Read carefully ...

Yes very carefully - look at yourself. As you speak
of others to someone so too would you speak of
that someone to others ... !!!

Celery

Celery is a strongly alkaline food that helps to counteract acidosis, purify the 
bloodstream, aid in digestion, prevent migraines, relax the nerves, reduce blood 
pressure, and clear up skin problems. Celery contains compounds called 
coumarins which are known to enhance the activity of certain white blood cells 
and support the vascular system. Celery’s rich organic sodium content has the 
ability to dislodge calcium deposits from the joints and holds them in solution 
until they can be eliminated safely from the kidneys. Celery is a well known 
natural diuretic and has ample ability to flush toxins out of the body. Celery also 
has significant anti-inflammatory properties making it an essential food for those 
who suffer from auto-immune illnesses. It also contains significant amounts of 
calcium and silicon which can aid in the repair of damaged ligaments and bones. 
Celery is rich in vitamin A, magnesium, and iron which all help to nourish the 
blood and aid those suffering from rheumatism, high blood pressure, arthritis, and 
anemia. Fresh celery juice is one of the most powerful and healing juices one can 
drink. Just 16 oz of fresh celery juice a day can transform your health and digestion 
in as little as one week. 

Magnesium

required for the transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature 
regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of 
healthy bones and teeth.

Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of magnesium. So are, flax 

and sunflower seeds, quinoa, mangoes, almonds.

Magnesium is a component of the plant pigment, chlorophyll. This 

means that all dark green leafy vegetables are particularly good 

sources of magnesium, like kale, swiss chard, arugula, and collards.

Good or bad ...

The past is the practice for the present
The present is the foundation for the future...  

Blame game

Peace

Let Go and Let God

Silence

More and more be still and just BE in 
sharp presence... in total non-judgement.

Have no opinions about people and the 
world, about spiritual teachings and 
teachers. LET GO.

Try it! It comes easier does it not?
Work on this. 

At this time of mental confusion, too
much of information yet none! chasing
after more and more is entangling...

Let go, just BE and in that neutral silent
sharp presence connect with the essence
in all ... and see the world open up to me.

Fr The Avalon Forum

It appears to me you have found the "Truth". 
The truth is, seeking the ultimate truths is impossible. 
Uncover a new truth and two new questions appear 
ad infinitum. To me, "truth hunting" is entertainment.
The real Truth exists in your experience, in a present 
moment based on instinct; facts will never equate to 
"truth" ever. I have no "facts" to back this up but I do 
have my experiences. 

No Coming and No Going

NO COMING AND NO GOING Just before Ninakawa 
passed away, Zen-master Ikkyu visited him. “Shall I lead 
you on?” Ikkyu asked. Ninakawa replied: “I came here 
alone and I go alone. What help could you be to me?” 
Ikkyu answered: “If you think you really come and go, 
that is your delusion. Let me show you the path on which 
there is no coming and no going.” With these words, 
Ikkyu had revealed the path so clearly that Ninakawa 
smiled and passed away.

Uplift or drain?

Different people at different times inspire you, sponge on you
support you or drain you. So it is natural to want to be with
them sometimes, to shun them at other times. We aren't islands.
Relationships are the learning ground for souls. So diplomacy 
is called for here. To be neutral whether they are up and therefore 
uplifting OR down, sponging and draining you. As we give so
we receive. Ask yourself, "What are they mirroring back to me?"

 Go back to basics, be basic, be simple, simply BE ... 

No waste of time. I also feel it shows you something 

about yourself, if you are willing to look in the 

mirror, and be true with and about yourself as well.

Life is

Life is 
what you make of it
years spent in spiritual pursuit
then !
a complete turnaround
to a material life
makes me question 
my authenticity
am i the same person?
what is my value system?
can i take myself seriously anymore?

How do I explain myself?

I sub-stand both; I transcend both
I am neither better in one or the other
The ego pursues this; then that; then yet another
Through it all I AM
I am neither spiritual Nor material
I am neither 
For both are but opposing sides of polarity.
Desire and a lack of desire is the same
the positive and negative pole of a polarity
Both are the higher arcs of the pendulum's swing.

I AM the point of rest
I AM the balance between the two poles
Neither negatively nor positively polarized.
I Am neither the materialist nor the spiritualist
I persist through it all.
I AM - unchanged, unchanging
Not something to be achieved
but to be realized 
in its purity
In the moment.

Be still and I will BE
No matter what mask is used in the outer expression
No matter where I travel; what I read; whom I listen to
I am nearer to me than my breath
closer to me than my thoughts
beyond the mind that describes
That which is indescribable. 
THAT EVER IS 
IN ITS INFINITUDE

Let go of idle searching
Rein in your mind; let it not roam
over the vast pastures of Creation
And when you are ready to really let go

Then as this world closes; 

Beingness opens.

It will be temporary so long as you
persist in this paradigm which is
akin to a mirror reflecting Me but
as a mirror broken a zillion pieces
reflecting Me a zillion fold
fractals of ALL THAT I AM. 
In a continuum of positive to negative.
What beauty! but what a camouflage!

On this you are broken as you strive 
and search and pray to find ME
You see me in all things yet will not
reach me for these are but reflections of ME
To find me is to get past that mirror that
deludes, deceives - the MIND.
And melt into YOURSELF
a fractal merging UNTO ITSELF
not a drop but the OCEAN THAT IT IS.

Kindness

 
I learn little lessons every day...

Ponder on this ...

Do you have the courage to take the first step?

Shifting Sands

Idly I kick at the soft sand
feeling it trickle between my toes
My thoughts stray to the past
Now seen in a mellow glow
All seemed well then....
All seemed sure.

Now with so much more
In so many ways
Yet there is a longing, a loneliness
That tinges everything
Dulling, numbing... meaningless
Making me question everything


Is it because I have awoken?
To the superficiality of personality life
And know the Soul is all that matters?
Am I missing the lost innocence?
Of youthful nonchalance in the midst 
of the weightiness of life
When life was a serious affair!

Striving had meaning
Excelling meant climbing
An invisible ladder of inner growth
Through outer ambition
Leading to a quality life
measured in worth, health, wealth.
Now does it seem too material?

In limbo I am
As I bridge that which is now outgrown 
And that which I have yet to grow into.
The time of change is bound by
break-up, chaos and loss of meaning.
Confusion, maladies of mind and soul
A death knoll!
For without desire life is a drag...

I will find meaning yet
I slowly transform
Into That which I AM
step by step, spiral by spiral I climb
higher, ever higher till
I transcend and reach the 
Zenith - whatever that may BE
I will know when I AM there. 

Silent Whispers

In the stillness of the fathomless deep
I enter into communion with my soul
Silent whispers; unspoken yet sounds
In my heart in inner awareness
The mind rests from its meanderings
Being-ness enfolds me 
In a breathless sigh ...

 

7 Rules of Life

The benefit of green vegetables

At the start of the new millennium the Dalai Lama issued eighteen 
rules for living.
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve 
great risk.
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three Rs: 1. Respect for self 2. Respect for others 
  3. Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful 
stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to 
correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, 
you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. 
Don't bring up the past.

other exceeds your need for each other.

Don't give up

Keep in mind at your lowest low ....
