Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we__ find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.

We are never so free as when we own our sacred serfdom...

The days before, even the score of what you are filled in with today. What colour are you, the tangled hues of years gone by that affected you?

Take heart, brothers and sisters. Keep working on keeping yourself clear, balanced and in a peace. It takes some kind of daily practice to remain in a higher consciousness and maintain our center in the heavy, chaotic energy created by humans at this time. I always find that those called upon to change our world are the most affected by it.

Make peace with yourself, and both heaven and earth will make peace with you.

God Will Save MeA terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes. They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately.A faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, __ will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine miracle to save me.__he neighbors came by his house and said to him, __e__e leaving and there is room for you in our car, please come with us!_ But the man declined. __ have faith that God will save me.__s the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe paddled by and called to him, __urry and come into my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!_ But the man again said, __o thanks, God will save me.__he floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at the window. __e will come up and rescue you!_ they shouted. But the man refused, waving them off saying, __se your time to save someone else! I have faith that God will save me!__he flood waters rose higher and higher and the man had to climb up to his rooftop.A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder and pleaded with the man, "Grab my hand and I will pull you up!" But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. __o thank you! God will save me!__hortly after, the house broke up and the floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned.When in Heaven, the man stood before God and asked, __ put all of my faith in You. Why didn__ You come and save me?__nd God said, __on, I sent you a warning. I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?

Those who believe in deathare the ones who believe we are born.The ones who understandwe are in a dream-like unknown space right now,will believe neither in death nor in life.

If you cannot insult a god, you yet do not "get" God.

Simply put, That Which Is - what most of us call God - is not a physical person nor a this or that spirit etc. Is the Quintessence of All That Is.

The unwholesome may be otherwise, but the Whole is ever holy.

Be careful which spirit you allow to dwell in your body.

I shine my light on every dark thought that arises and they turn into whispers with wings and fly away.

In utter humility, bow to What Is. And in time, crying one's guts out, howling, bowing to IT, "knowing" comes. As a gift of the Divine.

Two simple ways to win a war against the world:First, find the faults within;Second, there is no war.

I have faith that all is well, that all good things come to me in Divine timing. I can relax and surrender to the truth that I am divinely guided and cared for.

Constantly apply cheerfulness, if for no other reason than because you are on this spiritual path. Have a sense of gratitude to everything, even difficult emotions, because of their potential to wake you up.

The Only God left standing 'There' is Oneness and Unity of Everything. And not a fancied man-like god - yours or mine. Get 'IT'?

The continuum of infinite, immortal Life is occasionally interrupted by a brief stroll into a body of highly limiting thought. Jim Young, Author of 'Aware in a World Asleep' and more!
