How Do You Nourish Your HumanSpirit?

Tell me please, "Why do so many of us...
... crave to watch multimedia of all kinds
... movies - TV - social media - news
... when so many know, that for the most part,
... participating in such activity is too often damaging
... to the HumanSpirit as it alters the vibrational frequency of Love.

Why?

When Communication Begins

For me, it's not the words I say ...
... but the connecting of hearts with others
... is when compassionate and trusted communication begins
... soul to soul
... "me to you ... and you to me".

The Imaginary God-Questions

A few imaginary questions for you to reflect on about YourGod.

Q1: Did YourGod exist on Earth during the 100s of millions of years before humans inhabited Earth?

Q2: Would/could YourGod exist on Earth today without humans?

Q3: Which came first ... "YourGod created Man" or "Man created YourGod"?

Q4: And finally ... could you verbalize ... at least to yourself,
What does the term "YourGod" mean to you?

Different answers to these questions can be found ...
... and with each being right in its own way.

The Practice of Gratitude

For me, the path to Peace, Joy, and Love in my daily life ...
... is when I'm feeling Gratitude in my Heart Center.

And as I genuinely share this practice of Gratitude ...
... with all those that come into my life each day
... I am nourished with purpose.

And then to have others in my life ...
... who are also fulfilled by sharing their Gratitude
... adds to my SilentKnowing
... that all is well ... with purpose.

Balancing 2 Powerful Desires

Which desires lead me in my day-to-day life choices?

The Desires of the Physical ... Service to Self
- the desire to be accepted and admired by other humans
- the desire for nourishing myself with personal pleasures.
or
The Desires of the Spiritual ... Service to Others
- the desire to be accepted and admired by other souls

Imaginary Love

Many, many years ago, was the first time my heart was broken ...
... and I remember how I thought I was going to die.

It was years later I realized ...
... what I thought was complete love
... was only my imagination that made it so
... and this love was never real to anyone
... except in my dreams.

But then how could it be real ...
... when all I believed way back then ...
... was that great physical love
... is what made a relationship work.

I'm glad I grew up.

The Wisdom of Surrender

QUESTION: What is the difference between a Foolish Man ...
... who believes he knows all and desires yet more
... and a Wise Man who knows himself and has acceptance?

ANSWER: The Wisdom of Surrender

When the Wise Man awakened to the Wisdom of Surrender ...
... it did not mean he was giving up anything
... but instead he understood it would unify him
... in Oneness with the Universe.

The choice to surrender became easy ...
... as it would transform him into an awakened and free spirit
... and engaged in life with eyes filled of LovingKindness.

So just what was this "it" that the wise man surrendered ...
... and to who did he surrender this "it" to?

A Practice of Coexistence

A simple practice of coexistence with "the-All" ...
... for me starts with a practice of deep appreciation
... and deep respect for our dear Mother Earth I love
... with its myriads of incredible and amazing creations of all kinds
... creations that somehow keep those who practice, connected in Oneness.

And by living in coexistence with "the-All" ...
... the very wonder and beauty of Life itself thrives
... as it nourishes my heart and soul with all its splendor.

And each day is experienced in the SilentKnowing ...
... of Peace and Joy and Love.

Won't Be No-One ... Anymore

Today, I have learned to accept ...
... that I am simply no-one special.

But I respectfully have this silly request ...
... a request to ask of you Life
... to let me be no-one with someone
... perhaps someone who is no-one too.

So I won't be no-one ... anymore.

Phantom Personas

How could I ever believe in myself ...
... when I never knew exactly who I was?

And if I didn't know exactly who I was ...
... then how could I ever truly love myself?

And if I couldn't love myself ...
... then how could I ever truly love someone else
... and hope that they could love me back ... how?

Yes, it continues being a challenging journey finding me ...
... and perhaps I'm getting closer ... perhaps
... finding the real me under all the many phantom personas
... personas I've lived at one time or another in my life.

And it's been a long and difficult journey at that ...
... prying loose all those persona masks.

And for now those masks are gone ... and here I am today
... as I'm discovering the next who I might become
... an ever evolving someone I do want to believe in
... and someone who I do want to love.

So once again I ask myself ... "Who am I?"
... and now I simply say ... "I am."

Unconditional Love

What is real for me in my life in this very moment ...
... are the emotions of my many past lives
... overflowing from my heart
... and oozing out from every crack and crevice.

Some joyful emotions but too many sad and empty ones ...
... sad and empty ones crying out and wanting to be soothed and healed.

And then there are my other emotions ...
... that simply acknowledge my very presence on earth
... for just being alive.

And what does all this mean to me right now ...
... and how I feel when my heart remembers the anguish of my past souls
... and deeply craves the very essence of Unconditional Love
... a love to nourish both my heart and soul
... and validates my life journey with purpose and meaning.

I welcome you home Unconditional Love.
Stay as long as you like.

Someplace New

When I close my eyes at night ...
... and disappear to unknown places ... to unknown dimensions
... yet to places I feel like I've been to before and sometimes know well
... and sometimes people who I know are there too
... yet they are in a way strangers as well.

And when I awake ... I ask myself ...
... who am I now in this moment?
... and where have I been?

And finally I ask myself ...
... am I back to where I started
... or have I been welcomed someplace new?

All ... when I close my eyes at night.

You Don't Know What You Don't Know ... or Do You?

The precious truths about life I deeply believe in ...
... and all they may offer me
... can be quite comforting to my day to day life.

But those same precious truths have limited me in appreciating ...
... other unknown and yet undiscovered life opportunities.

And when I am ready, to consider this ...
... step out of my personal comfort zone
... and into the unknown.

It is never easy and often causes feelings of fear and anxiety ...
... as I begin to explore and discover new life truths
... and new life realities
... as I cross over into a new dimension of life
... and begin to appreciate a life paradigm of understanding.

Simply put ... Hashem is ...
"PEACE and JOY and LOVE".

Perhaps YourGod means ...
... these very same things to you as well.

A FreeFalling Free-for-All

I find it quite disheartening that there is so much"spinning" of the Truth ...
... both from the politically Right and now the politically Left joining in.

All I can say is I'm tired of all the "untruths" and "twisted-truths" ...
... truths that are allowed to be irresponsibly spewed to the public ...
... it's becoming harder and harder to breath in clean air and the freshness of truth.

It feels like we have become a FreeFalling Free-for-All society ...
... with greed running loose in our government on all levels
... and the last time I checked ... there is still "no parachute" to break our fall.

Perhaps, it's all about counting the money ...
... cause someone owns 3 hotels on Boardwalk ...
... oh, and if by chance ... and when there is time
... it's about taking care of the rest of us.

Searching for Me ...

Most of my life I’ve been searching for Me.
Who I was … what I was … why I was.

So many times I thought I found Me.
But I never did.

At times I felt hopeless … like an endless wanderer of life.
And so I finally stopped searching.

The years passed by … and so did my life.
Then for no reason at all … I heard a knocking at my door.

I open the door and there he was, the person I least expected.
But immediately knew who he was.

I smiled and welcomed him in … along with a comforting SilentKnowing.
You see ... that person was Me.

A Continuum of Disconnected Thoughts

I want to build something Incredible ...

People need something to believe in ...

... and they "feel safe" (not necessarily are safe)
... in how they understand and interpret the reality of their world.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And based on the history of the spaceship we are passengers on ...
... a spaceship that was anointed 1000s of years ago as ... "Planet Earth"
... what has changed ... certainly not the reality we live in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is most definitely the intelligent beings living here,
... that determine the energy frequencies of Planet Earth,
... and importantly I ask, is the spectrum of this intelligence, large or small?

To me, intelligence has the 3 basic Energy Dimensions ...

My Thoughts About Aging

When I found myself passing through to a new dimension of life ...
... I became appreciative in ways I never imagined
... appreciative for all I'd experienced on my many life journeys
... and importantly, appreciative of both the good and the difficult times as well.

And over the course of my life ...
... I moved from a dimension of "learning" ...
... then to a dimension of "living" what I'd learned
... and finally to a dimension of "becoming" what I'd lived.

And it is this dimension of "becoming" when a new meaning to my life was revealed.

I realized the concept of always "learning-something-new" will live forever
... and asked myself the question, "When would enough learning ... be enough?"

It was when I took a step back to answer this question ...
... and acknowledged and trusted my own SilentKnowing.

I clearly understood that "when" ... would simply be "when".

At that very moment, I knew that Peace, and Joy and Love ...
... would always be mine the rest of my days.

A SilentKnowing Revealed

I heard many times over the years, this simple para-phrased thought ...

"Don't judge another until you have walked in their shoes."

Interesting that today I understood what these words meant to me throughout my life ...

... an understanding that included a fresh dimension of LovingKindness ...
... and was revealed to me as SilentKnowing.

A Nourishing Practice

Dear Friend ... I was just wondering how many of us can say ...

"MyGod is with me ...
... when I awake

And for some, there is a nourishing practice ...
... a practice of sharing with TheirGod
... an appreciation for their unique connection
... as this connection soothes the HeartCenter with SilentKnowing.

... it tunes their energy frequencies of

And most importantly and integral ...
