On Desire

Henry David Thoreau, a man of courage and fortitude, expressed his simple philosophy in this statement on desire: 'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.' It does not matter what others think. Live for yourself, and you will have more love in your heart for... Sign in to see full entry.

Infinite Love

Love has no beginning and no end. It is boundless, without limitation, and all-emcompassing. It can be shared and experienced, but not hoarded and stored. Its enigmatic nature allows it to expand and grow as it is given away. How can the human mind grasp such a thing? Perhaps, by denying what love... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunrise Laughing

Divine wisdom comes to all who wait, and choose to set aside the temptation to manipulate the reality that is seen. Nothing in this world has the ability to hurt. Hurt is chosen through wanting. Chase after pleasure, and the power to hurt has been granted. One cannot exist without its opposite, for... Sign in to see full entry.

You Are Never Alone

Filling yourself with things is a reaction to a belief. This belief is that there is lack, and need. Yet, isn't it strange that the more is had, the emptier and more hollow the feeling of lonliness becomes? It is indeed hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom, for the kingdom is within. Being...

The Promise

My child, I cannot promise you a life free of pain. I cannot make the promise that I will always know what is best. I also cannot promise that I will fulfill my highest vision of myself. What I can promise is that I will try my best to be honest with you. I will tell you when I don't know, and we... Sign in to see full entry.

And Two Became One

We are born into a dreamland-a place where there appears to be many different things, and multiple choices. From these choices come experiences, and then the reflection. Keeping that reflection and believing it to be real is the world of duality. In the Bible it talks about the first man and woman... Sign in to see full entry.

Rarefied Whisper

There is a part of us that is secure, unchanging in its purpose, and steady in its application. It knows the way, and patiently and persistently knocks. It is the rarefied whisper of the soul. The chatterings of the mind and desires of the body mute this lovely song. It takes discipline and a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Source

Many choose to carry around the strange belief that we, not God, created ourselves. How could God create pain, suffering, and the feeling of being lost and afraid? The truth is that we choose it, by our belief that we are here to figure everything out and fend for ourselves. When we look to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Rising Above the Battleground

That the world is deeply immersed in conflict is apparent; to think that this conflict is inherent and unavoidable is an assumption based upon observing the effects, and judging them to be causes. Our society is based upon reacting to separation and conflict. All solutions and plans for peace and... Sign in to see full entry.

Seventy Times Seven

I'm no bible scholar. Ariala, Cantey, and Justsouno astound me with their learning. But, for me a few bits and snatches of Jesus' teaching have remained with me, from early in my life. I think that even though I was fiddling, dozing, and looking at girls, the words planted themselves in my heart.... Sign in to see full entry.
