Forgiveness is a complex act, simple in context but complicated. Before I can learn forgiveness: A. I must loose anger. B. I must be willing to except. C. Learn that I am not always right. D. My judgement must be silenced. E. That I don’t enjoy the chaos I create for myself. F. That I must change no matter what, if I want to stay spiritually fit. Now these are not things that are easily conquered in the human experience, or in my own personal experience. It has taken several years to just begin to stop using those unwanted traits. Most of these are wounds that I inflicted on myself, by wanting what is not going to happen or reaching for things that bring fear. I was always running on the fuel of blame because that was the only way for me to justify my behavior to myself. Seeking enlightened values that were presented too me began the journey of realizing that the act of forgiveness was the key to start healing afflictions that I so willingly choose to perpetrate on every thing I touched. This forgiveness, started allowing me to let others in and listening to the message which help in smashing ego, fear, pride, greed, anger, gluttony, jealousy, and lies that I told myself, just a little bit at a time. I know at this moment that I have so far to go and that I fall back into that so familiar place, and that I have to find strength and courage to just stop, and take a breath, ask for help from the Power that is now flowing, and just forgive. What a miracle it was so freely given! Thanks to those who have carried that message to me and continue to carry that message that all I have to do is just forgive, listen, Pray, and give back. Cheap you think? Forgiveness

Peace Out. M

Learning to think with the heart and not the mind. That’s hard to comprehend, because most of us have had our hearts broken. The heart actually tells the brain what it’s mission is, such as you need to breath to bring oxygen to the cells so they can create the electrical charge that regenerates or creates life. Without this process nothing happens, the brain becomes useless because it has no job. There is no conscious thought once the heart stops, there is no relevance for the brain because there are no functions to achieve. My younger brother Jerry was injured in a freak accident that led to all of his organs shutting down and dyeing because of lack of oxygen, all that was left was the brain stem activity, no conscious thought or function. That led me to ask the Doctors, what happens if we take him off life support, and the Doctor said “the rest of the activity will shut down”.
So this has led me to believe that for most of my life I had been using the wrong organ to think with, this thing that creates so many imaginary scenarios has been totally wrong. When I started listening with my heart with the cooperation of my eyes I found a beautiful new world. A world that let love in and shut out fear, a world that had truth of what real value is, a world that had compassion, a world that stilled anger. a world filled with amazement of that of a child, were love is only felt and not promised. What a revelation that my brain was the most incorrect apparatus I had ever listened to. Those stories of how love was absurd, and only felt by the weak, and only said in order to achieve some kind of physical reaction that was encouraged by some other organ or false promise. I found that my heart had always been on a more superior endeavor then the brain ever was. This has been the message of all the spiritual teachers throughout the history of man. That with taking a breath and allow the heart to channel the message and only allow the mind to do it’s real job, which is to just keep the air flowing though.
My you breath sunlight, Enjoy the fragrances of beauty, love thy brothers and sisters and be of service to you and others, by not thinking so damn much.
All of you have taught me this journey!
