Only that in you which is me
​ can hear what I'm saying.

I dropped into my soul
and left my ego behind. ​

Being here now—when a stroke
has happened this is what I AM.
This is aging…WOW!

It’s all new…AH!
When comparing past and present,
we are NOT living in the present.

Send love to any ache or pain…
 when you are in soul
 you see physical body hasn’t
much to do with you…like having an old Ford

Identify with one another via souls..NOT our bodies…
When you identify with soul, then other people
 look like souls and love one another.

Love everybody
…judging mind doesn’t allow that…
Love everybody and tell the truth.

​In aging, we’re content…
Just Here..
…then you delve into the moment.
Moment has no time or space
The moment when your baby is born – Wow!
Just this moment…this moment is precious…
No time.  No space
In the moment……is GOD…
…is your guru….and you…
In this moment.

AFTERNOON

​Who can free himself from achievement
And from fame, descend and be lost
Amid the masses of men?

He will flow like Tao, unseen,
He will go about like Life itself
With no name and no home.

Simple is he, without distinction.
To all appearances he is a fool.

​His steps leave no trace.  
He has no power.
He achieves nothing,
has no reputation.

Since he judges no one
No one judges him.
Such is the perfect man:
His boat is empty.

~ Chuang Tzu

No more comparing past with the present…

SoulLand is a spiritual Disneyland
 
What is different in Soul Land?
I am with my guru.
...in a place called imagination & I live there now primarily.

I surrender that I”m captain of my ship…I am nature----like a tree.
 
In aging, we’re content…
Just Here..
…then you delve into the moment.
Moment has no time or space
The moment when your baby is born – Wow!
Just this moment…this moment is precious…
No time.  No space
In the moment……is GOD…
…is your guru….and you…
In this moment.
 
These are moments like this in our lives…
achievements, friends’ meeting,
beautiful sunset…a turtle coming to say “hello”…
a moment –
but those moments you cherish….
but THIS moment
NOW  (after a stroke)
you live your life as moments…
 
Approach of Death –
The Path & Death are the same.
Moving into SoulLand…
First half of life is looking at family
Second half of life is looking at Death…is WOW!
 
What Moments of Wow lead us to Soul Land?
Witness your life change from identifying with mind to Witness.
 
Motives in life!!
You are done with them.
Sex is a motive.
You no longer re ruled by sexual desires…
they’re no longer “Now”
A freedom from desires
A freedom from attachments.
 
Joy – How To Cultivate?
Joy is part of SoulLand
It’s in your soul
things in Soul:  Love, Compassion, Widsom, Peace & Joy
 
I AM MY SOUL
I Love Everything…EVERYTHING!!!

​When you love something…someone…
…this brings you into Oneness.
 
When you feel that Oneness…AH!
Joy! Joy! Joy!
....O Joy....
A Beautiful Way to Connect
(Last “O Joy” above..said in a Whisper)
 
SoulLand a great Destination Spot
 
Love everybody & tell the truth
Connect the Joy
Each moment is a word.

I used to lecture
and now they wheel me out on stage
and I just sit and love everybody…
and they don’t complain.
 
The Love/Joy in the soul…once you get that..
identify with it
then you Radiate it & other souls…they feel that…
and they are not interested in their egos…
…they are in SoulLand 

 I can feel my Joy and YOU can feel it too.
 
Aging into Awakening
I go Inward
Here is Home
Home in SoulLand
 
Mantra of Aging
is officially
WOW!
 
You are your soul
we can talk soul to soul
