Unity of God, the Prophets of God, the Books, the angels and the Day

Simple vocalisation of one's faith is not enough; it needs to be put
in practice. A practical step to establish Unity of God will come to
pass once a person frees their heart of everything except Allah, will
not use cunning means and falsehood to achieve personal goals, will
make effort to inculcate love of God in one's children through one's

How can I love (or at least start) doing the things
I hate to do (like posting to a newsgroup)? Here's
Thich Nhat Hanh's insight (how do you pronounce
his name?)

"To my mind, the idea that doing the dishes is
unpleasant can occur only when you are not
doing them."

That's it. Cool. In other words (quoting someone
else) if you avoid doing something that's
unpleasant but necessary, you'll torment yourself
more by dreading the task than by actually rolling
up your sleeves and doing it.

Now excuse me: I have to dread cleaning up my
office.

The purgatory of truth burns always and never, nowhere and everywhere,
because it is the overcoming of space and time and the overcoming of
"you" and "I".

Many, many, many ills healing.
NOT INSTEAD Doctors, etc., but ADDITIVE & EFFECTIVE.

Essay.

- Energies of healing go forward to a photo.
- Kosmoenergeting is not undestand what it is, but kosmoenergeting.
- For some new, old ills no healing. We don't know how, but more of
them
may be healing successfully.
- No difference - on a photo or not only on a photo, but is inet.
- Not interesting look for what it is, but we seems -
it is not another as love.
- Clear healing this.

Don't bother with the huge amount of what he said.
The essential of it is: "You see, I don't mind what
happens." That single succinct saying excuses the
rest of what he said, be it "choiceless awareness".
If one knows to not mind what happens, one needs
not know anything else, other than the practicalities
of life. Choiceless awareness is already included in
there as a matter of course.
