Spring Is Here: Resurrect From The Self

Last updated on: March 20, 2013 at 11:34 am By David Matthew Brown

As we welcome spring, we welcome new beginnings, and as we do that it is a time to embrace the inner peace and love that we are. That inner light of yours is yearning to shine. I would invite you to buy for $9.95 on Amazon the book called, “The Book Of Light: The Heart Opening.” and yes I wrote this book. But this book came from a new beginning. Imagine being in a place in your life where everything... Read more

The End Of Me

Last updated on: March 19, 2013 at 8:00 pm By David Matthew Brown

Inspiration comes from everywhere, I love this song by Jason Grey called THE END OF ME- Enjoy this share!! “The End Of Me” It’s okay, this is just the end Don’t be afraid, this is where it begins, oh ‘Cause everything here had to fall apart But in the ruins of a broken heart I found peace like a river to attend my soul Hope running over when I let go I found joy that was hidden for all these...

Looking at the “S” word

Last updated on: March 17, 2013 at 11:45 pm By David Matthew Brown

As many of you know I am recently divorced. I must admit the journey has been a walk, step by step, breath by breath through lots of shame. It seems in culture that desires so much from our ourselves, that we seem to get lost in the experience itself. Letting us be defined by it. As a man, I have felt criticized by feeling my feelings, be called weak, not macho enough, never living up to someone else’s dreams for... Read more

Gift Wrapped In Love

Last updated on: March 14, 2013 at 10:50 am By David Matthew Brown

This path is quite difficult at first, we must acknowledge this. But because it is difficult it is worth it. What is difficult? Letting go of your pride, titles, who you think you are, your being right, and let it all go, to the source of all life. Then you will find great joy, love, and your life will be restored in a natural state. Read more

Peace is not a Thought

Last updated on: March 13, 2013 at 9:37 pm By David Matthew Brown

You are already enlightened now. But you fight it, because you tell yourself you can't be enlightened yet because this hasn't happened or that, or some big revelation, and you are right. Because it isn't big, loud, it's simple, profound, and here. There is no path, no road, no getting point, it is here. It is difficult, but I have faith that you will discover it. What is difficult is to let go of approval, proving, finding the right answer, doing the right thing, finding the right partner, and resting in nothing. We live in a world describing everything and yet we must bring our weary tired stories to the indescribable to have our lives restored. What do you really know now? What is really going on?

The Metaphor Of Love

Last updated on: March 12, 2013 at 10:18 am By David Matthew Brown

The smell of the rose filled up the garden. The woman smiled and prayed again over the rose, during her prayer she stopped, and felt as though the rose was praying for her now. She smelled the scent of the rose, and began to weep. For now this flower which she so loved was loving her back. A miracle had occurred. Read more

Ignite The Light Within

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 4:08 pm By David Matthew Brown

After awhile you begin to simply watch yourself, which comes from deep listening. When we listen deeply with our whole being we become receptors of the presence, and our life becomes presence listening to presence and taking action from the light itself. We are all light reflectors, reflecting the BIG light. To make that switch from outside to inside only takes one thing: Read more
