Entry 227 - I Follow my Heart

4/26/20 So what am I to do? Besides follow my heart even if it leads me away from you? Trust my gut that I’m doing what I’m supposed to do. That to say I don’t know used to be a fear. But now it means I’ve made peace with the unknown. Harmony has re-entered my life. Instead of swimming against the current, I am floating on my back gently down the river. Not focused on the past or the future but on the here and right now. Constantly living on the edge of the unknown, and making the unknown my good friend. No fear, no worry, just complete and total acceptance for what is right now. So my heart sings in tune with the melody of now. The choices I make are no longer in terms of duality but of reality. Not in terms of this is the right choice, this is the wrong choice. But in terms of awareness, of completeness. I now follow what melody makes my heart sing. What enlivens the bones and resurrects my being. My heart is in tune with the melody of Now. The Now is the song of reality. And listeni

Entry 226 - Shoot Your Shot

4/20/20 The difference is I'm not afraid to make fun of myself nor do I care what people think about me, but so many people I talk to are letting both of those stop them from doing what they love. JUST DO WHAT YOU LOVE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE EVERY SINGLE PERSON. JESUS WAS PERFECT AND HE WAS CRUCIFIED. People who do judge you for doing what makes you happy has everything to do with their heart, not yours. Sing your song. Dance your dance. Roll you hips. Paint that pic. Shoot that shot because before you know it you'll be 80 years old struggling to take your next step and be lifting broccoli for weight resistance.

Entry 225 - Quotes from Gospel of Thomas

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you. Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."

Entry 224 - Note from December 2019

4/20/20 I'm finally expressing myself the way I want to, not how my mom wants me to, not how my extended family wants me to, not how my friends want me to, but how I want to. To decide the form I want to take over the forms created by those in the world, is beyond liberation. It's coming to the realization that I am most free when I accept the way in which I wish to be.

Entry 223 - Objective vs Subjective Point of View

4/20/20 In the Bible, it says God is everywhere. He is in all, through all, with all, and there is no where He cannot be. However, many times the writers of the Bible have asked God why He is hiding His face, or not with them, or far away. If God cannot help but be everywhere at all times, how is He also not somewhere? So objectively He is all in all, everywhere, but then subjectively according to these people's experiences, He can feel as if He is far away. Is this a contradiction? No because one is an objective fact and the other is a point of view of that fact. 

Entry 222 - Quotes by Adyashanti that Changed my Life

4/20/20 "Whatever you resist you become. If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering. If you resist confusion,you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them." -- Adyashanti "The biggest embrace of love you'll ever make is to embrace yourself completely. Then you'll realize you've just embraced the whole universe, and everything and everybody in it." -- Adyashanti "The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes." -- Adyashanti "At a certain point we need to grow up; we need to look inside ourselves for our inner guidance. There are things most human beings know; they just don't want to know them. They know deep down that certain things in their lives are working or aren't working, that certain parts of th
