A Tool? Your Ego is a Tool!

It’s not who you are: It’s a tool for exploration of the physical, just as your body is a tool for exploration of the physical.
 
Live your life for Spirit and Spirit alone. You are lost without Spirit. Your physical form and your ego-mind are as lost as every other physical thing and being in the world. That’s why your ego gets in such a panic because it sees the logical outcome to all of this worldliness; logic that is based on the limited physical view of the world. Ego cannot escape that logic because it is born of that logic. Your ego is as frangible as everything else born of the world. It’s not who you are: It’s a tool for exploration of the physical, just as your body is a tool for exploration of the physical.

Of course your ego despairs. Ego's logical conclusion of your world is destruction. The sun goes supernova a billion years from now. Your body ages and dies. The world creates a physical momentum, which left unattended by Spirit, will indeed run out of juice, atrophy, implode upon itself, suffer the demise of entropy and loss. It is the Light of Spirit that activated the whole thing in the first place, and it is the Light of Spirit that fuels the fires, keeps the whole show running.

Spirit is the Big Generator that runs the show. You are an outlet for that Big Generator, and there is an entire field of creation that is plugged into you. They are like your children, your creations, your entire field. Your entire field is plugged into you as their Source — their source of Source — and yes, it’s a lot like the outlets in the wall of your home where you plug in those wonderful appliances of yours. There is a Vast Generator out there that feeds the energy to your world of creation through invisible lines that tie into you, and from there your field of experience is plugged in.

Source is the Big Generator: You decide what gets plugged in. And just as that big generator down the street from your home really doesn’t give a whoop what you plug into your wall outlet, neither does the Source of All. Source is indifferent to what you choose to create, but fully determined that you do it consciously — that you know what you are creating as you create it.

Namaste,

Don't leave your precious self out of One Love

Love Yourself:
Jesus & Buddha said to love yourself. "Love your neighbor as YOURSELF!"
  You can't love your neighbor if you cannot love yourself. &
Buddha said "You yourself, as much as anybody in the universe,

deserves your love and affection."

Love Simply is

                                                                                                          

                                        Unconditional Love

‎                                                                                                                        
Love is not what you sometimes think it is. Love is breath. Love is life. Love surrounds us. It is our water, our air. We breathe in, we fill ourselves with love. We breathe out, we fill all that is around us with love. It is very, very simple. ~Bowhead Whale Communication with Nancy Windheart (Thanks to Nancy, Staci Maria Housum & Whale Communicators)

Self Love Means... when we are in a crisis.... we see it for what it is.... although we may not like it...we embrace it ... then move forward by Believing there is a solution without seeing it ~ ♥ ♥ ♥

Joy vs. Pleasure

Paulo Renato: Pleasure is of the body,thus illusion.
And joy is of the spirit,thus it's our essence.

Thanks Paulo & Katie!

The Work of Byron Katie

The difference between pleasure and joy?

Ohh . . . the distance is from here to the moon!

From here to another galaxy!

Pleasure is an attempt to fill yourself.

 Joy is what you are.

"Joy is the realization of our oneness, our soul's oneness with the supreme love." Rabindrath Tagore

Time is a State of Mind & Eternity Consciousness

Subodh Kumar Misra Time is a state of mind; it is not something that exists outside. We always take time as an objective substance and we mean that something external, real and physical happening, whereas, it is not so. Because the individual mind is connected with the cosmical mind, therefore, the apparent subjection to the process of time seems to be due to the feeling of individual as something of the nature of an effect rather than of the nature of a cause. ............Aum!
Subodh Kumar Misra:
"The purpose of meditation is concentration on the moments of time to have eternity-consciousness,..."

Places that scare you (& me)

for "scariest places", hospital beds are among the scariest for me!

 

(...We are afraid of wrinkles and sagging skin. We use health products as if we actually believe that OUR skin, OUR hair, OUR eyes and teeth, might somehow miraculously escape the truth of impermanence.")

Pema Chodron

‎"We know that all is impermanent; we know that everything wears out. Although we can buy this truth intellectually, emotionally we have a deep-rooted aversion to it. We want permanence; we expect permanence. Our natural tendency is to seek security; we believe we can find it. We experience impermanence at the everyday level as frustration. We use our daily activity as a shield against the fundame...ntal ambiguity of our situation, expending tremendous energy trying to ward off impermanence and death. We don't like it that our bodies change shape. We don't like it that we age. We are afraid of wrinkles and sagging skin. We use health products as if we actually believe that OUR skin, OUR hair, OUR eyes and teeth, might somehow miraculously escape the truth of impermanence."
