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.

It is not easy maintaining our boundaries

It is not easy maintaining our boundaries and staying clear of another’s destiny.  We want the best, we wish to be compassionate, give love, listen and be understanding.  Truth be told, listening is usually the best healing balm for any supposed malady that afflicts a soul.

Few of us live as the clear river.  It is when the ego personality infects a situation that attachments begin and prosper.  We become the stone or the fallen tree that becomes the dam.  And we spend so much of our time bemoaning such a thing that stands in our natural way.
It is wise, we suggest, to hover gently above the drama, as that is where you become the clear river.  That is the land of noticing, not the desert of judgments.

If your attention is diverted toward lack, limitation and need, follow me

If your attention is diverted toward lack, limitation and need, follow me.  I will show you the golden sun, I will whisper in your ears until you remember that you are the way and what you love is nirvana; your passion is the key.

Do you hear me, beloveds?  Let none judge you, accept no judgment.  You must not live in the muck of the river any longer.  You must swim to the light.  Do not think that what the world of society takes as real is real.

What you love, what brings you joy, the fire of your passion is real, because it is God.  And God is the only reality.  You can quote me if you like.

It is important not to judge

It is important not to judge.  We’ve spoken of this before.  What another soul chooses, my children, is none of your business, is none of my business.  It is between that soul and that soul’s affair with God.  I am not preaching to you; I never do!
But I am suggesting that life is so much easier to let people be.  Let people be whoever they wish to be and live, anyway they choose.  When they ask for help it becomes our choice.  Once again we return to the power of thought.  Would you or I be responsible for another’s thought, for their perceptions of life, for the choices they make, for the roads they walk?  We have our hands full making our own choices, and the God-power that thought evokes is better spent other places, like living a joyful life, like seeking the good in everything.
Champions may acknowledge the opportunity of defeat, but they focus and use their God-power on the victory of love, which brings us to the big picture, again, the big picture.  What do you see?  Where are you in the big picture?  If you do not see it, it cannot serve you.  Every harp plays its own tune; whether there exists dissonance or not is unimportant.  The greatest significance is compassion; the power of listening is much greater than the power of attempting to rush in to solve something.  The new teachers encourage the individual to heal, to recognize, to bring forth their own Christ-love healing.
We would like to believe we all want the best.  Be careful about creating darkness in the guise of knowing what is best for.  So we must be responsible and truly examine what we feel is the best.  The best for me is to be joyful and happy, yet that may be lifetimes different than what one soul has come here to learn.  Extending unconditional love is its own reward, is its own healing balm, is all it needs to be.
There is a mercy in detachment.  A space is created wherein miracles might occur.  Diligence pays off, my beloveds.  We all eventually climb the mountain and every heart makes that last leap, and eventually we all see the fire that burns so bravely in the darkness.  It makes life a lot easier.  I almost sounded serious!

What type of heat do we create with the fire of a life?


What type of heat do we create with the fire of a life?
Passionate?  Spiritual?  Unconditionally loving?  Romantic?  Sorrowful?  Raging?
Who would sit before our hearth to warm their soul?

A friend?  A foe?  A lost soul?  A beloved?
What radiance of love do we exude?   

Vibrant?  Distorted?  Conditional?  Compassionate?  Kindly?  Considerate?

Beloved, we are living, evolving art.  Priceless, unique in every way!
We should laugh at our penchant for criticism.

Can one judge art?  All judgment is a crucifixion of the self.
We are all engaged in the self-artistry of living life as best we can.

Oh, the folly of our insecurities!

Rumi
