'Thoughts on a Thursday '...
The Idea of Death is quite prevalent within New York...
We look Death within the eyes..
But,,, No-one leaves this Dream, Alive..
My lover, tears at this motion..
I can only console the feminine..
I know that I will die,
but, I will everything that I own to her..
She will be fine....

If there is no God, nothing matters.
If there is a God, nothing else matters.
-H. G. Wells
' Servitude through Drugs '...
There will be, in the next generation or so,
a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude,
and producing dictatorship without tears,
so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies,
so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
-Aldous Huxley
' Out There '...
When we finally give up the struggle to find fulfillment "out there," we have nowhere to go but within.
It is at this moment of total surrender that a new light begins to dawn.

' Breath Mastery '...
The ancient yogis discovered that the secret of cosmic consciousness is intimately linked with breath mastery.
This is India's unique and deathless contribution to the world's treasury of knowledge.
The life force, which is ordinarily absorbed in maintaining the heart-pump,
must be freed for higher activities by a method of calming and stilling the ceaseless demands of the breath.
-Sri Yukteswar Giri

' More Thoughts on a Tuesday Night '...
Since, I have been on Facebook, I have met many Priests and ministers within the religions of earth..
I speak to the Sufi Muslims that worship a God called Love..
I consider myself as a student of buddhism, which is a mirror of Christianity..
Is it possible, that Love can exist within different paths ?..
I, as a student of spiritual mysticism, as a follower of Francis of Assisi and Gautama the Buddha..
Of course Jesus enters the conversation of the frequency called Love..
" I and the Father Are One"..
This is the Knowledge that is Taught within All Reality Teaching..
Can, we allow ourselves to look deeper ?..
Why does Pain exist within your reality ?..
Pain only exists within Dreams,
because, Pain is not a part of Reality..
Pain cannot exist within Reality....
-thomas
' Thoughts on a Tuesday Night '...
I live in a place of highest impact of death from the virus..
I praise and pray for those humans that serve..
They walk into death everyday..
They are Brave and honor life more than their own..
This is called Love..
This is also called, following your religion or philosophy..
Will we survive this attack upon our existence within this Dream ?..
Remember, that We Are Dreaming..
It is a Nightmare, but, still a Dream..
The Awakening from this Dream can only happen When....
The 'When', is where Surrender of the Nightmare Begins..
The End of Egoic-Desire..
Surrender All of your Desires for anything..
Wake Up!..
Welcome Home !

'You Are That '...
Please, Father, tell me more about this Self."
"Yes, dear one, I will," Uddalaka said.
"Place this salt in water and bring it here Tomorrow morning."
The boy did.
"Where is that salt?" his father asked.
“I do not see it."
"Sip here. How does it taste”
"Salty, Father."
"And here? And there?"
“I taste salt everywhere."
“It is everywhere, though we see it not.
Just as this, dear one, the Self is everywhere,
Within all things, although we see him not.
There is nothing that does not come from him.
Of everything he is the inmost Self.
He is the truth; he is the Self supreme.
You are that, Shvetaketu; you are that."
-Chandogya Upanishad,
Translated by Sri Eknath Easwaran.
' What is Success? '...
Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful.
-Albert Schweitzer
' I Am Imperfect '...
I am imperfect in many things,
nevertheless I want my brethren and kinsfolk to know my nature,
so that they may be able to perceive my soul's desire.

' What is Hell ? '''
Wake up !,,
It is your Life..
Pain is your companion..
The body is weakening..
An old car dies on the road..
Why are you here ?..
Mind is the only road to explore..
Hell is Egoic-attachment..
Leave this road and shake the hand of Freedom..
No Virus, here.. no fear here..
Death is not a fear, It is Freedom, and Frightens ego..
-thomas
' Buddha and Christ '...
Trace the Words of each and you will find that they taught the same knowledge..
The only difference is that one found life within the First Reality of Divine Consciousness,
and the other found his Final Reality of Nothingness..
Both Entered Source...

' Where Time Does Not Exist '...
We see Time as the space between Darkness and Light..
When there is Only Light,

All churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Muslim, are simply human inventions.
They use fear to enslave us.
They are a monopoly for power and profit.
-Thomas Paine
' Love Your Enemy '...
And God said, Love your enemy,
and I obeyed Him and loved myself.
-Khalil Gibran
' The Enemies of Peace '...
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace - business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs.
We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today.
They are unanimous in their hate for me - and I welcome their hatred.
-Franklin D. Roosevelt

Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you,

let difficulties know that you too are difficult.
-Abdul Kalam
' Darkness Must Pass '...
It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger, they were.
And sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy?
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
-J. R. R. Tolkien
' Before Sleep '...
Before you go to bed,
write down three 'gratefuls' for the day and three 'did wells'
(they can even include something as simple as doing the laundry)-the results can be amazing!

' Be the Observer '...
Remaining the Observer of the Theater called Life,
with the Ability to end this Dream in a Moment..
-thomas
' True Understanding '...
If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality.
If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both. . . .
The mind and the world are opposites, and vision arises where they meet.
When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside.
When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision.
And such understanding is true understanding.
-Bodhidharma
' Expectations Cause Suffering '...
The real thing is that you are suffering from your expectations.
When they are not fulfilled - and they are never going to be fulfilled - frustration arises, failure arises, and you feel neglected, as if existence does not care for you.
Drop expectations for the future.
Remain open, remain available to whatsoever happens, but don't plan ahead.
Don't make any psychological, fixed ideas about the future - that things should be like this - and much more suffering will disappear.
-Rajneesh
' I Teach One Thing '...
I teach one thing and one only:
that is, suffering and the end of suffering.

With pride, there are many curses.
With humility, there come many blessings.

If you want to find the secrets of the universe,
think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.

One day you will ask me which is more important?
My life or yours?
I will say mine,
and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
-Khalil Gibran
' The Vital Principle '...
A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle,
the sustaining energy of a free government.
-Alexander Hamilton
' The Complete Control of Humans '...
How can a hundred thousand humans control seven billion ?..
By Mental Control Only..
Education, that we know as Indoctrination, known as Propaganda..
The only way to control humans is by controlling their thoughts..
This is where we are..
Where do you receive your education and news ?..
Who controls this entrance into your mind ?..
This is why the process called, Awakening, exists..
You Awaken to this Dream of Lies..
-thomas
' Zen '...
Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes.
Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
-Alan Watts
' Propaganda '...
The trouble with the world is not that people know too little;
it's that they know so many things that just aren't so.
-Mark Twain
' Loss of Freedoms '...
America will never be destroyed from the outside.
If we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Silence is essential.
We need silence just as much as we need air,
just as much as plants need light.
If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts,
there is no space for us.

' Mind and Heart '...
Our mind is enriched by what we receive,
our heart by what we give.

-John Milton
' Words Are Easy '...
Words are easy, like the wind;
Faithful friends are hard to find.
-William Shakespeare
' Student Indoctrination '...
In the hands of a skillful indoctrinator, the average student not only thinks what the indoctrinator wants him to think . .
but is altogether positive that he has arrived at his position by independent intellectual exertion.
This man is outraged by the suggestion that he is the flesh-and-blood tribute to the success of his indoctrinators.
-William F. Buckley, Jr.
' Past, Present, and Future '...
People like us, who believe in physics,
know that the distinction between past, present, and future
is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
-Albert Einstein
' Thoughts on a Sunday Night '...
We are forced to cover our faces..
A strange killing agent has been released upon the Earth..
Who is Responsible for the Death of a Million?..
I know that the Earth is crowded, but Birth Control is a better road than viral death..
Chemical Weapons will kill us all..
We are here for a short time to Learn..
What is there to Learn?..
Why are you here ?..
Who are you ?..
The Character that you play each day is not You..
The Real You is Beyond this Dream...

and in this moment it is infinite and eternal,
for the present moment is infinitely small;
before we can measure it,
it has gone,
and yet it exists forever….”
– Alan Watts
' The Ecstasy of Source '...
“Love is not selective, desire is selective.
In love there are no strangers.
When the centre of selfishness is no longer, all desires for pleasure and fear of pain cease;
one is no longer interested in being happy;
beyond happiness there is pure intensity, inexhaustible energy,
the ecstasy of giving from a perennial source.”
― Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That:
' Being Alone '...
Grant me the ability to be alone,
May it be my custom to go outdoors each day among the trees and grasses among all growing things and there may I be alone,
and enter into prayer to talk with the one that I belong to.

' Darkness and Light '...
I will love the light for it shows me the way,

' Thoughts on a Friday Night '...
Just another day of denying the attention of Death..
633 humans in our community have been attacked by an invisible enemy..
This is what happens when someone invents a weapon and it is so wise, that it escapes..
Can We move beyond this road of Death..
We Will, Humans will continue to exist because, We have always done so..
This has happened every century..
Welcome to the club..
If the Body quits,, the Soul Remains...

' The Gospel of Thomas '...
Jesus says:
(1) “If those who lead you say to you: ‘Look, the kingdom is in the sky!’ then the birds of the sky will precede you.
(2) If they say to you: ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fishes will precede you.
(3) Rather, the kingdom is inside of you and outside of you.”
(4) “When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will realize that you are the children of the living Father.
(5) But if you do not come to know yourselves, then you exist in poverty, and you are poverty.”
- Saint Thomas the Apostle
' The Spring Will Come '...
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime.
Never make a negative decision in the low time.
Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods.
Wait.
Be patient.
The storm will pass.
The spring will come.
-Robert H. Schuller
' The Beginning of Love '...
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves,
and not to twist them to fit our own image.
Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
-Thomas Merton
' Liberty '...
He who would trade liberty for some temporary security,
deserves neither liberty nor security.

' The Voice Spoke '...
There came one and knocked at the door of the Beloved.
And a voice answered and said, 'Who is there?'
The lover replied, 'It is I.'
'Go hence,' returned the voice;

Then came the lover a second time and knocked and again the voice demanded,
'Who is there?'
He answered, 'It is thou.'
'Enter,' said the voice, 'for I am within.

Without training, they lacked knowledge.
Without knowledge, they lacked confidence.
Without confidence, they lacked victory.
-Julius Caesar
' All Political Issues '...
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.'
All issues are political issues,
and politics itself is a mass of lies,
evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
-George Orwell
' The American Elite '...
The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . .
Moral relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have become incapable of discerning right from wrong.
Everything can be explained away, especially by journalists.
Life is one great moral mush--sophistry washed down with Chardonnay.
The ordinary citizens, thank goodness, still adhere to absolutes....
It is they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while their 'betters' were derelict.
-Charles Dickens
' Staying Alive '...
The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive,
but in finding something to live for.
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
' Thoughts on a Monday Night '...
I live close to new york city and thousands have died..
I am very old and will die if this virus enters my body..
Fortunately, I am a spiritual mystic..
Death is a release from slavery..
Many, do not understand what I am saying..
In the Earth Hologram, We are separate from Source..
We Believe that We are Free..
In Reality, we pay each week for protection from others..
It is a Mafia operation..
It is called government..
As long as your protection money is paid, you can continue your life..
Wars and more Wars scar our soul..
So many humans killed..
Did, our Soul, Die?...

' A Real Genius '...
When a true genius appears,

' The Insane World '...
The longer I live,
the more convinced am I that this planet is used by other planets as a lunatic asylum.
-George Bernard Shaw
' Sufism '...
Sufism is not a religion or a philosophy,
it is neither deism nor atheism,
nor is it a moral, nor a special kind of mysticism,
being free from the usual religious sectarianism.
If ever it could be called a religion,
it would only be as a religion of love, harmony, and beauty.
-Hazrat Inayat Khan
' What is Evil?'...

you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

' You are never alone... by John Smallman
In these times of increasing chaos and confusion know that your support teams in the non-physical realms are awake and alert to your every call.
Do call on your own personal supporters who are in spirit for guidance and comfort in these troubling times, because they very much want to communicate with you so that you can feel the embrace of their loving energy fields bringing you peace and reducing your anxiety.
These times are perfect for you to strengthen your connection with us here in the spiritual realms because you have plenty of time to sit quietly and relax into your holy inner sanctuary where Love and Peace are always in residence.
Give yourself plenty of time to do this – you have plenty – and allow the peace of this holy inner space to envelop you.
Distractions will arise – impatience, hunger, thirst, sleepiness.
Therefore be ready for them by setting the intent, as you relax into this space, to maintain your focused attention – on a candle, your breath, the floor just in front of you, a plant, or anything that you feel comfortable and at ease focusing on for more than a few moments – and then be quiet, alert, and ‘listen’ for your intuition, inner guidance, or the spiritual entity to whom you direct your prayers, to commune with you.
Remember, You are never alone.
Your loving brother, Jesus
' So Many Chains '...
So many attachments keep us prisioners..
This might also be called Purgatory, that which purges..
To sacrifice for Sinning is Foolish..
Sin is a Hebrew word that means " missing the mark ",
which concerns archery and the "bulls eye"..
The sacrifice of animals related to the sins of humans..
Both Foolish..
When did humans become so foolish?..
Perhaps, the leaders of the Philosophy were the Fools..
Sins are the desires of personal egoic desire..
Also called Selfishness..
Also called Ego-Attachment..
All Mental Attivities..
Non-Existent.. Non-Love..
-thomas
' Thoughts on a Pandemic Easter '...
Tonight, I have spoken to many Mystics in many of the philosophies and religions of the world..
The advanced Mystic has gone through the experience of the death of personal ego..
Those forty days and nights occured to both Jesus and Gautama, It took me many years of meditation..
It takes a long time to surrender everything that exists..
Especially, the ego or self attachment..
The character that we play everyday..
To Become Nothing is to Become Everything..
How many understand these words?..
The Nazarene spoke of the non-desire for manifestation {non-wealth]..
Does this Mystic, make sense?..
I think so, It worked for Me...
-thomas
' From the Gospel of Thomas '...
If you seek for your Origin within your own consciousness,
you shall discover that the Infinite I AM is truly your own Presence.
And then your moment-to-moment life purpose
can be continuously revealed to you.
This guidance will activate your transformation out of ego constraints
and it will engender spiritual creativity.
This creativity, when operating in concert with Divine Initiative,
will create True Self expression, and the unfoldment of your divine destiny.
I was asked something recently, and I did not answer you then, but I want
to tell you now the secret of transformation that you asked about earlier. 92.
Unless you Abstain from the world and its ego-driven pursuits,
you will not find the quiet, yet expansive awareness in your Center.
Unless you honor and live the Sabbath Rest in everyday life –
I - The Decision: to Journey Back to the Light
resting from fearful worry, worldly lusts and the pursuit of “things”—
you will not see your Divine Soul as your living cause;
nor will you see your Holy Breath as it is –– a Nurturing Expandingness.
Both Soul and Breath, work In you As you to create True Self awareness.
Soul-Consciousness ... is the Divine Father Life within.
Spirit-Breath is the Divine Mother – a moving constructive life force
within. Meditation makes us one-with the Mind of Father God.
Divine Breath work makes us into Divine beings on Earth in true awareness.
This pure awareness will take dominion over your “appetites,”
instead of your appetites taking dominion over you.
Performing daily the simple sacred acts of Love with your Inner, does it.
This activity will transform the Entirety of your life experience.
-Thomas Olson
' Expectations '...
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person
is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

' Too Small '...
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.
-Dalai Lama
' The Destruction of the World '...
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil,

-Albert Einstein
' Loving the Unlovable '...
To love means loving the unlovable.
To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.
Faith means believing the unbelievable.
Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened.

Courage is contagious.
When a brave man takes a stand,
the spines of others are often stiffened.
-Billy Graham
'Thoughts on a Friday Night '...
We live in Fear in New york..
850 died today..
To die is painful but it is the entrance to Pleasure..
From Darkness into Light..
The Reality and Experience of the Emotion of Love is Real..
The Fear of not living is gone..
You continue to Live and Love, but this is not the End..
To Go Beyond Existence is Key..
This is called Pure Awareness...
Namaste, thomas
' A Victim of Mind '...
The whole of existence is dancing, except man.
The whole of existence is in a very relaxed movement; movement there is, certainly, but it is utterly relaxed.
Trees are growing and birds are chirping and rivers are flowing, stars are moving: everything is going in a very relaxed way.
No hurry, no haste, no worry, and no waste.
Except man.
Man has fallen a victim of his mind.
-Rajneesh
' A Great Secret '...
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain.
From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
-Rumi
' Thoughts on a Thursday Night '...
I have been thinking about the death of John Prine..
His Body died the other day at seventy-three years..
Seventy-three is my age , I remember him in my youth within the Woodstock Generation..
We were all into Folk Music, I would meet hundreds of kindred spirits in Greenwich Village..
We would play guitars and sing these songs in Washington Square..
I would see Peter,Paul, and Mary walk towards me and be in shock..
We would sing Dylan, Donavan, Tom Rush, Tom paxton, Joan Baez, songs..
I once sang with Melonie at Town Hall in Manhattan..
It was a Time filled with Love, Nothing like today..
I witnessed Love turn into distrust and hate when Heroin entered the scene..
This drug distroyed the Woodstock Love of that generation..
Can this Vibration be Born-Again?..

' The Truth '...
The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.

' Happiness '...
Realize that true happiness lies within you.
Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.
Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.
Reach out.
Share.
Smile.
Hug.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
-Og Mandino
' The Freedom of Speech '...
At the heart of the First Amendment is the recognition of the fundamental importance of the free flow of ideas and opinions on matters of public interest and concern.
The freedom to speak one's mind is not only an aspect of individual liberty - and thus a good unto itself - but also is essential to the common quest for truth and the vitality of society as a whole.
We have therefore been particularly vigilant to ensure that individual expressions of ideas remain free from governmentally imposed sanctions.
-Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist

"Don't depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness."

' Guilt '...
Guilt is the sum total of:
All the negative feelings we have ever had about ourselves!
Any form of self-hatred, self-rejection, feelings of worthlessness, sinfulness, inferiority, incompetence, failure, or emptiness.
The feeling that there are things in us that are lacking or missing or incomplete.
-Kenneth Wapnick
' Too Much Past '...
All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present.
Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and not enough presence.
Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness,
and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.
-Eckhart Tolle
' Speaking of Fear '...
You speak of fear..
Where is the source of your fear?..
It is the source of ego death..
It is the pain of the non existence of Consciousness..
It is both..
It is the imaginary you that desires happiness forever..
You believe that happiness only exists within existence..
Whether this existence is life or God..
Who is the one that seeks happiness?
If there is happiness, then, there must be unhappiness..
Who experiences each?
In Pure Intelligence, neither is needed..
As there is no ego or identity to feel either..
- thomas
' Freedom is a Door '...
They say that the 'Peak' is coming soon..
Many live in fear every minute in New York..
The Bullseye is placed upon us..

We Fear speaking to others, as Death is Airborne..
We of extended years feel the end is near..
What is the worst that can happen?..
You will Die..
At this Point, Freedom opens a Door...
-thomas
' Love and Opinion '...
Love is higher than opinion.
If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled -
thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that
we should learn to live together and understand one another.
If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.
-Rudolf Steiner

The real rulers in Washington are invisible,

about helping each other, living in peace and harmony.

' The Next Summer '...
We do wish for the last Summer..
Birth and Death are the Circle of Existence..
The question remains,
What is Existence?..
Can you remember the last time you Dreamed?..
That is Existence..
Source Dreams and we exist..
It is that Simple..
To prepare for the future is important..
Enter the Light of Love called Source..
The rest of intelligence is Dream..

' Stop trying to shut yourselves out from Reality... by John Smallman '...
With the COVID-19 pandemic very much on people’s minds I would like to offer some loving guidance to assist you in coming to accept what is occurring so that you do not become unduly fearful or anxious. As you know, the collective awakening of humanity is divinely assured, and your task is to continue to BE Love in every moment, because this greatly assists this magnificent divine event in its unfoldment precisely as divinely planned. You are Love, so all you have to do is to be yourselves. That means to let go of or release the personas or masks – your professional personal face that you present in the work-place, or the regular adult face that you present in other interactive situations, and also the 5-8 year old emotionally reactive child within that explodes occasionally without warning – that you normally present as yourselves when meeting with or in any way interacting with others.
In other words, Be the You that you know yourselves to be – loving, caring individuals who truly delight in knowing that you are alive, and who also delight to see others alive and well. It takes no effort, just total self-acceptance without judgment of any kind, just as Mother/Father/God totally accepts you. When you do this you will truly meet and interact with real people, other beloved children of God, because others will respond to you in like manner revealing their true selves, instead of in the more regular and ‘cautious’ fashion that you all mostly experience from others in your normal daily lives.
To be alive is to be in joy; but very many of you choose to focus on what you dislike or even abhor in your lives, and this leads immediately to dissatisfaction, often intense dissatisfaction, so that the true and ever-present joy of life is hidden from you by your engagement with thought processes that have absolutely nothing to do with the present moment. Therefore, set the intent frequently throughout the day to be aware, to be conscious, and to observe and engage with the wondrous miracle that is your life in this ever-present now moment.
Life has a purpose, namely to know God. As humans in form, and being severely limited by that form, to know God seems to be beyond the bounds of possibility, especially when to “know God” means to be constantly aware of being at every moment in His Presence. A few have come very close to that knowing, and have shared their experiences as best they can within the limitations of language, so that others may understand what is readily available to them, and then also seek to share in that most wondrous experience. You all believe in God, and seek ways to commune with Him through prayer, meditation, and contemplation, and doing this regularly with unforced intent does strengthen your faith, while at the same time leading you to understand quite clearly that your life’s purpose is to know God. When that purpose is clear to you it becomes much easier to behave only lovingly whatever may arise, and when you do this you find yourselves meeting Love in many delightful and unexpected places, further strengthening your faith.
To awaken is to know God, and your awakening is drawing ever closer as you gently release your needy grasp on the unreality of the material world. The world that is constantly presenting you with myriad distractions, as the egoic freight train of thoughts runs almost continuously through your brains, dispersing worrisome thoughts about unlikely possibilities that might happen to you if you are not careful and, at the same time, adequately prepared. Your egos, building on the fears that have already been established within you – during growth from infancy to adulthood – encourage you to maintain a supply of products that you are firmly convinced are absolutely essential for your survival, further distracting you from living the miracle that is life in joy and gratitude. All this groundless fear needs to be seen, recognized, faced, and released, thus opening your hearts to allow Love to fill them. Hearts filled with Love are, of course, totally fearless, except when fear is momentarily required to bring your attention to an immediate threat that has to be dealt with in that precise moment, such as a vehicle bearing down upon you unseen as you cross the street.
The current pandemic is demonstrating very potently that, in spite of the present very temporary need for ‘social distancing,’ that there is no such state as ‘independence,’ that there is only ‘interdependence,’ on one another and, of course, on the Earth without which there would be no possibility of life in human form. But this is not a co-dependent relationship, it’s a relationship of sharing, caring, and engaging with life through one another, and with the Earth that so lovingly supports you all in full acknowledgment of the Oneness of all in God.
Therefore, in these unsettling times, it is essential that you focus regularly every day on your unbreakable relationship with Mother/Father/God, Source, Love – the divine field of energy in which all that is created has its eternal existence in joy-filled bliss. You are One. God delights in You. And without You, and you, God would be incomplete, but God, who is absolute perfection, is always complete. So, to reiterate very firmly, Be the Love that you are, and judge no one! Judgment is always self-judgment no matter what form it may appear to take, so why would you attempt to be in conflict with God who loves all and judges none?
Stop trying to shut yourselves out from Reality through negative judgments of self or others, and instead, claim your Love, the love of self that is an absolutely essential aspect of our all-inclusive One divine nature, and then, in doing so, experience the joy and bliss, that is God’s eternal gift to all of creation, by offering It constantly to self and to all others.
Your loving brother, Jesus.
' Taught by Example '...
Perfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness,
unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self control
are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches.
-Sri Aurobindo
' Only One Unity '...
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all.
Call it God, Love, Spirit.
Allah, Jehovah -
it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
-Swami Vivekananda
' The Constitution '...
We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts,
not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
-Abraham Lincoln
' There Are Doors '...
In the universe, there are things that are known,
and things that are unknown,
and in between, there are doors.
-William Blake
' In a Direct Manner '...
He who thinks much says but little in proportion to his thoughts.
He selects that language which will convey his ideas in the most explicit and direct manner.
He tries to compress as much thought as possible into a few words.
On the contrary, the man who talks everlastingly and promiscuously,
who seems to have an exhaustless magazine of sound,
crowds so many words into his thoughts that he always obscures,
and very frequently conceals them.
-Washington Irving
' Thoughts on a Friday Night '...
The Force of State and common sense, sends us into a solitary sentence..
But, We have committed no crime!.
The Crime is being human..
You are a Dream and can be extinguished in a second..
The Ego is strong within this Dream..
To Surrender such an object of mental value is difficult..
We Know that endness is Truth..
But, We are confused when We continue to Exist..
Where Now?, says the Soul.
I say 'Soul' because you have not yet reached Complete Freedom..
Because You are the Consciousness within the White Light of Source,
You are still not Free..
Freedom Begins within the 'Nothingness' of 'Non-Egoic' Desire..
Only Source Is Left Within This Dream...
-thomas
' Free Speech '...
The right to discuss freely and openly, by speech, by the pen, by the press, all political questions,
and to examine the animadvert upon all political institutions is a right so clear and certain,
so interwoven with our other liberties, so necessary, in fact,
to their existence, that without it we must fall into despotism and anarchy.
-William C. Bryant
' This New Day '...
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely,
with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
' The Sacredness of Tears '...
There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
-Washington Irving
' Thoughts on a Thursday Night '...
We are too old to speak in lies..
I will always tell you the Truth that I have found..
There is an enemy that will destroy Conciousness within this Dream..
Consciousness is the Reality of Who, You Are..
You feel the Victor..
You have always been the Author..
You, Mystics will understand..
Let me enter the consciousness of victimhood..
The 'Hood'..
Blacks and Whites do not Hate each other..
We feel a Peace within humanity..
I desire that we seek Truth...
-thomas
' Positive Thinking '...
A positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative; he refuses to dwell on it.
Positive thinking is a form of thought which habitually looks for the best results from the worst conditions.
-Norman Vincent Peale
' Fear '...
F-E-A-R has two meanings:
'Forget Everything And Run' or
'Face Everything And Rise.'
The choice is yours.
-Zig Ziglar
' Negativity and Stress '...
No one can create negativity or stress within you.
Only you can do that by virtue of how you process your world.
-Wayne Dyer
' Truly Teaching '...
A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself.
A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame.
The teacher who has come to the end of his subject,
who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students,
can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.
-Rabindranath Tagore
' The Greatest Gift '...
There can be no greater gift than that of giving
one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.
-Nelson Mandela
' A Most Valuable Trait '...
A man's most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.
-Euripides
