Seriously?!
What has to happen to get people to take Covid-19 seriously?! I went shopping at Walmart today, and before going inside, I saw a man without a mask, and a random woman walked up to him, without a mask, and started asking him questions… After asking her questions, she thanked him, and walked towards the entrance…Maybe they were exchanging the virus, instead of information…
Once inside, everyone within view had on masks, and some, like myself, also wore gloves… Then it happened! I started seeing people without masks! I wondered how they got inside the store, because right on the entrance, it is posted that masks are mandatory to enter the store! They also have someone monitoring at the door, to make sure a mask is on your face before entering the store…
Seriously?!
Are they entering the store from the Gardening department or some other unmanned entrance? Or are they being “clever” and removing their face coverings after they enter the store?
Can this be another reason for the unexplained spikes of the virus?
My niece and I had a conversation today about people not taking this pandemic seriously…She is 20 years, and she said that the young people in California aren’t taking this seriously… She is practicing social distancing…wearing gloves… wearing masks…sometimes two masks she said…she’s on hold from working…she’s concerned and worried that people’s lives are hanging in the balance because everyone should care for themselves…and others.
Seriously…everyone must cooperate with due diligence if we are going to emerge from this with a chance at being able to enjoy our tactile ways of living again…virus-free means mask-free…and that will come about when a vaccine is tested and deemed safe and available to the public…which is in the works… until then, we must practice the protocols required to protect us from this deadly illness…
To those who are doing your part and being mindful of others as well as yourself, you are to be commended, once again…
Please, please…think about those who are doing the right thing by you, as well as themselves…in wearing masks…gloves…and social distancing…
Seriously…our lives are in one another’s hands…literally.
We have all been charged to be our brothers and sisters keepers… 
We have been called unanimously to serve one another in kindness and compassion…The ending of this pandemic depends upon everyone doing their part to be a better version of themselves…by doing the right thing…by being selfless in thinking of others…while protecting yourselves…
Seriously…can we make the grade?
What do you think?
We will see…
Seriously!!!

Today, I learned another valuable insight on the road to self-awareness and self-realization…It is imperative to let go of fear…Fear robs one of many opportunities to grow and prosper in spirituality. In order to grow, we must also free ourselves from “expectation.”
Part of Love’s evolutionary process is “UN-conditionality.” Everyone…and every situation we encounter in life is rich with blessings…We must learn to “let go” and let God show us “The Way.” We as humans hold on to so much worthless “fodder” believing it to be what is priceless…Material things…Money…They are not priceless…They are the foundation upon which we build our fears…believing these “things” to be Priceless…
Love…Honesty…Truth…Integrity…Love…Loyalty…Honor…Love…Truth to Self…Faith…Love…Surrender…Unconditional…Love…Believe…True to Others…Love…Compassion…Love…Love…Love…
A few of the off-shoots of Love…
These are all branches from the Tree of Love…Yes…as there is a Tree of Life…There is also a Tree of Love…
When a realization opens up another avenue of Light within, it is then we know that we have opened up another path to the “better” of our being…Nothing compares to that ray of “knowing” that emerges…
Insights are our building blocks of Change…
When we change ourselves…we change the world.
Never corrupt Love with “expectation.”
Never measure Love with conditionality…
Never barter…compromise…or cheapen Love by manipulation…
Never violate the sanctity of Love by using it to gain…
Once you understand “The Way”, Love will unfold in all of its glory and transformation…in miracles inconceivable to human comprehension…
Insights…
Powerful realizations…
They change us…and empower us…
To change the world…
This…Is…Independence…

Let Freedom Ring…by lifting up our voices…and joining in unity to unite a country founded for freedom…
Let Freedom Ring…by taking to the streets and protesting…that Black Lives Matter…indefinitely…
Let Freedom Ring…by standing up against Racism…Racial Disparity…Racial Injustice…Discrimination…with heart…soul…and conviction…
Let Freedom Ring…Challenge and dissolve Hatred with Love…Go toe-to-toe to pulverize and sweep Prejudice…into oblivion…
Let Freedom Ring…Do away with the Elephantine Dissidents…and their leader who crashed the Oval Office…by Voting Them All Out…come November 2020…
Let Freedom Ring…Be vigilant and protective of yourself and others in practicing social distancing and wearing face masks during this worldwide, new plague… named Covid-19…here to rob you of your freedom…and perhaps…take your life…
This…Is…Independence!
This is the Proclamation…The Declaration of Independence is just the tip of the iceberg…
Independence is the fact or state of being independent…Independent means being free from outside control not depending on another’s authority… question all sources that strive to take away freedom…from inside country…or outside of the country. The price of sacrificing independence is too great to sit back in blank acceptance of any challenge against the right of independence…and freedom.
Always choose to fight the good fight…This …Is…Independence!
July 4th, 1776, established a way of life…a way of freedom…a way of independence…meant for every man, woman and child, living in America…Look deeper into its meaning…it was deeper than just fighting the British for independence…
Remember your honor…remember your freedom…A high price was paid…and is still being paid…for Independence…
Don’t throw it away…
Happy 4th of July…America.
Unconditionally…

Can we find “unconditional” in a conditional world? Conditional “reality” is the creation of human consciousness. Conditions are the building blocks of movement in our lives…and as a consequence, in our world. Can we grow in understanding and acceptance to move from conditional enough to experience life…without conditions?
Are we willing enough to be willing, and participate? To touch and be touched? To feel everything in surrender? Can we open our arms to life…and let our hearts be touched…without conditions?
Think about it…
I’ll give you gas money…if you drive me to work…
Come over…I’ll make dinner…if you buy the food…
I’ll do your Science homework…if you pay my way to the Sci-Fi Comic Con, next month!
I’ll babysit, if you buy me that new pair of shoes I saw the other day…
If you cover for me in the meeting tomorrow, I’ll spring for lunch!
We can take that vacation we always wanted…if you take on another job for the summer!
Conditions…conditions…Can we do anything without “padding” the outcome?
We have been “conditioned” since birth!
“If you eat your vegetables…you can have ice cream for dessert!”
We talk about love…and loving unconditionally… Love has the biggest conditional price tag of all… Look around…Black Lives would matter, if love were unconditional…Women would be recognized on an equal scale to men, for their achievements and contributions…if conditions did not prevail…Conditions believe that women cannot manage a household…be intelligent… be feminine…and hold down a job outside of the home!
Conditions affect anyone and everyone who is perceived as “different than the norm,” from the physically challenged…to the elderly…and everyone in between…
Miracles come to open hearts and minds that have surrendered the need to control…and the need to know…The mind that can divest itself of conditions…is “present” and free from one of the greatest chains of bondage on the human heart…and has mastered one of the greatest lessons of humankind, on the path to Love…
The beginning to unlearning the conditional training, is to come out of hiding…stop being “lost”… and be True To Yourself. No one likes conditions…Be true in your heart and your mind…”Do unto others…as you would have others do unto you.” Without conditions…
Learn to Love…Without Conditions…
Learn to Give…Without Conditions…
Learn to Receive…Without Conditions…
Learn to Listen…Without Conditions…
Learn to be Compassionate…Without Conditions…
Learn to be of Service to others…Without Conditions…
Without Conditions…
Make a list of your most outrageous conditions…read it for the absurdity…wince…laugh…cry…shake your head in disbelief…Did you really say that!? Did you really demand that?! Did you really have that expectation on making that condition?!
Yes…You did…
How much did you change? How much did you grow? How much do you regret?
Frame it as a reminder…toss it in the trash…or burn it in eulogy…
Tomorrow is another day…
Take the first step…
Lose the conditionality…
Unconditionally…
And grow your heart…
Unconditionally….
Purity of Heart…

“Blessed are the pure in heart…for they shall see GOD.”
Once in a great while…someone comes unto your path…and they show you things about life and you…that you were never conscious of…because you thought you were on the right path…and you were honed in on your self-realization…better than average…so you thought… The Teacher can always be the Student…and the Student…can always be a Teacher…that is the first commandment of spiritual evolution…discount nothing…and always walk with an open heart…
Purity of Heart would not ever condemn or lay blame
Purity of Heart would understand and love more
To unlock, open and pass through…a closed door
Purity of Heart would not shame or seek to tame…
Nor game…or defame
Purity of Heart knows only Love…
Given divinely from above
Purity of Heart is a blessing…to all.
Especially when love is given in comfort…
After a betrayal…or fall…
Purity of Heart does not keep score
Or tally mistakes…
Purity of Heart is always constant and never forsakes
Truth…Trust…Honesty…and Honor…
Are always tested…
Purity of Heart passes no judgments—
It knows your heart…and is completely invested…
Purity of Heart…is a rarity among humans, you see…
It is a state that few achieve in a lifetime…realistically.
We are flawed, broken…and in need of repair…
A fate we all share…
Purity of Heart is patient…and doesn’t dwell
On what’s not there…
It gives love…which manifests whatever is needed…
With care…
Purity of Heart is Humankind’s Savior…and Grace
Those who have received…are humbled profoundly…
To have gazed upon his…or her face….
To recognize this phenomenon, is even greater still…because there are those who walk among us…like ancient relics from the past…when virtues…values, principles and the bond of your word was accepted and honored in agreements of any kind…and that is how they live their lives…with purity of heart…
For some…it is easier than others…but guess what? We can all achieve this blessing…if we become the student…instead of the teacher…
Isn’t purity of heart worth the transition?
Take a seat…in the classroom of Life…
It’s never too late to learn…
And pay attention to those who come to you with a pure heart…
The face who is delivering the lesson…is a Messenger of God.
Take the extended branch of Enlightenment….
Thank you, Eric…for showing me such purity….
Celebrate Your Innocence…

Simplicity…the lack of knowledge…purity…Remember when? We can always choose to take it back…the sanctity of the finer side of being a child is still locked somewhere within each and every one of us…
One way to find the way back to love, is to summons that part of us when innocence was our way of discovery along the path of life…
Therefore, everyday…celebrate, and call forth your innocence…with the heart of a child…
Yesterday, the sky grew dark, and before I knew it, the rain came pouring down. I went downstairs to the door, took off my shoes, and went outside into the pouring rain! I stood in the front yard, as my neighbors sat on their porch, safely enjoying the downpour, and suddenly, I just started to whirl like a dervish as the rain soaked through my clothes! It was so wonderful! People passing in cars, waved and smiled…another neighbor and his daughter started walking in the rain, and I stopped my dancing to just stand…with my face looking up into the falling rain…enjoying this manna from heaven, which also cooled down the humidity in the air. I took my bare feet to the water in the street, stepped into the puddles and kicked up my heels, splashing and enjoying the freedom and cleansing this summer rain had gifted…
Then…it was over. The rain had stopped, and the sun found its way out again…I went back indoors, still soaking from the rain…my pants, wet up to the knees from the puddle playing…I was still reeling with excitement of this simple pleasure!
Innocence is release…Innocence is the purity of your peace within…Let it go…and remember who you are…
We must remember to let life be sometimes…to step back and take a moment to be…ourselves.
Stop being the expectation of someone else…stop denying your innocence…your purity…your simplicity…Go fishing…take a walk…go on a pilgrimage…fly a kite…go skydiving…blow bubbles…go river rafting…go on a safari…climb the Himalayas…bird watch…go to the Grand Canyon…Dance!
Find your peace…celebrate and release…reconnect with your innocence…embrace the childlike simplicity…that you’ve locked away within…
Once you have refreshed and renewed your spirit…carry on with the tasks at hand…with simplicity…and purity…and a happy heart.
Remember when?
No need to remember…you can always “be”…anytime…anywhere…
Celebrate, and release…return to innocence…
Return… to you….
