In the stillness, the silence, the darkness,
the infinite void between thoughts where space and time ends, I take
notice of my breath flowing in and out of my lungs, like the gentle warm
breeze through the trees, the solar wind blowing effortlessly
past the stars; in that moment of quiet intentional observation I know
that my breath, is the same breath that breathes life into all creation,
for it is the breath of God I share...
just LOVE...

LOVE demands absolute honesty within yourself that is why we fear,
have marginalized and attempted to diminish LOVE's power, because it
would require us to face the lies we tell our reflections; the
rationalizations that allow us to continue on destroying and consuming
without rhyme nor reason. Making human beings all but mindless zombies,
enslaved to their fear of seeing the truth of themselves.
LOVE asks only that we dig Infinity deep to find that truth...

How can we ever hope to find our true freedom in the truth, the
reality of LOVE when the vast majority have yet even awoken to the fact
that all is illusion, let alone that it is by their own fearful
ignorance that has they/we self imprisoned.
Fear does not give us control over the illusion we experience, it only blinds us to the true nature of its existence. Only LOVE and the enlightenment it brings gives us the wisdom, to walk the eternal path in happiness; the one thing over which is always in our control to be...

Nothing compares to LOVE, as LOVE exists
beyond the endless experience of duality in the infinite illusion called
creation. Therefore no one, no matter how many words used or pictures
painted can define LOVE, as to truly remember the truth of LOVE is to BE and know ONE; LOVE is the no thing, that is the way to and of everything... Infinity, God!

Once you reach the enlightened awareness in your experience of this
or any illusion that you would not only gladly, but joyfully surrender
your imagined physical shell, so that all life may continue to thrive,
you will have truly remembered the truth of the LOVE you are, the truth
of LOVE all is; this was the divine secret to being that all great
masters from Buddha to Jesus understood and knew. For life is a gift
created to be shared, thus completing ever the infinite circle...

It was faith in your choice born of LOVE that brought you to this
experience, it is that same faith in LOVE that will guide you back to
the path you chose to depart from once your experience is complete; in
an illusion that defies all reason to be and insanity is the rule, faith
in your instinct, to the rule of LOVE restores both your reason and
sanity...

Shadow does not manifest light, light manifests shadow, so to it must
be that it is the light of my LOVE that is casting the shadows of my
fear; remembered at last exhaled deeply the once sad, lonely young
woman.
And in that moment she awoke, her nightmares most vile and heinous, suddenly her dreams most glorious and beautiful, now realized.
The long shadow of fear she had cast and lived as real for so long was in reality pure only the light of her immense LOVE, her true self, there, just waiting for her to turn around; for even fear is a creation born of LOVE...

It has been said; all that in fact separates man from "beast" is that
supposedly he (or so he has mythologized) is the only creature in all
creation who is aware of his beingness, more importantly his death...
his transition from one state of being to another.
But that awareness has not led to him to higher states of being; no, it has in truth only led him to fear that which he has been gifted the awareness of; that being the infinitely unknowable and that fear of the unknown has crippled him on a spiritual level; stunting his ability to experience in eternal happiness his endless journey of soul.

For while he has gained the awareness that he was, he has forgotten
that life no matter how seemingly fleeting in this or any illusion it
may appear to be, it is always, in all ways to be loved, cherished and
shared, never feared, dishonored and hoarded.

Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live and she was always thinking that, in future, she might regret the choices she made now.
‘I’m afraid of committing myself,’ she thought to herself. She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none.
Even in that most important area of her life, love, she had failed to commit herself. After her first romantic dissappointment, she had never again given herself entirely. She feared pain, loss and separation. These things were inevitable on the path to love, and the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.” ~ Paulo Coelho, Brida

The
further one steps back in order to get full perspective of this
illusion filled with, humans, junkies to matter, the more you become
aware of how little of what they are doing actually matters at all. So
completely enthralled are they with their meaningless, pointless doings
in fear that they have forgotten almost entirely what they are meant to
be being in LOVE.
In fear they do only for their long suffering ego, being not the servants to all life, the caretakers of creation they were created to be; life in LOVE is an infinitely deep ocean, while life in fear is shallow, a mere reflection upon the infinite ocean's surface. One can only truly experience life as it was meant to be when they dive in, swimming down and down and down, ever down, never fearing to drown; elsewise the experience of life is just treading water trying not to die, drowning all one comes in contact with, as they in vainest vanity try only to keep themselves afloat.
Humanity for the first time in its history must stop now its mindless, senseless destructive doings and ask themselves; what they want to be? For if they do not they will be not much longer.
Humans must remember; they can do without being, but they cannot be without doing. And so it will follow if they decide what they want to be, the doing to be that will come naturally...

It has been said by many; that you can't help, those who do not wish to help themselves.
And it makes me stop to think; does most of the human species have any real desire to help themselves? As all evidence I witness both now and throughout history informs me; not really.
We do not, have not and will not become well, simply because too many in the collective have still chosen illness, as the experience they wish to have and no healer no matter how great in LOVE, can cure those forever wanting to be sick in fear...

It seems my lesson in this life, is that we as a collective want in
this illusion to be the way we are and perhaps always will; this
illusion then is not mine to heal and it is I that must choose another
that is already in LOVE well, as I no longer feel the need to experience
this self manifesting hell...
LOVE can only heal the willing; maybe I chose this experience to be reminded of that, I now am beginning to feel...
I challenge us all, with all the LOVE of my soul to prove that I am feeling wrong.

The Mona Lisa, smile so seductively sublime, does not question why
she has been painted upon the canvas so; layer after layer until
brushstrokes cannot be found, by the masterful hand, eye and imagination
of Da Vinci, for even if she could and did, what difference would it
make, still painted the way she was, is she. Or perhaps she does not ask
because she knows and accepts she was painted out of LOVE, created
solely for the sake of creating, for creation's sake.
Then perhaps so to it is with we, all infinite creation painted mysteriously by the mind of God, out of LOVE, created solely for the sake of creating and perhaps if our endless questioning of the why, without answer would cease, we could allow ourselves to just BE in LOVE; our self torment, torture ended and just like Mona Lisa we would smile knowingly as well...

As we are God, God is we
As we LOVE God, so God loves we
Lovers forever entwined for eternity
Walking hand in hand the endless, beginning-less, timeless path of Infinity...
As we are blessed by God for creating our being
So do we bless God by choosing to be created...
Proof of a consciousness greater than ours, God, is that before I was conscious I wrote this, before I was conscious I thought this, it was already conceived, it was already written, but even the greater consciousness, God, cannot know from whence it came; such is the true nature of the source that is Infinity, God, LOVE whose origin can never be known or found...
For how can there be an ultimate beginning when by definition Infinity, God, LOVE can have no beginning or end; for the greater consciousness that is, exists where time and space does not...
Therefore to be what in truth we are, LOVE, we must decide to be forever that truth; all else is illusion

Battling no more, surrendering the illusion
The warrior victorious laid down his arms
For it was against himself alone he has fought
Keeping LOVE away, it's truth he held at bay
Free once more, peace at last he remembers
Yes it is he thinks, laughing inside;
It is and has always been
That not fight, but surrender
Ends and wins all wars
Both without and within
He ponders ever more deeply...
In this illusion we have chosen to manifest for ourselves what most believe and perceive of as real is not and what is believed my most to be not real is; my LOVE is real, my fear for which I fought was not...

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.” ~ Khalil Gibran
