Shaking Your World Free

Last updated on: November 8, 2012 at 10:32 am By David Matthew Brown

So imagine spending most of your life in this statement, "I am not enough", then you decide that doesn't work anymore, so you change it to, " I AM LOVE". Well expect an earthquake, a big one. Because your world will shake it self out, everything will fall apart. And the only ride you can hop on is I AM, as the I AM brings forth LOVE as the experience. That is why words are important and abiding in the I AM (God) is faith. Because faith is the unknown, you have left what you have known, "I am not enough" to now entering what you do not know, which is LOVE. Read more

OSHO: Fear Of Commitment

Last updated on: October 2, 2017 at 6:44 am By David Matthew Brown

The same happens in other human relationships: a man goes from one woman to another, goes on changing. People think he is a great lover; he is not a lover at all. He is avoiding, he is trying to avoid any deep involvement because with deep involvement problems have to be faced, and much pain has to be gone through. So one simply plays safe; one makes it a point never to go too deeply into somebody. If you go too deep you may not be able to come back easily. And if you go deeply into somebody, somebody else will go deeply into you also; it is always proportionate. If I go very deep in you the only way is to allow you also to go that deep in me. It is a give and take, it is a sharing. Then one may get entangled too much, and it will be difficult to escape and the pain may be much. So people learn how to play safe: just let surfaces meet — hit-and-run love affairs. Before you are caught, run. Read more

The Book Of Light

Last updated on: November 5, 2012 at 9:20 am By David Matthew Brown

I am excited to let you know that people are now receiving copies of my new book called THE BOOK OF LIGHT. Yes it small and very deep. My advice to those that are receiving the book is to read it once, put it down and come back and read it again. The mind you will discover will want to get it, understand it right away, and use it. This is not that type of book. In fact this book is quite unique in its construction, it is not linear in the way we are used too, but it is quite linear to your soul. So be gentle, read it, contemplate it, and allow the movement to happen. Use it as a meditation as well. Pick it up, turn to a page and the first sentence you see, read it, and contemplate it.

Got Lost?

Last updated on: November 2, 2012 at 12:02 pm By David Matthew Brown

Is the breath flowing, circular, and natural? Or is the breath choppy, stopping a lot, or even in the upper chest? Let the breath guide you. As this becomes your way of life, you will begin to live from inspiration (IN SPIRIT or IN BREATH). When we trust our storyteller mind more than the breath, we seem to live more from lack and limitation and judgment. When we begin to live in the breath, we begin to shift from the hostility of the presence, into the friendship of the presence. Read more

Desiderata Poem by Max Ehrmann

Last updated on: November 1, 2012 at 6:57 pm By David Matthew Brown

Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Read more

The Story of Jesus is You?

Last updated on: October 29, 2012 at 11:19 am By David Matthew Brown

I must admit that I have had trouble with how the main interpretation of Jesus has been looked at. One of the best spiritual books written is the bible, no doubt. I have taken the bible as literal and have taken the bible as fact, and now my journey has led me to believe that the bible is not fact or even history Read more
