A Rant About Spiritual Wealth

If you get everything you want all the time then you never take the time to understand most painful lessons, which are, likewise, the most fruitful lessons for your soul. You need to know what's truly important outside of the physical world, and unless you go through suffering, you never really get the chance to fully comprehend that. When I think of my deepest goals in life, allI really want to do is connect to the my fellow human beings and share the love I've learned--to make sure that whatever I do in my life is an expression of that. I thank God that I've had the chance to learn the truth, and also, that I am open enough to hear new truths each day. I love people, I love this earth and I want to give back to it. I love every creature on the planet,  I love God, I love that I am a part of everything and everyone. Love is the answer. The only answer that heals. The only answer that can take you through to the end and beyond. Everything good is coming to me and I'm giving out everything good...In other words I will not give the world energy that does not serve it and I will not accept energy that does not serve me. I have unyielding gratitude for everyone I meet and I learn from both every blessing and every suffering in my life. I have spiritual wealth. This can never be taken away from me. It is possible to have every possesion, every title you wear and even every person taken away from you...But no human or outside force can ever take away your spiritual blessings-the love you give and receive, that’s yours to keep. If you can base your life on these principles, dispose of your ego and learn to look at all outside forces (your status, job, possessions) as something that can serve your inner life, but that never define it, then, and only then, are you able to find meaning and peace.



I hope you just enjoyed my random stream of consciousness about the meaning of life.

Love,

Lo :)

The First Americans

We love to call out Genocide
A nation built on "Savior's" pride
It seems so easy to forget
Our country rests on unpaid debt

They took advantage of your kindness
Trampled down your history
Stole from you with rampant blindness
Burned the roots of wise oak trees

We thought we had it figured out
The new found world, so big, so bold
We all know the words of our story
But the first American's goes untold.

Notice how they never smite us
They just wish we undersood
That each spirit is connected
And only love will do us good.

So if you can before you leave
Take a moment to learn
The story of our true forefathers
It's time their truth be heard.
