The mind is the flames; ever-changing, illuminating and destructive burning heat. The soul is the bush; unchangeable, eternal, supporting the flames but not transformed by the flames. The mind is wisdom, sometimes. The soul is love, forever....

When work is just work and not fun, something is not working....
Divine love is compassion, treating all others as we would treat ourselves as we see others as not other than ourselves, imperfect and perfect simultaneously. Animal love is being "in love." When we are in love, love is a veneer that masks the otherwise clear imperfections of those we love. We treat our loved ones with love but not others who we see as imperfect. Moreover, when we are no longer in love with our loved ones, we see their imperfections. As nothing but the universe as a whole is perfect, if we accept our individual imperfections instead of deluding ourselves by being in love we can begin to experience divine love....

Consciousness makes music and verse from a crazy and noisy universe. Let only those with feet on the ground travel to where the universe is being bound.

(1) If we don't have it, we don't know it and therefore we can't identity it when it comes our way. Hence, we should not seek what we don't know. (2) We can't find something outside of us that which is not us. Us and everything else is one thing, infinite manifestations of the universe. Upon realizing our oneness with everything, we realize our seeking is like a dog chasing its tail to the point of frustration and exhaustion. (3) We need to give in order to get. Love is about sharing with others, treating others as we would wish to be treated. There is no love unless we can give and receive it. (4) Whatever you think it means....
