The more fear, greed, and hatred that is in your heart
The less room there is for God’s love
We must empty our heart of all worldly attachments
Even ones that seem righteous and good
For God must possess the heart alone

You Are Worthy of Love
The widow struggling is worthy in the Kingdom of God’s love
The immigrant persecuted is worthy in the Kingdom of God’s love
The prostitute is loved
The thief forgiven
The blind given sight
The homeless given shelter and food
All are worthy in the Kingdom of God
May we all rest in his love
No matter how lost you are in shame, guilt, and self hatred
You are loved and matter
🙏🏻❤️
Grace to All
Do not look at the sins of your brother with harshness
Forgive them
Have mercy on them
Show them the grace bestowed to you by Christ
Always point the arrow within first and surrender yourself to Christ
Only then can you reflect Christ’s infinite mercy and love onto the world
Do not judge or be harsh with others
For those who judge will be judged in the end of times
Spread goodwill in this world with a pure heart
Shine God’s light into this world and glorify your father in heaven
Die of yourself and let Christ live within you
Mercy for All
May I have mercy for others
May I show them grace
May I show them forgiveness
May I show them true love
For God has shown be infinite grace and love
May I share his love with all
Bringing light into the darkness of the world and thus glorifying the light
The Ultimate Reality
You have heard that the good fights the evil
But I say the compassionate, merciful and loving take good care of those who are suffering from hatred, fear and greed
Like a big brother taking good care of a younger brother
Many religious people do not understand the ultimate reality
That good doesn’t fight evil
For fighting hatred only causes more hatred
The ultimate reality is non duality
The light transforms the darkness within us and the world around us
In Christian terms, God with his infinite mercy takes good care of Satan like a doctor taking care of a sick patient. If you imagine a war between these two forces, you have lost everything Jesus taught. Jesus said “love your enemies and pray for those who spite you for you will be children of God.”
This is non-dualism at its highest.
The only cure for the sickness of hatred and fear is unconditional love
If you don’t see the world through dualism; violence, war, and confusion will be inevitable
But if you see the world through non-duality; peace, love and forgiveness is possible right here and now.
Your brother,

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
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
Mother Earth
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
Love for Mankind
Some have given up on humanity and focus on our destructive nature
Some believe only will power and technology will save us from self
destruction
Some want to leave earth behind and escape into the sky
My truth is that humanity is worth
saving
Humanity is worth unconditional love
But we must return to little children once again to save ourselves from destruction
Children who haven’t closed their hearts to love
Only true unconditional love can save us
No amount of willpower or technology will save us from the greed, hatred and fear inside us
Only forgiveness, love, and radical nonviolence can liberate humanity
Don’t lose hope
Don’t close your hearts and become cynical
Keep your heart open to love as children do
Your brother,
Johnny
The Awaken One Within
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
