A total surrender is required on the spiritual path
Surrender of our fears, worries, and doubts
A total surrender of our will to the power of unconditional love within our heart and soul
We must surrender our addictions, destructive habits and wrong views
Let the power of love transform you from within
Let it heal you and shape you in its image
Humble yourself and you will be free
Surrender everything and you will be liberated from fear, hatred, greed and addiction
At our core
We are holy
We are divine
We are one with God
One with love
At our core
We are Buddha’s
Born in the image of God
Even the harshest, violent and mean spirited people have love at their core
This is why we love our enemies and pray for them
This is why we turn the other cheek to violence and hatred
This is why we show grace, compassion and unconditional love to those lost in hatred and fear.
Your brother,

Shine your light into the darkness
Shine love into the darkness of fear
Shine compassion into apathy
Shine forgiveness into vengeance
Shine mercy into ruthlessness
Shine humility into the darkness of pride
This is the way of true transformation
The light of unconditional love will always transform the darkness of fear, hatred, and greed
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
All of these quotes from Jesus speak of one thing, an open heart to unconditional love of all beings, even your enemies
With love,
Johnny
When you realize that everything is holy
That everyone deep down is divine
You will not steal
You will not lie
You will not cause harm to others
When you realize through meditation that all is born in the image of God, divinity, and love
You will be truly blessed
Many parts of us forget this noble truth and stray us away towards greed, hatred, and fear
Causing much necessary suffering and pain in the world
You have been taught that the homeless are less than
But I’m here to say that they are just as divine as you and I
They are still born in the image of God’s love
They have Buddha nature within them
They are divine beings of the universe
Look within your heart and you will see this too
To cast judgment on them is cast judgment on the divine
Love your neighbor as thy self even if they are homeless
We are here to awaken to the oneness of all beings and show unconditional love to our brothers and sisters
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
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
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
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
