Looking within!

In the course of life it is not uncommon to sometimes loose our way.  Even the greatest of saints or prophets have sometimes struggled within the material world.   Life in the material world can be the greatest of challenges,  yet it can also provide the greatest rewards.  We must look within if we are to find our way.  Our physical and spiritual lives are not separate, rather they are one and the same.  If we look only outward, the material world may mislead us, but by looking within through what some call mediation, or others call contemplative prayer, we may gain a greater clarity of who we truly are, our purpose in life and the best path forward.   Humanity loves its material institutions, its churches and temples and mosques, but they are only vague reflections of what we experience when we look within.  Prayer, contemplation, meditation, are tools to aid us looking within, but the greatest of the prophets, saints and teachers have become great, only by looking within.  In the end, we must find the greater peace within and then manifest it through will and positive desire, outward into our physical lives.    That is the greatest of miracles.

Life is full of surprises!

Life is full of surprises, often at the most unexpected times. Just a couple of hours ago, my much used and loved laptop computer for the past 4.5 years quit on me. Right now it just looks like a power supply, so not so expensive of a repair. Still it gave me pause, as I asked, why now? For every life challenge there is both a lesson and a benefit. It is easy to see the lessons, but sometimes the benefits are a bit more difficult to recognize. I thought, how shall I continue my blog now, just as it was getting started? Then i remembered, the dream, the inspiration. One of my goals is to be able to stop and share inspiration any time an any place that it comes to me. So I remembered that i could also blog from my cellphone.

Amazing isn't it how little setbacks can quickly become blessings as long as we keep our minds and hearts open.

Remember, for every challenge, there is also a blessing. Never give up, never despair. You are child of universe and you are worthy of blessings the universe gives you.

Love, light, joy and peace. I love you! ~ Kuya David

The journey of life through infinity.

Life is an amazing adventure.  A constant journey without end.  Even while the forms and manners of life may change, the journey is constant.  You are alive!  There is nothing but life and the journey that we call life.  While its forms and expressions may change the journey is eternal.  Your journey did not begin when you were born into materiality, that was just one more experience for you to embrace and love.  But you have existed in spirit, long before the earth, moon, sun and stars were formed.  And you will exist after they are gone.  I will tell you again, that God did not create the universe.  God is the universe.  All that we see, know, experience, understand or do not understand is part of creator.  This is the great error of earthly humanity, that you see yourselves as apart from your creator.  You can never be apart from creator because you are eternally part of creator and creator is eternally part of you.  There are infinite ways of being in the circle of life.  No limits, no constraints and only one rule, one law... and that is love.  As the prophets have said, love creator, love all that is creation including yourself and all your spiritual family.  Physical sojourn is but one moment out of an eternal and ever changing experience.   You existed forever before your were "born" into physical matter.  You will exist forever even when you have left material experience behind.  But for now, while in this material experience, embrace it fully, not with fear or trepidation but with love and a great sense of adventure.  You determine your life and how you will experience it.  Nothing is pre-ordained.

Live well my dear family.  For we are part of each other, and part of the a greater universe that physical mind cannot comprehend.  But within, apart from the physical, immersed within your own spirit you may know the truth.  The truth is "You are life!  You are love.  You are the children of the universe, the prodigy of creator and we are all equal for we are formed out of the perfection that is creator.  Again I say, I love you, not only the you that is in this earthly experience but the you that exists in the fullness of the universe, the fullness of creator.   I love you!
