Kindness demands that we feel



Kindness demands that we feel.  Compassion demands that we feel.  Love demands that we share. 

We no longer must do that through pain and suffering.  We must go as God into the realms of personality and bring the light that says, I do not judge, I do not crucify, I do not mete out pain and suffering.  I forgive.   

And when that part of us, disheveled, sad, lost, finally believes those words, shall we know peace.

We speak so little of children



We speak so little of children.  They are the connection between God and adulthood, the mystic and the practical mind.  Children, in their holiest element, are living joy.  They want so much for love, understandably so, because they left a realm where love was all there is.  

Perhaps it is too much to ask of you to remember what it was like when you were a child.  Or deeper still, when you entered the body that is now yours.  Most likely it was shocking to go from infinity to a limited perspective, extremely limited.

The Master says we must be as a child to enter heaven.  That means simply that we must drop our own pretense, our grandiosity, especially our fear and worry, to be in the heavenly throes of comfort, in the warm embrace of simple love.  That is most what a child needs.  Indeed, what the entire world needs.
