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
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
May my enemies sleep well tonight
May they feel safe and loved
May they heal
May they be joyful like small children
For they are not my true enemy
My true enemy lies within my own greed, hatred and fear
With love,
Johnny
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
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
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
Abandon everything
Abandon all greed, hatred and fear
Abandon selfishness
Abandon all attachments to temporary pleasures
Those who have the courage to abandon everything will be rewarded
Yet do not focus on any reward because this itself is self centered
Just focus on your breath and open your heart
Let unconditional love purify your heart and soul from within you
No matter how strong the storm is
There is a blue sky above
The sun shining light into the darkness
On the surface of life all we see is suffering but if we look deeper we can see an ultimate dimension
Behind the dark storm of fear, hatred, attachments, and greed
Behind the suffering on the surface
There is a mysterious source of unconditional love
Infinitely compassionate and healing
This mysterious source of unconditional love goes by many names
Some call this God(holy spirit), Buddha nature, or the Dao
Every sage, guru, Buddha or prophet experienced this deeply and helped others so the same
We must develop deep faith is mysterious source of love to keep going on this path
With this faith our fears will vanish and we can help others see the light
This is the way of transformation and healing
This is the path of the peaceful warrior
Surrender everything and you will be liberated
Come Christian, Buddhist, and Muslim
Come atheist and agnostic
Come here
Look within yourself first
There is a jewel within you
A Kingdom of unconditional love
A sanctuary within your own heart
Come dive into the depths of it’s healing water
Bask in it’s unconditional love that transforms us to our core
Abandon everything to this
Abandon all selfishness, hatred, greed and fear
Abandon all your attachments
Letting go can be painful but once we have the courage to abandon ourselves, the light of love brings us everlasting joy
With love,
Johnny
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
