Stop Looking For Evidence

-

By Ricky Rusk


Stop Looking For Evidence

For your manifestations

For your beliefs

When you know something, there is no reason to check

You already know

Yoda does not need external validation from the force

A true Jedi knows the force, but Han Solo needs it to be proven

The Jedi know it

 

Know it

When you know, there is no reason to check

There is no reason to check your phone for the text if you know what’s on the other side

Stop checking

Be in the moment

Be in each and every moment

 

True knowledge is to truly know

Anything, not everything

A dog who knows its owner is coming back has no reason to check the door

It will await faithfully

And still will be full of love when the time comes

True knowledge is to truly know

 

I know that I am loved

The truth of my belief doesn't rely on external validation; its essence remains unchanged

The world providing that validation is a blessing and part of the human experience, to be acknowledged, accepted, appreciated, and cherished

Be thankful for it when it’s there, but the world doesn’t owe it to you, which certainly adds to its beauty

Just because the world isn’t showing validation to you, doesn’t mean it’s not true

 

To truly know is to have faith that your way is true

The pursuit of truth lies within

If you think you need the world to show you truth, than you have missed the point

I know that I am loved

I don’t need to hear "I love you"

But I don't reject somebody saying it

I know that my art touches the soul

I don’t need that to be shown to me

But I don’t reject someone saying it

 

Doing it for love cannot equal doing it out of love

One, the love is the object

Two, the love is inherent

Both are exactly different

 

Being attached to results is to expect the world to validate

When in truth, the world is the one that gets validated by you and your core beliefs

Faith that the world will bless you is the way

Faith that God loves you

Acting for God

Not acting to God

Serving God rather than bartering with Him

Expect nothing in return

If something returns, cherish it

And continue on your way

 

Ricky is a musician who finds meaning in the silence between the notes. Inspired by Red Hot Chilli Peppers lead guitarist John Frusciante, and others such as Dave Grohl, Skinshape, Nirvana, and Jimi Hendrix, Ricky sees music as his path towards truth. These days Ricky spends his time playing and recording music with different local artists and groups. Just like finding the right note, Ricky is always searching to better understand who he is, and writing is a new path that helps him do so.

The Stillness of Now

-
By Kyle Wilfer As a mountain manifests the silence between the words in an incarnation of grace and magnitude, the sheer chaos that pours out is met with a semblance of perfection. Just as our ego paints the canvas of the soul; a mountain invokes storms, houses wildfires, and harbors death and life. The duality of such grace is pure and just.  Allow me to see, but not to possess.  Allow me to hear, but not to react.  Allow me to taste, but not to want. Allow me to love, but not to desire.  Allow me to be in the world, but not of it.  Ah so, and that too. As yet another part of the sadhana arises at every moment, no goal but the power of now lingers in this heart. What shall manifest will be as is written.  Kyle's Bio: I am witnessing the promises and pitfalls of this incarnation and writing is the mechanism in which the witness can speak. Through my many travels I have come to some amazing realizations that have carried on to everyday life. Finding God in the everyday is something

Breath In, Breathe Out

-
By Ben Puchniak Give yourself space to breathe, think, recycle and discard thoughts. Find the time and space once a day to recharge your mental landscape and de-clutter. So many of us go through the day without taking a minute to breathe and stop the process of overthinking. We let our thoughts and worries compound and eventually, they weigh us down. Having time and space to myself are the two most important constant aspects of my life. This means clearing a small amount of time in the day to be with yourself in a space that is comfortable for you. It could be in a park, in your bedroom, in the car or at a coffee shop; the goal is a stable mental state for a couple of minutes. This space to think can be considered meditation or reflection, but it doesn’t have to be. Find the time to sit and run over whatever is at the top of your consciousness–think about your worries–but don’t let them take over your train of thought. Think of them as problems or challenges to be solved, not as brick

Mirror of the Soul

-
By Jayden Kyryluk What calls to you? A mountain, tree, or cloud? A song or painting? Observing the silence of the wind or the evening sun? What makes you feel most...you?  In these moments, you are witnessing the mirror of the soul.  First, find your mirror. These are spaces where the spiritual transforms the ordinary into extraordinary, where witnessing becomes feeling and feeling becomes truth. In Sanskrit, truth is satyam. Sat means “that which is true”; and yam means “to hold,” “to tame” or “to examine.” These moments where the mirror shines through are when you feel most you. When you examine and hold that which is true, and what is the truest of all? Your soul.  Forget your worries, forget the time and the person you think you are; find the mirror of your soul and sink into the ever-flowing river of truth.  These momentary spaces beyond time are the deepest and most blissful drops of existence. Like a drop of water to a growing tree, these moments nourish us with energy. The mirr
