Be an Individual

2012-02-01T05:02:00.001-05:00

Be an individual. Do not compromise your individuality, authenticity, sovereignty, authority and freedom - not for religion, politic, money, companionship, marriage, class, status or belonging. Likewise do not ask anyone to compromise their own authenticity, freedom or authority. Do not mistake your own mind as the authentic you. Do not make your own mind your authority. Your mind is totally inauthentic - it is just the store house for all the nonsense that has be past down to you from the past. Liberate yourself from everything, everyone and most importantly, your own mind. Love and light.Courtney

Follow Your Heart

2012-02-01T05:01:00.000-05:00

Don't follow your mind. Don't decide one way or another. Your mind cannot see the big picture. It can only see the past and project it into the future. Just follow your heart - one step at a time. You don't need to know where you are going. You only need to have enough courage to trust your heart and follow it. Yes - it may lead you into what you perceive as trouble based on your minds limited perspective, but I assure you it is a lesson your higher self wanted you to have for your own growth and development. It will raise your vibration and consciousness. Follow your heart. Love and light.Courtney

All Addictions are bad

2012-01-24T23:27:00.001-05:00

My observation is that people who are devoted to politics, religion and money make a big deal and even imprison other people for using narcotic drugs - such as marijuana, because they claim it is addictive and is bad for the users. My own understanding is that devotion to politics, money and religion are also drugs and are much more addictive and dangerous than narcotics. With narcotics one can only destroy one’s self - at most it will be a suicidal thing and one should be free to commit suicide. But power-politic, religion and money destroy others - it is murder - it kills others and one should not be permitted to kill others. I am saying that all addictions are bad - be it narcotics, money, politics, or religion and the lesser evil should not be punished while the greater is not.
Love and light.

2012-01-20T00:50:00.001-05:00

We have been inculcated to think that democracy is the best form of governance for organizing our society. My own understanding is that democracy has never worked anywhere in the world. And some of the worst wars, atrocities and enslavement have been carried out by democratic societies. Democracy, the process by which the leaders and government of a society are popularly elected is nothing but a recipe for the moneyed class to influence and control the political process by financing their chosen puppets to administer the government. These politicians are then beholden to their masters, whose only interest is enslavement of humanity. Is there a better way? Wake up! Love and light.Courtney

Does God exist?

2012-01-16T21:11:00.000-05:00

Does God exist? It depends on what you call "God". The word "God" is just a concept in people's minds. There are some religions such as Buddhism, that does not use the word "God". There are other religions such as Hinduism that has 330 million gods. The concept "God" is central to the major western group of religions called Judeo-christian (jews, christians and muslims). For them "God" is a particular being that exists and answers their particular request. So the concept "god" is different for different religions and is not even essential. My own understanding and use of the word god is synonymous to the words - source, life, love, creativity, existence, the all, the one etc.
Love and light.

The only reason to Have sex

2012-01-08T23:38:00.002-05:00

We have been taught to have sex with someone we are married to, committed to, promised to, contracted to, in a relationship with, etc. In other words our sex is ordinarily based on a transactional, quid pro quo or contractual relationship - just business. My own understanding is that we should have sex with someone for one reason and one reason only - you are both mutually in love with each other at the time - not yesterday, not tomorrow, but right here/now. Let your sex be a celebration of your love, a pure gift of free choice to your beloved - no contract, no business, no law, no quid pro quo, no promise, no expectation - just a pure gift of love and joy. This type of sex will transform you and your beloved and will raise your level of vibration and consciousness.
Love and light.

Authentic Success

2012-01-03T12:26:00.002-05:00

Ordinarily we view success in life as climbing the ladder and reaching the top rank - becoming the prime minister, the president, the CEO, the world’s best, the richest man, the biggest house, the prettiest wife, etc. My own understanding is that none of that makes any difference at all. We are here for one reason and one reason only - that is to wake up. It does not matter what we have achieved on this planet, if we came here and did not awaken - then it was all for naught. Jesus is reported to have said “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?.” Wake up!
Love and light

Who Am I?

2011-12-09T12:59:00.001-05:00

Who am I? Am I “the name” that was given to me? I am born. What name do I have? - no name. But I am. That “I am-ness” is my essence - my name. Then, for utilitarian purposes, “I am” is given a name and by and by I will forget my “I am-ness” and “I am” will become identified with “the name” and everything else that comes with it. If somebody insults “the name”, I will be angry; if somebody praises “the name”, I will be happy. And “the name” never belonged to me! I am that I am and so it is. Love and light.Courtney

God is.

2011-12-08T15:53:00.001-05:00

God is. Period! Anything else is a story, an idea, an opinion, a commentary, dicta, perception, inculcation, programming, conditioning etc. In order to exploit, control and manipulate people, the elite make up stories and rules and even "put words in God's mouth" and write books and say it was written by God or by God inspired people (usually men). Two things are alway present in these books - fear and greed. Fear - if you don't do as "God" say - you go to hell forever, where you will burn and suffer. Greed - if you do as "God" say, you will go to heaven forever, where you will get all your fantasies fulfilled. Wake up! God is. Love and light.Courtney

Who Am I?

2011-12-04T11:35:00.002-05:00

Who am I? and Who Am I being right now? are two of the most important questions you can asked yourself. These questions are not meant to be given the usual automatic or reactionary answers but rather to provide an opportunity for you to be conscious and for you to look and see and go deeper. Each time you consciously ask yourself these questions you give yourself the space to be aware, alert and conscious for a moment. If you can provide yourself with that space consistently - you will be an awakened being.
Love and light.

Meditation is needed for Love

2011-11-27T23:29:00.000-05:00

My own understanding is that meditation is needed before we can really love. A relationship is needed only because we are not yet capable of love and meditation, we can’t yet be alone. One should be capable of being alone, utterly alone, and yet tremendously blissful. Then we can love. Then our love is no longer a relationship, no more a need, no more a necessity - but a sharing, a gift. We will not become dependent on the people we love. We will share — and sharing is beautiful.
Love and light.
Courtney

Private property

2011-10-31T18:40:00.002-05:00

We have all been inculcated into a paradigm of private property and isolated nuclear family. These two concepts have been at the heart of our civilization for the last three millenniums. We have structured everything in our societies around these two fundamental concepts. It is my own understanding that these two concepts have failed us miserably - yet no one dare to say so or even to offer any alternatives.
Love and light.
Courtney

Freedom

2011-10-27T10:12:00.001-05:00

Freedom and liberation must be our only aim - everything else is an exercise in futility. To become free, to be liberated from slavery is what we have to strive for, once we become even a little bit aware of our position. There is nothing else worthwhile possible as long as we remain a slave both inwardly and outwardly. But we cannot cease to be a slave outwardly as long as we remain a slave inwardly. Therefore in order to become free, we must gain inner freedom. To gain inner freedom we must wake up.
Love and light.
Courtney

Love vs fear

2011-10-26T09:40:00.002-05:00

There are only two things in the world - love and fear. All evil, violence, war, negativity, greed, anger, jealousy etc. is a result of fear. All the times when you behaved negatively was because you were fearing something or someone. On the other hand all happiness, peace, freedom, joy, god are a result of love. The question then becomes "how do we shift ourselves and humanity from fear to love?" My own understanding is there is only one way - you first have to wake up and become aware. Only in awareness can love be discovered and lived. Wake up!
Love and light.

Let Enjoy this Journey Together

2011-10-25T09:58:00.002-05:00

Have you ever noticed how we human beings use every opportunity to divide ourselves into race, nation state, religion, gender, caste, politic, social status, economic status, membership in clubs/societies, history, family, etc. Why do we do this? What is the purpose of all this division? What is this need to belong? Why can't we all wake up and see that we have just one father - the sun and one mother - the earth. Both of whom supplies us with everything we need to grow, prosper and enjoy this journey. We can live in love, peace and harmony with each other.
Love and light.
Courtney

Love and Freedom

2011-10-21T16:38:00.000-05:00

Ordinarily our love is conditional - "I will love you only if you promise to love me." If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought and sold in the market; it is not love - it is a transaction. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something - and it is only such love that can know freedom. Freedom and love are like the two wings of a bird - they go together. Love is not a reaction to anything - it is your very being.
Love and light.
Courtney

Happy Thanks Giving

2011-10-11T06:23:00.002-05:00

Happy thanking all my Canadian friends and all my friends. Let's take this opportunity to remind ourselves how blessed we are to live on this wonderful planet. And to be grateful for everything - to father sun, to mother earth, to all our fellow inhabitants on this beautiful planet (plants, animals, humans), to the entire universe and indeed to existence itself. I am grateful to you my friend and for our interaction. Thank you for accepting my love.
Love and light.
Courtney

Acceptance

2011-10-09T09:30:00.000-05:00

Ordinarily, we want something else, someone else, somewhere else, we are always looking, desiring and searching for what we are not experiencing right now. This takes us out of the moment and we are divided between “the what is” and “the what is not”. There is no power, bliss or efficacy in “the what is not”. To transform you life or the world you must first accept “the what is”. Be where you are now. Accept what is - now. This is it - right here now.
Love and light.
Courtney

The Slavery Trap

2011-08-27T05:09:00.000-05:00

The slavery trap: Get a good education, then a good job, then a good mortgage, then a good married, then a good child, then good education for the child, then a good retirement, then a good coffin. Your entire life disappears and you have not grown one bit along your spiritual path. Wake up! You are caught in a net, but all nets have holes, find one and escape.
Love and light.
Courtney

Love yourself First

2011-06-12T07:08:00.000-05:00

Love yourself first. Start with loving your body - be very aware and conscious with your body. Make your body your first best friend - relate to your body with tender loving care. Study your body - give it what it needs and do not force on it that which is harmful to it. Communicate consciously with your body - listen to it. It has many great and liberating thinks to tell you.
Love and light.
Courtney

Initial Struggle

2011-04-27T12:42:00.000-05:00

Initially we have to go through tremendous struggle to escape the prison in which we find ourselves. The struggle is tantamount to a rocket leaving the earth atmosphere - tremendously energy is needed - once the rocket is outside the atmosphere, it glides easily. In the same way once we have transcended our programming, we will glide more easily and experience the natural flow of the universe.
Love and light.
Courtney

We are in a Prison

2011-04-27T06:51:00.000-05:00

We are all in a prison. If we are intelligent, all we can wish for is to escape. Most of us do not know that we are in a prison and therefore have no hope of escape but instead even fight to continue in the prison. To have any chance of escape we must first realize that we are in a prison. So long as we mistakenly believe that we are free, we have no chance of escape. Wake up! Love and light.
Love and light
Courtney

Stop and See

2011-04-05T11:33:00.000-05:00

Stop and see. Go nowhere! or better - go now-here! Drop all searching and see who resides within. Wakeup to the one who really is. This is possible only through stopping. Stop and see is the crux of all spiritual endeavour and practice. This is the only way to enter your inner sanctuary. That inner sanctuary is your soul.
Love and light.
Courtney

Judge Not!

2011-03-02T16:39:00.001-05:00

Ordinarily we judge everything that happens in our lives and labels it, good or bad. The awakened person allows whatever happen to happen without judgments, labels or attachments. he simply watch everything and most importantly - he watches himself and what is going on inside. So the wife leaves - watch! So you lost your job - watch!
Love and light.
Courtney

Acceptance All

2011-02-20T00:44:00.001-05:00

Acceptance is one of the hardest lessons for us to learn on our journey of transformation. The lesson is to accept everything that happens in our lives without judgment. But in the moment when we cannot see the big or the whole picture - it is very tempting to resist the small part that we are seeing. Resist nothing that occurs! Accept all that is!
Love and light.
Courtney

Tell the Truth

2011-02-16T16:41:00.000-05:00

Ordinarily we lie to ourselves and each other. We never say what is so. Dare! Dare to be yourself. Dare to be authentic. Dare to tell the truth. Dare to say what is really going on in there. Start at least with your spouse, best friend or beloved. In the short run it may cause upheaval in your life but in the long run it will lead to peace, love, happiness and harmony because it is your truth.
Love and light.
Courtney

Thank you Beloved

2011-02-15T17:20:00.001-05:00

Spouses never say thank you to each other when they make love. Why is that so? It is because spouses see each other as property and making love as merely another spousal obligation. Lovers however always thank their beloved for making love to them because they are free and grateful to their beloved. Each moment is an authentic gift to be treasured. There is no duty or obligation, just freedom and love. Love and Light

With Love Everything Happens Naturally

2011-02-14T12:15:00.000-05:00

Happy Valentine's Day! This is an opportunity to truly look at love. If you allow love to happen, there will be no need for church, temple, worship, prayer, meditation. You can completely forget about God if you can love, because through love everything will happened to you: meditation, worship, prayer, God, everything will happened naturally. That's why Jesus is reported to have said, "Love is God."
Love and light.
Courtney

What is History

2011-02-08T10:10:00.001-05:00

What is history and its importance? 1. History is a story. 2. It is a story told from the perception of the story teller. 3. Mostly we only hear the story of the conquerer. 4. Given that most human being project the past into the present and the future - stories are therefore of immense importance. 5. We must seek to get to the level of consciousness where we are free from stories.
Love and light.
Courtney

Sexual Freedom

2011-02-08T10:08:00.000-05:00

Why do religion, government and society have so much interest in sex? They dictate when, where, how, why and with whom one should have sex. If you don't obey - they will ostracize, impeach, imprison, and sometimes even kill you. My own understanding is that the sexual energy is the avenue to enlightenment. Religion and society cannot cope with enlightened people, so they deny sexual freedom.
Love and light.
Courtney

Depolarization of Masculine and Feminine

2011-02-03T22:44:00.001-05:00

I have noticed a depolarization of the masculine and feminine in our relationships. It seems that men are trying to make their woman into their buddy and women are trying to turn their man into their girlfriend. So we end up with a kind of muta gender. Boring! Man allow your woman to be a woman. And woman allow your man to be a man.
Love and light.
Courtney

Enter the Temple of the Divine

2011-02-02T16:32:00.002-05:00

We all loiter outside the temple of the divine, afraid to enter. We are afraid of what will happen in there. Out here is our everything, family, prestige, belongings, religions etc. and to enter we cannot take anything with us. I can't even take my name - that will be two - me and my name. I can't take my knowledge - that will be two - me and my knowledge. I can't take my religion - that will be two - me and my religion. I have to drop all and enter alone, naked and innocence.
Love and light.
Courtney

We Are One

2011-02-01T14:25:00.001-05:00

It is all one. We are all one. Only mind perceives separation, division, compartmentalization. But in reality there is no separation. For example, your body contains 70 trillion cells - but there is just one body. Likewise there are 8 billion people on earth, and we all are part of one bigger body. Can we all get this and work together?
Love and light.
Courtney

Be Meditative

2011-01-28T01:24:00.000-05:00

There is a saying in the East "if you love the poem, don't meet the poet." I think that is so because so few of us can live up to our moments of meditation, inspiration and love. Our task is to make meditation not just something we do twice per day, but our way of life. So that our entire life is a meditation. Today, be meditative in everything you think, feel, say and do.
Love and light.
Courtney

Love Everyone Equally

2011-01-25T08:10:00.000-05:00

Ordinarily we have special relationships and we love only those people - lover, spouse, children, parents, family, friends etc. and fail to love those who are not in these special relationships. Only when we love all equally will we transform this planet and live in love and oneness.
Love and light.

First Meet Your Own God

2010-11-29T14:07:00.000-05:00

Everybody should first meet their own god, which is to be found in your own heart. Once you are connected with that god you will realize that it is not just in your heart but it is in every heart and in fact everywhere, equally at the same time. Then one will realize and experience that he is one with all beings, all things. The dewdrop dissolves into the ocean and the ocean dissolves into the dewdrop.
Love and light.

Drop Your Mind - Open your Heart

2010-09-23T10:54:00.000-05:00

We have all been taught to value the mind. From the moment we were born people have been teaching us all type of stuff. This is our only problem. To be, not to think is the way to know the truth. Science, religion, philosophy and theology are all thinking. Drop knowledge and enter into the intimate world of knowing and love. Drop your mind and open your heart.
Love and light.
Courtney

Love your Body

2010-09-19T15:42:00.000-05:00

Ordinarily we pay little attention to our bodies. We go through life feeding it whatever our culture, parent and society program us to eat. We eat too much sugar, salt and starch while eating too little green leafy vegetable and drinking too little water. Thus causing our bodies to be sick, dehydrated and stressed. Can we make our bodies our best friend and give it what it needs? Wake up!
Love and light.
Courtney

Watch

2010-08-10T10:14:00.000-05:00

Be ordinary, be a nobody, be herenow and Watch! Watch your words, actions, thoughts, feelings, character and habits. Watching means bringing your awareness and consciousness to everything, to your every moment. Watching is like a light shining into a dark room. When you watch yourself you will find a new quality to your every moment. WATCH!
Love and light.
Courtney

Just Watch

2010-07-29T11:12:00.000-05:00

Don't try to be holy, righteous, humble or a saint - these are only covert attempt by the ego to remain in control. Just be aware of the ego and watch its many games. When you think it is over - it just changes its form. The religious term of Maya or Satan is just another name for the ego. For example - Satan/ego said to Jesus "I be back." And the ego did come back only more covert. Just watch.
Love and light.
Courtney

Unwritten

2010-07-27T16:44:00.000-05:00

We all come into the world absolutely unwritten. We come into the world as an open potentiality, a multidimensional potentiality. We have to write our own fate. But before we can even realize this - everybody try their utmost to fill us up with their garbage - our parents, teachers, religious people, politicians etc. To be authentic - we have to drop it all and be open again, be a child again.
Love and light.
Courtney

Acceptance

2010-07-20T10:29:00.000-05:00

Ordinarily we go through life resisting everything we don’t want. Invariably we find that we receive most of that which we are resisting. With resistance we are creating a counter force that causes whatever we are resisting to persist. An awakened person resists nothing. What is just is and so it is. In other words he accepts everything as it is – and simply create what he wants.
Love and light.
Courtney

Accept and Love Yourself

2010-07-19T12:18:00.000-05:00

Jesus is reported to have said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." What he didn't say is that you cannot start there because most of us do not love ourselves. In fact most of us hate ourselves and from that position we will hate our neighbors. We must start with acceptance and love of ourselves right where we are. Only then will we be able to accept and love the other.
Love and light.
Courtney

Truth

2010-07-18T09:29:00.000-05:00

Truth cannot be found in a book - no matter the book or who is alleged to have written it - be it bible, koran, Gita etc. Further truth cannot be expressed in language. You can observe reality or have an experience - however the moment you put that into language - it is at best a description and not the real thing or experience. Stop looking for truth in books. Wake up! Go in!
Love and light.
Courtney

Act - Don't react

2010-07-17T10:08:00.001-05:00

Ordinarily we do not act we react. Reaction is just the way the mind is programmed. With reaction you are predictable - you are a machine - you are acting unconsciously, somebody is manipulating you. The awakened person Acts - they do not react. With action you are unpredictable. No one knows what you will do - you are alive, alert, aware, conscious. Act!
Love and light.
Courtney

Beliefs

2010-07-16T11:03:00.000-05:00

Have you ever inquired into the nature of beliefs? Why do you believe what you believe? Why do parents, religions, politicians, teachers etc all insist that we belief certain things? What is the purpose of beliefs? I do not belief anything - I either know or I don't know. And most times I don't know - hence I enter with a beginners mind, uncontaminated with bogus believes. And all beliefs are bogus.
Love and light.
Courtney

When Love is Gone

2010-07-14T09:13:00.001-05:00

When the love is gone from your relationship - leave. If you leave with an open heart and an open mind you may even come back and love again. Growth, transformation and personal development is alway important. However, I want my beloved to come home to me not because we are in a relationship but because she is in love with me. Love to me is way more important than a relationship.
Love and light.
Courtney

Be happy

2010-07-09T08:44:00.001-05:00

Be happy independent of conditions. Don't allow anything, any condition, any person to interfere with your happiness. The only way this can be accomplished is to not be attached to anyone or anything. Say to yourself "I would rather be happy than to be with "x" or I would rather be happy than to have "x". Then give up "x". If you are not able to do that - then you are an unhappy clinger.
Love and light.
Courtney

Transform Yourself first

2010-07-04T11:57:00.000-05:00

It is not important for to want to transform the world. It is also not important for you to transform others. It is of utmost importance for you to transform and love yourself. Seek first to transform and love yourself. Can you commit to transforming and loving yourself first. One transformed person, changes the world.
Love and light.
Courtney

My Opinions

2010-06-29T16:57:00.001-05:00

Ordinarily we hold on to our opinions as if they are gospel - and even worth many of us try to force our opinions on to others and get upset about others' opinions. If someone want to have an opinion - let them - why do you care? And for my own opinions - I want to be free of them. Who cares? I will tell them to the stars and see if they care.
Love and light.
Courtney

Awakened Life

2010-06-26T12:46:00.001-05:00

The principles of an awakened life are - love, compassion, acceptance, trust, surrender and gratitude. When you are in this place you will experience no ordinary moment - every moment of your life will be an extraordinary celebration - your heart will be open and you will know that whatever existence bring to you is for your highest and best. Use it well.
Love and light.
Courtney

Free our children

2010-06-14T22:01:00.000-05:00

All our methods of bringing up children are geared towards making them into slaves - slaves of political, social and religious ideologies. We don't give them a chance to search and discover on their own. We were indoctrinated by our parents and we do the same thing to our children. Hence the vicious cycle continues from generation to generation. Wake up.
Love and light.
Courtney

2012 Awakening

2010-06-09T10:26:00.000-05:00

2012 is predicted to be a catastrophic year when major changes, both physical and metaphysical are suppose to take place. The ancient Mayan predictions foretell that the world will end on December 21, 2012. Yet as this date approaches most of us do not known anything about this date and the choices we can make or even that the present global crisis is a necessary first step towards the awakening.
Wake up!
Love and light.
Courtney

Who Am I?

2010-05-23T08:46:00.001-05:00

Sit quietly by yourself and ask "who am I?" Don't give any answers and don't accept any answers from the outside. Just be patient, watch, listen and wait. Just being with the question layers will open and will take you deeper and deeper. If you can stay long enough, bye and bye something will happen - not that you will get an answer but the question will dissolve and you will know. You will awaken.
Love and light.
Courtney

Vicarious Redemption

2010-05-22T20:10:00.000-05:00

I don’t believe in vicarious redemption. If you are looking for a savior look in the mirror…You are the savior you are looking for. You! YES! You! Can heal your life, create your prosperity, Forgive others, bless everything around you. Wake up! And transform your life now. This calls for total responsibility and accountability. Love and light.

A New Consciousness of Love and Light

2010-04-27T22:43:00.000-05:00

A new Consciousness of Love and Light

As we have completed the first decade of the twenty-first century, we look around us and see the astounding advances in technology, science, medicine, knowledge and access to information. Yet at the same time we see significant increases in war, poverty, starvation, political and religious corruption, turmoil, desecration of the environment, terrorism and great sorrow even among the most affluent. What is the reason for this?

For thousands of years we have looked outside of ourselves, to experts, to counselors, therapists, educators, politicians and religious leaders to solve our personal and social upheavals. They have amassed and manipulated information of incredible complexity, yet the fundamental problems of fear, conflict, relationship, lives without meaning, are increasing at an alarming rate.

It occurred to me that a new consciousness and a totally new morality are necessary to bring about a transformation in the present culture and social structure. This is obvious to me, and yet our political, religious and social leaders seem to take no notice of it. All dogma, all formula, all ideology are part of the old consciousness – the old mind set; they are the fabrication of the mind, whose activity is fragmentation and separation – left, right, center; Christian, Muslim, Jews etc. This activity will inevitably lead to strife, bloodshed or to totalitarianism.

This is what is going on around us. One sees the necessity for social, economic, political and moral change but the response is from the old consciousness, thought being the principal factor. As Einstein postulated, “Problems cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness that created them.”

We cannot solve our problems with the same old consciousness. The mess, the confusion, and the misery that human beings have gotten into are within the area of the old consciousness, and without changing that profoundly, every human activity – political, economic, social or religious – will only bring us to the destruction of each other and of the earth. This is so obvious to me. How do we move to a new consciousness?

The new consciousness is inward. A new consciousness can only come about when one is a light onto oneself; this light is the law. There is no other law. All other laws are made by thought and so are fragmentary, dualistic and contradictory. To be a light to oneself is not to follow the light of another, however reasonable, logical, historical, and however convincing. You cannot be a light unto yourself if you are in the dark shadow of authority, of dogma, of religion, of conclusion. Morality is not put together by thought; it is not the outcome of environmental pressure, it is not of yesterday, of tradition, of culture or even of the future. Morality is the child of love and love is not of the mind. Even desire, pleasure, sexual or sensory enjoyment is not love. Love is of the heart and the soul. It is that which connects all of existence together and love can only live in freedom.

The new consciousness calls for absolute freedom. Freedom is to be a light to oneself; then it is not an abstraction, a thing conjured up by inculcated programs. Actual freedom is freedom from dependency, attachment, and possession, from the craving for experience. This calls for freedom from your own mind. Unless you become free from the very construct and constrains of your own mind you can never be free. That is what Bob Marley meant when he said “emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.” This is the ultimate liberation. It is far worth to be free from mental chains but to be enslaved by mental chains.

Freedom from the very structure of your mind is to be a light to yourself. In this light the ego dissolves and disappears. It is like bringing a light into a dark room - the darkness, the illusions and the shadows disappear. The ego – the darkness cannot coexist with the light, one denies the other. Where the light is, the ego is not. The structure of the ego is put together by the mind, which is never new, never free, never love. In the light there is no “ism” no system, no ideology, no religion, no dogma and no beliefs. There is only the seeing and being. You have to see, not through your physical eyes or through the eyes of another, but through your heart. That is what Jesus meant when he said “he who have eyes to see let him see.” They all had physical eyes so he was obviously not talking about physical eyes – he was talking about mystical eyes – the eyes of the heart. This light, this law, is neither yours nor that of another. There is only consciousness. There is only oneness. There is only light. This is love. This is your birthright and with this new consciousness we can heal the world. Love and light.

Acceptance

2010-04-04T09:59:00.001-05:00

Accept your present situation as it is and get rid of your dissatisfaction and resentment. You can always find something good in everyone, everything and in every situation. Even the smallest thing in life can be a source of joy. If you are grateful for all you have now and experience love for all things around you, then you will be sending out positive vibrations and attracting good things to you. Love and light

Let your Love be a worship

2010-04-04T09:07:00.000-05:00

Have you ever really loved someone? Loved your beloved to the point of worship? Loved until you wanted to drink all of your beloved's juices? Where you are totally surrendered and you experience a feeling of oneness? Still, that is not the purpose of love it is just the practice. The true purpose of love is to expand that feeling to everyone and everything . Such that we become one with the all.
Love and light.

Meditation

2010-04-01T17:12:00.000-05:00

Meditation is presence and focus. Ordinarily we think of meditation as only a practise we do for short periods where we sit in silence. Yes this is good but it is not the purpose, it is just the practice. Meditation must become our way of life - our moment by moment endeavor. Whatever you do, do it meditatively. Let your life be a meditation. Love and light.

Love is transcendental

2010-04-01T17:07:00.000-05:00

Loving your beloved, by and by you become aware that your beloved is not just a body, not just a mind, not just a person; something far transcendental is hidden behind. The beloved becomes a window…a window into existence, a window into God. In fact anything or anyone you truly love becomes a window into God. LOVE!
Love and light.

Question Evertything

2010-03-21T21:22:00.001-05:00

We have been taught not to question authority. This starts from the home where we are taught not to question our parents, then the schools, religions and governments all dictate that we not question their edicts. We are programmed not to think for ourselves and we became dumb automatons, believing everything we are to...ld by our respective authority. Wake up! Question everything!
Love and Light.
Courtney

Send Only Love and Light

2010-03-17T09:38:00.000-05:00

When you think, speak, feel or act negatively towards another you are actually also using them against yourself, because we are all connected and whatever we do to the other we are do to yourself. Further, the other will be influence by your negativity and start sending negativity to you ... and the cycle continues. Be conscious and send only love and light it will come right back to you.
Love and light.
Courtney

Love is unpredictable

2010-03-07T19:35:00.001-05:00

Love is totally unpredictable. Many times the love we authentically experience will not necessarily look like the concept we have in our minds. Allow your self to flow with the effervescence of love. Love is both the journey and the destination. You have to totally surrender in order to reap the benefits of love. If it is love, go into it with wanton abandon. Lose yourself in love.
Love and light.
Courtney

The male/female aspect of God

2010-02-02T20:06:00.001-05:00

Most indigenous religions have both the male and female principles as part of their god head. This make a lot of sense to me. The yin and yang have long been known by the ancients as fundamental for creation. Judeo-Christians have as their god head the father, son and holy ghost. Where is the woman, mother, feminine principle? Love and light.

Capitalism system

2010-02-02T20:04:00.000-05:00

Capitalism is the most ingenious form of slavery. It convinces its slaves that they are free. It gives them licenses, professions, degrees etc. and at all times creating divisions, hierarchy and caste. The slaves do not have to be forced. They go clamming and begging for participation - jobs, loans, licenses etc. and not able to see that these things they are clamming for, keep them in slavery. Love and light.

First response- Haiti

2010-02-02T20:03:00.000-05:00

Haiti experienced a devastating earthquake yesterday. I felt it all the way here in Jamaica. I call on the world especially Haiti’s neighbors to immediately deploy massive support to Haiti. Further I call on all light workers of the world to do all that we can to assist our brothers and sister in Haiti – send money, volunteer, send intention blessing or whatever we can to help. We are all one. Love and light.

Haiti cont'd

2010-02-02T20:02:00.000-05:00

As we are overwhelmed with the situation is Haiti - I remind all my friends to: 1. Give thanks for all the blessings that we now enjoy. 2. Send money to help the relief effort in Haiti. 3. Send love and light to the Haitian. 4. Remind ourselves that natural phenomenons do not of themselves take lives - human errors do 5. Find a permanent solution to the Haitian dilemma. We can do it. Love and light.

Haiti

2010-02-02T20:00:00.000-05:00

The history of Haiti has much to do with the deaths tool from the earthquakes. There is an insidious policy by the western world to punish Haiti for the successful slave revolution in 1789. A $21 billion debt (in today’s money) was imposed on Haiti for lost of property. A price they were not able to finish paying until late 20th century. That price tag is the main reason for Haiti's poverty to day. Love and light.

Open arms to Haiti

2010-02-02T19:54:00.000-05:00

Imperialism and racism is the main cause of Haiti’s problems. A permanent and sustainable solution to the problems is open borders between Canada, USA and the Caribbean. North America and the Caribbean is one region with a similar history. All of the people in North America and the Caribbean came here from Africa, Europe and Asia over the last 400 years. None should be confined to an island. Love and light.

From 'ME' to 'WE'

2010-02-02T19:53:00.000-05:00

The time has come for us to shift our consciousness on this planet from a me only paradigm to we paradigm. We have exhausted the me only paradigm and it is clear to all that it does not work...yet there are many forces of misguided individual self interest that will do anything to prolong this archaic and primitive way of human coexistence. We are all one. When will we realize this? Love and light.

Escaping the matrix

2010-02-02T19:52:00.000-05:00

Most of us spend most of our time and resources securing habitat, food, transportation and raising children. This is a primitive way to live. Living this way leaves very little time and resources for spiritual growth and consciousness raising. We must find a way to escape this drudgery. Love and light.

Chase those crazy bunkheads...

2010-02-02T19:51:00.000-05:00

Bob Marley paraphrased - We plant the corn, you eat off our corn. We build your penitentiary, you lock us up. We build your schools, brainwash education to make us the fools. Hate is your reward for our love. Telling us of your God above. We gonna chase those crazy - Chase those crazy bunkheads - Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town! Love and light.

God's special people

2010-02-02T19:50:00.002-05:00

The Jews are delusional- they have convinced themselves that they are God's special and only chosen people. Jesus Christ is the ultimate Jew; he took it to the next level. He is not satisfied with being a part of God's special and chosen people, so even more incredulously, he convinces himself that he is God's only begotten son. Love and light.

What is truth

2010-02-02T19:49:00.001-05:00

What is truth? How can something expressed in language be truth? Language can only be used to describe. Maybe truth is out there, but once it is expressed in language it cannot be truth-it is my subjective description of what is. Hence none of my expressions in language are truth-at best they are just my inspired subjective perspective and that is so for all expressions in language. Love and light

Choose Freedom

2010-02-02T19:44:00.002-05:00

Most of us are afraid of freedom. There is good reason for this. Freedom is risky. You are free to do the wrong or the right thing. You have to be responsible and accountable. Freedom can be misused. You can make the wrong choice. If you are only free to choose the right then you are not free. Love and light.

Rastaman Chant

Rasta nuh work fi Babylon System! We are caught in a matrix. Lets find a way to escape. Love and light.

Helping Haiti

2010-02-02T19:42:00.000-05:00

Give a man a fish today and he will need another fish tomorrow. If the funds that go into Haiti now are used to buy stuff from the developed countries, then in the long run only the developed countries will benefit. Sustainable development can only occur when capital circulates in Haiti. A way must be found such that money can stay and circulate amongst all the Haitian people not just a few. Love and light.

Be Authentic

2010-02-02T19:39:00.000-05:00

Be authentic! There is gift inside of you that only you can give to the world. Don’t be a photocopy. Don’t mimic Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed or any one else. If Mohammed had mimicked Jesus, or Jesus had mimicked Buddha, or Buddha had mimicked Krishna we would have missed immeasurably. Their contribution was powerful because it was authentic. Love and light.

Simply Trust

2010-02-02T19:29:00.000-05:00

Trust is a fundamental aspect of love and the awakened life. The opposite of trust is fear. When we are not living from trust we are living from fear. Anytime you experience negativity in any form - doubt, worry, guilt etc. - you are fearing and not trusting. An awakened person trusts explicitly. Whatever occurred - occurred, whatever happened - happened and they trust that. No Fear! Just Trust! Love and light.

Bob Marley quoting Haile Selasse

2010-01-26T23:17:00.001-05:00

When will we learn from Bob Marley quoting Haile Selasse. "Until the philosophy which hold one race superior..And another..Inferior. Is finally..And permanently..Discredited..And abandoned. Everywhere is war...Me say war. That until there no longer..First class and second class citizens of any nation...Until the colour of a man's skin.Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes..Me say war."
Love and light

Be disciplined in your thoughts

2010-01-10T10:45:00.000-05:00

Every thought no matter how simple or benign affects our entire system. They are like instant messages sent to different destinations where they take immediate action-creating, destroying, organizing, sabotaging, empowering, uplifting etc. When we are not disciplined in our thoughts we live by default. Let's be disciplined in our thoughts and begin to design and create the life we consciously choose. Love and light

Be a Love and Light Player in 2010

2009-12-31T09:25:00.000-05:00

Today marks the end of the first decade of this millennium. We find ourselves at a crossroad. One road leads to destruction and more suffering. The other road leads to awaking and liberation. Each individual choice makes a profound difference. The world needs more love and light players. Will you be one? I claim the highest and the best for you in 2010.
Love and light.
Courtney

Be Courageous

2009-12-26T20:33:00.000-05:00

Be courageous! Venture into the unknown. Life can only be found in the unknown. People live and go on missing life. Life needs courage. It needs courage to be authentic, it needs courage to move with life wherever it leads, because the paths are uncharted, there are no maps. If you cling to the know, you cling to the mind and the mind is not life. Life is total, your whole being has to be involved.
Love and light.
Courtney

Transform Yourself

2009-12-02T09:24:00.001-05:00

Unfortunately religions have stopped at worshipping. You cannot know or experience God by worshipping someone who has. Worshipping someone who is experiencing God is like a seed worshipping a tree, an egg worshipping a bird or a larva worshipping a butterfly. That won’t do it – the seed has to germinate, the egg has to be hatched and cracked. You have to transform yourself.
Love and light.
Courtney

Be Love

2009-12-02T09:23:00.000-05:00

A loving person loves everyone and everything. If you hate one person you cannot love at all. A loving human being is a loving human being, it has nothing to do with the other. Even when alone a loving person is loving. To be loving is the loving person's nature, it has nothing to do with a relationship. Let love be your nature.
Love and light.
Courtney

Existence is Divine

2009-11-28T20:25:00.000-05:00

The whole of existence is divine. Start loving everyone and everything if you want to love God. Each particular manifestation can be a window to the divine. Forget about thoughts and words and move into feelings - the existential. Feel more, think less. Through feeling, your essence will arise and you will dissolve. And when you dissolve, God is.
Love and light.
Courtney

Dare to Be Yourself

2009-11-25T09:04:00.002-05:00

Dare to be yourself. Dare to be authentic. Don’t copy Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed or anyone else. If they had copied each other the world would have missed tremendously. If you copy them the whole world will miss tremendously – we will miss you and your authentic contribution. Be you! Don’t be a copycat. You may learn from everyone but bring your own authentic contribution and expression to the party.
Love and light.
Courtney

Love is the Essence of Life

2009-11-21T10:50:00.000-05:00

Unless you know love you will not know the true purpose of life. It is the orgasmic meeting of life and death. You were born, you lived and you died but without love you missed the essence of life. You missed tremendously, utterly and absolutely. You missed the joyous interval between birth and death. The existential experience of love is needed for that interval to climb to it highest peak.
Love and light.
Courtney

Celebrate Love

2009-11-21T10:48:00.000-05:00

Love is to be celebrated. Today express your gratitude to someone for accepting your love. It does not have to be the "right person" to express it to - let it be someone who actually accepts your love ... a forbidden lover, a homeless child, a friend, a parent etc. Say, "thank you for accepting my love." By simply accepting your love they have given you the most precious present. Love and light.
Courtney

A World Without Separation

2009-11-21T10:39:00.001-05:00

Can you conceive of a world without separation - no religions, no political parties, no racial prejudice - a world where all of humanity lives as one. Everybody living in freedom and contributing according to his or her authentic expression. Let's create such a world together.
Love and light.

Love is our Core

2009-11-17T11:07:00.000-05:00

Love is our Core

Love Tremendously

2009-11-12T08:13:00.000-05:00

Love Tremendously

LOVE tremendously, passionately, compassionately, wholehearted and totally. Be totally invested in love. But don't let your love become fear; lust, possessive, jealous, attach or dependent. Be clear that your love is your love. It's coming from inside of you. The other is simply the form in which you are sharing and celebrating your love at this time. Be loving, grateful, truthful, respectful and free.
Love and light.
Courtney

Knowledge vs. Understanding

2009-11-10T23:23:00.001-05:00

Knowledge can only help a little bit - if at all. It is understanding that is needed for transformation. Understanding can only come about by your own experience. If someone understand something and shares it with you - it is understanding to him but knowledge to you. You have to go into it and experience it yourself. And your understanding will be different from everyone who have ever lived.
Love and light.
Courtney

Go Within

2009-11-06T13:50:00.001-05:00

Make all the money you want. Live in all the palacious houses and drive all the sophisticated cars you want. Acquire all the degrees and accolades you want. Marry all the desirable spouses and have all the children you want. Worship all the Gods and practice all the religions you want. However if you haven’t gone within and discover who it is that is living in this body; you have not lived at all.
Love and Light.
Courtney

Self-experience is the Path

2009-11-06T13:49:00.001-05:00

Scriptures and doctrines becomes an obstacle to our spiritual growth, because ready-made answers fill the mind with borrowed conclusions before one can ever experience. No transformation happens through these borrowed conclusions; self-experience and self-exploration is the path. In this spiritual life, every individual has to unload the burden of borrowed knowledge and tread the path for himself.
Love and light.

This is it

2009-11-06T13:48:00.001-05:00

I saw Michael Jackson's movie 'This is it!' last night. I was moved. At the time of making those recordings MJ would not have known that they would have been his last gift to us. Yet he gave his all. He performed as if "this is it." What will it take us to give each moment our all. To live our lives as if "this is it." To live right now and right here, and give this moment our all - "THIS IS IT!" Love and light.
Courtney

love God

2009-11-06T13:45:00.000-05:00

The phrase "Fear God," is integral to all organized religions. I've always wondered why on earth would I fear God. I would sooner fear everyone and everything but definately not God. Only very wrong conceptions of God would allow for such a foolish statement. God is who you are. God is everything. Be in complete love and trust with God. Be in deep communion with God.
Love and light.

Love is our very being

2009-11-02T10:53:00.001-05:00

Love is not just what we think, feel, say or do. More importantly love is who we are. It is our very being. Love is our very essences. Love is the curriculum of planet earth. Love is a ladder that can take us from hell to heaven. If we learn to love, we would have learnt all there is to learn. If we miss love, we would have missed our entire life. We came here to learn love – Let’s get on with it. Love and light.

The Joy of Giving

2009-11-01T08:16:00.000-05:00

Jesus is reported to have said, “It is better to give than to receive.” Giving and receiving are one and the same thing. When someone accepts our gifts they are actually doing us a great favor. We ought to feel obliged and grateful to the one that accepts our gifts, for they allow us to experience the most beautiful thing on the planet – the act of giving.
Love and light.
Courtney

Balance

2009-11-01T07:17:00.001-05:00

Spiritual discipline does not reject the body and the world, it transcends them. And that is achieved by neither indulgence or suppression, but rather by balance. Balance lies at the mid way of two polarities and that which is at the mid way transcends both polarities. To be at the extreme is to destroy life. To be at the mid point is to affirm life. Drop all extremes and watch. Be natural and watch.
Love and light.
