When this life hurts,
I mean when it really, really hurts,
know that you are where you are,
by His hand.
By His love,
His amazing love,
and by His grace,
His amazing grace,
He has allowed you to be ,
right in the very center
of that oh so painful situation.
His gorgeous knowing eyes,
smile lovingly at you
through each painful moment.
You see,
you’re on a path.
That path is taking you home.
Every time you feel pain,
it is just you,
resisting the path.
It is just you,
resisting His love,
His grace.
We are not wrestling with flesh and blood,
in these tough situations.
Don’t blame man.
Blame God,
or rather,
blame yourself
or…………..
don’t blame at all.
Just relax.
Trust!
Go with the flow.
It will be ok.
He loves you,
so stop resisting.
Learn the lesson
of surrender
and acceptance,
and move on.
Its ok.
You are loved.
Just trust.
Don’t blame.
Just let go, and enjoy the ride.
The sooner you let go
and stop trying to control everything,
the sooner it will all be over.
You are the one
causing your pain.
So…………
STOP!!!!!!!!!
TRUST IS THE TREASURE!!!!!
Find it.

Do you know which questions to ask?
Knowing which questions to ask,
is the key to all the answers,
to all the questions.
So,
ask these questions……..
Who am I?
Or,
What am I?
They are the same question.
Next,
What do I want?
Not,
what does my worldly image want,
but the I within.
The last question in this list,
is to ask in the midst of every interaction,
What do you want?
Just get each person to the point.
What do you want??????
Answers to all your questions exist.
They can be found in one place.
All answers,
to all your questions.
One place.
Only,
live in the midst of these few questions.
Just narrow down your complex image
of yourself,
to these few questions.
Just take them within.
And if someone comes along to interupt your introspection,
just ask,
What do you want?????
All of life is just this simple.
So my love…….
Who are you?
What do you want?????

ETERNAL MIND

WHAT THEN MIGHT YOU BE ABLE TO ACCEPT?
WHAT LIFE MIGHT THEN OPEN UP?
SO,
IT IS REAL,
RIGHT NOW!
YOU ARE NOT SEEN
THERE IS ONLY YOU

THE PERFECT OBSERVER

Somehow,
because I like women maybe,
God set me between two women.
Just like two wives.
For two years,
it was only in my heart,
to love them both.
To love all before me,
as God does,
loving all before Him.
So,
I represent God,
and these two women,
represent men of the world.
Men who want to play
as though they know love,
or know God.
Do you know why
men must SEEK truth?
Because man cannot
recieve truth.
It is too much!
It is not possible for him to accept
that God is that big.
That love is that big.
How can God love me,
and everyone else?
The priest and the postitute
both recieving equal love
from God.
How can that be?
Man without light,
is selfish.
Just like my two women.
One man cries,
God is mine.
He is only like this.
No one knows Him but me.
Another man says,
No!
But God is this way.
He is mine.
No one knows Him but me.
So,
God and truth,
are much better off,
alone.
Why?
When men fight to confine,
and own God,
they create support systems
of right and wrong.
These systems are called
religion.
Not true religion,
selfless,
but very demanding religion,
controlling,
selfish.
God must be controlled.
He must be contained.
Else He will not resemble
what I claim Him to be.
And only I am right.
So,
men must strangle God,
like two women
after only one man
They must conform him
to what their
support system
of right and wrong
believes.
So God cannot speak truth openly.
They would be offended.
He must wait over there,
somewhere,
alone,
with truth
to see whether
man really wants
to lay down his life,
for truth.
Like the two women.
Both say,
that they have laid down their lives.
But they have not.
These men,
or women,
only make sacrifices
of selfishness.
“I have left all.
I have sacrificed all.
I served you.
I never lived.”
And more,
and more.
They say,
they say.
So,
now,
and I mean right now,
be ONLY mine.
Be what I demand.
I cannot.
God cannot.
These demands
are like walls
without doors.
Nothing gets in.
Nothing gets out.
No room for truth here.
So God is only allowed
to whisper a little truth
from over there
somewhere,
alone.
To find God,
to know Him,
there must be risk,
full risk.
All the way to your very life.
Your last breath.
So,
although all claim to know love,
or to participate in love,
it is not true.
Love,
real love,
is at any cost.
Love,
is so selfless,
It is higher
than right and wrong/religion.
There are no handrails
with love.
No safety net.
Selfishness
cannot be protected
with love.
Love
is empty,
free.
There are no demands.
So,
the religious mind
is as the mind of a woman
for a man.
So God
and truth
must step aside,
hiding.
There is only one bridge
that crosses over
to God.
It is the bridge
of trust.
All control is set down.
All demands
are laid aside.
You must humble yourself
before your support system,
and say you were wrong.
Then,
step out alone,
alone.

Sit in silence.
You can sit anywhere you like.
You don’t have to sit with me.
The silence near me
isn’t any better
than the silence over there
or anywhere else
for that matter.
Sit where you want.
Are you paying attention
to the wind?
Watch it
in relationship
to your own level of depth.
It is like a moving secret
that carries with it
an intimacy with the infinite.
Love brings with it this sweet
caress.
The toy
is sitting still
in the corner of the room.
It is not demanding attention
yet the child
is compelled to look at it.
The toy
does not expect a decision
but the child considers.
Shall we play?
At the parade,
for only a moment,
the veil
slipped off the face
of the young princess.
As others scurried away,
a lonely beggar gazed in awe.
Then he approached the guard
offering his head.
No matter how thick
the wall is,
if we consider diligently
we can usually find a door
or a gate.
It is always there.
Or perhaps
you could go another way.
The end of a war
rarely means peace.
The brutal manipulation
just seems to be finished
and someone
gets their way.
All fear and limitations of any kind are only
perceptions. Every boundary is a matter of your
thoughts leading you around still. Stop. Let your mind
go where it will, but let it go there without you.
Thoughts are clouds in the sky. Quit following
them around. Stillness, stillness, stillness.
