Subtle, gentle, quiet is the way to the path of LOVE; peace of the soul, bliss of the spirit and the process of life cannot be forced…
just LOVE…

I think that it is very hard for us to fully comprehend that our eternal beingness, our immortality, is not the taking of one physical form forever, but as spirit taking on infinite forms and non-forms infinitely, always in LOVE, what you are as soul is as the LOVE that is you, limitless; that is why “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” it is not; if I die before I awake, I pray the Lord my body to take, but “I pray the Lord my Soul to take”.
just LOVE…

I don’t think there is anyway to calculate the number of words that have been used attempting, to define what LOVE is and what LOVE does. But fewer have been used to describe what LOVE absolute feels like; imagine being connected intimately with every other spirit in all creation simultaneously and sharing freely, openly with them each of their experiences, to put it as simply as possible the feeling of LOVE absolute is like having a first kiss with Infinity in every moment of eternity…
just LOVE…

Looking out into the infinite heavens, watching the stars slowly painting trails across the black canvas of space, the soundless voice spoke again to her, “To experience the rapture of LOVE absolute one must be pure of heart, to be pure of heart one must be fulfilling their purpose in nourishing life’s process.”
After the briefest pause that seemed to hold eternity within it, the voice that was silent continued, “That is the only choice you have, this is freewill to be, you are given, feed life with LOVE or consume life in fear.”
She knew in that moment of truth revealed that all she had ever really desired in the deepest depth of her soul of souls was to be pure of heart.
just LOVE…

LOVE every moment, for LOVE is every moment;

“Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.” ~ John Milton
Grabbing a bowl of popcorn in one hand and a box of tissues in the other his spirit self, the true self that was not he, curled up snuggling warm on the couch, reaching for the remote control he turned on the evening news (his favorite show). Oh how he loved these humans and their wonderfully mad self-destructive antics; he chuckled to himself.
He realized he had transformed, ascended; he was now spirit lovingly observing the experience of man, rather than body fearfully participating.
Spirit is I, Soul is I, God is I, Infinity is I, LOVE is I, matter is not; he now knew…
just LOVE…

As he grew from boy to man he was aware of a corruption overtaking his guileless spirit, he felt as if the impossible was happening, he felt as if he were losing LOVE and he knew finding it again was the only way his stolen innocence would be recovered.
just LOVE…

“I don’t have a philosophy: I have senses…
If I talk about Nature, it’s not because I know what it is,
But because I love it, and that’s why I love it,
Because when you love you never know what you love,
Or why you love, or what love is.
Loving is eternal innocence,
And the only innocence is not thinking.”
~ Alberto Caeiro
How stubbornly arrogant his ego to foolishly believe that it’s shadow, like a black hole devouring stars, could consume the light of LOVE that is infinite immortal Soul; just the thought made his spirit smile more widely than he could ever remember and he knew in that moment his ego-self must die if ever he were to find endless happiness and be truly eternally free…
just LOVE…

At such moments, one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable: life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only being.” ~ Albert Einstein
