In the Land of Nothing Lacking



In the Land of Nothing Lacking
Selections from Devarim/Words in Ekev  Deut. 7.12-11.25

Listen YisraEl  Put your name here
You are going to pass over the Jordan this day  Transcend

Only this is required: Respect God with awe
Walk in the Way.  Love and serve all     God’s manifestations

Don’t be stiff-necked. Cut away the thickness about your heart
Don’t be proud; be soft-hearted and compassionate

Yah God tests and proves us to let us see what’s in our hearts
Hardships strengthen us like a father trains his children

Ascend the mountain and receive the tablets of stone
Tablets of the Covenant inscribed with the fingers of God
Covenant, our contract with God

With your own eyes -- see the glory is everywhere!
Don’t ever think it’s your doing. Remember it’s God
Who gives you power and abundance
To fulfill the Covenant – stand in your contract with the divine
To be who you came here to be and to do what you came here for

God brings us to a good land of brooks, fountains and depths
Of fruitful vines, trees and honey, a land of nothing lacking

Eat and be satisfied, and give thanks to God
For bringing us here and giving us this good land   this is a meal prayer

God separates the tribe of Levi to bear the Ark of the Covenant
To stand before, minister to and bless in God’s names
To this day Yah is Levi’s inheritance
The Levite in us supports holy places and teaches the Way

Practice these instructions. They empower you
To possess and occupy the land
Of non-duality and nothing lacking , the Promised Land

Lay up these words in your heart and soul  
Set them as signs on your hands and symbols on your forehead Visualize these letters, these power symbols and meditate on their teachings

Thus we dislodge ignorance in us, and see that everywhere is our home
Be fearless. God is in our midst. None can stand before us
