LOVE is an endless river flowing ever from now to now to now, to Infinity, the boundless ocean, the impenetrable whole, flowing, connecting experience to energy, energy to matter, matter to spirit, spirit to soul, soul to God...

We cling to things in the past and cling to things in the present...Do you want to enjoy a symphony? Don’t hold on to a few bars of the music. Don’t hold on to a couple of notes. Let them pass, let them flow. The whole enjoyment of a symphony lies in your readiness to allow the notes to pass..."

The master of LOVE, Soul, what IS, is the master I choose NOW to serve -- no longer to the master of fear, matter, what is not, shall I be a slave, as torn between two am I content, not one moment more to suffer...

LOVE not only gives us the strength to pick up the pieces and put back together the shattered mirror that can be our lives, but it also gives us the strength to forgive the pain born rage of the shatterer.

We are but receivers picking consciousness' endless myriad of manifestations of LOVE'S infinite symphonies of creation, blessed with the gift of intent, tuning in the manifestation we choose to have the experience of being -- the key to becoming fully aware is remembering that while you are not maestro of the opus or even the programmer of the station sending out signals of the songs that are playing, you are though the one choosing the specific song you are tuning into - God is to the composer, as consciousness is to the broadcaster, as we are to the stereo in our living room...

Heaven is not a physical place, in the realm of matter, it is a way to BE the experience of LOVE you are, the true self is, as is hell and everything both imaginable and not, in the infinite between -- the endless choices being manifested by consciousness of how to BE, are always ours to make...

Before forgiveness can be granted that LOVE'S healing may begin, we must stop wounding ourselves intentionally with fear -

Remember; LOVE is to abundance, as fear is to scarcity...

Western civilization; the latest, most heinous and vile incarnation of the human species with its insatiable, ceaseless devouring capitalism, founded in it's religions of fear, lie, hypocrisy and separation, is in every moment an insult to my conscious awareness of my Soul of LOVE, as it is the antithesis to life itself -- it is all history's prophecies of annihilation and Apocalypse we are manifesting, making true, but if we choose we can undo, redo, make anew.

Extinction by oil, terror and greed -- oh what a crude way to meet one's fate. Will we let this our epitaph be? If so, what a waste of awareness, of life, of LOVE.

Wake up the age of LOVE'S wisdom is NOW!!!

What supposedly sets the human species apart from all others is their much vaunted awareness of self -- but other than spending much time and effort examining and explaining their reflection -- they do not seem to understand that what makes this awareness of such great and unique value -- is that they alone, have within their grasp the ability to make the conscious choice as to whether they thrive giving in LOVE or become extinct hoarding in fear -- as most if not all other species evolution or lack thereof is random luck of the draw -- with some working organically together like ants that all may succeed, while others become parasitic or cannibalistic, devouring themselves into no longer being -- like, oh say; man...

"It’s the fault of course, of our philosophy of life; and our philosophy is the inevitable byproduct of a language that separates in idea what in actual fact is always inseparable. It separates and at the same time it evaluates. One of the abstractions is ‘good,’ and the other is ‘bad.’ Judge not that ye be judged. But the nature of language is such that we can’t help judging. What we need is another set of words. Words that can express the natural togetherness of things. Muco-spiritual, for example, or dermatocharity. Or why not mastonoetic? But translated, of course, out of the indecent obscurity of a learned language into something you could use in everyday speech or even in lyrical poetry. How hard it is, without those still non-existent words, to discuss even so simple and obvious a case as Ruth’s! The best one can do is to flounder about in metaphors. ~ Aldous Huxley Wikipedia: Aldous Huxley

Children are the ones, for those who have remembered LOVE'S truth, whose souls we must nurture and protect, for they are the shared future (if there is to be one) of man, animal. plant, sky, earth, water, space and time - as most who have grown to adulthood, hearts are to hardened and spirits to broken, to truly accept LOVE'S truth, let alone have the will it takes to live it out and change their ways - the only hope for man is world seen and re-manifested through the open eyes, unbroken hearts and innocent spirits of a child...

"Your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their soul,
for their soul belongs in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness,
for even as he loves the arrow that flies,
so he loves also the bow that is stable."

~ Kahlil Gibran 1884 - 1931

Species may succeed for a time through fear and competition, but will in the end have only one winner, who ultimately will become extinct alone, while species that succeed through LOVE and collaboration, that all may thrive, will live on forever; in plainest terms what is good only for the me, most often not the best the we.

"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean." ~ Ryunosuke Satoro

Think back and remember feeling the anticipation of Christmas Morning, your heart filled with glee and wonder, as you eagerly awaited the surprises hidden in silly overly stuffed stocking hanging from mantel pieces above brightly burning fires and beneath pine trees wrapped in seasonally decorated paper. Then think of the disappointment on the Christmas when you snuck and connived to find out in advance what your gifts were; don't lie we have all done it at least once. What a sad morning, as everyone else was filled and thrilled with real surprise and wonder, you could only pretend, lest your deception be found out, thinking already to Christmas next. Never able to truly enjoy your new toys, because they had already lost their luster before the box was tossed, for in fact their newness never actually was.This however, is exactly how human's are behaving now, like spoiled children who had to know what was hidden under the Christmas tree before Christmas, believing arrogantly that we have found all gifts LOVE has left us beneath the tree of this Life. Already wanting to know what will be gifted us in Life next. But cheer up, there is still time to enjoy this Christmas Day as most of LOVE'S surprises beneath the tree of this Life have yet to be found. We must hurry though, because the hours of this Christmas Day grow short and these surprises, these gifts beneath tree of this Life must be found if we wish this Christmas Day to be prolonged. So stop shaking the box looking for clues to life next that you can never find, for they can never be known -- although I have no doubt that Christmas, Life next will be filled with as many divine surprises and glorious wonders of LOVE, as this. But if not isn't that all the more reason to cherish and care for this one more? Let us savor this Christmas Day, this experience of Life we are this moment, before like all the days after, all the Christmases before, all that is left of what once was a divine, blessed, glorious experience of being, is a dead dried tree, covered with fake snow and shards of shredded tinsel blowing in a cold winter breeze, laying on the asphalt, beside the curb, waiting for time to turn it to dust and with it, all memory that the day ever was...

"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises." ~ Leo Buscaglia

This is not meant to demonize anyone, but you must know this, the powers that have brought us to the brink of self imposed extinction, are aware of the truth to the catastrophe, havoc their products and systems have wrought and continue to work, even though they are also fully aware of the solutions to the monumental problems they have manifested for all.

So the question we must first ask first ourselves and then them is; Why?

Why continue to be as they are, when it is within their immediate power to first stop the wounding chosen irrational fear and then begin the healing with LOVE'S absolute wisdom?

Is it because they can't stop so great is their addiction to the illusion of control, that they would see all our children perish by their command, rather than stop?

Or is it because they won't because this is exactly the experience they wanted, want to have?

And if their answer is the latter, then the question becomes; Why would they want to annihilate us all?

For me, my facade of self personally, I don't really care, as I know that all this is nothing more than movie, than play, divine theater, none of it real (as I said including myself) just a drama masquerading as man, wearing the mask of flesh and ego, but for most of you this is real and you suffer as if it is so and that breaks the heart of the truth of what I am Soul, LOVE, as I truly, truly, truly LOVE you all more than you can possibly understand or know.

And so for our children's lives I beg, please, please, please believe in what you are, LOVE and ask them; Why?

While you/we manifest the Utopia, the Paradise, the Heaven of LOVE that is here NOW for you to grasp -- you only need remember!

“I will no longer mutilate and destroy myself in order to find a secret behind the ruins.” ~ Hermann Hesse

Abundance as defined by LOVE'S sharing, not by man's greed, is about having faith that you will always have what you need when you need it, but it does not mean having and hoarding, as much as you want, whenever you want it.

It has been said than man went astray when he began to believe that he could provide better for himself than God and whether you use the word God or nature; I believe this is true. For the moment man delusionally decided he needed to control life's process, in order that he could provide better for himself, better than nature's 4 billion year evolution and the universe's 13 billion year unfolding that allowed for him to be at all, was the moment he choose the path of lack, the trail of fear and tear, rather than of abundance, LOVE and joy. There is no other animal on the face of the Earth that has evolved to believe, they need that. The question then becomes; does that really make man more intelligent, more aware, than all other life on the planet or only more deluded and insane, due to our NOW institutionalized fear, driven by a false belief in lack of, lack of food, lack of time, lack of life, even lack of LOVE? Or is that fear of lack, that has driven us to madness and the brink of early demise?

"Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend...when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present--love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure--the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth."
~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

Are you ready, to admit that everything we have been taught about the truth of life and LOVE was entirely wrong, completely lie and are you willing to accept this moment the real truth of life and LOVE that you know in heart and Soul is beyond denial, as its proof that always was, you now can no longer suppress the memory of.

"As change is the order of Nature,

The false for the true makes way." ~ Alice Carey, "The Time to Be," c.1847

Isn't ironic that even now, as the reality of devastation, gluttony, genocide and conquer it has manifested reaches it long predicted demise, that still the word "success" is used to describe Western Civilization's, the zombie plague, march toward inevitable cannibalistic annihilation, when it is and always has been our species most insane failing, that is unless this is what it set out from its inception to accomplish, in which case it is indeed a success of the most grand proportions.

Or perhaps it was just easier to be in fear responsible to no one, the path of the lazy -- then to choose to be in LOVE where one is responsible to all, the path of the wise.

Witnessed through that lens then, it really isn't irony at all, as it is neither success or failure, but just plain old fashioned mindless stupidity and willful ignorance.

For to succeed or fail one must have thought a goal to reach or mission to accomplish and for Western Civilization, as far as I in this experience have been able to discern there never has been an ultimate goal or mission contemplated, anymore at least than that of a chicken running about with its head cut off.

If someone some day were to ask me; if I had to do this experience all over again would I? And I think sadly, unfortunately I would have to say; No! Because for me this experience of being has not only been like watching a beloved one agonizingly slowly, painfully, suffering die, but to actually feel them as they slip, terrified beyond all reason, into an inevitable oblivion they never remembered how to accept. So they hung on fighting surviving, never living, until from them the undeniable absolute that is Infinity their last breath stripped. And most tragically to know their ceaseless misery was almost entirely of their own desire.

Why is it that it is so much easier, NOW, for the human species, be they faithful or faithless to embrace an experience of scarcity, hate and war, than one of abundance, LOVE and peace?

As no one or no thing is making us experience what we are experiencing, other than us.

Is the idea that we could choose to be force of healing rather than harm, of solution rather than problem, of LOVE rather than fear, really so implausible for me to believe is within our ability to achieve?

If it is, than of this species I need no longer be, for my only purpose is to see life joyously, blissfully, thrive, as it is meant to and will regardless of mankind's outcome.

But why would any choose to share in suffering that is ego manifested and struggle that is ego willed?

But what I am I saying, speaking as if I had a choice as to be a part or not of humanities dance to self annihilation, as the choices made to experience how we are being, has made that choice for both those who are awake to LOVE's truth and those who still slumber in not remembering.

For together the collective known as man will rise or fall and I either way I am comfortable with that now, as this must be the experience we wanted to have.

I would ask one thing however, can we at least acknowledge consciously, honestly that we have chosen to experience fear and extinction, rather than LOVE and Utopia.  

As again this is the destiny, the fate we have visited upon ourselves, it is not one that has been visited upon us.
