Love Holds no Grievances :-) :-) :-) :-)

This is the thing about Jesus:

Jesus was not attached to himself as a body in any way, shape or form -- he was COMPLETELY identified with himself as Spirit.   This means that the entire world we see was basically as nothing to him his joy came completely from being in the not-knowing space of wanting to understand and perform God's will.  We can learn to identify ENTIRELY with Spirit just like he did/does by listening to the small, still voice within which is begun and continued by meditation and prayer.  I have heard many people say that prayer is talking to God, and meditation is listening to God.   In these times, it has become very difficult to hear anything but TV which is why it is very very helpful to sit in stillness & listen to the voice for love speak and speak with that voice to everyone :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) There are plenty of people who can teach you to meditate -- the Sri Cinmoy people taught me how in 1994 -- you don't have to get involved with their whole culture in order to get started -- a website to find out their teaching schedule is http://www.nycmeditation.org/sri-chinmoy.  The Tibetan Buddhist monks around here give classes on Friday evenings & Saturday & Sunday mornings I believe and here is their website: http://www.kagyu.org/ktd/schedule/ -- the last people I'm thinking of are the yoga people at Kripalu if anyone has the desire to be there for a whole cushy week and their website is http://www.kripalu.org/ :-) :-) :-)  You do not have to get into any of these peoples' culture in order to learn how to meditate from them and I really would like to say that there is A Course In Miracles -- There is so much to say about beliefs and spirituality that it is hard to get one's thoughts posted here & that's why there are A Course in Miracles groups! :-) :-) :-)  Anyway, as is said in Adult Children of Alcoholics Anonymous, Take What You Like and Leave the Rest!  :-) :-) :-)
