Daily Words of the Buddha for June 06, 2016
Aññā hi lābhūpanisā,
aññā nibbānagāminī.
Evametaṃ abhiññāya,
bhikkhu buddhassa sāvako,
sakkāraṃ nābhinandeyya,
vivekamanubrūhaye.
One is the quest for worldly gain,
and quite another is the path to Nibbana.
Clearly understanding this,
let not the monk, the disciple of the Buddha,
be carried away by worldly acclaim,
but develop detachment instead.
Dhammapada 5.75

Meditation …
“Meditation is not concentration, which is exclusion, a cutting off, a resistance and so a conflict. A meditative mind can concentrate, which then is not an exclusion, a resistance, but a concentrated mind cannot meditate.”

Welcome sweet ones, it gives us great pleasure to be with you in this month of June as you deepen into the knowing of your magnificence and Light, as these sacred transfiguring flames of Divine Love and Master Beings of Light. Sweet ones, we let you know in this beautiful month of June as you head into the Solstice on June 20th there is the deepest level of alignment and activation to the Diamond Ray of Melchizedek Consciousness and the Diamond Light Codes that are to be experienced for every man woman and child on this sacred Earth through the group I AM Avatar Consciousness of Light.
In the month of May as you journeyed deeper into your Christed Hearts through the Overlighting of the Sisterhood of the Rose and the beautiful Rose grids, walking the Path of the Rose, walking the Pathway of Divine Love, it was through a greater level of the equality of the Divine Masculine and Feminine Spirits, with the Divine Feminine leading the way through Love into the Heart’s Dreaming and Heart’s Joy; into a new flow and harmony, into a new level of trust and surrender to the Divine, as you activated the Petal of the Trusting Heart. And now sweet ones, it is once more into the Diamond Path of Light in the merging timelines that activate through the Galactic Center, through the Sun, Central Sun and Great Central Sun, imbuing all life through the Diamond Grid of Melchizedek Consciousness.
We have mentioned too that the eighteenth ray of Melchizedek Service is under the directorship of Mother/Father God and the Multi-Universal Council of Twelve; this magnificent diamond colored ray that was first activated on the sacred Earth through the Harmonic Convergence in 1987, and following this in 1994 through an alignment between Sirius A and Sirius B. And now sweet ones, in the fourth year of this sacred Golden Age of Light you are ready once more to connect deeper into the I AM Avatar Consciousness of Light and to experience the highest level of merging with your Beloved I AM Presence which illuminates through the sacred Light of this diamond ray of purity and innocence, that lifts you through all dimensions of Light and in this energy system that we present, through all nine dimensions back into the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God.

Yāvajīvampi ce bālo, paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati,

Though all one’s life a fool associates with a wise person,
one no more comprehends the Truth
than a spoon tastes the flavor of the soup.

Na bhāṇaye bhaṇataṃ nānujaññā.
Sabbaṃ abhūtaṃ parivajjayeyya.

Thought For Today
Recipe – Ramen Chopped Salad, by Momma Cuisine
Momma Cuisine | I’m not much of a salad-eating gal, but love a hearty and delicious meal that can also be light. So, I created salad recipes that even I would love!
This salad recipe for Ramen Chopped Salad is not your typical Asian-style salad. I took ramen noodles and tossed it with chopped Napa cabbage, dressed in homemade sweet miso vinaigrette, topped with an array of lightly sauteed Asian vegetables and crunchy fried tofu.
I think the best salad recipes have a mixture of salty and sweet flavors with tender and crunchy textures. It makes it fun to eat and delicious to eat.
Once all the ingredients are prepped, drizzle the sweet miso vinaigrette on the ramen and lightly toss. Arrange the vegetables, roasted squash and fried tofu and serve.
Other topping ideas:
- Chopped seaweed
- Toasted sesame seeds
