Everyday we encounter people who are making a positive difference in this world. If we are awake inside we might stop a moment and say a silent prayer of ‘thank you’ to them. However it’s usually the bad apples and the drama queens who get the most attention from us. I know from my own experiences that negative attention is an easy (and lesser) form of love to acquire, and quite often the rewards encourage even more self-destructive behavior. It doesn’t matter if it is behind closed doors or on the biggest stages, negative acquisition of love, whether watching it, encouraging it, or voyeuristically egging it on from afar is an addiction that is hard to break.

Positive acquisition and promotion of Love requires authenticity, willful participation, and an intention to lend your heart and quite possibly your head to a vibration that yields results that are often unseen. Love can be quite still. At times to Love someone means only to do absolutely nothing, making yourself available to wait while all the rest of the noise around you dies down. The path of Love, the journey of Truth requires you to be You. The You that God made, not the you that you have carefully constructed.

It should be an easy choice to decide that you want a life of inner integrity, but we all know the world around us is designed to strip us of the fidelity of our personal convictions only to replace them with something more manufactured (and thus more profitable via someone else’s false god). There is God, and then there are gods, idols along the way that may convince us that the One God can be replaced by a lesser thought. To me, when I say One God, I mean One Truth, One Love, One Destination.

Mind is the faculty of how we process information, our tool of perception. We have an absolute choice of how we choose to ‘use’ our mind. We can be on a bus and choose to look at the person across from us as a brother or a sister, or as an enemy and a threat. And all thoughts may be true to our mind at that moment, but that does not make it True. We choose how we see and what we see practically a million times a day. Body is the vehicle we are in, the alchemical mystery that we drive. With this instrument we can choose to make love or destroy cities. Our physical Be-ing demonstrates who we appear to be, who we want to be, and betrays quite often who we really are inside. Soul is the spark of God, the flame within that is Eternal and cannot be destroyed by man. This is the real You, the You that you hide from the world and wonder in sorrow whether anyone truly sees You. We have the power of choice to let others in our heart or put them out, to shine brightly with this I-dentity that God has given us. We can choose to bathe others in our brilliance or haunt them by shutting down and therefore dimming our own Light. So the idea of Mind-Body-Soul integration takes those 3 pieces of you and melds them in harmony, to assist You into bringing God-Spirit-All There Is into this reality. To make this reality at One with God.

If these ideas call to you, next week I will set up a system by which you can apply to be a co-contributor and weekly or monthly columnist for Everything From Here to There. I am seeking anyone in this world who is applying spiritual principles to their daily life. I know You are out there; doctors, teachers, healers, mothers and fathers, chefs, artists, rocket scientists, etc. There are many who would be interested in Your stories and observations on how God through Mind-Body-Soul integration plays a role in your daily life.

Dreams I Dream For You...

Dreams I Dream For You - Avalon

You taste the tears
You're lost in sorrow
You see your yesterdays
I see tomorrow

You see the darkness
I see the spark
You know your failures
But I know your heart

(Chorus:)
The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones you're clinging to
More precious than the finest things you knew
And truer than the treasures you pursue
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
Then take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of
The dreams I dream for you

You see your shame
But I see your glory
You've read one page
I know the story
I hold a vision
That you'll become
As you grow into the truth
As you learn to walk in love

(Chorus)

Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
Then take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of
The dreams I dream for you

I'm Gonna Break Your Heart...

I'm Gonna Break Your Heart - Joy Williams


Just so you know, I'm gonna break your heart
Just so you know, I'm gonna make a mess
Ive got things unsaid inside my head that I wish you knew that I can't confess
I'm gonna break your heart

I shouldn't keep you, but I can't let go
The way you look at me, it's like you know its like you know
You're afraid to ask I'm afraid to tell
Just so you know I'm gonna break your heart
Just so you know I'm gonna make a mess
I've got things unsaid inside my head that I wish you knew that I can't confess
I'm gonna break your heart

Got reservations bout you and me
And if we pull the string things will start unraveling
I'm afraid to stay, you're afraid to leave

Just so you know I'm gonna break your heart
Just so i know I'm gonna make a mess
I've got things unsaid inside my head that I wish you knew that I can't confess
I'm gonna break your heart

ooooo break your heart oooooo ooooo oooooo oooo ooo oo oooooooo
break your heart oooo oooo oooo

Just so you know I'm gonna break your heart
Just so you know I'm gonna make a mess
I've got things unsaid inside my head that I wish you know that I can't confess
Like, I'm gonna break your heart
With all these things inside my head how could you still love me even when...

I'm gonna break your heart

Deep in your eyes (There is a river)...

Deep in Your Eyes (There is A River) - Jon Foreman

There's a river underneath us
It's been looking for you
There's a river in my veins
It's been looking for truth

There's a river in our blood
From our fathers on through
I see you looking for the ocean honey
There is a river in you

- Chorus -

It's deep in your eyes
There is a river
Deep in your eyes
The river runs
Deep in your eyes
Deep in your eyes
There is a river in your eyes

I can see your eyes moving
Looking down towards the shore
You've been searching for substance
You've been searching for more

I can see your eyes moving
They've been twisting around
You've been looking for something honey
That you haven't yet found

- Chorus -

It's deep in your eyes
There lies a river
Deep in your eyes
Your river runs
Deep in your eyes
Deep in your eyes
I see a river

Are you ready to run?
There is a river in your eyes
There is a river in your eyes

Learning How to Die...

Learning How to Die - Jon Foreman

"I'm gonna miss you,
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone"
She said, "I love you,
I'm gonna miss hearing your songs"

And I said, "Please,
Don't talk about the end,
Don't talk about how every living thing
Goes away..."

She said, "Friend, all along
Thought I was learning how to take
How to bend not how to break
How to live not how to cry but really
I've been learning how to die
I've been learning how to die"

"Hey everyone
I've got nowhere to go
The grave is lazy
He takes our bodies slowly"

And I said "Please,
Don't talk about the end,
Don't talk about how every living thing
Goes away..."

She said, "Friend, all along
Thought I was learning how to take
How to bend not how to break
How to live not how to cry but really
I've been learning how to die
I've been learning how to die, die, die
I've been learning how to die"

Yet...

Yet - Switchfoot

All attempts have failed
All my heads are tails
She's got teary eyes
I've got reasons why

I'm losing ground and gaining speed
I've lost myself or most of me
I'm headed for the final precipice

- Chorus -
But you haven't lost me yet
No you haven't lost me yet
I'll sing until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet

These days pass me by
I dream with open eyes
Nightmares haunt my days
Visions blur my nights

I'm so confused
What's true or false
What's fact or fiction after all
I feel like I'm an apparition's pet

- Chorus -
But you haven't lost me yet
No, you haven't lost me yet
I'll run until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet

If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break your heart it isn't love
If it doesn't break your heart it's not enough
It's when you're breaking down
With your insides coming out
That's when you find out what your heart is made of
And you haven't lost me yet

Hello Hurricane!

Hello Hurricane - Switchfoot

Ohhh, ohhhhh
Ohhh, ohhhhh
Ohhh, ohhhhh

I've been watching the skies
They've been turning blood red
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
There's a storm up ahead

- Chorus -
Hello hurricane
You're not enough
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love

Every thing I have I count as loss
Everything I have is stripped away
Before I started building
I counted up these costs
There's nothing left for you to take away

Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love

I'm a fighter fighting for control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
You can't silence my love

Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love

Mess of Me

Mess of Me - Switchfoot


I am my own affliction
I am my own disease
There ain't no drug that they can sell
There ain't no drug to make me well

There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
It's not enough
The sickness is myself

- Chorus -
I've made a mess of me
I want to get back the rest of me
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive

We lock our souls in cages
We hide inside our shells
It's hard to free the ones you love
When you can't forgive yourself

- Chorus -
I've made a mess of me
I want to reverse this tragedy
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive

Walk Away

Walk Away - Christina Aguilera


What do you do when you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?

I was naïve
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping

Got caught in your web
And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely

Oh and it hurts my soul
Cuz I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cuz I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away

I should have known
I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion

Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
But the venom seems deeper (deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce
But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)

I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
and I'm feigning for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need oh

I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya

Everytime I try to gasp for air
I am smothered in despair it's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer, let it be over, over

Inside I'm screaming
Begging, pleading
No more
Ah ah

I don't know what to do
My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you

Oh it hurts my soul
Cuz I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cuz I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need oh

I'm about to break
I cant stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm feigning for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need oh

I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from

Yea
Oh...
I said...
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya


Only thing I need to do is walk away from you

I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, get away, walk away

Betrayal

Just imagine singing this from a woman's perspective though...



Betrayal - Fiction Family

I don't remember much about that night
But I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
I think it rained, I think it rained,
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died

You and I were always closest friends
It's women that make enemies of men
A pretty face, a pretty face,
A pretty face would one day do me in

Her eyes were like the winter when she goes
Holding secrets only winter knows
Winter knows, winter knows
Cause winter sees the wolves in women's clothes

She came to me in middle afternoon
We held each other close the whole night through
Love was blind, love was blind
I never saw her let you in the room

Someone always wins and then they write a book
I sing my defense, fingering a different crook

A gunshot was the only word you said
And all of my defenses came out red
Love is red, love is red
She left with you, you left me lying dead

But I watched her as you put me in the dirt
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt
And I went numb, I went numb
So I'm not dead if what you did don't hurt.
