I am who you believe me to be

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?

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.

The act of being is the act of joy

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

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.

To be of service, be love yourselves

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.

What place at your table do you sit truth?

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.

I follow the gentle flow

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
