It is a pity that there is no sure thing... or is that our greatest blessing?

It is a pity that there is no sure thing... or is that our greatest blessing? Your insecure self rails at your walking towards your dreams. It is completely against it. Our small mind plays such fearful games with us. I discovered a constant. Would you like to know what that is? It is “I have to.” “I have to stay here, I have to do this.” That is when I turned and walked away.

I discovered this too: That we don’t lose anything because we don’t really have anything! I spoke many volumes on this point alone.

If there is one constant, sure thing, it is the miracle you are, wherever you are, whenever you find yourself there. You are not bound, you are blessed. We all come to the end of the road, but there are 12 new roads, 12 new paths and more.

As a human being we identify always with loss, but as I speak to you, to the soul within, I feel no loss at all! What I feel is the next step, what I feel is the ascension that you long for. You do not lack for bravery. So I suggest that you at least allow yourself to explore. And I likewise suggest that you might be very pleasantly surprised!
Buddha

What is the journey, my children?

What is the journey, my children? Is it overcoming what you have attracted to yourself or is it forging a new way despite the past? 

Remember this: you do not live in a cage or a box. Your power, when you focus, is drawn from the heart that is the original heart.  And from this heart flows the light of love to all of life, as light, as love, as forgiveness. 

Do you think that one iota of this love would be withheld from you because of a mistake or weakness, because of your apparent past while being human? Think again. 

Where do we go from here? We make a decision.  I will help. We start life all over again.  It begins on a foundation of forgiveness, of emancipation, of simple self-love. 

Beloved teacher, I hear you think, How can I let go of my past when I define so much of my present and future from that past?  Simple, you have no future. You have your decision of who you are right now.  And your past, it lies alone. 

Let go of your karma. Bring it to God. It will not go far. The light calls into your hearts; allow it to reside there. Be still. Be here. Right now.

Buddha

The longest journey

The longest journey, perhaps the most difficult trek, the most intense traveling is to the self.  It is not traversing the world; it is meandering through the desert of the ego, of the frightened false and small self.   

It is going through the brambles and the briars that others have put in our way, and somehow we have given permission that these things grow and they prosper because they were right.  We realize now that they were not, they never were.  

And what comes from that and what flows to the surface is realization, that there’s a different way.  What is that different way?  It’s you.  

Buddha

There is no greater art than love

There is no greater art than love.  There can be no greater art than the art of loving.  Without such an impetus of life are all fields barren and the mind vacant.  

I give you all a gift.  Touch your ear to my heart and listen.  It is laughter.  Do you remember? 

Buddha

When you tire of suffering

When you tire of suffering, when you no longer wish to play, when the way is simply because there is no other way, befriend me.  I am so simple.  I am so un-human and yet I loved the experience for the experience of enlightenment.  

Take stock of your friends, of your beloveds, of your intimates; take stock of your enemies.  Everything is balanced to work towards the awakening.  It is not you or me against any world; it is simply balance, it is simply an order-divine that is inescapable in its perfection.  There is no mind human that can understand it.  

Into these words read your own meaning, but take the time to feel.  Beg from no one, want from no one, need from no one.  Sit with your God.  Come, sit with me.  Rejoice.  

Buddha

Have you learned the secrets of the river?

Have you learned the secrets of the river? Have you learned there are no secrets?  Water runs downhill, least resistance. The mind is always running uphill, tiring, finding excuses, wedding chaos. This is not the way. Have you discovered that as yet?

It is the priceless gift: experience. And experience without regret or resistance is the traveler of the river, always flowing downhill. Some of us become great swimmers because we must. But through a long time I have learned a different way which I will share.

To accept God is to trust in that acceptance completely. Were you to place your life in mine, and see what I see, the way I see it, there are no questions remaining to life; there is simply the knowing. God is the knowing. It is being here, accepting the challenge of what is before you and knowing. It is so simple and the mind would complicate that simplicity.

It is not wrong or bad to deconstruct your life, to peel or husk all illusion back to the very first kernel. If you do not like the color, create something different. Do not waste precious time dealing with what covers the truth, the first thought. Go in your trust in the God you are to the source. Waste no time or effort and not a word of resistance shall pass your lips. 

Remember, sitting together in perfect understanding and harmony. Here, now. We count our breaths, and that leads us to counting our blessings, of which we have many.

Buddha
