The 22 Songs of Joy- read them, catch any reaction or quick judgment. \u00a0Then simply be with the sentence and contemplate. These sentences are not made for the mind.\u00a0
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing is realized in one that is all. A light shines always. Sometimes the bugs come and it looks clouded.\u00a0 If your attention is on the bugs, and not the light then life becomes clouded. And you ask questions- \u201cWhere did the bugs come from? How did they get here?\u201d The question leads to more questions and needs more answers, \u00a0never satisfied by the answer. Can these bugs ever be satisfied?\u00a0 But in the present, they are just bugs.<\/li>\n

\u00a0What has been found and never lost?<\/li>\n

Being is joy, and not being is simply not joyous.<\/li>\n

To believe, concentrate, focus, motivate, are ideas built on the same structure- thoughts. Other concepts that cause emotional images and ideas and separation are war, violence, which is the same as judgment, complaints, gossip, and shame.<\/li>\n

Every religion is half way to the truth and whichever one you follow you must go the rest of the way.<\/li>\n

There are no mistakes, only of being not present.<\/li>\n

God is not an idea, image, man, woman, concept, name, belief, faith, religion, and\/or attached to anything. \u00a0 It is everything and nothing.<\/li>\n

Each word is precious. Using the word to express peace, love, and creativity.<\/li>\n

Instruments have a sound, unique to themselves. You have a sound unique to you. The sound is off when you are no longer in peace.\u00a0 For peace is natural, disharmony is not<\/li>\n

\u00a0 When the heart is heard, stillness is met, and stillness is simply no more thoughts.<\/li>\n

\u00a0 Witness the coming and goings.<\/li>\n

\u00a0 Nature is a great example of allowing.<\/li>\n

\u00a0 Believe nothing, for everything is in perfect harmony.<\/li>\n

\u00a0 Many students want answers, but few listen to the answer. So they continue to gain more and more answers. Until they give up looking and rest in being.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
15. Awareness listens unattached to everything. No labels, dreams, ideas, or concepts. Awareness is a sense<\/p>\n
16. \u00a0Like a bird knows when to sing, and that same movement will speak.<\/p>\n
17. \u00a0Be still.<\/p>\n
18. \u00a0Being is alive.\u00a0 Life being moves when moved only.<\/p>\n
19. \u00a0Laughter is a wonderful sign.<\/p>\n
20. \u00a0Grace transcends beauty.<\/p>\n
21. \u00a0Forgive everything to be present.<\/p>\n
22. \u00a0These are only words.<\/p>\n
