Category — Anger

Seeking, trying to find meaning, healing, loving, having a perfect life

comsuming, been Green and kinder, softer but blinder

in a rush but not knowing why, seeking , sensing, desiring

finding connection, establishing foundations

settling down.. these are some of the demands of the modern world

but they are not a modern life,

life makes its own path,

society creates false visions of it

life is complete in itself

if you can pause, and lowering your defenses

stop to receive the immensity of it

life offers us all that we need

not what we should consume

economic theories have infiltrated the beliefs of personality and identity

money and ethics have become intertwined

yet a flower or a raindrop, a mountain or a weed

they are complete in themselves and are nothing more than what they are

and yet by been just themselves, link one to the other

pause to receive life’s immensity and fecund gifts

then you will discover that when things are brought back to basics

they all come down to thankfulness 

ONE:

Wisdom has a sadness of its own, pensive like a cello playing in a soft snow fall

Compassion holds a knowingness that looks into all things with an unblinking eye

Anger seeks to include everyone in its rage of ignorance and self-defeat,

Greed seeks solace in having all it can to bury the oncoming fear

Lust craves a chance at halting mortality and believes in the tempoary as real

Illumination lights only what needs to be illuminated for the awakening of the Self happens in the dark

Loss and learning go together, and love and liberation are good friends.

TWO:

Love was within us before we came and went, love was in the first cosmic form
and fell in the first rainfall, love was within us and will be when we forget that we once dwelt
upon the Earth, love was within the first rising spark of Wisdom and the clear sight of Compassion
and Love took the journey willingly into the dark matter and confusion of the temporal world in order
to evolve back to its own recognition again.

THREE:

The human race is a pathway in which Love plies its course,
a river that flows through time and space
creating diversity and matter, consciousness and place,
perception and awakening and the nature of living light
Love has made the chance for Life
when it embraced itself openly with Light,

for Love and Life make Light and from that all things are:

for in Light, Consciousness takes form

shrouding Love’s constant breath
and in that come the two eternal seasons, mortal life and mortal death
two great teachings of Love and Light
by which the Cosmos and Consciousness descend and create form

1

Take A Walk Across the Land

Take a walk across the land,

or down the street, extend your hands,

feel the human pulse in all that is there

step back do you feel fear?

Take a walk across your life, or down the memories that make

the landscapes in your mind, through the crowded market place of emotions

and through the long rememberings of the longing heart,

extend you hands

..feel the human pulse in all that is there…

do you feel love?

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

2

The Sound of a Single Note

Each of us remains too frightened in our daily lives,

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

there are harmonic rhapsodies in the faces of love and fear,

call to them,

like the Pied Piper of Hamlyn

or the Snake Charmer of Lucknapoor ,

they will come scuttling to the tune,

fear comes like a horde of rats

because fear is stronger in a crowd and more curious,

love will come willingly for love is willing

and not because the piper calls but that

love knows that piper in order to heard needs to be followed

until the day that the piper casts the pipe away

Love and fear harmonic interplay

you can travel world on a single note

from future to the past and

the illusion of now

extend your hands and feel the human pulse

The Finder is Not the Knower

we are born to meander through the human pulse

in search of meaning and the celebration of our Self

If you seek to look for God or the answers to your life

stop and feel the human pulse

for all the names of God are found

in the human world in the beating heart and it essence

if you seek to be comforted, the comfort that is

within is to be reflected in the creation of friendship

if you seek for answers to your life then stop to know

the way of how you love and why you do

then give it up and you

will find the truth

whatever you may search for will be found

but on finding it then you must understand

understanding is the discoverer and explorer too

been the finder is not the knower

You may find God, You may find Meaning

You may find Love, You may find fame

Finding is not the Knowing

to know we must give up what we have found

to understand we must give up meaning

to have meaning we must give up all our prejudice

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

Unknown

In the world and in our heart there is the

divine, unknown, we seek to find a way to love

which will lead to us been known.

but all things return to the unknown

and the emergent

when you feel alone and lonely

separate and unknown

pause and offer up these states of being

as imperfect prayers to the unknown

and you will find that the

Cosmos and its Descent

will be falling within and up

bathing you in the Unknown

We are the Unknown

the lonely and the content

we are the journey and the last coin spent

we are the meaning and dreaming

and the reflections through human experience

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

5

What We Have Now is Also This

All is offering and acceptance

seeking its own delight

all our bitterness is a call for this

all our love and suffering too

what we have now is also this

what we seek is in the seeking

we fall in love with ourselves

this is what we seek

what we have now in the essence of our being

is what we had in the first impulse of our coming into being

we are reflections through human experience

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

6

With a Single Constant Breath Make Ourselves Again

Give up the patterns of your thoughts

the past, wherefores and whys

go beyond comparisons

beyond truth and lies

through the furnace of awakening

through the glamour of illusion

go beyond to

the one unspoken word

there is no this or that

there is no us or them

there is no good or bad

for the Cosmos and its Descent

only moves to find its way

a sunset and sunrise

a moonset and moonrise

fleeting light on fleeting lives

starlight, lovelight, carlights

there is

Awake and be kind to your heart

look out around you

to the mind field, that pattern which you call your life

there the mind field is a vast skein of light

harmonic interludes that create day, birth, night, death

and eternity

I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,

the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light

when the world is at last, swept away ,we will gather up the dust

and with a single constant breath

make our selves again in the image of our being

our creation will be

reflections through human and divine experience

Can you see yourself alone, in the company of your being,

beyond windswept lives and unlived dreams,

to a place where you stand unaided and strong,

with the Moon and Sun, Venus and Mercury under your feet?

Can you see yourself imagining life into being?

Can you see yourself as both child and parent,

as offspring of cognition and dreams?

Can you see yourself in the shopping mall as a bull fighter

against the raging minotaur inside of you and others?

It is not in the wide streets of our capitals

that the revolution of change will come,

but in the shopping malls

when consumers can no longer buy their crispy donughts,

or trinkets or lottery tickets,

or cheap knick-knacks, or food, or health or a favourite magazine…

…shopping malls have turned consumers into unknowing guerilla warfare experts

skilled in the art of self-deception and the need for fulfillment from things …

can you see your self calling for your real name to be revealed?

For Birth and Death to show you about Life?

Birth and Death are mere puntuation marks in a long sentence

enabling their readers to savour every word of Life

one word at a time,

there is no birth or death

only life

and life is a language

that all us will come to learn in time

can you see yourself imbuded with Life

no longer confused by birth nor death

two sides of the same window

can you see your Self looking through it

to what is on the other side?

Can you see your self not as others see you

but as your inner self does?

Don’t be in a rush to hurry to find the answer

follow each step and you will find

the trace

The world is made of crowds and all of them has a voice,

the crowd is made of men and women and children too

the world is made of crowds,

all trapped by the rumble of their voices and the toning of their phrases

can you count the voices?

Can you find one that calls for the crowds to give up their mental attachments

so each can become an individual..can you count the voices in your home,

your neighbourhood or town,

many say the same thing, many have nothing to say,

many do not know how to speak what is in their hearts,

many do not believe what their hearts have to say

can you count the voices?

On the first day and the last of humanity,

all will speak and every voice can be counted

not from judgement or destiny,

or a chosen few but because every heart will speak anew

can you count the voices a clock made of sound,

counting down counting up,

ticking, tocking

each voice a chime

count the voices and listen to those

that really speaking the language of the heart

for many speak the language of the world

which seemingly echoes the heart but has no foundation in the eternal

Listen, count the voices, are you one of them?

Speakers of the heart?

Have you ever thought to yourself or heard someone say,

” I thought I dealt with this!

I thought it was over and done with!

why did it take so long to deal with it..why Now?

I have wasted all the years, why couldn’t I have dealt with this years ago?’

Because change takes time, like true love, it takes the understanding of time

and the acceptance that change only comes when you are ready..

and often we may think we are ready, but deep within we are not

Change takes time, and time can only be a helper if you see time as agent of change

Time goes in cycles , not in a straight line..

Change goes in cycles, not in a straight line..

There are no straight lines within the growing psyche,

in the inner expression of spiritual change there always is to be found a cycle

of change and time, like two different coloured flowers on one slender plant

Time needs change to give meaning to humanity

and Change needs Time to grow and mature

We are all children of time and change

They are two of  twelve great mysteries that give humanity the impulse of evolution.

People often wonder… what is Karma?

Karma is any intentional process, a thought, action, word or gesture or combination of all that is done with intent and focus. This the primary impulse of Karma. It does not matter whether the intent is positive or negative.  Because such activity creates many patterns that replicate themselves beyond measurement, we all are linked in a karmic fish net, that trawls the bottom of our unconscious karmic ocean.

If we wish to change patterns in our life, we need to understand what prompts our thoughts, actions, words and gestures, and what are the drives behind our intentions and focus. We can change karmic patterns by changing the nature of our intentions to the world, our inner world, outer world and to all people and other living creatures.

People often wonder …what  is Rebirth, thinking it the same as Reincarnation.

Rebirth is the process of suddenly been born as soon as you are dead without any understanding or control over the emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects of dying. If you lived a confused life and died with confusion, fear or any other overwhelming emotion that caused you to feel trapped,then it can be that you will be born immediately, as there are endless wombs waiting to be filled with life.

Rebirth is sudden and without understanding, it is a rush an endless flow and pattern. But you can rise out of that pattern by learning how to become conscious and more aware of your inner state so it does not sabotage your mental state as you die. This leads us to Reincarnation.

People often wonder… what Reincarnation is…

Reincarnation is the conscious application of mental , emotional and spiritual insight to yourself as you die, thus clearing away all the inner fears and projections that emanate around you as you die. You create a choice within you as to how you shall be, you enter into a dimension of choices. And when you know it is right, you have an element of choice over how, when and to whom you will be born.

In the death process if you enter into the state of clarity, you can redeem yourself, heal all your regrets, learn as to the whys and hows of your karmic legacy and inheritance and transform yourself.

Death is the great equalizer but in that you have choice and intention and focus.  Whatever you have done, you can heal in the process of death, and stay in the dimensions between the former life and the possibility of a new one, to enhance your inner evolution and well being.

Bliss and Boredom, silence and noise,

calm and rush, silence and noise, clamour and quietude, dark and light,

to have and not to have,

these are the questions that are asked deep within our everyday selves and we are not normally conscious of the asking. Until, one, some or all of them come rushing out in a surprise guerilla assault of our fragile sense of self. These fuel most people’s search for meaning, comfort and stability.

But they are heat waves that come from the energy our everyday mind when it tries to make sense of our lives, selves and the world.

To move beyond becoming influenced by the rise and fall of all of these, we need to understand that we can let go of trying to make sense of it, and allow the natural sense to make sense of us.

Yes, we need to let go of the searching when fueled by all of these things that I have listed and allow the natural sense within us to show us that there is no search.

Because you are the journey and the destination and you have already arrived, it is just, that at some point in your journey through Life, you forgot. Its like meeting someone from years ago, and you can’t quite place their face or name, but you know that you know them from somewhere.

The natural sense within can show you that beneath the thrum of all of these experiences that I mentioned earlier is a great simplicity, and it is constant and yet as you experience it, it is renewed and so are you.

There will be no more bliss or boredom, but contentment and a knowing of the great laugh that resounds in the universe, and you will taste joy in everything and everyone.

Beyond Bliss, beyond boredom, you will find yourself and like a long lost lover rush to embrace yourself in the experience of the ever constant divine.

People rush in search of meaning, of ‘being’.

People rush in search of understanding, of self-knowledge, as if Wisdom was running out of time, People clamour for sacred truths, for words of power and liberation…

yet if they stopped, but for a moment, they would find what they seek in the atmosphere,

in their own homes, in their heart,

they would find that it all comes down to ‘Becoming’

a state of openess and devotion to a simple experience, that within you now

is all that you need, and that all that you ever wanted to be or have or experience is in

a state of ‘Becoming’, and essentially that is what we are made of, and who we are.

Becoming creates itself and leaves to knowledge of the heart.

Are you disatisfied?

With the way your life is?

The amount of money that you make?

Your health, status, relationships, body, confidence ?

Are you disastisfied with your lack of acheivement.

Well I would like to ask you, compared to what?

Disatisfaction? What are you disatisfied with when compared to…?

If you start to compare …your disatisfaction will fade, because

just like comparison, disatisfaction is fleeting and not true.

Yet it can prompt people to really acheive incredible things and bring them to a place of truth, disatisfied people search for the meaning of things and change, content people do not. How disatisfied are you? Can you sit in your own company?

Can you accept that where you are in your life right now is where you are meant to be?

Disatisfaction is not something you can have for long or cling to, it is both a sensory and an emotional experience that prompts each of us to higher states of change, it is not the goal or the destination, but a process that leads us to knowing who we truly are.

Don’t get caught up in disatisafction, but take the lesson it offers,

give thanks for what it shows in you and move on.

But what of satisfaction?

It is merely disatisfaction at rest and it too is fleeting,

like a Summer shower that comes in the morning it will not last all day.

Disatisfaction is the everyday mind experiencing the underlying knowing that the material world can not offer a lasting peace or meaning, and so it expresses itself through our fears, longing and regrets.

Give thanks for all that,

give thanks for the moments of satisfaction,

the times of disatisfaction and know them both to be

transient and a heat wave of your ego in search of meaning…
