God Speaks No Words But You Can Hear Him Clearly

Shhhhhh I can't hear you when you're talking.....

I had a grand epiphany one day while listening to a random radio show interview. It made so much sense. The speaker was basically saying that language is what screws everything up. If we did not have language and we lived with the silence God speaks nothing would be as it is today. Without language we would not have liars, we would not have manipulation, we would not have any form of miscommunication or misunderstandings, we would love our leaders and not feel tricked or cheated ever. How could this be? What is this God language? It's silence.

You know how when you are sitting there and you hear someone say to you that they love you but when turn off your ears you feel they are not telling you the truth. Intentions speak louder than words. Emotions, feeling, vibes, energy, or whatever you want to call it is merely silence the language of God. You can hear much clearer if you were in silence why do you think you can't concentrate when there is chaos all around you? It's the noise that keeps you from thinking clearly. What about all that noise in your head? Where did it come from why is it there? It may have something to do with the television, or the radio, or that fact that you just do not know what to do if there wasn't noise. How many of you can honestly say you can sit in a quiet room with nothing on your mind for more than five minutes? Not very many. But I promise you that if you were to switch from noise to silence everything in life would become crystal clear. Things would just naturally begin to make sense. God speaks so loudly to us when there is no noise. When you are out camping or hiking in nature don't you have a overwhelming peaceful feeling? Why do you think that is? Could it be because nature speaks the language of God? When I am with my infant at home I feel more comfortable sitting with her and not saying anything, not needing to say a word, just sitting with her on my lap knowing she knows exactly what I am trying to say.

If you desire true answers in life with no interruptions, no lies, no manipulations, or miscommunications than try a day in nature or a quiet room. Make it a new habit and watch as you and God, you and silence, you and the divinity within us all begin to connect and you being to have a clarity you never knew was available to you before.

Shhhhh........

Einstein, Carlin, and Rumi all Rolled Into One!!!

I think God is Einstein, George Carlin, and Rumi all rolled into one! Well not literally because I don't really believe in one supreme being but if I did that is definitely who I'd think him to be! Einstein may have figured out some very important stuff about gravity and what not but his most inspiring wisdom came out in his personal quotes about people and life.

If our parents raised us to look up to Einstein instead of turning on Saturday morning cartoons and shoving candy cereal down our throats we'd be a much less dysfunctional society. And forget needing to go to church when you had guys like George Carlin to look up to. I saw the man perform in Vegas one time. I sat in the back with my friends and we were laughing our asses off all while having mini epiphanies over the stuff he was saying! Yet no one was laughing. I think the republican convention was in town that day! We made sure we laughed and cheered louder so he felt supported. It takes a big man to feel confident enough to get up on stage and speak your truth. If more people had the inner security to speak their truth in the face of adversity we would be a much more authentic society.

Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, a.k.a. Rumi, now he was one mystic to look up to. Rumi knew just what to say, how to say, and made you think and feel it all at the same time. The first time I read a Rumi poem I read it over and over and suddenly BAM! It hit me! He made poetic sense in the most spiritual romantic loving blunt way a person could.

I could quote Rumi all day long! "Out beyond the field of wrong doing and right doing...there is a field...I will meet you there!" Needless to say if you take the genius common sense wit from Einstein, the sarcastic blunt truth spoken from George Carlin, and the poetic mystical Rumi and rolled them all into one you would have the equivalent of a God! Shoot I'd even vote him for president!

I pray that our future spawns more real, authentic, motivational, inspirational, leaders our children can look up to! If we could strive to find our own inner wisdom like these men we'd have created heaven on earth! Now that is a healthy goal to reach for!

What Is The Cure For Loneliness?

As the winter months approach and the cold weather is upon us there is a natural desire for cozy comfort. It's chilly outside and the fireplace is blazing, you have the coziest blanket in the house wrapped around you, and a nice warm cup of hot cocoa but something is missing. You suddenly feel very lonely. The dreary weather brings you down lower and you decide to indulge in a book. When you tire of the book you realize that you are insanely bored and you feel even lonelier. So you call up some friends and ask them to go out. The evening is eventful you meet a lot of interesting people but when the night ends you head home and again you feel very lonely. Actually when you start thinking about it you were feeling lonely even when you were sitting at the table with your friends. Looking back you realize that you feel lonely all the time it doesn't matter who is around. It's time to suck it up and find a partner. Maybe a blind date or an internet dating site. You search the personals and you go on a few dates and you meet up with someone for coffee.
Wow you click! It's awesome! This person is good looking, has a great job, likes the same music you do, and even seems to care about their health. You decide to go on a few more dates and the honeymoon period begins. Life is Grand! Is this the cure for loneliness? You found someone else who was just as lonely as you and now you have each other and your sitting in front of the fireplace with your warm blanket and hot cup of cocoa and something is missing. You suddenly feel very lonely.
I read a story once about a hunter lost in the forest. He was lost for days and days and was becoming hungry and scared. All the hunter wanted was to find someone. After four days of being lost and having no food the hunter found someone and he became so ecstatic. The other guy asked why he was so excited and he told him that he was lost and all he prayed for was to find someone. Coincidentally the other guy was lost too and was hoping for days to find someone. Hmmmm sounds really familiar doesn't it? On that note I doubt that the cure for loneliness has anything to do with finding the perfect partner.
In truth the only real cure for loneliness is embracing it and realizing that we will always be alone. There is nothing wrong with being alone. When a person is alone they have no one else's drama or issues interfering with their life. A partner may seem to solve the problem but you will never get over loneliness until you are comfortable being alone. It's kind of like saying if you learn to like something it can not hurt you anymore. If you teach yourself how to do math it won't be painful to do it anymore. If you are scared to jump out of a plane and do it you no longer have the fear to jump out of the plane anymore.
Embrace the thing that scares you the most, that causes you the pain and suddenly you have the cure. It works with everything. It all depends on your own personal perspective. If you go into it by saying I am going to get over my issue of eating vegetables with the perspective that you are forcing yourself to do something you just do not want to do than you can pretty much be sure that you will have a life long hatred of vegetables. But if you go into it with the perspective that you wish you really liked vegetables more and you will do your best try a few everyday and not give up more likely you have cured your issue of not eating your veggies. Doesn't hurt to try? At least with the right perspective.
So how do you cure loneliness. Stop being lonely! Love the time you have with yourself. Let the anxiety of being alone go and enjoy it! Believe it or not it really will go away! Actually if you can embrace loneliness it will make being with another person much easier because if it doesn't work out you will not have the fear of being alone.

"Only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core into the other person -- without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without creating "the other," reducing the other into a thing, and without becoming addicted with the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other." ~Osho

Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

Benjamin Franklin may have been onto something when he said, "Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it". It is one thing to be confident in ones wisdom it's another to think one is so wise they have nothing left to learn. Friend, if you had nothing left to learn your energy would be vibrating so high you would not even need to be of this world anymore. So lets just say if your still here then you have lot's to learn!
The universe teaches us in every single thing that plays out in front of us. There are hidden messages in numbers, geometry, words spoken off in the distance, the birds singing, the annoying dog barking at the house next door. There is never a given moment when you can not walk away after something is brought to your awareness with out taking away more knowledge. But wait. You have constant opportunities to gain knowledge! Why can't you just go to the library and gain more knowledge? Maybe study all the famous guru's of the world or live under the word of God and the Bible? Surely you will be a wise man if you study the word of the wise. Right?
You are not a wise one until you let go of your ego, walk in with your wisdom with your bare feet, and live your wisdom and not push it upon others and even then you are never so wise that you can not gain more wisdom. As humans we use very little of our brains. If we have all this space available we must have plenty to learn! So the next time you think you are more right than the next person maybe you should stop and question your wisdom because yes you may possibly be correct in this situation but more than likely you still have plenty you can learn from it and it may just be that you merely need to learn to let go of your ego and open your mind. Wise men never shut the doors to their mind they keep it wide open allowing the old to leave when the new has arrived.
Albert Einstein is known to the world as a true genius but he understood that true knowledge did not come from books and studying he has been quotes as saying, "Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school" and "A true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination". In order to be a truly wise man we must open our minds and let go of what we "know" and allow the space to be filled with what is waiting for us to learn! As you grow and learn be sure to keep the door wide open so that new ideas are free to enter as the old ones exit! An open mind is the key to a truly wise man!

Do Not Mistake Spiritualism for Escapism

Religion, spiritualism, drugs, alcohol, people, food, exercise or whatever your "thing" may be do not mistake them for your personal "crutch". Often we unconsciously turn to these things to fill a void within ourselves that we just can not pin point or to help us through a time when we feel lost and helpless. It's one thing to reach out for a helping hand now and again but its another to put all your weight into it and use it as a means to escape dealing with the real issue.
Religion is often looked up on as a safe place when you have no where else to go. God will always be there. Jesus saves us all! God forgives! Ask and you shall receive. But your trading one problem for another. We are dealt hard hands for a reason. Life forces us to see our flaws and the flaws of the world so that we are challenged to grow. You can not know your strength unless you are forced to lift the heavy weight with your own bare hands.
Spiritualism is not the same as religion. Spiritualism is for those who believe in more than just a God that will solve all our problems. With Spiritualism there is a sense of not belonging here when enlightenment has been reached or when a true sense of knowingness occurs. Some tend to reach further and further to things out of this world. A place they call home. A place not here on this planet. If this is true or not we were still born of this world with earthly human challenges for a reason. We still have dramas to play out if not for our consciousness than for the consciousness of others on this planet. When we choose escapism of any form we are not helping our planet evolve we are standing still. If you feel your religion gives you the answer that fits you than that is wonderful but when life deals you challenges and you see bad things happen all around you do not look to a God to solve your problems walk out your front door and make a difference.
If you feel this planet is not your home and choose to be lost in space in order to not deal with this worlds issues you need to rethink your theory and remember you chose to be here now in this time of great shifts. Escapism is just trading one thing for another and no solution ever occurs. It is not solving any problems. It is not helping humanity. It is not nurturing you. It is sweeping the pain under the carpet because you are to weak and feeble to deal with it all by yourself.
If you are reading this post take a few seconds and think about what your personal crutch may be. Has it solved all your worries and problems for you? When you pick up the phone or sit and talk with it does it give you the answers you are looking for? When the euphoric affect of it wears off has all the pain subsided and all your problems magically melted away? No? Why not? You mean they are still there? So what did you get out of it? You wasted precious time in your life. You extended the suffering and possibly complicated it and made it worse. All in all if you choose to get rid of your crutch or not it is all meant to be BUT if you are worried about pain and suffering wouldn't it be more pain free to deal with things and be done with it than sweeping it under the carpet only to be there nagging at you and never going away?

The simplest way to live life is to go with the flow and not fight life's challenges. Instead conquer them as they are handed to you. Face your problems head on and then go on to the next challenge. Master one thing before moving onto another. When you see problems that are not yours have compassion for them. Appreciate they are part of our planets evolution and needs to happen even if it hurts to witness it. Fight your own battles and send love and support to those who need it. Lose the escapism its just a dream that loses all meaning once you come back to reality. Spend some time reflecting on your escape route and ask yourself if you really need to be escaping of if you need to be fighting the battle in front of you.

You Are The Slave and The Master

Some say we live in the land of the free. We weren't always free and many of us still are not free at all. We are slaves to society, to work, to reaching the American Dream, to our families, to our significant others, to our projects and commitments. We are slaves and our minds are our masters. The irony is if we are our own master are we truly slaves?
Take the time to think about something that makes you feel enslaved. Something you feel trapped into doing and there is no way out of it. Is there really no way out of it or are there other conditions and arrangements that depend on you to keep you enslaved? A lot of times you pay the price for one convenience over another. Maybe you feel as though you are a slave and trapped by your own emotions. Do your emotions good or bad control you?
If we do not want to be enslaved by something, anything, than we need to dig beneath the surface and see the true source of that enslavement. Once you realize that you yourself hold the key to your freedom you will feel the true meaning of free. Remember you are your own master you control your own fate.
Be free!

Never Sweep The Stars Under The Carpet!

Stars are bright! That's stating the obvious but what about those that you unconsciously just sweep away under the carpet? In life we tend to not want to see the light when its blinding us. People who are here to teach us come in many forms. Sometimes its that one friend who seriously annoys you and you just do not know how to let them go. Other times it's a person who poses a more serious problem like your mother in law or your child. These stars do not look like stars to you but they shine so bright that they blind you and all you want to do is sweep them under the carpet and not deal with them. All stars show you the way. Light can be conveniently disguised in the middle of darkness. We draw challenging people and situations into our lives to show us the way home. These people are part of our solar system they are our stars! Take two seconds and think to yourself who in my life do I just not want to deal with right now? It could be someone from the past that you allow to annoyingly nag at the back of your mind but you never really take the time to think about. Who is that person you are avoiding that is showing you the way? Keep in mind that our universe is very big and just because we sweep the stars under the carpet they are still there! Maybe it's time to do a little spring cleaning. Once you take care of the things you desire the least an immense weight will be lifted off your shoulders and a magic elevator will come out of the sky and transport you to the next level of consciousness. Well not literally but you will definitely feel the shift to a brighter you!
I would love to hear which stars you swept under your carpet! Do share maybe that's all it will take to let them light your way again!
Reflection time!
