Be foolishly in love,
because love is all there is.
There is no way into presence
except through a love exchange.
If someone asks, But what is love?
answer, Dissolving the will.

What is prayer?
“Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky - up, up, up - into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.”
- L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Love ~ Rumi
There is no Love greater than Love with no object.
For then you, yourself, have become LOVE, itself.

Matthew 17:20
"You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible." Matthew 17:20
The thousand petaled lotus
You are sad — be aware.
Let sadness become your meditation.
You are angry — be aware.
You are in love — be aware.
Use all possibilities, all opportunities to be more and more aware.
Slowly slowly, the momentum gathers, and one day something explodes in you.
That explosion is known in the East as the flowering of the one-thousand-petalled lotus.
OSHO

Light Will someday split you open
Even if your life is now a cage.
Little by little, You will turn into stars.
Little by little, You will turn into
The whole sweet, amorous Universe.
Love will surely burst you wide open
Into an unfettered, booming new galaxy.
You will become so free
In a wonderful, secret
And pure Love That flows
From a conscious, One-pointed, Infinite Light.
Even then, my dear, The Beloved will have fulfilled
Just a fraction, Just a fraction!
Of a promise He wrote upon your heart.
For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,
Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain
You hold the title to.
O look again within yourself,
For I know you were once the elegant host
To all the marvels in creation.
When your soul begins
To ever bloom and laugh
And spin in Eternal Ecstasy-
O little by little, You will turn into God.

God and Goddess, Dual Unity
I honor the God and the Goddess,
The eternal parents of the universe.
The Lover, out of boundless love,
Takes the form of the Beloved.
What Beauty!
Both are made of the same nectar
And share the same food.
Out of Supreme Love
They swallow each other up,
But separate again
For the joy of being two.
They are not completely the same
But neither are they different.
None can tell exactly what they are.
How intense is their longing
To be with each other.
This is their greatest bliss.
Never, even in jest,
Do they allow their unity
To be disturbed.
They are so averse to separation
That even though they have become
This entire world,
Never, for a moment, do they let a difference
Come between them.
. . .
They sit together
In the same place,
Both wearing a garment of light.
From the beginning of time
They have been together,
Reveling in their own Supreme Love.
The difference they created
To enjoy this world
Had one glimpse of their intimacy
And could not help
But merge back into the bliss
Found in their union.
Without the God,
There is no Goddess,
And without the Goddess,
There is no God.
How sweet is their love!
The entire universe
Is too small to contain them
Yet they live happily
In the tiniest particle. . . .

"The taste of a good pear is such that when you eat one, when your teeth sink into the bliss of one, it becomes a wholly engrossing activity. You want to do nothing else but eat your pear. You would rather sit than stand. You would rather be alone than in company. You would rather have silence than music. All your senses but taste fall inactive. You see nothing, you hear nothing, you feel nothing—or only as it helps you to appreciate the divine taste of your pear."

Placating God
"This need to "make God happy" emerged from your errant thought that God is somehow not happy. This is a crazy idea, because God is Happiness Itself."

The Process of Life
The Essence of Who You Are knows precisely and exactly when the Process of Life Itself calls for you to merge with the Oneness and to emerge from it, in order for you to Know the bliss of the Oneness through the Experience and the glory of its Individuation.
The system works perfectly. The balance is precise. The design carries the elegance of a snowflake.
To the Oneness you return, and from the Oneness you emerge, over and over again, eternally and forever, and even forever more.

The Devil, Hell and Salvation
"Men invented the devil to scare people into doing what they wanted, under the threat of separation from God if they did not... Yet now you need be afraid no more. For nothing can, or ever will, separate you from Me. You and I are One. We cannot be anything else if I Am What I Am: All That Is."

"You are all on a journey into a new world, a world of your dreams, a world where everything comes true; that world is on a different vibration and you are all on a journey to move from one vibration to the next, one dimension to the next. In the new world you will create your reality from pure love. Allow the love to flow and let the love dissolve what is not love. Remember as the love flows into your bodies something must flow out. So for those of you that are feeling something other than love just know that it is okay; the love is releasing emotions that are not love and those emotions will come and they will go."

The fisherman and the businessman (brazilian proverb)
There was once a businessman who was sitting by the beach in a small Brazilian village.As he sat, he saw a Brazilian fisherman rowing a small boat towards the shore having caught quite few big fish.
The businessman was impressed and asked the fisherman, “How long does it take you to catch so many fish?”
The fisherman replied, “Oh, just a short while.”
“Then why don’t you stay longer at sea and catch even more?” The businessman was astonished.
“This is enough to feed my whole family,” the fisherman said.
The businessman then asked, “So, what do you do for the rest of the day?”
The fisherman replied, “Well, I usually wake up early in the morning, go out to sea and catch a few fish, then go back and play with my kids. In the afternoon, I take a nap with my wife, and evening comes, I join my buddies in the village for a drink — we play guitar, sing and dance throughout the night.”
The businessman offered a suggestion to the fisherman.
“I am a PhD in business management. I could help you to become a more successful person. From now on, you should spend more time at sea and try to catch as many fish as possible. When you have saved enough money, you could buy a bigger boat and catch even more fish. Soon you will be able to afford to buy more boats, set up your own company, your own production plant for canned food and distribution network. By then, you will have moved out of this village and to Sao Paulo, where you can set up HQ to manage your other branches.”
The fisherman continues, “And after that?”
The businessman laughs heartily, “After that, you can live like a king in your own house, and when the time is right, you can go public and float your shares in the Stock Exchange, and you will be rich.”
The fisherman asks, “And after that?”
The businessman says, “After that, you can finally retire, you can move to a house by the fishing village, wake up early in the morning, catch a few fish, then return home to play with kids, have a nice afternoon nap with your wife, and when evening comes, you can join your buddies for a drink, play the guitar, sing and dance throughout the night!”
The fisherman was puzzled, “Isn’t that what I am doing now?”

True Power
"Power is not an energy that dominates, suffocates or causes distress to others as many are persuaded to understand on the Earth. Power is your life force energy, the very essence of your being, the fuel that drives and maintains your activity both spiritually and physically. Power is the magical, active, transformational, focused, strength and purpose of the Creator. Power is the energy inside of you that is loving, caring, compassionate and supportive to yourself and others. Power is your core strength, your intuition, your soul and the Creator combined as one within you. True power can only be found within you, true power is not even within you but it is you as you are now, and as your higher greater self also.
Many do not associate themselves or their truth as being powerful, the words that spring to mind when searching or experiencing your inner soul energies are 'love' and 'peace' but power is your truth, power is love and peace. In many ways a person who is connected to the source of their soul and the Creator within them or that they manifest as, who exists in love and peace eternally is far more powerful than a person living from fear or the ego. Yet we see those who hold and create fear as having a greater power over others. The person who exists as love and peace wealds a power that is immensely strong and expansive because this person holds the ability to transform situations, experiences and their own reality. They have to power to use their mind and energy to create positive change that brings about a greater presence of the Creator's light. This person guided by the will of the Creator has the potential to create anything through focus, clarity of mind and working as one and in balance with all."

Soul Love
"Soul love is a steady, consistent radiation of the Universal Presence of Love that is the very essence of the universe. Soul love is a state of being a part of the oneness - where you are accepted and where you accept, where you are loved and where you love, and where you feel connected to the greater whole of which you are always a part."

What Does God Want for Me?
"I want for you what you want for you. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't sit here and make a judgment, request by request, whether something should be granted you.
My law is the law of cause and effect, not the law of We'll See. There is nothing you can't have if you choose it. Even before you ask, I will have given it to you. Do you believe this?"
Conversations With God, Book 1
