Every Inch, But One
My words for meditation today:
“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
~~~
“I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An Inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you.”
– Alan Moore; “V for Vendetta”

“Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries.”
– Carl Jung

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.

Soul Eating
Ah, how the “onion” layers progress … the soul/psyche truly is an amazing thing! When you start on the journey of inner work and personal development it is an adventure that never ends … a world that is constantly thrilling to behold as your personal presence and awareness expands and unfolds.

“Shame is a soul eating emotion.”
– Carl Jung
~~~~~~~
“You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame. Yeah, see, they die of shame. ‘What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?’ And so they sit there and they… die. Because they didn’t do the one thing that would save their lives. Thinking.”
– David Mamet

“We do not have to be ashamed of what we are. As sentient beings we have wonderful backgrounds. These backgrounds may not be particularly enlightened or peaceful or intelligent. Nevertheless, we have soil good enough to cultivate; we can plant anything in it.”

What Is Your Worth?
My words for meditation today:
“You all have your own distinct personal backgrounds.
Of course some of you come from rich families, some from poor families. But circumstances beyond your control like that shouldn’t determine who you are.
You must all realize what you’re worth on your own.”
– Koushun Takami
~~~~~~~
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
– Siddhartha Gautama

“The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.”

The Illusion Veil
My words for meditation today:
“It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going. Not consciously, of course—for consciously he is engaged in bewailing and cursing a faithless world that recedes further and further into the distance. Rather, it is an unconscious factor which spins the illusions that veil his world. And what is being spun is a cocoon, which in the end will completely envelop him.”
– Carl Jung

Judge, Jury, and Executioner … of Yourself
The meat of my meditation today:
~~~~~~~
“If someone isn’t what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
~~~~~~~
“Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating.”
~~~~~~~
“The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.”

Fully aligned with the soul
My words to meditate upon today:
~~~~~~~
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
– Carl Jung
~~~~~~~
“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”
– May Sarton
~~~~~~~
“Illusion holds power over you when you are not able to remember that you are a powerful spirit that has taken on the physical experience for the purpose of learning.
It has power over you when you are compelled by wants and impulses and values of your personality.
It holds power over you when you fear and hate and sorrow and fester in anger or strike out in rage.
It has NO power over you when you LOVE, when compassion opens your heart to others, when your creativity flows unimpeded joyously into the present moment.
In other words, the illusion had no power over a personality that is fully aligned with the soul.”
– Gary Zukav

Vision Quester
My words to meditate upon today:
“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
~~~~~~~
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”
– Carl Jung
~~~~~~~
“In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, a day. Some are dreams, some visions. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions. Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person’s vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled.
The spiritual side of life knows everyone’s heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out.
The message is simple: commitment precedes vision.”
