Create a Life of Love.

The practice of love creates a life of love.

We Are the Children of God.

John Harrigan — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:45:06 +0000

We are the children of God: the perfect progeny and offspring, created in God’s image.

We have all the attributes and abilities to create as God does. However, we disable our experience and tarnish our abilities by thinking and behaving in a manner not true to ourselves.

If we hold ourselves in perfect love and act in love toward others; if we think and feel within the presence of love—the world is ours. Our wish becomes fulfilled by the world as we follow the rule of love, at we make love the habit and practice of our lives.

Our desires, directed by love and good will, come true.

When we desire with perfect love, there is no resistance in the world to having what we want.

Our desires are fulfilled in a gentle and organic manner as we dwell in love. But it is our responsibility duty to place ourselves in love.

We are the ones who must direct our thoughts and actions toward love. It is up to us to develop the love muscle, the love habit and response.

With love, we own the world; the world belongs to us.

Without love, we are disabled creatures floundering in pain.

With love, we are as our true selves, and all is good.

Death Is Not Natural!

John Harrigan — Mon, 05 May 2008 14:42:25 +0000

Death is a lifestyle choice caused by the way we think, feel and act—by what we believe individually and collectively as a society and culture. Death is a habit, a habit we can replace with healthy, happy and continuous human growth.

With billions of people believing that death is natural, what happens? People die; disease, accident and ill-will evolve.

Death does not have to happen; it’s not inevitable. There is a natural alternative–we have the option of continuing to live and grow into greater human life.

For this to happen, continuous life, a major lifestyle change must occur, one person at a time; until it catches fire, spreads and reaches critical mass around the world.

The lifestyle change for continual living is not so much “getting the proper exercise” or “eating the right food”—the required change of life concerns the way we treat each other and ourselves. It is about the way we think, feel and act en mass… together.

To live forever requires that we act with respect, consideration and love towards each other. A change of this type becomes a way of living together, a natural and normal way of life.

We are the Cause

In our distress, we direct the action of Creation and make it move in harmful ways… from the movement of the wind, to the setting of the sun, to the falling of our rain. It is all our body in motion, the way Creation runs.

How Peace Grows

Peace grows upon itself in unending fashion, if given a way.

Where the Journey Begins

The end of the road is where the journey begins.

Live through Life

John Harrigan — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 04:42:39 +0000

As pain is lived through, the God in you rises as the converse of pain; and the record of pain vanishes becoming the strength of you.

You Have Prevailed!

John Harrigan — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 04:04:49 +0000

Know that you have prevailed at every stage and step of life, by simply living through it.

Who Will Survive?

John Harrigan — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:41:34 +0000

The meek of the world see the freight train bearing down upon them and step aside. The vain see reflections of their own desire. We are both the meek and the vain.

What Is Pain?

John Harrigan — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:30:47 +0000

All human pain is the pain of birth. Go with it, and do not fear. You will return.

At times human suffering seems long and wide… without end. But human suffering and the suffering of the world, is the pain of birth.

We are always becoming what we are; there is never a mistake to the length and bredth of life’s discomfort. It is always birth.

Go with your pain; follow it though. It has an end. It has something new.
