About me: Author, mystic and lover of life.
I believe it is enough to simply BE.
But if more detail is needed, then my intentions are:
- transcending identity and knowing the true Self as enlightenment
- being a channel of infinite love
- being a channel of Wisdom
- being a channel of healing
- being a channel of abundance
- being a channel of energy
- being a channel of peace
- being devoted and inspiring in all the works of life, in the name of the Highest Good.
This is the prayer of this heart:
Divine One, you hold us in your arms like a mother holding her child.
You are the pure awareness in which we move and have our being
From you comes forth the subjectivity through which all life is known
You are the Unity that unites all the diverse appearances
The One consciousness behind the apparent multiplicity.
You are the Light that has no opposite
The Truth that has no untruth.
You are the endless dance of stillness
The paradox beyond all minds
In love you create the appearance of individual beings
In love you lead these appearances to remember that they are indeed you
There is only Oneness, there has only ever been Oneness,
the Oneness you reveal as you bring us out of this dream-trance
You are love, joy and infinite peace
You are Divine Lord, Beloved Goddess, Great Spirit
In you are All Things
Hallelujah! Amen
Who I'd like to meet: Authors, mystics and lovers of life! (There are more than 40 MySpace people who I would call 'top friends' and the list below will rotate. But it gives a flavour of the range of blogs and pages I am into).
Hey , It's that time of year again, and as an independent artist trying to get their music heard, we'd really appreciate if you'd buy our debut album, "HOBS END", not only for yourself (if you haven't already), but also for your friends and family this holiday season. We had the guys from Bose-Collins of London do our album artwork, it includes a 12 page booklet of incredible imagery with collector's jewel case. Definitely makes a nice gift. We Thank You for helping us get our music out and heard. Peace & Love, Chance
I'm excited to announce the release of my Enchanted Garden CD
a guided meditation with music by Joanne and Leah Shenandoah!
It makes a great Holiday Gift!
Today is the day for me to say I really appreciate you being a friend of mine here on myspace. This myspace account is about 3 years old and I haven't done much activity with it. I'm trying to change that by connecting with people on a more personal level.
May our hearts and minds connect and make meaningful things happen in our lifes in an extraordinary way!
It is with the hope of the sunrise that we believe today’s shortcomings are the dawning of tomorrow’s opportunities to resolve them. So, beneath tonight’s starlit sky, sleep unencumbered with the anxieties of tomorrow, for they are not certain amidst a heart of such sweet hope. Therefore, rest peacefully, my friends. Rest in the thoughts unconditional love. Even if they be as simple and sincere as mine for you.
If you wish to be My disciple, offer yourself to Me with all your heart.
AS I offered Myself willingly to God the Father for your sins with hands outstretched and body naked on the cross, so that nothing remained in Me that had not become a complete sacrifice to appease the divine wrath, so you should be willing to offer yourself to Me day by day in a pure and holy oblation, together with all your faculties and affections, with as much inward devotion as you can.
What more do I ask than that you give yourself entirely to Me? I care not for anything else you may give Me, for I seek not your gift but you. Just as it would not be enough for you to have everything if you did not have Me, so whatever you give cannot please Me if you do not give yourself.
Offer yourself to Me, therefore, and give yourself entirely for God -- your offering will be accepted.
But if you rely upon self, and do not offer your free will to Mine, your offering will be incomplete and the union between us imperfect. Hence, if you desire to attain grace and freedom of heart, let the free offering of yourself into the hands of God precede your every action. This is why so few are inwardly free and enlightened -- they know not how to renounce themselves entirely.
My word stands: " in the same way, you must give up everything you have. If you don't, you can't be my disciple." Luke 14:33 The Imitation of Christ ~ Thomas à Kempis
IF YOU wish to make progress in virtue, live in the fear of the Lord, do not look for too much freedom, and discipline your senses. Repentance opens the door to many blessings which dissoluteness usually destroys.
No liberty is true and no joy is genuine unless it is founded in the fear of the Lord and a good conscience.
Happy is the man who can cast away every cause of distraction and bring himself to holy contrition. Happy is the man who puts away from him whatsoever may stain or burden his conscience.
Pray humbly to the Lord, therefore, that He may give you the spirit of contrition and say with the Prophet: "Feed me, Lord, with the bread of mourning and give me to drink of tears in full measure." ~ Thomas a Kempis
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. ~ Hebrews 10:19, 22
I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. ~ John 8:12
Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. ~ Exodus 19:5-6
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. ~John 1:1-5
Consecrate all acts to the Lord. Then you will be freed. He who tries to live in this spirit will be able to do self-surrender unto the Lord. Gradually he ascends the spiritual path step by step. His greedy nature is slowly dissolved.
The Knowledge of the Self is the most profound secret. It can hardly be described in words. It can be realized only through direct experience or spiritual intuition. The self-luminous, eternal is ever shining in the chambers of the hearts of men.
God regards all living beings alike. He is the enemy of none. The egoistic man only has created a wide gulf between himself and God by his wrong attitude. God is closer to you than your own breath, nearer than your hands and feet.
God is like fire. Just as fire removes cold from those who draw near it but does not remove the cold from those who keep away from it. ~Swami Sivananda
Yes, Joseph, please keep me informed! Was Thanksgiving yesterday, and wow....what a difference a year makes! Am grateful for so much.....just got "healing and Recovery" (was on a wait list) and upon opening the book, I instantly went to page 249, in "handling major crises"....so incredibly pertinent!! As usual, Hawkins provides a deeper perspective and viewpoint....will explain more later....Sending love, peace and a big hug!
