Singing Songs of Declaration

Embodying the storylines of all encountering souls

Created by Author using Chad Goopta

I called to the winds, asking, “What shall I write about? Shall I tell a story? Poetic or merely prose?” As the candle was lit, an alarm above me sounded.

Yet again, I shall walk into the darkness, bringing light to a darkened area.

Lighting a sacred flame — opening my heart’s pathway to inner knowing — passing through the pain and doubt, left unattended as I gathered stones from my daily walks. Pilgrim’s passerby’s — like leaving chemical trails on my soul — infusing their doubted knowing with my own.

Whose thoughts are these? Mine or neighboring souls? Matters not — as I dive into the suffering trails of existing thoughts. Wounds are exposing flesh — raw, vulnerable, questioning everything in site, acknowledging and accepting all voices of despair as my own.

With Tara’s Healing Incense burning — fleeting thoughts embracing a greater knowing of All There Is, welcoming all thoughts as my own.

Healing begins with knowing — existing beliefs and illusory thoughts transpiring aberration into a new normal, as the parables and allegories present — leaving others to challenge or discard these new frequencies — energetic realities short-circuiting the normally scheduled programming.

Time

Over time — infused thought unknown becoming known — I witness a shift in those no longer waiting for the second coming. It is here — the now — assuredly Stepping Into The Canvas — uncertainty and aberration embodied truths unfolding.

I plead with the suffering — make it stop! But the pain continues.

Accepting the pain-bodies message clear — learning the songs of ancient healing true — integrating past, present and future tense messages. Deep, from the valleys of death — throat-singing begins — infused with a bi-tonal sound not yet heard on this physical plain.

From the depths of the underworld’s lost souls — capturing the hearts of angelic songs — our story of generational, collective healing cries is told. Left for interpretation — on the page of another’s heart — I smile in great delight, for this is why I am here.

From I to we — as in third person form* — embodying the storylines of all encountering souls. Singing songs of declaration — Ani Po — Oljita is I, and we are the All — I am healed*.

Labeling this as fiction, but “it happened to me,” believe it or not embodying message left for interpretation, with a twist of poetic prose. Entering a healing space filled with darkness, leaving me drained and in need of recharge for three days time.

When asked why do I go there, I reply, “because not many are willing to enter the underworlds of reality, and I am honored to go to the depths — bringing light to our darkest areas of thought.

*From I to we, with asterisk in place, depicting self as a greater body of being. Oljita is a name of the person I become, when entering other realms of reality. Oljita and I, fused as one, declaring Ani Po for all to be.


Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder, and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and, more importantly, the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.

Where the Roads Become One


Where the Roads Become One

The Seam Between Flesh and Spirit

Created by Author using Chad Goopta

Two paths rise before us — one winding, one narrow — yet neither claims a throne. Each is a whisper of the same ancient breath.

We wander through teachings — voices calling out their chosen Way, yet Love alone remains unmoved — quiet compass beneath all noise.

A void lives within us, not broken, not lacking — merely waiting for the soft weight of Love to settle into its center. And when Love enters — roads unfolding without judgment: the Pilgrim’s long, trembling climb, the Warrior’s sudden acceptance. Different rhythms, same horizon.

A black cat crosses the veil, eyes locking with ours — and the world shifts. Past and future braid together, showing us that Paradise is not earned, not won — not bargained for.

It is simply stepped into.

Some walk the winding road, learning through storms and stones. Some choosing the narrow line — seam between flesh and Spirit. Neither is wrong. Neither is right. Yet, Both are true.

Paradise is not distant.
Hell is not a punishment.
Heaven is not a prize.
Merely states of mind — being — remembering.

Change the way we see this Earth — Paradise appears.

So we step into the Canvas, balanced between worlds, carrying Love like a lantern. Inspired, inspiring, In Spirit.

And the Way reveals itself not as a choice, but as a presence.

It simply is.

~ Ani Po


With so many groups telling us which Way to go or how to live a peaceful life, it becomes easy to grow confused or second‑guess our own belief systems. One group proclaims theirs is the Way, while another wages war on the next because their Way must be followed. The way that is spoken, may not be The Way.

Within each and every one of us, there is a void waiting to be filled.

When we fill this void with Love, all other teachings fall short of what matters most…Love one another as you wish to be Loved. With that, we visit our good friend Oljita, who learns firsthand that there are many pathways to Paradise. While many hold valuable lessons along the Way, they are not always the easiest paths. The easiest path is often dismissed as unrealistic.

Oljita is visited by another messenger while driving to work…

He notices a black cat on the opposite side of the median. As it scampers across the road, it pauses at the boulevard and disappears briefly. Slowing cautiously, he watches other cars pass the place where the cat was last seen.

Thinking he is in the clear, Oljita accelerates — yet the cat reappears. Dashing across the road, it stops directly in front of his truck. When their eyes lock, Oljita finds himself Shifting into another realm…Shifting into the past.

He lands upon the Pilgrim’s path. Very familiar to him, he knows this path leads to Paradise through trials and tribulations. Learning that a positive mind leads to positive thoughts, which lead to positive words and actions…ultimately shaping a positive being in Paradise. While it promises a happy ending, this path carries the Pilgrim down a bumpy, winding road.

He then shifts ahead in time to the path of the Warrior. While the Pilgrim’s path eventually leads to the Warrior, the transition is not smooth. The Warrior’s path is not followed like the Pilgrim’s but merely accepted. The lesson: the Warrior’s path can be attained simply by accepting a path of Love.

Two paths, same outcome. One long and winding, the other short and narrow. The short and narrow path is the thin line between both worlds: flesh and Spirit.

Oljita returns to his truck and immediately looks for the Black Cat…only to find it vanished. Where did this messenger go?

Though the messenger appeared briefly, the message was clear: we need not do anything to enter Paradise. While one path leads down a bumpy, winding road, the other offers a short, narrow passage. Though there is a heavenly paradise beyond this realm, we can live in Paradise on Earth. Heaven and Hell are no longer a destination but a state of mind .

Change our ideas about this place we call Earth…and behold Paradise.

Stepping into the Canvas, walking a Narrow path between flesh and Spirit. Though the path is Narrow, the road is vast. In this vastness, we find our Way…we find balance. The Way carries Love in our Hearts, and we instinctively walk in Spirit. To be In Spirit is to be inspired. To be inspired is to be inspiring.

This is The Way.


Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder, and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and, more importantly, the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.
