LOVING OTHERS & THE POWER OF MANTRA
Most everyone loves others, to some degree, but how many of us spend time and energy Specifically to practice loving others? How real is our claim if we do not act on it regularly?

We can all help when we happen upon someone we are in a position to help. That's good, but what about the other perhaps 95% of our lives?

I want you to discover something... it's the power of Buddhist mantras. I say 'Buddhist' mantras because these are born from the root of Compassion, which means, they are all done with the overriding intent to bless, love and benefit All Beings. And they are the most powerful prayers I have ever experienced.

If you engage seriously in this practice, I guarantee you, your heart will blossom. Very often it may glow like the baby Star it is and you'll feel this love-warmth filling your chest, almost itching to shine and share to others...
This kind of practice gives such meaning and fulfillment to one's self, and of course brings one the best possible karma, equal to the sincerity and determination of your loving intent.

I would be happy to direct anyone interested to avenues of studying and practicing these incredibly powerful mantra-practices. Thank you.

...LET GO FURTHER
Practice letting go: it's like peeling through the layers of an onion, one by one.
(It may even make you tear up a bit, but this is normal!

You just sit, let go of what you notice you're hanging onto at this moment, and then seek to Let Go Further. As you proceed you will discover more and more what you are hanging onto, even things you didn't even notice before.

First you may begin releasing your momentary thoughts, and then emotions, and then maybe some resentments, or guilt, and eventually you start chipping away at your more personal conception of self, your ego identity.

Letting go is like rowing your boat out into the ocean of freedom. Be courageous, be ultimately humble, and just keep going. Eventually, you will arrive at calm seas in an ocean of Bliss.

Is separation real? Are things, people, truly separate?

All are comprised of the same 'stuff' -- consciousness, and matter, existing in space. The edge of one body is not a boundary, for there continues the same ocean of matter in space. Physics has shown that all matter is basically hollow--empty space, so there can be no true wall of separation. All is made up of the same, and exists in one UNDIVIDABLE ocean of matter existing in space, with consciousness permeating (perhaps) it all.

If separation is not ultimately real, then it is only the continual projections of a delusional, untrained mind that upholds the illusion of separation.

So, Watch your thoughts, loosen your attachment to the constant thinking. As you are able to let go of the continual stream of erroneous, dualistic thinking, the separation will fade naturally.

..Inquiring further?
Ask yourself: how long do you want to live under the illusion of separation, to constantly project yourself over and above the rest of life, as more important, and remain in a separated shell of yourself?

If you 'stand out' in your mind more than the rest of life, that is ego.
It's not like you can say 'oh I value all life equally' and yet remain so focused just on yourself out of habit. Your entire focus, the orientation of your mind, has to shift from focus on the 'little you that you think you are' to focus on the Whole, on essence, stillness, peace, on non-separation, non-ego: that is focused on the Truth, and eventually seeing this clearly.

But remember: it is not so difficult as we make it out to be. What we are doing is returning to the NATURAL state of mind. Just let the dualistic thinking subside: stop asserting your own self importance, seeing and rooting these out in even your most subtle thoughts, and your oneness with All will arise naturally.

When the clouds part, the blue, clear sky and the radiant light appears naturally, effortlessly.

If you get to the point where you feel your prayers with every fiber in your body, you will transform the world AND you will radically transform yourself.

When you feel the earnest intent of your prayer so vividly, you will literally be creating the answers to your prayers (through 'your' Higher Mind of course). The prayer cannot not be answered because it already IS so very real inside your being.

Do what you do in the outer world,
but Keep your connection to the inner.

This is where Life is really, while the former is the APPEARance of Life.

The path of real evolution lies in growing beyond the little human self - and so, the Shift is from "self" awareness to Group Awareness. It is to be very present and compassionately aware of all around us...which is very different from just being concerned about our little selves.

Making this shift takes a heroic selfless determination...but the Shift must ultimately be made if we are to evolve in our real, grander being.

What more proof do we need, to finally accept that All is One, that we are Not Separate..?
Quantuum physics showed us this without question: matter is Not Substantial; in fact it can blink in and out of existence instantaneously!

So how real is your 'separate' human identity? ALL is one Ocean of Energy, of Life. Let us daily remind ourselves of this and shed the illusion.
It's so much more fun being One. : )

If we wish for a better world, then we need to consistently act on what we know helps it - buying organic, eco-friendly, human and animal-friendly products. Recycling, reusing.--Doing whatever it takes to promote that better world.

Creating a better world is about building character. I dare say that this is the reason FOR the world's need of improvement - to inspire us to create that better world. It's about evoking an inner response, inner growth--the only thing that ultimately matters.

Never give in to despair: Your dreams ARE meant to come true!
We are eternally creative and powerful beings. We manifest any and everything we put our hearts into. Sure, it may not come quick and easy, but what would we learn if it did? Would we grow if we did not have to first attain?

The dreams we came to manifest on Earth already exist. They are just awaiting our belief and action to manifest in the world.
