Poems
Love Letters to God
Gayle Gregory began writing these poems, or rather they began to be written through her, while attending spiritual intensives with her teacher, Elle Collier Re, in December 2004. The latest poem was written
March 2007. They are in chronological order and are a testiment to the mind’s ability to quickly and deftly
counter any breakthrough threatening its survival and the Heart’s deep and abiding presence and absolute support regardless of mind’s shennanigans. They speak to the depth and breadth of her spiritual journey and are an open invitation to any one willing to dive into a deeper understanding of the Godmind within.

Love Letters to God Volume II

This sequel to “Love Letter to God, Poems from the Heart”, consists of writings from April through December 2007. The Heart’s Win, the prominence of delirious YES is evident. These poems speak to the continued journey, the pure ecstasy of falling so deeply into Love that no desire for escape survives.

Poking Around in Fear
"It is our sense of a separate self, a self requiring protection that creates all the problems in our worlds.  It is what makes us anxious or depressed.  It is what makes us feel just plain bad.  But more importantly, it is what stops us from realizing our full potential, our true brilliance."

Don't Worry...Be Happy
"The Amish taught us a beautiful lesson this month.  They lost their own most innocent members and even amidst the pain accepted both their children’s killer and the killer’s family.  They let go of their minds’ ideas of how it should be and stepped into the flow of what was.  With that movement forgiveness was possible.   What is interesting to note is that with that action, the Amish set their own healing into motion."

Musings on Choice
"Letting go can be addicting. It brings with it a taste of true freedom.  After the first brave step, the next steps tend to fall away in front of you, drawing you upward and out of your self.   The first step is a willingness to see things differently."

Musings on Gratitude
"I could have sat with that lump in my stomach and hid in the nearest closet, an alternative that initially seemed appealing.  My old programming could have given me all the justification I needed to do just that, but I couldn’t.  My commitment is to live life as a grand adventure.  It is always the perfect antidote to what ails me."

Musings on Being Alone
"What would we each do differently if we weren’t worried about tomorrows’ next meal, our retirement, or leaving something behind for the children?  From a place of fearlessness, what would we do differently right now?"

Magical Leap of Faith
"Suspending my mind’s story is quite a request, but it is one that holds great promise. It holds the promise of freedom from fear, a pre-requisite for peace and true authenticity. I love it when I am in the flow, effortlessly living life. It feels wonderful when my mind’s story stops and all that remains is an amazing quiet. The peace is remarkable."

The Simple Secret
"I learned a simple secret over the holidays. I don't know how many times I had heard or read of this secret before but, this time I HEARD it. It is so simple that we discount it, believing that the secret of life must be extremely complex and impossible to understand. Perhpas it was grace, or maybe I was just tired enough of the game to pay full attention, worn down by my failures...and my success."

Notes from a Coaching Session
Q: So here I am on page 30 of the book...for the 4th or so time. The lesson 'Dream a Little Dream' keeps calling me back. Yes, it is asking me to come back to it, and some thing insde won't let me go past it.

Going Home, They say we can never go home again...perhaps we should
"For several weeks I had been hearing a voice telling me it was time jump in the car and go visit my mother. Going home is always interesting for me. I love my mother dearly and as I was shown last week, I still held out a desire for her full understanding and acceptance of me. I knew that she loved me in her way, but I still wanted her to love me ‘in my way’. I wasn’t aware that I held out a desire for this ‘appreciation’ of me—for her to ‘get’ me—but on the trip that fact became undeniable."

Relevancea Life Lesson...Like a Thief in the Night
"This week has been a time for looking at relevance. The thesaurus lists several synonyms for relevance, among them: significance, meaning, importance, consequence. For me it comes down to two words—to matter. Isn’t that what we all want? Don’t we all want to matter, to make a difference? If we disappeared from the face of the earth, wouldn’t we want to know that someone would go looking for us? Sounds like a worthy goal—to matter—but as I found this last week, it comes at a fairly high price. "

Protect and Defend or Learn and Grow...An Either / Or Choice?
"Protect and defend or learn and grow. I was deep in conversation with my son and he said, “Mom, it doesn’t have to be a choice between the two.” His energy was protected and I was having difficulty being with him. It felt as if I was sitting next to an impenetrable hedge, not an ordinary hedge, but one with great thorns and deeply troubled energy. I felt as if I had been transported to Grimm’s land of fairy tales and plopped down in the middle of the wonderful story about Little Briar-Rose."

The Surprise in Letting Go of All Expectations...it's not what you think it is
"My son is a wonderful mirror for me. It’s uncanny. Sometimes I wonder if he is really sitting next to me or if I just envision his face on reflections of my own thoughts. It seems every time we get together I come away with a fresh look at something I thought I understood. Whoever said, “We are our children’s teachers,” had it backwards. This time our topic was expectations, or more precisely, letting go of all expectation. My son was a little resistant to the idea, especially when asked to apply it to people whose behavior he wasn’t exactly fond. He couldn’t see how letting go would result in anything other than an acceleration of the behavior—basically giving license to the individual to continue pushing his buttons."

On the Inside Looking Out
"Most of my life I have felt as if I was on the outside looking in. When I think back to my school days I never quite fit in. There were always people more popular than I, people who appeared to be happier, to have more friends, or a more interesting family. Always a problem solver, I set about trying to prove to myself that I could fit in too. In my innocence, I reasoned that all I had to do was try harder, work longer, be nicer. It is interesting to note that when I was younger everything I desired had to do with people and connections, rather than acquisitions and security."

In Love with the Mystery
"No wonder we avoid it. Surrender has some pretty negative connotations. To give up completely…into the power of another…especially as a prisoner…isn’t very appealing. I have spent the day searching for another word to use instead of ‘surrender’ because its meaning does not do us justice. We hear the word surrender and immediately a red flag goes up—way up."

The Secret Behind "The Secret"
"Are the people portrayed in "The Secret extraordinary--one in a million--or are they just like the rest of us? One way to decide would be to look at their success and compare that with yours. If you believe they are special, somehow exceptional, write off the experiment as unworthy of attention. Yet, if "The Secret" is still playing in the back of your mind, you might want to consider an alternative that opens the possibility of realizing your goals."

In Search of the Golden Core Within

"Three months ago I merely tapped into the vein of self-hatred in those weeks prior to the publicity summit. I had no idea how deep the mother lode ran. For the past week I have been staring into its hot core, awaiting revelation, willing at last to see all exactly as it is and little by little the scars mind inflicted bubble to the surface, in search of sweet release."

Tinkering to Get the Fraud Out
"Recently, I watched an interview with Brian Dennehy. As he talked animatedly about his long, illustrious career as an actor, one sentence he used grabbed me and I found myself reaching for a pencil to capture the juicy phrase. Of his performances he said he was constantly, “tinkering to get the fraud out”. As I listened I wondered if we are constantly tinkering to get the fraud out of our lives as well."

Into the Belly of God
"Fear of financial insecurity is intricately interwoven in all we believe. It is a mighty dragon, chained and held fast in the dungeon of mind. A divine request for its release wordlessly, artfully arose in awareness several weeks ago. At first, as with all the other slices of ego that have been stripped away, it was just a nagging discomfort. For me, messages from God seem to show up first as uneasiness in my body before making their presence intelligible to mind. If I am not tuned in, it’s easy to miss them altogether or to shrug them off and placate myself with distraction. Commitment to freeing this self from ‘all’ self-made prisons means that paying attention to body’s signs becomes a daily ritual, one perfectly matched with a vast incentive. This request invited me to let go completely and dive into the belly of God—to live there, love there, take my sustenance only there, to release the control I believed I had over my life, to release even the idea of control—in essence, to stop this mad game and come Home."

...On Separation: NewConneXion, Portland, Oregon -- May 2001
"As we block off our minds and hearts to those others, whether it be that other in the car competing for the same spot in line, or our raging boss, an incompetent colleague or defensive subordinate, we further separate ourselves from the world we live in.   We shut off our own ability to feel, to sense, to participate – one person at a time. "

Speaking Up When It Seems Risky: The New Times, Seattle, Washington -- June 2001
"Until you can stand up and be counted the beliefs you hold are merely paper tigers, shadows of the real thing.  Only these paper tigers have real teeth, biting you every time you deny who you are, every time you remain silent."

The Absolute "Yes": New ConneXion, Portland, Oregon -- August 2001
"What does it mean to say “yes,” to say it with complete conviction without holding anything back.  If I had truly said “yes” to Self, this “I” would be gone – annihilated, all my stories, all my desires, wiped away with that one word." 

On Being In The Now, Effortlessly: New ConneXion, Portland, Oregon -- November  2001
"Is the mind in constant agitation, trying to control the dream, worrying about the outcome or do the events just arise?  If you think about it you will realize that the events unfold just like the scenes at the movies."

Oh, Sweet, Intricate Mind: The New Times, Seattle, Washington -- December 2001
"Oh sweet mind, sweet intricate mind!  I see your game.  You are the protector!  You sweep in to protect me at the exact moment you create the fear from which I need protection.  As long as I do not question the system there is no risk of my seeing the paradox. "
