I am who
you believe me to be. I am in thee. If you know me, if you believe in me, then
you know and believe in thyself.
You walk in
God. Think on that.
Jesus
If you were
to think of your life as cloud, what could stand in your way? What and where are your mountains? Where are your hills? What would block the flow?
Earth stuff
feels like the weight of the world, but to the soul, it weighs less than a
breath of wind. The ego would heap such
drama in great piles along the paths of right livelihood, love and compassion;
you need not climb them. You need not
dig through them. You must know and
recognize your power, your abilities, your talents and your light. In your power you can reach so high, and you’d
be so far above, a part of the world, and not.
Rumi
The act of being
is the act of joy. Is it so much to
understand that our loving creator is completely joy in all aspects, at all
times, in all moods? So, when comes the
awakening? When you are still. When you are focused not on what you do not
love or apparently do not have. When you
are simply enjoying who you are and doing the things that bring you that simple
joy.
Buddha
The art of
surrender is forever overlooked. It
takes a soul gifted with far-sightedness to understand the strength and purpose
of surrender. There is no loss in
letting go, much will be new. How you
qualify such newness is up to you, but unless the space is made there is no
room and it, once again, becomes cluttered, claustrophobic, and you become
prone to bumping into your shame, denial and weaknesses.
Release
those things! If they are so dear, take
a picture, visit a taxidermist, bronze them, but do not let them live in your
present day as they so affect your world that you will never climb up and out
of the chasm. There is greatness on the
other side of that mountain. It is gold
and white, it shimmers like light atop a wave; it is called God and it is your
reward for exercising the strength, mindfulness, willfulness and commitment
that it takes to release the past.
Rumi
To be of service, be love yourselves. To be a true friend, go with God into the
darkness, always with God. To be a true
friend, accept God in the darkness. To
be a better friend, trust God in the darkness.
To be the beloved, become God in the darkness. To become I AM, ascend as God from the darkness.
Babaji
What place
at your table do you sit truth? What power
do you give illusion? Oh this marvelous
puzzle! Call it the folly of humanity or
the insecurity of soul; they both spell the same word: fear. Yea, though I walk through the valley of
fear… or something like that. Life is
not all a valley, and you are more atop a peak than you might realize.
You have
come to understand the value of choice.
Choose to be shocked, choose to be elated, choose to be separate; choose
as you will but include God in that choice and let it blossom into a marvelous
garden. One moment at a time, every
moment as rich or richer than the next.
This is living. Do not weep for
the dying. Be strong. Oh yes, and I am not through with you yet.
Shams
I follow
the gentle flow. I am the flow and the
flow follows me. I sit beneath the
branched nature and the shadows of the past wander aimlessly over and above me;
I pay them no mind nor heed. My ample humanness
reveres the earth, yet I am a universe unto myself, in the image and likeness
of the love eternal and everlasting.
I found my
freedom and my nature in freedom. Where
have you found yours, my children? My
heart reaches to each of you, not to find a home but to find a sister or
brother, a true friend, a true God that knows him and herself, that we might
converse without the need to own or beguile or make a point. And I listen for your silent words, and pray you do not anticipate mine.
So many of
us here have risen from the great depths to the heights that are no heights at
all. What separated us was all that
separates you, the grand illusion. And
what attaches us to such an illusion?
Nothing but fear.
Buddha
