LOVE in Abundance...

The day mankind locked up the food from one another, imagining scarcity, is the day man was raped by fear and it was on that unholy of unholiest days war was conceived.

The day all mankind eats freely once more from the God given trough of abundance, is the day that man again makes LOVE to LOVE and on that day of new union sanctified the rebirth of peace will be achieved. 

Gratefulness for the reality of plenty is the key to mankind's success; thanklessness that manifests as greed is the making of its demise...

just LOVE...

"People with a scarcity mentality tend to see everything in terms of win-lose. There is only so much; and if someone else has it, that means there will be less for me. The more principle-centered we become, the more we develop an abundance mentality, the more we are genuinely happy for the successes, well-being, achievements, recognition, and good fortune of other people. We believe their success adds to...rather than detracts from...our lives." ~ Stephen R. Covey

LOVE Differences...


Our differences were not created by God to divide us along the lines of one being best, while the other defines themselves as being better; they were given to us so that we could freely feel and experience some small part of God's infinite imagination. Our differences should be loved and cherished; each of us a shimmering piece making up God's unending, eternal mosaic.

To claim righteousness or superiority by border, race, religion, gender and or sexual preference and to make war to attempt to prove our claim true, is our less than infantile thinking preaching patriotic dogma from highchairs, while throwing our pureed peas at one another.

Love the other as ourselves, without cause or reason; for in truth that is what they are.

just LOVE...

“I think… that love encompasses the experience of the possible transition from the pure randomness of chance to a state that has universal value. Starting out from something that is simply an
encounter, a trifle, you learn that you can experience the world on the basis of difference and not only in terms of identity. And you can even be tested and suffer in the process. In today’s world, it is generally thought that individuals only pursue their own self-interest. Love is an antidote to that. Provided it isn’t conceived only as an exchange of mutual favours, or isn’t calculated way in advance as a profitable investment, love really is a unique trust placed in chance. It takes us into key areas of the experience of what is difference and, essentially, leads to the idea that you can experience the world from the perspective of difference. In this respect it has universal implications: it is an individual experience of potential universality, and is thus central to philosophy, as Plato was the first to intuit.” ~ Alain Badiou, In Praise of Love

Where LOVE Flourishes...

LOVE awakens the sleeping mind and makes beat again the dying heart, just as the rain makes flourish and washes clean desolate, arid lands.

Not Yet the Sun...


Fear is like whiskey, joy in disguise, slowly poisoning our bodies, clouding our brains until we die.

LOVE is like the aromatic cane true absurd happiness revealed, nourishing our spirits, awakening our minds until we come to life.

This much I now know for sure, that I now know not.

And this I know more, that when I do know all there is to know there will be no more me needing to know; no more questions, only answer, only God, only LOVE, only one, only absolute Infinity.

Then thanks I must give to God for my suffering, my pain, my sorrow; they are what I prayed I needed to experience, pointed pebbles guiding me on the infinite path of my remembering my oneness in LOVE.

It is LOVE that gives light to the Sun, but the Sun can burn, as well as give life; know then how close you are ready to come the Sun without burning, remembering always you are not yet even the Sun, as you have not yet remembered truly the LOVE you are...

just LOVE...

The Moment to Say; I LOVE You...

Had all my moments of this life past and the truth of LOVE I had not remembered, my one regret, as I looked back in review through the eyes of all others who had touched me in this experience of being, would be all the moments I said not with sincerest intention, "I LOVE you" - before our moments in this life together were no more; for there is never a time again exactly like this now, that I will have to say I LOVE you in. And while a word may not seem like much, when it is all we have, intending to say it, but saying it with intention not, is the second you dream forever you had back. So now before another moment passes and breath in this life I take my last; I LOVE you all, with all my soul, from all my heart...

"Time is a generous miser that gives us seconds to decide and an eternity to ponder." ~ K.R.B.

Lotus Blossom Hearts

Feeling and believing LOVE brought God's gentle rains, watering the lotus blossom that it is my heart, the birth place of universes and infinite probabilities from which the true I emerged whole, as the garden of endless abundance sprang to life soft and green between my toes, my dreams of joy, peace and happiness for all becoming real; lotus blossom hearts unfurling before my senses surrounding and interwoven with me, as all remember the beautiful unique souls they eternally are; with the pure unknowable magic of just being once again embraced, now beats lotus blossom hearts in rhythm to LOVE's blind, silent, still, intention...

Our Waltz with Fear

Our fears of success and of failure is but LOVE asking us; if we are truly ready for our dreams to come true? So too it is with all our fears, they are there for us to climb higher and higher, like stairs in an eternal well. LOVE's perfection asking us always; are we truly ready to continue ever our ascension to one? Rejoice and be grateful then our fears, for they are only questions placed there by LOVE asking us; if we are truly ready to embrace more the truth of what we really are?

With fear we waltz in LOVE's infinite ballroom; don't be a flower on the wall, pick a fear and dance until that fear is exhausted, then pick another and begin the never-ending, sublime promenade through life anew...

just LOVE...

Love is Innocence...

In LOVE, I dance, I sing, I make castles in the sand, angels in the snow, sailing ships from leaves on the lake, I paint masterpieces from clouds and rainbows in the sky, that is what fills my mind's eye. 

In LOVE eternal children nuzzled to the bosom of Nirvana, conceived in the womb of Infinity that is what I feel and believe we to be; please, please, I beseech and implore thee, with all the mirth, zest, vim and vigor of youth come, come and climb with me, then you too can see what I see, from far atop life's never ending tree.

In LOVE willfully lost, but forever found in joy and bliss, the soul of innocence am I.

Rescued by Love Remembered...

Our hearts infinite oceans of rememberings and feelings of LOVE are all that rescue and save us from our brain's washings of fearful, stormy manifestations that sweep like waves over us and would otherwise have drowned us more completely in madness than we already are, its tide sweeping us entirely from the sea of this existence in the process.

Poor arithmetic, but very human. It runs through all our folklore, all human religions, all our literature--a racial conviction that when one human needs rescue, others should not count the price.” ~ Robert A. Heinlein

The Roles We Choose to Play...

Our Souls have cast themselves in illusion's theatre of not remembering, to play a role, to learn the part of being what they are not, just to feel the infinite, divine joy of coming to remembering and being what they are in LOVE once more; a show within a show, a play within a play, a film with a film; the darker the stage for the actor when the curtains fall, the more brilliant the light when again they rise and always, always, always, forever and again they rise...

A Prayer for Healing...

I pray this for the children, the parents, for all the beings suffering in the Philippines and elsewhere: that our collective LOVE has already healed that which our collective fear wounded and tore asunder.

I pray that my mind's eye will receive and believe that which my heart already knows and feels: that love is all that is real.

If we all were to pray in LOVE, to BE in LOVE, all would change instantly, now, today; believe it and it will be...

From Tears to LOVE...

Our tears are primal silent primal screams; they unmask our disguise as they fall revealing all our deepest secrets, darkest fears, unholy lies and unbearable sorrows. When we can no longer run fast or far enough or hide in our shadow persona well enough, we cry, we sob, we weep; until all our terrors sublime and tragic are drown and only LOVE remains, as the drops of salted water filled with our fear and pain soaked memories dry in its light...

LOVE stands at the shore extending the branch of faith to the outstretched arms of the drowning man, always there to save him; while fear is the imagined rope attached to the irrational anchor that is pulling him down to the shadowy deep.

Remembering the Miracle of LOVE...

LOVE that is unconditional is LOVE that is felt from the heart in advance for any situation and for any stimuli regardless, regardless, regardless... 

Meaning that your foundational response to anything from now until the end of forever is LOVE, just LOVE, just LOVE... 

Unconditional LOVE is now your intention of your every experience through eternity, through your every experience that is the perfection that is Infinity...

I am LOVE...
You are LOVE...
We are LOVE...
We are if we believe we are...
LOVE will be if we believe it is...
LOVE is truth, but as with any truth, it is our choice to believe or not...
But not believing makes it no less truth, it only means lie becomes real....
I believe LOVE is the foundation of all that is...

Miracles are no less miraculous simply because we remember the secret and move beyond the mystery of the miracle, it only means that miracles become the norm, common place, science, but we must remember always the miracle behind all miracles is LOVE...

just LOVE...

Joy Without LOVE...

Joy without LOVE, is a hollow illusion of happiness, a bubble that bursts always halfway to heaven, leaving your spirit flailing helplessly as it falls back to the shadow of this incarnation of your fear, it is only through LOVE that truest bliss can be remembered and with Angels wings restored in heaven infinite, we can once more and forever soar...

In LOVE's Light Blossoms the Rose...


In the shadow of fear's desire the rose wilts and dies; flower turns to dust, only thorns remain. In the light of LOVE's gratitude the rose blossoms and thrives; thorns give way to infinite flower...

You, I, we are the rose to wilt or blossom; flower to dust, thorns to stab or flower to bloom, thorns to fall away...

From Oblivion to LOVE...


I dove headfirst into an ocean of my deepest pain and in it I will swim until one moment I find the source of my truest love.

Love is the question I cannot fully comprehend and the answer I seek but do have the ability to understand; just let love be and at last you will see, the voice says to me.

My only joy is silence, my only peace is stillness, my only truth is LOVE; in these divine sublime moments I am freed from the confusion of this mortal coil in which I toil; in these divine sublime moments, the oblivion no man can escape, comforts me in its embrace; in these moments of divine and sublime oblivion, it God's kiss I feel and God's lips I taste.

In these moments I only know, that I know not, so keep swimming I must, until in one moment, maybe now, maybe never, love will just be and I will just see; till then I am just a blind man, in pain swimming ever to LOVE's light...

just LOVE...

From Conversations with God .......

"Your world, and the condition it is in, is a reflection of the total, combined consciousness of everyone living there ……

On Earth it is also true that all of you desire the same thing. You desire peace. You desire prosperity. You desire fulfillment. You desire satisfaction and self expression in your work, love in your life, health in your body. You all desire the same thing  You think this is a coincidence ? It is the way life works ………

………. the only thing different on Earth ….. is that ….. while you desire the same thing, you all have different ideas about how to go about having it. So you're all going in different directions , seeking the same thing.


As you can see by looking around you, much work is left to be done. Unless of course, you are satisfied with your world as it is.

Surprisingly most people are. That is why the world does not change."

This is another of my favourite songs ... for me the lyrics are yet another "message from God" .... "From the bottom to the top, to the leaders of the land, we all have one heart, everyone of us must play a part" ......

Loveless Leadership...


This occurred to me clearly, regarding my assessment of my resentment of the ruling class, regardless of corporate affiliation, religious persuasion or political leaning, with this exception of a very few, is this; I do not resent your wealth and power, your illusion of wealth for your illusion power for your illusion of control of which you in truth have none. It is the betrayal, sloth, greed and destruction that your decietful leadership has visited not just on mankind, but upon all life on Earth and the Earth itself. What do I mean; I mean that you have always done only what is best and easiest for you, the seemingly surest way that will you retain your vast ill gotten gains, with the least thought and or effort. Always never seeing far enough into the future or with enough distant perspective, to realize as most addicts are want to do, that your need to keep the supply of your junk steady and uninterrupted will burn down not only your neighbors house, but your house as well.

Example: industrial hemp, not cannabis, not getting high, just hemp, a plant that can be used for almost as many varied uses as the imagination will allow. This was a plant that at least two of our founding fathers Jefferson and Washington cited (see quote below) as needed for the success of this country and yet the industrial ruling elite, choose to slaughter our forests for paper and pollute our skies and soil for all matters of plastic, rather than embrace and invent in this ages older, but far better natural technology than theirs, that is almost solely artificial. You even had one your very own Henry Ford build and an entire car (see video below) out of hemp, which is four hundred times stronger than steel, only to have the steel industry threaten to crush him if he took it to market. So now you can't even claim well meaning ignorance, as the reason for leading us all down poisoned primrose path of certain demise. Add to that we have a congress who at every turn belittles, berates and strips from the always unintended impoverished the few necessitates the "welfare/nanny state" provides. Meanwhile they do next to nothing in the one hundred twenty work days they schedule for themselves (full pay of a $170,000 of course), while receiving for free the best health care money our can buy; excuse me please but remind me again who as their hand stuck in the government piggy bank, hammer poised to break it entirely.

To sum it up, my assessment of my resentment it is not that you are wealthy and powerful, it is that you have not done what is your charge and what it is position requires, which is the best for all life; when the choice to do so was both easy and laid before you in clearest terms and historical reference. Choosing rather, to use the all for what your delusional minds have deemed is best for only you.

I resent you most because try as I might and the further down your rabbit hole I go, I can't understand or fathom your long term objectives; instead time I seek to know your soul at the bottom of whole, I find only a hatter madly babbling, hoarding without reason.

I am not judging you with my resentment; I am just heartbroken that you consider those who trusted you with their love, just to be stupid gullible simpletons, when the truth is your are the fools turning this gift of paradise into hellish damnation that must be the mirror of your own decaying spirits.

Wake up my world of loving, loved, lovers, they do not care, our crazy generals who have marched us without cause to the war fields of shortage and despair, while abundant joyful meadows without end lay just beyond the not distant horizon of now.

Love is awake and remembered, we will follow you no more, but if you turn from your fear and you will see we are here arms open, waiting to embrace you, without grudge or recrimination, we welcome you home, because we know the truth, we are one forever and you never actually left...

just LOVE...

LOVE THY WILL BE DONE .....

From Conversations With God ....

So go ahead now. Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout; this book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch.

Listen.

The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear--all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you if you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there.

All ways.

For the past twenty odd years I've been open to those answers, those synchronicities, those chance utterances often suggested that I listen to a song ... and I learned to listen regardless of the era, genre or artist, - to have an open mind, and an open heart.

Today I've decided to share one of these songs everyday ... you never know the lyrics might just answer the question you are asking.

Here is a start ....




LOVE  being ... and be loving ......

Making Honey...

Fly far, seek truth, find your blossom, light upon it for a time, pollinate life that is the journey of the self, but bring home always your bounty, the tales of your flight; for what you collect and discover on your odyssey, nourishes the spirit and creates the story of us. Serving oneness is our purpose, not our plight.

Fear survives for me; bees alone, hoarding pollen dying

Love lives for we; a hive together, making honey thriving...

just LOVE...
