We are on a journey to return this planet to the Garden of Consciousness
it was always meant to be. In the process, you will awaken to the realization that you are not only loved, you are Love itself. You will find that rather than having been abandoned, you have never been separate, never forgotten.
Awareness is part of our healing journey...
There is only one truth alive in the human heart.
This truth is love. Follow this love and it will set you free.
The greatest treasure is a contented heart.
- John O'Donohue
Deep within you lies a gem.
Discovering this gem is what our journey Home is all about.
All darkness vanished,
when I saw the Lamp within my heart.
The effulgence of the supreme Being
is beyond the imagination:
Ineffable is His beauty,
to see it is the only 'proof'. - Rumi
O Beloved, look around
You are not some local appearance.
You are the bright blue sky,
The wine dark waters,
A vast ocean!
The drowning place of a thousand little I's. - Rumi
"When you were outside of Time, you were free. Then the moment came when you decided to enter the physical realm. You set out to discover who you could be on a planet that was created for your delight ...but you left many provisions for your journey on the shore of your departure.
You became identified with a separate self, which left you feeling abandoned by God/Goddess/All That Is. Much like a lost child, you forgot that you initiated a movement in consciousness away from the All. And then concluded that Great Spirit abandoned you. In actuality there was no separation. You did not leave Home. You turned your face to a wall, and found there a mirror of what you had become and you grew afraid.
It is in Paradise that you still live and breathe and have your Being. And it is to Paradise that you return, not to a place, but to the Home you long for, the one you never really left, but turned away from. For you are being called Home again, to Heaven on Earth, the one that you all know is possible, the one you remember in your heart. As a child you return to Oneness, leaving behind the sophistication of an adult caught in the mirage of physical existence.
Now you can have the kind of fulfillment that is only dreamt about, the kind the jaded adult left behind in the dust of shattered dreams. The secret is that fulfillment is found within and you hold the key to it. But in the midst of plenty you look around for more, wishing for the thing that will do it for you, the one thing that will make you happy.
You look for fulfillment in the outer world where it will not be found.
Lasting fulfillment only comes from within. What lies outside of you only entertains. When you are dazzled by externals, you become a spirit wandering in an illusory realm with your attention riveted to the televised viewing in your mind. And all while a glorious Garden awaits you!
The most sought after truth is right in front of you. Look in the mirror. The Vastness itself has appeared. Surely nothing is as great as the One who loves absolutely, willing to remain unseen, even disregarded,
all the while loving you, waiting patiently by the door of distant memory, until you realize the love you have so fiercely sought was in you, as you, all along.
End Your Search Now!
You struggle to get ‘there,’ to understand the mystery of life, to know what enlightenment is all about.
But there really isn’t anything to learn or remember. There is only one truth underlying all others.
The gift waiting for you,
no matter how long you take to accept it, is the act of love, that you are.
Yet you live in your head, inventing stories about who you are or how you want to be perceived, wearing yourself out with worry and doubt. Then you wonder why you feel tired and fearful. The phenomenon of ‘you’ exists within a vast awareness where your dilemmas have the meaning you give them. What you think, what your five senses tell you about life, is rarely true.
Know this:
The awareness you call God is the love that powers this universe, and this Awareness is also you, imperfectly perfect, right here and now. What you are exists because of God/Goddess/All That Is.
You can’t escape the truth in this statement; you’ve known this all along.
The one you are looking for is the one who is looking. ~ St. Francis of Assisi
Create your reality by dancing the only dance there is, the Dance of Love! If a book needs to be done, the words and pictures will arise in you and it will be done.
You do not have to push your will against that of the Divine to get what you want.
There is only one Will, to Love, to Awaken, to Be.
All Being proceeds from, returns to, and has its existence in Love.
Love is the movement in the dance. It writes the words, sets the rhythm, and sings the songs. It is everything. And everything is always in motion, taking up form and leaving it again, ever changing and never abandoning anyone.
The bereaved state of mind longs for God, for an unfailing Divine Love that always nourishes.
It is that aspect of the Divine we call the Great Mother, the Divine Feminine, the Great Goddess.
Everything is filled with
this Presence.
Each action occurs within this Awareness that is God.
You already have what you seek to create. Because you are what you seek.
Imagine a world where everyone lives in this awareness. Imagine a world filled with loving kindness. You are an expression of this exuberance that spins out of itself more and more awareness, taking up form and leaving it again. Imagine living life in this Truth.
A child comes with heart and mind open, ready to be shown. If you are arrogant or presumptuous, then your mind is closed and your heart unavailable. If you want freedom, suspend your adult assumptions. Come as a child.
Why can’t you maintain the awareness you have already tasted? Because you close your heart in fear. You still believe you can be abandoned and forsaken by an uncaring God. You believe with all your heart that this has happened, will happen again, and could be even worse next time. You point to horrors in this world and say, see it does happen. A loveless world is created by ignorance and fear. And, yes, you have been one of the creators of it.
When the curtains are parted and you allow Light to enter,
you will have the world the way your loving heart imagines it can be.
There is only one Truth underlying all others.
You have only to recognize what has always been so,
what
has always been here, and what has always been You….
Silence is the most profound prayer of all...
It's in silence where you meet your real Self.
It is the Self you wandered away from, the one you could never leave,
and were convinced you would never find.
You've been wandering as though Homeless, when it was never really possible to leave home at all! Your despair, your loneliness have come from the perception that you have been separated from your Source.
Nothing could be further from the Truth.
Enter the Silence to find what has always been here.
In the depths of Love is the Vastness that is You. Welcome Home…
Remembrance of the One True Self is the beginning and end of peace.
Inner peace follows thought, but not as the result of the thoughts you have. When the ‘busy’ thoughts of your
day-to-day concerns drop to the bottom of your list of preferences, peace appears.
Stillness always lies at the edge of your horizon. It beckons while you absorb yourself in the distractions of daily life. When you find yourself caught in the grand mirage of a life that does not satisfy, drop into the silence beneath it. Absorb yourself instead in the deepest strata of your being. Then you will have peace.
It's as simple as that.
Put down your heavy load and come into the Garden, where you will meet forms of life not concerned with beliefs and expectations. Life in the Garden is free of the constructs you use to keep yourself safe from fear.
Plants exist without needing any belief in their inherent value! Freedom to radiate, to absorb, to be is the norm. Sit in this radiance. Immerse yourself in this Light until you realize that it is actually emanating from within you.
That which you are seeking is causing you to seek.
You are radiant when you manage to lose your self-consciousness. When you drop your list of ‘don’ts,’ when
you let go of how you should be, then you radiate the clear light of your real self. This radiant self is not dying for a new car or dragging itself to work every day. This ‘you’ has no problem with happiness; it accepts you as you are.
Radiant light is what you are made of, suddenly visible and palpable in this world.
This is who you are, above and beyond what you think of yourself. To experience this radiance, drop all the conditions you maintain to keep your image of yourself alive.
You can’t return to ignorance or denial once you come this far. You are past the point of no return. You can watch TV, play video games, or shop, all wonderful ways to avoid an encounter with yourself, but a soul deprived of knowing its real Self is homeless."
Claim the radiant Self that is your destiny.
This is your own true self revealing itself to the world.
This is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
The gift is the realization that you are a part of God,
that you are Awareness in form.
Indeed you are love itself.
When you know this beyond a shadow of a doubt, you will also realize that living in this awareness is the only sustainable mode of living. All choices that proceed from this state will further life in its most luminous form.
All life on earth is waiting for this awakening to take hold of humanity, to create the revolution in consciousness we have all been longing for. It is here, in your heart and mind, that the real revolution will take place.
It is already happening and you are part of it.
You are yearning for the Truth to take hold and transform everything in sight.
Welcome to life on Earth as it was meant to be!
"Healing accelerates as you develop the capacity to hold a space of Conscious, Active, Present Love when some thing less than Love surfaces.... when unresolved issues surface. Ancient hurts are then transformed into Love."
"True healing is not about premature positive thinking. It's about honest, appropriate thinking and holding yourself, and others, accountable for all behaviors! Premature positive thinking produces dis-ease. Appropriate and honest thinking is the goal. The only healing and truly restorative processes are those which allow stored negativity to be surfaced, exposed to Love, and released."
"The willingness to embrace with Love, whatever you find inside yourself, is the "Cosmic Grease" that helps you move easily and quickly through your issues."
Om Mani Padme Hum Om Mani Padme Hum Om Mani Padme Hum
It is very good to recite this mantra. According to Gen Rinpoche, the mantra Om Mani Pädme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. Päd, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom. So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom!
'Come to the edge,' he said.
They said, 'We are afraid.'
'Come to the edge,' he said.
They came. He pushed them, and they flew... - Guillaume Apollinaire
Love called you here.
Love will see you through. - Emmanuel
Each person is a Sacred Temple. The altar of that temple is the heart.
The fire of love, a reflection of the greater light, burns upon this altar.
This light within must be acknowledged and cared for.
This is the religion of the Sons of the Sun.
It is the universal, cosmic, solar religion.
- Willaru Huayta
Remember that the other person is you.
- Yogi Bhajan
The
whole Universe is made of love, every atom, every fiber, every cell,
it is all a creation
of love,
Created in love, and very few experience this.
Those who do, experience who they truly are.
- Mirabai Devi Look within, there is no difference
between yourself, Self and Guru.
You are always Free.
There is no teacher,
there is no student,
there is no teaching.
- Sri H.W.L. Poonja
Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we
have learned here.
The spiritual journey is the
unlearning
of fear and the acceptance
of love back into our hearts.
- Marianne Williamson
Enlightenment is the journey from the head back to the heart, from words, back to silence;
getting back to our innocence in spite of our intelligence.
Although very simple, this is a great achievement.
- Sri Sri Ravishankar
Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts,
the depths where
neither sin nor desire can reach,
the person that each one is in God’s eyes.
If only they could see themselves as they really are.
If only we could see each other that way,
there would be no reason for war,
for hatred, for cruelty…
we would fall down and worship each other.
~ Thomas Merton
The world is waiting for you to Open. Open your heart, let love flow in and out.
Let love be your motivation in every action.
Let love be the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning and the last thing before bed at night.
Let love fill up your body, every cell, until it overflows out into the world, touching everything.
Let Love be your gifted ability; it is what you are meant to do.
Every moment take Love one step further in some way, let it grow and grow.
Love is endless, as is your ability to express and experience it. There is no limit, no rule, no one way.
The more you Open, the more Love will teach you, fill you,
emanate from you. Do not wait. Start Now.
Have Courage, Intent, Willingness. Let Love be the Truth you represent, the tool you carry, the vehicle that brings you to every new step.
- Nasata-La
Certain activities, attitudes, foods, and persons support the cultivation of an unconscious life.
They draw us away from our center. They throw us off-balance. They deplete the soul.
- Patricia Lynn Reilly
Enlightenment is not about imagining figures of light
but of making the darkness conscious.
- C.G. Jung
Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.
- Henri Bergson, French philosopher
Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness.
Bad turns into good through the power of non resistance. - Eckhart Tolle
The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
- Johann von Goethe
Friend, listen, This is what I have to say:
The Guest I love is inside me!
- Kabir
“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.…”
"We cherish our best friends and our special communities because we feel safe to be vulnerable when we’re in their embrace. And yet we also discover that as long as we identify with our self-image, with our ego, there’s no safety possible anywhere. When the ego is on watch, even a dear friend’s truth may trigger reactions like anxiety, self-criticism, fear, and more. The only true safety
exists in living the Truth of our soul, our essence."
What would Love do?
What is love?
"When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully -- in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love." - Eknath Easwaran
"Therefore, when I say that 'I love,' it is not I who love, but in reality Love who acts through me. Love is not so much something I do as something that I am. Love is not a doing but a state of being - a relatedness, a connectedness to another mortal, an identification with her or him that simply flows within me and through me, independent of my intentions or my efforts." - Robert A. Johnson
Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving
something, and it is only such love that can know freedom. - Krishnamurti
The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed. - Krishnamurti
"When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible." - Don Miguel Ruiz
Let reality govern my every thought
And Truth be the master of mylife.
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disk of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet.
