My Friend Harvey.

Last updated on: March 31, 2013 at 8:58 am   By David Matthew Brown

It baffles me to hear that we still struggle on this planet with marriage for same sex couples, what I learned is love is love. Harvey loved life and loved people. He could care less about anything else, but loving. Today he still reminds that love always wins. You can fight it, create rules, separate, do everything you want to keep it away, but love will win... Read more

Good News: It’s Either Love Or Withhold

Last updated on: March 30, 2013 at 10:21 am   By David Matthew Brown

We have a wonderful opportunity in every situation to love. Give and receive love.  Simple.  Yes some have come into our lives it would seem from our limited perspective to cause hurt, pain, destruction, or lots of nonsense, but when we reflect on this, we will discover that we have done the same to others. As we grow inward in love for ourselves, and stand more in integrity and alignment in love, it actually becomes easier in understanding, “Forgive them... Read more

There Is Nothing To Find

Last updated on: March 28, 2013 at 11:15 pm   By David Matthew Brown

There Is Nothing To Find By The Beloved In the oasis of our minds, We thirst- The search begins, seeking, this and that- Yet always here We throw away our love For money- it lets us down Yet always here Thoughts form a veil We can not see Do to this strange thing called “me” Yet we are always here Joke is on us- Our questions make us feel good- More knowledge- No real learning- Just words thirsting for the... Read more

Heart Catcher

Last updated on: March 28, 2013 at 1:06 pm   By David Matthew Brown

How does this feel? Stop worrying, start feeling. I love the power of feel. When we bring the word "now" it is abstract, and takes us out of the essence. Feel is the key. How does my heart feel now? IS it uplifted, does it feel down, then turn it around. Trust in the feeling, your feelings, let them guide you. It takes practice to listen and feel. So release judgement and self-rejection, have faith in the feeling, and keep your mind still. There is no power out there, none, it is within. Read more

No Labels, Just Love

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 10:05 am   By David Matthew Brown

Jesus did all these things and got out there and talked about it. Wasn't concerned with changing anybody, "The kingdom is within". His was an invitation to leave everything you know and discover the inner. I am not speaking to religious organizations that propagate being saved, sinning, and making you wrong. What I am saying is once you discover the inner, it your work to stop the injustice, hate, bullying, war, out there with new ways of being on this planet. Look at Archbishop Desomd Tutu, Dali Lama, they are calling each of us to walk in love and stand up to fear. Read more

The Book of Easter

Last updated on: March 25, 2013 at 1:48 pm   By David Matthew Brown

This is a good time to resurrect from yourself. The following week connect with your inner voice. Till all you hear is that voice and nothing else. When you can hear it, go to it, trust, live from it, it is with you, and soft. It speaks of inclusion and stand up for the unjust, violent, unjust leaders, people who take, people who judge, so love is stronger than war, love is stronger than judgement, love is stronger than anything a computer can do, love is our yearning. Are you thirsty for love? Hungry for love? Now is the time to resurrect. NOW. The message of Jesus, Buddha, Rumi is the same, INCLUSION FOR ALL. IF any group, religion, spiritual center, business, corporation is built on inclusion they are not made from love, not God's love, the same love Jesus walked. He never preached death, killing, and stood up against the unjust. Read more

Turning Life Around With Two Words

Last updated on: March 22, 2013 at 9:18 am   By David Matthew Brown

When we try to change people, we are suggesting that they are lacking, when really since there is only one mind, and we are always talking to ourselves, so we are planting the seed that we lack, that we need to change, that we are unworthy. The power of presence is amazing. By offering the power of presence to a partner, former partner, friend, family, and allowing them to be where they are at that moment, you offer them the gift to grow and in turn you give yourself that gift too. Stop changing and start listening without inner commentary on where others are, because the inner commentary is really where you are, not them. Read more
