So Simple. so simple, so SIMPLE, so hard

Truth, real truth, Truth with a capital "T" is sooooooo simple. What is it about the human mind that wants to make complexity the measure of truth? (I have an answer to that question - What is yours?) I have certainly spoken of this before, but this is so profoundly true as to bare repeating. I simply want to point out (once again) that there is only fear and Love. Each thought, each understanding, each experience, each moment can be seen in terms of whether we are operating out of fear (which... Sign in to see full entry.

Compassion from Three Spiritual Traditions

BE COMPASSIONATE Ye shall walk after the Lord your God" [Deuteronomy 13.4]. But how can a man walk after God who is a devouring fire? [Deuteronomy 4.24].

(Judaism, Talmud) Be kind to parents, and the near kinsman, and to orphans, and to the needy, and to the neighbor who is of kin, and to the neighbor who is a stranger, and to the companion at your side, and to the traveler, and to [slaves]...

A Quote from the Author of Waking Down

The Daily Quote from Mutuality.Net Inspired by the Teachings of Saniel Bonder Really accepting that the Divine has come into incarnation as a human being (YOU!) means that you embrace this life that mysteriously shows up day after day.

If we goof up, we can learn from our mistake and move on. God has created NO JUNK. You are a beautiful,... Sign in to see full entry.

At this time in history, we... Sign in to see full entry.
