I'm Either Going To Have

The Universe Is In The Habit Of Making Beauty. There Are Flowers And Songs, Snowflakes And Smiles, Acts Of Great Courage, Laughter Between Friends, A Job Well Done, The Smell Of Fresh Baked Bread. Beauty Is Everywhere.

Healthy Mysticism Praises Acts Of Letting Go, Of Being Emptied, Of Getting In Touch With The Space Inside And Expanding This Until It Merges With The Space Outside. Space Meeting Space; Empty Pouring Into Empty. Births Happen From That Encounter With Emptiness, Nothingness. . . . Let Us Not Fight Emptiness And Nothingness, But Allow It To Penetrate Us Even As We Penetrate It.

The Prophets Preach . . . That Pleasure, Not Will-power And Coercion, Is How You Most Deeply Transform People.

A Civilization Built On Dualism And War Within And Between Persons, One That Puts Its Most Creative Minds And Its Best Engineers To Sadistic Work Building More And More Destructive Weapons, Is No Civilization At All. It Needs A Radical Transformation From The Heart Outwards. It Needs To Outgrow And Outlaw War Just As In The Last Century It Outlawed Slavery. The Human Race Has Outgrown War, But It Hardly Knows It Yet.

What Is Common To All Paths That Are Spiritual Is, Of Course, The Spirit-breath, Life Energy, That Is Why All True Paths Are Essentially One Path, Because There Is Only One Spirit, One Breath, One Life, One Energy In The Universe. It Belongs To None Of Us And All Of Us. We All Share It. Spiritually Does Not Make Up Otherworldly; It Renders Us More Fully Alive.
