In the stillness, the silence, the darkness, the infinite void between thoughts where space and time ends, I take notice of my breath flowing in and out of my lungs, like the gentle warm breeze through the trees, the solar wind blowing effortlessly past the stars; in that moment of quiet intentional observation I know that my breath, is the same breath that breathes life into all creation, for it is the breath of God I share…

just LOVE…

LOVE demands absolute honesty within yourself that is why we fear, have marginalized and attempted to diminish LOVE’s power, because it would require us to face the lies we tell our reflections; the rationalizations that allow us to continue on destroying and consuming without rhyme nor reason. Making human beings all but mindless zombies, enslaved to their fear of seeing the truth of themselves.

LOVE asks only that we dig Infinity deep to find that truth…

How can we ever hope to find our true freedom in the truth, the reality of LOVE when the vast majority have yet even awoken to the fact that all is illusion, let alone that it is by their own fearful ignorance that has they/we self imprisoned.

Fear does not give us control over the illusion we experience, it only blinds us to the true nature of its existence. Only LOVE and the enlightenment it brings gives us the wisdom, to walk the eternal path in happiness; the one thing over which is always in our control to be…

Nothing compares to LOVE, as LOVE exists beyond the endless experience of duality in the infinite illusion called creation. Therefore no one, no matter how many words used or pictures painted can define LOVE, as to truly remember the truth of LOVE is to BE and know ONE; LOVE is the no thing, that is the way to and of everything… Infinity, God!

just LOVE…

“Is the god the source, or is the god a human manner of conceiving of the force and energy that supports the world? In our tradition God is a male. This male and female differentiation is made, however, within the field of time and space, the field of duality. If God is beyond duality, you cannot say that God is a “He.” You cannot say God is a “She.” You cannot say God is an “It.” (18)” ~ Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

Where there is confusion, complication, competition, separation, war, fear, limitation there is the lie of flesh, of death, of man

Where there is clarity, simplicity, collaboration, oneness, peace, LOVE, Infinity, there is the truth of soul, of life, of God…

just LOVE…

Once you reach the enlightened awareness in your experience of this or any illusion that you would not only gladly, but joyfully surrender your imagined physical shell, so that all life may continue to thrive, you will have truly remembered the truth of the LOVE you are, the truth of LOVE all is; this was the divine secret to being that all great masters from Buddha to Jesus understood and knew. For life is a gift created to be shared, thus completing ever the infinite circle…

It was faith in your choice born of LOVE that brought you to this experience, it is that same faith in LOVE that will guide you back to the path you chose to depart from once your experience is complete; in an illusion that defies all reason to be and insanity is the rule, faith in your instinct, to the rule of LOVE restores both your reason and sanity…

just LOVE…

Shadow does not manifest light, light manifests shadow, so to it must be that it is the light of my LOVE that is casting the shadows of my fear; remembered at last exhaled deeply the once sad, lonely young woman.

And in that moment she awoke, her nightmares most vile and heinous, suddenly her dreams most glorious and beautiful, now realized.

The long shadow of fear she had cast and lived as real for so long was in reality pure only the light of her immense LOVE, her true self, there, just waiting for her to turn around; for even fear is a creation born of LOVE…

It has been said; all that in fact separates man from “beast” is that supposedly he (or so he has mythologized) is the only creature in all creation who is aware of his beingness, more importantly his death… his transition from one state of being to another.

But that awareness has not led to him to higher states of being; no, it has in truth only led him to fear that which he has been gifted the awareness of; that being the infinitely unknowable and that fear of the unknown has crippled him on a spiritual level; stunting his ability to experience in eternal happiness his endless journey of soul.

The question is not; what’s LOVE got to do with it?

The question is; what’s it that LOVE doesn’t have something to do with?

And the answer is; there is nothing that LOVE does not have something to do with…
