Day One of a solo road trip from Southern California to Washington state … LOTS of meditative time :-). Today I will be meditating on these concepts:
“The sorcery and charm of imagination, and the power it gives to the individual to transform his world into a new world of order and delight, makes it one of the most treasured of all human capacities.”
– Frank Barron
~~~~~~~
“You create your own universe as you go along. The stronger your imagination, the more variegated your universe. When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.”
– Winston Churchill
~~~~~~~
“What feeling, knowledge or will man has depends in the last resort upon what imagination he has.”
– Søren Kierkegaard
~ AND finally~
“Do not quench you inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.”
– Vincent Van Gogh

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.

My words to meditate on for today; regarding intuition and creativity:
“A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.”
– Lao Tzu
~~~~~~~
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.”
– Joseph Campbell
~~~~~~~
“It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my Intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It’s my partner.”
– Jonas Salk
