Finding Love

Photobucket

Om Mani Padme Hum


Looking for love


In all the wrong places…

Sex, drugs, alcohol…

Looking for love…

Please, “hear” me

These are cries

To “feel” loved

Simple

These things are

Only my sweet one seeking love,

The love the holy child felt

As it abided in its truth…

Home…

One with abba

All that is…

Yet birthed into earth

This holy child was

Lost, alone

Confused…

So,

The journey that keeps your forever

Looking for love

outside of you

Will in time

Bring you to your knees

And

Then

in that magical

Moment

You will seek for ME

Within….

Then,

The old ways of seeking love

Will start to fall away

As toys outgrown…

Put in a closet

For the next newborn child…

And the journey home

Begins now…

Allow your cracks,

All your wonderings

Allow your moment when

You look at the world of illusion

And say

“nothing here could possibly be real”

Except the love

That I know I feel within me…

I am seeking to find a mirror

That reflects it

Outside of me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, then and only then

Do you start the journey

Where eventually you will

Come to “know”

That outside will never

Bring you what

Lies within….

And

You accept this….

Yes

Accepting this

allows you to drop the world

And choose only for

Our

Holiest union……….

Be at peace my

Sweet holy child

The True Sound of Truth (Love)

An old story speaks of finding truth(love).

A devoted meditator, after years concentrating on a particular mantra, had attained enough insight to begin teaching. The student's humility was far from perfect, but the teachers at the monastery were not worried.

A few years of successful teaching left the meditator with no thoughts about learning from anyone; but upon hearing about a famous hermit living nearby, the opportunity was too exciting to be passed up.

The hermit lived alone on an island at the middle of a lake, so the meditator hired a man with a boat to row across to the island. The meditator was very respectful of the old hermit. As they shared some tea made with herbs the meditator asked him about his spiritual practice. The old man said he had no spiritual practice, except for a mantra which he repeated all the time to himself. The meditator was pleased: the hermit was using the same mantra he used himself -- but when the hermit spoke the mantra aloud, the meditator was horrified!

"What's wrong?" asked the hermit.

"I don't know what to say. I'm afraid you've wasted your whole life! You are pronouncing the mantra incorrectly!"

"Oh, Dear! That is terrible. How should I say it?"

The meditator gave the correct pronunciation, and the old hermit was very grateful, asking to be left alone so he could get started right away. On the way back across the lake the meditator, now confirmed as an accomplished teacher, was pondering the sad fate of the hermit.

"It's so fortunate that I came along. At least he will have a little time to practice correctly before he dies." Just then, the meditator noticed that the boatman was looking quite shocked, and turned to see the hermit standing respectfully on the water, next to the boat.

"Excuse me, please. I hate to bother you, but I've forgotten the correct pronunciation again. Would you please repeat it for me?"

"You obviously don't need it," stammered the meditator; but the old man persisted in his polite request until the meditator relented and told him again the way he thought the mantra should be pronounced.

The old hermit was saying the mantra very carefully, slowly, over and over, as he walked across the surface of the water back to the island.
