A message from Warren Cuccurullo.

"I want to take this opportunity to share some of my deep personal thoughts with all of you.

Whether you are aware of it or not, this past summer I had an illness that brought me to the absolute edge of physical, & then shortly thereafter, mental exhaustion. I was then hospitalized for 8 nights. I spent lots of time trying to figure out how it could've happened to me. It's very difficult to come up with the answer.

I did figure out why it happened to me. When I was at that point of total meltdown, my awareness was amplified to the max. In that moment, which I call the eternal moment, where you feel that time doesn't really exist, I felt God. I experienced God. I now know for sure that there is God in all of our lives. I was in a bookstore after my hospital release and gravitated towards a book called The Power of Now, by Ekhart Tolle. Everything I felt and learned when I was "ill" was reiterated right there in print. In my conversations with friends I learned of another book called Conversations with God. Again, my certain knowledge of God within us was confirmed while reading this book.

So, I truly believe that there is a beautiful movement happening all over the planet, a long awaited, spiritual revolution. There are very many people who really know God, or, the essence of all things that are. These people are totally non-denominational. Religion doesn't really enter into this, primarily because of the division that different faiths cause. The truth is there, for example, in the bible, but it has been diluted & manipulated to support the power structures that control the organized religions.

I feel compelled to share this all with you; I feel it is my job. But, the process of self/God discovery is so beautiful, however it comes about, that a part of me wants everyone to get there on their own. But then I think, why are these other people lecturing & writing about this subject? Because they have to. God within them is telling them that it's the right thing to do. If it can bring peace & enlightenment, how can it be wrong? God is here, always has been, God is in all of us, we are all God.

I want to take a minute here to talk about some of our friends that have passed away recently. Tony Thompson, Robert Palmer, Frank Zappa. Their time was up. Death is beautiful. No one should fear death, no matter how it will happen. However it does, it was the right time, the right place, whether you were in the airplane that crashed into the World Trade Center, or you were a victim of a drive by shooting. Your time was up. You lived your life, hopefully received and spread a lot of love & joy to those around you, & you leave this plane of existence.

We will all die somehow, someday. Shouldn't we live our lives to the fullest every second? If you knew you had 500 days left of your life, how would you feel? You would without a doubt discover God. I am sure of that. I've had an incredible life. I achieved my dreams.

When I mentioned that "eternal moment" earlier, that is the place where our dreams are created. God was speaking to me through some of my friends. I know it sounds strange, but that is one way God communicates with us. He told me that what I was experiencing usually only happens to people when they die. I felt heaven. Do you understand that we are in heaven right now? We, as a part of God, are all creators. We can create heaven on earth. That is an unbelievably lofty goal, but I know it is happening. I'm contributing to it right now with every key depression.

It will probably take many generations to phase out all of the hatred & division that all of our different faiths have created, but that shouldn't stop us, the people who really know God unconditionally. Heaven on earth is where we are all one. When we all are aware that we are of the same life essence. When we live for love & peace & harmony. When we strive to heal & not hurt. When we understand that we are all perfect. We were born that way, & we will return to that state either at the time of death, or whenever you feel God within you. Live your life, love your friends & neighbors, your work, and try and be aware of who we all really are, a part of God. "

You know me well...

I totally know what he means about one's awareness being amplified to the max. I was on the verge of death many times in the last 5 years. I had recurring appendicitis and didn't know it. When I would have those attacks, I felt like I was dying and essentially I was because if it had burst, I would have died from internal poisoning.

I had many reflective moments during those attacks (14 in all) and often I was afraid but there was this song that helped to give me peace when I felt most alone:

“Don’t cry little baby don’t cry. Please don’t cry little baby don’t cry. There’ll be an ending whether your man or woman. The world can no doubt be cold and unhuman. Let your eyes look beyond and you’ll see more, oh so much more. Follow your little heart, take control of your situation. Are you ready to go to the next phase of life? Follow your heart, keep looking for the prize. I know things are hard. It’s time to work it out. I know you feel all alone and you wanna scream and shout. So baby go on, alright it’s alright, sometimes the clouds will be around. Lose your self in your mind and rise. Ready to go into the next phase of life? Follow your heart. Ready to fly? Ready to go into the next phase of life? Follow your heart, keep looking for the prize. Ready or not, go on and lead, dive on in me……

I remember you telling chico and I about your appendicitis at the Org dinner... indeed...

What's the song, by the way??...I know I've heard it, but can't place my finger (ear?) on it...lol

Byron said:

Placement for the Baby by N'Dea Davenport. Check your CD "Eerything in it's Right place". It's on there.

VinaBlue said:

I'm too drunk to read all that. Can someone summarise it for me in words I'd understand?

Thank you.

mcmeekle said:

I bolded what I think are the important parts, and probably the last paragraph is the most important.

Don't get tooo drunk, lol.

VinaBlue said:

Yeah it's taken care of. They yanked that fucker out of me and I feel SO much better!

mcmeekle said:

Existance is a glass spider.
Happy New Year, ya mad jaiky.

Beautiful post Vina especially around the new year

VinaBlue said:

Agree......that's why I only quoted that part when responding in my first post. It states that spiritual "truth" beautifully and perfectly.


"I desire for the whole life process
to be an experience of constant joy,
continuous creation,
neverending expansion,
and total fulfillment in each moment of now..."

Slave2daGroove said:

Exactly. I saw it and thought, this is really appropriate for today.

Happy New Year.
