Simply Love

"If I have faith that moves mountains but have not love, I am nothing" Corinthians 13:2

My faith which I have in you is as potent as it gets and with that, there is nothing that will stop me from reaching you. Happiness; that is your name and you are my sheer reason for life. Within her I find you, within passion you dwell with patience waiting for me to achieve, with health and strength you are there to see me through but with that faith a requirement is a mist. With me and within me something is leaving holes, blank spaces and I don't feel complete. But AH, it is you, Love that dwell within that hole, I just wasn't aligned and aware. Without Love I would be no more. Love created me and Love is all that lives within the truth of this universe. But of this love, it doesn't pout, it doesn't demand and it doesn't disappoint. Love is with me when I see her, Love is walking beside me while I pursue my passion and love is embedded in every strain of happiness and joy. So the message is short and simple tonight. Love is the key and always the answer. Yes, with faith one could literally moves mountains aside but without Love an empty space will remain where that mountain once stood. So have faith, have hope but most of all; be and express Love because it is your power and your true reason and Love is always all out joy.

"there is no fear in Love but perfect Love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in Love" 1 John 4:18

Love is all out perfection, strength and also...Love is the way so express it proudly and do it with faith that can and will move mountains.

Namaste and God bless

Ask questions of life and THINK before you believe!

A prediction was made not all that long ago that a "dooms day" would occur on May 21, 2011 which I didn't take seriously at all and thought no one else would ether, man was a wrong. Obviously I wasn't wrong about not taking the whole dooms day rumor serious otherwise I don't think I would be sitting here writing on this blog right now but the part that I was wrong about was the fact that I didn't think so many people would have taken it seriously as they did. Are people of the world so lost and in need of a leader or someone to follow so badly that they would listen to some guy who claims to know the day and time that the world would end, its crazy but it seems so.

There is nothing wrong with having a teacher or leader that teaches a particular spiritual or religious practice, as a matter of fact there are various people that I admire from various religions and various philosophies and they have all been great guides for me within my life and have shown me so much which has truly brought out something of love within me. But to be so lost in life that you follow a person who tells you some fear based information like the world is going to end and if you don't claim what he claims in the way he claims it you will burn and suffer isn't really a spiritual teacher at all, always remember this, love always empowers and fear disables. No matter who a true spiritual teacher is or what religion he or she claims to be part of or no matter what authority the individual may claim to have, if the so called wisdom that he or she is sharing doesn't feel as if it is giving you some sort of self empowerment he or she isn't a spiritual teacher at all. This is the easiest way to tell if someone is authentic or not, this is the way to tell if they are sharing REAL wisdom as in if this wisdom really does make YOU feel like a more powerful, free individual. This is the way and I don't understand or see how the person who started the dooms day rumor did this for anyone in a REAL since.

If one is to do research on the whole dooms day issue they would see that this idea is fairly new. Yes, it hasn't even been around for that long. Now there are verses in the bible that do speak of last days, raptures and such, but in order to understand these verses in full I believe that one needs to sit with them on there own, read them with an open mind and also do the research to learn and understand how people thought in the days that the passage was written. Everyone doesn't look at the bible as a spiritual book for themselves and this is a fact that I realize and respect to the fullest. Some people have the Koran, some have the Torah and some have other books that they hold dearly for the sake of there growth. Its up to you if you choose the bible or any other books, I myself do look at the bible as a book of spiritual truths but for me it's not the only so called spiritual book that I use on my path of enlightenment. My purpose of this blog is not to promote any particular religion or philosophy and also it isn't to put any of them down ether. My purpose in writing this or any other post that I write is a purpose that is surrounded by love and love only. If I learn something I share it with loving intentions, I make an attempt to empower everyone who reads my post to the fullest whether you believe in God or not. Love is what I am here to promote, not a certain religion but as I have said already I gain insight from various sources so I have used bible verses in my past blogs a long with sayings from other sources and will continue to do so. So in saying all of this it is up to you if you want to look at a person who claims to know what day the world will end as a leader or not but this is what I tell everyone; no matter what you feel will happen in the future (which doesn't even exist right now) or what you feel is truth or not, if you feel that the bible is literally the words of some god out there somewhere or if you look at it more so in a symbolic since remember that spiritually starts within, not on the outside of you.

Spirituality starts within. That is where it starts and that is what it is all about. Spirituality is about inner growth. Its about realizing that inner self and having it grow to everything that it was meant to grow into. Its about realizing your purpose, your strengths and your joys. It's about an inner growth and since everyone doesn't go through the same issues in life, speak the same languages, live in the same country, are exposed to the same media and don't come up in the same culture do you think that everybody's journey was meant to entail the same aspects in full? This is where I ran into a lot of walls back when I did consider myself under one particular religion. It seemed that within it, I was supposed to follow a certain set of rules, act a certain way, be a certain person and it was being told to me from an outside source. I couldn't be me because within the religion I was told to be something else already. I had questions and thoughts that were never answered and I also had thoughts that were thought of to be sinful or even blasphemous so what did I do with those? I covered them up and with that I didn't express a true aspect of who and what I truly was. When push came to shove and when all of the clouds settled I did and do still to this day believe in the love of Jesus, but he isn't the only one whose love I believe in and to me this doesn't take a damn thing away from him. To some people it does but not me and for those people I say keep up what you are doing if it does that growth thing for your inner self. No one can tell you what your purpose is because only you know that. No one can tell you what path to take in life because YOU only know that and a guide never tells the person that they are guiding where to go ether, remember that. If you asked me if I know how to get to 5th street all I can do is be a guide for you and tell you the best way that I know to get to that street. I'm not going to tell you, "You don't want to go to 5th street, let me tell you how to get to where you really want to go. You want to go to 8th street instead and I will show you the way to get there because if you go to 5th street you will burn." That isn't a guide at all, you didn't need me to tell you where to go because you already know where you need to go, you told me where you need to go and I simply told you the best way I know to get there. It is the same with spirituality and these so called guides. So if someone tells you that you need to believe in a certain philosophy in a certain way or if you don't then something really bad is going to happen to you why would you follow them in the first place? Why would you give them money so that they may spread a message of fear throughout the world? Why would you even give them a ear to listen? Where is the growth in that and seriously, does it make since to know when the world will end if it is going to end? What would be the point of having a judgement day if you knew the day anyway? How would you get judge if you knew, you wouldn't be judged off the authentic self you would be judged off of the person that you pretend to be when that day occurs, how silly is that and what is the point anyway?

As I said earlier if you feel that there is a god somewhere who judges and will judge you there is nothing wrong with believing that. Maybe that belief helps you to be the best person you can be so nothing wrong with it if it does that for you. I myself chooses to believe in a God that is all out love. To me true love is unconditional and unconditional means unconditional as in under any condition. I don't know if saying "yea god is unconditional but if you don't act and believe in him in a certain way you are going to be judged and burn in an eternal hell" is a god that is truly unconditional in his love, I mean what kind of free will or unconditional love is that anyway? Sounds pretty damn conditional if you ask me. What kind of god judges people anyway? Certainly not one that is "all forgiving". I mean if this god is all forgiving as certain individuals say he is why didn't he forgive the ones that are damned to an eternal hell? Also, if I am sitting in some hell burning everyday don't you think I would get use to the burning sensation? After that I don't think it would even be suffering to me anymore now would it? Do people ask themselves these types of questions before they believe in things of these types in a literally way?

If I had a child and they did something wrong, no matter how wrong I thought it was I would always forgive them and I would always want happiness for them. I don't think I would want them to suffer eternally if I truly loved them. I don't want anyone to suffer eternally, what kind of person would I be if I did. This individual who claimed to know when the world was going to end acted like he wanted the so called "wicket" people to suffer eternally and he wanted the people who agreed with his philosophy to gain the eternal bliss. What kind of spiritual leader is this???? I feel that love lives in all and in everyone and I want everyone to gain that feeling. I believe that when people do wrong they are being misguided therefore they are making mistakes. Why would I or anyone want someone to suffer eternally for a mistake? I mean I make mistakes all of the time and if I didn't make them I would never gain the opportunity to grow and become a better person. I've said wrong things and believed in false wisdom in my life but my question is who hasn't? I've made mistakes and I continue to make them day after day and because of them I grow. So if I was to make a mistake in believing in a god that doesn't exist or isn't real would the real God really punish me eternally for that error or forgive me and allow me to rectify that error? And for the people who consider God a father of all of us let me ask you this, what kind of father punishes his children eternally anyway and puts them through eternal suffereing? I will tell you what kind does that, a child abuser does and I don't think God is a child abuser.

As I have said already I do look at the bible as a book of true wisdom but also I understand the context and the time that it was written in. I understand that within this book there is history, there are some myths and there is a very old culture which it is attempting to speak to. The wisdom is there yes but in order to use this wisdom in MY life I would need to understand the mind set of the people back when it was written. I would also need to understand that even if this book is the world of God it came through people so some of what it came through is going to get mixed up in it. Its like if I were to swim across a lake, when I got out of the lake some of that lake is going to be on me. Some of the water and germs from that lake is going to be on me, it just is but this doesn't mean that I am not who and what I claim to be. With all of the scientific discoveries and all else that we have discovered about the world, ourselves and the universe it would be a bit on the elementary side to look at the bible in such a literal since as if I am still in the same mind set as people were back when. Plus I am also growing within a different culture then people back then, all if these things need to be looked at and thought about when reading any old spiritual book. I am not taking anything away from this great book because it has and still to this day helps me with my spiritual growth but if I were to blindly follow anything whether it be a person or a book in life in general I might as well simply ask someone to remove my brain from my head, I mean I'm not using it anyway if I am allowing someone else to run my life in such a way now am I?

So in closing of this blog post I say ask questions of life, make mistakes and know that the only suffering you will gain within making the mistake is within the mistake itself, there is nothing out there ready to punish you for your sins because our sins punish us within themselves. I wrote in an earlier blog post about sin and what the word sin really means but just to refresh your memory on the whole issue sin means miss the mark as in missing the mark in your life and we all do this from time to time, there is nothing wrong about it ether because this is how we grow. If dooms day is going to happen I believe that it will happen in different ways for different people and also at different times. We all are One, we all are One in the same but in the same token we are different. All the cells in our body are cells and they all live for one and the same purpose but yet they all are different. Red blood cells do not do the same thing as white blood cells and none of these cell do the same thing as the skin cells. One in the same but different. This is how it is for us as well. So before you start buying some story that some so called spiritual teacher is selling look within and see how it make you feel. You emotions and intuition are your indicators on this. If you are feeling better about yourself, more knowledgeable and self empowered you are looking at truth in its purest form. But if you feel that this teacher has you co-dependent on him or her or if you feel you are losing self empowerment in following this person then they are not a true spiritual teacher and they shouldn't be followed. And above all please use your brain, use common since and think for yourself. This is your life you are living, you have to live with your believes, you have to wake up to yourself every morning, its all about you when it comes down to it, you and your happiness because happiness is the point to this life not suffering. Research your spiritual books, understand the context of the time that it was written in and use your spiritual practices to uplift and inspire others only, not to scare them in any shape, size or form. This is what spirituality is about anyway, that inner growth not to sit somewhere and make a prediction about the world ending in order to gain more followers for your cause. To me that is nothing but the ego and the ego really has nothing to do with God. Spread love, be happy, live this life and simply enjoy because that is your birth right. Be free!!!

Namaste




We are all LOVE!!!!!!

Passion IS life!

"When work, commitment and pleasure all become one and you reach the deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible." (The person who quoted this is unknown)


To reach this place and to find this place with thy self is to reach the point of life and the place where life truly begins.


"If there is no passion in your life then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become YOU and you will find great things happen for you, to you and because of you" (T Alan Armstrong)


If one were to ask me if I knew what my passions were in life I would have to say yes but if one were to ask if life was any easier because I know what my passions are I would have to quickly say no. But what is life if a passion isn't felt and lived? Is that even truly living or what? There was a time in life where I never felt a lost, I never had a broken heart, I never truly knew what it was like to stare fear straight in the face and allow its glare to engulf my body and soul. There was a time that I didn't express my true self but I didn't express a self that was a carbon copy of what this fear based world that we live in wanted me to ether. So as I wasn't phony and as I didn't even express my TRUE it was like I didn't truly live BUT, as it was life was easier in a lot of ways. Then as I opened myself up I started to find a truth. This truth was something that I had to look within to find, within that truth I also found and then felt the true living God and also I found a love that was lacking within my existence before that day. Love was present within my life yes but not much of it was what I felt for myself. To learn that these truths were always present and lingering was also to learn something that was a bit scary within itself. I was different, way different then what the world said I should be. I saw the fear based aspects of every placed rule that makes the fear which thrives within this world go around and I also found that within these rules and ways were lies. If I were to live them they would be lies within themselves with me so I figured why even try. So as life went on and I started to learn more about the TRUTH of the world thus learning more about my true essence my passions couldn't help but rear there heads for me to see.


We all know what our passions are because we are born with them instilled within us. There is no one who can tell us what they are, there is no place which we can find them accept from within and with our passions being lived, and at the moment when we say to ourselves that we are going to truly LIVE our passions we are truly born to what life really is. No passion, no life but we are all a live at this moment, aren't we? If that were true then it would be totally possible to live without a passion but I tell you this, it is impossible to LIVE without a passion. Simply because you are taking air into your lungs and your heart is beating doesn't mean you are truly living. To live means to be a live not to have LIFE and our passions are what makes us live.


Our perceptions of events which occur in life are what makes those events into whatever they end up being and meaning for us. Also, the point of life is HAPPINESSS, there is no other point to this life but just that. Within our passions happiness is inevitable but to gain this passion may not be easy. Now if your passion is to gain a union labor job, work a whole bunch of hours and gain a great retirement plan a long with great health benefits even though this type of situation isn't really EASY to obtain, it would be easier then if your passion was..say...painting nature or writing music. But to be honest and I humbly believe this, no one's passion would entail gaining a job with long hours, great benefits and a great retirement plan and I mean NO ONE. How do I know this? Because I happen to know where we all came from and WHO instilled our passions within us in the first place.


Some may call this aspect that we all are from God, some may call it Source, some make call it the great creator. Others may call it the Universe and some may not call it anything at all, then there are some who look at it as just plain Love but whatever you call it our passions would be aligned with what it is because we are from it and every aspect of us has it within. If I dip water out of the ocean it will be salty. This is because the source of where I got it from is salty. If I cut a peace of pie from a fruit pie that peace will be fruity as well because..well..it came from a "fruity" source. So where do we come from and what does what we come from do? Whatever you call what we came from know that this entity in whole creates. Everything in existence was created, whether you consider yourself a creationist or an evolutionist you have to realized that creation does exist. Evolution is a form of creation as well, whether you feel there is a supreme being at the head of this creation or not, things were created and that which creates is that which WE all come from. So that makes us all creators too point blank.


The world that we live in will tell us that we need to get a high paying job with benefits to be happy, even if we don't like the job that we do but in doing this we are not doing the world or ourselves justice. If a job is needed to be done in this world there is someone with the passion to do it in a creative manner. We all want to create and if one comes across a child who says they love to write one might look at the world as it is and find that becoming a writer isn't a sure shot thing. One may think it more loving to sway the child to want to become something more "stable" like a public transportation driver or one may try and convince the child to gain the want to go to one hundred years of schooling to become a lawyer because these jobs are more stable. But let me tell you this, nothing at all is stable. When I get done writing this blog I may get up and my heart may just stop beating or someone could walk up to my open window and open fire, killing me where I sit. Anything could happen, I am not even guaranteed the next moment to live, even that isn't "stable" so why let that fear based aspect stop you from your passion. If you don't live within your passion you are not living at all and your passion will always entail something creative.


Whether you have a passion for racing cars and you want to become a NASCAR racer, or if you have a passion for building and you want to build homes for a living, or even if you have a passion for partying and you want to basically make a living by going to parties it all has been done by someone. I don't care if your passion is collecting dead bugs or bird watching, all of these things entail a creative mind and they can be what gives you life point blank. Even with NASCAR racing, one has to create a style of racing that will win races, all passion entail creativeness and we all do know what our passions are. The easiest way to see what your passion is would be to look at what you think you want to do with your life and ask yourself if you would be willing to do this task for FREE; as in not get paid one red cent to do the task. If your answer is a no or worst a HELL NO then you are not pursuing your passion. I am going to share the easiest way to see what your passion is. Think about things that you really enjoy doing and I don't care how silly or crude this act or task may be, I don't care if you say "I really enjoy laying in the grass and looking at the clouds go by". It would be better if you would write down 15 things that you enjoy doing even if you have never done them before. Within this list you can have things that you always wanted to do as well. Look over the list and pick out the 3 most forefilling things and then within those things your passion will more then likely lie. These have to be things that you really find make you, complete you and things that you really think would help life to basically become more enjoyable for you. As I said, nothing is exempt, I don't care if you say your passion is to have sex, I don't care if you say your passion is to clean houses or write on walls, as I have said, all of these things are things that people do take part in and things that they also live off of. I don't care if you feel that your passion may not be accepted by your family or culture, it doesn't matter because a person who doesn't accept you for all that you are is a person that doesn't accept the true YOU.


If we all lived for our passions this world would be a better place for all. Everything that got done would be done to the best ability that it could be done. This world would be cleaner and more loving. People would smile as they made there way to there work places because they would know that they are about to do something they really love. Now as I said, a passion may not be that easy to obtain and it may seem that things may get damn hard in the path to your passion. For this reason a lot of people give up on there passions and this fact is truly ashame. Do you know how many graves have people in them that would have come up with the cure to cancer? Or do you know how many great books were never writer, how many great movies were never made, how many great spiritual leaders were never able to stamp there aspect of love on this world as much as that is needed? All of those broken and lost dreams now lie in graves because of those who didn't pursue their passions. If you live your passion you WILL make this world a better place so I am telling you now, for the sake of this world DON'T LISTEN TO IT WHEN IT IS TELLING YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WITH YOUR LIFE!!! Pursue that passion, do it for your kids and grandkids. Do it for your loved ones, for the lost ones, for us all. We are one in this situation called life and we are part of a grand puzzle. We all fit but we have to place ourselves in the spots that we do fit and then and with that, this world will become that of love and heaven will manifest itself right in from of you. Never give up on that passion, you know what it is so pursue and enjoy. Life was meant to be enjoyed and without passion life isn't being lived at all.


Namaste

Bin Laden's death, a lesson in violents.




An event occurred yesterday which sparked plenty of celebration in America and also other places in the world. A terrorist was so called brought to justice, killed where he hid for his life. When this occurred I first felt a bit of joy spark in me. For any American, the 911 incident was more so one of the most horrific events to occur. So many innocent lives were taken, people who were just going about there daily business were killed. People who wouldn't have hurt anyone for any reason were killed, so many lives, so many dreams, so many great events could have occurred through some of these people and on the date of September 11st 2001 all of that was extinguished. So yes for a moment I felt joy, I felt relief and I felt as if justice had been serve but...this feeling only lasted for a moment within me.

Osama Bin Laden was one of the most wanted men in the world. He was a terrorist, he was a killer and he had millions of deaths on his hands. But to understand the whole situation in full is to gain a bit of insight on why someone would do such a thing. Why would someone chose to be so misguided and take the lives of people who would have never even occupied the same room with him, let a lone hurt him. But to come to this realization is not to gain any sympathy for this individual. Because if someone aligns themselves with a certain energy then they will attract just what they are aligned with. If someone lives by a code of violence, violence will follow and more then likely violence will take them as well. Laden was an exstremist of the worst kind. He for years had declared a jihad(holy war) on America, saying things like Americans are cocky, they are arrogant, they want to makes us(Laden's people) do what they feel we should and they don't know what they have coming for being this way. He (Laden) took the darkest parts of a religion which is more so based on love and threw it to the forefront as if this was all that this religion was all about. Bin Laden sincerely felt that he was doing God's work by killing Americans, he more then likely thought he was doing the same work that Muhammad did all those years ago. But to really look into Islam and to be educated in the slightest bit is to realize the misguidance which Laden radiated to the fullest.

Muhammad is the founder of Islam. He was said the be the last prophet of God. Muhammad was a very intelligent individual. He was intelligent well beyond his years and on top of that he couldn't even read, it seemed as if he just knew things, he had insights which help a lost people find a way to the all loving God. More so to understand what Muhammad was all about and to understand why Muhammad called his jihad all of those years ago is to understand the misunderstanding that Laden gained for the religion and the phophet that he claimed to love so much.

No matter how peaceful or serene a religion is, it's had it's day in the dark at one moment in time, Islam is no different. Muhammad did call a jihad on non-Muslims. He did order armies from ailing tribes to fight for his cause. But Muhammad wasn't always a person who involved himself in war. He was a dear husband to his wife Khadijah, a loving father to his kids and one of the most trusted individuals in the area that he lived in. But then Muhammad started gaining insights which he claimed the angle Gabriel relayed to him and with that, knowledge started to fall from his lips like never before. With this always comes strife, Jesus dealt with the same type of strife when he spoke his insights to the masses. Just as Jesus Muhammad had a message to a lost people and the message was said to come directly from God. Muhammad was so humble that he didn't even take any credit for any of the insights which he shared. But the insights were troubling to certain people. People of the tribes which Muhammad lived among already had gods which they prayed to. Muhammad was turning a lot of heads with his messages and he was giving a way to a people who really didn't know why they prayed to these gods. People started to convert to Islam by choice and this didn't sit to well with the folk who were more so loyal to their gods and their religion. They threatened Muhammad and chased him out of his country. Muhammad ran and continued to spread his message, some people felt him and converted and others shunned him. Certain Christians, Jews, and people of the tribe gods alike made it hard for Muhammad to live in a joyous and peaceful manner. Then it got to the point which Muhammad's life was threatened and that is when he called for the jihad. Now I am not excusing this action because it was a very dark time in Islamic history. The jihad in my opinion got out of hand at a point not to far from when it was first called; it got to the point where Muhammad's forces were going to all of the countries in the middle east and forcing people to become Muslims and people who refused were killed. The darkness continued until the day Muhammad was poisoned; the once enlightened man of peace killed in the line of his cause which at the time was inbedded in a code of violence.

As I said before all and every religion had a dark point in its history. But every religion holds a truth as well. Every religion has a message of love, hope and joy and every religion can be taken and grown from for the happiness and enlightenment of the individuals whom chooses to take them on, none are exempt from this equation but every religion also has extremist. Bin Laden thought to capitalize on the dark aspect of Islam with his cause at the forefront so like Muhammad he (Laden) reached out to those folk who were lost and looking for a leader. But it was more personal at the start for Laden. This man simply had a hate for America that burned his soul to a deep crisp. I can't even imagine why he hated America so much BUT...I can make guesses on some aspects of the country which I live in that may have helped to spark his hate. Point blank, I can understand why Laden felt so passionate for his cause. He truly thought he was doing the work of God and there was no one who could have told him otherwise. He lived by a violent code and because of it he died in a violent way. This is the over all lesson to be learned in this individual's death. There really isn't much to celebrate in this situation because I don't see how justice was done. Laden's death didn't bring back the people whom he had a hand in killing, it didn't do anything accept add on to the violence which already thrives in this world. Do you really think that Laden's cause will die with Laden? As soon as this man was killed someone else stepped up and took his place and now this person is going to spend his life on attempting to avenge Laden and also to let the world know that the Tali Ban still thrives. Violence leads to more violence and the only way to stop the violence is to STOP THE VIOLENCE. To me God is love and love is the answer to all issues, all of them. Not fear, love. Gandhi freed his beloved India by not ordering one person to be killed. He didn't have an army, just a heart of love and he is a perfect example of how love trumphs over all.




Now because of the Laden death issue I will not live in fear in any aspect of the word. Life will go on as it may and I am going to enjoy it. I am going to be the love which I feel God is because I am from that love and that love is my true essence. I encourage everyone else to do the same. The Dali lama said that if every child in the world meditated for one hour a day on compassion then all worldly wars would end in one generation. To me this makes a lot of since. We need to see the underline fact that we are One. We live in the universe, uni means one and a verse is a part of a song which is part of a vibe. One Vibe, One Verse, this is what we all are and we need to start acting like it before we all end up dead. I don't feel bad for Laden because of his code to a violence lifestyle. He was going to end up dying in the way that he did because he simply attracted the situation to himself. Like attracts like, this is a universal law and it exemplifies no one. Its ashame Laden didn't see the beauty and the love in Islam over the darkness. Its a shame that he was so misguided by his ego and his fears. But what is done is done and and I hope a lesson is to be learned from this event. Islam is a beautiful religion whose founder was a very enlightened individual on many levels so why not align with the beauty of the philosophy just as people like Rumi did. Ether way, more violence will more then likely occur because of the violence that occurred yesterday but this is no reason to fear. I only hope that the new leader of the Tali Ban becomes awakened and recognizes the peaceful aspect of the religion he loves. But as of now each individual has a choice in matters of the universe. We can chose love or we can chose fear. Hate is a fear aspect and strength and forgiveness are love aspects. The only way to change this world to a place of love is to radiate love. Radiate it so bright that it reaches the eyes of the Tali Ban thus redeeming them with a new realization. One of love, one that dictates love will also bring them more justice and happiness over fear. Let's simply radiate love. We are all One in this; let's start acting like it.

Namaste
