Title: God is Love
Post by: mantidman on March 19, 2013, 11:37 am
All religions tell us that God is Love.  Anyone can turn the bad into good by becoming a conduit of Love.  Giving love to everyone, without expecting anything in return.  Mystics tell us that anyone who chooses such a path will quickly notice major changes in his or her life.

When our mind is free of warring emotions and the belief in separateness,
Then we will have no fear.
No matter where we are on the path,
whether we are just beginning or we've practiced
for years, we're always stepping farther into
groundlessness.

Enlightenment is not the end of anything.
Enlightenment, being completely awake,
is just the beginning of fully entering into the

Unknown.

May I be a guard for those who are protectorless,
A guide for those who journey on the road;
For those who wish to go across the water,
May i be a boat, a raft, a bridge.

May I be an isle for those who yearn for landfall'
And a lamp for those who long for light;
For those who need a resting place, a bed,
For all who need a servant, may I be a slave.

Nice poem

May I be the wishing jewel, the vase of plenty,
A word of power, and the supreme remedy.
May I be the trees of miracles,
And for every being, the abundant cow.

Like the great earth and the other elements,
Enduring as the sky itself endures,
For the boundless multitude of living beings,
May I be the ground and vessel of their life.

Thus, for every single thing that lives,
In number like the boundless reaches of the sky,
May I be their sustenance and nourishment
Until they pass beyond the bounds of suffering.

and love is God  ;)


"Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion."
"Find out for yourself what is truth, what is real. Discover that there are virtuous things and there are non-virtuous things. Once you have discovered for yourself give up the bad and embrace the good."
The Buddha

This is pretty much how I live. I have noticed a difference in my life. My reputation in my hometown is that of honestly and reliability. Everybody trusts me. And you know how much of that I take advantage of? None. None at all.

I see a lot of people hanging around, disrespecting others, not paying debts, saying offensive things, ect...... And they all ask me why such and such was willing to do ______ on my behalf. I just look and laugh. Its a hard thing to explain.

You say God is love... well God is also the opposite of love ... God is everything, good and evil. He/She will kill such as quickly as He/She will nurture and protect . Yin-Yang shows this clearly... the seed of evil is in good and the seed of good is in evil. It's all the same energy expressing itself in different ways. :)

But of course there is yin- yang,
the good and evil, the give and take
I was not referring to one particular god....
I cannot take credit for the poem
although I wish I could
The poem is but one version of the Bodhisattva
I am a being striving for awakening
May you give and receive LOVE from all points of light


Just did not see the point in spamming the board for my 50 posts..
thought I would get some ideas out of my head
I am not new to the road
Best wishes to all on the forums
May truth prevail above all others

God is needed for those with low self steem so they believe there is some outer force that may help them when in need.
