Unity or Division

Posted on by

Our task here is to BE LOVE.  In easy times, bringing the best version of ourselves to every situation can be, at times, challenging.  During times of conflict and chaos, it is ESSENTIAL.  Amazing growth is possible now due to this challenge.  So, let’s take a quick look at the political scene in the USA right now.

Whenever you hear a person in power working to “other” some group with less political power, take note and be aware.  People of color, immigrants, laborers, women, LGBTQ community, Muslims… all of these groups have less political power in this country than the ruling class of the wealthy.

Division is a tool of autocrats, racists, authoritarians and dictators, and the saddest thing is to realize that human beings are quite vulnerable to this tactic.  There is a reason many authoritarians work to undermine education and fight against critical thinking: Our UNITY is our strength.Continue reading→

Lightly My Darling

I’ve always loved Aldous Huxley; so many beautiful books and quotes from such a lovely spirit!  I highly recommend all of his writings, if you haven’t yet discovered him.

Here’s one that spoke to me today… perhaps it will speak to you, as well.  “Lightly my darling.”

It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling.

Love and Compassion Bring Happiness

Posted on by

“We can reject everything else: religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of LOVE and COMPASSION….This, then, is my true religion, my simple faith.

In this sense, there is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is COMPASSION. LOVE for others and RESPECT for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are: ultimately these are all we need. So long as we practice these in our daily lives, then no matter if we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in Buddha or God, or follow some other religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be HAPPY.”
~ Dalai Lama
