'We want love to be all powerful all the time-we do not offer it the chance to learn, to stumble, to recognize itself, to grow into itself, to understand and become itself."
Eckhart Tolle
"The underlying emotion that governs all the activity of the ego is fear. Fear of being nobody, the fear of nonexistence, the fear of death....Once you realize and accept that all structures are unstable, even the seemingly solid material ones, peace arises within you. This is because the recognition of impermanence of all forms awakens you to the dimension of the formless within yourself, that which is beyond death. Jesus called it eternal life.
Daniel 12:2
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life......
Eve(Zelophehad's Daughters)
It is this God who never ceases to call me, not with a pity that would release me, but with the compassion that ever demands of me a deeper, more human, more divine life....."
These are things on my mind today. Struggling to reach past the constricting ego which wants to define self and experience in such narrow terms.
