"I have learned that there is no religious revelation more satisfying than the hard won fruits of simple understanding. And there is no liberation to compare with freeing oneself from the illusions and delusions of the age in which one lives."

We are here on earth to do good for others. What the others are here for, I don't know.

Re: Daily Wisdom Saying

Love is here like the blood in my veins and skin
He has annihilated me and filled me only with Him
His fire has penetrated all the atoms of my body
Of “me” only my name remains; the rest is Him.

- Rumi.

Re: Daily Wisdom Saying

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Re: Daily Wisdom Saying

"I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn't create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people."

~Ram Dass

Re: Daily Wisdom Saying

"We are a collective consciousness, expressing ourselves, our dreams and our fears. Together we have the opportunity to step into a new world of our choosing. In a process akin to cell division, our energy spectrum is polarizing at a great extent. The season of change is now upon us, what frequency will our being attune to? It is time to dream and hold vision like we have never done so before. It is the time to rise above our fears and conquer our demons through unconditional love and compassion. Embrace the guiding light of our soul and find our love source. Then we can do nothing but unleash it upon the world. Express our love.. By attuning to love we unify and polarize into the higher density frequencies of great love. Yes love is the lesson we have been asked to learn, and its graduation time now.. Wisdom will follow in the new world, where we will find teachers and understanding through experience in absolute abundance. The old world will die to us, and we as one will die to the old world. This is the sacrifice, the letting go of what was and embracing what IS. All efforts are being made now to ensnare us into conflict, hate, guilt and fear. To tune us into to the other world, a world of nightmares, limitation and spiritual slavery. The poison arrows are aiming right at our blinding hearts, our most precious treasure, a treasure that is to be guarded, and that guardian is the mind of our higher consciousness. The pure sword of Michael and the shield of KNOWING. Believe in who you are, and know that you are not alone. For we are with you! We are the Ashim, the Cherubim, the Beni Elohim, the Elohim, the Melekim, the Seraphim, the Chashmalim, the Aralim, the Auphanim, the Chayoth ha Qadesh, and together we are as one with you, together the unstoppable creative spirit of All that Is! So Co-Creator, I salute and honor you as both a brother, as a sister. A whole being, expression of self. Welcome to your new world."

Re: Daily Wisdom Saying

The Prophecy of the Hopi Elders


Here is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift,
that there are those who will be afraid,
who will try to hold on to the shore,
they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.
Know that the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
and keep our heads above water.
And I say see who is there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history we are to take nothing personally,
least of all ourselves, for the moment we do,
our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves.
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
For we are the ones we have been waiting for.
