"Love, is the reason you are here upon the planet earth. Love, is the totality of existence. Love is the All That Is, the defining purpose of everything that ever has been and ever will be."

“Like a Group of High-Flying Kites”, January 2, 2011 - HEAVEN #3691

The heart holds membership in the sorority of love. The mind, on the other hand, is deep in thought rather than deep in love. And yet the mind is driven to trying to understand love, to delineate it, to master it, to rule it, to take it apart, to test it, to disassemble it and ascertain what makes love tick.

How does the mind understand anything? It computes, yet cannot quite make it through to the finish line. Of course, there is no finish line to love.

What is there to understand about love? It is better to love than to understand. It is better. Can the Infinite be understood by the finite mind? The heart has the advantage of being infinite. Its reach is infinite. There is no limit to love. Yet, in the world, love seems to start and stop, start and stop. Objects of love may start and stop, yet there is no stopping love. The mind is in hot pursuit of love, unmanageable love. Love is its own free agent. Love covers it all. Love is not a reporter. Love is an imbiber, and love rides the rails. Love is not an interpreter. Love is an understander, yet love does not seek to understand. Love seeks to expand its boundlessness and reach and reach and reach shores beyond itself. Love is inescapable. It is a world traveler.

The mind is more like a hustler. The mind wants to come to conclusions. The heart never wants to conclude. The heart is ever upward and onward and taking other hearts with it like a group of high-flying kites. The mind is insular. The mind is flighty.

Let Us come to a consensus of the heart and mind. Let the mind follow love. Let the mind become close behind love and yet not on its trail. Let the heart seek love, and the mind be content. Let the mind bask in the sun of love. Let the mind relax at the beach of love and not try to get into the middle of it. Let the mind and heart meet in love and never back away from each other. Let love, which has no language but itself, have the last word.

Let love consume you, not the mind. Love is eternal and a leader. The mind is a fugitive who flees. What mind can come to an understanding of love which is beyond understanding? And, yet, the mind is an inspector of love, an analyzer, an auditor of love, a revenuer of love. The mind is on the trail of love. It is a bloodhound after love, and never quite catches up to love. The mind hurries and yet cannot keep up.

What figment of the mind is the mind? The mind wants to smoke out love. It wants to hold love in its hand. It wants to capture love and get the essence of it. The mind goes click, click, and yet cannot take a picture of love. Only the lens of love can take its own picture.

Love is at the heart of it. Love is at the heart of the Universe. If the mind had a heart, the mind would be love. As it is, the mind is the detective, the scout, the chaser of love while love alone is.  God is always bringing us closer to Him. Link: www.heavenletters.org

"The Love of The Sacred Heart" 

Beloved Ones,

In each moment of each day, it is most important for you to keep your attention on and within your Sacred Heart. Each moment is of the utmost importance in time. Each moment is a moment of the Now and that is the only moment that has any significance in all of Creation. This moment of the Now is the only moment where you have the power to be and live and do that which you wish to create. This moment of the Now is the All That Is, the Divine moment, the Elixir of Life. You may also know that the Elixir of Life is Love, and that Love is the All That Is. This love is within you, within your Sacred Heart. Focus on this Love; make it your entire focus, each and every moment. When you find your thoughts and your mind wandering, return to the Love of the Sacred Heart. You may do this by choosing an affirmation, or a mantra which resonates with you. You may choose to use the word love, as a mantra. When your thoughts wander, your may bring your attention back to your Sacred Heart, by repeating the word love, over and over again, in your conscious mind. This will instantly bring your attention back into your Sacred Heart. You may choose such mantras as Aum, peace, joy, Om Shanti. You may simply say the word God. These are mantras of the highest vibration which will lift you up, away from the lower thoughts which penetrate your daily existences. Do not despair; it takes practice to train the mind to follow this procedure. As you find your thoughts drifting away, simply bring them back with the affirmation of love, or the mantra you have chosen. You may like to vary your mantras and affirmations, but you will find it most effective if you use one continually for the period of at least a week. This solidifies the thought form within the Sacred Heart and Mind and you will instantly come back to that vibration. You will find this technique most effective as you go through your day and encounter situations which are not of the vibration of love. As you practice holding this vibration and with your conscious thoughts, returning yourself to this vibration at will, you will be able to hold this frequency, this vibration, more easily and soon you will Be Love, in all of the Now moments.

It is of the greatest importance at this time to realize and hold the vibration of Love. More and more of you are beginning to understand that Love is indeed, all there is, it is the All That Is. It is you, it is each person your encounter each day in your daily lives, it is every animal, it is the plant kingdom, it is the mineral kingdom, it is everywhere and everything. It is all aquatic life, it is every grain of sand. It is the All. There is nothing else. Meditate in the quietness of Love in your Sacred Heart and you will begin to understand the expansiveness of Love.

You have heard much dialog as to the increased vibrations which are now being showered upon your beloved earth. These vibrations are those of Love and you may access these vibrations through your Sacred Heart and the purity of your thoughts. Thoughts of lower vibrations and negativity will deny your access to the highest vibration of Love. You must keep your thoughts pure and your heart fully open to receive this gift that humanity is now being given. Hold your intentions pure and you will be showered with these blessed vibrations of Love, and the All That Is will permeate every facet of your being.  I am with you always in the Love of The All That Is.  Jeshua

"The power of ALOHA is the power to SHINE LIGHT INTO DARKNESS!  

Aloha ia o'koa pa'ulo "When we meet in love...we shall be whole!"

THE SUBTLE SACRED SECRETS OF ALOHA (c) WAIHO WALE KAHIKO

Ancient OLD secrets are now revealed!

By Dr. Kahu Kahealani Kawaiolamanaloa Satchitananda  

"In ancient times, here in Hawaii Nei, there was no waste, no disease, no family violence, no child abuse, no drugs and no poverty. Everyone's needs were met from the very young to the very old even while living on an island with limited resources.  Awakened teachers known as Kahuna had mastered the subtle sacred secrets of Aloha and they taught the respected ruling elders who taught the parents who taught their children the sacred ways of Oneness, being in right relationship with the Divine, with the Aina and within their own hearts, a state of Lokahi inherant oneness with all things. In this way we were naturally connected and consecrated to the Heavens and Haumea, the Earth and All things in between. We were One and there was no dividing line between any two people and no dividing line between man and spirit. This was the way of Aloha-love.This was the Way of the ONES Who Know No Separation and See No Division.   We knew nothing was impossible when you were Aligned with Lokahi, Radiant Harmony and Kept the Pono, Sacred Protocol, Sacred Rules of Right Relations, we had Mana, great Sacred Power, the power to attract all of our needs met, the Power to Command the elements and the Power of Love for one another, the family, ohana.   We are Divine Light Carriers, Ka po’e Ao Hiwa or Keepers of the Sacred Fire, an Ancient People of Peace from the beginning of time. "Ike 'ia na maka i ke Ao “The eyes have seen the Light. " We believed that What is above, the same below, Heaven manifesting on Earth by Divine Right.   On“The Defined Path" Ke Ala Iki, we knew that we are each born forever under the protection of Ancestors, Aumakua, Ke Akua connected to the Divine by 3 Pikos located on the top of the head, the navel and the genital areas. These energetic vortex make up the Sacred Bowl of Light, that contain the Sacred Mana within your heart which must be kept Aligned, in Perfect Balance and Perfect Harmony to facilitate spiritual evolvement of Wailua, seat of spirit or soul and maintained in spiritual integrity.   We knew that the goal of life was to Honor All things Sacred and the Sacredness in All things, to walk up the mountain of life protecting your Sacred Mana, your Aloha, your Sacred Bowl of Light. Malama Mana’o, Protect and Take Care of the Oneness, Harmony, Aloha of your Thoughts, your way of Seeing with the Heart divorcing duality and only Seeing Oneness. Ku’ialua, Hawaiian martial art is the practice of power over Death and Destruction. Ku’ialua understands the mind-Mana’o is your first and best weapon or worst enemy. Every thought, feeling, perception, spoken word and performed action impregnates the universe. It is never forgotten and it is never overlooked. The universe is always vibrationally mathematically exacting in its law of attraction. The thought vibrational resonances are carried in your sacred bowl of light so Malama, take great care.   There are only two kinds of thoughts, Aloha and Ha'ole and they can never hold the same space. There are only two states of mind, inner conflict state and awakened oneness state. Aloha thoughts, you see with the heart, are life enhancing, radiant, vibrations that are aligned with the nature of love, the nature of the Divine. Aloha, which in its’ most hidden deepest Kaona meaning, means that which is aligned with or facing the sacred breath, the Ha breath of Ke Akua, Creator, God.  Aloha, Being and Basking in the Love in the Divine Presence in the Divine Present Moment in Sacred Relationship as Me and as You.   Ha'ole thoughts, seeing with the head, are those that are life destroying, contracted, ego dominated thoughts that see division and separation and the need to defend, justify and attack. The deeper meaning of Ha'ole is that without or separated from the sacred Ha breath of God. If you perceive division in your heart and mind, a stone would be placed in your bowl and suffering and lack would be created in your experience of the world. This would be a teaching moment for learning lessons and life is a school and we are here to learn and grow.   We were taught that the goal of life was to move thru life by walking up the mountain, protecting your Aloha, your bowl of light. That life was filled with lessons to learn, teaching moments along the way and if you became angry or jealous, you would drop a stone into your bowl of light and it would leak your Mana-sacred power. If your bowl became filled with stones, that you would become a stone that cannot grow, but at any moment you could turn your bowl upside down letting go of the stones and your bowl would naturally be once again filled with golden light, your natural Aware and Awakened state of Aloha, your natural state of Divinity. This is the power of Pure Aloha, an Awakened Heart, an Awakened Mind.   There are three Ihi Kapu Sacred Laws of Aloha and an Abundant Life. 1) Love All that You See with Humility. 2) Live All that You Feel with Reverence. 3) Know All that You possess with Discipline. We are spiritual warriors walking the narrow path. The Great Ones say it may not be easy. Some of them took 7 years to master each one of the Sacred Laws, some took many lifetimes. Reincarnation is God's way of generously giving us all the time we need to learn and align with the Ihi Kapu Sacred Laws of Pono/Aloha. We now have the power of inner mastery becoming sovereign human beings. Hawaiian Sovereignty begins within!   Ancient ones believed that all time is now, that we are each creators of our life's conditions. The most powerful place for making change is in the Now by protecting your heart, protecting your Pure Aloha. Healing Olelo, chants, hula are the heartbeat of people...sacred sound and sacred actions heal and realign pono righteousness, divinity, change DNA, correct disharmony, purify sacred bowl of light, carry the sacred vibration, all knowledge is in that resonance. We have the power that no one nor any circumstance can take away, the power of ALOHA is the power to SHINE LIGHT INTO DARKNESS!  No matter how dark it gets.   We Understand that You Are Never Hurt by Any Situation in Life and Cannot Be Victims of Any Event. It’s only a teaching moment for lessons learned. You Are Only Hurt by Your Own Thoughts Perceived About the Situation which Place Stones in Your Sacred Bowl of Light. This leaks your Mana-Sacred Power and Lowers Your Sacred Vibration. You have the Power Over those Stoned Thoughts of Division and Separateness. You have the Power Over Your ALOHA, Power Over Your Life. Understanding that you have the power of CHOICE in this Divine Play of Consciousness as we walk up the mountain of life is delicious Nectarian Freedom to live life always in a Healing State of Aloha, Love.   We were told of the Great Huli when the earth would turn in 2012, a time when our Heads will be placed Lower than Our Hearts when we let go of ways that have not served us and return to PONO when we feel before we Think. We must prepare by becoming vibrationally correct having a sacred bowl of light that is filled only with radiance of aloha, love, gratitude and oneness, void of all contracted thoughts and feelings. This is the sacred Hawaiian way of Pure Aloha. Imua o ho'opomaika'i o ka makana...Let's move with the Gift of Blessings, the gift of Aloha. Imi ke ola ina Akua… Let’s invoke the Gods to promote vigorous abundant growth and healing on the earth. Living with the power of ALOHA, a Sacred Vibration of the heart will radiate and set Right All Your Relations to Life, to Love, to Health, to Wealth and to the Healing of this world, Haumea. Being vibrationally PONO, in sacred alignment with Love, Aloha is our only protection and guarantee to smoothly, peacefully and joyously transition the Paradigm Shift, the Great Huli of 2012, Awakening into Oneness. Amama Ua Noa! The Kapu is Lifted. The prayers fly free!  

Aloha ia o'koa pa'ulo "When we meet in love...we shall be whole!"

The songs that are playing are by an Irish band, The Waterboys.  Mike Scott's lyrics and music are such an inspiration for me. 

Love, Cosma

Children and animals are the living examples of Love...

  

Love for Friends

“Your friend is the field where you sow with love and harvest with gratitude.  He is your home, he is your table.  Even when he is silent, two hearts continue to talk.

When you have to leave him, don't suffer, for you will see the importance of the friendship all the better because of his absence, just as a mountain climber sees the landscape around him better when he is far from the plains. 

 May you be able to share with your friend all that is good.  Let him know and share not only your moments of joy but also your moments of sorrow.  And know that your friend is not by your side to help you kill the time, but rather to help you enjoy life to its fullness.”  Kahlil Gibran

Love for our teachers and spiritual leaders...

author of "Autobiography of a Yogi"

and

"Man's Eternal Quest"

"This book clearly explains what God awareness is, how it can be developed and why it is the basis of a scientific and practical approach to life.  This wisdom in this book is the empirical testimony of a dynamic spiritual person whose life was filled with the deep inner joy and extraordinary accomplishment born of his direct experience of God."

Aims and Ideals of Self-Realization Fellowship

As set forth by Paramahansa Yogananda, Founder Sri Mrinalini Mata, President

• To disseminate among the nations a knowledge of definite scientific techniques for attaining direct personal experience of God.
• To teach that the purpose of life is the evolution, through self-effort, of man’s limited mortal consciousness into God Consciousness; and to this end to establish Self-Realization Fellowship temples for God-communion throughout the world, and to encourage the establishment of individual temples of God in the homes and in the hearts of men.
• To reveal the complete harmony and basic oneness of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ and original Yoga as taught by Bhagavan Krishna; and to show that these principles of truth are the common scientific foundation of all true religions.
• To point out the one divine highway to which all paths of true religious beliefs eventually lead: the highway of daily, scientific, devotional meditation on God.
• To liberate man from his threefold suffering: physical disease, mental inharmonies, and spiritual ignorance.
• To encourage “plain living and high thinking”; and to spread a spirit of brotherhood among all peoples by teaching the eternal basis of their unity: kinship with God.
• To demonstrate the superiority of mind over body, of soul over mind.
• To overcome evil by good, sorrow by joy, cruelty by kindness, ignorance by wisdom.
• To unite science and religion through realization of the unity of their underlying principles.
• To advocate cultural and spiritual understanding between East and West, and the exchange of their finest distinctive features.
• To serve mankind as one’s larger Self.

‎"Your religion is not the garb you wear outwardly, but the garment of light you weave around your heart. Discover who you are, behind those outer trappings, and you will discover who Jesus was, and Buddha, and Krishna. For all the masters come to earth for the purpose of holding up to every man a reflection of his deeper, eternal Self."  Paramahansa Yogananda 

"The Divine Romance" by Paramahansa Yogananda
This book that contains vast treasures of knowledge for everyone of us and answers so many questions that we have all asked; such as: Why evil is a part of God's creation, mind power can help you lose or gain weight, how to work without fatigue, ridding the consciousness of worry, how feelings mask the soul, do souls reincarnate?, where are our departed loved ones?, take God with you through life, divine communion with God and Christ." 

More Paramahansa Yogananda quotes:

”Rise above the Consciousness of caste, color, dogmatic creed, family, race, nationality, and wealth or poverty consciousness.  Learn to follow the good rules of being pleasant and exercise self-control.  Be kind, abstemious, and moderate.  Do everything which gives you lasting true happiness.  Speak no untruth.  Do not do anything that will cause yourself lasting unhappiness. Avoid untruth, stealing, over-indulgence, worry, fear, anger, greed, jealousy and restlessness.  Learn to withstand heat and cold, and endure sorrow and happiness without mental excitement.  Rise above the sensations of heat and cold, or any other trouble, while still being subject to them.  Meditate by withdrawing your attention from objects of sense, the muscles, lungs, breath, and heart, and concentrate it upon the spine.  Then go out through the medulla into Infinite Space."
from "Developing Cosmic Consciousness", by Paramahansa Yogananda

"Do not expect a spiritual blossom every day in the garden of your life. Have faith that the Lord, if you surrender yourself to Him completely, will bring you divine fulfillment in His time, which is the right time.  Having sown the seed of God-aspiration, water it daily with prayer and right action.  Remove from your mind the weeds of lethargy, doubt, and indecision. When the sprouts of divine perception appear, tend them with devotional care.  One morning you will behold, fully grown, the fairest flower of Self-realization." (P.Yogananda)  from "The Essence of Self-Realization", compiled by S. Kriyananda

"In late July, 1948, Yogananda had an extraordinary Samadhi.  It lasted 48 hours. During this period, the Divine Mother took him all around the universe.  A few of the disciples were present.  Sometimes he would speak to the Mother out loud; then She would answer, using his voice.  When he spoke, the vocal tone was deep, but when She spoke it was in a heavenly, feminine tone of voice.  At one point he exclaimed delightedly, “Oh, now I see how You do it!” She was showing him the mysteries of cosmic Creation."
P.Yogananda: a Biography", by S. Kriyananda

"Mukunda’s meditations were not what one might expect of a little boy. For one thing, he would often meditate for long hours—seven, eight at a time. As he told me, “I would practice Hong-Sau (a meditation technique) for seven hours at a time, until I went breathless.” For another, he often had extraordinary visions.  He told himself, however, “Some day I must have a really long meditation. After all, what are seven or eight hours—out of a twenty-four hour day? Don’t people work that long merely to supply their material needs?” 
One morning Mukunda awoke with the thought, “A whole year has passed. And still I haven’t fulfilled the promise I made to myself! Will a long meditation always wait until ‘tomorrow’? Why not today? Why not this very morning?”  He sat down for meditation. Forty-eight whole hours passed. To Mukunda, they seemed more like forty-eight minutes. During a part of that ecstatic period, his body rose above the ground in levitation."  "P.Yogananda: a Biography", by S. Kriyananda
