I seem to be much more drawn, as of late, to Eastern writings about God.

Specifically that has meant delving into the Bhagavad Gita.

I’m always struck by how similar all these teachings and stories are … how all comes back to One Truth of Love. It doesn’t matter if it’s Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity … or what.

The story of God and overcoming fear are really, all one in the same.

“Having thus spoken to Arjuna, the Lord again showed his own form, and the Lord, assuming His gentle human form, consoled Arjuna, who was terrified (at seeing the Lord’s Cosmic form) …
The man who realizes ‘It is the Supreme Life that shines through all life’ does not waste words. His pleasures and his love are then all in the soul.He becomes the most enlightened among the philosophers.” — Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 50.

I love this outtake of Arjuna meeting with God, and the idea of not wasting our days away … of, being fully present, if you will.

Tolle, too, is a part of this God Can Be Seen Movement.
