Hello, friends:
Ram Dass and Allen Ginsberg in Conversation

Sounds True
Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do dia - Flor del día- Flower of the day - 06/09/2016
“Quero propor uma pequena tarefa: avalie com sinceridade como você está
na esfera dos relacionamentos. Se você está com alguém, veja por que
está nessa relação. O que te mantém nela? E se você não está com alguém,
se pergunte por que você está sozinho. É uma escolha da sua alma ou
você está com medo de se relacionar? Não tenha medo de fazer essas
perguntas. Somente a mentira pode cair - a verdade nunca cai. Se a sua escolha
é baseada no amor e na liberdade - se você está se expandindo na luz e
crescendo dentro do programa da sua alma, ótimo. Zele por isso. Mas, se
você está onde está por outras razões, tenha coragem de encarar a
verdade, porque ela te liberta.”
“Quiero proponer una pequeña tarea: evalúasinceramente cómo estás en la
esfera de las relaciones. Si estás con alguien, mira por qué estás en
esa relación. ¿Quées lo que te mantiene en ella? Y si no estás con
alguien, pregúntate por qué estás solo. ¿Es una elección de tu alma o
tienes miedo de relacionarte? No tengas miedo de hacer estas preguntas.
Solamente la mentira puede caerse - la verdad nunca se cae. Si tu
elección se basa en el amor y en la libertad - si te estásexpandiendoen
la luz y creciendo dentro del programa de tu alma, muy bien.Cuida bien
de ello. Pero si estásdónde estás por otras razones, ten coraje de
encarar la verdad, porque ella te libera.”
“I would like to propose a small exercise: sincerely evaluate where you are in the realm of relationships. If you are with someone, take a look at why you are with them. What keeps you in this relationship? If you are not with someone, ask yourself why you are alone. Is it a choice you have made from your soul or are you frightened of being in a relationship? Don’t be afraid to ask yourself these questions. The only thing that will fall away will be lies. The truth will never collapse. If your choice is based in love and freedom, if you are expanding in the light and growing along with the program of your soul, then that’s wonderful. Continue to nurture it. However, if you are in this relationship for other reasons, have the courage to face the truth, because it will set you free.”

Consciousness is the division of an otherwise seamless Whole, which transcends space and time, into space and time—that is, into here and there, then and now.
—Steve Hagen, "Time and Now"
