really exist. The moment is all there is and in every moment there are transcendent wonders and deep learning. All we have to do is to make the choice of truly being there and experiencing it.

Meditation Poetry: Flowing Gold

Scott Robinson // May 31st, 2024

 

I meditate in flowing gold

I walk in flowing gold

I work in flowing gold

I sleep in flowing gold

I wash the dishes in flowing gold

I love in flowing gold

The multiverse was designed for you to live in golden Source energy

But often you choose lower frequencies

Often you choose dark greys

The programming says you don’t deserve such Light
that your lot
is to live in a low vibrational reality

This is not true

You are a spark of Source

Imbued with its energy

You are unlimited by nature

You are powerful beyond measure

So release the old messages

Let go of the old wounds

And become the bright being you are meant to be

And live in flowing gold

 

 

Present Time Renewal

Scott Robinson // April 30th, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey Is The Goal’, by Scott Robinson

Doing your spiritual healing is always a process of updating. You must be in present time with it because you are not the same person you were a few weeks ago. It requires examining where you are right now, remembering your path, and having the intention to be in present time with your process. Every time you do a meditation, you shift your energy and it will change your reality to some degree. When you are actively meditating, you change quickly.

Meditation Poem: With a Flash

Scott Robinson // April 30th, 2024

Petals reach to the sky
Roots push to the depths
Particles vibrate and spring to life

Forces beyond time create…what is
Celebration in every moment
Then with a flash it is gone

Gone back to whence it came
Back to pristine Source

Back to nothingness, pure potential, ready to be born again

The ebb and flow
Waves upon waves
The circle goes around and around
No beginning no end

The rise and fall of lands…peoples…faiths, realities
Only change stays constant
Only creation and destruction remain

 

 

Meditation Poem: Homecoming

Scott Robinson // March 31st, 2024

The release
The seed cast into pure possibility
The birth
The creation of an individual consciousness

From the one, comes the many
The many, made up of the one

We are not “like” Light
We are Light

Even Brighter than Light…
It is our nature,
It burns within everyone of us

And us…is the all

Forgetting this, creates the greatest sadness there is
Forgetting this, creates the descent
Forgetting this, is the dark part of the journey
We exist to push the boundaries of consciousness…in all ways

Even in the dark

But the dark it is not forever

We “do” remember

The fog lifts and there is clarity

The vision is far

The memory is sweet

It is the beginning of the end

All will return home
All will return to Light
All return to Light beyond Light

Spiritual warrior “know” where you are

And know you will not be there forever

The awakening

The remembering

The healing

The homecoming

 

 

Finding the New Way

Scott Robinson // March 31st, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey is the Goal,’ by Scott Robinson

You need to help your body adjust to the idea it is OK to go into the unknown because there are a lot of places it will not comprehend. This is when faith comes in and plays a big role in the journey. Bodies do not have faith; spiritual beings do. Bodies want the hard facts. You have to consciously choose and convince your body to give you, the Spirit, the time and freedom to move forward. “I don’t know what my new reality is going to be because I am not there yet, but I know it is OK to let go of these pieces because I don’t want to live them anymore.” The more you touch into yourself as Spirit, the more you touch into Source, and the more faith you have.

Finding Balance with Consciousness

Scott Robinson // February 29th, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey is the Goal,’ by Scott Robinson

When you start to balance Spirit and body, you begin to realize that every moment and act is valid. Deep spiritual work and house-cleaning are of equal significance if you can be present, as Spirit, for them both. Nothing battles the other. Nothing tries to erase the other. Every act is a conscious act. When you tune into this concept, you begin to see it is possible to be spiritually conscious of virtually everything going on in your life. It is not that hard. You might think it would be too complicated, but you start to notice where everything is on an energy level and how it fits together.

A Point of Power

Scott Robinson // February 29th, 2024

Washed and tumbled in relentless fragility
The balance of strength
The net of time
The web of continuity
And a gasp of life

The point of entry
The art of departure
Hang under a primal sky
Like a rain drop in flight
On an embryonic night

A point of power
A source of life
A fledgling love
In a passionate embrace of Light

Cells divide
The day breaks
And the Earth cracks its stony crust
In the beginning…

 

 

Meditation Poetry: Yet it Does

Scott Robinson // January 31st, 2024

 

The wake-up
step-by-step

 

The journey
step-by-step

 

The healing
step-by-step

 

The transcendence
step-by-step

 

I cannot see
the tree grow
and yet it does

 

I cannot see
the mountain rise
and yet it does

 

I cannot see
the planet spin
and yet it does

 

I cannot see
the sun shine at night
and yet it does

 

I cannot see
Source creating the multiverse
and yet it does

 

I cannot see
my faith guiding my steps
and yet it does

 

Ease Creates Ease

Scott Robinson // January 31st, 2024

An edited excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey is the Goal’, by Scott Robinson

Spirit exists in a state of ease. It is the body that does effort. In order to create consciously and live from a place of Spirit, it helps greatly if you are in a state of ease. Ease is also very helpful in being in the state of spiritual seniority, working from a place of Spirit. Effort limits spiritual awareness. It is difficult to create consciously if you are in a state of effort because effort will limit your energy flow and power. Working through a body that is in effort is not much fun and at times can be brutal. Spiritual beings do ease very well. It is your nature. It is the true nature of each of us. Creating from ease is amazingly unlimited.

Scott Robinson is the founder and spiritual director of Lightwork Spiritual Development, based on Gambier Island, B.C. For more than 30 years, Scott’s spiritual evolution has been his life focus, along with helping others discover themselves as spiritual beings.

Even in earlier stages of his life Scott lived outside the confines of mainstream society as a hippie kid, musician, video artist, photographer, poet and world traveller. Spiritually aware from childhood, he could see energy, and he knew there was a bigger picture than the material pursuits of life.

His spiritual purpose took shape in his early twenties when he discovered a meditation style that was an immediate fit. He dove deeply into spiritual studies, deepening his clairvoyant abilities and learning the art of self-healing.

Scott is constantly pushing the boundaries of spiritual knowledge. Through teaching, writing and photography, he empowers others to become conscious, bright spiritual beings on the path to freedom.

Without even being able to describe how, she shifted perceptions in all parts of her life and began making decisions that decreased stress. Encouraged, she thought she would keep meditating until it no longer felt like a fit. That day never came. She’s now a committed Lightwork practitioner and teacher.

Throughout her healing journey Darci has witnessed how meditation has the power to shift tough situations and heal what needs healing.

Her favorite thing about being a Lightwork teacher is the simplicity and presence of being in the moment. The big and small of the universe come into focus and make room for significant awareness and healing.
