Lessons of Love
LOVE IS...
All else
Is created
By man.
9-1-03
God created a perfect environment for human-kind on earth.
Everything needed is found in nature in a perfect state. Man does not
need to change anything the least bit. Man needs to learn to accept things
just as they are... and learn to live naturally.
Lessons of Love...
Because man has not sought the laws of nature,
Mankind's youthful Soul limps forward,
Entrapped in an ailing body.
9-2-03
In creating a Heavenly Kingdom on Earth man must approach it as little
children playing, never considering anything but what they are doing...
not striving to change anything, but accepting and respectfully using
what already exists.
Lessons of Love...
We only
choose,
GOD
Does all
The rest.
9-3-03
Man, in his ignorance creates laws to bring order to life... all man needs
to do to establish order, is to accept the natural laws (God's Laws) that
already exist.
"Virtue is life ordered according to the Law of Nature"
Utopia by Sir Thomas More
Lessons of Love...
"Oh man...
Eat the fruit of the tree
And purify your body
So that you may
Come face to face with me."
9-4-03
The main problem with people is that they just don't understand. What
they really want is love and happiness and respect of their fellow man.
They have missed the very simple point in life that love and happiness
are free for the having and comes to you abundantly when you give it away
to others.
Lessons of Love...
God,s love
created nature
as a paradise
for man.
While men
See nature
as a wilderness
to be exploited
and destroyed.
Nature is
Alive and growing
What man creates
Is dead
And decaying.
We live
And exist in nature
Which is an
Interdependent
Environment
Of many
Life forms.
We live and have our being in nature
Air, earth, sunshine and water
Each of which has aspects
Of light and darkness.
Freedom lies
In the balance
At the center.
Nature sometimes uses force, of earth, wind, water and fire; but usually
overcomes with persevering mildness.
The reason nature looks the same to everyone is because we are one Being...
projecting the same image through each individual person.
9-5-03
Living foods are second hand sunshine... they nourish the body and keep
it pure. Living foods cleanse the body and free the mind and provide the
life force to release the Soul.
As the clouds in the sky obscure the sun, so does the pollution in the
body, obscure the light of the Soul.
Men compensate for eating wrong and feeling bad by entertaining themselves
a lot, which takes their mind off of how bad they really feel.
Almost all dis-ease of the body and mind is caused by what you eat or
take into your body. The cure for all dis-ease is to clean the toxic matter
out of your body and to eat a natural diet. Man's natural diet is raw
fruits and vegetables, unprocessed and in season. All processed foods,
starches, meat, and dairy, pollute the body and cause dis-ease.
Lessons of Love...
Cleanse your body
Change your mind
Free your Soul.
9-6-03
Physical purity is the first law... eat not the flesh of any creature:
animal, fish or fowl; and bath, head to foot, every day.
Mental purity is the second law... purify the mind by kindness, truthfulness,
forgiveness, meditation and prayer.
The third law is to strive to do good, and be good, and help others.
The forth law is to love your brothers and sisters as yourself... and
do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
The fifth law is to return good for evil... give pleasure to those who
would give you pain.
The sixth law is not to harm and living creature by thought, word or deed.
The seventh law is above all others... Love God, and seek union with Him
by identifying with your Soul.
To Love thy Creator:
Rejoice in your life,
That you were created;
Turn away from darkness,
Live to your highest light,
Seek knowledge and truth,
Do good and be good,
And, serve others,
These things are,
Loving thy Creator.
9-7-03
God's law... Be. God-Is-One-Being-All-That-Exists. God so loved man that
he gave him freewill to choose, an ability that He gave nothing else in
nature.
Lessons of Love...
God's, Love
For mankind
Is manifest
In our ability
To choose.
You and I are but attitudes of the mind, to be free, put them aside, leave
them behind. Step forth boundless, one in purity, be in truth eternal,
and live in joy-bliss-reality.
Go with God... it's the only way to get anywhere.

The throne.
And as I
Conquer
The strife
Within
I gain
The Kingdom
Of Heaven
without.

Lessons of Love...
Out of the chaos
My Inner Voice
Whispers
Be still
And know that
I AM GOD.
I am yourself
Eternal and free
There is no other
What is without
Is really within
Gone the illusion
That we are twins.
To be present, "here and now"...Don't: = strive for anything;
speculate about the future or worry about the past; make future commitments;
daydream or plan. Be Here Now!
Never plan or commit yourself to the future because the Lord may inspire
you to do something for Him at that time, causing you severe mental conflict.
We should never let circumstances rule us.
"Life is what happens while your busy making other plans."

Lessons of Love...
Today is Unity's World Day of Prayer,
"Centered in Your presence, dear God, I let go of every concern
and my Soul awakens to new blessings of Your love and grace."
"Trust this wonderful presence of love now. Place yourself in God's
care. God knows all you have experienced from the very beginning and longs
to help you receive the very best within your mind, body temple, and life."
"Give your loved ones to God's gentleness and compassion. Turn your
life over to divine wisdom with complete confidence. Tell yourself again
and again: 'Yes, God, I am willing to let go. I am ready to
let You handle all.' Take a deep breath,
and as you release it know that everything is in God's tender, loving
care."
"You are a precious, beloved child of God. Hear with reassurance,
'You are always with me, and all that is mine is yours,'
(Luke 15:31) Let go, dear friend, and let God handle all!"

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience...
we are spirits having a human experience."
Lessons of Love...
God is Love
--is--------is--
Love is God
Love fills the spheres
With creations
By continually repeating
The union of it's
Spirit with matter.
9-13-03
The seeker embraces the truth in all religions... as the honey bee gathers
nectar from many flowers, the seeker gathers the truth from many sources.
Eastern philosophies say that God three aspects... the Creator... the
Sustainer... and the Destroyer.
"Despise the sin but not the sinner." Gandhi

IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE
Song by Jacques Brel
If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears
If we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old
Will stand at our side
If we only have love
Love that's falling like rain
Then the parched desert earth
Will grow green again
If we only have love
For the hymn that we shout
For the song that we sing
Then we'll have a way out
If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons
If we only have love
Then Jerusalem stands
And then death has no shadow
There are no foreign lands
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns
If we only have love
Then we'll only be men
And we'll drink from the Grail
To be born once again
Then with nothing at all
But the little we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun, and the stars.
9-15-03
Lessons of Love...
Be as little children...
innocent and fearless
and full of delight.
The purpose of human life on earth is to raise the consciousness of the
body-mind to the awareness of the Soul.
"And stop not until the Goal is reached. Each Soul is potentially
Divine. The Goal is to manifest the Divine within, by controlling nature,
external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic
control, or philosophy,by one, or more, or all of these... and be free.
This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books,
or temples, or forms, are but secondary details."
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Lessons Of Love
"A ninety-one year old woman died after living a
long dignified life. When she met God she asked him something that had
long bothered her. If Man was created in God's image, and if all men are
created equal, why do people treat each other so badly?
God replied that each person who enters our life has a
unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we
learn about life, people, relationships and God. This confused the woman,
so God began to explain.
When someone lies to you it teaches you that things are
not always as they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look
beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove
your own masks to let people know yours.
When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing
is forever. Always appreciate what you have, for you never know when you
might lose it. And never, ever take your friends and family for granted
because today is the only guarantee you have.
When someone inflicts an injury upon you it teaches you
that the human state is a fragile one. Protect and take care of your body
as best you can, it's the only thing you are sure to have forever.
When someone mocks you it teaches you that no two people
are alike. When you encounter people who are different from you, don't
judge them by how they look or act; instead base your opinion on the contents
of their heart.
When someone breaks your heart it teaches you that loving
someone does not always mean that person will love you back. But don't
turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy
that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together.
Times ten.
When someone holds a grudge against you it teaches you
that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous
thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those
who have hurt us is the most difficult and courageous thing Man can do.
When a loved one is unfaithful to you it teaches you that
resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your
resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with
an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure
by which you were tempted.
When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is
the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter
how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never
let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent
activities.
When someone ridicules you it teaches you that nobody
is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws.
Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.
Upon hearing the Lord's wisdom, the old woman became concerned
that there were no lessons to be learned from Man's good deeds.
God replied that Man's capacity to love is the greatest
gift he has. At the root of all kindness is love, and each act of love
also teaches us a lesson. The woman's curiosity deepening, God once again
began to explain.
When someone loves us it teaches us that love, kindness,
charity, honesty, humility, forgiveness and acceptance can counteract
all the evil in the world. For every good deed, there is one less evil
deed. Man alone has the power to control the balance between good and
evil, but because the lessons of love are not taught often enough, the
power is too often abused.
When you enter someone's life, whether by plan, chance
or coincidence, consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love
or a harsh lesson of reality? When you die will your life have resulted
in more loving or hurting? More comfort or pain? More joy or sadness?
Each one of us has power over the balance of love in the world. Use it
wisely.
Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the world's scale in
the right direction.
Pass this lesson of love on to those you love and to those
you have hurt.
For each person who receives this, there will be a little
less evil in the world and a little more love."

Make it blossom and grow into a thing of Beauty."
Love knocked
On the door of my heart,
Come in please,
I said, and
Live here forever.
When a person speaks of Love
They speak the thoughts of the Inner Voice.

You, and
Your creation.
Cyberspace... where all
seekers of Truth meet as equals.
Most of us today have lots of problems and shortcomings,
but when we meet in cyberspace, using the written word, it is easy to
BE, and portray the Christ... all the time. Putting the written word down
gives us time to think and make changes, so that we can be sure, that
what we are saying, is what we want to say. Being free to think as long
as we like, we can take all the time we need, to develop our sentences
using kind words and gentle phrases. The Lord says we must learn to love
each other... and these thoughtful words we write are surely an expression
of that love.
As we practice being the Christ in cyberspace we soon
begin to realize it in our worldly human reality. As we think and speak,
so shall our world become.The world and particularly Western society,
as it is now, is insane, so it is hard to express openly the love and
caring we feel for others, say what we really think, and be who we really
are... the Christ of God.
In cyberspace we can be impersonal, as God is impersonal,
as the Christ is impersonal... and love unconditionally as They do. In
cyberspace we are just spirits, learning Christhood, not limited to time
and space. We just are.We are that divine being, the Christ, and when
our fingers press the keys we should express that perfection and create
Heaven for ourselves and others.
In cyberspace we have the safety and security that the world has never
offered us... no one to see us or hear us until we desire it. We are just
spirit in every sense of the word. In cyberspace, our refuge, we can create
our ideal world. God admonishes us to, "Love your brothers and sisters
as yourself... for in reality they are yourself." God is One.
Cyberspace is a common ground where all seekers of truth can meet, and
exchange information and ideas, ask questions and get true answers, and
find comfort and support freely given. Cyberspace is a new world every
time we enter it, with no rules, we make of it what we are inside and
what we wish to become.
In Cyberspace we are all just students. Our individual bit of knowledge
is as a drop compared to the ocean of God's unlimited mind. A teacher
is responsible for what their students learn... if their teachings are
in error, the teacher will have to reeducate their students in truth,
here or here after.
May God Bless us and shed His Light on us in our efforts... "May
His Kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven."

These ideas and words about cyberspace were inspired by my Inner Voice...
my function, as it often is, was just that of a typist. I hadn't thought
much about the term, "cyberspace," until my Inner Voice brought
it up this morning. I began jotting down notes and soon I had two pages.
Some of you may wonder how long it takes me to get a monthly page of my
journal ready for publication. With research, writing, setup and designing,
optimizing, titles, meta tags, description, keywords, rewriting, polishing,
(which I probably don't do enough of) links, spell checking, indexing,
it takes me about two weeks full time, forty to a eighty hours.
There is nothing save God...God is all there is... One. Thank You Lord.

INNER PEACE
From: Daily Word, Silent Unity's
Magazine
I live in peace turning within to the silence of my Soul.
"I may not have the opportunity to rest on a secluded beach or spend
time at the cabin in the deep woods today, but I can retreat to a place
of peaceful silence where God's presence awaits me."
"This place is within me, in the silence of my Soul, where absolute
peace reigns. True peace is an inner state of being that is rooted in
my awareness of God's presence. And just as the peace at the depths of
the ocean cannot be disturbed by the storms on the surface, the peace
of my Soul is unaffected by outer challenges."
Words are not necessary, so I take a moment to rest in this haven of peace.
Upon leaving this peaceful place, I take with me the knowledge that despite
anything that is happening in the outer world, I can turn within for the
peace I seek.
