<p align="center">Political Correctness</p>
<p align="center">was invented by the Devil</p>
<p align="center">who attends</p>
<p align="center">an anger management group</p>
<p align="center">for the dammned</p>
<p align="center">run by</p>
<p align="center">an angel that used to be a social worker</p>
<p align="center">and no one understands</p>
<p align="center">the strategy he has planned</p>

<p align="center">a thousand proclaimers</p>
<p align="center">warn the people of things</p>
<p align="center">to come</p>
<p align="center">but do not look</p>
<p align="center">at the ancient teacher</p>
<p align="center">beneath their feet</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">I was asked once ,</p>
<p align="center">&#8216;what do you believe?&#8217;</p>
<p align="center">My reply was and is</p>
<p align="center">&#8216;I believe in the eternal that dwells in the human state,</p>
<p align="center">the movement of consciousness</p>
<p align="center">of clear light and slowness</p>
<p align="center">of the everchanging</p>
<p align="center">and the unspoken path</p>
<p align="center">that dwells in every being</p>
<p align="center">that lives in the ten worlds</p>
<p align="center">and beyond,</p>
<p align="center">in the simple</p>
<p align="center">and the profound&#8217;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">having found my answers unacceptable</p>
<p align="center">confusion reigned</p>
<p align="center">its natural</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">Political Correctness</p>
<p align="center">is political control</p>
<p align="center">it is surveillance</p>
<p align="center">of the individual</p>
<p align="center">without the cameras</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">The time will come</p>
<p align="center">when even an atheist will be</p>
<p align="center">crucified for such a belief</p>
<p align="center">a hindu and a jain,</p>
<p align="center">a buddhist and a druze</p>
<p align="center">a christian and a communist</p>
<p align="center">will all be held in contempt</p>
<p align="center">of the state</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">it is said the devil is in the details</p>
<p align="center">he once told me that he is just misunderstood</p>
<p align="center">and god feels like that too</p>
<p align="center">well, i said both of you are just</p>
<p align="center">bit players in the drama of time</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">both of you concerned</p>
<p align="center">with political correctness</p>
<p align="center">but then both of you are related</p>
<p align="center">devil and god</p>
<p align="center">but both of you forget</p>
<p align="center">that life is not about the outcome</p>
<p align="center">but the attempt</p>
<p align="center">there is no fall or rise</p>
<p align="center">no sanctuary or prize</p>
<p align="center">the spirit is self realising</p>
<p align="center">and that is the</p>
<p align="center">only truth and deities, leaders</p>
<p align="center">and those who want control are terrified</p>
<p align="center">of that, of</p>
<p align="center">the story tellers and the poets</p>
<p align="center">the magic people and the inbetween walkers</p>
<p align="center">the mountain holders</p>
<p align="center">and stone collectors</p>
<p align="center">they do not conform</p>
<p align="center">to the supermarket stacking</p>
<p align="center">of political correctness</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">I have seen the face of war</p>
<p align="center">and know the haunting</p>
<p align="center">rush of meaning as it trickles with the blood</p>
<p align="center">in dying moments</p>
<p align="center">people see the truth</p>
<p align="center">of their own divine humanity</p>
<p align="center">and reject</p>
<p align="center">all constraints</p>
<p align="center">as they look</p>
<p align="center">into the clear light</p>
<p align="center">and go beyond the whisperings</p>
<p align="center">of gods or politicians</p>
<p align="center">to ride the note of a flute</p>
<p align="center">to their true home</p>
<p align="center">only to stay awhile before returning</p>

<p align="center">the child wonders,sad thoughts</p>
<p align="center">trawling a memory of what was once</p>
<p align="center">another world, fingers trailing in water</p>
<p align="center">as fish swirl around the little boat</p>
<p align="center">as by thought it moves silently</p>

<p align="center">and his daughter wonders the very same as he once did</p>
<p align="center">a hundred years go past</p>
<p align="center">people pass by they do not see the ruins</p>
<p align="center">they do not know what they are</p>

<p align="center">they have slipped</p>
<p align="center">from memory and so they do not exist</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever thought to yourself or heard someone say,</p>
<p>&#8221; I thought I dealt with this!</p>
<p>I thought it was over and done with!</p>
<p>why did it take so long to deal with it..why Now?</p>
<p>I have wasted all the years, why couldn&#8217;t I have dealt with this years ago?&#8217;</p>
<p>Because change takes time, like true love, it takes the understanding of time</p>
<p>and the acceptance that change only comes when you are ready..</p>
<p>and often we may think we are ready, but deep within we are not</p>
<p>Change takes time, and time can only be a helper if you see time as agent of change</p>
<p>Time goes in cycles , not in a straight line..</p>
<p>Change goes in cycles, not in a straight line..</p>
<p>There are no straight lines within the growing psyche,</p>
<p>in the inner expression of spiritual change there always is to be found a cycle</p>
<p>of change and time, like two different coloured flowers on one slender plant</p>
<p>Time needs change to give meaning to humanity</p>
<p>and Change needs Time to grow and mature</p>
<p>We are all children of time and change</p>
<p>They are two of  twelve great mysteries that give humanity the impulse of evolution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People often wonder&#8230; what is Karma?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>People often wonder &#8230;what  is Rebirth, thinking it the same as Reincarnation.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>People often wonder&#8230; what Reincarnation is&#8230;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
