In our lives and on our
Spaceship, orbiting the sun.

My Life is not a Game
05:58

Many things are difficult
If you want to do them well.
Difficult like a mountain to be climbed
If you want to see the view with your own eyes.
Maybe someone could simply fly you up there.
That would make it easier, I suppose.
But wouldn't that miss the point?
Because it seems to me that nothing you want is easy to obtain.
Growth and accomplishment necessitate the pain.
Fulfilling my desires has only driven me insane.
I don't need to win because my life is not a game.

Let Bliss Into Your Life

Don't be discouraged. This is a journey.
You cannot get anywhere, if you're not traveling.
We're all traveling. We're all in our place. And we all have a face.
These things and more shall you also do.
Don't be discouraged. Each destination is an open door to a new world.
Have you decided where you're going?
Do you believe that you will get there?
You cannot get what you do not believe in.
But you cannot avoid forever...
Why woudl you want to deny...
That God's peace and joy are within you
God's love and forgiveness are yours
There is Light waiting for extension
Give it room, give it room, in your mind and in your heart.
Let Bliss into your life. Let Bliss into your life. Let Bliss into your life,
And forgiveness unto illusion.
You see, they lied. You haven't gone too far. You cannot go to Hell. There is no right or wrong. You are forgiven, you need not do a thing. For we are His children, and all is Love.
Peace, peace, peace, be unto all.
