If I Told You the Truth

If  I told you the truth about God

You might think I was an idiot.

 

If I lied to you about the

Beautiful

One

 

You might parade me

Through the streets shouting,

“This guy is a

genius.”

 

This world has its pants on backwards,

It carries its values and

knowledge in a jug

with a big hole

in it.

 

Thus, having a clear grasp upon the situation,

If I am asked anything these days,

I just laugh.

If Ocean Waves Could Think Like Humans

If ocean waves could think like humans, would they think themselves separate from all the other waves? Would they think themselves separate from the ocean? 

Would they believe they are going their own way and in control of their lives? Would they try to be the best wave they could be? Or perhaps try to be like the other waves they see?

Would they feel small and humbled at the vastness, power and beauty of the ocean? Would they fear the ocean, or perhaps worship it as a power - or even a god - outside themselves?

Would they never realize it is who they are - until that moment when they merged back into that from which they came?

Could be. I don’t know. What do you think?

With the state of the world as it is, how can I be happy? What good does it do to be happy?

Have you ever noticed that when you are happy, feeling good, the people around you are happier and things seem to go more smoothly?

It's all about vibration and what you want to contribute to the world.

All resistance only creates more of what you don't want. (Law of Attraction)

Do you want to be a creator and affect the world in a good way? Stop resisting. Start being happy. Spread that virus. Be the hundredth monkey.

I saw a bumper sticker recently. It said: "Wag more - bark less." Dogs know this innately unless they've been trained in fear by humans. Being as dogs don't read, this bumper sticker is for us. It says: find some joy inside yourself, spread it around. Smile at strangers, give someone a genuine compliment, be happy.

Most of us are happy when things are going our way. That's easy - and a good place to begin. But what about when things don't appear to be going the way we want? Can we find "happy" in that?

The essential ingredients are trust and presence. Trust that the Universe knows what it's doing, that there's a bigger picture than we are privy to, and being present. Being in the here and now. Stepping out of past and future. That is meditation. That is the medicine. Did you know meditation is the medicine for unhappiness?

Misery comes from being where-we-are-not. Being in an unreal time dimensions (past/future) - and thinking that things should be different than they are. It's a powerless position.

When we are where-we-are-not we are also being who-we-are-not.

One aspect of who-we-are is joy and happiness. It's our nature. Strip away the conditioning, the programming (which is all mind is) and we are left with joy, happiness and presence.

As we live in joy, happiness and presence, through the law of attraction we attract more of that to ourselves, which expands the amount of joy, happiness and presence in the world.
