Is there one among us who would not give all their gold, for a moment, in their arms, their loved ones one last chance to hold?

Now ask yourself; Of what does life’s true worth consist? Of what it is the value LOVE that no being can long resist?

The answers for me are these…

Life’s true and only worth; is the LOVE given and LOVE returned.

And love’s value is beyond measure of any paper, stone or metal, hoarded treasure…

just LOVE…

“When we say, then, that pleasure is the end and aim, we do not mean the pleasures of the prodigal or the pleasures of sensuality, as we are understood to do by some through ignorance, prejudice, or willful misrepresentation. By pleasure we mean the absence of pain in the body and of trouble in the soul. It is not an unbroken succession of drinking-bouts and of merrymaking, not sexual love, not the enjoyment of the fish and other delicacies of a luxurious table, which produce a pleasant life; it is sober reasoning, searching out the grounds of every choice and avoidance, and banishing those beliefs through which the greatest disturbances take possession of the soul.” ~ Epicurus 341 B.C.-270 B.C.

Love Loneliners…

Fear is to denial, complication and quagmire, as LOVE is to acceptance, simplicity solution…

LOVE; Life Overcoming Vanity to Evolve…

Ascension is remembering in every moment to LOVE more and fear less…

just LOVE…

Let go your finite expectations of what LOVE and life should be and surrender to the infinite experience of what LOVE and life is; give up your illusions of control and allow yourself to freely flow, to soar; for we are like baby birds pecking our way out, bit by bit, cracking through our shell of fear, so that we may one day emerge, to fly free on wings of our eternal bliss, through the endless skies of LOVE…

just LOVE…

“As spiritual searchers we need to become freer and freer of the attachment to our own smallness in which we get occupied with me-me-me. Pondering on large ideas or standing in front of things which remind us of a vast scale can free us from acquisitiveness and competitiveness and from our likes and dislikes. If we sit with an increasing stillness of the body, and attune our mind to the sky or to the ocean or to the myriad stars at night, or any other indicators of vastness, the mind gradually stills and the heart is filled with quiet joy. Also recalling our own experiences in which we acted generously or with compassion for the simple delight of it without expectation of any gain can give us more confidence in the existence of a deeper goodness from which we may deviate. (39)” ~ Ravi Ravindra

If ever LOVE is to rule the day, the challenge of our addiction to the temptations of matter must be recognized and conquered; for it is the ego centered delusional nature of this relationship to the fantasy of flesh and stone that keep us from being the truth of the spirit and Soul…

just LOVE…

Heaven is on the other side of that feeling you get when you’re sitting on the couch and you get up and make a triple-decker sandwich. It’s on the other side of that, when you don’t make the sandwich. It’s about sacrifice…. It’s about giving up the things that basically keep you from feeling. That’s what I believe, anyway. I’m always asking, “What am I going to give up next?” Because I want to feel. ~Jim Carrey

In LOVE life is a shared experience of being ONE with all, this is the experience of the soul. Without LOVE, life is a selfish experience of being apart from all, this is the experience of the ego.

ME is not ME, I is not I; I and ME are WE and WE are ONE with INFINITY that is the absolute true truth of our BEING in LOVE…

But the ONE is not a number, but the quantity of all INFINITY; therefore beyond any measure of space, time, energy, matter, it is unformed data, from which intention manifests experiences of infinite realities, it is where numbers circle back on themselves, meeting at a point that is neither negative nor positive, but fractions endlessly dissolving to POINT ZERO; the source of all LOVE’s imaginings, the birth place of consciousness. Imagine for LOVE and it will BE…

just LOVE…

Addicts warned of the dire consequences of their continued abuse, have two choices; continue on with the behavior that is harming them, their loved ones and their tribe by extension or find their purpose, their reason for life, embracing it with all their heart and soul. If the former is chosen most likely the addict will cease being to this experience of life, but if the latter they choose, their doors of perception will be swung wide and their intention for being will become clear.

We as a species stand at that crossroad of addict choices and we have been warned; now it is up to us to choose to serve our purpose in life’s process or be no more in this experience. This is not a judgement of right or wrong, just an observation, a statement of truth based mankind’s junkie like behavior both present and historical.

LOVE is the only fix I need, what say you my fellow tribe called man; a round on me?

just LOVE…

The albatross could never fly free the skies and seas if trapped behind bars of cage of its own making; nor can we ascend without restraint to love’s infinite potential while feeling real, remaining prisoners of this illusion of matter we are shaping.

“Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.” ~ Voltaire

I would rather a single moment, happy, no matter how brief, having borne witness to the transcendent beauty of LOVE and then be no more self, returning to absolute oneness Infinity; than be forever blind, suffering, an immortal ego, vainly spending all eternity in the grotesque ugliness of fear.

just LOVE…

LOVE is not the fleeting ecstasy of orgasm, nor is LOVE the empty misery of the moment after climax; LOVE is the feeling of bliss you pray you could stay cocooned in forever that comes before; both feelings of ecstasy and misery are illusions cast by the body while standing in love’s shadow, bliss is our Soul’s truth that lies at love’s core…

LOVE is the one and only law of Infinity and the law of LOVE is incontrovertible and undeniable; without LOVE there would be no other laws, not the laws physics, not laws of nature and most certainly not the laws of man; for without LOVE there would be nothing at all, no space above or Earth below, no time, no you, no me, not even fear; such is the absolute nature of the law of LOVE…
