The purpose of Life for all beings is to experience happiness, peace, contentment, and safety, Knowing the Oneness and Immortality of the Divine Self. Such Knowledge is beyond speech, beyond thought; it is found in the depths of the heart where communion (co-union) with All is reality. I bring the unifying force within my heart to all people and experiences and thus Know myself as the happiness, peace, contentment, and safety I Am.
Reflection

Non- duality is not a thought. It is an experience of the heart. All beings want happiness, peace, contentment, safety. Even the lowliest grasshoppers of the world want to survive, to be safe. I see this everyday with our cat (his name is Red). This is a being with wants and needs so similar to mine; to be fed, to be held, to have a warm safe place to sleep. While animals may live in a different realm than humans (according to Buddhist thoughts), in the Oneness of the Divine self, we are all connected, and want the same things. The desire for these things crosses all the realms,
When I am at Peace, it spreads to those around me. Likewise, when I am angry, it spreads to those around me, to the humans, cats, and dogs too. That is why it is so important to create and be with others who also foster their inner peace and unity with our Divine One. This does not mean it is always soft and quiet, or that we should run away to a quiet cave somewhere. It simply means that I bring my internal happiness and peace with me wherever I go.
You Are Safe
May you be safe, little one
In the arms of God
May you be safe, little one
In the world above
May you be safe, little one
Surrounded by Love
May you be safe, little one
Wherever you are.
