Just quit what you're doing and just BE ...

Once you choose hope, anything is possible.

 

A man with much knowledge is still a man ...

 
Therefore experience has to go hand in hand with knowledge.

Timely

Quote from Sogyal Rinpoche

Imagine that you had gone all your life without ever washing, and then one day you decide to take a shower. You start scrubbing away, but then watch in horror as the dirt begins to ooze out of the pores of your skin and stream down your body. Something must be wrong: You were supposed to be getting cleaner and all you can see is grime. You panic and fling yourself out of the shower, convinced that you should never have begun. But you only end up even more dirty than before. You have no way of knowing that the wisest thing to do is to be patient and to finish the shower. It may look for a while as if you are getting even dirtier, but if you keep on washing, you will emerge fresh and clean. It’s all a process, the process of purification.
Whenever doubt arises, see it simply as an obstacle, recognize it as an understanding that is calling out to be clarified or unblocked, and know that it is not a fundamental problem but simply a stage in the process of purification and learning. Allow the process to continue and complete itself, and never lose your trust or resolve. This is the way followed by all the great practitioners of the past, who used to say: “There is no armor like perseverance.” 

Your way and my way ...

You have your way. I have my way.
As for the right way, the correct way and the only way
it does not exist.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~

first of all is it  rea ll y  a sphere ?

 

It is important to start a new journey, a new habit,
a new personal dispensation only when the time
is right. Something started at an inauspicious time
faces much impediments which leads to failure
which eats away at one's resolve, one's belief in
oneself and in one's value system. And this sets one
back a little.
Vegetarianism was so important for me. I got started
finally yet at a time when it just did not work for me.
It failed; I felt I failed; desire grew anew, strengthened
and every inch given to desire once restrained makes
it strong a thousand fold.
So instead of just being vegetarian I am tussling with,
in a constant tug-of-war with the 'starting to be' phase.
So do not start on austerities when the time is not right
when it is doomed to failure from the start.
The next time it becomes that much harder...

Know that it is not my resolve, it is just not the right time
Rest in the KNOWING that I can surmount ANYTHING
When there is a need to I CAN DO IT.

We know this yet oft forget ...

Since everything is a reflection of our minds
everything can be changed by our minds.
~ Buddha ~

Gods, religions and wars

It seems that the religious texts are a manual for how events will
happen so as to realize the agenda of that religion's  Creator aka
Alien; adherents of that religion make sure what is "predicted" in
the text is followed through. So many religions, many agendas,
human puppets to make their religious stories real - war, mayhem,
beheading races, inter-racial war, famine (yes, the scientists create
the pestilence and let loose upon the world in accordance to religious
texts) to keep humanity on their knees praying to these alien beings.
And the working out of events on Earth is in keeping with some non-
physical plan they have for what they want on Earth and the process
seems to be through what is scripted in religious texts.
So these Creators' scripts is all about war, killings, pain and suffering.
How then can we say we want peace? How then, can we blame the
human beings who are manipulated for good or evil from above and
below?

Yet it seems that there are many who see something even more
momentous than these petty stories panning out ... something bigger
than the little creator gods...

Dare we believe .... ?

A little Shiva?

 

 

A reader said this to me ... to dive into the

pain... to feel deep into it till I break free

into bliss. A therapist told me she went

deep into her pain till she broke free of it.

Hmmm... I have experiened so much pain

with Anand's autism ... yes I wallowed in

it. Now I am just 'jaded' ... no break throughs,

just a tacit acceptance of that which is just

beyond explanation, a feeling of being a toy

in some higher beings' hands makes me livid!

 

 

 

 

Looking at ourselves in ways that we are unaccustomed to is not an
easy thing to do. But it is the key to emotional freedom...

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.”

Excerpt From: David R. Hawkins. “Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment.”

9 coping tips for empaths

From a Avalon Forum post ....

Fr: Snowflower:When SHTF isn't a huge catastrophe the whole world feels all at once. It is a hundred thousand billion little things happening to humans all over the planet. Like a slow tide creeping onto the beach that just keeps coming. Eventually it swallows the world. Without being recognized as a threat until it's too late.

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.
