Who remembers L4OA?



Who remembers the essays that were posted on the old Love4oneanother site? They were interesting and I saved a bunch of them. Now seems like a good time to take another look at them. Did anybody else save these little gems that you can post? If I recall correctly this one is from 1998.




LIVING TRUTH

2 all knowledge gatherers: throw ur books away! Get rid of ur Bible, Torah, Kabbalah,

Koran...yes that's right...until u r ready 2 live the one universal law that permeates all spiritual

teachings - LOVE ONE ANOTHER UNSELFISHLY - these books and all others r

meaningless. So r all churches, all religions, all great spiritual teachings passed down thru the

ages. What good is knowledge without action, words without works? This is akin 2 xpecting

nourishment by merely staring at a plate of food. Yet isn't this xactly what so many of us do

by going 2 church or studying book after siritual book seeking "enlightenment?" It's time 2

STOP PLAYING WITH UR FOOD AND EAT!!! Food of any sort - 4 the body or the soul

- does no good unless we take it in and absorb it.

When u open ur mind 2 God, u must also open ur heart and readily receive. With

reception comes INception - a new beginning. The ways of the past r nothing but history,

gone 4ever because each moment here4th is the PRESENT (they don't call it that 4

nothing!). If everyone truly lived the law of LOVE, there would b no need 4 other laws.

This world would b much closer 2 the paradise we all invision, and hell and hate would

wither away in2 the death they r, never 2 b resurrected again.

Beware the many 'chefs' who profess knowing the recipe 2 prepare r path 2 heaven, yet

have not tasted (lived) it themselves. Have we not all had the xperience of meeting someone

who professes great spiritual knowledge, buy does the xact opposite of what they speak?

Even if the recipe is good, a chef afraid 2 taste what he presents throws credibility out the

window. On all levels, non-commitment brings non results. Every1 wants heaven, yet few

will put 4th the effort 2 create it. Every1 wants perfect happiness, yet few r willing 2 go thru

the deep inner cleansing and 'removal of the trash' it takes 2 achieve it.

Like gemstones, r inner selves r purely beautiful. And like gems fresh from the Earth,

years worth of dirt clings 2 us, hiding what we truly r. We've become so attached 2 some

emotional deposits, their removal is somewhat difficult and we must give in 2 the grinders

and wire brushes, so 2 speak. Yet once we submit, the end result is nothing but perfection,

nothing but love.

SUBMIT, SURRENDER, and SURVIVE!



Love is the ONE, LIVING TRUTH...know this and no longer will u merely read of the

wonders Jesus spoke of - u will do them! Go! Move mountains, walk on water, create and

LIVE LOVE...the GODINUniverse is with U!

"In Our Own Game"

Speech given by at the Soul Train Awards April 4, 2000

Some people find it odd that when we win anything in this game, we give praise back un2 God. Well in somebody else's game, any triumph makes us feel blessed. When its ur game, u make the rules, everything comes easy. All of ur friends r in key positions so when u decide u don't want 2 play anymore, u never leave empty-handed. Can somebody say "golden parachute"?

Well it's not ur game. U didn't make the rules so everything comes hard. As long as u're signed 2 a contract, u're going 2 take a minority share of the winnings. A select few of us will do well. The majority will not. So as a people, we'll be considered a minority.

But stop - let's take a moment and look at urselves.

There's nothing minor about u. U r a blessed people. U're the most talented on Earth and u r still grateful. That is y upon winning in their game, u always thank God. 2night eye would like 2 ask one favor of u. Imagine what we'll all be like in our own game.

Peace and love4oneanother.

THE ONE



As 1ce we were, 1ce we shall be again.

What does “one” mean? It is perhaps the most misunderstood and least contemplated concepts of all humanity, yet is also a word of unrivaled importance.

2 uncover the source of r misconceptions, we travel back 1ce again 2 the initial separation – the lie and subsequent fall from grace in the Garden Of Eden. After the incident with the fruit, Adam realized he was one man, Eve was one woman, and the 2 were not the same. UP until then, they lived in complete happiness. But now, in shame and embarrassment over their difference, they separated themselves with clothing made of leaves. They realized they were both different than another one walking through the garden – God – and hid from him as well.

2day there is rampant use of the word “one” as a term of separation. "I'll take one of those”... “This is the last one,” “we're number one,” “someone,” “no one,”... Used this way, the word imposes boundaries – verbal barriers and walls of separation between otherwise like objects and beings.

Buried in the rubbble of layers and layers of implied separation there rests a gem of truth. One is not the smallest number, but the greatest. If all the world's “ones'” were added 2gether, what would that b? One. Wholeness, completion, totality. ONE.

ONE has been r mission ever since that fateful day in The Garden...returning 2 the oneness we already r. Living as one individual instead of the one collective has created a thirst in r souls. We all long 2 b long to something, some 4ce greater than rselves, yet many not know y. We all have a soulneed 2 “reconnect” 2 the tremendous source that now only lingers as a hologram in r minds, a deja vu from whence we don't quite remember.

Perhaps this is no more apparent than with the xploding popularity of the internet. One person fires up a computer and is soon communicating with one other person at a computer hundreds of miles away, and then another on a computer thousands of miles away. Distance and age disappear. Income, physical traits, occupation and origin no longer matter. The individuals “connect.” It is no llonger one person + one person + one person...all have b come one.

One day we will return 2 this oneness in all aspects of life... we will remain connected 2 one another without relying on the 4ced equality of computer screen 2 do so. We r here 2 gain the knowledge and enlightenment 2 do this on r own, 2 re-member we r already members of a oneness devoid of stereotypes and preconceptions...a unity that crosses all cultures, creeds, ages and mindsets. It is r one quest and r one destiny – ONE - 4 as 1ce we were, we shall be again.

No prob, me too.

Perhaps we have some younglings or newer members who weren't around during the Love4oneanother days. Some gems were being shared there.
