Love is Purity

Tinggalkan Komentar / English Version, Reflection / Yohanes Kabes

“Love is consciousness returning to itself.” _Yohanes Kabes Love is the moment when you no longer seek validation or anyone’s opinion outside yourself to justify your desires. For everything you see, hear, and observe is not a direct experience of your own. Every opinion, every piece of advice, every so-called wisdom is but a camouflage

Rooted in Silence

Tinggalkan Komentar / POETRY / Yohanes Kabes

By Yohanes Kabes To you, the forsaken branches,cut down by force,severed from your source of life,gazed upon as something unworthy of light.

Kamu Sudah Utuh Sebelum Dunia Mengkotak-kotakkanmu

Tinggalkan Komentar / Refleksi / Yohanes Kabes

Ketika kamu masih merupakan jiwa yang melayang-layang, masih menjadi bagian dari energi alam semesta, Tuhan telah menitipkan sebuah talenta yang identik dengan identitas jiwamu. Bahkan sebelum ia bersatu menjadi bagian dari tubuh fisikmu, kamu sudah utuh — jauh sebelum dunia mencoba mengkotak-kotakkanmu dalam identitas yang dibuat agar kamu mudah ditebak, mudah dikontrol, mudah disetir.Jauh sebelum

Tinggalkan Komentar / Reflection / Yohanes Kabes

“We live in an age where people hide behind religion to validate their egos—measuring holiness by how harshly they judge others.” “Spiritual narcissism is when someone uses God to feel superior, not to learn humility.” Human beings often assume that God is about physical rules—about things that can be seen, touched, and measured by shallow

Tinggalkan Komentar / Refleksi, Versi Bahasa Indonesia / Yohanes Kabes

Kita hidup di zaman di mana orang bersembunyi di balik agama untuk memvalidasi egonya —mengukur kesucian dari seberapa keras mereka menghakimi orang lain. “Spiritual narsisisme adalah ketika seseorang menggunakan Tuhan untuk merasa lebih unggul, bukan untuk belajar menjadi rendah hati.” Manusia sering kali menganggap bahwa Tuhan adalah soal aturan fisik — tentang hal-hal yang terlihat,
