Excerpt from A Course in Miracles on Self
NOTHING BEYOND YOURSELF CAN MAKE YOU FEARFUL OR LOVING, BECAUSE NOTHING IS BEYOND YOU.
SEEK NOT OUTSIDE YOURSELF. THE SEARCH IMPLIES YOU ARE NOT WHOLE WITHIN.
THERE IS NOTHING OUTSIDE OF YOU. THAT IS WHAT YOU MUST ULTIMATELY LEARN.
DEEP WITHIN YOU IS EVERYTHING THAT IS PERFECT, READY TO RADIATE THROUGH YOU AND INTO THE WORLD.
IN YOU IS ALL OF HEAVEN.
NOTHING YOU DO OR THINK OR WISH OR MAKE IS NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH YOUR WORTH.
LIGHT AND JOY AND PEACE ABIDE IN YOU.
"I AM AS GOD CREATED ME."
THIS ONE THOUGHT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO SAVE YOU AND THE WORLD IF YOU BELIEVED THAT IT IS TRUE.

Attitude of Gratitude
It could be a mother, a father, a sister, a child, a grandchild, or even a complete stranger….who in a small moment made you smile. Or perhaps, they love you UNCONDITIONALLY, without judgment, without blame. Someone in your life has stood by you, when you yourself wanted to escape your own body…..Or maybe a child even taught you a great lesson on forgiveness by smiling at you not long after you have scolded them for some type of wrong doing….JUST GIVE THANKS!It doesn’t have to be some long drawn out process, and it shouldn’t be put off to a moment where you feel you have the “time.” NOW is the time to email, or call, or even text (there is really no reason this can’t happen) someone in your life to tell them THANK YOU not just for the impact they have had on your life, but also for the impact they have had on the world. Their selflessness has made both you and others better……isn’t that a great reason to tell them so? Even if you must resort to leaving them a message because they did not pick up the phone, do not MISS this opportunity to tell them THANK YOU!And don’t just stop at people who have done good in your life, perhaps a friend upset you, or you and a spouse or family member even had a disagreement - or you never see eye to eye, instead of focusing on the bad, and the past - use this holiday to make yourself better and realize that without that particular lesson there would have been no growth…..and so shouldn’t you be THANKFUL?Do not stress on lack, and all of the many things you do not have yet. Remember the very things you now have were once the things you had only dreamt of having, and so be THANKFUL! I myself am THANKFUL (for this and so many other things) that you have chosen to participate in this holiday, and even in reading these daily messages that I hope motivate you as much as they motivate me to have better days, and to be better, more THANKFUL than yesterday. In participating in this exercise, you will bring more peace, joy, and happiness than before into your life because you are now consciously aware of the many things that you are THANKFUL for. However, do not have an ulterior motive - no, rather be pure in the reasons why you are THANKFUL.
So now that you have had a moment to reflect, what are you waiting for? It’s time to wake the world up in THANKS!
Here’s wishing you an EXTRAORDINARY day!

MEDITATION IN ATLANTA on 7/2
namaste.
Never Give Up
He arrived with his usual props. A cigar, a cane and a top hat accompanied Churchill wherever he went. As Churchill approached the podium, the crowd rose in appreciative applause. With unmatched dignity, he settled the crowd and stood confident before his admirers. Removing the cigar and carefully placing the top hat on the podium, Churchill gazed at his waiting audience. Authority rang in Churchill's voice as he shouted, "Never give up!"
Several seconds passed before he rose to his toes and repeated: "Never give up!" His words thundered in their ears. There was a deafening silence as Churchill reached for his hat and cigar, steadied himself with his cane and left the platform. His commencement address was finished.
Choices
Did you know that Happiness & Misery are both choices? For so long while I was growing up, I just thought that with JOY came pain. I figured it was automatic, and really no way of escaping it. Anytime I felt “depressed”, or “hurt” , or “sad”…. I would say to myself that I HAD to allow it to run it’s course. I really battled with this self inflicted reality after I lost my son as a teenager. After his death, I just figured that I was “cursed” the remainder of my life to think of “what could have been.” I remember on his 1st birthday after his death, I was “automatically ” sad. I woke up that morning PREPARING to mourn. Later that night my grandmother asked if I wanted to go to a social with her at church and I gave the excuse that “it was my son’s birthday” figuring that she would understand that I HAD TO BE SAD because I HAD TO MOURN over his death. My Nana’s reply was “WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE COST OF TEA IN CHINA?” And I grew so angry with her for not understanding. She herself had lost a baby at the same age as I, so I figured if anyone knew my “pain” it would surely be her! Right?
So I spent many years sad on February 22. DECIDING that that day would be MY day to be “sad” NO MATTER HOW I TRULY FELT! It has took a while to understand that I DECIDED to be miserable. Mind you, I am by no means saying I should be blissful for my son’s death, but what has happened has happened, and the past can not be replayed…so why hold on to the guilt and the pain and the hurt? (I thought this was my “burden”) Makes no sense. There is good in every lesson, in EVERY situation if you would just be willing to open your eyes and LOOK, TRULY LOOK at what lies in front of you.
Reflecting BRIEFLY on my past, I can truly say that I am THANKFUL to have been pulled through that situation. The path that I was set upon after my son’s death would never have been revealed to me had it not happened. I learned strength and compassion. I learned TRUTH & LIGHT! I MET SOME OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. My best friends all came into my life AFTER my son’s death. Keya, Ivy, Stephanie, Erik and Jamicah! I HAVE HAD SOME OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES ANYONE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR including BEING MY SON’S MOTHER however brief it may have been. I honestly could not be any happier, any more blissful, or anymore thankful for my life….and I NOW UNDERSTAND EXACTLY what my Nana was saying to me that night. You see I chose to be angry at her comment believing that she understood that I HAD to be sad and depressed on my son’s birthday because she had lost a child and could UNDERSTAND how I felt……..but because she had lost a child and made a choice OF HAPPINESS…she made a CHOICE OF LIFE AND HOPE AND LOVE AND COMPASSION (and ended up with 7 other children of her own and 1 adopted) she was doing her best to assist me in RE-DECIDING and CHOOSING MY HAPPINESS over MY PAIN!
In the end, I CHOSE HAPPINESS!
It’s never too late to make a NEW decision. I am living proof, and I am thankful!
Here’s wishing you a day of NEW CHOICES!

How Good It Is
I think back to where I was just 2 years ago, when I miserable & successful only according to society's standards. I remember thinking, and even saying to my spiritual sistar as we were just beginning this journey, "I wonder if I will ever be able to experience all of these grand things I'm reading about in these books." She and I actually sat on Monday and reminiscened on how we doubted our own possibilities, but how we are now exactly where we never thought we'd be.
I wonder what two more years, two more months, two more weeks, days, hours, seconds, NOW's will take me??? I give thanks for this journey and for all of the LOVE & peace that I hold inside that can not be shaken. I give thanks for all of those who have RE-connected with me in this realm - to build on this foundation of LOVE. I gove thanks for my guides who have always been there.....I give thanks. So often I find myself in the midst of so much gratitude.
I hope to live up to the purpose behind this incarnation. I hope to live up to LOVE's beauty. I hope to keep re-meeting my family in LOVE.....I hope to always be this thankful and this hopeful and this grand.
And to think, there's room for it to get better....

LOVE for President in 2012
I've decided that I'm writing "LOVE" in the section marked "others" for the 2012 Elections. I can no longer choose to partake in pretending that my vote between the "lesser of two evils" counts, nor will I continue to feed a system that preys on our fear and compliance. this system needs to be starved....and I'm ready to take the stand. I could give a damn of what anyone thinks of me for doing so. I do this for US.
People really must open their eyes to see that this "Change that we all can believe in" is nothing more than fear, death, and the continuous invasion of oil rich foreign countries. How is this ok to support, and how does it go unseen? People have chosen to SEE what they want to see and I CHOOSE TO SEE THE TRUTH.
Obama was GIVEN to us, not elected. Do you not think that the powers that be did not take notice to how mesmerized we were by such a handsome, eloquent, intelligent BLACK MAN. They knew the black culture would defend this man as if he were their own father, brother, or uncle merely because he is the 1st black president...but when will we hold, not only OBAMA but the ENTIRE system accountable for their continuous wrongs against the world.
They speak of terrorism, yet they create the terrorist. This country is run by greedy, blood thirsty dark beings that KNOW they are running out of time. No president has run this country fully since JFK and we all know what happened to him.
JFK was assassinated because he signed Executive Order 11110 (check out the 1111 message) that would have dismantled the Federal Reserve (which is as federal as my socks) and it's control over our monetary system.
Obama, even if he could, cannot take on these people. This is a brotherhood that has been around since the beginning of civilization. It's up to the American People to take a stand for themselves, to raise their vibrations in unity and LOVE. This is where we MUST unite and starve this system to make way for a new system that is NOT built on hoarding riches while the next man suffers. Capitalism is a joke, and we are the brunt of the joke.
When will we say "enough is enough?"
Well, I just did. I hope you will too.

Change
Change is a constant in life. EVOLunion itself is mere change. So why do so many fear the inevitable, change?
Change brings about a sweetness of new airs. A wind that wraps you up and takes you into the arms of a new adventure. Change should be welcomed, not resisted. Change should be accepted, not rejected.
What would this world be like without change? How would we get the lessons to further our growth without change? How would we embark upon new adventures, opportunitis, people, places or things without change?
It is not change that needs to be rearranged, but rather us. If we could only be brave enough to view the way we SEE change, naturally we would approach it in a different manner. Change should not carry a negative connotation.... And thinking you can stop it is simple backwards living.
Just BE. Embrace change and welcome all of the wondrous adventures it is sure to bring your way.
Don't swim upstream - flow, and let change do the rest.
There's a fantastic lesson just waiting to elevate you into a new world.
Here's to change!!!

A Challenge from Seven Is
Make someones day just because.
Who's getting in on this?
SaLusa - BE OPEN.
There had to come a time when more people became aware of the changes in their consciousness levels. That time has arrived and the numbers will continue to grow, as the energies that are being sent to you are increasing in strength. It is the help you are getting to ensure you have every opportunity to reach the optimum level to ascend. You must understand that it is not being forced upon anyone, and it is your decision entirely as to whether you accept. However going with the flow and taking it into yourself is comfortable, and very calming. It will eventually bring about a separation of people into two distinct groups, one that will ascend and those who have rejected the opportunity and chosen a different pathway.
It is also time for more appreciation and attention to your own requirements, as you adapt to the new levels of consciousness that will take you forward. Knowing them is one thing but putting them into practise is another, but by doing so you are also helping the Collective Consciousness to grow. The material realms tend to encourage possessiveness and service to self, whereas if you are to tread the path of Light service to others becomes your natural way forward. It is also establishing a reality that you are creating through your vision. You do in fact have more power in this connection than you may believe. However, as you ascend the growth in your responsibility for your creations comes with it. With a greater level of consciousness you would expect to acquire such an understanding, and your intent is to be in harmony and balance with all life.
Everything else that is going on in your life and around you, is to put right the mistakes and errors that have led to conditions that are unacceptable and belong to the old paradigm. Things must change and the cleansing completed before you can ascend with Mother Earth. As the old disappears so the new is coming in to take its place, and at times it will become quite confusing if not chaotic. Part of the reason is that people find it hard to let go of that which is familiar and comfortable to them. It is why we emphasise the upliftment that comes with the changes and give you details of what to expect. It is also why we speak of a quantum leap forward, as you will effectively benefit from what may otherwise have taken another 100 years to be introduced. We are not of course overlooking the deliberate policy of the Illuminati to deny you advancement, and but for that you would have clearly progressed further into the New Age some 50 years ago. One of the biggest advantages that have been kept from you is free energy, that would have solved so many serious problems you live with today.
Whatever fears some have about our coming, the fact remains that without our help your civilisation would have collapsed long ago. What to us are the simple acts of cleansing the Earth would be beyond you because of the size of the problem. Indeed your efforts to clean up the Gulf Oil problem have only created more problems that could still prove devastating to the environment. Do not however fear the consequences, as we will be with you before it becomes too serious. We only mention these matters, so that you are aware of the how important it is that we arrive on Earth at the earliest possible time. Disclosure is near to happening, and it is becoming difficult for the authorities to hide the truth much longer. The amount of information coming out grows all of the time, and more people are prepared to go public with the knowledge they have.
Almost every day you are hearing something new that appertains to the changes, so you are clearly being given strong indications of the level of activity involving our allies and us. Most of our work is still going on behind the scenes, and it is not yet the time to reveal too many facts regarding our intentions. It is sufficient to say that we have always given you a broad outline, so that you know the direction in which we are heading. The pressures upon the dark Ones are driving them to despair, as they are unable to prevent their ultimate capitulation and surrender to the Light. Yes Dear Ones, we say the Light because it is the power that you have brought to the planet that is breaking down and transmuting the lower vibrations.
Eventually nothing of the old energies will exist, as everything will have been lifted up. Similarly only the souls that have raised their vibrations can take their place in the higher vibrations. It is Universal Law that operates in these circumstances, and it is totally fair and justified through the Divine authority of God. Man’s laws do not always reflect the Light in the way they are handed out, so this is yet another area that must change. As we have indicated previously, as soon as we can those people who have been unjustifiably imprisoned will be released. Death Row will be closed, as the taking of life in retribution for crimes is totally against Universal Law. You might well ask, what happens to the inmates in such circumstances, and we will tell you that they will be rehabilitated until they are fit to take their place again in society. Love can perform miracles as you would call them, and there is not a single soul that would not benefit from its power to bring harmony and balance into being.
Love, and more love is the medicine to cure most ills, and each of you are potential healers. Your reluctance is often caused because you do not have belief in your own abilities. Try healing when the opportunity arises, and remember that you are capable of self-healing. Your beliefs are extremely powerful which is why sometimes you attract to yourself the very things you reject. For example some people are so frightened of getting a serious illness and worry about it so much, that they actually bring it into their being. This is another example of how powerful your thoughts are, and why you need to be careful as to what you focus them onto. By all means concentrate on all that is good and wholesome as it is of benefit to you and everyone else. When you do so en masse the power is increased exponentially, and this is how major changes are brought about. You can now see how your input is so important to the outcome of what is happening on Earth right now.
I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and can assure the Galactic Federation is ready to go full speed ahead when the occasion calls for action.
Thank you SaLuSa.
Mike Quinsey.
LOVE IS - Thank you Tiffany!!!!
Think on a smaller scale, if you enter an argument, defensive & ready to attack, what usually happens? An eruption of confusion, right?
Stamping out fight with fight is a program that needs to be uninstalled asap.
People ARE afraid of LOVE...and it shows
LOVE is NOT weakness. It's the greatest force on EARTH.
To speak negatively on LOVE is to speak ill about yourself and SOURCE.
LOVE IS synonymous with SOURCE because neither contradict ITself...
SOURCE IS as LOVE IS as WE ARE. SEE the connection.
Saying "LOVE hurts" and "I don't want to LOVE anymore" and "I don't LOVE you" is all #BackwardsLiving & shows ignorance to LOVE's Truth
For some strange reason, people think that by NOT LOVING you - they somehow gain strength, but by not LOVING you in essence you reject yourself FIRST
Our very essence is LOVE, being made in the image of a SOURCE that is synonymous with LOVE
So then, it's not LOVE that hurts.....get to the bottom of it. It's NOT LOVE you don't want...get to the bottom of it.
We are a species who are genius at doing everything we can to take the blame off of us..we've created ample 3rd parties to put everything on. Fear is usually the culprit as fear is the opposite of LOVE.
LOVE would never deceive you.....LOVE would never trick you, harm you, beat you, belittle you, reduce you in any way, shape, or form.
Until we fully embrace our essence of LOVE, we will continue to present ourselves in all types of diguises. Fear disguises itself. LOVE IS.
You KNOW when you are being wretched. You KNOW when you are offering fear over LOVE to another. Be honest. Be accountable.
We often say that if someone has a problem with me - it's them NOT me....& sometimes this is true..but sometimes it's an excuse
Sometimes when people have a problem with you - it's because YOU decided to show up branching from fear and not a place of LOVE
It's not always ego against ego. Sometimes it's LOVE - ego.
No more "cop outs"....Accountability is big and can teach you HUGE lessons if you allow it.
Change, Growth, EVOLution, LOVE etc...these things may sometimes scare us because they "force" us to become MORE OURSELVES.
Ultimately, it is US that we are afraid of. We are NOT afraid of the LIGHT, we are afraid of OUR LIGHT.
Even in spiritualism, we've simply renamed that damned "devil" character and used those things as excuses for our own stuff.
An Example. U need help. Someone becomes that vessel. You tell them you didn't need them. In your confusion they get confused. That's YOU - not them
"Conscious" folk...we are not meant to rebuild on this shaky foundation. EVERYTHING MUST GO. We are starting from scratch.
We need to arm ourselves with LOVE and rebuild this world and each other....brick by brick...heart to heart.
It takes LOVE to see pain for what it is, and not personally.
And make no mistake, the more people lose, the more they hurt because everything they thought to be true is questioned.
The days we are in now are simply a call for LOVE in ALL WAYS.
If you are not able to answer your brothers call with LOVE...go back to the lab.
We are all here as infinite pieces to the Divine puzzle...everyone is not able to SEE clearly in all aspects of life.
Some people have sight in some areas, but are blind in others. If you can SEE where they cannot....be their EYE.
If when you attempt to assist someone and they show up as fear instead of LOVE...be their EYE from a distance....but NEVER give up.
YOU should never give up - just restrategize. Someone didn't give up on you - so who are you to give up on somebody else.
Dream someone's dream until they are strong enough to dream it for themselves...even if you must dream from afar - just never stop dreaming
WE are ALL here for each other. To LOVE one another....to enjoy one another.
See the bliss in another and you have certainly seen it in yourself.
When you come in LOVE but are met in fear, VIBRATING HIGHER as to not lower your frequency to match theirs. BE STRONG.
I think I'm gonna have to RT 1 Corinthians AGAIN to remind us of LOVE's power. It's needed in this moment.
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It does NOT ENVY, it does NOT boast, it is NOT PROUD.
5 IT does NOT dishonor others, IT is NOT SELF SEEKING, IT is NOT easily angered, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONG.
6 LOVE does NOT delight in evil but REJOICES with the truth.
7 IT ALWAYS protects, ALWAYS trusts, ALWAYS hopes, ALWAYS perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and LOVE. But the greatest of these is LOVE.
It's a powerful notion that LOVE is greater than FAITH...and it is so because LOVE IS ALL ENCOMPASSING as SOURCE IS.
I have goosebumps.
Do you get it??? If you want to know if you are presenting yourself as LOVE - measure yourself according to that passage....you'll know.
My nana and I always say, whether you believe in religion, the Bible, spiritualism or whatever.If you get 1 Corinthians 1-13 then you GOT IT
It's time to return to LOVE's presence. It's time to remember the LOVE withIN. It's time to illuminate the LOVE EVERYWHERE.
We can't continue to fail each other by withholding LOVE.
LOVE is NOT some sappy, slurpy, sentimentality..... IT is who and what we are. IT is our life force, our being, our push, our pull. IT IS.

REBEL vs. Revolutionary by OSHO <~~dopeness
A revolutionary is part of the political world; his approach is through politics. His understanding is that changing the social structure is enough to change the human being.
A rebel, as I use the term, is a spiritual phenomenon. His approach is absolutely individual. His vision is that if we want to change the society, we have to change the individual. Society in itself does not exist; it is only a word, like "crowd" - if you go to find it, you will not find it anywhere. Wherever you encounter someone, you will encounter an individual. "Society" is only a collective name - just a name, not a reality - with no substance.
The individual has a soul, has a possibility of evolution, of change, of transformation. Hence, the difference is tremendous.
The rebel is the very essence of religion. He brings into the world a change of consciousness - and if the consciousness changes, then the structure of the society is bound to follow it. But vice versa is not the case, and it has been proved by all the revolutions because they have failed.
No revolution has yet succeeded in changing human beings; but it seems we are not aware of the fact. We still go on thinking in terms of revolution, of changing society, of changing the government, of changing the bureaucracy, of changing laws, political systems. Feudalism, capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism - they were all in their own way revolutionary. They all have failed, and failed utterly, because man has remained the same.
We have to be rebels, not revolutionaries. The revolutionary belongs to a very mundane sphere; the rebel and his rebelliousness are sacred. The revolutionary cannot stand alone; he needs a crowd, a political party, a government. He needs power - and power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Human consciousness has not grown for centuries. Only once in a while someone blossoms - but in millions of people, the blossoming of one person is not a rule, it is the exception. And because that person is alone, the crowd cannot tolerate him. His existence becomes a kind of humiliation; his very presence feels insulting because he opens your eyes, makes you aware of your potential and your future. And it hurts your ego that you have done nothing to grow, to be more conscious, to be more loving, more ecstatic, more creative, more silent - to create a beautiful world around you.
Hence a Gautam Buddha or a Chuang Tzu hurts you because they have blossomed and you are just standing there.
The world has known only very few rebels. But now is the time: if humanity proves incapable of producing a large number of rebels, a rebellious spirit, then our days on the earth are numbered. Then the coming decades may become our graveyard. We are coming very close to that point.
We have to change our consciousness, create more meditative energy in the world, create more lovingness. We have to destroy the old - its ugliness, its rotten ideologies, its stupid discriminations, idiotic superstitions - and create a new human being with fresh eyes, with new values. A discontintuity with the past - that's the meaning of rebelliousness.
These three words will help you to understand: reform, revolution, and rebellion.
Reform means a modification. The old remains and you give it a new form, a new shape - it is a kind of renovation to an old building. The original structure remains; you whitewash it, you clean it, you create a few windows, a few new doors.
Revolution goes deeper than reform. The old remains, but more changes are introduced, changes even in its basic structure. You are not only changing its color and opening a few new windows and doors, but perhaps building new stories, taking it higher into the sky. But the old is not destroyed, it remains hidden behind the new; in fact, it remains the very foundation of the new. Revolution is a continuity with the old.
Rebellion is a discontinuity. It is not reform, it is not revolution; it is simply disconnecting yourself from all that is old. The old religions, the old political ideologies, the old human being - all that is old, you disconnect yourself from it. You start life afresh, from scratch.
The revolutionary tries to change the old; the rebel simply comes out of the old, just as a snake slips out of the old skin and never looks back.
The future needs no more revolutions. The future needs a new experiment, which has not been tried yet. Although for thousands of years there have been rebels, they remained alone - individuals. Perhaps the time was not ripe for them. But now the time is not only ripe....if you don't hurry, the time has come to an end. In the coming decades, either mankind will disappear or a new human being with a new vision will appear on the earth. That new human being will be a rebel.
Excerpt from "The Book of Understanding" by OSHO
Excerpt from "The Book of Understanding" by OSHO.
When heart knows, we call it love.
And when being knows, we call it meditation.
Excerpt from "The Book of Understanding" by OSHO.
No religion has been courageous enough to say, "We know this much, but there is much we don't know; perhaps in the future we may know it. And beyond that, there is a space which is going to remain unknowable forever."
A true religion will have the humbleness to admit that only a few things are known, much more is unknown, and something will always remain unknowable. That "something" is the target of the whole spiritual search. You cannot make it an object of knowledge, but you can experience it, you can drink of it, you can have the taste of it - it is existential.
All these religions have been against doubt. They have been really afraid of doubt. Only an impotent intellect can be afraid of doubt; otherwise doubt is a challenge, an opportunity to inquire.
There is doubt, and doubt is not destroyed by believing. Doubt is destroyed by experiencing.
They say, believe. I say, explore. They say, don't doubt; I say, doubt to the very end, till you arrive and know and feel and experience. Then there is no need to repress doubt; it evaporates by itself. Then there is no need for you to believe.
You have to be again innocent, ignorant, not knowing anything, so that the questions can start arising again. Again the inquiry becomes alive, and with the inquiry becoming alive you cannot vegetate. Then life becomes an exploration, an adventure.
Excerpt from "The Book of Understanding" by OSHO.
Excerpt from "The Book of Understanding" by OSHO.
In fact, everybody is unique. If you can stop your constant running after goals for even a single moment, you will realize that you are unique. Your uniqueness is nothing to be invented, it is already there. It is already the case - to be is to be unique. There is no other way of being. Every leaf on a tree is unique, every pebble on the shore is unique, there is no other way of being. You cannot find two identifcal pebbles anywhere on the whole of earth.
Two identical things do not exist at all, so there is no need to be "somebody." You just be yourself, and suddenly you are unique, inconmparable. That's why I say that this is a paradox: those who search fail, and those who don't bother, suddenly attain.
It is said by one of Lao Tzu's great disciples, Lieh Tzu, that once an idiot was searching for fire with a candle in his hand. Said Lieh Tzu: "Had he known what fire was, he could have cooked his rice sooner." He remained hungry the whole night because he was searching for fire but couldn't find it - and he had a candle in his hand, because how can you search in the dark without a candle?
You are searching for uniqueness, and you have it in your hand; if you understand, you can cook your rice sooner. I have cooked my rice and I know. You are unnecessarily hungry - the rice is there, the candle is there, the candle is fire. There is no need to take the candle and search. If you take a candle in your hand and you go searching all over the world, you will not find fire because you don't understand what fire is. Otherwise you could have seen that you were carrying it in your hand.
You need not search for uniqueness, you are unique already. There is no way to make a thing more unique. The words "more unique" are absurd. It is just like the word "circle." Circles exist; there is no such thing as "more circular." That is absurd. A circle is always perfect, "more" is not needed.
There are no degrees of circularity - a circle is a circle, less and more are useless. Uniqueness is uniqueness, less and more don't apply to it. You are already unique. One realizes this only when one is ready to become ordinary, this is the paradox. But if you understand, there is no problem about it, the paradox is there, and beautiful, and no problem exists. A paradox is not a problem. It looks like a problem if you don't understand; if you understand, it is beautiful, a mystery.
Become ordinary and you will become extraordinary; try to become extraordinary and you will remain ordinary.

The Highest Elevation
A familiarity. A knowing. An overstanding. A balance. A LOVE. A greatness. A reciprocity. A moment. A passion. A feeling. A-wareness.
Your existence excites my mind. Your frequency penetrates my core. Your knowledge causes spasms in places untouched. You are beautiful.
I AM a goddess. I've saved you a seat - beside me in paradise. Sit. Let us build. Resurrect in this moment.
I see thru to him. He resides inside of me. Heaven becomes where we are. We ascend into a higher elevation. Being freely. We are gods.
One heart. One soul. One pulse. We can breathe together.
