Christopher Hansard:[ silence in the noise]

NOISE

dwells

in a vast

canopy of silence

without silence there can be no noise

beneath the canopy of silence in which noise, din, clamour, raucousness and confusion jostle

beneath this canopy

is the origin of silence

your inner most nature

the essential you

Christopher Hansard:[The Singer that Lives Within the Song]

When you look up into the starlight

you can hear the choirs of ancient voices

that once sung

of praise and beauty

to the simplicity of all things

and then as their time

was spent

so their songs became

part of the old starlight

the fabric of the energy of space

and as their voices touched

a living planet

there,

they made

the start of Life

an impulse to voice

and sound

and creation became the

result

a function of the duality

in the endless riddles

of time

consciousness

and becoming

you can hear every voice

singing

a long and sonorous song

on the arc of light

and space

in the quantity of degrees

the equinox of beauty

and eternity

fit together

a pulse, a wave,

a sudden flicker

a quake, a drum beat

of love,

love,

the eternal fragrance

of becoming, being,

beginnings and endings

the singer that lives within the song

Christopher Hansard:[Anger]

The world is full of it…

of anger,

anger is the rage and shame of having no power

anger too can take you to a place of change when it is truly right to be angry

but anger though is impulse, it is not a destination for each of us needs to

go beyond it, to leave its power behind and embrace the power of Love

anger seeks its own demise, its own transformation but can lose

its way to healing

look to the anger within you, see how it moulds your life

and how the anger of others influences your state of being ,

anger can be glamourous, even kind, anger can be generous and also blind

anger seeks its own destruction and understanding

it is the light of extreme dissatisfaction and the voice of fear

Christopher Hansard:[Love is Within Us]

 

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

The Moment is Illusory

The moment comes fleeting,

illusory and charmed

like a bright star full of inspiration

empowered by the

flash of intuition

that leads us

past the facade of the world,

moments are illusory

there is no now,

formed by the gaps of the brain

we are children of the past

but by seeing the connections

we can jump into the gaps

between moments

and discover

the eternal

 

Living in the moment is a mental rat trap

stop ..

go beyond moments,

in the nanosecond that our brain pauses

between processing billions of  types of information

 

let your self dive

beyond

the brain made world

to

the place of consciousness

 

pause and be still

and there

the

gaps will

open,

vast ,

doorways

to the

underlying

reality

The Four Fists

The First Fist is held high and states aloud, “If you enter into my territory I will defend myself and the consequence will be yours!’

This fist defends territory and the consequences engulf everyone. Territory eventually falls. Boundaries and borders may change but still keep their resilience.

The Second First is held high and states aloud, ” If you do not give me what I regard as mine I will take it from you!’

This fist is afraid and has no trust of the world.

This fist is afraid of aggression but is driven by what it fears most.

The Third Fist is held high and states aloud, ” If you try to take from others or from me I will use all reasonable force to protect my interests and those who I protect.”

This fist believes in the politics of the protector to get what is wants.

All of these three fists believe they are fair, just and compassionate. But all of exact huge costs, people, culture and environment, the present and the future are all altered.

The Fourth Fist is held high and states aloud , ” Look..my fist is unfolding to be a gesture of peace and friendship, join me.”

This fist seeks nothing but unity and cooperation.

It is stronger than the other three but has less attraction, for peace has no glamour or conquest, other than love for all that you fear the most and all that invades and seeks to change what you regard as yours.

Look at the World today, where do you see these four fists being held high?

Banners of human flesh on a strong and forceful wind.

Change Takes Time

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.

What Will You Do?

What will You do when you can not put gas into your car?

What will You do when you can not buy your food at the supermarket?

What will you do if you can not find any water clean enough to drink?

What will you do when the lights go out?

What will you do if your software fails?

What will you do if all that you know suddenly falls apart?

What will you do?

What will you do when the rain fall burns your skin?

What will you do when the rain stops falling?

What will you do when the rain pours down day and night ?

What will you do when the last glacier evaporates?

What will you do when all the knowhow of all that you take for granted is meaningless and cannot save you?

What will you do?

Stand in the light of your own being and try not to be afraid, that is what you can do

When the Zoo gets raided for the meat in the cages what will you do?

When everyone around you is in despair what will you do?

Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid, that’s what you can do ..

Start now and learn how to know what to do,

Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid

Trust the cycle of spiritual unfoldment in the world

This is the sad time of the World versus the Earth, when there needs to be no competition

When the Earth asks you, and that day will come, what did you do? What will your answer be?

The World has no answer and no question. That is why many do not know what to do.

There are two species of humanity, one dwells within The World

The other dwells with the Earth..the choice is , what will you do?

ChristopherHansard:[Credit Crunch and Economic Change for You]

The world is in a panic because of the credit crunch and the fears of economic change and how that will affects millions of people just like you. Things are getting tough, yet when they do, it is important to stop and consider what you and your life are made of. How much fear have you bought into? Has your life been based on credit?

The credit crunch is not just financial, but it is emotional and spiritual too. There is not the emotional and spiritual basis to support these forces which are going into free-fall.

Each of us needs to address our own balance sheet and know what our currency is made of as we spend it in this life. The emotions we have and the life we seek are the currency and the value that we ascribe to what we want and need.

All money and credit is invisible, based upon a belief and both really do not exist.

When the belief and the trust in the belief runs out so does the credit.

In the everyday world this has dramatic consequences upon people’s lives.

However, if you are under the influence of the credit crunch and the emerging economic changes, and everyone will be, regardless of their wealth, stop and consider what money and having money means to you and whether you equate it with Life and well-being.

Pray to the divine within not to just assist you with money but in understanding that no one can own money, it passes on through us, it was one of the first creations of humanity and because of that it has gathered an independent primal force that powers its influence.

Be at peace with the pieces you have, put them together and they will show you how to make more. But be content first with where you are now.
