Exploring Life

7/25/20 Love is intelligence, while hatred is stupidity. Love is sanity because it speaks forth our true innocent nature as Sons of God, and hatred is insanity because the person believes the illusion of division is real when it’s not. Love is order and hatred is disorder. Love is unity, hatred is division. Love is invulnerable to illusions, hatred relies on illusions. Love is equal, hatred is unequal. Love is we are all brothers and sisters. Hatred is I am better than you.  Love is true peace, hatred is chaotic destruction. Love heals, hatred opens wounds. Love inspires, hatred conspires. Love mends together, hatred separates. Love is oneness, hatred is duality. Love says I am the answer to every source of every problem, hatred says I will answer pain by giving pain because I have a right to. Love releases karma through forgiveness, hatred creates more karma through grudges. Love is the way we find our true nature, hatred is the way we get lost in false nature. True love has no condit

7/22/20 Transformation is linked to transcending your patterns of locality to non-locality.  Instead of being caged into a limited view, you transcend your views, patterns, beliefs, and transform your inner reality to match a new outer reality of non-locality. Otherwise, you live and die by the patterns you developed through your conditioning rather than becoming aware and reconditioning yourself transcending the pattern you once followed for a majority of your life, thus paving a new pattern etched into life’s records of all.  Awareness is the art of transforming your awareness from locality to non-locality, subjectivity to objectivity. It’s the art of dying to one’s limited self and becoming the Self.  The goal is to return to the Source, the Creator of the universe, and the way we do that is becoming like God. Going from local to non-local. 

7/22/20 In the past, I felt left down because I loved people, but I felt like they didn’t love me back. But it’s not their job to love me back. It’s not their expectation to give me that love. I should already have that abundance within me, so whether I receive it or not I’m fine, and I can still love them regardless.

7/22/20 ACIM T-1.I.24. Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both. 2 You are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of your Creator. 3 Everything else is your own nightmare, and does not exist. 4 Only the creations of light are real. T-1.I.26. Miracles represent freedom from fear. 2 "Atoning" means "undoing." 3 The undoing of fear is an essential part of the Atonement value of miracles. T-1.I.29. Miracles praise God through you. 2 They praise Him by honoring His creations, affirming their perfection. 3 They heal because they deny body-identification and affirm spirit-identification. T-1.I.30. By recognizing spirit, miracles adjust the levels of perception and show them in proper alignment. 2 This places spirit at the center, where it can communicate directly. T-1.I.31. Miracles should inspire gratitude, not awe. 2 You should thank God for what you r

7/22/20 I have no fear in anything or even in fear itself because fear is an illusion I refuse to create.  I want to take part of revealing the illusion of fear not partaking in its false reality. 

7/22/20 A lot of times judgmental thoughts aren’t something we consciously conjure. They could be unconscious egoic mind patterns that are recycled hopefully for future use so that the observer unconsciously accepts that kind pattern to be their own. However, with enough awareness, one can catch these unnecessary egoic mind patterns and let them pass by. Not refusing them nor accepting them, but letting them pass right through. As they go in, they come right out. There’s not sticking. There’s no identifying. There’s simply a movement of train of thought that goes in and comes right back out. The secret is non-attachment and recognizing those thoughts don’t belong to you, but belong to the ego. Those thoughts are just as false and unreal as the very ego itself.

7/22/20 7/22/20  I think what Osho is trying to do is to put less emphasis on labels and symbols and more emphasis on the reality labels try to convey. It’s a given we are in relationship to EVERYTHING and EVERYONE around us because we are all IN God and God is IN all of us, but the reality is deeper than the word “relationship” used to convey a deeper reality. The word relationship can only do us so much justice to the ultimate reality that cannot be fully comprehended by a word pointing to a reality. For example, that word can often convey a relationship between someone outside of us and might accidentally cause us to view ourselves as “outside” or separate from God when that’s definitely not the case.  What does it even mean to say I have a relationship with myself? That would be strange because we don’t normally use that word in such a way, so the point is there are natural limitations each word has based off of the definition and context it’s normally used within that lang

7/21/20 Some people love to get something out of others.  And others love simply to love.  Not because they want something from you, but because the very act of loving you is a gift in itself. 

7/14/20 As a storyteller, tone is extremely important because I use it often within my stories to make people laugh. I know there are certain tones I use that will be better than others in order to get more people to laugh. I also know coherency, annunciation, and body language are also all incredibly important to paint a memory that they can quite literally hop into and imagine themselves as if they are currently there. Similarly, when we have conversations, we can convey our message in many different ways and how they take it can be influenced by their perspective, but we can also influence perspective by how we speak. If you want to come off as a threat, you can utilize tone to do so just like you can utilize body movements and the volume of your speech as well. Similarly, if you want to convey love to someone, you can also utilize tone and so forth to do so. If we speak robotically to someone, we might get our message across but what would that convey? We might say tone is

7/12/20 Sin is oftentimes unconsciously identified with failure within certain religions when they accept a dualistic perspective as base reality. By believing “This was right and that was wrong” we can unconsciously fall into the error of assuming what is wrong was sinful rather than it being constructive for our growth. I believe it’s vital to know that not every failure is a sin, and not every sin is a failure. Thinking all failure equates to sin is highly toxic because instead of encouraging people to fail knowing it’s part of success, people are afraid to fail because they associate failure with sin. Having the mindset that success is better than failure, rather than seeing both as a natural part of our journey, makes people afraid of failure instead of embracing the lessons we learn from it when it comes. People who never try, who never go out, who never explore, who never experience, but choose to stay in their small, little, safe bubble are those who are not learni

7/11/20 Sin is oftentimes unconsciously identified with failure within Christianity. That is highly toxic because instead of encouraging people to fail knowing it’s part of success, people are afraid to fail because they associate failure with sin. A dualistic perspective dipped in fear oftentimes fosters the belief that sin is failure rather than as a mistake. This can be toxic because it can fuel the belief that one is better than the other, which makes people afraid of failure instead of embracing the lessons we learn from it when it comes. A unity perspective celebrates both failure and success because they both brought the person to their current evolution. The unity perspective only sees not trying as true inherent failure because it stops the natural eb and flow of evolution which is our purpose in life.  People who never try, go out, explore, experience, but choose to stay in their small little safe bubble are those who are not learning from their failures

7/11/20 Love the sinner hate the sin is toxic and here’s why: Hating hatred, for example, only creates more hatred in your own life. It’s ironic that the thing you hate becomes the hatred stored within you. Hating only creates more negativity in your own life. What you send out to the world, is exactly what you receive. If you send out hatred, be prepared to receive hatred. If you send out judgment, be prepared to receive judgment.  What happens when you square 2? It becomes four. What happens when you multiply darkness? It stays dark. What happens when you multiply hatred? Hatred remains.  Just like adding more darkness to darkness only keeps it dark, hating sin keeps sin, sin.  However, lighting up a flame where there is darkness, transforms the dark area into light. Similarly, love transforms the hearts of all those impacted by it.  The absence of light is darkness. The absence of love is hatred. In order to transform, you must change.  Love dissolves an
