The wisdom that you seek

is not to be found by searching

but by receiving

if you wish to know the truth that is true for you

sit at the crossroads that is within you

and wait

eventually you will see the truth approaching

and in that moment

you will know in which direction

you should travel

if you search for meaning it will run just out of your grasp

sit

be still

wait

be still enough

to know when truth

aproaches

The only real freedom is freedom from fear

fear comes to us in many disguises

seeking to seduce us into

the identity of anxiety, pain and suffering

as anger glues us to the repetition of unhappiness

so fear makes our world small

and so our minds shrink

we lose the capacity for thinking

for gaining inspiration

for rationality

for love

and for the tastes of consciousness

and the challenges of living

the only freedom is the freedom from fear

and when that freedom comes as light in our clouded states of being

the nature of suffering is understood

and falls away, discarded as an old skin

we, each of us, become shrouded in the mystery of transcendental beauty

the interaction of consciousness with form, body, mind and soul

Holding silence in the heart

generates life force

generating life force

awakens connection

to all living things

and reveals the paradox of inequality

and shows you

the why and how of things

there are no questions to be asked

only answers

which exist as self-evident truths

in the

world of energy and manifestation

judging others becomes

the judgement of oneself

the predilection towards hysteria

and the judgement of others

has become a fixation

in the same manner of

the worship of celebrity…

that which is within you

attracts the correspondence

of that which lives within the world

when you find yourself

in situations of which

you are made

to be detested,

despised and demonised

activate the capacity of love within you

and direct it out into the world

love your enemies enough

that they will embrace self-knowledge

and that your love for them will set them free

from their own mental traps

all of us upon the earth

share the same path

and we tread the same earth

we are all in the same breath

and our aspirations

are in the atmosphere

of our fragile world

fragile because we are fragile

the earth though is far stronger than us

it does not judge us

it only holds us

as we should hold each other

In the wind , if you listen you can hear the voices

seeking to cause the world harm

and the harm is contagious if you believe in it

evil is afoot and it finds its nest in anger,

anxiety and despair

listen to the wind

add your voice to it

speak on the wind

words of help, love and care

of respect

even in the most fearsome gale

words of love are found

in the epicentre

people seek the anger within them

and create it in their lives

speak on the wind

prayers of compassion

words of love

make room for forgiveness

so that all can be redeemed

saint and sinner too

To listen from the heart creates everlasting change

everlasting change comes about

by going beyond your daily self

to where the highest part of you

dwells complete,

liberated from the illusion of will

and the power of will

there are times when the power of will

is needed to overcome

but essentially there is a time

when that will must be surrendered

to the true will

the will of life as opposed to the will of the self

the psyche is a fragile chariot in which the

divine rides hidden in the coachwork

look into the everness of things

and you will

feel the truer will

defining its path

when there is darkness and the world seems far from you

when there is opposition and rumour

and those that you trusted betray you

offer up love and know

that in your heart

is a light, clear and brilliant

know that the light is always there

regardless of the time of day, opinions of others

or the harshness of the times in which we live

there is a great deal of hysteria running in the world,

people are becoming

caught up

in atavistic packs,

like packs of poodles turned to pit-bull terriers

but in a time the pack will lose its instinct

and return to the lap dog state,

mindless and panting…

a holy man i know was thrown into jail

for soothing the anxiety of victims of the chinese earthquake

by offering a prayer he offended the state

even in times of natural disaster prejudice holds greater sway

look to your heart

let the light blaze

be the love

that

dwells

within

offer it up to those that try to harm you

in the face of adversity

look it straight in the eyes

it will not be able to meet your gaze

look to the light that is within your heart

human, rational, transcendental

in every dimension

of your humaness

the light

shines

Change is everywhere, and in everything, and moves in the depths of all living beings

change can not be stopped, it can be diverted

but change finds a way to make itself function

it is the water of time, space and matter

flowing everywhere

if you embrace change you embrace time,space and matter

and they lose their restrictions and are no longer mysteries

butr opportunities for the expression of change

The path to any form of happiness that is regarded with value

is that path which is held with sacredness and respect

sacredness is individual to each of us, what we regard as sacred is unique to us and so it is sacred

respect is individual to each of us, what we regard as respect is unique to us and so it is worthy of respect

sacredness and respect need no endorsement from any other person or institution

they are self-evident and everlasting, they exist as a state of consciousness and within the laws of matter

A wise woman once said

‘Do not point at another with one finger, lest another five point back at you’

We can not judge another

we can not condemn

we regard our opinions as truth

and there is no refuge in opinion

and there is no refuge in truth

facts are not truth

facts can be events

or the report of another’s comments

even observation is interpretation

all of us are bound by prejudice

…tomorrow is my last day on earth…

I have heard that said  by strangers

there is no tomorrow

no yesterday, no here or there

no when or where

no them or us

all fear is a fear of ourselves

when we feel afraid so fear comes

when we are angry so anger comes

fear and anger

prowl

around in

our

antediluvian

senses

when we judge others

we end up becoming trapped

by the very judgements we have made

we end up living in a ghetto of hate and judgement

people make the judgement of others

that come from what already dwells within them

long after actions have faded words linger

words are thoughts and thoughts

are the building blocks of our social environment

they catch our emotions as if they were butterflies trapped

in the soft existential gauze of a butterfly net

judgement is glue of suffering
