God is Within Us

If you look for God in the sky above you

You will only dream

If you look for God within your heart and soul

You will awaken and heal from within

The kingdom of God is a seed of unconditional love within you

Water this seed and it will transform you

From fearful to an embodiment of love

From greedy to selflessness

All your worries will vanish

All your suffering will be transformed

Keep looking within yourself each moment of the day

Keep watering this seed of love within your heart and soul till your last breath

With love,

Johnny

Keep Your Eyes On Love

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

Nourishing the Seeds of Love

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

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

Death before Death

To be truly alive

We must die before death

We must die of the notion of a separate self

We must die of our old ways of living

Burning down our old life and leaving no traces of ourselves

Completely letting go of who we once were

Through death we can be resurrected

Each moment we can be a time of revitalized and resurrection

Each day we can be reborn if we surrender to the power of unconditional love within our heart

Beyond Beliefs

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

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
