Love beyond romance

“PEOPLE are consistently drawn to beauty, simplicity and order; to kind, respectful, accepting environments. We are inspired by goodness, humility and the innocence of children. At this time the human heart longs for the experience of kindness, acceptance, respect and peace.” 

Canadian author, mentor and facilitator Judy Johnson’s many programs worldwide revolve around this statement because it is something she firmly believes. Thus, when she speaks about love in a Valentine this week, the discussion may include romantic love but is also very likely to transcend that.

Johnson is Brahma Kumaris Philippines’ guest speaker in a two-week lecture and workshop series that started Feb. 9 and ends Feb. 20. 

On Thursday, she will be at the BK Makati Center to talk about a popular and timely theme, “It’s Time to Love.” This free public program starts at 6:30 p.m.

“The good things in life, the things we long for—love, peace and happiness—we cannot see,” she says. “Rather, each one is a feeling, an experience. We associate our deepest, sweetest feelings and remembrances with situations where we experienced them and the people we experienced them with. Once we remember, the mind opens to a new way of seeing: with an open heart, a stronger heart.”

Judy Johnson’s ‘The 7 Secrets of the Universe’ follows four  teenagers on a quest to decipher reality from illusion

Johnson will autograph copies of her two latest books, which will be available for sale after the program.  “The 7 Secrets of the Universe,” published in July 2014, follows four teenagers at the point of global disintegration, on a quest that require them to decipher reality from illusion.

“The Alphabet Series: Virtues A-Z,” co-authored with Debbie Castle and launched last year, submits that virtues are expressions of “the beauty of the soul” and, as such, “creates a foundation for a deeply satisfying life and (ultimately) a better world.” It is the product of a series of experiential sessions designed to “understand the variety of positive qualities within each human being,” held in Brahma Kumaris centers in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

‘The Alphabet Series: Virtues A-Z’ is about understanding  the variety of positive qualities within each human being
