I hope all is joyful and beautiful in your world

INSPIRATIONAL MOMENT:

Come Together. Right Now.

(Random Thoughts and Tim's Daily World):
 
Another sunny day here is Southern Oregon.  Hope all is
well with you and yours!!! 
 
Today, for the first time, Love Works Daily has been accepted
and will begin running as a national syndicated column on the
internet.  And surprise, surprise.... I will get paid and
everything.  Well, not paid much,  but some depending on
how wide the syndication runs.  I'll hope for the best. 
My wife has been nagging me for years to try and get these
published on a larger scale.  This week, like so many things,
it begins.  I am being greatly blessed!
 
Happy June!!!
 
 
 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
(Brand New and Classic Love Works Essays 2001-2007)
 
INTEGRITY
 
Today is day #3 in a series of letters on various definitions of
the word.
 
3. wholeness: the state of being sound or undamaged ( formal )   Their
refusal to participate in the experiment will undermine its integrity.
 
I had an experience once that changed by life.
The experience is usually referred to as an NDE, or near death
experience.
 
I will save the specific details of the experience for another writing,
but during the experience I seemed to have been "given" or "received"
information about how things work.   This, I have come to find out, is
not all that unusual for NDE's.
 
I'm going to share a tiny bit of what was revealed to me.
Take it for what you want, and leave the rest, as some would say.
 
I don't attest to this being THE answer, it was the answer as I could
understand it. I share it only for your consideration.
 
1. You are not an individual.
 
2. You are an integral part of a complex "infinite larger self" or    
"higher power".
 
3. All things are infinite.
 
4. All things being infinite, all the integral parts are equal.
       (infinity = infinity = infinity)
 
5. All things being equal, all things are possible.
 

BANG! WHAT THE F^%)#&#? Are we talking quantum physics or what here?
 
Probably. Regardless, don't spend too much time reading the five points
unless indeed you have nothing better to do for the rest of your life.
Entire careers could be spent arguing for, or against, any of the above
statements.
 
Whatever TRUTH it may contain, I believe that it IS science, and
someday humans will use enough of their brain capacity to grasp those
truths. I certainly do not grasp them very well, nor can I explain
them very well.
 
And even given that I could explain them even remotely in a correct and
clear manner, I have absolutely no idea how to harness them or bring
them forth into physical manifestations.
 
But it did explain alot to me, and that's why I shared it here.
 
It explains, to me, INTEGRITY as it apply to the universe.
 
It explains, to me, the power of prayer and why it WORKS in all
religions, not just some. (REPLACE the word INFINITY with the
word GOD in the above 5 statements if it helps to clarify). It explains the power of positive thinking,
and mind over matter. It explains miracles. To me, it explains the
meaning of Life ITSELF. It explains why LOVE and TOGETHERNESS
works....and HATRED and SEPARATENESS DOES NOT (activities associated
with the word EVIL are always about HATRED and SEPARATION). I got MY answers from it
and it gave me GREAT HOPE and GREAT JOY!
 
So, what's my point....I could go on and on and on for days trying to
explain the five points above....but TODAY I must have a point....
 
Whether you like the terms I described above, as how things work....
or you have different ones....
 
Most people believe we come from the same source, we are not alone and
without purpose, there is a higher intelligence in the universe,
and that wonderful things can happen as a result of the power of the
mind and our faith in these.
 
So, You are important.
 
You are an INTEGRAL part of the universe.
 
All things have INTEGRITY as a result of a cooperative effort with
all other things.
 
Does anyone reading this believe that HUMANS will survive after we kill
off every other living thing on the planet?
 
Do you believe you would survive if you were the last HUMAN alive?
 
Do we really appreciate the number of other living things we depend on
and that depend on us for survival?
 
Call it an ecosystem...call it Mother Earth....we're all in this
together, folks.
 
Not one single living thing can survive isolated and separate from all
others. Period. Hard Science. (Forget points 1-5)
 
The universe requires YOU....to have INTEGRITY (to stay together and
keep going). You have to do your part.
 
This is why we have a primary instinct to STAY ALIVE.
 
We are needed. You are needed!
 
You may not realize how many other living things are counting on you
today. We depend upon each other for food, for shelter, for
reproduction, just to name a few.
 
We may be simply counting on each other for companionship.
Imagine yourself with no friends, family, or pets. Imagine that
there were not even any WILD animals or insects or plants. Imagine a
world that was just you...your house...and no other living things.
 
You would simply die of loneliness.
 
I believe so would the animals and plants. Scientific evidence shows
that even plants respond positively to human interaction, and weaken
when it is withdrawn.
 
Yet we build more walls, more fences, more compartments to keep
everything separate. More houses, more hi-rise buildings, more
cells and cubicles. How sad!
 
Hell, we can't even seem to keep it together as one species....
the next guy might have the wrong skin color or national origin,
or worship on the wrong day with the wrong symbols in their building...
we can't have that can we???!!??
 
We belong together. Living things thrive with other living things.
Together, not separate, all things are possible.
 
All creatures great and small.....
 
INTEGRITY means being together, being unified, acting as a whole.
 
Have INTEGRITY...and do the right thing today!!
 

Love In Thought! Love In Word! Love In Action!
 
Love To You Today!
 
 
 
"May we endeavor today to increase our understanding and appreciation of
what others have given and contributed to us. And develop constant,
mindful consideration of how our thoughts and actions will BENEFICIALLY
CONTRIBUTE to others"
 
The best to you today in discovering the answers to life's difficult
questions!
 
 
 
A Final Thought:
 
Love is always the right thing to do. Even if it isn't the easiest
thing to do.
 
May we have compassion for the struggles of others, wisdom to
acknowledge our own, and courage to address them both every day.
 
Respectfully,
Tim
