Dear Human Being



Dear Human Being,

For whatever mysterious reason, I feel compelled to write to you in this very moment. Here I sit, with you in my mind and in my heart. I want the BEST for you, my friend. Let me begin by saying that I have tasted both pleasure and pain in this lifetime. They, in and of themselves, are not the problem. Indeed, there are no problems, only situations. However, for many human beings, and perhaps even for you, as well, there is sometimes the experience of suffering and separation.

Do you suffer sometimes? And how would you describe this suffering? Most people will tell you that you suffer because you believe yourself to be limited to the body and the mind. You perceive yourself as a separate human being who was born and who will one day die. But, is this actually true? Can you know without a doubt that this is true? How?

I have tasted freedom. It is present, even now, within me and within you. For now, I shall call this freedom, the awareness of awareness. Perhaps this sounds too simplistic for you. Let us find out, my friend.

If we gift ourselves with just a few short moments; moments where we don’t believe anything, where we don’t go to the mind and ask it what is happening, what do we then experience? What if we just simply sit and watch awareness? What if we don’t believe our thoughts and don’t act on our desires and fears. What happens then? What arises? And what watches that which arises? Are we able to do this? Do we have the option of simply watching awareness without acting in any particular manner? Are we able to let go of all concepts and means of identification? Can we remain naked, empty, and thus pure? Are you pure timeless being or are you a limited physical form? Go deeper. Go into the void. Don’t be afraid. The void is your true nature and source. From god you have come and to god you shall go. Indeed, even now you are the Absolute Supreme Reality; One without a second.

It has been said by many sages and saints, that the true nature of God is Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. Many also define God as Love. Therefore, is it any surprise, that when we, as human beings, as consciousness, decide to live lives of love, we experience happiness and joy, purpose and meaning? And cannot the opposite also said to be true? That when we lead lives of hatred and violence, laziness and indifference, we experience darkness and depression, suffering and misery? Therefore, my dear friend and fellow human being, why not choose heaven over hell? As much as you can, I urge you to live love. Start the day with love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love, and end the day with love. This is the way to God. When all human beings decide to live love and treat each other with love, then and only then, shall we begin to see the creation and emergence of heaven on earth.

Love all and serve all. Do good and be good. Sing and chant the names of God. Help your fellow neighbor. Service to man is service to God. Make good use of your life and don’t waste any time or resources. Continually surrender your life to God until He has completely dissolved your ego and has absorbed you into His eternal being. Be honest. Allow thoughts and emotions to come and go and see them and deal with them as if they were merely passing clouds. You are the sky; vast and omnipresent.

I don’t have much more to say to you, my friend. Please remember that God is always with you, in you, beside you, above you, and below you. Speak to Him always. Listen to Him even more. Follow your heart. Follow your joy. Follow your bliss. You are free to do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. As much as possible, try to do good and remain as non-violent as you can. Understandably, life feeds on life. Some of that is inevitable. When you can, restrain yourself from harming or hurting others. Instead, spend each moment trying to bring happiness and love to others. Be compassionate. Be kind. Be understanding. Give to others what you want to receive yourself.

Finally, always remember that you are Awareness, Beingness, Consciousness, and Love. You are Timeless Being. You are Freedom itself. All is One and the One is All. Be at peace. Rest. Relax. Enjoy your life and best of luck! 

Love Always, Me
