וְאָ֣הַבְתָּ֔ אֵ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ בְּכָל־לְבָבְךָ֥ וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וּבְכָל־מְאֹדֶֽךָ׃

Deuteronomy 6:4-9
"Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.
And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands I am giving you today.
Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are away on a journey, when you are lying down and when you are getting up again.
Tie them to your hands as a reminder, and wear them on your forehead.
Write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates."
The name Israel (Yisrael) (ישראל ) means
Contender~struggle~wrestle~prevail with God~God prevails.
These instructions were given to people who wrestle, struggle, contend, prevail with God.
If you are one of those people, heed these words with your whole heart.
At home...laying down...getting up...teach them to your children...place them in / on your home...wear them on your forehead (have them in the forefront of your mind)...tie them to your hands (in doing with your hands, remember them)
...and do it wholeheartedly.
QT, this song reminds me of those words. Thank you.

That is a beautiful song by Amy Grant Clare.

Before anyone starts to bash me for this topic, I would like to point out that I am NOT calling Robin Williams a coward by any means. If anything, I too was upset by his death, as he was one of the main reasons why I got into movies to begin with. Hell, even during some of his bad ones,...

I loved reading about your dream. I don't believe in short cuts to enlightenment. I really do...believe that for many people we have entered a new era of potential spiritual awakening. Like you mentioned---we are in a birth phase. I don't think all of the expression we see...
