“Narada defines bhakti as ‘intense love’ for God.” When I honestly look at the adherents of most religions, love is not in them. How can there be so much hate in those who proclaim they have a special relationship with god. Of course, it is impossible; if there is not love, then there is not…

All of the competing organized religions argue and cajole you into believing that they have the perfect vision of god. And once they have gotten your attention and appealed to the natural “god-sense” within your heart, they start demanding that you participate in weird and unifying rituals to strengthen the spiritual sense of the group….

“Why do we the Human have such a compelling need to rip the veil so as to know ourselves and to see our Divine nature?” I wrote the words above on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, I was introduced to the “Vision of Hermes. What was so amazing is that it is the same “vision” as…

God is a fraud, a great imagining of the mind, in need of creating a comforting story of what happens to us when we die. We are frauds, when we proclaim that we know god. That god speaks to us. That god loves us. That god has chosen us or elected us. Where is the…

Matthew 3: 11-12 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.

Hands and feet pierced and bloody,a body scourged and bruised,bound to a cross.A “Man of Sorrows” you truly are. My Lord and God, lift up your head,and see past…

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: The Human, as part of his|her created identity, are forever moving, forever seeking, forever attempting to know. The Human hates stillness; the Human hates passivity and rest, both physically and within the mind and soul….

I once looked upon the world with the light of my eyes; I have now perceived the One, the All. The warmth and light drawing me to itself, so that my spiritual eye sees that One point of being within myself. There is no longing within me that approximates the call of my heart, the…

So I was quite startled this morning when I started to chant a mantra. This is something I have never done. What was more disconcerting was the form of the mantra that my lips were speaking. It was “I Am.” Monkey boy said to me, as my lips repeated the mantra, you cannot have “I…
