Beloved,

In deed embracing the Truth of knowing that when transitioning from mortality to immortality, has a way of calming the heart in the transition of loved ones as well as for self is very powerful. Fear, doubt and worry become illusions that must take a back seat. To mourn is natural to mortal beings yet joy and peace seems to even overshadow the gripping pain of loss that never wants to move into a healing position!

Rev. Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari

“Nature is forever giving us chance after chance at what we call rebirth and death, and we, in our folly, in our fear of death, fail to understand that which represents a new journey, a new page on which to write, and thus to believe in a new beginning of ourselves….. The truth is that my body has come to existence, and that it will cease to exist. I am eternal.”

Peace and Love,

Beloved,

There is a saying that you should never judge a book by its cover. One never knows what’s inside until it is opened and understood. So it is with everything in nature. Being mindful of our planet and every thing that has been given to us to enjoy is truly an honor and a responsibility of all!

Rabindranath Tagore:

“Do we still not know the appearance of a seed is in direct contradiction to its true nature? If you submit the seed to a chemical analysis, you would find in it perhaps some carbon, proteins, and many other things, but never the hint of the leaf of a tree.”

Just a thought,

Beloved,

It is blessing to live and not just exist in this world we are passing through. It is a blessing to be a beneficial presence while here and enjoying all that is. May your energy give someone hope, a smile to brighten their day and joy even in the midst of sorrow. May peace surround you and may you live in prosperity of health wealth and love. There are times in life when it’s so wonderful there are not enough words to express all that is within. May this be the season you’re in. As Dr. Wayne Dyer says “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change”! I say Yes!!!!

“The Universe is the energy of the soul; and from this energy comes life,  Consciousness, and the elements. The Universe is the will of the soul; and from this will comes the law of cause and effect. From the soul one become many; but in the soul many are one”!

Mundaka Upanishad

Beloved,

Recently we had the most profound experience that restored my faith in humanity. I always get a little anxious when visiting foreign lands when I do not know the language. Sometimes I’m anxious about being understood and understanding at the same time. Recently while in Japan at the right time, to see the Cherry blossoms was magnificent. Getting to the park without a guide was an experience that truly changed my view!!! A beautiful woman that was retired , who knew very very little English not only took us to the park, shared her meal, bought us drinks, stayed with us and took us back to the bus stop to board our ship some 3 hours later. Not knowing how to speak Japanese at all, was not a problem as Spirit To spirit we communicated greater than any spoken words. I wept with thankfulness and joy as I saw The Spirit within her, the culture and the land. It made me take note of how here in my homeland to slow down, help someone that may need help in their strange land and to know that Spirit is always moving us in the right direction. Listen, hear and adhere when Spirit is speaking and moving in others and in you!

“The energy in the world flows from God at the centre, and back to God. The sages See life as a wheel, with each individual going round and round through birth and death. Individuals remain on this wheel so long as they believe themselves to be separate; but once they realize their unity with God, then they break free.”

Svetasvatara Upanishad

And So It Is,

Brenda D. Cooper

Beloved,

I’m understanding more and more that this journey through life is truly what we make it, how we speak it into existence and how we see ourselves within it. Seeing the world through someone else’s eyes can be good, but when you see it through your own eyes, the Soul Awakens to deeper depths and higher heights. We love traveling and the more we do it the more I embrace the wisdom of India’s Masters.

A continual allusion of separation and better than mentality only shows how small the mind really is.

“One drop of the sea can not claim to come from one river, and another drop of the sea from another river; the sea is a single consistent whole. In the same way all beings are one; there is no being that does not come from the soul, and is not part of the soul.”
