ocean glasses water
God is like the ocean and we're like that glass of water. We try to sustain life and do all that the source tells us that we are capable of doing, but if we do it alone, we wither away and collapse instead.
thinking oneness differences
There's a big difference between oneness and sameness. Oneness implies that we're all connected and that we all come from the same source. Sameness implies that we all have to do things and exactly think the same way as everybody else does.
thinking errors people
Most people think that God wants us to demonstrate our love for God by having churches and by having symbols - and I think that's a huge error.
thinking way god-love
I think the way we show love for God is by loving each other, by extending the love that we are.
thinking practice important
The purpose of life is to be happy. I don't think it's any more complicated than that. It's also important not to interfere with anybody else's right to do the same. We just need to practice that. It's the Golden Rule.
moments
The moment is all there is now. All there is is now. That's what God is, too. God is only now.
past guilt moments
Even if you are loaded down with guilt about everything you did in the past, you still are experiencing the guilt in the moment.
trying facts moments
Enjoy the moment, because that is all you have. You never are going to arrive someplace else. You are in a constant state of living in this moment, and that is the only arrival there is. In fact, you will arrive when you stop trying to get someplace else.
believe i-believe shows
I believe we came from nowhere. We show up, and we are now here. It's all the same. It just is a question of spacing.
parent trying littles
If you try to find your source, you are not going to find it in a tiny little particle that began with your parents commingling.
running yoga home
I think anything that you can use to connect is fine. For some people it's meditation. For some people it's yoga. For some people, it's running. For some people, it's affirmations. For me, it's photographs and drawings, and affirmations, and statues, and crystals. I fill my writing space and I fill my home with symbols of what I think of as higher energy.
perfect moments connected
When you're connected to God, every moment is perfectly perfect.
counterfeit
When you're at peace, there's no counterfeit freedom.
order practice ego
You have to recognize that God isn't something outside of you - a cosmic bellboy to whom you pray in order to get this or that if you do the right things. Those kinds of understandings are all ego talk. Everybody - you, me, Osama bin Laden, Adolf Hitler - we all came from the same Source. Then we took on these egos and began to practice all kinds of things based in not having reverence for life, whereas that which is God has reverence for all life. All excuses are nothing more than misalignments with God.
