Today I will abandon all self centered ideas
I will abandon all greed, hatred, and fear within my heart
Empty my mind of selfishness
Instead I will only water the seeds of unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion and grace
I will water these seeds within me, other beings and the universe
Bringing transformation and joy to myself and to all living beings
Nourishing the planet with love with each step
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
Many streams go to one ocean
Many paths to the mountain top
May we be liberated from religious dogma
May we be free to see the truth within all spiritual traditions
May we be curious and open minded
Like a child with a beginners mind
All we know is that we know nothing for certain
Pride, arrogance and closed mindedness keep us from seeing this beautiful truth
We don’t truly know what will happen to us when we die
We will never know what God truly is in this life time
All war and violence stems from believing we have the truth or that we are the chosen people
When discrimination and hatred enter the human heart, suffering and war are inevitable
May we stay humble and full of grace
Your brother,
Johnny
Beyond all beliefs
There is a sanctuary
Let’s meet there
A land of no hatred
No dogma
No sinners
No fear
No religion
Only compassion for all beings
A kingdom of radical peace
A land of unconditional love for all, no matter how lost they are in the darkness of hatred and fear
Lets meet there right now on this beautiful planet
With love,
Johnny
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
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
How we look at Earth
Is how we look at women
Is our planet disposable or precious?
Is our mother earth here to be exploited or to be shown unconditional love?
Is earth just to produce for us or is she divine?
We must look at mother earth through the lens of unconditional love to see this.
The same goes for women.
Do we take for granted our Earth as we do our women?
Or do we pay gratitude and love to both?
With love,
Johnny
Beneath the hatred
Beneath the doubt
Beneath the fear
Beneath the greed
Beneath the addictions
Beneath the suffering
There is a gem
More precious than diamonds
Beneath the chaos is a deep source of unconditional love
A love so deep and healing
A love that can liberate us from fear
This is the mission of my life
To dive deeper into this source of unconditional love and let it transform me
We are all born with the capacity to awaken and become enlightened
With this source of love we can help the world heal from hatred, fear and violence
We can walk more and more like Jesus did on this earth
We are all Buddhas(awaken one) to be
Don’t doubt or limit yourself
With love,
Johnny
