PEARLS FROM EDEN
God is love -
Man is learning.
Life is loving and learning -
Life is basically learning to love.
Birth and death are vertical journeys -
in between, we're horizontally on our way.
Way and Goal
are like man and God.
All our fights are like snowball fights -
when we become more peaceful, thaw sets in.
The love we want,
is a desire of our ego -
the love we can give,
is a gift from heaven.
Love courts sympathizers -
malice seeks accomplices.
Love is at home
on the sunny side of the soul.
Heaven is made of love -
so we're close to him when we love.
Who really is friends with the truth,
can't be stupid enough to start a flirt with lies.
Until we understand the lessons,
God is watching us make mistakes.
On earth you can become a liar -
in heaven there's no reason for that.
You have no enemies -
you declare war on others.
The war in your head
puts the guns in your hand.
Heaven is
where God and our hearts meet.
Heaven is full of love -
the world is full of stupid things.
Our life comes from God -
our suffering from ourselves.
You are the builder
of all your thought buildings,
from architects to interior decorators.
If the world owns you,
you always want to own more.
We don't need lies -
our mistakes are bad enough.
We make unnecessary enemies of ourselves -
and then fear defeat.
We like to be friends with errors and illusions,
to save us from the truth.
Things only have weight,
but they're not important.
What you're complaining about,
you might as well smile at them.
The heart is
the crown of the mind.
Accept your face,
because that's all you're gonna get.
Your face can be a sun,
when your thoughts are cloudless.
In life you can give a lot -
in death everything will be taken from you.
Time is only a river,
that flows into the Sea of Eternity.
Wars are the summits
in the mountains of human stupidity.
There are spears,
they turn into boomerangs on the way.
You can't control what goes on -
but you can decide if you want to run or not.
To be wise means:
to widen your heart until it touches the sky.
Angels and ego are in every human being -
and both struggle for supremacy.
Happiness is a child of good thought -
If the angel triumphs in you, you will have peace and quiet.
If you want to go to heaven,
love is the way and the signpost in one.
A you is the bridge
from indifference to love.
We differ
mainly with regard to our mistakes.
Learning means
that it becomes brighter in heart and brain.
When the horizon widens,
heaven is getting closer.
How the moonshine is sunshine,
your life is God's life,
your heartbeat is God's heartbeat.
Life is
a walk by the hand of God.
Life asks you to open your heart,
so it can put good in there.
Nothing is there for us to judge -
it's all there, so we can understand it.
All paths on earth
have heaven as their goal.
God's love is here -
but we're usually somewhere else.
All separation is error -
the oneness is the truth.
Body and soul are connected with each other
like hydrogen and oxygen in every drop of water.
First we draw boundaries in our minds -
then we go to war to defend them.
Happiness is not constant sunshine,
but the sunbeam that breaks through the clouds.
We believe in the images we see,
because we made them ourselves.
Instead of loving God.
we cheat with our idols.
The loved one is an oasis,
that no one else can hold a candle to.
Every improvement begins
with faith in the good.
As long as we think we have to protect ourselves.
as long as we feel we must defend ourselves, we will resort to rifles.
There are no bad people -
there are only those who are wrong.
Being satisfied means
to give yourself peace.
Goodness recognizes goodness in the other.
Only those who are blind can see enemies.
Only pride knows defeat -
humility gains experience.
What you lose,
makes room for what you can win.
If you're unhappy, you've just forgotten,
laughing at what makes you unhappy.
Disappointments are diversion signs on wrong roads.
Rich is who gets enough of what he has.
You're a king, enough of what you have -
you're a beggar, you want a lot of things.
We often think it's our Fort Knox,
which is actually our Alcatraz.
You need things less
than the realization that you don't need it.
The maturity of a human being
you can tell by the breadth of his heart.
Being is an ocean -
all our ideas are just rowboats.
Who can pay for it,
can have anything that doesn't matter.
The truth lies behind the knowledge -
the wealth behind the property.
Don't dream of what you don't have -
you're happy about what you've got.
Knowledge leads to distance -
Wisdom leads home.
What is, is a secret -
what we mean to know is a sham.
If we knew, we'd keep quiet -
all talking is just questions.
You have your wishes and your will -
but God has the wisdom, which is good for you.
We can't find the truth -
just cobblestones to get there.
This world is full of questions -
the afterlife is full of answers.
We can't think of God -
we are thought of by him.
We wait for God as we imagine Him to be -
and we don't realize that he's there for who he is.
Because God loves you,
you can make his will happen.
What can be taken from you in life,
is nothing against what you've been given:
life.
The heart is wise -
the head can only be smart.
God speaks to them,
who hear with their hearts.
The head builds walls -
the heart opens doors.
Love breaks down the walls
and build bridges out of the stones.
To come to one's senses means:
see the one thing behind everything.
We are imperfect as long as we are on earth,
for we are on earth because we are imperfect.
Every man is on his way to God -
only the detours are different.
God sees our limits,
but he can't be stopped by our tollgates.
God is at home -
but we're on the Crusades.
You may not have wanted a lot of things in your life,
but God wanted everything.
The visible is temporal -
Eternity is invisible.
Love is falling into the heart -
To die is to fall in God.
In death, we not only lose all our possessions,
but thank God also our greed.
Death takes life as we know it -
he brings the truth as we don't know it.
Death is a journey
home from school.
Like fish from the water
we are carried by God.
Tolerance knows people of other faiths -
Hate only unbelievers.
At leisure you approach God -
but in must be to the devil.
Idols demand that you run and march -
God, on the other hand, comes to meet you with open arms.
We fear what we forget to love.
Love is the letter slot of heaven:
when we love, we write letters to God.
The heart gives -
hands only give away.
In your hand lies only giving -
what you get is not in your hand.
Forgiven is the completion of giving.
We can only see the notes -
We can't hear the symphony.
He's close to God,
who loves and doesn't lose that love,
whatever he may lose.
The ego lives by striving -
the self through God's love.
God won't let a tree grow into the sky,
because then no one would be able to harvest their fruit.
God is a visionary:
he sees us as we can become.
