The world is a mirror, an imaging of Love's perfection.
Listen my love, illumination is eternal. Now is always evolving. As there are billions of stars, there are billions of steps. As there are billions of souls, there are billions of ways to grow.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
If you yearn for holy felicity, shed your arrogance and Become A Seeker Of Hearts.
Both light and shadow are the dance of Love.
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I've been knocking from the inside.
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you.
To Love is to reach God.
There is no room for hypocrisy. Why use bitter soup for healing when sweet water is everywhere?
The heart is your student, for love is the only way we learn.
Are you searching for the river of your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean.
