"I will not value what is valueless."

There are no satisfaction in the world.  Each choice we make brings everything to us or nothing.  If we learn the tests by which we can distinguish everything from nothing, we will make the better choice.  If we choose a thing that will not last forever, what we choose is valueless.  A temporary value is without all value.  Time can never take away a value that is real.  What fades and dies was never there, and makes no offering to the person who chooses it.

If we choose to take a thing away from someone else, we will have nothing left.  When we deny a person's right to everything, we have denied our own.  Because what the ego wants it fails to recognize.  If we feel any guilt about our choice, we have allowed the ego's goals to come between the real alternatives. 

All things are valuable or valueless, worthy or not of being sought at all, entirely desirable or not worth the slightest effort to obtain.   I will not value what is valuelessOnly what has value do I seek.  Only that do I desire.  I will not value what is valueless, for what is valuable belongs to me.  From "Underneath the Mango Tree." by BID

"Loose the world from all I thought it was."

What keeps the world in chains but our beliefs?  What can save the world except ourselves?  The thoughts we hold are mighty, and illusions as strong in their effects as is the truth.  Anyone is free to change her mind, and all her thoughts change with it.  To change our minds means we have changed the source of all ideas we think or ever thought or yet will think.  We have enslaved the world with all our fears, our doubts and miseries, our pain and tears, and all our sorrows press on it, and keep the world a prisoner to our beliefs.

The world is nothing in itself.  Our minds must give it meaning.   There is no world apart from what we wish, and herein lies our ultimate release.  Healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world.  The world does not exist.  It is our imagining, then we can loose it from all things we ever thought it was by merely changing all thoughts that give it these appearances.  We are as God Created us.

Our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it, and about all living things we see upon it.  We who remain as God created us, would loose the world from all we thought it was.  Choose our own reality instead.  from "Underneath the Mango Tree."

"No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth."

Failure is all about us while we seek for goals that cannot be achieved.  We look for permanence in the impermanent, for love where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger; immortality within the darkness of the dream of death.  Who could succeed where contradiction is the setting of ones searching, and the place to which one comes to find stability?  Goals that are meaningless are not attained.  There is no way to reach them, for the means by which we strive for them are meaningless. 

We ask to see a different world, and think a different kind of thought from  those we made.  The world we seek we did not make alone, the thoughts we want to think are not our own.  Today we seek and find all that we want.  Our single purpose offers it to us.  No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.  From "Underneath the Mango Tree."

"It is impossible to see two worlds."

What we see reflects our thinking.  Our thinking reflects our choice of what we want to see.  Our values are determiners of this, for what we value we must want to see, believing what we see is really there.  No one can see a world his/her mind has not given value.  And no one can fail to look upon what she/he believes they want. 

Who can hate and love at once?  Who can desire what she/he does not want to really have?  And who can choose to see a world of which she/he is afraid?  Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what remains is imagined.  It is impossible to see two worlds.  Let us accept the strength God offers us and see no value in this world, that we may find our freedom and deliverance.  - BID "Underneath the Mango tree."
