How wonderful to go beyond wanting and fearing in your relationships. Love does not want or fear anything.

The word Buddha comes from the Sanskrit word Budh, meaning, to be awake. So Buddha is not a name and ultimately not a person, but a state of consciousness.

Throughout history humans have inflicted countless violent, cruel, and hurtful acts on each other, and continue to do so. Are they all to be condemned; are they all guilty? Or are those acts simply expressions of unconsciousness, an evolutionary stage that we are now growing out of? Jesus’ words, “Forgive them for they do not know what they do,” also apply to yourself.

You find God the moment you realize that you don't need to seek God

Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

The little saying, 'Be still and know that I Am God' ... contains the entire wisdom of religion in those few words.
