Be A Voice of Love

You are of Love; as you speak of Love, from Love, as Love. The journey of life is to keep choosing Love. Speak the language of Pure Love, where there is no judgment. Only Love. It is time for all of us to begin our new journey of Love, creating a vision of reality based on Love. Choose Love and you will see our beautiful world so full of glorious life! Our planet Earth is constantly expressing its amazing beauty of this Infinite Love. We need only to open our minds and hearts to it. It has always been there and will always be there.

Unconditional Love

My dear friend talks about Unconditional Love and I'm sharing it with you here:

Most of us think of love as a one-to-one relationship, which is all it can be on the physical level. But there is no limit to our capacity to love. We can never be satisfied by loving just one person here and another there. Our need is to love completely, universally, without any reservation - in other words, to become love itself. This is unconditional love.

Surrender in Love

A dear friend of mine e-mailed this to me, and I thought of sharing this on my blog.

Still your mind in me, still yourself in me,
And without doubt you shall be united With me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart.
But if you cannot still your mind in me, Learn to do so through the practice of meditation.
If you lack the will for such self - discipline, Engage yourself in selfless service of all around you, For selfless service can lead you at last to me.
If you are unable to do even this, Surrender yourself to me in love,
Receiving success and failure with equal calmness As granted by me.
Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice.
Better than knowledge is meditation.
But better still is surrender in love, Because there follows immediate peace.
That one I love who is incapable of ill will And returns love for hatred.
Living beyond the reach of I and mine, and of pleasure and pain; full of mercy, contented, self controlled, firm in faith,
With all their heart and all their mind given to me-With such as these I am in love.

Communicate Love

Hope you're having a good day. As some of you might already know, I am really big into the topic of Pure Love, otherwise known as Unconditional Love. I am also really into happiness and peace, and it is my wish to publish at least one book on these topics. An American lady (sorry, I forgot her name) captured some of my thoughts and feelings very well below. Thought I'd share that with you today.

Words to contemplate upon from a beautiful American soul:

Learn to communicate with nature, with animals and with other human beings. Start to observe your life, your actions, your thoughts, moment to moment. When we acknowledge the aliveness of all that surrounds us, and we understand the part we play in creating the whole, we will finally begin to experience the peace, joy and love we are searching for in our lives. Communicate, connect, learn and love more life into the world. When you love, the universe smiles and all life rejoices your love.

Personal Sovereignty

I believe the foundation for a great life begins by loving and respecting yourself. It begins with beliefs that support your self-esteem. It is your birthright to uphold your personal sovereignity!

Say and believe.....

I have a right to exist.
I am of high value to myself.
I have a right to honor my needs and wants, to treat them as important.
I am not here on earth to live up to someone else's expectations; my life belongs to me.
I deserve to be treated courteously and with respect by everyone.
If people treat me discourteously or disrespectfully, it is a reflection on them, not on me. It is only a reflection on me if I accept their treatment of me as right.
If someone I like does not return my feeling, it may be disappointing or even painful, but it is not a reflection on my personal worth.
I am better served by knowing what is true than by making myself "right" at the expense of facts.
No other individual or group has the power to determine how I will think and feel about myself.

I believe we all have issues and can relate to how we must see ourselves from a healthy perspective. I am still learning and need to constantly remind myself of the statement I wrote above. Tell me, how can we find true happiness and live in a loving world, if we do not respect ourselves, just like a sovereign nation with full and complete rights? Wishing you love always.

Think About It

The solution to the problem of the day is the awakening of the consciouness of humanity to the divinity.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

The world is not in need of a new religion, nor is the world in need of a new philosophy: What the world needs is healing and regeneration. The world needs people who, through devotion to God, are so filled with spirit that they can be instruments through which healing takes place, because healing is important to everybody.
Joel S. Goldsmith (The Art of Spiritual Healing)

Compare the serene and simple splendor of a rose in bloom with the tensions and restlessness of your life. The rose has a gift that you lack; It is perfectly content to be itself. It has not been programmed from birth, as you have been, to be dissatisfied with itself, so it has not the slightest urge to be anything other than it is. That is why it possesses the artless grace and absence of inner conflict that among humans is only found in children and mystics.
Anthony DeMello (The Way to Love)

Celebrate Love

Hope you're happy and doing well. I just wanted to share with you about my thoughts on Valentine's Day. On this day, some will view it as a time for romantic celebration. And so be it, if it makes you happy and you believe in it. But I have always viewed it as a day to celebrate love in all forms such as friendship, family, nature, etc. And on a day like this, it would also be good to celebrate it with people who are often forgotten. I have previously done projects where kids make special packages for people living in Old Folks Home, Women's Shelter and Orphanages. Everybody feels good after that. I like this because instead of hoping that somebody will give you something or feeling a little blue, you have just created loving energy amongst strangers who would truly appreciate it and you're guaranteed to feel happy also. I believe that love should be celebrated everyday and the answer to everything is LOVE! So, I'm sending you all my loving energies right now. Know that you are loved at all times!

My friends and I are currently working on peace and values-based education for social change/development in educational instituitions around the world. We are currently working with a few international partners to create and establish these type of programs internationally. If you have any information of other schools that might be interested, organizations that would support us or if you're aware of educators and peace-themed conference, please e-mail me. We are always on the look out to update our skills, to meet more like-minded people and to learn of amazing projects that supports our dream of a peaceful and loving world.
