you
where is the doorway that leads to the
end of suffering where is the doorway to
freedom you can't find it because you
are it once you understand that the door
is always open you do not need to put
forth energy towards changing the system
which currently exists its cracks or
evidence the fissures inherent within
its system will ensure its inevitable
collapse all you must do is decide what
you want to build in its place what is
missing from our lives the awareness
that nothing is missing from our lives
at all everything you could ever want is
right here where you stand all we need
do is awaken to it what comes from a
mind that does not question its own
judgment only darkness nothing good
comes from a mind which is not
questioned once you question your mind
you will find out what freedom really is
it is true that the truth shall set you
free but whose truth it is your truth
that will set you free to try to hold
two things which we like and try to
avoid things which we do not like are
the pillars upon which suffering stands
if you wish to learn unconditional love
learn it from the earth you walk upon if
you bomb her deserts poison her rivers
and cut down her for she still keeps on
giving to you that is the proof of her
love when you ask am i making a
difference I will ask you did you smile
at someone you would consider a stranger
today if the answer is yes then yes how
were the oceans formed drop by drop my
friends drop by drop regardless of what
you may think about yourself regardless
of what you've been told or taught to
believe there is nothing wrong with you
there never was
why does it feel good to bring happiness
to others why does it feel good to help
it is not because of the social
conditioning you've received it is not
because it is virtuous it is because the
thread which weaves its way through
human consciousness is
interconnectedness we are all one
you cannot smile at someone without
receiving the same benefits you give
away you were not born to become an
ideal you were born to become your own
true authentic self what is the best
decision that person can make this
decision I will not shut one more thing
out of my heart ideals are tools for
inspiration they are not realities in
and of themselves so use them to inspire
you to become more and to expand but
don't hold to them thinking that without
them you aren't good enough without
understanding the sources of suffering
we will continue to grasp at the tools
of fear we will continue to grasp at
greed at possession at violence it is
only when we understand the true root of
our suffering that we will ever be free
and never note joy love that is real
love always brings openness and joy
Neverland to ourselves but the object of
our love
if the love we're giving does not
actually create this kind of openness
and this kind of joy it is not real love
instead it is something else disguised
under the words of love you cannot have
a life you cannot lose a life because
you are life potential is worth and all
that dies around at leaves it green
don't wait for the day that all your
suffering is gone to choose to live a
happy life you can only find what once
was lost so lose yourself and find
yourself again are you brave enough to
let your world fall apart so you can
build it back anew the meaning of life
is contained in every single expression
of life
all you have to do is train yourself to
see it if this world seems cold and
violent and dark to you don't shut it
out instead become what you're wanting
to see in this world understanding means
the willingness to lay down your
judgment and step outside the box of
your current knowledge let your own life
be your message to the world happiness
is not a state that we suddenly arrive
at one day instead it as a way of
traveling when one Avenue of happiness
closes another one opens
we spend so much of our time looking at
the closed door we can't even notice the
one that is open hope and trust our
dreams they are the dreams of those
people who are awake the only way of
finding out what is possible is to go
beyond the limits of what we think is
possible into the impossible love is
your birthright if you're willing to
accept it like flower opens up to the
Sun it will be yours we are powerful
beings capable of creating joy or
success pain or suffering our destiny is
not to become victims self-love is the
trump card it is the route around which
everything grows ego is nothing more
than the illusion that there is a
separate self happy life is nothing more
than a succession of happy moments but
so many of us are unwilling to see the
happy moment because we are so busy
trying to get the happy life the
momentum of free will within this
universe is inescapable you do not need
to seek salvation from God because you
are the God that you seek do not allow
yourself to die before you are fully
born this kind of birth is a birth we
give to ourselves the person who does
not fear death does not experience death
instead they experience a shift in
perspective death calls our own eternal
nature into question so it can be found
again love is not merely a goal it is
the means by which we reach that goal
the universe you live in is a reflection
of what's within you so don't look
outside you for the answers they were
with you all along the day has come that
the strength that takes to stay tightly
closed in the bud is more painful than
the risk it takes to bloom your purpose
will literally fall in your lap when
you're willing to take the risk of
living at the mercy of your own joy
loves purpose is to transform everything
unlike itself an act of love that fails
is just as important as an act of love
that succeeds it is not judged by its
reception but rather by the fullness of
itself that which precedes the
breakthrough is the breakdown health is
a practice love is a practice
enlightenment is a practice none of the
aforementioned are a result if we learn
to open our hearts everyone especially
the people that we cannot stand become
our greatest teachers
it is not trust and love that is
weakness it is distrust and hatred that
is weakness this life was not meant to
be lived timidly all too often we find
that we have lived our life safely only
to arrive at death safely the ultimate
happiness is to love without conditions
love destroys all memory of a beginning
and all fear of an end your power is the
power of focus your freedom is the
freedom of thought
love without understanding cannot truly
exist all it is is the prison of love
the real miracle is not walking on water
or flying in the air the real miracle is
walking upon the earth as you do every
single day your life has no more
limitations than the limitations that
you yourself put on it joy is an
ever-present truth quiet and waiting in
the small things that surround you
waiting for your notice you have an
option when you experience pain the
first is to let it make you harder the
second is to let it make you softer the
purpose of your life is to follow your
joy
