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

Reflections through Human Experience
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
3
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

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.

Christopher Hansard:[Internet Communication and Identity]
Millions of people use e-mail and the internet, but do they understand how it works…?
Lives rise and fall on a virtual tide, an invisible process, one powered by thought, imagination and huge resources, which will not last forever.
People I think often feel disassociated in and by Internet use.
They hide behind aliases and false names
and do not really enter into communication..
communities are created on the web,
but they can be virtual ghettos.
We need to understand how to communicate and imagine
that we are in a face to face conversation with the person
we are communicating with,
even if its an organization or impersonal construct.
The Internet is full of fear, and Google is just a machine, it does not know what is true or not, it processes and replicates.
But what happens when the algorithms behind the web hit critical mass?
Yes a mathematical identity, which an algorithm is ,will come to an end.. the constructs of the Web are influenced by all the emotional forces that are poured into it.
Every time we use the web we also get a wash of those emotional forces.
Every internet user leaves their emotional mark.
Identity gets mixed up and mutated if we buy into the emotionality that pervades the net.
Ask your self how do you change when you send e-mails, use chat rooms or MySpace or Facebook, Bebo or anything similar.
Think how you change? Why do you use the Internet?
How has it made you view yourself and the world?
The Internet is a virtual world,
still unexplored in its full impact on societies everywhere,
and the pollution that is on it, in the form of hatred, pornography and bigotry will seep out through users and through its very existence into the everyday world .
The internet can be a good thing but at the same thing we need to respect it
as if were part of the Planet Earth otherwise like the Earth now,
having global warming and other forms of eco system collapse,
so to will this happen to the Internet.
Create something positive and put it out on the Net,
send out compassion, communication and humanity.
