Comes the fifth horseman of the apocalypse called LOVE... it is we brothers, sisters; the one remembered, made whole. Completed souls riding a rainbow painted pony, in peace, in truth, sharing endless golden fields of happiness, drinking from clear ever flowing rivers of God's wisdom. In life's infinite abundance again, at last we prosper, thrive and serve... it is now upon man, the bliss of our rapture!

just LOVE...

To seek life's sustenance and meaning in the ego's, the false self's wants of the deceptions of matter and time, is to try to quench a parched mouth's thirst from a glass filled with air.

Nay, to make whole the soul, the true self and experience life's purpose fulfilled, from the bottomless well that is LOVE divine we must drink and share...

just LOVE...

To truly be alive, to live life fully, the art of just being; like making LOVE, is at best when experienced slowly and with passionate intention; lovers taking time to explore every subtle nuanced expression and ecstatic response of the other; a collaboration between loving, giving, sensual partners, not as a competition, a mad dash, a race to finish; lovers running from one another, not falling sublimely, divinely into the others soul.

We should not experience lives, as self defined; rats racing,
but as the truth of what we are; lovers, in LOVE, humans being...

just LOVE...

"Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation." ~ Rabindranath Tagore

To be in fear, is to be in hell, held captive by the lies of the flesh; to be in LOVE, is to be in heaven, freed by the truth of the soul...

The truth of the soul, is the truth of LOVE, the truth of God; absolute blackness where all light is absorbed, quivering with creation's primal information and energies; all space and time coalesced into one, the singularity...

Being beyond the duality of the infinite illusions of fragmented matter; the need of experience of existing in comparison...

This is the truth of the soul, the truth of LOVE, the promise of God we are...

just LOVE...

"There is no god higher than truth." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

In LOVE our souls have always been
In LOVE our souls will always be

Such is the absoluteness of LOVE...

Beginning-less, endless, boundless;
Our soul's true nature

Measured and defined in space only by Infinity
Measured and defined in time only by eternity...

God's embrace

just LOVE...

I would rather be sick from feeling overwhelmed by LOVE; LOVE sick, than sick from feeling no LOVE at all; LOVE lack...

Aren't we tired of being sick from our imagined shortage of that which is infinitely abundant?

I am!

"God always takes the simplest way." ~ Albert Einstein

The individual ego in fear experiences life as only lonely; while the individual soul in LOVE experiences life as only one.

That is why in our crowd of seven billion fearful clamoring Is, I could not feel more alone and isolated; while alone in nature's quiet LOVE, I could not feel more whole and embraced.

Ego makes all experience absolutely vulgar:
LOVE makes all experience absolutely moral...

just LOVE...

The more in LOVE you remember the truth of what you are, the more the veils, the barriers of the illusion fall and the less and less the machinations and manipulations of mankind's narcissistic self delusions matter. Until you experience them as just shimmering nightmarish static of the not real, the not present intention, the absence of all but pathological feeling; white noise in the background of God's symphony of rejoicing Angels...

just LOVE...

LOVE, Infinity, God in their absolute oneness appear black as deepest space, not because they are not light, but because in fact they are all light, all color, all at once and we like the Sun, the moon, the stars are but the tiniest shards of their omnipresent, eternal radiance...

Live bright;
LOVE brighter...
Shine!

Clear waters running
The stream carries dreams
Forward and back
To the ocean of LOVE
The infinite source
The endless destination
An uncreated creator
Creating an uncreated creation
Abstract is the masterpiece
Dali's eyes melt as he weeps
Beauty too painful to behold
LOVE the price for the soul sold
I rest now, in peace
But not dead; to blissful slumber returned
The dream is not the illusion
And the illusion not the dream
I laid me down and prayed
LOVE, my Lord my soul to keep

just LOVE...
Kip Baldwin

LOVE is insatiable, fiercely ravenous;
endlessly, silently, without moving, devouring all creation,
until it is Infinity full and all is whole, until it is done and all is one…
LOVE I nourish, as LOVE nourishes I
just LOVE…

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.” ~ Mother Teresa

If there is any system or thing that by its very nature, its state of being, is in a perpetual state of war and dysfunction with itself and by extension life's process, continuing to exist only through constant manipulation, subversion and coercion. Rationalizing that it callously destroys, gluttonously consumes, is morally and consciously bankrupt "an enemy of LOVE" for the greater good; then not only should it not continue, it by its own acts of mad desperation ensures its own demise and ultimately extinction.

What makes mankind unique and confounding, is that we have the choice to have now and have had before a different nature, but we seem instead this moment conveniently comfortable, numbly resigned, to choose the nature of those systems and things that cannot be; a glitch, an anomaly that the laws of nature's order, the rules of cause and effect must correct, for balance, purpose and process to be maintained. And it will always be maintained.

This is an absolute in any illusion of time and matter one chooses to manifest... to be too long an enemy of LOVE is suicide.

just LOVE...

~ G.K. Chesterton

War is the illusion we imagined to protect ourselves from death

LOVE is the truth we remember that death is the illusion

War is to lust, a false mortal connection to life;
as LOVE is to the Soul's intimacy, the true eternal oneness with all living, breathing, flowing creation...

just LOVE...

“Real intimacy is a sacred experience. It never exposes its secret trust and belonging to the voyeuristic eye of a neon culture. Real intimacy is of the soul, and the soul is reserved.” ~ John O'Donohue

For war without to cease, war within I must abolish

For LOVE without to grow, LOVE within I must flourish

A slave to ego's lie no more shall I be
The ego must die, so that I true
Can resurrect; see, be free...

just LOVE...

Peace is not being just not violent, not at war.

Peace is having unconditional LOVE for yourself and all that is, both known and unknown.

Peace is the place of sublime bliss, comfort and empathy you find and share at the center of the stillness and the silence.

Peace is not fearing, but falling in LOVE with the infinite mystery...

just LOVE...

"The essence of nonviolence is love. Out of love and the willingness to act selflessly, strategies, tactics, and techniques for a nonviolent struggle arise naturally. Nonviolence is not a dogma; it is a process." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Can one have love? If we could, love would need to be a thing, a substance that one can have, own, possess. The truth is, there is no such thing as love.Love is an abstraction, perhaps a goddess or an alien being, although nobody has ever seen this goddess. In reality, there exists only the act of loving. To love is a productive activity. It implies caring for, knowing, responding, affirming, enjoying: the person, the tree, the painting, the idea. It means bringing to life, increasing his/her/its aliveness. It is a process, self-renewing and self increasing. from To Have or to Be?
~ Erich Fromm

Heaven is experiencing life, as the joy of spirit, the peace of soul, the LOVE we are; all we must do to unlock the gates of pearl and BE... is remember without doubt.

Lonely star sparkling ever bright,
High against black canvas of endless night

The light you shed never disappears
Know that you are not alone;
Your LOVE light beaming guides me home
Sharing the divine, shining grace
Eternal lovers roaming time and space...

“What Is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul” ~ Victor Hugo

It will and has never come our return to paradise through chaotic, pointless doings, scurrying about cleaning up haphazardly the messes we've made, attempting to fix randomly all that we have broken. The only way we can return to and restore the perfect garden we chose to leave, is by changing our way of being; stop doing in fear, selfishly accomplishing nothing and start BEING, sharing in the LOVE, the foundation of everything.

Doing without first deciding what you are meant to BE, is to breathe in air that has no oxygen and other exercises in futility.

just LOVE...

LOVE like God and Infinity, is both space-less and timeless, but also like God and Infinity is all that spacetime is and isn't.

LOVE, God, Infinity is the divine, sublime, holiest trinity; the three that are one, the one that is zero, the one that is without beginning or ending, the one that is beyond definition or comprehension, the one that can never be found, but is always surrounds, the one that we are and are not.

Surrender, accept, BE; the one that is all that can never be known, the one that is eternally our destiny.

Our choice is our intention, our intention is our manifestation; choose wisely, choose LOVE, just LOVE...

The heart, our body's connection to the soul, is a furnace fueled by LOVE whose heat is life's essence.

just LOVE...

"The lover is a monotheist who knows that other people worship different gods but cannot himself imagine that there could be other gods." ~ Theodor Reik

When I surrendered to LOVE, I became not its prisoner, as I was a slave in fear's war, but freed at last to the eternal peace, that is LOVE's infinite, Infinity...

LOVE is the very best thing in life that's free; this enlightened lovers know; LOVE that is caged, controlled, attempted to be owned, is not LOVE, but beastly, animal, perversion.

Set free your LOVE, set free your soul...

just LOVE...

“I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free.” ~ Charles Dickens

The last rainbow shattered
This world of matter torn and tattered
Man's LOVE having lapsed
Time here having passed;

For gone is rainbows shelter
From our demon's helter and skelter
Man's guardian from sorrow
God's promise of morrow

The last rainbow shattered,
To the wind and whim of Infinity
Man, who forgot LOVE;
Blown, fragmented, scattered...

just LOVE...

The ego would rather kill us in our sleep smothering us with pillows of fear, suffering and misery, than allow us the peace of LOVE and the joy of giving; for that reason, as if there need be other, the ego, the false self must die, so we may end our surviving and begin our living. And how shall we slay this foulest demon, ego, by embracing it fully with humility, thankfulness and the true power found in forgiving.

To forgive it has been said; "is to (give) room (for) healing".

We must give ourselves that room to heal, if ever we hope to truly live...

just LOVE...
Kip Baldwin

This experience in the flesh false, is a one night stand with a stranger; while the experience of our soul true, is making love to that which we are eternally wed.

The lie of lust may give briefest moments of imagined ecstasy, but truth of love gives forever fulfillment, lasting peace...

the soul of genius."
~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The sun kisses night fond adieu
Choirs of songbirds sing praise to the dawn
A stream rain nourished rushes gently by
The breeze caresses morning dew from leaves on trees
While giveaway eagle gobbles out the day's greetings;

Life abundantly abounds
LOVE saturating surrounds
Alive my soul thrives...

just LOVE...
