I guess I’m in a musically epiphanous frame of mind :-). I spent a summer listening to all things Jimi while travelling in Europe; because I wanted to absorb guitar music as a composer. So many spiritual levels to the songs he wrote.
“But they’re all bold as Love … just ask the Axis … He knows everything!”
So sad when you think of the beautiful artists we have lost … I suppose my post on Whitney (“Home – Whitney Houston“) brought this about. So many deep souls who get overwhelmed, and flame out. It’s sad … they devote themselves to the Quest; seeking after what ultimately is God … and just get distracted along the way.
Truthfully though, many of these types of people have been through traumatic experiences in the life, or childhood … please … find people who care for you, and will help you. I did, and it changed my life during those dark passages of my life. There is no shame in it … sometimes we just need help … and sometimes, we get to evolve into the people who get to pass that help along that we once received.
If you need help, seek it out … whether in meditation with God, or if that is beyond you right now … find a person who can help you. Sometimes we just need to get through what we are going through … so that we can fully receive just how incredibly LOVED we are.

Religion4All is an idea: that every human being (no matter their race, religion, sexuality, social status, lifestyle, or any other possible factor) is LOVED by God; just … as … they are.
We all are loved by God, and NO religion or person has a monopoly on it. Every single person on this planet is loved equally by God … SO many are cut off from God because they are told they don’t belong. God loves everyone … we ALL are beautiful creations … we don’t need to cringe when we hear the words “God”, or “religion”, or their judgments … God LOVES us all!
There is no requirement to change in order to be LOVED by God, or to LOVE God. God is LOVE, and LOVE is God … period. There is no one who God loves more than anyone else … there are only those who choose to LOVE more … to love God more, and consequently then to love each other more. In doing so, we grow closer to God … and know God.
By opening our hearts, and minds to God (free of boundaries like religion, or social trends); by LOVING God … we are exactly where we are meant to be. If we maintain that openness, never allowing any person or event to make us close our hearts, we will be guided by God to be who we are meant to be.
In that space of openness we can then live a life of LOVE, and be guided to where we are meant to be … forever in LOVE.

Sound advice. But its not always so easy to find that help.
That is very true, and of course very sad. There should be more people out there to pass that help, and LOVE, along. Still, sometimes help can be found in unusual places, sometimes it comes in ways, or forms, that we don’t even register as “help” … but you are right too, sometimes you are stripped bare and left exposed. There have been times that I have felt that way … it is only in retrospect that I can look back and see the people and instances that helped me then … when I didn’t even know it at the time. In such a case I can only say, “Just keep going, stay alive, because you are LOVED … and it will get better.” God’s love for every one of us is deeper and more profound than any physical manifestation of help could ever be.
