issues, questions, and possibilities

Why is it that so many people believe organized religions?

People are scared. Whether they deny it or not, they are scared. They have been thrown into this life by the powers that be and look for some sort of foundation as security. That security is interpreted (subconsciously and consciously) as "whatever is popular is right." If there's a church on every corner then the church must have something good and true to say. Hell, if billions believe it then it must have some validity, right? Those chapels are mighty pretty, yes - there's something holy about them, something divine.

These people are not stupid or ignorant, they are simply human beings who have fallen to the games of their mind. Fear is an animal emotion, and whether one realizes it or not, it is the cause of false beliefs in fake gods. Just as the Greeks had their gods, we have GOD today. GOD who will bring you here only to judge you. GOD who will cut you down if you are too human or go against the commandments of antiquity.

The problem of organized religion is a problem with no immediate source. It is a problem fed my misinterpretations, ego-infused mindsets, animal emotions, and the passing down of falsehoods from one generation to the next. It is the pain of being an animal that has people rushing to believe something better must exist. This is also the reason poverty stricken people tend to have stronger religious convictions. They want to have faith that a time of prosperity is drawing closer with each passing day. It is also why the wealthy tend to feign true, devote religion. They are so satisfied with this life (for the wrong reasons) that they give up any efforts towards something else sustainable.

In truth, hope in the future, hope in another life, and hope in a heaven will only bring one temporary and false security (just as money does with the rich) and take he or she out of the true life that surrounds them. When they reach that future, they will wind up just as dead, with no heaven to comfort them. Why believe in those things unknowable and unprovable when life at its core has so much to offer?

And why the hostility towards those who question today's prominent religions?

Those who question Christianity, Islam, etc. pose a threat. Not a threat to the divine order of things as those followers would have you believe, but a threat to their own comfort and security. When you tell someone who has all but convinced themselves that there is a specific God, a Heaven, and a Hell - that what they believe is bollocks - they resist. Why? Because you're showing them reality. You're telling them that beauty, serenity, and peace are not something of tomorrow, they are something of today, if you reach for them. You're telling them that they can no longer find comfort in an untrue future written by men of the past. You're telling them that they are animal and that they will always be animal because they are an animal in the now. And now is all there is.

Witchcraft doesn't exist. Magic doesn't exist. Rituals do not work. Praying does not work. It's a fierce reality, but it is reality that must be accepted one way or another if people are to truly live. I will tell you that you're dead loved one is not in Heaven (or, for that matter, Hell). I will tell you that praying for someone who is ill is worth nothing, accept to comfort the griever. Throwing a penny in a wishing well and making a wish will most likely not bring you that wish. If that wish does come to you it is from your own doing. Do not thank the well. Thank yourself.

If you tell people there's no such thing as good luck and bad, right and wrong, they get defensive. Because they must question all they thought they knew. Nature does not know superstitions, it only knows balance. Just as you should give yourself credit for achieving your wishes and goals, you should give unknowable Nature credit for your being, not a fake God seeking only to judge, condemn, or save you.

Nature is a product of God, no?

No. God is Nature. All things, no matter how synthetic, come from it. We are it and we need it to survive. Nature is not something "God" created, Nature is God. One thing that is truly amazing is how far astray we have been led in regards to nature. It's almost as though we think ourselves above it. You are nature through and through. Your species, the human race, evolved in it and you now survive off it. No matter how far humanity gets in its evolutionary progress, it will never escape the fact that everything it does, everything it is, and everything it senses is Nature - a phenomenon, and nothing else. The Earth is not simply a disposable structure made for our endless use. It is a necessity. Men would not be able to walk if it weren't for their legs. Men would not be able to think if it weren't for the complexity of their brains. Apples would not taste good if it weren't for the intricate taste buds on men's tongues. These were not given to you by some other. They simply have evolved out of that thing undefinable, that thing called Nature.

Humanity has forgotten what it means for something to be natural. Something natural is something undefinable. And why define something you can't define? Let it be and realize that some of the most profound things in life - life itself, most notably - have no need for a definition. Life asks nothing of you but to live. Your body wants nothing more than to work... work so that you may experience this life in this body, and so on.

Faith gives people hope? What's wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong with hope. But someone who is truly fulfilled and grateful for their existence has no need for hope. No matter what arrives at their doorstep, they can see the beauty in it. Only those who are unfulfilled have to hope. Of course, being fulfilled is no easy step. After all, it would be hard to accept something like terminal cancer as just a fact of life, with no Heaven after for comfort. But one must see the overall picture, the idea of a truly vast universe with an unbelievable amount of life. Those consciousnesses must be filled. Filled with you.

And although reincarnation is not provable, life is regenerating all around us. It may not be hardcore evidence, but one could see it as a sign. The infinite amount of animals, bugs, and plants show that life is constantly going and returning. Nothing is permanent, yet nothing is truly impermanent. Energy - whatever it truly is - will always find a new place to lie, if even for the brief moment that is life.

Faith in itself isn't bad. We must have faith in things. Like ourselves, our friends... our faucets to pour or our cars to work. But false faith, that is faith in things which have no proof whatsoever, is wasted time... wasted faith.

There was an eclipse recently in Asia. In India, the superstitious were performing all sorts of rituals to ward off the evils they thought that eclipse would bring. Take the frame back a second and you'll see that such rituals are wasted energy, wasted faith. A bunch of people waving sticks in the air and shouting things while wearing bright, colorful paint will not ward off "evil energy" from an eclipse. Just as praying to a God will not save a loved one, and eating a piece of bread that's supposed to represent Jesus' flesh doesn't mean anything. In the end you are only dancing around and shouting, talking to yourself, and... eating a piece of bread. Or, in other words, experiencing life... So why not just experience life without all the strings attached, without all the incentives and wasted energy.

This is one major problem with the organized religious of today. They hear what they want and filter out whatever it is that disagrees with what they think. When someone prays for a loved one and they get better, they automatically thank God and assume that he must have had some part in it. When they pray for a loved one and that person dies, they say something like "it was his time" or "God wanted him." That is insane. It doesn't make any sense. And it is truly and clearly picking and choosing for the comfort of one's own mind. It is selfish. If a loved one survives something like say, an accident, it was not God who saved them. It was their own effort to live on and the chance of nature. It was random. It was spontaneous. It was not destined. It was not written. By the same token, if 35 people die in a tornado, God didn't "have better plans for them." They died because those things happen. Because the tornado had to hit someone's house. The tornado was not on any set path, it was simply going on a natural course in a natural world.

And in that natural world, humans reign supreme, yes?

Yes and no. Human beings are at the top of the food chain. There is no denying that. Our evolution has far surpassed that of other animals. We have created cities, made art, and proposed all sorts of scientific theories. That doesn't come easy. We do reign supreme, but it is was not set by anything divine.

The fact you are in a human body is most likely chance. I say most likely, because as one who is at the top of the food chain, one who has the unique ability to think and reason, it is impossible to say without a shadow of a doubt that any other animal exists by free will as we do. The fact remains that most of the world's creatures are on an entirely different plane than humans. That isn't to say a lower plane, but most definitely a different one. Animals live by instinct, a natural sort of urge to grow, survive, and eventually reproduce. Humans, as animals, do too. But the ability to think and reason and the presence of a powerful mind gives us an entirely different playing field. It makes us stronger in ways and weaker in others.

We have risen to great heights because of our minds, but we have also created a mind-world where superstitions, conspiracies, false beliefs and all out paranoid madness persist. Our mind has given us a lot as humans, but it has taken a lot of life away from us, too.

Babies have simpler minds and because of that they live more for the now. Animals have simpler minds, and they too, live for the now. Adults, however, get lost in the world our collective mind has created, and thus, a vicious cycle has started, where generation by generation we get more and more lost in an illusion of the right and wrong ways to live life.

Humans have the capability to be the best creature on earth, but also the potential to be the worst. Like we respect ourselves, we must respect others, human or not. Reincarnation most likely does exist. If you are living one life and are surrounded by an infinite amount of other life, it can be assumed (though it is not provable) that life does continue. After all, you're a part of it now and you know it continues after you leave this body. So why believe you won't tag along for the ride?

The form you take may be unknown, but that doesn't mean you won't be taking one. What exactly reincarnation means, or if it is influenced by say, karma, is too unknown. As of now there seems to be two options in relation to animal life: 1. animals are controlled by some sort of natural force and have no real, complete, controllable consciousness. And 2. they are just like you and I, but with less developed brains, more instinct, and more life. Either way, the chances are you have experienced and will experience a vast array of lives in a vast array of inconceivable or predictable bodies. Just think about how truly unique this life is. From polka music to calamari - this world is strange/great/unique.

And in this world live many plants and creatures. Whether or not plants can sense is a true mystery. I'm inclined to say no (although no one knows for sure). There most likely just a part of our vast, singular, Earth, which is living, breathing, and providing day and night continuously. But it is safe to say by most accounts that the animals that live on that Earth are just as aware as you and I, and that they are just as much alive. We must not forget that in the end we are part of the animal kingdom. We share more similarities with animals than differences. They live among us and experience the world, but from a different perspective. They are not here for us, but with us. Just as the Earth is not here to serve us, but to help us along on the journey of life.

the currents of the universe

"It is the dim haze of mystery that adds enchantment to pursuit."

-Antoine Rivarol

"Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature."

-St. Augustine

It has long been known by shamans and seekers that the first step in giving up the illusion of life is forfeiting the ego. The ego, roughly defined, is who you believe yourself to be. From your name to your race, your ego is what society has built as the reflection of you. And you, being the impressionable human that you are, accepted that tried and true. The gravestones of millions display the names of egos now departed. But where have those egos gone? Are they in a "heaven" dancing gleefully with friends and relatives long passed also? A place of eternal joy and perpetual ecstasy? Where the best food waits atop gold tables and grapes grow from passing clouds? Where death is known no more and a bright light shines through and over everything? No. They are not. They are six feet in the Earth, most likely rotted to dust by now. Heaven is fiction (as is Hell). There is no debate, because there is no proof. And there is no point in having faith in that which is not. Heaven was created by men out of their own fear of death, that inevitable not being that we will all face sooner or later. A belief in Heaven is an escapist attitude and those days are over.

But do not fear, fellow travelers. Because at heart we are all on a journey. Our own individual journey. But it does not transcend lives, nor does it end in a Heaven or a Hell - or a nothing. The worst and the best, the brightest and the darkest, the most and the least all play out in the vast truth of equilibrium. And as any good traveler will tell you, one journey's end brings another's beginning. We are on the journey of a lifetime, an infinite one. You will not remember this life 100 human years from now, just as you don't remember the moment you were birthed into this world, or your first step onto it. You will not remember because there is no reason to remember. Those that live in the Present are given something more precious, more true, more abundant, than all the pillars of Heaven lined up until the end of that fictional kingdom. When you are aware of the moment and nothing else. When the past fades away as quickly as the future comes into your sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch, you are on a ride with no end and no beginning. Where the admission is free and the speed indeterminable. You are experiencing life in an IMAX theater of reality. And when you are aware of life you are alive, and you are aware of it now, so why fear? Something - some indistinguishable force - has brought you here. It does not judge you. It will not punish you. And it will never be entirely known. But it has brought you here, know that. And seek nothing else.

The animal fear of death has destroyed mankind. It has given rise to a society built on fake spectacles and trivial pursuits. Escapists minds have built an escapist world. Those that believe they live in reality are in for a rude awakening. Reality is something far different - far more real and overwhelming - than most are ready to accept. Reality is energy. Reality is infinity. Reality is complete and utter shifting, falling, unknown, impermanence. It is the fire of the sun. The depth of the universe unknowable. The beating heart that seems to beat for no real reason at all. It is the flesh rotting off the bones of those men dead long ago.

And so we come back to that fact: why believe in something that doesn't exist? Death is very real. We all join the Earth again someday and yet we live our lives forgetting we walk, sleep, and live on it every second of our lives. It yields to us and takes us back in to yield to those after us. The fossil fuels that run our cars today were the animals of yesterday. The plants grow out of former life that now manifests itself in rocks, dirt, and minerals. This planet is in a constant state of mass recycling. Lives are lived and lived again. But not by the same person, or the same thing. Each living thing is unique in that it is the only one of its kind to grace this Earth, at this time, in this stretch of an infinite universe. So we are unique, we are "special," but we are not infinitely us.

Life is life experiencing life. You are alive, you are experiencing that which is, that which makes up the collective thing called life. But you are not you. You belong to Nature. You have control of "you," but every ounce of your being is something else, something completely organic, something you had no part in creating, only manipulating with your mind. You are the body of a species that took millions of years to evolve. One that literally came from the primordial, fundamental core of this Earth. Society has been built out of a single seed. We are all connected, indefinitely, infinitely, indelibly. Solids, liquids, and gases make up our surroundings. But they are not separate. They are atoms, side by side, connected. Separation is a complete and utter illusion. The flame of a candle is connected to the air around it. It may appear to stand alone, but it is not. Just as a human being is not disconnected from his or her surroundings, or a bird from the sky around it. When you feel the wind on your face, you are not just feeling it, you are coming in contact with it, coming in contact with an energy that is always there, in gas form, surrounding you, feeding you oxygen and life.

Nature/reality/existence is literally feeding itself to you so that you can experience it through it. Life is the miracle of being for the sake of being. Because nonbeing simply isn't any fun. There is, however, such a thing as nonbeing. There has to be. The corpses underneath the headstones in a graveyard are experiencing something, and that something is nothing. But they'll never know it. Just as you'll never know it when you die, because you can never know it. You can only experience it, and when you are experiencing it you are alive and incapable of knowing it - only experiencing it. The truth (life in the Present) is unknowable because if you were to know it, it would take the fun away. What's the point in watching a movie if you can see the cameras, and the cords, and the director in the background all the time? Then you would know you were watching a movie - you would know the magic behind it and that would make it pointless. You cannot know the unknowable and even when in that vast nothing called death, one is incapable of knowing, because they can't know in that state. There is nothing to relate it to, no life to make contemplations and surmises, no senses to make sense of it all.

That is to say, there is no soul. The soul is an illusion. The "soul" is a rough term for the non-interconnected lives that we will live infinitely. The lives are connected by infinite energy that is always present, but not connected in any sort of subjective way. You are not all you'll know and you are not all there is, and yet you are, to you, NOW, but not always. You will be something/someone else, but always linked to it in spirit, or energy in a physical reality that goes on and on and on. There is no higher calling. There is no greater good. There is no infinite soul on a determined journey to achieve some sort of greatness. The greatness is already here and you are capable of seeing it. But first you must open your eyes. Open all of your senses. There is some sort of eternal, objective, good, a recognition of reality that manifests itself as "Heaven," but it is not reached by becoming something. It is reached by becoming nothing, becoming merely a reflection of life itself - the all seeing eye in the midst of things. Walk into the forest, but leave only your footsteps. The forest changes, but does not end, as you will change forms, but will never end.

There are no ends. And Heaven as we describe it today is described as an end. Now is the end and now is infinite. You are not infinite, but it is, and you are a part of it, so thus you are infinite. Each journey breeds another journey and thus no end is possible. One thing done entails another trial to overcome. And that means that the life you are living now is all there is - for now. You will live again, but that life will have absolutely no relation to this one. There is no need to even think about that now, because that hasn't happened yet. Energy hasn't taken up that form, you are here now. You emerged into these five senses and these five senses will end eventually. You are powered by your mind and you have the power to escape it, but you cannot escape your body without ending this life. There is no escape from reality. And physical reality is as much a reality as any. There is no soul that can transcend infinity. To live you must be in a form, and that form is body. There is mind. There is body. There is not soul.

Not to sound pessimistic. There is a "soul" to an extent, just not the one we're used to thinking of. The soul is the state you reach when you're in your mind and body, but have completely transcended out of them. When you have reached a state of nirvana, a state of true acceptance and true appreciation... true love of life and all its details and quirks. When you have come to love the unknown and unknowable and take it as it comes. That is what soul is and it is possible to achieve it. It is possible to live the life of a soul in the life of a body with a mind. But first one must accept that they are in a mortal body, that that mortal body will eventually die, and that another mortal body will follow it. That they are not going to Heaven when they die. That Heaven is NOW. There will be more nows, but why worry about them. They are unknowable, because they have not yet happened, so live in today. Don't live in the past. And don't live in the future. Live in the now and it is there you will find eternity. The dead are dead. The not-yet-born are not yet born. Don't live a life stuck in the past or one glued to the future. Only the moment will set you free. The moment/present/now/exact second is the truth. It is what all humans are looking for. It is why everything from roller coasters, to drugs, to this thrill or that exist. To get people in the Present so that they feel truly alive.

And you are truly alive. Your heart is beating and you don't control it. It beats for you and no one else. It beats so that you may experience and so that you may live. It beats for the moon and it beats for the sun and from just outside Earth you can hear the quiet sound of billions of heartbeats. In sync and infinite, recycling time and time again for the sake of the beat. The rhythm of life. Beyond Earth there are many other lives experiencing life, but for now you are you. Know that by you, I do not mean who you think you are, but the collective experiences the body that you currently inhabit calls its own. And you will live again. You will meet new people, see new places, know new things you could never even imagine existed. There is only one New York City in the universe. There is only one thing called pizza in the universe. There was only one President Lincoln and one Mahatma Gandhi in the universe. Earth is a very unique place, cherish it while you can. Experience as much as you can and love it all equally and unconditionally. You may only be here once and although you won't remember it, living in the Present will render that fact void, because living through all your senses in this precise moment ensures eternity, it is now and it is all you know.

One day you'll awake another person/thing/species in another place in space and time. As you awoke into this body so you'll awake into another. You are in a physical reality and that is all there is. You are your five senses as perceived by your brain and nothing else. You are a part of a physical universe that longs to persist. It is no wonder every species is so concerned with procreation. It is the continuation of life that gives us hope and promise, for we know that we are a part of it. Somewhere far off there are individuals within species just meeting that will one day ensure our life in another place, somewhere in this very universe we will be born again. And again and so on, forever. Forever does exist. Individual life has a beginning and an end, but life itself does not. It is energy, and energy changes forms but never disappears. But the goal of life is not procreation, just as it is not reaching Heaven, or scoring a perfect score on an exam, or winning a million dollars, etc. There is no goal to life except to live. To take it as it comes and love every minute of it for better and for worse. To realize that one is not entitled to anything nor should expect anything. Nothing is certain or expected in an unknowable universe. Your heart could stop a minute from now or decades from now. There is no telling.

And there is no need to tell. Or to know. Or to ask. It is the day man begins to ask who-what-when-where-why-how that he digs his own grave. Life is not a game. Life is not an obstacle. Life is not a puzzle. Life is a ride. Life is a free fall. Life is a journey. Life is your five senses and the body that supports them. Life is not a soul that aims for some higher good or understanding. Life is what you look at every time you open your eyes - and close them. Life is the interconnected energy that makes up your surroundings and manifests itself as an environment. These indefinite surroundings are nothing more than an apparent phenomenon. Think of yourself as the organic matter that you are. Walking across a vast solid sphere in the middle of an infinitely vast space. You are not grounded, you are floating. You are floating in an existence that knows no up or down. You are spinning on a planet that knows no end, in a reality that only knows today. You are part of something huge, but are undeniably small. But you are your world and your world is you. There is brilliance in the greatness of things, but also in the detailed genius of a room or a pile of clothes or a drop of water. The vast universe is made up of little lives, just as our gigantic sun is made of simple flames the size of a candle burst. And across the universe infinite heartbeats beat on and with them, life.

True Love

"Love in its ceaseless, endless changing makes life worthwhile."
- Aristotle

True Love is the opposite of what the human mind thinks it is, because true love is not of the mind. We are looking for love in all of the wrong places, in the past and the future, in emotional attachment, comfort and acceptance, in people or things. True Love is not something to be gained or lost, not something that will come as a result of finding someone or something, not something that will be lost as a result of letting go of someone or something. True Love is a love affair with life itself. Life is always in the Present, giving itself to you unconditionally. Life in the Present is all that is, everything real, completely fulfilling in and of itself, waiting for you to let it in. True Love is boundless and limitless, undying, and always new. True Love = Life, all that you sense in the Present. To love truly is to be Present.

There is really only one choice; to be with love/life, or to be with the mind. To be or not to be. This love in the Present can be shared and reflected between beings, or it can be blocked out by the mind and wasted. True love is to be shared, not gained or lost.

Love builds on love. As Kahlil Gibran says in The Prophet: (From Love) "Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love." (From Marriage) "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 others cup but drink not from one cup." True love is being in love with love itself, not with another person or thing.

As The Beatles said: "In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." The more life that you let in through your senses, the more love you have to reflect to others. It is that simple. You have to lay your burden down, lay your mind down, and just surrender to life. The more love you take in, the love more you make, or more accurately, reflect to other beings. You cannot "make" or create True Love, because True Love is not of the mind. You can only be a mirror of love, a mirror of life in the Present, which is your true-self. You cannot reflect love to others unless you open up to life in the present. When you are fulfilled with life, you can't help but reflect it back out to others.

You don't have to give life to your mind, because you are not your mind. You are a mirror of life. Your mind blocks, filters, and interprets life, which prevents you from experiencing life truly and completely. You must be a mirror of life, a surrendered receiver of life. Life in the Present is always new. To experience life fully, to experience True Love, you must let life in and reflect it back out without holding on to anything, without mental intrusions. You must leave no room for the mind to receive the new life that is always coming to you. "Being absent from the body (mind) is being present with the Lord (Life)."

Relationships between men and women, parents and children are the foundation of our society. Over 50% of marriages end in a a divorce these days. Most of the marriages and relationships that last are because of a false sense of security, such as financial security, or attachment, such as emotional dependence or a pleasurable sex life. Of course, some relationships last because of love for the children, and the carnal attraction between man and woman. Carnal love is love for just a part of life, such as love for a women, love for your children, etc. Very few relationships, if any, are founded on truth and love. It is staggering to see the divorce statistics. We must fix our relationships, or we will never be able to live as One and build a heaven on Earth. This starts with realizing what true love is. The foundation for a successful relationship is the truth and the life.

You may have noticed that I speak in generalizations from time to time. Do not let it bother you. It is when we get caught up in the endless details of life that we miss the mark, the truth in the present. We have to look at the big picture, and so sensible generalization is absolutely essential.

Let us look at man/woman relationships:

Men don't realize the true reason they are so attracted to women. It is because women are love/life personified; they are mysterious and beautiful, unpredictable and emotional. "There's something in the way she moves," as the Beatles said. Women balance men out, because they do not feel the need to hide their love away like men do. This is why women often show more emotion than men. Men have been conditioned to hide their love away and control their emotions, or else they will be labeled "soft" and "gay" by other minds. Women bring men into the present with their emotion and presence, while spiritual men set women free from their mind by being stable, not perpetuating the woman's emotions with aggressiveness and stubbornness.

Women give men life at birth, and they give men life after birth with just a smile, a laugh, an eruption of excitement. Women are naturally more in touch with their bodies and life in the Present, so they have an easier time reflecting it right back out. Women give men love that takes them out of their mind and in the present, and spiritual men give women truth which allows women to give love unconditionally. When both the man and the woman live in the truth and the life, they set each other free from the mind, and balance each other out. The unity of Truth and Love is the foundation of a fulfilling relationship, because both the man and the women can be completely present with each other, sharing the love in the present, without their minds blocking it out. The mind complicates relationships, and brings attachment, fear, lust, control, paranoia, and many other negative emotions into a relationship.

Women tend to "blow in the wind" more easily, because women are love, and their natural state is to flow with life. Women give love, and they want to be loved. The problem is, women don't know that they are life personified. When women realize the truth and get in touch with their natural state, they will be free to give love unconditionally, but only to a man who knows the truth. Women really need to be loved, not deceived, not lusted, not obsessed over, not even understood, just loved.

Men naturally live more in the mind. Because of this, men are mostly responsible for creating the world we live in today. Also, men are responsible for creating the minds of women. Women are deceived by men, fooled by the mind. Men built the world we live in today to please women and shape their minds to suit the desires of men. Men have embedded social roles into the minds of women, and this has distracted women from their natural state of giving love unconditionally. Women have been conditioned to believe that their purpose is to please their mate, sexually and mentally, by constantly worrying about their physical appearance and agreeing with whatever the man says. This in turn just strengthens the ego of the man. It is a vicious cycle. Men are under complete control of the mind, and are using it to deceive women instead of giving them truth and reflecting the love right back.

Some excerpts from "Making Love - Sexual Love The Divine Way" by Barry Long:

"Woman must be loved. The future of the human race depends on woman being loved, because only when woman is truly loved can man be truly himself and regain his lost authority. Only then can peace return to earth. Yet woman as she is now cannot be loved for long (or for good) by man as he is now. Together they are trapped in a vicious cycle, and if left to their own ideas of love, there is no way out for them.

By teaching her to please him and satisfy him down through the ages, man has taught woman to desire him, to project herself sexually, to make herself attractive to him. He addicted her to an emotional and physical craving for his sexual attention, and he did this by neglecting to love her."

All relationship problems arise because those involved in the relationship do not know what true love is. Men and women simply do not know how to share the love that radiates from all directions in the present, and this is because men and women are blocking out the love in the present with their minds. As of now, relationships are founded on attachment, which perpetuates the fear of losing the other, losing love. Relationships need to be founded on truth, so that we can give our children truth and love instead of fear and deception. Always remember, love is not gained or lost; love is the opposite of what the mind thinks it is. Love is to be shared in the Present. If we do not base our relationships on a foundation of truth and love, we will continue to mislead our children into deception and fantasy.

Jesus said, "Raise your children in Love and Truth. Cover them with Love and show them the Way of Life through your godly example, so that they will not have cause to depart from it."

BE with LIFE, not the MIND. Let LIFE leave no room for the MIND.
Radiate DIVINE, UNDYING, LIMITLESS LOVE, always in the Present.

Men, seek and spread the truth to transform your mind so that you may receive and reflect the True Love in the Present. Stop using the mind to deceive, to lie. Tell the truth. Do not chase women who will only satisfy your mind and your sexual fantasies. Wait for a woman who truly satisfies your soul beyond physical beauty and mind games.

Women, wake up. Stop giving your attention to fools and phonies who will never be able to truly satisfy your soul. Give your attention to True Love, to life in the Present. Wait for a man who devotes his life to the truth, a spiritual man, one who reflects the love you radiate like a mirror. You will find all the romance and love you could have ever dreamed in your wildest dreams, but it will not be a fantasy, it will be real. Give your love to a man who truly satisfies your soul, your spirit, not a man who satisfies only your mind and your carnal desires.

True love is being in love with life itself.

"Pure Love is a flood which covers all things. Nothing can stand against it, for it flows from the Eternal Sea."

"Love is you,
You and me,
Love is knowing,
We can be."
