"Don't try to force anything. Let life be a deep let-go. See God opening millions of flowers everyday without forcing the buds"

- Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Gratitude

"Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find it increases. I like to bless with love all that is in my life right now--my home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs--the money I do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and to enjoy this incredible planet." 

~Louise L. Hay

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” 

― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Still seeking?

We came to EXPERIENCE the Authentic Human Experience. To laugh, cry, dance, love, scream, be silent & FEEL. Revel in it ALL. Bask in the tears and in the laughter. Don’t cheat yourself by trying to “ascend” and “enlighten” and “seek” your life away. This isn’t about ascending; it is about bringing Heaven to Earth. This isn’t about seeking; it is about embracing who you already ARE. A truly enlightened being is one who is balanced & blended in their non-physical AND physical selves, living life authentically as a grounded human BEing. JUST BE. Enjoy and bask in your NOW, your physical human NOW.

Osho on Enlightenment

Enlightenment is finding that there is nothing to find. Enlightenment is to come to know that there is nowhere to go. Enlightenment is the understanding that this is all, that this is perfect, that this is it. Enlightenment is not an achievement, it is an understanding that there is nothing to achieve, nowhere to go. You are already there - you have never been away. You cannot be away from there. God has never been missed. Maybe you have forgotten, that's all. Maybe you have fallen asleep, that's all.

"Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.” 

Miguel Ruiz

 

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.


 - Rumi

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.
~Rumi

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.

- Rumi
