En dag i taget

Ikväll hittade jag de få brev jag sparat
Brev från min älskade pappa
Brev från min tonårstid

Hur han försökte balansera
mellan förmanande och förståelse

Hur han peppade mig att fortsätta stå upp för det jag tyckte var rätt:

Fortsätt protestera mot det Du inte tycker är rätt.
Strunta i om de tycker att Du är uppkäftig.
Huvudsaken är att Du gör det Du tycker är rätt och kan stå för det!

Det är minnenas kväll
sorgen finns där
men också tacksamheten
och glädjen att ha fått mötas

Jag saknar min pappa <3

Förra veckan kände jag hans närvaro
då luften vibrerade av änglar

Som jag önskar att allt varit annorlunda

Kanske möts vi igen?

Pride can get in the way of forgiving.
Pride is one manifestation of ego.
Ego is the transient false self.

You are not your body.
You are not your brain.
You are not your ego.
You are greater than all of these.

You need your ego to sure survive in the three dimensional world,
but you need only that part of the ego which process information.
The rest – pride, arrogance defensiveness, fear – is worse than useless.
The rest of the ego separates you from wisdom, joy and God.

You must transcend your ego and find your true self.
The true self is the permanent, deepest part of you.
It is wise, loving, safe and joyful.

Ur Only Love Is Real

Love is the ultimate answer.
Love is not an abstraction but an actual energy, or spectrum of energies,
which you can create and maintain in your being.

Just be loving. You are beginning to touch God within yourself.
Feel loving. Express your love. Love disolves fear.
You cannot be afraid when you are feeling love.
Since everything is energy, and love encompasses all energies, all is love.
This is a strong clue to the nature of God.

When you are loving and unafraid, you can forgive.
You can forgive others, and you can forgive yourself.
You begin to see with the proper perspective.
Guilt and anger are reflections of the same fear.
Guilt is a subtle anger directed inward.
Forgiveness dissolves guilt and anger.
They are unnecessary, damaging emotions.

Forgive. This is an act of love.

Ur Only Love Is Real

Love is like a fluid, it fills up crevices. It fills empty spaces of its own accord. It is we, it is people who stop it by erecting false barriers. And when love cannot fill our hearts and our minds, when we are disconnected from our souls, which consists of love, then we all go crazy.

God is one, it is all one vibration, one energy. The only difference is the rate of vibration. So God and people and rocks have the same relationships as steam and water and ice. Everything, all that is, is made up of the one. Love  breaks down the barriers and creates unity. That which creates barriers and creates separateness and differences is ignorance.

Jag fick ett visdomsord av en vacker själ

Framrutan ska alltid vara större än backspegeln

Hur ser min framruta ut?
Vad symboliserar den?
Vågar jag se ut genom den fullt ut?
Utan backspegelns gamla rädslor?

Jag tänker på hur framrutan spruckit gång på gång
av stenskott efter stenskott *ler*

Lite som min vision i mitt målarbete
Ska jag våga lita på livet?
Lita på att visionen är nåbar
Låta den samla kraft och styrka i tillit

Kommer livets stenskott att skapa sprickor i mig?
Då jag tror att jag går där, äntligen trygg på livets väg

Upprepas mönstren?
De tunga ingrodda mönstren av att inte riktigt duga till
av att inte riktigt vara värd det bästa

Att våga se framåt i tillit

Lever jag det liv jag vill leva?
Vågar jag lita på min inneboende styrka?

Vågar jag lita på att kärleken bär?
Kärleken till mig själv
Kärleken till livet
Kärleken till vackra själar

Vågar jag tillåta mig kärlek?
Vågar jag leva mitt liv fullt ut?

Så outhärdligt vackert… en rädsla helt stilla… en kärlek så stark…
Håll mig medans jag blir jag…

Our bodies and our souls are like cars and their drivers.
Allways remember that you are the driver, not the car.
Don’t identify with the vehicle.

The emphasis these days on prolonging the duration of our lives,
on living to one hundred years of age or more, is madness.
The body of the car is rusting out,
the transmission has been rebuilt five times,
things are falling off the engine,
and yet you refuse to turn it in.

Meanwhile there is a brand new Corvette waiting for you just around the corner.
All you have to do is gently step out of the old Ford and slide into the beautiful Corvette.

The driver, the soul, never changes.
Only the car.

Ur Only Love Is Real

Why is everybody so obsessed with living longer?
Why squeeze a few more unhappy years out of the geriatric end?
Why the preoccupation with cholesterol levels, bran diets, lipid counts, aerobic exercise, and so on?

Doesn’t it make more sense to live joyously now,
to make every day full,
to love and be loved,
rather than worry so much about your physical health in an unknown future?

What if there is no future?
What if death is a release into bliss?
I am not saying to neglect your  body, that it is all right to smoke or to drink excessively
or to abuse substances or to be grossly obese.
These conditions cause pain, grief and disability.

Just don’t worry so much about the future.
Find your bliss today!
The irony is that, given this attitude and living happily in the present,
you probably will live longer anyway.

Ur Only Love Is Real
