Even our tragedies

The Divine Mother loves so fully
that She fills even our tragedies
with blessings.
Great pure ache
Ivan M. Granger September 9th, 2009
All your loss, hurt and hope –
gather them up
into a great pure ache
until the Beloved has no choice but to kiss
your naked heart.
What are you painting?
Ivan M. Granger September 4th, 2009
Your outer life is the palette.
Your inner life is the canvas.
What are you painting?
(The reverse is equally true…)
The ultimate acquisition
Ivan M. Granger September 2nd, 2009
Enlightenment is the ultimate acquisition,
as far as the ego is concerned.
Now, if the ego can only figure out
how to hold enlightenment
and not lose itself!
Information & Knowledge
Ivan M. Granger August 31st, 2009
Don’t mistake information for knowledge.
Information is important,
but knowledge is the stuff of life.
Everyone and everything
Ivan M. Granger August 28th, 2009
Love everyone and everything
with the last ounce of your being.
Love all until you are shattered
by love
and only love remains.
Fade Away
Ivan M. Granger August 26th, 2009
The goal of the ego is not perfection.
It’s ultimate goal is to fade away
in order to reveal the inherent perfection
already present.
Step into the unknown
Ivan M. Granger August 7th, 2009
Each day, each moment
is a step into the unknown.
How can you feel anything
but amazement?
We are stories
Ivan M. Granger August 5th, 2009
Don’t take your joys and suffering personally.
We are – all of us – stories
told by God
to himself
to illuminate himself.
Every ignoble act
Ivan M. Granger July 31st, 2009
Every ignoble act says –
“Save me from myself!”
Every noble act says
the same.
What we love
Not data
Ivan M. Granger July 22nd, 2009
Knowledge is not the accumulation of data
or the formulation of thought.
True knowledge is to merge
with the living field of knowing itself.
Hidden success
Ivan M. Granger July 20th, 2009
Live for hard success,
slow success,
hidden success.
Not fully present
Ivan M. Granger July 15th, 2009
What we call the ego
is the individual’s particular way
of not being fully present.
Action, stillness, heart
Ivan M. Granger July 13th, 2009
Let every action
be a perfect stillness
in the heart.
Stories and Histories
Ivan M. Granger July 10th, 2009
We don’t actually have histories.
We just make up stories
to connect our memories and give meaning.
We can change those stories at any time.
