Love is..
the strongest feeling known
an all-encompassing passion
an extreme strength
and overwhelming excitement
Love is..
trying not to hurt the other person
trying not to change the other person
trying not to dominate the other person
trying not to deceive the other person
Love is..
understanding each other
listening to each other
supporting each other
having fun with each other...
Love is..
not an excuse to stop growing
not an excuse to stop making yourself better
not an excuse to lesson one's goals
not an excuse to take the other person for granted
Love is..
being completely honest with each other
finding dreams to share working towards common goals
sharing responsibilities equally
Love is not a feeling to be taken lightly
Love is a feeling to be cherished nurtured and cared for
Love is the reason for life.

If You Want to Change the World... LOVE A WOMAN
If you want to change the world... love a woman-really love her. Find the one who calls to your soul, who doesn't make sense. Throw away your check list and put your ear to her heart and listen. Hear the names, the prayers, the songs of every living thing- every winged one, every furry and scaled one, every underground and underwater one, every green and flowering one, every not yet born and dying one... Hear their melancholy praises back to the One who gave them life. If you haven't heard your own name yet, you haven't listened long enough. If your eyes aren't filled with tears, if you aren't bowing at her feet, you haven't ever grieved having almost lost her.
If you want to change the world... love a woman-one woman beyond yourself, beyond desire and reason, beyond your male preferences for youth, beauty and variety and all your superficial concepts of freedom.
Look into Her eyes and see-really see if she is the one to bring the axe to your head. If not, walk away. Right now. Don't waste time "trying." Know that your decision has nothing to do with her because ultimately it's not with who, but when we choose to surrender.
you want to change the world... love a woman. Love her for life-beyond your fear of death, beyond your fear of being manipulated by the Mother inside your head. Don't tell her you're willing to die for her. Say you're willing to LIVE with her,
If you want to change the world... love a woman, just one woman. Love and protect her as if she is the last holy vessel. Love her through her fear of abandonment which she has been holding for all of humanity. No, the wound is not hers to heal alone. No, she is not weak in her codependence.
What if peace is a dream which can only be re-membered through the heart of Woman?
What if a man's love for Woman, the Way of the Feminine is the key to opening Her heart?

God's Timing is Right and All Perfect!
God's Timing is Right & ALL Perfect !!
What ever that happens in life, happens for a good reason......so stop worrying about the future and forget the past.
After Sept. 11th, one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had been decimated bythe attack on the Twin Towers to share their availableoffice space. At a morning meeting, the head ofsecurity told stories of why these people were alive......and all the stories were just the 'L I T T L E' things.
"As you might know, the head of the company survivedthat day because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn tobring donuts.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.
One of them missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
One's car wouldn't start.
One went back to answer the telephone.
One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn't get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid."
That is why he is alive today.
Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone.... all the littlethings that annoy me. I think to myself, this isexactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.
Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, thechildren are slow getting dressed, you can't seem tofind the car keys, you hit every traffic light,don't get mad or frustrated.
God is at work watching over you.
May God continue to bless you with all those annoyinglittle things and may you remember their possible purpose.

This WOman Worth
In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he waspursuing the question, "What kind of man are youlooking for?" She sat quietly for a moment beforelooking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really wantto know?" Reluctantly, he said "Yes."
She began to expound... " As a woman in this day andage, I am in a position to ask a man what he can dofor me that I can't do myself. I pay my own bills. Itake care of my household with out the help of anyman...or woman for that matter. I am in the positionto ask, "What can you bring to the table?"
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she wasreferring to money. She quickly corrected his thoughtand stated "I am not referring to money. I needsomething more. I need a man who is striving forperfection in every aspect of life." He sat back inhis chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.
She said, "I am looking for someone who is strivingfor perfection mentally because I need conversationand mental stimulation. I don't need a simple mindedman.
I am looking for someone who is striving forperfection spiritually because I don't need to beunequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers isa recipe for disaster.
I need a man who is striving for perfectionfinancially because I don't need a financial burden. Iam looking for someone who is sensitive enough tounderstand what I go through as a woman but strongenough to keep me grounded.
I am looking for someone who I can respect. In orderto be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot besubmissive to a man who isn't taking care of hisbusiness. I have no problem being submissive... hejust has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't helphimself. When she finished her spiel, she looked athim. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. Hesaid "You are asking a lot."
She replied "I'm worth a lot."

How to recognize your soulmate
The first time I wrote about soulmates on 14 February 1987 in a magazine supplement of a major Philippine newspaper, it was an instant sensation. People started talking about it and many even clipped, reproduced and distributed it to close friends.
The first to talk about soul mates and describe their characteristics ws an American psychic and prophet, Edgar Cayce, who died in 1945. In one trance reading,he defined soul mates as two souls, who after a series of reincarnations together become so close to each other that their destinies are intertwined, and one becomes a helpmate to the other in his or her soul evolution. One is the perfect half of the other, making up a whole piece. You can't have one without the other.
After I wore the article on soul mates, the term became popular in the local media and even in casual conversations. It has also generated a lot of questions, the most common of which is, "How do I know if I have met my soul mate?" The following then are the characteristics of a soul mate encounter: first, an irrisistible force that draws the two together; second, there is absolute certainty that the personis one's soul mate; third, the relationship is total and complete at all levels of their being; fourth, absence of guilt, and fifth, it is soul expanding. Let's discuss the characteristics in a more detailed manner.
Irrisistible Force. When it's time for the soul mates to meet, there is nothing on earth that can prevent them from meeting, no matter where each may be located on planet Earth. They will surely meet. No social, moral, political, racial,legal or religious barrier can set them apart.
Chronological or physical age does not matter. They may be years apart in age, but what is important in a soul mate encounter is that they have the same soul age, not necessarily the same chronological age. They share the same pattern of soul evolution.
Absolute Certainty. When soul mates meet, they recognize each other from the very depths of their souls or being. Sometimes, their mind or intellect may fight the soul recognition probably because of social or religious considerations. But deep in their very souls, they know they are meant for each other. This is evident at the very first meeting. Intuitively, they will know.
Should there be mutual recognition, or is it enough that one knows even if the other doesn't? In a true soul mate encounter, there is at once soul recognition by both partners. They know they have met their other half.
Relationship is total. Most of our relationships with other people are not based on the totality of our being but only on some aspects of it. For instance, one may relate to another on a purely physical level like a one-night stand of sex with an acquaintance or a paid partner. Or one may relate to another on a purely mental state of professional basis, like a business partnership or commercial encounter. Or one may relate to another on a purely spiritual level, like a priest to his parishioners or a friendship that is platonic.
In a soul mate encounter, one relates to the other in totality of his or her being. The relationship is at once physical, etheric, emotional, mental astral and spiritual, with the mental and spiritual levels playing a more important role compared to the other levels. That is why a soul mate encounter is so strong and so irrisistible.
Absence of Guilt. Because of centuries of religious teachings based on fear, sin and eternal damnation, people grow up having a lot of guilt feelings.
A very strong attraction one has towards the opposite sex, for instance, can generate unwanted feelings of guilt. Such an attraction can be mistaken for a mere lust. But in the real soul mate encounter, there is no feeling of guilt at all. You are sure it is the right thing to do, or it is the proper feeling, no matter what the circumstances are.
According to General Jampolsky, "Love is letting go of fear," paraphrasing the basic teaching found in A Course in Miracles which was dictated by a highly evolved spirit to Helen Schucman in the seventies. "The opposite of love is fear," the course says, "not hate."
Soul Expanding. A soul mate helps you in your soul evolution. He or she is not a bed mate or a sex partner alone. The very term indicates that a soul mate is the companion of the soul in its ever arduous journey towards perfection.
A soulmate encounter is spiritually uplifting. And although the other aspects of one's being, like the physical and emotional levels, are also satisfied, the spiritual aspects of the relationship are ever present and are manifested in various ways.
A soul mate leads you to God and to your spiritual destiny. He or she helps you achieve faster soul evolution and awareness. If it doesn't do this, it is not a soul mate encounter; it may be something else masquerading as one.
There may be other characteristics of soul mate relationships, but the above should give you an idea of what a soul mate could be.
Another question often asked is: Why do we seldom meet our soul mate? In fact, many find themselves married to a non-soul mate. Why?
The simplest answer is karma. We still have to work out our karma with other individuals before we are ready to meet our soul mate. So it is not advisable to be in search of one's soul mate. He or she will come when the time for your meeting is already at hand. You may have decided this in a previous lifetime together with your soul mate. In the meantime, you have to learn to accept your present love partner for there is always a reason why you are with a particular person.
