As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human
existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere
being. ~ Carl Jung
Only when the light of reason is dimmed by the radiant
sun of wisdom will all things be seen in their just
proportions ~ Alice Bailey
How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines
a good deed in a weary world.
~ William Shakespeare
The Charter of Compassion ~ Karen Armstrong
Make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in
our polarized world. Born of our deep interdependance,
compassion is essential to human relationships and to a
fulfilled humanity. It is a path to enlightenment, and
indispensable to the creation of a just economy and a
peaceful global community. Compassion can break down
political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries.

Keep it simple
Keep it simple, there's no need for you to read all spiritual books under the sun:
“Another delay on the way to Enlightenment is the supposition that one
has to master and assimilate a vast amount of spiritual information in
order to achieve spiritual success. Spiritual libraries usually contain
hundreds of books, in addition to which are endless workshops, training
groups, and diversions that may lead to an intense study of theology,
metaphysics, philosophers, religious histories,
and the like. While valuable information does arise along the way, it
often ends up being more of an interference than a help because the
accumulated erudition reinforces spiritual pride and the self-delusion
of “I know.”
To cut through the complexity, it is really only
necessary to know and apply a few simple spiritual tools, the efficacy
of which is enormously empowered by the consistency of their practice
and continuous application to everything, no matter what, with no
exceptions. To be serviceable and useful, the tool has to be simple and
brief, perhaps consisting of only a single concept. To be remembered is
that spiritual evolution is not the consequence of knowing about the
Truth, but the willingness to become that truth. To learn about
spiritual reality is interesting and has some benefit. It is best to
choose by intuition and attraction a spiritual teacher and teachings or a
school to which one feels aligned and the validity of which has been
verified by consciousness calibration techniques.”

From a Avalon Forum post ....
Fr: a fellow well wisher: RunningDear.
Dear White Buffalo Calf Woman,
Woman of knowledge, versatility, generosity and soul.
I send great blessing and healing to you.
May the wind always be on your back and the sun upon your face
and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.”
Fr: Innocent Warrior:
I've thought this myself, Sunflower. My life is falling apart, it will if I let it, so I have to make my life about something else to save it. The energy is wild at the moment, a lot of things coming to a head, it seems. I've just spent the last few days walking through hell, I'm still numb, still trying to get off my knees, to get out. It pushes us to be the only part of us that can't be touched, the consciousness, the I am. This isn't fun and it's harder than I ever imagined but we're here and I refuse to give up. Uncanny, what you said, about not recognising the threat until it's too late. I have spent the last few days looking at my life, where I am, this world, and I think to myself, wow, how did I walk into the belly of the beast without realising I was doing it? You are not alone, just know that. Never forget, nobody can touch the real us...ever.
Fr Sandy: Hang in Ladies of Strength.........you are on your way with accepting the state of paralysis. You are quietly building strength for the next step.
Something will be coming to move you and when it does we won't see you for dust.............and I will eat my words if this is not your history.
You both have too much on the ball to stay stuck for long so be where you are and get ready as the energy of change is coming and I place my bet on you both being CHANGE MASTERS!!

A Personal Reminder
Guard closely the gates of desire - of emotions, mind and senses
What you let in and what you keep out...
Is based on your value system, your values
Which in turn form your Character
Upon which rides your Soul
Manifesting, experiencing, fulfilling
Its purpose.
Be sure, be firm, be composed,
On your stand - unwavering
to the whims and fancies of desire
which ever rocks the foundation four square
and threatens the Work of the Alchemist
The Soul
As we weave our way through life
We form a solid base upon which we build and grow.
Being too flexible and adaptable
While makes one likeable and maleable
Unfortunately does not form a container
For the Soul.
So stop being so changeable, so fickle, so finicky
Before starting on the spiritual path
First build your character firm and solid
Upon a value system held close to the heart
And qualities of soul stamped into place
Impeachable, pure and whole.
For only then can Spirit descend
And grace the temple of form
in Holyness make Whole.
