You have no right

If those who claim to represent the One God cannot hold all life as precious, as belonging to the One God and to no other….then such persons have no right to claim any God given authority in their life. The taking of any life, on whatever pretext or excuse, is not a duty or priviledge available to other human beings. The One God is perfectly capable of dealing with such issues without human interference and hypocrisy. No such organisations/religious sects have earned the right to continue to exist.

inactivity kills

It is not enough to

TALK

about what is wrong in this world

 

and not be DOING anything

 

to help put it right.

 

we are creatures of energy, energy is not static

it needs to be creating

it needs to be DOING

or it implodes.

Gift to self

 “Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”

“It would belong to me because I bought the gift.”

The Buddha smiled and said “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, than the anger falls back on you. You are the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”


(ps. it also applies with racial prejudice, religious intolerance, in fact almost all of the things that have their manifestation in some form of anger).

all that glitters is not gold….

But in this case the shiny golden looking thermal wraps embrace immigrants rescued from the Mediterranean. In this case the great human (godlike) attribute of overwhelming compassion

is what wraps these desperate people.

all that glitters is not gold

The really great thing here is that all the arguments about religions, politics,wars, rights and wrongs – all have been subjugated in favour of the most important reason of all – saving human life.

The rest of the prattle,waffle and arguments can come later…for now, the priority is rescue, saving life.

Here lies the greatest challenge to the major religions and religio/politico powers in this world. Here is the yardstick by which your integrity and understanding of the One God shall be measured:   when you place the God-given preciousness of life above all else, then, and only then, can you claim to have heard the voice of God, the voice of humanity, the voice of decency.

Spotlight on “Spotlight”

For those readers who are still trying to understand the exact nature of the self-destructive pathology of the Catholic Church (one of uinnumerable ‘religious’ mutlinational orgs) in relation to Paedophile scandals, this superb factual film dramatisation will help.

Let me be clear, it is not my purpose to try and destroy or attack anyone’s faith in God. I will, however, continue to attack those who, by manipulation,fraud and  with criminal intent, seek to lessen the message of unconditional love which I see as the primary catalyst in all the major religions.

some lights never dim

“Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all.

 

It doesn’t belong to any particular religion;

 

It belongs to everyone”.

A champion of truth.

Video game religions

I have a lot of trouble understanding people whose ‘god’ seems to be some guy who is playing a vicious ‘shoot em up’ video game with humanity.

in being yourself

“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.” The Upanishads.

Even a flower knows this....and we see with what exquisite beauty and generosity of spirit a flower shares it's magnificence - without requiring reward other than simply being itself.

it is always the children…Lahore

lahore park bombLahore park

who pay the most for the stupidity and downright criminality of misguided adults. Wasn’t Peshawar, wasn’t Beslan enough of a lesson? Don’t you realise that such atrocities simply alienate more people from you?

The loving hearts of people everywhere, irrespective of race or religion, reach out to the families,friends and peoples of Lahore at this tragic time.
