Circle of Life

Touched from the inside
when I look in your eyes
suddenly I become blind
and see with my heart
what a bright spark
shining like a star

I See you and laugh...
and again touched in the Heart!
The One seeing the One
Unending circle of Life

Délivrée... (Wave of Inspiration 3)

Je ne peux m'arrêter

des que je pose ma tête sur l'oreiller

je l'entends chanter

tous ces hymnes colorés

je n'ai de pensée

ces mots

coulent à flots

tel des hymnes libérés

de voix je n'ai pas

mais j'emboîte le pas

de ce qui s'écrit

mais jamais ne se dit

non je ne sais pas

comment ni pourquoi

j'entre dans la danse

et tout prend un sens

des lettres s'accolent

des mots alors se forment

quel beau procédé

que celui de créer

ne rien y comprendre

le laisser filer

quand vient la suivante

juste la laisser s'échapper

encore et encore

sans en voir le corps

et le résultat,

ça n'en parlons pas

qui en jugera?

il n'y a que moi!!

un dans le décor

marchant sur le bord

tombera, tombera pas

... mais qui sera là?

Revealed... (Wave of Inspiration 2)

Lightening in my eyes

In the dark night

Stars in the sky

On the black background

Painting on the shore

Of the beach of love

Here I am I fly like a dove

And when the wind blows

As a feather I flow

Nothing to compare

This feeling inside

I go, I depart

But never leave the start

Here I am, full and empty in the core

No room to want more

The speaker found its door

Resting in the Heart

Its voice quiets down

Quiet peace

Meets

Peaceful stilness

Here I am your Altess

Waves of Inspiration 1

Dans le noir de la nuit

Mes yeux ne voient point

Ils sont aveugles

Mais mon Coeur, lui, sait

Il parle pour trois

Le Père, le Fils et le Saint-Esprit

La sainte trinité..

L’aimé, l’aimant et ce qui est aimé

À jamais inséparé

Il parle de toi, le bien-aimé

Tant recherché

Il parle de moi, qui voit mais ne dit pas

Car de mot il n’a pas

Ce silence si intense

Parle bien plus fort

Que la sirène la plus forte d’un bateau quittant le port

Et simplement, il est là

Rien, non, il n’est besoin de rien faire

Le repos bien mérité

Du guerrier fatigué

La toile blanche du drapeau

Frappée par le vent

Chante doucement

Le chant de la Paix

Tout est là

Rien de plus

Plénitude immense

Vide de tout sens

La Vie, pas à pas

Qui de l’au-delà

Ne sait juste pas...

Découverte

Recouverte

Étiquette

Décollée

Le paradoxe permanent

De l’impermanence incessante

Incontrôlée, incontrôlable

Insensée, inlassable

L’éternité

Qui de tout temps

N’a cessé d’être,

Tout simplement, le Moment Présent

Quelle belle pièce!

The Life of The Buddha

Here's a great documentary we watched the other night about the life of Buddha, followed by a talk that David Hoffmeister gave ABOUT the movie. I highly recommend both if Enlightenment is a subject that interests you, as David goes into great depth about how Enlightenment can be experienced, as well as the relationship between Buddhism and A Course in Miracles.

Enjoy!

David H. Video Hangout with Erik

I just finished editing a video from a Google Hangout this morning in which a friend and I watched a couple David Hoffmeister videos together.  We watched a video of David's called "The Highest State of Mind - I Don't Know" and a second called: "Letting Go Of The Human Condition".  After the Hangout was over, I realized that the videos we watched didn't show up in the Hangout recording as I had hoped, so I just went through and added annotated links which will take you to the videos in YouTube (you'll see what I mean when you get to those parts of the video).

Click here to enjoy the videos and discussion!

Love you,
Erik

David H. Discussion Hangout

In this Hangout, I was planning to show a video of David Hoffmeister speaking about how the ultimate state of Enlightenment is a state of not knowing anything about this world (here's the link to the actual video if you're interested: http://youtu.be/cSdmufSChGs), but it turned out that Spirit had a different plan!  The YouTube application wasn't working in the Google Hangout, so instead we just had a nice chat about these ideas from A Course in Miracles.  Enjoy...

Only Love

Only Love - a song written by Armelle and Erik Archbold

Only Love.  Only Love.  Only Love.
Only Love.  Only Love.
There is only Love.

The past is gone, and I have been so mistaken in everything I saw.
Nothing was real.

The past is gone, and all has been forgiven.  It all has been...
my imagination.

Only Love.  Only Love.  Only Love.
Only Love.  Only Love.
There is only Love.

The past is gone.  No more future.  Time and space disappear.
It was just a dream.

Here or there.  In or out.  It's all the same.
No more barriers.

Only Love.  Only Love.  Only Love.
Only Love.  Only Love.
There is only Love.

You and me.  Up and down.  They all collapse.
There is only One.

You and me.  Me and you.  It's over Now.
There is only One.

Only One.  Only One.  Only One.
Only One.  Only One
There is only One.

Only Love.  Only Love.  Only Love.
Only Love.  Only Love.  Only Love.
Only Love.  Only Love.  Only Love.
Only Love.  Only Love.  Only Love.
There is only Love.

I love you.

UN-spiritual Hangout with Erik, Part 2

I'm learning a lot (or UN-learning a lot, to be more accurate) from doing these online Google Hangouts, and noticing where the ego still seems to have a hold on my mind.  Old beliefs about how I want to be perceived by others, or how I "should" communicate with others have been getting flushed up through these daily interactions I'm now having with other Course in Miracles students, and I'm just so very grateful for it all.  Every opportunity to notice when and how I am still "triggered" by anything that seems to happen in the world is an opportunity to go deeper into the unlearning process that leads to the Natural State of Enlightenment.

Here is the recording from "UN-spiritual Hangout with Erik, Part 2".  May it be Helpful for you as well...

"UN-spiritual" Hangout with Erik

Here is the 4-hour recording of a Google Hangout I hosted the other day, which I called "UN-spiritual Hangout with Erik".  Here was the original description I posted in the invitation for the event:

<<
One of the primary ego defense mechanisms that has been getting flushed up for me lately is this belief in "spiritual specialness"; the idea that "I am more spiritually advanced than others" or even it's opposite: that I am LESS spiritually advanced than others. But both are merely egoic ways of perceiving which block the awareness of our Perfect Equality as innocent Children of God.

Join me for a laid-back time of simply being together, exposing our "spiritual specialness" thoughts, and giving ourselves permission to be totally "UN-spiritual" together!

Love you!
Erik
>>

The actual session ended up being quite interesting, and it actually lasted 4 hours!  The first hour was full of "lively" conversation and a good opportunity to watch the "I know" mind in action.  Gradually though, the Hangout evolved into a deeper one-on-one exploration with my friend, Blake, about how to practically apply the Course's principles to one's experience of the everyday world.

Following Guidance as a Means of Healing Unworthiness

"God's Will for me is Perfect Happiness" is a beautiful reminder from A Course in Miracles (ACIM). If taken to heart, this idea can open up our willingness to listen to and follow His Plan for our Happiness, as opposed to the ego's plan. All fear comes solely from trying to follow our ego's plans, yet the Holy Spirit is ever-present to offer us the Real Alternative. Whatever we seem to need - be it a thought, a word, or a specific action to take - it will always be Given through our willingness to hear only One Voice. Then, through following His Guidance, our belief in unworthiness is gradually washed away in the river of His Love... until ultimately, we are aware of nothing else!

This video clip was taken from a recent ACIM gathering in Cowichan Bay, B.C., Canada, early this month.

  

Erik's story of following Guidance

In this clip, I share a bit about the leaving my hypnotherapy career in 2009 to devote myself purely to Awakening, about marrying Armelle and how that unfolded, etc.. This was filmed at a gathering with Armelle in Belgium, in December 2012, in which I was there via video-Skyped.  Enjoy...
