In L-O-V-E… and not just because it’s the month of love either

I read another of James Frey’s books recently. In “The Final Testament of the Holy Bible”, Father Mark says:

“…and I thought constantly about what he had said to me the last time I had seen him, how he had whispered life, not death, is the great mystery you must confront in my ear. And he was right. I had spent my life worshipping death, fearing it, obsessing over it, and living my life according to what a book says will happen when it comes. I had functioned as a misionary of death for a dead church, praying to a dead man, and I came to understand that it’s no way to live, and that living is all we have, and all we will ever have, and that is not to be wasted. That love is life. That life isn’t worth living without love.”

Sure, I don’t agree with everything quoted; I do believe that “living” isn’t all we have… for we will always exist. I also believe that Jesus existed (AND STILL DOES!) and was not only beyond comprehension then, but even now. This will change, but until then, we need to cease believing that someone else is going to save us. We need to cease looking outside of ourselves for answers. It’s a scary step. To actually take responsibility for every thought, word and action; which your life is a result of. No one “up there” is judging you. No one is going to save you. There is no such thing as sin. The only “sin” is denying who you truly are.

Take each moment now and LIVE only for NOW. Forget about what was – for it is past. It has no bearing on who you are now… unless you let it. Unless you are living in the past. But that’s not living. The future has not yet come… indeed, does it even exist? It is a result of our thoughts now. We can visualise and dream and it will become. To obsess over it is futile. Put it out there and LET IT GO. NOW IS ALL THERE IS. NOW IS ALL THERE EVER WILL BE. THERE IS ONLY NOW.

Love, love, love,
