Calm Within the Storm

No matter how strong the storm is

There is a blue sky above

The sun shining light into the darkness

On the surface of life all we see is suffering but if we look deeper we can see an ultimate dimension

Behind the dark storm of fear, hatred, attachments, and greed

Behind the suffering on the surface

There is a mysterious source of unconditional love

Infinitely compassionate and healing

This mysterious source of unconditional love goes by many names

Some call this God(holy spirit), Buddha nature, or the Dao

Every sage, guru, Buddha or prophet experienced this deeply and helped others so the same

We must develop deep faith is mysterious source of love to keep going on this path

With this faith our fears will vanish and we can help others see the light

This is the way of transformation and healing

This is the path of the peaceful warrior

Surrender everything and you will be liberated

The Good News

Look within yourself first

There is a jewel within you

A Kingdom of unconditional love

A sanctuary within your own heart

Come dive into the depths of it’s healing water

Bask in it’s unconditional love that transforms us to our core

Abandon everything to this

Abandon all selfishness, hatred, greed and fear

Abandon all your attachments

Letting go can be painful but once we have the courage to abandon ourselves, the light of love brings us everlasting joy

Jesus’s Resurrection: A Beautiful Parable

I received a vision or deep insight 1 year ago that radically changed me

In deep meditation I suddenly was transported to a desert in the middle east. The Buddha and I meditating while watching Jesus dying on the cross. I could feel the sun and wind as if I was literally there 2000 years ago. Buddha asked me a simple question, what can you learn from this? I open my eyes and see Jesus die and resurrect. A deep insight touched my consciousness as healing tears roll down my face.

The more I surrender to God’s infinite source of love, the more I’m resurrected in the image of Jesus

The story we are told by most Christians is that Jesus died for our sins and that he literally resurrected. I’m not here to uplift this tightly held belief but to add a more deep and healing interpretation of those events. Even if I don’t believe what they believe, I will give them grace and love.

To be a follower of Christ we don’t need to believe in creationism, literally resurrection, or any dogma from the church. All we need is to look within our heart and open it to unconditional love, then you will know Christ deeply. Still your mind through the breath and open your heart to love.

This is not my opinion or belief but of my personal spiritual experience.

Not an act of faith but the ultimate dimension behind the suffering of the world.

So to surrender to God is just to let go of all self centeredness like greed, hatred, and fear.

To allow this infinite source of love transform us.

Jesus spoke in parables and God speaks to me in parables, so could Jesus’s resurrection be a parable as well? A beautiful parable that is practical, logical but able to heal people right here and now on this planet.

Meditate on this and let the infinite source of unconditional love heal you from the inside.

The way out is within you. 🙏🏻

With love,

Johnny

Prayer of Emptiness

May I empty myself to you God

So you can fill me with your divine love

May I empty myself of all self centered ideas

So you can fill me with your divine grace and humility

May I empty myself of all hatred, fear and greed

So you fill me with your infinite compassion

I empty myself to you God

I surrender to your unconditional love

Letting Go of Old Identities

Today I fully let go of my old identity

I stand today liberated from any attachments to who I once was

I am reborn today

I am not a gambler

I am not a party boy

I am not a ladies man

God has granted me a new identity

A path of love

A path of compassion and forgiveness

My new identity is of a peaceful warrior

I am a poet

I am an adventurer into the unknown

I am a mystic

A follower of God’s unconditional love

Thank you, thank you 🙏

With love,

Johnny

Within Your Heart

Burn down all churches, temples and mosques

Burn down all holy books

But don’t burn down the human heart!

That’s where God is

The seed of true unconditional love is within us

This seed is patiently waiting to be watered but we must still our minds first

In stillness the holy spirit can transform us

But only if our heart is open to unconditional love

The Revolutionary Message of Jesus

Jesus was a revolutionary
A revolutionary of unconditional love
Of radical peace
Anyone who speaks his name through the lens of fear, hatred or greed does not know his way

Jesus’s way is of the peaceful warrior
He knew that only unconditional love can bring peace to the world

Fear and violence will only continue our own suffering
Only unconditional love can save us
It can liberate us from all self-centeredness
His way can free us from the shackles of greed, hatred and fear
Resurrection is possible if we surrender as he did on the cross

We can be reborn each moment if we follow his way

We don’t need to be a Christian to follow Jesus’s message of unconditional love for all living beings

We only need to have an open mind and a compassionate heart

With love,

Johnny Hoffman
