Do not seek enlightenment or God outside of yourself
Everything you strive towards is already within you
Be still and open your heart
Do not strive to be a Buddha
Your inner most self is already Buddha nature
Your inner most self only desire is to be like Christ
The kingdom of love is like a seed within you
Water this seed and let it transform you from the inside
No matter how dark it is outside of you
There is a light within you
Keep your eyes on this light
Let it guide you out of the darkness of greed, hatred and fear
Follow this light of unconditional love and you will experience true liberation and joy
Let it transform you and heal you from within
If we keep our eyes on the darkness we will sink into the depths of fear and despair
Keep your eyes on the seed of unconditional love within your own heart
Be still and know true unconditional love
With love,
Johnny
Abandon everything
Abandon all greed, hatred and fear
Abandon selfishness
Abandon all attachments to temporary pleasures
Those who have the courage to abandon everything will be rewarded
Yet do not focus on any reward because this itself is self centered
Just focus on your breath and open your heart
Let unconditional love purify your heart and soul from within you
Come Christian, Buddhist, and Muslim
Come atheist and agnostic
Come here
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
With love,
Johnny
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. 🙏🏻

May we have the courage to sit down with our enemies
Look into their eyes
Seek to understand why they harm us
To truly love someone we must first have the courage to understand them
Keep asking questions and seek to understand with curiosity
Soon you will see the suffering in their heart and mind
They were born into the suffering of war, violence, and greed
Taught wrong perceptions by their ancestors and society
If you look deeper we can see that our enemies were once innocent smiling babies
They were not born with hatred and fear in their hearts
With this deep insight, compassion and understanding will be born
This deep love will be liberate us from hatred and violence
And a river a joy will rush through us
This is the way of the peaceful warrior
To love our enemies and pray for those who spite us
With love,
Johnny
Softness will always prevail over harshness
Love will always prevail over fear
Peace over war
Like water washing over jagged rock
Unconditional love has the power to shape us with patience, humility and grace
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
When I look within my heart
I see your infinite love for all creation
When I clear my mind
I can sense your presence within my soul
We are two but one in this moment
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
