"The
essence of God, of Buddha, of Allah, is love. When we make the choice
of love, that is the highest choice, the noblest choice, which is
our true Self." |
|
"To
know God or to know yourselves, is as easy as turning over one's
palm. It is just like looking to the front or looking to the back.
Looking to the front, we see God, we see ourselves. Looking to the
back, we just see a mundane, human, mortal being."
"It is not by talking, not by listening, not by just believing.
It is by knowing, it is by seeing, and it is by truly experiencing.
Then we really know." |

"Now
it is just up to us to try to remember or not! If we want to touch
God, as one of us, Hes even manifests as one of us. For example,
Jesus, Buddha, and Mo-hammed, are all the personal, individual manifestations
of God for us to love, to see, to look at, to touch, and to believe
in. And we still can contact these Masters if we raise our consciousness
to their di-mension, which is higher than the physical consciousness
of this planet. If I can, you can...." |

There
are many choices we can make in life, and depends on what choice
we make, we will become that being that represents the choice. Over
the time, again and again, we keep making different choices, to
be human beings, to be angels, to be devas, to be one with God,
or yet again, come back to human life in order to remember again,
or relearn again, the whole process. And when we remember, when
we relearn again that we are from God, that we have Buddha nature,
that we have the Holy Spirit that lives within ourselves, at that
time we say that we are enlightened. |
