Self

Strive to do good, but if you cannot do good, at the least, do no harm

Coram Deo

Every day is a journey and it is the journey itself that is your home

For a moment still your chattering mind

you already know intuitively that the Universe is not a product of ‘nothing into something’

that it is not chaos somehow become organised

It is like This

the energy behind it that many call God is ‘One Thing’, therefore it can only create reality out of itself, otherwise there would be two things, God and Matter, and therefore God would not be God - ok?

So - the Universe is Real but it also at the same time somehow a dream of God, a virtual reality in which something is being played out - our lives, desires and passions are being played out and as long as we sleepwalk through it, emoting rather than seeing, we are trapped within it, causing ripples into the future that tie us and that we cannot escape

Throughout our history enlightened ones have returned, like a person entering your dream at night, to try and wake us up from the dream, to give us the keys -

and we have ignored them

The Universe is real, yet it is not real, yet it is real.

You are part of the same phenomenal universe whether you are ‘enlightened’ or ‘unenlightened’.

Matter does not produce Life, Life produces Matter,

So we are here, we all manifest this and have done so for a very long time.

The Universe is not ‘one thing’, yet it is not ‘more than one thing’ - not one, not two.

And back you come again, again and again and again and again.

Compassion is all - Compassion is the key

The real You behind your chattering mind IS compassion

Good Soul, be light, walk lightly in this world - be joyful, Love.

Be astounded - laugh often! - do no harm

Strive for personal happiness

Result - misery

Strive for happiness for others

Result - happiness

Your life as it is manifested on this world is the result of who you are and what you have done, in this life and in previous lives.

It is you who has created your present life, no one else. You have to live out the repercussions of what you have done and not done but you do not have to be a prisoner to them. You do not have to attach to them.

The You that is Awake knows this.

When you become aware of this, when you watch your chattering mind instead of living it, then compassion will shine through and you will start to do no harm, to be compassionate, to love

And your life and other lives will be improved - in this life and in future lives.

In the 'Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines' it states: "I will become a saviour to all beings, I will release them from all their sufferings." If you do not know Buddhism but this sounds familiar to you, then look to the teachings of the Jewish Bodhisattva Jesus, Yeshua Ben Yosef.
