DO NOT MISTAKE STILLNESS FOR INACTIVITY

God Christ appears in every millenium, in various incarnations, to annhilate the demons, protect the devotees, and reestablish the principles of religion.


Love and devotion is the Way
Why so exclusive in your religion buddy? We are all God's chosen people. He Loves us all just the same. If He has any preference it is for those who Love and serve Him. We are all eligible. No one owns God. We all have equal opportunity for heaven. The worst illusion is the false notion of owning anything. Now man is running to and from claiming proprietorship on land. Everybody wants to be Lord of something material. So we run around and artifically demarcate and segregate peoples and wave our flags around. The masses scattered about attempting to cling to something, some kind of permanence. God is the only owner. He is the Lord of everything material and amaterial, your body, your job, your kids, your intelligence, your house, your planet included. And we're sittin here with a chisel carving up God's territory just to fill our never satisfied bellies. What God gave us is more than sufficient but when we can't control ourselves and blind ourselves in the indulgence of our ever-rebelious appetities, we start flippin out and start doin some crazy shit like taking away what God gave other people for their sustenance and prosperity.

It's all on loan. Being present has the greatest return. It is of great interest to reconcile with the past and to walk mindfully toward an auspicious future built in the Here and Now.

SCHOOL ME PAPI. We're all refugees, chased away from our homes, abdicated of our thrones, milling about wonderin what the hells goin on. We're all out of Eden. We've all left the heart center, the center of our hearts, and put on the confining cumberbun of the ego. We all bit from the tree and with it came self-knowledge. Now its not that nudity is shameful, its just now I am aware of my own self and oh shit, I'm naked and I have no time for you or God!!! Now its all about me, how I look, how I'm perceived, etc, etc, etc. In paradise, its not about you. Its about God. You lose "you" because you are just so bugged out by the ineffable beauty of the King. You are totally absorbed in Love. Do whatever it is that makes you forget "you" and stay away from those things that bolster your ego and reinforce your sense of separateness from God. God is One.

God is the Supreme I. When you say the word, "I", like in I am going to the store, in reality you're stealing the show from God who is the only One really worthy of using the word "I'. Because when he says 'I', it means Everything, the wife, the kids, the peanut butter, Jupiter, Mars, your veins, your breath, wampum, sea creatures, the unseen, and it goes on. But when I say "I' , I'm really only referring to the affairs of my tiny temporal body, bound by time and space. God's "I" is far cooler than my "I". But since God is One, then that means that my "I" has to be an integral part of God's "I". I can only have an "I" cuz it exists in God. So wait, God's awareness is my awareness? But I can't poop straight. How can that be? Yes God wants to give you His awareness (which is Bliss or a happiness our brains can never conceive) but in order to do so you have to lose your "I", your sense of self, your ego, that which prevents you from experiencing the ecstasy of communion with the Supreme. You, yes the person who you think you are and take pride in (e.g. talented university student, smart, has potential, skinny legs, doesn't smoke, etc.), is your greatest obstacle in seeing whats behind the scenes. All that time huffing and puffing up your pride, arrogance and vanity, but in the end the jokes on no one but yourself. You got stuck in your head and never made it to the heart.

To remove yourself from the picture avoid talking about your problems and stop complaining. Its not about you. Energy used in worrying about your own sustenance and maintenance is foolishness and can be better utilized in prayerful service to Jah, to your gramma, to your neighbor, friend or stranger. To remove yourself from the picture, lower yourself first. Know that by doing so you are avoiding lifes greatest and most treacherous snare......the ego's nourishment and elevation. No, there are certain things that are meant to be dealt with in a stern and severe manner. The ego is one of those things.

I left paradise and opted for an ego trip. I tried to front like I was God, like I could do anything. I abandoned innocence for sophistication, to be esteemed in the eyes of man. We're all refugees when the sweet home-cooked aroma of our innocence is all but a memory. Let's go back Home together. Home is where the heart is, literally and spiritually. How you get there is up to you, but just get there!!! Zion Train, all aboard. Toot toot.
