Like the Sun

"When love hurts you or goes away, you have a choice. You can become upset and chase after it- or you can remain calm and serene while you think, What do I need to learn from what I'm feeling right now?
Even though love's emotional expression may change from time to time, the existence of love won't. Love is a constant, no matter what form it takes in your life. Just as the sun rises and sets, so too does love come and go. And, like the sun, love will always reappear."

Hearts....From Heaven's Letters....

Often I say to you, "Use your heart. Follow your heart. Your beautiful heart." What does it mean to follow your beautiful heart?
It means to let go of thinking. I am not telling you to never think. Of course, you think. You have a mind for a reason. Only the mind has become predominant. So downplay your mind. When you always follow your mind, then you are reacting to the past and looking to the future. You are figuring something out. You are placing your bets. You brain, like a computer, assembles information and makes something of it. Information is always from the past. Even if you just receive the information, your mind is already assembling it, cranking it out like a slot machine, trying to make three apples come up together.
The brain, like a computer, cannot be spontaneous. It can only follow or react to what has been programmed into it. The brain sees what is directly before it but immediately incorporates it into the past or a projected future. The brain sums up. It calculates. It categorizes. It tells you, based on past records, what it considers most opportune for you to do in order to get results. The brain is always flipping through the past. It files things in categories. It keeps adding. The files bulge. They get so crowded you almost can't think anymore. The thinking mind, beloveds, is not always reliable. Judgment is not reliable. The heart is reliably a heart. Hearts are made of gold, beloveds.
You may say, "But, God, the heart is not always reliable either. I've made mistake after mistake with my heart. I've even made a fool of myself with my heart. Experience has taught me I must use my mind over my heart."
When you say you make mistakes with your heart, you are saying you don't always get the results you want. You don't with your brain either. Sometimes your mind is too smart for its own good. The mind means to look out for your best interest, only it doesn't always know what your best interest is. Outsmarting is not always smart.
What if your heart weren't looking for results? What if your heart simply beat the tune it beats. What if your heart simply adores what it adores without thought of a future, without thought of what someone else may think, without thought of return, without thought of gain, simply without thought. What if your heart were allowed to say what it feels and to be what it is.
If you still feel that mind is more reliable than your heart, consider then that your heart is a mind. Certainly, your heart has a mind of its own.
Will you at least concede that your heart knows a lot? It knows without knowing why. It knows it wants to make music, or it wants to paint. Your heart knows what makes it happy. Your mind may be well-intentioned, yet it can only come from a distance whereas the heart is immediate. The heart is wise because it does not think. So what if your heart is not clever. I tell you to have a heart.
I don't tell you to be mawkish. I don't tell you to be sentimental. I tell you to use your heart.
You know, there is a right tool for everything. You don't use a hammer when you need a screwdriver.
Your mind will tell you whom you can love, for instance, and whom you may not. Your heart tells you a different story. Your heart tells you what is happening now. Beloveds, minds do not marry, but hearts can. Hearts do.

Project Peace

PEACE

Providing Everyone A Complete Existence.

It's time to trust my insticts, close my eyes, and leap.

I am creating the possibility for myself and my life to be standing powerfully for love and peace in the world.

And, that's that. It is what it is.

Life

Life is meaningless, and I couldn't be happier.

Now I understand

For me, it was a reason to go with in and reflect upon the most painful things in my existence.

For him, it was an easy out.

Now I understand, and it flies away, light and free as a sparkling dragonfly. It will fly free and spirited, perhaps to come around again, perhaps to fly free forever. It doesn't matter. I am no longer trapped.

Perception

I feel a lot of suffering comes from an individual’s perception of an event. A shift in perception or perhaps seeing it from another’s eyes can sometimes help to alleviate pain.

For many years, I chose to believe the one opinion that was detrimental to my own well-being and what is not the truth. If many told me I was talented, I’d believe the one person that told me I was not. If many told me I was beautiful, I’d believe the one person who told me I wasn’t attractive enough for him. If many told me I was helpful, I’d believe the one person who said I was disruptive.

Logically and statistically speaking, this is ridiculous. If 9/10 doctors approve it, generally the public accepts it. If 9/10 people say something great about me, why do I believe the one who doesn’t to be the correct answer. What matters is how I feel about myself, and shifting my perception of events, people, and relationships has helped tremendously.

Sometimes, all it takes is a shift. Turn around and look the other direction. It might be so in your face, so clear to see you can’t believe you didn’t see it before. That’s what happened to me.

Fun Fact of the Day

The bones of a human body contain more than a pound of phosphorus. That is enough for 2,000 match heads.
