"Love is what you, and what we all need from others, having NOTHING to do with their sexual, physical touching of you. And love is not 'what makes a Subaru', despite how much they use that word to market their cars in their commercials."
"People must become at least spiritually enlightened enough to understand that religion can only be seen like someone's FAVORITE COLOR...and that is IT! You're a Christian? Fine...It doesn't make you "saved" over all others. That is a man-made lie. It's only as though you like the color RED on the color spectrum. You are a Jew? Fine...It doesn't set you apart in any way as the "Chosen Ones". It's only like your favorite color is BLUE...You are a Muslim? Fine...You aren't SPECIAL over anyone else in the eyes of Allah. It is only like your favorite color is GREEN, and we are ALL a part of the 'Divine color spectrum'. That in a nutshell is how you understand true spirituality...That is how mankind must learn to see all religion...just shades of colors in the rainbow we are all a part of together...a rainbow we co-created as a part of what God is."
" 'Faith' that has even an ounce of elitism and damning of others is spiritual 'fraud'. Faith is not automatically a beautiful thing, just as "belief" is not automatically a beautiful thing. I have personally witnessed and experienced this truth first hand, growing up around the truth about Christian beliefs, and witnessing first hand how condemning, elitist and bigoted toward others I was taught to be, using the majority of scriptures in the King James Bible."
"More and more, all I see when I look around me is mass hypocrisy...a world full of people who are selfishly fighting AGAINST their true purpose and their true nature...people who are like sheep, and who would just rather conform to what is "popular", fed to them by power-mongering institutions like organized religion, the media and political parties just to name a few, rather than waking up to the fake, pretentious scene they are helping to sustain by doing so."
"When you are meditating daily on this goal described above, meaning from the point when you arise in the morning, a little throughout your day, and again reminding yourself of this goal when you lay your head down to sleep at night, then you are "focusing" your thoughts and energy where it needs to be to bring healing to you and everyone around you, according to what I refer to as Highest Wisdom... There is one other key factor in "thinking in the right, healing direction", and that is making sure that you don't hold any GRIEVANCE or GRUDGE toward anyone for any perceived harm they may have caused to you. This is one of the biggest causes of a lack of healing and happiness in one's life. You must forgive everyone equally, because when you don't forgive another, you are not forgiving yourself. Put another way, a lack of forgiveness IS ABSOLUTELY A FORM OF CONDEMNATION."
"The horrors we are seeing all around us are meant to wake us up and help us think and create in the right direction. They are the result of our thinking and creating in the WRONG direction for way too long...We think in the wrong direction when we see our identity as number one, separate from what God is, and number two, separate from our diverse brothers and sisters. That is to say, too many of us put too much of an emphasis on being "Christian", or being "Jewish", or being "Muslim", or being "Mormons", or being "White", or "Black", or "Hispanic/Mexican"...the list of examples of divisions between ourselves goes on and on."
"The Bible, the Koran and organized religion are all about 'conditions' for "God's love and forgiveness". Make no mistake, your thoughts create! A mind that thinks with such a belief is perpetually creating an UNHEALED, divisive world that lacks the healing, love, peace and real abiding happiness they were not only meant to have for themselves, but that they were meant to daily bring to others!"
"Next time you hear a man call another man a 'pussy', stand up for the beautiful healing strength of women and shut him down. I had this exact experience in a police academy class I was in not long ago. My background is law enforcement, and I was going through a refresher course here in Sacramento. The instructor showed very weak character in the class when he responded to a recruit's point of view on a certain topic by saying, "C'mon, don't be a PUSSY". He absolutely wanted to compare the possible point of view of the recruit as being 'weak and effeminate like a female'. Being the only person in the room with prior experience as a police officer, I raised my hand to address the inappropriate use of such a term in an academy class. I politely explained to the instructor, for the entire class to hear, that to compare weakness and ineffectiveness to someone who has a vagina, i.e.someone who has a 'pussy', is grossly wrong, inaccurate and inappropriate."
"the solution or overall 'panacea' to addressing the growing violence and number of mass shootings in the United States is not found with "gun control" per se. That is not the angle I am coming from here whatsoever. I don't meant to over-generalize, but we don't address the issue of violent road rage by suggesting we stop selling cars, etc. The source of the problem that is SCREAMING to be addressed today is the underlying lack of ethics and human/community values in our American culture that need have NOTHING to do with organized religion. Matter of fact it is critical that they do not. Please read on so that I can expound on why that is so important."
"Put another way...people behaving like SHEEP...That is what the institutions of power in society have always counted on to successfully gain and hold the power that religion and politics has had over the masses for centuries upon centuries...They count on the fact that people would rather conform and not question the propaganda their institution sells as "truth" as long as people can feel a certain sustained degree of security from such blind conformity...Ironically, those who crafted the man-made 'scriptures' of the Bible even brazenly used that very metaphor to describe their beautifully "blind believers", describing and referring to them as "sheep" and the church/priests as their "shepherds"
