Leo Tolstoy on God

LEO TOLSTOY ON GOD: "When you look inside yourself, you see what is called 'your own self' or your soul. You cannot touch it or see it or understand it, but you know it is there. And this part of yourself--that which you cannot understand--is what is called God. God is both around us and inside of us--in our souls.

The more you understand that you are at one with God, the more you will understand that you are at one with all His worldly manifestations."

GO AHEAD: Pop "The Pill" For Resurrection!


Upon leaving the movie "Limitless," starring Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro, I began to think of getting my "pill."

I wanted to be able to take a little colorless pill and leave all of the troubled world behind, rising high above the clouds and fulfilling all of my human potential.

Like characters in the movie who took the pill, then ran out, I could imagine overthrowing whole apartments, too, to find my "pill."

Yes.

That's what happens to us when "magic" happens. We get hooked!

It doesn't take too much of an imagination to know that what sometimes is too good for us also turns out to be "too good to be true."

An everlasting...permanent...state of enhanced view of the world. The ability to clearly see all things in milliseconds. The ability to manipulate the stock market and gather millions into a bank account in one or two transactions.

Yes. A pill.

I want that pill!

I began to imagine what my magic pill would taste like when I swallow it...especially the first time.

I began to imagine what my magic pill would do to my senses when I swallow it... especially the first time.

The time...before I got "hooked."

You see, the time to think before we swallow...a pill, or anything else, is BEFORE the first time.

We need to really...really think about our altered state, and do we truly, really, truly want to "go there."

Eddie Morra's (Bradley Cooper) girlfriend, "Lindy," played by actress Abbie Cornish, was forced to take one pill ...at a time when her life was in extreme danger and this was the only way for her to survive.

So, she took the pill...and she lived.

Unlike Bradley's character, she didn't like the impact of the pill on her "Beingness." Sure, she functioned at a higher level. Sure, she was able to have strength and power she never would, could have under normal circumstances. But, it was clear that she was not looking to radically change her life.

So, she opted out of continuing on the pill.


Many people living in an unstable world at this time would love to have such a "pill" to swallow.

As we celebrate this Easter, there's a little "pill" I'm offering that you swallow. I'm suggesting that like Bradley Cooper's character in "Limitless," you'll find yourself in the right frame of mind, i.e. clear, all the time...performing optimally...all times. I can't promise that you'd be able to accomplish physical feats, but again, I'll promise you that you wouldn't constantly be "running for your life, looking behind you" or chasing your own shadow.

I promise you that much.

The "pill" that you should take is a little clear pill, too.

It's filled with an invisible substance.

That substance is the SPIRIT of God: the Holy Spirit.

You see essence of the pill already resides within you. But since it's taken you a lifetime and you obviously haven't tapped into it, I'm recommending that every day you get up, you make a concerted effort to take the "holy spirit" in a pill form as you begin your day.

As you take that first swallow...I want you to imagine what it will do to your body.

I want you to imagine this pill penetrating every pore...every cell...every inch of your body and mind.

Then sit back and imagine.

Imagine the places you could go that day...Imagine the feats you could accomplish that day...Imagine the doors you can have open for you that day...

That day...and every day...you take that pill!

Let's look at this special pill and what it would do for you.

1. It would make kindness a permanent state of "beingness," not an option, depending on your mood.

2. It would take fear out of your vocabulary and out of your life, filling you with FAITH as the only operating system that you know.

3. It would make you compassionate in a way that is second-nature, not as an afterthought, or because of extreme effort, or worse, to make you "look good."

4. It would make every person a special extension of yourself, making no one a "stranger" at least in your heart.

5. It would make you see past the exterior of troubled souls and able to look deeply into their hearts and know exactly what burdens that person may be carrying and challenges he/she may be facing that day.

6. It would make you passionate about caring about life outside your own limited sphere.

7. It would make you see beyond your immediate borders and see inside the world. In fact, you will have a view from a higher level and where you can see the world from the "Center of the Universe."

8. It would help you understand the role you came into the world to play...in the job, career, family and life you have built for yourself.


That little pill...

the little pill I'm suggesting you take would lift you beyond your wildest imagination into a resurrected world that you can not even now imagine. That's because...

at the heart of that little pill, you see, is the key ingredient that makes us all our most optimum in all ways at all times.

At the very center of that pill...

is love.

Love is kind...
Love is true...
Love is compassionate...
Love is LIMITLESS.


Isn't that the pill you need for your RESURRECTION, today?

Think about it.

After that...

I want you to ...

swallow that pill.

Yes.

I want you to take this mind-altering DRUG!

I want you to GET CLEAR...today...and EVERY DAY!

Yes. I want you to get CLEAR on love.

Take that pill...please...for your continued resurrection.

Happy Easter!

Oh...and please don't forget to go see the movie "Limitless."

You'll see that all I told you...is true...about your "limitless" and resurrected self.
Who knows...one day you may look up and see "his" reflection... as yours.

One day, too, you might even see the face of real strangers reflecting back. Isn't that the point of living in the "ceaseless flow of transcendent life?" Isn't that the point of "limitlessness?" Isn't that the point of your "Resurrection?"

Namaste',

Che'
