The Good News About Our Bad Situation...

Author: Kip Baldwin

The good news about the current bad situation our collective experiment of experiencing being as a terrified species of hoarding addicts has brought us too, is that in order to continue to be any experiment of this species in this experience of being, we must now experiment with being what we in truth are, a loving species of share junkies, as being that is what makes our hearts beat, the world go round, the stars shine, life's process process... all things be.

Symbiote or Parasite...

Author: Kip Baldwin

A symbiotic, sharing BEING of LOVE or a parasitic, hoarding non-being of fear, which would you rather BE or not be?

In Truth BE...

Author: Kip Baldwin

As he came again to remember fully the experience of LOVE'S oneness with all life, all creation, all Infinity, this experience of being human seemed a hollow, shallow, narcissistic facsimile of what it is to in truth BE.

Let Go, Let Go, Let Go...

Author: Kip Baldwin

Our only real control in any experience of Life we come to have is our choice, to LOVE or fear what IS; I chose LOVE, I then surrender...

Let go, let go, let go,
Lose your body, your flesh, your form
Regain your LOVE, your Spirit, your Soul...

“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.” ~ Eckhart Tolle

“Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. The world changes when we change. the world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world.” ~ Marianne Williamson

Just BE!!!

Author: Kip Baldwin

How could he have been so wrong? Screaming for season after season, to all that had ears that could hear and eyes that could read, "I am LOVE, we are LOVE!" But he had it completely backwards and upside down, for he realized suddenly, sitting at the river's edge, beneath the old willow, as the waters flowed gently by, the tree silently weeping and he in stillness pondered the infinitum of it all, "I am not LOVE, you are not LOVE, LOVE is me, LOVE is we, there is no I, there is no us." The answer to this or any experience yet to come was so clear, so simple. "Just BE!".

Humanity's Insanity...

Author: Kip Baldwin

If the human species won't LOVE one another, it most certainly won't LOVE all other life on Earth they need to thrive and if they won't live on in LOVE they certainly can't be mad enough to believe they can go on hating and continue to survive? But then again perhaps that mad they can be and only when they are gone will they bear witness to humanity's insanity -- LOVE ON, LIVE ON, HATE ON, DIE OFF... GET IT, GOT IT, GOOD!!!

Acceptance or Control: The Choice...

Author: Kip Baldwin

The choice before us is a simple one; acceptance or control...

Accept with grace what LOVE is and thrive joyously in BEING what we are or continue attempting, futility, insanely to control what LOVE isn't, surviving in the misery of what we are not, until we are soon, no more.

“But love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which
only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current. For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn't even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control.” ~ Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

If You LOVE Not the Life...

Author: Kip Baldwin

If you LOVE not the life of the most minute bacteria, as you would LOVE your mother, brother, sister, father, lover, then you LOVE and care for their and your own life not at all, as without all creatures small, there would be no creatures great, that is how deeply dependent and interdependent human life is to all other life, but the truth is this we need all other life, more than all other life needs us; this a fact our highly evolved ego has deluded the our species to forget.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

I Rage for LOVE...

Author: Kip Baldwin

I rage for you to remember the LOVE you ARE, not to save yourself from the inevitable light of your mortal illusion dying, but so that you may BE the eternal light of LOVE you in truth are; for BEING the LOVE you ARE, is your salvation.

Not Loving, LOVE...

Author: Kip Baldwin

When the experience of LOVE you are BEING, is not loved by the experience of LOVE you are BEING, the undeniable, impenetrable force of LOVE that is all that is, transforms from the source unification and creation, to one of fragmentation and destruction, for any experience of LOVE that you are BEING, cannot continue to be, where it is not loved by the experience of LOVE you are BEING, as you need to LOVE what you are the experience of BEING, to BE the experience the LOVE you are.

Letting Go Your Imagined Drop...

Author: Kip Baldwin

The more tightly you hold onto the things and experiences of matter that you are not, the more you close yourself off from the things and experiences of Soul and LOVE you are -- by holding on you slowing wither and die, by letting go you thrive and come to oneness with LIFE.

This is not a moral judgement of right or wrong, as the choice to BE what we are or what are not is always ours to experience, but if you are trying to attain the experience of pure spirit, of perfect LOVE and are frustrated by the flesh's wants and constraints, this is why.

Trust me when I tell you these words of remembering have come through deepest personal search and struggling and I know so many are searching and struggling to remember the same, I pray with all my heart that this sharing will help you too attain.

To remember I had only to embrace that I am both literally and figuratively NOTHING, NO THING, but LOVE -- thus these words come not from a me, but from the LOVE I am, you see.

Let go your imagined drop, you are LOVE's ocean of Infinity...

LOVE All Life, LOVE Ourselves...

Author: Kip Baldwin

Until and unless this experience of being human, LOVE's, cherishes and respects ALL LIFE more or at the very least as much as it pretends to LOVE itself (which is really not at all LOVE, but fear and false vanity disguised, as LOVE) there will be no more surviving, let alone thriving and evolving for them -- so to avoid the fate of being dismissed by this experience of life, this experience of being human, must first learn to truly LOVE itself, by remembering THE TRUTH that it is LOVE itself...

Oblivion or Utopia...

Author: Kip Baldwin

If being in LOVE is Heaven and being in fear is hell then we, collectively, are far close to being in hell than we are to being in Heaven, just as we are far closer to complete societal breakdown (again), this time oblivion, then we are to Utopia.

Failed Stewards...

Author: Kip Baldwin

The "I" that is Soul awake in LOVE, LOVES all life, but that does mean that "I" LOVES or even likes all that humans are being in this experience of life; that Soul, that is "I" awake in LOVE observes that it is not a matter of IF life would continue to be without man, but how much BETTER life would continue to be without man -- a most tragic observation of humankind's failure, as stewards of life's eternal process.

It is possible - as our experience in this good land shows - to exile ourselves from Creation, and to ally ourselves with the principle of destruction - which is, ultimately, the principle of nonentity. It is to be willing in general for being to not-be. And once we have allied ourselves with that principle, we are foolish to think that we can control the results.

The Philosopher's Noble Humble Burden...

Author: Kip Baldwin

The most challenging thing for a philosopher, thinker attempting to share their understanding of the absolute truth that is LOVE, that is Infinity, is that by the time the words of their thinking are even verbally shared with another, much less written and distributed, the thinking they have shared for them is already obsolete, as the philosopher who knows, knows that they ever know not, has already gained a greater understanding of the absolute truth of LOVE and Infinity -- there is however this one thing they know always; the edges, borders and dimensions of LOVE and Infinity can never be reached or defined, for such is the nature of THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH they are -- experience without end or beginning, the question without answer or point, except to BE how one chooses to BE each moment of BEING eternity -- always one step ahead, standing still, the blessed curse of being an understanding thinker, a knowing philosopher -- it is the burden of this truth, they nobly, humbly bear, as it is their honor to have been chosen, to choose to BE one with wisdom share.

"LOVE is BEING, as the no thing that is every thing would not BE any thing without LOVE; LOVE is the muse that inspired all that is infinite creation." ~ The Understanding Thinker, The Knowing Philosopher

Rejoicing in My Suffer...

Author: Kip Baldwin

I embrace and rejoice in the blessing of my suffering, for I now understand my suffering was a gift given to help others remember that the suffering of flesh is not real, that they are not the flesh that suffers, but the Soul, the spirit, that knows only eternal, abundant bliss, finding joy in every experience on this endless journey, they of LOVE in truth are -- for in the absolute truth of Infinity and LOVE, the Soul and spirit understand and embrace what this experience in flesh has difficulty conceiving; there is no suffering, only the perception of suffering, as creation's infinite masterpiece, life's never ending tapestry ever unfolds and unveils -- only LOVE and Infinity are absolute, without beginning or end, eternally permanent, all else is transient illusion within...

Insane Court Jesters, Are WE...

Author: Kip Baldwin

How truly mad must our species be that we choose, guided by our ego's delusions of control, to manifest artificial masks over and or to devour nature's magnificence and beauty, of which most is yet unknown to us, believing ourselves more grand than it, more grand than the universe, more grand than all creation, just because we have cobbled together a few tiny immediately crumbling facades of mountains and built puny things that go boom masquerading as stars, but the difference and why mankind's manifestations pale by such insignificant measure (as to be on a level of not worth making note) to that of Infinity's imagination, which from came the impenetrable opus called "Creation" we are experiencing as life, is man's works are founded in institutionalized fear, whilst Infinity's was, is and always will be sourced in LOVE.

We have devolved into insane court jesters, pretending foolishly to be that which we cannot even fathom the mind of....

There is Nothing to Prove...

Author: Kip Baldwin

We will have remembered we are one with LOVE, when we can feel in our heart, our soul, we have nothing to prove -- for with the remembering comes the understanding that in our infinite oneness with LOVE, we are all others and all others are we, so there is in truth no other, who or what, to prove anything to.

Disappear Into Oneness...

Author: Kip Baldwin

Perhaps, despite all he knew of LOVE and Infinity, he was still here, because like almost the others, he too was afraid he may disappear forever, as if he never were, but he knew in his soul of souls that in order to guide them from their long winter in demented misery, disappear from his fear into the oblivion embrace of oneness with LOVE and Infinity he must; for only by piecing the veil of between known and unknown will they find their soul family, their home in the boundless void of endless certainties manifesting at once...

Experience LOVE, Stop Expecting...

Author: Kip Baldwin

So long as we are expecting to experience life, we will never have the experience of life; only the expectation.

So long as we are expecting, to experience LOVE, we will never have the experience LOVE, only the expectation.

For you all you can experience while expecting is the experience of expectation, a feeling of hollow wanting that is never filled.

We do things without understanding how to BE, to try to fill the expectation of the experience we are wanting, when we need only allow ourselves to be to have the experience we truly need.

Doing without understanding how to BE the experience, is the expectation of the illusion of control of our moments.

Understanding how to BE, is letting go of the illusion of control to have experience of our moments without expectation.

You either expecting a thing or experiencing that thing, you can't BE both in the same moment.

BE the infinite experience of LOVE and life you are, stopping doing expecting to BE...
