Faith is the open door for entering into the present, perfect, and eternal love of God. Urantia Papers

now, love

Life is now, not in our remembered past or projected future. We can never arrive into the present moment as long as thoughts rage in our active minds. Faith is accepting something as being true without first experiencing it as truth. Such is the faith required to enter fully into the Now. Here we can palpably experience God’s presence which is Love. Our being-ness (not discernible via thinking) is made of God-substance. That’s how close God, Love, is. Rejoice!!

Adults are obsolete children. Dr. Seuss

childlike

We lose our innocence once we’re kids no more. So sad. Life becomes serious and worrisome. Happiness and fun is only experienced fleetingly. Where did we go wrong? I think we became too smart for our own good. We understood a bit too much about life. We lost our innocent faith in goodness. Thus we became too tame. Let’s shake off this ridiculous mask of adult-hood. And, regain the innocent awe and wonder of a child that trusts its divine parent no matter what!

And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started. T. S. Eliot

here and now

We decided to get out there and explore. And so we did. It’s been a very long time and now we’re weary and have had enough. But we’ve lost our way, we don’t know where home is. Home is here, right where we started, and right now. The journey, the adventure we undertook was real in Time and in Space. But our home is beyond these two, beyond all concepts, in the timeless Now, in the very presence of All That Is.

…an individual rebellion based on meditativeness… – Osho

the only way

We live and actively participate in a grand and illusory drama. The only way out is to become still and allow our wild egoic-mind to come to a stop. Then the peaceful and joyous center, that’s already there, makes itself known. That’s who we are. When that original self becomes dominant in our lives we’re ready to spread and share that loving-joy with those around us. That’s the only way to change our own world and the planet.
