The pure of heart have no use of fear or hope, the imaginings of want. And desire only the Soul's insatiable need of LOVE's truest abundance; the realm of Saints and Angels...

~ George Gordon Byron

True LOVE, God's LOVE, knows not distinction or valuation; it LOVEs equally the flea and the dog, the roach and the man, the sinner and the saint; God's LOVE is without judgement or recrimination.

And anything that is not God's LOVE is not really LOVE, but a want thought up in the brain and body, while ignoring the need of the heart and soul.

God's LOVE is infinite flow, though it is forever still and life floats in and upon it, like the tadpoles and Lilies of the pond.

“The river is everywhere.” ~ Hermann Hesse

Fear induces murky thinking manifesting delusion and illogical outcomes that are the antithesis to life's infinite process.

LOVE is clarity of mind remembering and accepting instinctually what is in truth, the design that allows infinite life to prosper, flourish and thrive infinitely.

Human civilization is the product of self told lies emanating from the fearful brains murky thought.

Fear is the storm that disturbs, making brown and muddy the ocean tides.

Love is the calm that restores, revealing the crystal clear sea that is Infinity...

I am a drop, but it takes all drops to create a sea and in sea I am not a lone drop, but a unique part of the sea.

This is truth; I know this, I remember this... I BELIEVE!

But each unique drop can only know, remember, believe for themselves; in their heart, their center, their source.

I BELIEVE...

just LOVE...

For going on four years now I have shared with all who wanted my thoughts and knowings on and of LOVE, so that I feel I am being my part in helping the truth of what we are be remembered and restored. This is not some hippie dippie dream of utopian fantasy, this again is the truth of what we are and what we need to be, if we as a species have hope to continue to be; LOVE is how and what makes nature work, PERIOD!

For if we don't come to remembering, restoring awakening now, our tools of mass consumption, waste and hoarding will devour all the we once imagined to be humanity and then will follow our weapons of mass destruction to wipe clean the Earth's palette of this infection we have become.

We concern ourselves greatly with a virus that will wipe out all man, not realizing we are that virus.

We are the cannibals devouring all life. The infected, infecting; spreading with each contact like flame to tinder the cancer of consumerism, the magical thinking of Capitalism's unfettered, unlimited growth. We are the zombies and this our apocalypse.

But who am I to believe?

If not me; perhaps them...

To break a spirit means to break a beings trust in itself; and if a being can no longer trust in itself, it can no longer believe in itself; and if a being cannot believe in itself, it can no longer believe or trust in anything even LOVE.

To break the spirit of a being or beings you LOVE is to break their LOVE of you and you are left with only the illusion of control to fill the void.

LOVE cannot be broken, but it can by any being refused to be shared either consciously or subconsciously.

“Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful” ~ Albert Camus

Though LOVE is the truth of what we are; having chosen time and again well aware of the results of blade to wrist, gun to head; still from edge we leap knowing the jagged rocks below rising quickly to meet us this time cannot be avoided; perhaps then madness and suicide is our chosen experience in this existence and who I am to say other; am I only a self chosen witness bearer to the final fall of this our collectively imagined species; my gentle, silent scream to Infinity, to LOVE upon deafened ears unheard.

I dream of LOVE, therefore I dream of life...

Somewhere, right now a child is being abused or worse
Somewhere, right now a woman is being raped or worse
Somewhere, right now a man is being tortured or worse
Somewhere, right now a forest is being devastated or worse
Somewhere, right now a sea is poisoned or worse
Somewhere, right now a sky is being polluted or worse
Somewhere, right now a soil is being contaminated or worse
Somewhere, right now an animal is inhumanely slaughtered or worse

Somewhere right now all these heinous, barbaric, atrocities and worse are happening for greed, for profit, for waste, for a very, very, very few who consider themselves elite. But why it's happening is because we have allowed it; willingly, witlessly participated in the addictions spread, the cancers growth. It is time that all these things somewhere right now must stop and our LOVE must finally hold dominion over their fear.

If we don't choose LOVE now, now that we have had thousands of years to remember and know the truth of LOVE, then we have no one and nothing to blame but ourselves; for somewhere, right now or worse...

"The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity." ~ Robert Anthony

“They cannot scare me with their empty spaces

~ Robert Frost

When we were children often the best toys were the simplest. I used to love my tin of bubbles, a little tin filled with soapy liquid, and a simple circle of wire. How we used to love playing in the field behind my home, dipping the wire in the liquid, blowing to see who could create the biggest, the longest, the best bubbles. Marvelling at how the sunlight shone through the bubbles creating a whole spectrum of colours.

But try as we might, we simply couldn't catch those bubbles, and hold them in our hands - the minute we tried those bubbles burst. Soon we learned that the only way to have bubbles was to keep creating them.

LOVE for me is the same. You can't hold on to LOVE, you have to keep creating it every day, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. LOVE is the only thing I know of where the more that you create and give away, the greater your capacity to create more. And the more you give away, the more is given back to you in return.

When two people share, they make LOVE, they fall "IN LOVE" - and they experience that feeling of connectedness that comes when they experience the connection with All That Is. But that moment can be fleeting whether they connect directly with the Source, or with another person, a unique expression of Source.


So, like those bubbles, rather than try to hold on to the LOVE we have made, we need to keep blowing the bubbles , we need to keeping making love by sharing, learning to see others as who they really are, looking beyond the illusion, the maya, the mitote, every second of every minute, of every day.

As a child of the sixties, I remember very well the slogan "Make Love Not War"

Love Being ... and Be Loving

Mike Pendragon

The madly in LOVE know; there is no pain too great to suffer, no cell too strong to keep, no mountain too high to scale, no ocean too deep to dive, no time too long to wait, no space too vast to journey, that can or will keep them separate from the LOVE, as vital to their lives as the air is to breathe. Remember truth; awakened to soul's desire we are all mad lovers gasping infinitely for air, to breathe as one...

just LOVE...

Selfishly, fearfully, unaware; deluding oneself into believing that ones, the individuals every want and whim supercedes the needs and requirements of ones loving, eternal, responsibility and connection to the whole, the collective, to all that is life does not make one free, it makes one cancerous, rabid, virus. 

Freedom is not another word for nothing left to lose, freedom is another word for remembering that LOVE is only way to BE...

I suckle deeply from the abundance that is the breast of God, the Mother's Milk that nourishes all creation; LOVE!

LOVE is life.

LOVE you brother John...

The experience of matter is but the oneness that is God, wearing infinite brilliant disguise

The illusion of fear is but the truth of LOVE, woven into fantastic lie.

There is no thing but God.

There is no truth but LOVE.

In fear we are what we are not; alone.

In LOVE we are what we are; one...

I embrace your soul with my soul

I apologize from the core of my being for ever having feared you
I LOVE you with all that I am unconditionally for eternity...

These are simple words, but shared with the fullest intention of their truest meaning they stir powerful emotion and once with intention shared, your life and life as we all know it would and will change forever; start changing your and our forever, today.

If you share them with friend they are blessing given
If you share them with foe they are miracle manifested
If you share them with God they are truth remembered...

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” ~ Leo Buscaglia

I do not know why, if it was by chance or choice and it doesn't really matter, that our evolutionary path led us to the spirit corrupting delusion, the brainwashing of self into believing the falsehood that we are fearful sinners, born in sin, but in doing so we have manifested with our intention an illusion of hell. If that were truth, it would mean that God created sinners, she did not, she created loving lovers, born of her LOVE and gave them the freewill to perceive of themselves how they choose. We choose our lie, over God's truth. This lie has put us at odds with nature, life's process, God's reality, as the lie reinforces in us the untruth that death is punishment, a taking away of the gift of life and if we are being punished so harshly, then God must be very angry with us, therefore we must be inherently evil, but that is what we are not, not what we are. God is not angry, for God knows not anger; bewilderment I can imagine, but not anger, not now, not ever. As that would mean that we finite being of flesh, could somehow wrong a God that is LOVE without condition and Infinity absolute; that my friends, my brothers and sisters is the extreme of human ego, the height of mortal arrogance. We must awake and remember God's truth, how God envisioned and envisions us, not as fearful, hateful, sinners, the defilers of paradise, but as her loving, loved children, here to experience and be the caretakers, partakers of God's infinite Eden, one with all eternally, infinitely, undeniably.

If you tell a child long enough, often enough it is bad, most likely the child will begin to believe they are bad and do bad things, so that their reality reflects that of one being bad. We have told ourselves that we are bad children for quite too long, it is time to remember we are not, we have to believe that or we will continue to act as bad children and ultimately like all bad children our guilt and self loathing with completely and thoroughly overwhelm us and we will destroy ourselves, take our own lives, just as are doing now; one by one, war by war, devastation by devastation.

Wake up mankind, to the truth that you are
soul, that you are LOVE...

just LOVE...

"For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life." ~ Albert Camus

To cringe from death, is to cringe from life
To embrace death, is to embrace life
To forget LOVE, is to forget to be
To remember LOVE, is remember to BE

I don't want to LOVE you, I must LOVE you, I have to LOVE you, I need to LOVE you; for if I do not truly LOVE you, I do not truly LOVE me and if do not truly LOVE me, I cannot, could not and will not BE.

Life is LOVE and death is part of life; LOVE all life, LOVE is all life...

LOVE like air is ubiquitous and both though neither can you see, feel, touch or taste; neither without, would you or could you be.

"Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be." ~ Khalil Gibran

LOVE exalts the meek, humbles the vain and ultimately LOVE restores peace, balance, unity, as it reminds each that no matter the facade worn to the masquerade of their experience, all is infinitely, eternally, absolutely, one.

Remember Angels have wings to fly to the light, the source, LOVE; not away. Away, apart, far from LOVE, even Angels lose their wings and fall.

I pray fall thee Angels no farther, be lifted again on spirit wings, Heaven beacons you home.

"The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man." ~ Euripides

“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.” ~ Rumi

Churches, temples, mosques, synagogues turned houses of horror and war. Brainwashing the masses, transforming the sons and daughters of God's eternal LOVE into spiritless disciples worshiping at altars of fear, but God is waiting and watching, infinitely patient. She knows the final outcome never changes, eventually we will again remember and wake from the long  cold night cast by fear's illusion; always dawn breaks and LOVE's truth is revealed in the light.

It wasn't long ago that we had world leaders with the wisdom and courage to utter out loud that lasting peace is a necessary condition for humanities survival; they even spoke of infinite possibilities, universal love of all and our innate oneness. Those leaders spoke truth and yet the mongers of fear and convenience convinced the collective to choose lie; they/we chose wrong.

That's the bad news; the good news is truth is waiting, we still have a chance to choose again.

"We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear." ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I pray for there to be a generation that follows mine, that for them peace and LOVE are the rule; and war and fear are but distant, far flung memories of what once was, but never should have been.

You must LOVE and care for all others for the innate and eternal truth of what they are, but you need not feel ashamed or guilty for not caring about the lie of fear they choose to be. 

You can LOVE infinitely, but you can only care to extent the other cares for themselves.

I am forever attached to you, but not to the not you....

"Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have." ~ Margaret Mead

Time when perceived through the pinhole of fear feels like quicksand, stealing moments, swallowing whole nows, until below the surface we slip and life is gone.

Time when experienced through LOVE's kaleidoscope becomes a never-ending beach where in each grain of sand is a choice from infinite possibilities and life is eternal.

“As if you could kill time without injuring eternity” ` Henry David Thoreau

Remembering the truth of LOVE in a world whose foundation is fear, is like finding sobriety in a liquor store filled with alcoholics where drinking is encouraged. For the sober man this is a torment beyond imagining, not because of being surrounded by the temptation to become drunk once more; the sober man remembers well the torture of being the alcoholic, living the lie, greeted by a red bloated face in the mirror, convincing yourself through the pain that you're having a good time, the voice saying; just get me through until the bliss of the next drink, the next fix, it will all be fine. No, it is because watching them suffer, surviving in the junkies lie, breaks the sober man's heart and is a constant reminder that he would rather die than be the drunk again and live the lie. The sober man's torment is though try as he might he cannot make the alcoholics in the store remember the joy of a life without being drunk, when the reality they have created around them is their constant enabler and he realizes that he is but a stranger in a sea of lushes drowning.

Man is a glutton at a twenty four hour, all you can eat buffet of fear and it seems he will eat till he bursts.

just LOVE...

It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.” ~ Edgar Allan Poe

Stick figure children with bellies bloated on beds of diseased dirt; in pockets for quarters we reach, the crocodile tears stream.

Animals spirits crushed, broken bleeding bodies on our television screens; check books pen in hand, we pretend someone else's bad dream.

Flesh mutilated by bullets and bombs, lungs and brains choked by toxic fumes, hearts stop beating; no war, if only we could have peace, in vain we feign scream.

All these and more, the heinous, repugnant, the unspeakable, the unthinkable, we as a collective have chosen to be.

It is neither God or a devil who has imprisoned us in nightmare and it will be neither they that make the choice that will set us free.

Love is not some passing fancy, a fad of flower children dancing on fields on green, it is our salivation, our truth, our eternity, our infinite destiny...

There is the one truth and I have remembered
Though struggle my mortal mind to cling
There is nothing, save one thing

Nor fear I will have imagined between
Nay it is LOVE, that is the one truth
That is real; not just an illusion fleeting

We without LOVE are but hollow vessels that must be filled; the thirst that must be quenched. For life without LOVE is the vacuum nature abhors; be still, be silent, be filled. LOVE is the most subtle of all forces; drink from its invisible, infinite well.

Hollow no more, thirsty no more, filled I am, drunk on LOVE...

"Goodness is achieved not in a vacuum, but in the company of other men, attended by love." ~ Saul Bellow

No vast accumulations of wealth and power can or should stop it, we all eventually one day die, it matters not how life was lived or survived; weak or strong, rich or poor. In the end as the shadow across the light of this life grows long and fear of the unknown creeps into the last of our waking thoughts, we all want and need the same one thing, to know that we are not alone, to know that we will be remembered, to know that we are loved; even if in just one heart we are held dear. Their touch making the cold of our shallow breaths not so, comforting our grief and regret stricken mind, easing the terror. Wishing us gently, goodnight, sweet dreams, travel well. I knew your soul and I will see you again someday, when we are whole, when we are home...
