When Christ is Within me

When Christ is within me

I become like a child again

Joyful and curious

When Christ is within me

I have the wisdom of the cosmos within me

When Christ is within me

True peace and love flow through me

Bringing light into the darkness of the world

Bow Until Your Last Breathe

Bow to your brother’s and sister’s

Bow to the homeless

Bow to the sick and mentally ill

Bow to animals and the planet

Bow to your enemies

Bow to the entire cosmos

Bow to your last breathe

And God will bow to you

And fill you with his spirit of love and peace

If we want to be close to God

We must only strive for perfect humility

I Walk With You Christ

Narrow is this path my lord

Stay near me as I walk into the darkness of this world

For you are the light of the world

May I drink with you at your well

The everlasting source of love within my own heart

May I eat with you

For you are the bread of life

O’ Christ

My soul only strives to be with you

And rest within your love

Oneness with God

“I am in my father

You are in me

And I am in you”

-Jesus

When the holy spirit touches our heart deeply through contemplation and inner silence we can become one with God’s love. You may call this Theosis or Nirvana but in direct experience it is pure mercy and love. An emptying of all notions or concepts of fear, hatred, greed, and suffering. Nothing compares to becoming one with God’s love. 🙏🏻

Look Within

Many look for the Kingdom of God in Church

Many look for the Kingdom of God in the afterlife

Many look for the Kingdom of God in rituals

Those who look outside of themselves only dream

Those who look within their own heart and soul awaken to God’s love right here and now

A Kingdom where love reigns supreme over fear

The light transforming the darkness within and around us

A everlasting spring of love

A sanctuary of healing

Be still and know

🧘🏻❤️🙏🏻

We are Buddhas, We are Christs

To me Buddhism is studying how Jesus became Jesus and how we can become like him too through the holy spirit, similar to enlightenment or nirvana in Buddhism. It’s core belief is that we all can awaken and become a Buddha; actually we already are a Buddha but are lost in our attachments to worldly things and are consumed by our fear, greed, and hatred (sin in Christianity).
Buddha just means awakened one, similar to the title Christ in Christianity. We should not be scared of other spiritual traditions but our own fear, hatred and religious dogma that can blind us from seeing the truth and goodness in all religions. Be curious and open minded. This type of mindset is what Jesus and Buddha had in their times. This is not to assimilate or convert but to build brotherhood and sisterhood.

I found Jesus through a Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh who wrote a book called “Living Buddha, Living Christ” that changed my life 10 years ago.
He dedicated a lot of his life trying to bridge the two religions and fostering brotherhood and sisterhood.

Be Still and Seek the Kingdom of Love Within

If you focus on the surface of life

Everything appears as suffering

But look deep within yourself and you will see the ultimate reality beneath the surface of life

You will see that at the center of your being and all creation is God’s unconditional love

Take refuge in this sanctuary of unconditional love within your own heart and soul

It’s water so pure

Its love is everlasting and healing

Be still and seek the Kingdom of love within you

The Holy Spirit of Love

When my mind is still through meditation I repeat Jesus’s words and the holy spirit is drawn to me and transforms me into Christ in that moment.

No words can describe this spiritual experience of deep love for all beings.

In those moments you are fully liberated from all fear, hatred, and greed.

You are truly alive.

When the holy spirit is within you, everyone is your brother or sister and you feel a deep river of joy rush through your body. ❤️🙏🏻
