To often we confuse lust with LOVE; but lust is but the craving of ever famished loins, while LOVE is the giving of endlessly overflowing hearts. 

Lust seeks only to quench its own desire, while love is the water that quells the thirst of the both the lover and the loved.

It has been said many time, in many tongues; that life is a thing that must be lusted after; this confusion, this misunderstanding of the Soul’s eternal need with the finite desire of flesh, has led us astray and is one, but not the only source of mankind’s decay. 

just LOVE…

Fear is hubris; the expectation of oblivion 
Love is humble; the experience of Infinity…

I am alone; this is the disease, the myth of fear we have been, doing, surviving in.

We are one; this is the cure, the truth of LOVE we must now accept if ever we wish to be, to live.

Look around you, this truth is self evident in everything in natural universe, except for us. Then ask yourself; is everything else in existence a lie in what it is being or am I?

Most say they believe and worship God in one way, one form or another and yet we disrespect God’s very nature; following instead our own unnatural path; am I missing something? I don’t think so…

So as I see it, we can either accept the truth we have been preaching of God for millennium or we can admit now; that we are lazy, cowardly, liars, that relish in our methodology of self-serving, self-destruction more than we value the very process and experience of life itself.

And which ever is chosen, I really don’t care, but let’s at least admit knowingly or unwittingly that we are all complicit in the charade, turned cancer that human civilization has become, as our continued denial of the obvious, is quite frankly, just boring.

Happiness is only a choice away…

just LOVE…

Teardrops and rainbows
Dragons and butterflies
Yesterdays and tomorrows
Hellos and goodbyes 
That’s what life is made of
Rain clouds filled with pain
If man into madness does not shove
Then already you’re insane 
But the choice always ours
Fear’s asylum, life in vain
Or oneness, LOVE’s eternal vow
Grateful to roam Infinity’s plain…

just LOVE…

Angel’s fly in skies that are clear of both the clouds of fear and hope; for how could there be a trace of fear for those beings who are only LOVE and what need of they hope when all they experience is the perfection that is; freed are the Angels from the bondage of the tortures and ecstasies of flesh…

just LOVE…

The truth of LOVE even once remembered still takes practice to fully accept, as it asks you to see all that you once thought you knew; now as lie, distortion, deception, ill conceived illusion and to find all that once you were taught as having great value; now as worthless toys, meaningless activity, hollow treasure, painted paper. 

Not all have always believed as all believe now and soon all will not believe as all believe now again…

just LOVE…

Love is ME, that is all and all you need believe, speaks God; her voice echoing silently through Infinity, you, me, we…

Let your thinking emanate from the heart, the seat of your eternal soul, so that your feeling of the truth of LOVE is uninfluenced by your mortal senses, experience the rhythm, the glory of life in its every divine, blessed beat; through your heart is the doorway to heaven; through your heart you embrace the all that is God; through your heart you are humbled by the knowing…

just LOVE…

Capitalism, consumerism, materialism an evil magician’s grand illusions of fear, but the secrets to the tricks are the manipulations and distortions of trust and LOVE. And just as an any magic show what you think you see, what think is real, is not; while the truth of LOVE is. 

Trust no more thinking of the brain; trust now instinct of the heart…

just LOVE…
