I asked God what am I and she gently sweetly replied, "My child there is in truth no you, there is in truth no anything, there is only me infinitely dreaming, you and all are my loving dream"

The more deeply I fall into LOVE, the more fully I melt into the one...

Just LOVE...

Science and spirituality come to the same conclusion; one by instinctual knowing and the other by process to gain remembering.

To attempt to deceive LOVE is to steal mothers milk from the mouths of babes.

To be a thief of innocence takes not great wit or skill, but a self loathing that desires its own soul to kill.

To our own sins, our mortal shame we must not become blind; they are the dullest blades that leaves the scars that frame and remind of the pain of the absence of empathy, the forgetting of LOVE.

Just LOVE...

Where there is mortal desperation there is the body raging fearing thanklessly death. 

Where there is eternal patience there is the Soul silently cherishing gratefully in LOVE all that is LIFE...

Our freedom exists in which master we choose to bow before the irrational, erratic whims of the body or the omnipotent, intentional needs of the Soul.

One author pens a short story of survival, while the other scribes the never ending opus that is LIFE, that is LOVE...

Just LOVE...

Once a lie is accepted as truth, truth can only be restored through overwhelming evidence.

How much more evidence must we have before the truth of LOVE replaces the long accepted and believed lie of fear

LOVE is potential; flowering, infinite probability...

Fear is impotence; withering, dying impossibility.

What is, is always is what is, only because we accept it as what is. Once what is, is no longer accepted, what is, is something else, a new is.

What is now accepted as what is, fear, is no longer acceptable, the new acceptance of what is, is LOVE; just LOVE, IS.

Once accepted as is, the world was flat, the new what is accepted, is the world is round.

Fear is to flat finite unmoving earth, as LOVE is to whirling globe through infinite space.

We are not one of one, we are the infinite many in LOVE that the one consists of...

Just LOVE...

Where there is LOVE there is not stranger that is foe, only forgotten friend that is ally with LOVE waiting to bestow.

Where there is LOVE there cannot be enemy; it is our fate, our destiny, our reason to BE, to LOVE all eternally.

The river of me, runs from source to sea, where the infinite rivers of us in LOVE, flow to the gathering of we.

Just LOVE...

If you choose to believe and think that you have the ability or need to control the infinite illusion; is to be surviving the endless journey in fear.

If you choose to have faith and remember that there is nothing to control and that Infinity is what is and only God controls and created what is; is to be living the never ending odyssey in LOVE.

That choice is our freewill, but in truth only one choice is real, only one choice is what is, only one choice will free you, bringing you everlasting joy and eternal happiness; and that choice is LOVE.

Fear repulses God's gifts...

LOVE receives...

I am not a what, I am in truth a why and a how. Why because God wanted to share her LOVE, her creation with all. How because LOVE is all God is and she can. What I am is impermanent, illusion; why and how is infinite real, eternal...

Remember why and how you are and what you are becomes irrelevant. 

You are not the vehicle you ride in on this journey, you are just a passenger, sit back enjoy the ride in LOVE, let it be...

Just LOVE...

God created beauty as proof of LOVE for us to sense, as what purpose does beauty hold for those whom fear has rendered senseless.

To live in LOVE is to lay silently, stilly, filled with grace in God's infinite meadow, immersed in it's eternal beauty.

To survive in fear is to carelessly, clumsily, gracelessly, rampage through God's garden crushing it's beauty beneath stampeding hooves.

LOVE did not create life's beauty, it is life's beauty.

Fear does not destroy life's beauty, it blinds us to it's existence.

Just LOVE...

LOVE is the explosion of all infinite creation erupting from the deepest depths of my Soul. I am a Nova erupting, serving life, continuing creation, Black holes to Quasars, life cycling, unfolding; I am LOVE's conduit completing the circuit of life that is Infinity and with that remembering the oneness is touched, new life is born; I serve, humbly and with immeasurable gratitude, I serve...

Just LOVE...

Evil is a vacuum, a spiritual vampire with no soul of its own. It is absent of empathy, kindness. compassion, logic. It seeks to feast upon and corrupt the heart of the pure, the innocent, to enrage and make violent the peaceful and gentle, and breathe fear and doubt into the consciousness of those for whom LOVE is life. Leaving behind a broken drained hollow being unsure of truth. Evil then smiles as drops of soul fall from its fangs, not because it has found fulfillment, spiritual nourishment, but because it has created another being in its image of shadow, pain and hate; it must have been evil that inspired the phrase misery loves company...

Never doubt the truth of LOVE and you will never know evil.

Just LOVE...

"Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil." ~ Aristotle

Why do we LOVE our things of matter? Is it for their material value or is because they become our surrogates, vessels for our memories, our moments, our experiences, our emotions and maybe when we lose the things we value, it is not for the value of our things of matter lost our hearts aches, but for that piece of ourselves, our history, our past that is lost with them and maybe it's good sometimes, maybe it's probably good most times to let our things go.

As our things like our yesterdays can become our prison, if we hold onto them too tightly and they become too real.

What we are is LOVE, now; not our yesterdays, nor our tomorrows and most certainly not our things of matter, for we are not of matter, but of soul.

So could things of matter possibly in truth matter, if matter we are not?

Just LOVE...

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” ~ Oscar Wilde

If I were to tell you that for several thousand years or for as long as their have been years measured, that a being had been using only one method for meeting their challenges and each time that method that they have been using fails on an even grander scale than the incarnation before, you would draw one of four conclusions; they must enjoy failing very much, they must be somehow profiting from the failure, they are madder than the hatter whose brain has been rotted by chimney soot or they are just plain dumb. Or I guess there is one other choice, all of the above.

If war was actually solution to our problems then there would be no more problems, we would have no more wars and we would be living as one in LOVE, instead of continuing to make the choice, of all of the above.

Just LOVE...

"The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution." ~ John F. Kennedy

It was for this reason and this reason alone Kennedy was assassinated, he the need to end all wars...

If not for LOVE, there would be no reason for me to be, it is it's hope, that is my destiny to share, but truth be told almost none of our preening and prancing, mad jesters in the court of the paper king, makes little or no sense to me. Efforts wasted in mindless, flailing, frivolity, as the gluttonous queen of sloth feasts on misery and despair grown in the garden peasants starving: no I stand corrected it is not little or no sense it makes, all it makes and is, is nonsense.

Just LOVE...

“Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.” ~ Euripides

With the winds of LOVE beneath the human spirit we can soar higher than even Angels, for we know what it is to have forgotten, to be unaware of God's embrace while guised in ignorant fearful beast form and like the man in the desert dying of thirst, no one cherishes the finding of water more.

Angels have never been the man dying of thirst, grateful to have rediscovered the infinite spring of God.

It is that experience of not LOVE that will raise the soul of man higher the Angels.

God's eternal perfection realized even our moment of seeming flaw, despair and discontent.

Man's fear is the desert in which I wandered drinking lustily the from the sand of the mirage.

God's LOVE is the oasis, from it I drink with passion, not greed.

Just LOVE...

Our chosen fear is an impediment to the free flow of LOVE's energy needed to support life's process, we are to LOVE as the dam is to the river.

I choose LOVE not because I fear I will die, I choose LOVE because without LOVE there would be no life from in which to choose.

I would choose not be man, before again I would choose not to be LOVE.

Just LOVE...

I first needed to remember why to LOVE all of me; I then remembered it was my need to LOVE all of you that was my why to BE; finally I came to remembering that the need to LOVE all that it is, is the why that sets the me, I am to BE, FREE...

LOVE is the why of life, as without LOVE life has no reason why and we have survived without reasoning why; far too long.

Just LOVE...

“We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too, like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness and even death.” ~ Leo F. Buscaglia

It is a fatal flaw of our fearful ego thinking that our technology has surpassed the organic loving manifestations of God intention in sustaining life's process.

So far from nature's path we have chosen to wander; deeper and deeper into fear's madness, insanities abyss of our known failures, creating a hell that need not and does not exist. Afraid of the unknown, unremembered perfection of the LOVE we are, we languish in longing for what decided to forget; now finding hard with fragmented memory, to accept that we are the illusion choosers.

So long in unnecessary, self inflicted agony have we tortured and terrorized ourselves that many cannot imagine BEING or deserving of an existence of unconditional LOVE, in perfect harmony with God's creation...

Fear is surviving in perpetual discord and disconnect.,,
LOVE is living in eternal harmony and unity...

Just LOVE...

All the experience of BEING human life and LOVE; only makes greater your understanding and LOVE of just being.

The further away the perspective, the clearer your view, the greater your wisdom.

Drift out of your body as far as you can, until you have reached the edge of the universe, take it all in, every galaxy, every star, every planet; then turn and look out toward the infinite. Understand in that moment that there can be no edge to space, no beginning or ending of time, no limit to anything bigger or smaller, no boundaries, no impossibilities. Take in as much as you can; then return home to your body with that perspective seared in your spirit and see how your perspective changes.

Make that new perspective be from LOVE and your path to eternal ascension becomes clear...

Just LOVE...
Kip Baldwin

Each moment in the awareness of LOVE, each sweet breath of life that we taste in our mouths, filling our lungs, oxygen infused blood pulsing from our heart and out through our veins, is heaven, is paradise; to wait for more reason than that to commit our intention to LOVE, is to be the most selfish of spoiled children ever birthed beyond the starry skies above...

Just LOVE...

“You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if, owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to smell like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you who exchange heaven for earth. I don't want to understand you.” ~ Anton Chekhov

Humanity is the weak link in the chain of this illusion. If we fail all fails; one does not and cannot exist without all in any of the infinite illusions that exist, every part even the smallest, even the tiniest thought matters and all loving all is what matters most; no link is weak in LOVE.

Competition is to beating, as cooperation is to bettering.

If we let go the want to imagine we conquer; instead realizing, needing the true power in LOVE's surrender ascension will be ours.

The Mountain of Infinity is higher than even the souls imagining and no being, no thing, climbs it alone.

With arrogance we repel, with humility we embrace; humble yourself in your significant, insignificance.

You are not greater than the sum of the whole, but the whole is not without you.

Just LOVE...

“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. ” ~ Chief Seattle

To stay in LOVE after so many millennium in bestial fear is hard work now. A constant rewriting of one's program, reminding oneself of what is truth, what is real, from what has been our delusion, but the more you work at anything the easier it becomes and the better you become at that thing, so to it will be and is with remembering the LOVE we are.

The difference between man awake and man still sleeping, is that man awake is not only aware, he is aware he is aware; he is aware of the blessing of his awareness and he understands his choice. While the man sleeping still, is only just aware he is and understands not that the choice is his; believing that his fate is his fate and that is that. Not realizing that his choice is not his fate, his destiny, but how he meets and travels to it.

Paradise is how NOW you choose to walk Infinity's trail, not a destination Infinities ahead...

Just LOVE...

Thoughts of freedom...

There is nothing that is not possible; there is nothing that is not...

Your cell door is locked only by you; the cell, the door, the lock, do not exist except by your conjure.

I died to the me I thought I was, to BE the me I know I am.

I do not live in a dream of LOVE, the certainty of LOVE lives within me.

Just LOVE...

"The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free." ~ Swami Vivekananda

In each and every moment of our feeling of discontent, standing tall and proud in the facade of self named ego, we must drop to the knees of our soul, our true self, humbling ourselves before LOVE's absolute presence, giving sincerest thanks for all that we have been given and that we were made to BE.

LOVE and thankfulness; the equation that equals happiness and freedom, the exponent of which is proof of the power faith.

Washed in the gratitude of LOVE, I am cleansed of greed and fear.

Just LOVE...

Life without LOVE is the poem without a poet to write it, the philosophy without a philosopher to think it, the song without a singer to sing it. And like the poem without the poet, the philosophy without the philosopher, the song without the singer, life without LOVE cannot be, for it would not have intention placed upon it for it to; only the ignorant beasts think survival is enough reason to be.

Life is the intention of LOVE; life intended, LOVE becomes the intention of life...

Just LOVE...
