' To Blame Others '...
If you make it a habit not to blame others, you will feel the growth of the ability to love in your soul, and you will see the growth of goodness in your life.
............................................ Leo Tolstoy
' Tempus Fugit '...
If the years of youth are experienced slowly, while the later years of life hurtle past at an ever-increasing speed, it must be habit that causes it. We know full well that the insertion of new habits or the changing of old ones is the only way to preserve life, to renew our sense of time, to rejuvenate, intensify, and retard our experience of time - and thereby renew our sense of life itself. That is the reason for every change of scenery and air.

' Invincible Love '...
My dear, In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back. Truly yours, Albert Camus..

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

' The Concept of Yourself '...
You are more than you think you are. There are dimensions of your being and a potential for realization and consciousness that are not included in your concept of yourself. Your life is much deeper and broader than you conceive it to be here. What you are living is but a fractional inkling of what is really within you, what gives you life, breadth, and depth.

' Own the 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.

' Relative Ignorance '...
Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care. Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant

' I Do the Same '...
Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.

' Jesus through John '...
Here in the non-physical realms we watch with intense joy as humanity’s collective awakening proceeds rapidly towards its magnificent divine conclusion. Your awakening, as you have been told so often, is absolutely assured, so release any doubts to which you may be clinging, or which may be arising unbidden to disturb or undermine your trust in God. All is well, God is with each one of you in every moment, because separation never happened, and never could happen because you are eternally in Union with Mother/Father/God............................................
Your eternal life, your life right now as you read or listen to this message, is being lived in the loving Presence of your divine Creator. However, what you are experiencing as a life in form, with all the anxieties, fears, pain, and suffering with which it presents you is a pure and utterly unreal illusion. It is a state that you each chose – using your God-given and completely powerful free will – to experience. While you are in form it does seem totally real because that was your intent when you entered into it. And, yes, it is presenting you with lessons and experiences that you have chosen to undergo for your own benefit and for the benefit of all those with whom you interact. And yes, you make mistakes – another aspect of being human – and you knew, before incarnating, that this too would happen. And the whole purpose of this exercise is to bring you back into mindful awareness that you are Love, and only Love, just like your ever-loving Father...................................................
Again, all is well. Rejoice, because you are returning Home. In other words you are awakening from the dream or terminating your intense focus on the game with which you have been engaged, and as you do so all your fears, pain, and any sense of unworthiness will dissolve in the pure joy of knowing yourselves once more as One with Mother/Father/God.InUnion with God is where you always have and always will live, eternally and uninterruptedly. It is your true and only nature to be at One with, in Union with and yet live as a differentiated or individuated expression of Mother/Father/God, bringing you and Her an inconceivable intensity of joy.............................................
If you will just allow yourselves to know and be consciously aware, as you always are deep within yourselves, that you are in every moment One with God; that Love is your only nature, your only Reality, you will discover that your one and only desire is to please your heavenly Father as He so perfectly supports and loves you in every moment. All your fear, doubt, anxiety, anger, resentment, and need to judge and blame others will just fall away............................................
You will find yourself living consciously aware of loving all with whom you interact in any manner at all. You will have no need to judge or blame anyone as you recognize that you and all others are the perfect and utterly beloved children of God. You will recognize that those whose behaviors you would previously have judged and condemned, and whom you would therefore have wished to see punished, are all truly doing their best, that they are at present, just as you were a moment ago, utterly lost and convinced that the illusion is real. They are responding to the intense fear that they are experiencing – and which they are mostly denying – and thus allowing their egos to direct their attitudes and behaviors in order to keep them safe from their imagined enemies......................
You have NO enemies, and this is so simply because All are One!....................................
Yes, to restrain those who would hurt and abuse others is fair, but it must be done compassionately and lovingly with the understanding that they are living in and operating from an intense sense of fear and self-doubt. When your own little children are fearful you comfort and protect them. Well those adults who are in fear also need your comfort and protection, protection from themselves and from those other fearful ones who would punish them. Love is the way, the only way to your awakening. Only Love is Real.................................................................
As your conscious awareness of the Reality of your True nature becomes ever more apparent to you, and as you more frequently reset your intent to be consistently mindful as you think, speak, or take action, you will find yourselves increasingly at peace as you accept more fully that you are, in every moment, precisely where you you are meant to be, doing or being exactly what you incarnated for. Your self-acceptance will grow, and you will no longer be disturbed by thoughts about how others may judge you. Your increased knowingness of your divine uniqueness will provide you with complete faith that God trusts you in every moment, and knowing that you will no longer feel any need to defend yourselves if others disagree with you. Any need to obey any kind of dogmatic rules and regulations – whether from political, scientific, governmental, military, business, or religious organization – requiring everyone to hold the same views and beliefs as a prerequisite for acceptance in that society will just dissolve as you come to trust yourselves in the certainty that the only guide you need is Love, in which you are enveloped in every moment.......................................
When you take your essential daily quiet time, alone and One on One with Mother/Father/God in your holy inner sanctuaries, remind yourselves that it is God’s Will and yours that you be incarnate as a human at this moment. Your presence on Earth now is essential and divinely meaningful. You are precisely where you now are physically to beautifully and most competently assist in humanity’s awakening. You chose to be here out of love and compassion, having made a very courageous choice to do so, knowing full well that you too would suffer an intense amnesia, and thus be often, and maybe for a very long time, totally forgetting of your true purpose on Earth. You did know, however, that despite the human life commitments for which you were likely to become responsible, you would eventually come to awareness of the true meaning of your life on Earth at this time, and that you would be divinely guided to follow it perfectly, even though you would at times be distracted by events and relationship issues that would arise in your daily human lives...................................
So I confirm for you that each and every one of you is exactly where you need to be and chose to be to magnificently assist in the collective awakening. Trust in God’s love and guidance in every moment, trust your own divine intuition as you live your daily lives, and be at peace even when others may not be. Being at peace comforts and supports others, and this is your divine purposeinwhich you are fully and most competently engaged..............................
Your loving brother, Jesus.

' Buddha teaches Dhamma '...
Buddha teaches Dhamma. He does not establish any particular religion or sect.
On one occasion, while explaining Dhamma to some people, Buddha said:
"I am not interested to make you my disciples. I am not interested to snatch you away from your traditional gurus. Your aim is to become liberated from misery. I am not interested to take you away from that aim. Everyone wants to come out of misery. Nobody wants to live a miserable life. I am here to help you fulfill your aim, to come out of misery. I have a technique for doing that. Give it a trial.”..........................
This was Buddha’s way of teaching. He was so detached!
...................... Acharya S. N. Goenka
Note : Dhamma teaches two universal and secular truths : samsara (cycle of birth and death) and Nirvana (liberation from cycle of birth and death). As such, it is free from all sectarian views, doctrines, philosophies and the like. Religions are not free from sectarian views.
' Pick & Choose '...
The fact that both Jews and Christians ignore some of God's or Jesus's commands, but scrupulously obey others, is absolute proof that people pick and choose their morality not on the basis of its divine source, but because it comports with some innate morality that they derived from other sources.

' The Definition of Human '...
Our modern world-view tragically misperceives and wrongly defines what it is to be human. We are conditioned by our society to believe happiness comes from pleasure, or from getting things or power over people or money or fame or even health and survival. None of these sometimes very good things can bring ultimate meaning to our lives. We are born to be deeply conscious, inwardly free and deeply capable of love. The longing for these things is the definition of what it means to be human.

' Origins of Zoroastrianism '...
By Catherine Beyer
Updated on April 23, 2019
Zoroastrianism is arguably the world’s oldest monotheistic religion. It centers on the words of the prophet Zarathushtra, called Zoroaster by the ancient Greeks, and focuses worship upon Ahura Mazda, the Lord of Wisdom. It also acknowledges two competing principles representing good and evil: Spenta Mainyu (“Bounteous Spirit”) and Angra Mainyu (“Destructive Spirit”). Humans are intimately involved in this struggle, holding off chaos and destruction through active goodness...............................
Origins of Zoroastrianism.............................
The prophet Zarathushtra—later referred to by the Greeks as Zoroaster—founded Zoroastrianism about 3500 years ago. According to texts from the period, Zoroaster may have been born in 628 B.C., in Rhages, Iran, and may have died on or near 551 B.C. These dates, however, are very rough; some researchers believe he may have lived as much as a millennium earlier or later.................
Indo-Iranian religion in Zarathushtra’s time was polytheistic (meaning that people worshipped multiple gods). While details are scarce, Zoroaster probably elevated an already existing deity into the role of supreme creator, thus creating the world’s first monotheistic religion (a religion worshipping one creator). Zoroastrianism therefore has some similarities with ancient Vedic beliefs; for example, the ahura and daevas (agents of order and chaos) in Zoroastrianism compare to the asuras and devas who compete for power in Vedic religion..............................
Zoroastrianism expanded to become one of the most important religions in the ancient world. From 600 B.C. to 650 C.E. it was the official religion of Persia (ancient Iran). Today, there are only about 190,000 Zoroastrians around the world.
Zoroastrian Customs.............................
While there are Zoroastrians temples and many events during which believers worship together, most Zoroastrian worship takes place in the home. Worship focuses on the central ethical values of Good Words, Good Thoughts, and Good Deeds. Many Zoroastrians pray several times a day, always facing a source of fire or light. Though it is not required, some practitioners wear a knotted cord called a kusti; the kusti is knotted three times to symbolize the three Zoroastrian values. ...................
Zoroastrian temples keep a fire burning at all times to represent Ahura Mazda’s eternal power. Fire is also recognized as a powerful purifier and is respected for that reason. The holiest temple fires take up to a year to consecrate, and many have been burning for years or even centuries. Visitors to fire temples bring an offering of wood, which is placed in the fire by a masked priest. The mask prevents the fire from being desecrated by his breath. The visitor is then anointed with ash from the fire.....................
The Zoroastrian coming-of-age ceremony is called The Navjote, or Sedreh-Pushi. Children between the ages of 7 and 12 participate in ritual washing and perform rituals on their own for the first time. ........................
Zoroastrian weddings include a marriage contract and celebrations which can last as long as seven days. Married female relatives hold a white scarf over the couple’s heads while cones of sugar are rubbed together to sweeten the marriage. The ends of the scarf are later sewn together to symbolize the unity of the married couple.........................
Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian Supreme Creator, is the only god worshiped, although the existence of lesser spiritual beings is also recognized. The overriding ethical principle of Zoroastrianism is Humata, Hukhta, Huveshta: “to think good, to speak good, to act good.” This is the divine expectation of humans, and only through goodness will chaos be kept at bay. A person’s goodness determines their ultimate fate after death..................
' Buddha Quotes '...
“Quiet the mind and the soul will speak.”......................
“What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”...............
“Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.”...................
“You don’t have a Soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”..............................
“If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.”..............................
“All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction.”
“Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?”
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”................................
“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”......................
“Purity or impurity depends on oneself, no one can purify another.”
' Truth is One '...
The Vedas declare that truth is one only. Water is called by different names in different languages. In Telugu it is neeru, in English it is water, in Hindi it is pani, in Tamil it a thanni, and in Sanskrit it is vari. Though the names are different, water is one and the same. Likewise, all hearts are full of compassion. Every thought should be filled with compassion. We use the word ‘mankind’. He who has kindness is man. What is the use of life without kindness? One who is filled with kindness is near the Divine. A man of kindness is a friend of God. Such a person considers God as their mother, father, wealth, knowledge, and everything. Knowledge also emanates from the heart. ..................................... Sri Sathya Sai

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

' Success '...
The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.

Hinduism is so elastic and subtle that the most profound Methodist and crudest Idolator are equally at home with it.” .......... George Bernard Shaw
.......................................................................................
“The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths.
It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.”

' Truly Human '...
I will say this quite plainly, what truly human is -and don't be afraid of this word- love. And I mean it even with everything that burdens love or, i could say it better, responsibility is actually love, as Pascal said: 'without concupiscence' [without lust]... love exists without worrying being loved.

Love is . . . and you are becoming more and more aware daily that there is no other Reality than this. Hold firmly to your faith in the infinite power of Love, and remind yourselves regularly that you do know this, even though you cannot be unaware of the vast number of places on your beautiful planet where this most definitely does not seem to be true. But, truly, there is only Love, anything else is unreal and is in fact dissolving or disintegrating from the egoic aspects of your minds as you turn more and more frequently to the true knowing of your hearts. God is with you always, and you are beginning to feel Her Presence more and more frequently as you go within, to your holy inner sanctuaries, and invite Her to fill your hearts with the warmth and complete acceptance of Her Love for each and every one of you. Keep on doing this, it is a very effective and powerful awakening tool, and an essential part of your awakening process.
...............................................................
As I have often told you . . . you all incarnated to BE! Being is extremely effective and potent. You knew that to focus on doing this would be the best way for you to assist in humanity’s collective awakening process, and your main pre-incarnational intent was to assist. However, on arrival you did fall, like all who incarnate into human form, into the deep sleep of amnesia, and so you too are in the process of awakening and finding that living it is difficult at times. Your egos are constantly attempting – often rather too skillfully (don’t underestimate this) – to distract you from your true life purpose by fully engaging you with obtaining the essential requirements of material life, food, shelter, and clothing, for yourselves and for those who depend on you.
..............................................................
Nevertheless, your awakening process is intensifying and unstoppable because for you all to awaken is God’s divine and most loving intent, and therefore you are awakening. There is no other option. You are eternally in the Presence of Mother/Father/God, and She is nudging you – now . . . and now . . . and now – towards full and complete wakefulness. Trust your Mother, Her Will is always in your best interests, and is most carefully designed to deliver to each of you personally exactly what you desire and need, namely your full awareness and the resultant joy of just Being . . . as you reside permanently in Her loving Presence, where you are enthusiastically and happily at Home.Life is Love, the eternal state of being in which you were created, and the moment when you lay your bodies to rest – and in doing so thank them for their loving service – is but a transition back into the awareness of the state of Reality in which you have your eternal existence.
..........................................................
To be incarnate as a human in form is an extremely short term experience, an experience you chose to undergo in order to greatly assist in humanity’s awakening. As you know from your world history humanity’s presence on Earth is something that happened very recently when compared to the age of your planet, or of the universe. When humans first arrived on Earth they felt lost and abandoned because of their amnesia, and so they had no memory of Reality. Without awareness of Mother/Father/God, the divine Being who cares for you all in every moment, and due to the fear engendered by that state they felt an extremely strong need for their own personal god. Because of the limitations that being in form imposed upon them they were only able to conceive of and invent an authoritarian figure, such as a father who would obviously demand their subservience and obedience, rather like, but seemingly much more impressive and powerful than any male family or tribal leader they had experienced in their own lives. Over time various tribes and cultures established their own imaginary god-figures and invented a set of dogmatic rules that he demanded that they honor and obey . . . or else!
............................................................
Your collective choice to awaken is as a result of your growing awareness of the power of Love and of your growing realization that only Love is REAL – that It is God! And in that awareness you have of course realized that Love is totally accepting and totally without judgment. This realization is a massive accomplishment after eons of fearful subservience to the various idols of different nations, cultures and religions.
............................................................
Mother/Father/God has been waiting patiently for this awareness to arise and flourish within you all. There have been previous moments when this realization almost occurred, but Now, finally, it is firmly established, and so your collective awakening is assured. It has always been divinely assured, but now it is coming to its most amazingly beautiful fruition.
..............................................................
For the mass of humanity to once more know and recognize that there is only the ONE – Mother/Father/God – which includes, without exception, every sentient conscious and aware being in divine Union with Itself for all eternity, is an experience of ceaseless immortality in infinite peace and joy. Knowing that, while you are still experiencing the temporality of physical life in form, is bringing to each of you, as your awareness strengthens and intensifies, comfort and the kind of revelation you have heard of but most likely never yet experienced. As I have said before: Humanity is on a roll!
..................................................................
Focus your attention as often and as intently as you can on Reality, on Love, because doing so powerfully strengthens your awareness of your Oneness with It. Whatever you have been experiencing as humans in form has been – as your egos have always intended – very effective in distracting you from regularly taking the necessary quiet time to allow yourselves to access your deep inner knowing of the reality of Who You truly are. You do know who you are, but your experiences as humans growing up in a culture that demands – even if very gently – your acceptance of it and engagement with it, have very frequently led you, even encouraged you, to feel unworthy, incompetent and ashamed of yourselves. Those feelings are utterly and completely invalid. However, because of the competitive nature of most cultures you are often encouraged to compare yourselves to others which adds to your sense of personal inadequacy, leading you to live lives struggling and striving to do better, or lives of depression and misery.
................................................................
Do not compare yourselves to others. You are each totally unique expressions of God, shining examples of differentiated beings inseparably in Union with Her. Her Will for you is that you be fully and completely yourselves, and thus expressing Her as only you can. And your individual will is in complete alignment with Hers when you allow yourselves to be true to yourselves, and itis why you experience stress and confusion when others demand that you conform to a set of arbitrary rules instead of just being the creative expressions of God’s Love that you each are. What you truly want for yourselves is always also the divine Will.

' Energies '...
Presumably there are energies, to which each human is sensitive, that we cannot yet detect by means of our instruments. Built into our brains and our bodies are very sensitive tuneable receivers for energies that we do not yet know about in our science but that each one of us can detect under the proper circumstances and the proper state of mind. We can tune our nervous systems and bodies to receive these energies. We can also tune our brains and bodies to transmit these energies.

For in prosperity a man is often puffed up with pride, whereas tribulations chasten and humble him through suffering and sorrow.

In prosperity a man often destroys the good he has done; amidst difficulties he often repairs what he long since did in the way of wickedness.

' The Nazarine Speaks '...
Awakening is the main event occurring on Earth right now....................
Through John Smallman..................
Humanity’s collective intent to awaken from the dream or nightmare – that you are presently experiencing as the worldly material reality of extreme chaos, confusion, and conflict – will inevitably occur because, of course, it is also the divine Will of Mother/Father/God. It is time to awaken into Reality, the state of Oneness that you have never left, from the illusory environment with which you have been engaged for eons as you attempted to prove to yourselves that you were autonomous beings who could live happily and successfully separated from Mother/Father/God your divine Source – LOVE. That was an insane momentary thought that you concocted as the unreal material environment, seemingly disconnected from God, in which you experience yourselves as humans in form with no knowledge of your real and true nature. It is a state of intense forgetfulness – Amnesia – which is now being dissolved. Sleep is no longer an option, you will awaken into the Reality that is the eternal and full awareness of your Oneness with Source in every moment of your endless, eternal, and most joyful existence.......................
Your Father has your backs. You are utterly safe, and the dream or unreality that you have been experiencing and choosing to engage with for seemingly eons is dissolving, disintegrating, falling apart as you choose to no longer believe in its existence and, instead, return to full awareness of the Reality of Love, Mother/Father/God, the only Reality, and of your eternal presence within It..........................
He is mightily assisting you in your collective awakening process, as are all those in the non physical realms, and also many who are presently in form purely for this purpose – including all of you reading or listening to this message. Awakening is the main event occurring on Earth right now, and the collective process that is bringing it to a most glorious fruition is held as a most powerful intent both by God, by us in the non physical realms, and, most powerfully, by many millions of humans. The energy of that divine intent is way beyond your human abilities to conceive of, and I keep reminding you of it because you become so easily distracted by daily events in your human lives locally and around the world.....................
However, the power of your individual intent, as well as your collective intent to awaken – fully and most lovingly supported by Mother/Father/God – is exceptionally intense and vigorous now, and consequently no other option is possible or available. You are coming Home, and that is what it seems like, but of course you have never left!In fact, of course, you are already at Home, you are simply dreaming that you are not, and to awaken is to release yourselves from that dream which has – by your own choice – held you captive, utterly fascinated and terrified for seemingly eons, and possibly countless previous life times as humans in form.....................
Your true lives, your real lives are lives in the eternal Presence of Mother/Father/God in utter and complete joy. In your dream you most desperately miss that, you most desperately miss fully experiencing the Love that you are in yourselves and as One with God. That is why you all spend so much of your human lives looking for love, seeking for love in relationships with others. Seeking the love that can only be found in the Oneness of your eternal Presence within Mother/Father/God......................
Sometimes you do find a partner with whom you resonate intensely, but however intense the relationship may become, there is always something missing. You may come to accept it and stay in the relationship despite its lack of perfection, or you may find that you seemingly have no option but to bring it to an end. Whichever option you choose is fine as long as you treat the other with respect. However you choose to deal with it, you will never be judged for your inadequacy or inability to make it work, because you are all always doing your best, even if others suggest otherwise, and God knows and honors you for this. You are and always will be Her absolutely perfect creations, beautiful extensions of Herself, individuated and differentiated from Her by your choice to be in form, but nevertheless at the same time always in Union with Her. THERE IS NO SEPARATION!.....................................
Therefore, during your absolutely essential quiet and alone time daily, when you go within, to your individual and holy sanctuaries, to reconnect with the knowing that you are One with and have never, even for an instant, been separated from your divine Source, set the intent to intensify that deep inner knowing. It is your right to know God in all Her Glory, to know that you are eternally One with Her and to know how much She loves you........................
The worldwide conflicts, that are causing the intense pain and suffering that vast numbers are experiencing are bringing clearly into the awareness of billions of you the total insanity of choosing fear over Love. Love is your eternal nature, and the truth of that is becoming increasingly apparent, despite the apparent belief to which so many are still clinging which would attempt to convince you that Love is weak! The strength of Love is clearly demonstrated over and over again, and you can see this and be aware of it when you observe how people in crisis situations so willingly help others without regard for their own safety. Doing that is to live as your true selves, instead of hiding behind masks that so many have assumed in order to cloak their sense of unworthiness or incompetence from one another. You are all, each and every sentient being, totally worthy and competent divine beings following earthly paths that you planned for yourselves with divine guidance before incarnating.........................
Unfortunately most of humanity has forgotten this divine truth, and your upbringing into cultures that are politically, ethnically, racially, religiously, and globally dogmatically divisive, has encouraged you to be constantly judging others to compare them to your own beliefs, and then either welcome them into or dismiss them from your circle of friends, or from the nations in which you reside...............
Trust yourselves, trust your intuition, and know that you can always choose to live from the honesty and integrity that is a major aspect of Love, and therefore of you. Let go of any felt need to “game the system” because it is unfair, because doing that only aggravates and multiplies the number of injustices to which it gives rise.............................
You are Love, so demonstrate that daily by being true to yourselves in every moment – and by forgiving yourselves for any errors you make – and then enjoy the totally valid sense of self-acceptance and self-approval that arises within you. You are each expressions of God in form, so let go of any fear to reveal the truth of who you are. Instead honor yourselves as does your divine Mother, and be and show your real selves fearlessly as you live your daily lives, because doing so is one of the main reasons that you chose to be a human in form at this precise moment...............................
Your loving brother, Jesus.
' Poets '...
By failing to read or listen to poets, society dooms itself to inferior modes of articulation, those of the politician, the salesman, or the charlatan. In other words, it forfeits its own evolutionary potential. For what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom is precisely the gift of speech. Poetry is not a form of entertainment and in a certain sense not even a form of art, but it is our anthropological, genetic goal. Our evolutionary, linguistic beacon.

A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, A song's not a song 'til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, Love isn't love 'til you give it away!
............................................. Oscar Hammerstein II
' Inconveniences '...
If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.
...................................... Robert Fulghum
' One Day '...
One day a long time from now you'll cease to care anymore whom you please or what anybody has to say about you. That's when you'll finally produce the work you're capable of.
................................. J. D. Salinger
' That's the Story '...
The world you see is just a movie in your mind.
Rocks dont see it.
Bless and sit down.
Forgive and forget.
Practice kindness all day to everybody
and you will realize you’re already
in heaven now.
That’s the story.
That’s the message.
Nobody understands it,
nobody listens, they’re
all running around like chickens with heads cut
off. I will try to teach it but it will
be in vain, s’why I’ll
end up in a shack
praying and being
cool and singing
by my woodstove
making pancakes.
................................. Jack Kerouac

' Lightly Child '...
It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling.
............................................... Aldous Huxley
' The World Changes '...
The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives.
..................................... Armistead Maupin
' To Be Simple '...
To be simple means to make a choice about what's important, and let go of all the rest. When we are able to do this, our vision expands, our heads clear, and we can better see the details of our lives in all their incredible wonder and beauty.

' Believe in Yourself '...

' Success '...
Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.
..................................... Jim Rohn
' Your Time is Limited '...
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
.......................................... Steve Jobs
' Capitalism '...
The essential notion of a capitalist society ... is voluntary cooperation, voluntary exchange. The essential notion of a socialist society is force.

A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the approximate depth of his ignorance.

' Yesterday '...
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
....................................... Rumi
' The Remedy '...
Your Remedy is within you, but you do not sense it....
Your Sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it....
You Presume you are a small entity,
But within you is enfolded the entire universe.....
You are indeed the evident book,
By whose alphabet the hidden becomes the manifest....
Therefore, you have no need to look beyond yourself,
What you seek is within you, if only you reflect...
...................................Ali ibn Abi Talib
' But, my Soul !'...
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
