One Path to Healing...

He had long raged against the injustices and heinous atrocities he saw committed man on fellow man, man on Mother Earth and suddenly he realized that the stones of self-righteous anger he was hurling were striking himself firmly between his own eyes and he knew in that moment there was only one path for humankind to begin their healing, only way for them to start anew, "You must forgive yourself, to LOVE yourself and more than this you must forgive and LOVE yourself that you may forgive and LOVE another."

just LOVE...

Intention and Potential...

Understanding intention is the key to unlocking LOVE's potential, whatever you may choose that to be; if your intention is toward oneness and being LOVE will bring you joy, if your intention is toward separation and having then LOVE will bring you sorrow...

Tumult or Harmony...

LOVE is all there is, experience it as you will; tumult or harmony the choice is always ours; I choose harmony and if in this illusion with intention I cannot manifest, then this illusion I choose not at all. For if most agree LOVE in harmony is vital to the success of our being in this illusion, then with some claim to sanity, can anyone tell me how the way we treat one another and all other life makes any sense at all; if you can you are either a sociopath, wildly delusional or one with an almost superhuman ability to rationalize or perhaps a combination of all three.

The Embrace of Mother...

As we once again embrace the LOVE of the all Mother, the Divine Feminine returns and there is found the lost humanity of man.

"Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning tears of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore, by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me."
~ Edgar Allan Poe

Rapture Ongoing...

The preacher screamed bombastically at the top of his lungs, "The rapture is upon us!" As if it were a threat not a blessing, but the young man wearing his Sunday best, sitting the middle pew, so the preacher could not see the gears of his wandering mind pondering, "Perhaps the rapture is an event ongoing, with those who awake choosing being and loving, over doing and having, simply disappearing from this illusion, but leaving no trace of ever having been, so as to cause no suffering or imprints of footsteps to follow in their wake, as each soul's journey is its own and it's freewill to return to flow, to oneness must be their own without influence of the awakening of the others?" 

"And certainly the departures of the souls, the spirits that come back to knowing are never events to be the source of pain or misery for those who still choose to be the ones that stay behind." the young man's mind convinced wandered on.

just LOVE...

To BE Ego-less...

Life is an illusion, death doubly so
Only the mask of ego dies; the want of having
Setting the spirit free in truth to be
LOVE is as ego-less, as Infinity...

Being Versus Having...

She thought as the gateways to her perceptions and intentions expanded her awareness ever widening, into the infinite shared consciousness, "That the death of her, gone as if she never was, was the end of her giving LOVE, getting LOVE, having LOVE and the return to source, being LOVE" As she had at last awoke, weary of her ego fueled addiction to this illusion, she became the experience.

That I May Rise...

Shake me please
that I may rise
from this illusion chosen
but aware now
is but a broken dream
from which I must awake
To the truth of LOVE
now remembered
Eternities of joys and bliss await
if only to the absolute real
Infinity...
My spirits eyes
again may be greeted
My spirit's heart
again may be filled


The shadows kiss was sweet
but light's embrace divine

just LOVE...

Home is Where the LOVE is...

As he lay in the stillness and silence of the moment infinite, the realm of spirit, where everything was happening all at once, an old adage leaped into his now unified consciousness, "Home is where the heart is." and he that was no longer a he, but the WE mused, "It could just as easily be, 'Home is where the LOVE is.' Since LOVE is the all the ways that lead home and home is the all ways, that appear to be infinite many, that converge to be one. LOVE is that one way, that is the one home."

The Stone and the Ripples...

The Druid Princess red curls falling, glistening in the summer sun, her light white gown billowing in the breeze, emerald green eyes sparkling, starring intensely, bare feet, toes curling clutching the wet grass, as she hurled the flat stone, skipping it across the once smooth surface of the pond, now exploding with ripples and she mused, "The rock is LOVE, the ripples are life and while life is a precious gift, LOVE is even more, for without LOVE there is no life." She merrily pondered further, "LOVE is the cause and life the effect; LOVE's energy had lain with Infinity's information and from their divine union was born life, was birthed creation."

just LOVE...

The Age of Delusional Certianty...

Mankind is moving from a age of delusional certainty, a belief system that informed them that while they did not know yet the answer to everything that soon they would. Into an age of confusion; the age of we, not me; of question, not answer; of how we are, not why and what we are; understanding, not judgement, an embracing of the unknowable, of the flawed perfection that all is, which in doing so will allow them to begin to understand that not knowing, is to truly know, to become wise.

They are remembering that in these illusions of experienced duality, glorious creations of divine comparison, nothing is ever what it seems, heroes are not always heroic and villains are not always villainous.

Accepting that it is only the oneness with LOVE and Infinity that is truth; wearing the white hat, riding the white horse...

The Blissful Pursuit of Happiness...

Though I know all that the absolutes of LOVE and Infinity are, I also know that so long as I am but an imagined part separate from the absolute oneness they are and must be, I can and will never BE all that LOVE and Infinity is, nor can I or will I ever even begin to comprehend fully what in truth that knowing means, but that takes away from and changes not one iota, my knowing of what the absolutes of LOVE and Infinity are.
The only way I know, to truly BE infinitely in LOVE, is to embrace our innate, eternal and absolute oneness with the beginningless, endless moment, all else is the experience of life, of creation, I feel, being played as a frivolous game and for me, I know this for sure; LOVE is not a game and the pursuit of blissful happiness is not trivial.
I do not strive to be known or remembered, for those are the pursuits of ego. I seek only for the time I am here (pretending to be a me) to share what is shared with me, so that those that come after may find in their experience, blissful happiness.
just LOVE...

Ego the Anithesis of LOVE?

Some folks think that it is hatred or fear that is the antithesis to LOVE, but I think perhaps it is ego, that then uses the delusions of conceit and lust, as false substitutes for real LOVE of self and genuine passion and compassion for others.

Three Things I Know...

The three things I know for sure...

First: I know what Infinity is, but I know that I can comprehend what, it, in truth is, not at all.

Second: I know what LOVE is, but I know that I can comprehend what, it, in truth is, not at all.

Lastly: I know that I am innately, eternally, absolutely a part of both Infinity and LOVE and therefore, I know I can comprehend the truth of what I am, not at all.

What I know, informs me of the truth that I know nothing; hence in accepting my forever not knowing, I know.

The answer to happiness, bliss, peace in being, lies not in knowing why you are being or knowing what you are being, but in choosing how you are being, while you are being any of your infinite incarnations of why and what...

Water is to... as LOVE is to...

Oshalla (her ancient tribe's word for LOVE) the young fair Indian princess, lapped like a thirsty lynx water from the crystal spring her long red black hair wetted as she drank. After she finished swallowing all she needed of the spring's life giving elixir, she sat back looking at her beautiful reflection flicker and wave, in time with the sunlight dappled and rippling surface of the serene little pool and as she gave thanks for the abundance of the moment, a sacred thought came to her, "Water is to the mortal body, as LOVE is to the immortal soul".

Off with their heads...

War as a means of conflict resolution is acceptable only to cowards who call themselves leaders, but that lack the courage, imagination and moral compass, to find solutions sourced from LOVE, understanding and sharing, rather than fear, division and greed; he thought, as he watched again for times to many to count, the little kings gathering their valiant, but innocent soldiers to die, while screaming like giddy school boys, "Off with their heads!".

Humanity And Philanthropy

With each passing moment, as the LOVE that is his immortal spirit replaced the fear that had become his mortal human body; being human, he wondered, what does that mean if humans have lost their humanity, the connection to the soul of their collective as a species, philanthropy?

Surrender to Acceptance...

If one doesn't with soul level instinctual intention, determine what in each experience they are meant to be in LOVE in service to life, then in fear will they be drug through that experience of life in what will seem like an endless series of meaningless doings, believing, but not knowing, attempting vainly control, never allowing surrender to acceptance...

Eternal Loneliness...

"If given the choice between an eternal, permanent death or an experience of life devoid, absent of LOVE, he would choose immediately to rush eagerly to the highest cliff and leap joyfully into the embrace of his forever demise." he thought, as he sat trembling in his bed soaked with sweat and tears having just awoke from the worst of all bad dreams, the most horrific of nightmares; that of a creation where LOVE did exist, only an infinite shadow of endless loneliness, where the only voice echoing in the timeless space less void was his own. Then he thought, trembling and weeping on, is what reality would be like if ego reigned supreme.
