In love with the Universe . . .

I know what I want to say, but am struggling with how to begin .  .  . 

Perhaps, the beginning is just that .  .  .  the beginning .  .  .  Just say something!  And go from there .  .  . 

We live, we exist, we experience .  .  .

And in that existence and experience, there are questions, statements, and conclusions .  .  .  Some accurate, some not .  .  .

Let's take a deep breath, and hold .  .  .  and hold .  .  .  and hold .  .  .

Within that breath, is the Truth .  .  . 

As the Universe breathes life into us, we are created as Divine .  .  .  We have so much difficulty understanding that .  .  .

Light .  .  .  Spirit .  .  .  Body .  .  .




Until next time .  .  .  Ciao!!

Choosing Generosity

Many of us consider ourselves to be generous . . . We give to charity, we volunteer our time and energy, we serve, we do good works . . . All those things are absolutely worthwhile, benefit mankind, and are life enhancing . . .

However, do we truly understand the POWER of generosity? Perhaps if we did, we would be even MORE generous than we are . . .

It all starts with generosity . . . Personal transformation can begin with a generous heart, and a generous nature . . . A gift given with a generous heart is a testament to the connection between all beings . . . We are truly ONE, and sharing reinforces that Oneness . . . In Western society, we experience such extreme separation . . . Many of us are deluded into thinking we're each an island, even though we have family and friends whom we love, and who love us . . . But that love often lacks the connectedness necessary to experience the Oneness, the true reality . . .

When we give, we are letting go of the hoarding, grasping quality many human beings exhibit. How many times have we encountered people who aspire to accumulate as much as they can? As much money, furniture, cars, clothing, you name it . . . And more to the point, how many times have WE personally seen that quality in ourselves?

Those who are truly generous are loved! Being truly generous means giving with a pure heart, with pure intention . . . Seeking nothing in return, giving perhaps anonymously, or giving but not doing so publicly so as to make a spectacle . . .

We give because it makes us feel good . . . And, it makes us feel good because it reinforces our connection with the person receiving, and therefore our Oneness with all beings . . .

And here are some other benefits . . . Nobody is likely to hate a person who is truly generous . . . Generosity given from love attracts love . . . The generosity of the pure heart sends a vibration into the Universe which is multiplied many times over, as that generosity encourages others to do the same . . .

Imagine an existence where every human being understands the power of generosity, and then acts upon it? Imagine the beauty of feeling connected to every other being, and they to us . . . THAT is beauty and it has POWER!! The true power of humanity harnassed for LIGHT!!

Until next time . . . Ciao!!

I grew up . . .

.  .  .  in the 60's .  .  .  


That tells you how old I am!  


This is what I listened to .  .  .



Until next time .  .  .  Ciao!!

Non, rien de rien . . .

 Edith Piaf .  .  .


This is my favourite song .  .  .  It brings me to a screeching halt whenever I hear it .  .  .


It speaks of life and its meaning .  .  .  Forgetting the past, the good and the bad, regretting nothing, and looking forward .  .  .


I believe that as Edith Piaf sang these lyrics, they were coming from mind, heart and spirit .  .  .  In her life, she endured many painful moments, but she always rose above them and brought joy to those around her .  .  .



Until next time .  .  .  Ciao!!

My God, your God, and the non-God . . .

I have a deep belief in God .  .  .  the Source .  .  .  the Supreme Being .  .  .

And, this belief and trust guides my thoughts, emotions, and physiology/actions/behaviours in many ways .  .  .

But, a God with human qualities and personality?  No .  .  .

A personal God?  No .  .  .  A Christian God?  A Judaic God?  An Islamic God?  A Hindu God?  No .  .  .

What is the God I speak of?  It's pure consciousness .  .  .  Not necessarily understandable by all human beings .  .  .

It isn't He or She .  .  .  It's the ultimate Unity .  .  .  The Middle Pillar in a Kabbalistic sense .  .  .  The Middle Way .  .  .

What does God want from us?  Wherever we are on the Karmic Ladder, the expectations of God are different .  .  .  We aren't all able to act on the same level .  .  .

For me .  .  .  God is demanding certain things .  .  .

One .  .  .  Wish the best for all beings .  .  .

Two .  .  .  Ask for what I need to fulfill my purpose in this life .  .  .

Three .  .  .  Express gratitude consciously .  .  .

Four .  .  .  Think beautiful thoughts .  .  .

Five .  .  .  All things occur in the right time and right place if we're connected, and if we can see the meaning in events in our lives .  .  .

Six .  .  .  All beings are a manifestation of the Divine .  .  .  If we treat them as such, it has a profound effect upon our behaviour .  .  .

In short, God isn't loving, isn't unloving, isn't black, white, or gray .  .  .  God IS .  .  .

IS what?  

Is whatever we need God to be given where we are in our place in the time/space continuum in this lifetime .  .  .

In the end however, points one through six aren't a bad place to start .  .  .

Until next time .  .  .  Ciao!!
