What Is Important

"What is important is to realize that weather we understand fully who we are or what will happen when we die. It is our purpose to continue to grow as human beings to look with in our self to find and build upon that source of peace, understanding and strength Which is our inner self and then to reach out to others with love, acceptance, patient guidance and hope for what we may become together."
~ Elisabeth Kubler/Ross "Death the final frontier"

Wisdom

“I never met any body I couldn’t learn something from, we are all smart and we are all dumb, just in different areas” ~ Will Rogers

The Hardest Work

“The hardest work you have to do is to learn to depend on your inner self. Because you have been taught to look always to some one else.” ~ Venice Bloodworth

Unconditional Love

“Unconditional love Is Gods Love, and we may be able to share it if we learn not to Judge, for until we do we will be disappointed, on how it is received, our expectations will rob us of the joy, that is inherent in it. In India they have a saying about the rain “The rain grows the flowers in the garden and the thorns in the marshes.” You see rain dose not discriminate who it waters, it doesn’t with hold from the marshes because of its thorns, so we can be like the rain giving freely of our love with out discrimination, and see the Joy we will witness in doing.” ~ Father Anthony Demello

Principle

"We have tested the many ways we can live with one another without our basic need to be loving and supportive. We have repressed this need for love and support, avoided it, distorted it, and manipulated it. It is now time to return to it, acknowledge it, surrender to it, and enjoy it. We are exhausted by our attempts to run away from it any longer. We are literally calling to each other in the only ways we know, beseeching one another to return to our basic natures. Principle tells us that every unloving act is a call for love and support. This is particularly true of acts that appear to be angry and attacking. It is the key to our return to a life of peace and harmony. We must recognize that apparent anger and aggressiveness is grounded in frustration- based on a long period of forgetting who we are and what we truly wish from one another. It is time for us to hear one another's call and respond. All we need to do is to respond in love, and the caller will acknowledge in appreciation. There is no limit to the ways we can support each other. A relationship based upon principle is one in which we align ourselves with the Universe and, in partnership with it, explore the many ways we can express our love and support for each other." ~ Arnold M. Patent in his Book "Death Taxes and Other Illusions"

Understanding

“Understanding comes with the awareness of what is. There can be no understanding if there is condemnation of or identification with what is. If you condemn a child or identify yourself with him, then you cease to understand him. So being aware of a thought or a feeling as it arises, without condemning it or identifying with it, you will find that it unfolds ever more widely and deeply, and thereby discover the whole content of what is. To understand the process of what is, there must be choiceless awareness, a freedom from condemnation, justification, and identification. When you are vitally interested in fully understanding something, you give your mind and heart, withholding nothing. But unfortunately you are conditioned, educated, disciplined through religious and social environment to condemn or to identify, and not to understand. To condemn is stupid and easy, but to understand is arduous, requiring pliability and intelligence. Condemnation, as identification, is a form of self-protection. Condemnation or identification is a barrier to understanding. To understand the confusion, the misery in which one is, and so of the world, you must observe its total process. To be aware and pursue all its implications requires patience, to follow swiftly, and to be still.”
~ J. Krishnamu

Locked In

Igmard Gustafson’s locked in
All of my life I spent in a Coconut it was cramped and dark especially in the morning when I had to shave. But what pained me most was that I had no way to get in touch with the outside world. If no one out there happened to find the coconut and was nice enough to crack it open then I was doomed to live my life in a coconut and even die in a coconut I died in my coconut a couple of years later they found me shrunk and crumpled inside Oh what a shame they said only if we could have found him earlier maybe we could have saved him. maybe there are more like him so they started cracking open every coconut in reach No use , Meaningless A waste of time , A person who choose to live in a coconut must be a nut in a million but they didn't know that I have a Brother in law who lives in a acorn
