<p align="justify">of anger,</p>
<p align="justify">anger is the rage and shame of having no power</p>
<p align="justify">anger too can take you to a place of change when it is truly right to be angry</p>
<p align="justify">but anger though is impulse, it is not a destination for each of us needs to</p>
<p align="justify">go beyond it, to leave its power behind and embrace the power of Love</p>
<p align="justify">anger seeks its own demise, its own transformation but can lose</p>
<p align="justify">its way to healing</p>
<p align="justify">look to the anger within you, see how it moulds your life</p>
<p align="justify">and how the anger of others influences your state of being ,</p>
<p align="justify">anger can be glamourous, even kind, anger can be generous and also blind</p>
<p align="justify">anger seeks its own destruction and understanding</p>
<p align="justify">it is the light of extreme dissatisfaction and the voice of fear</p>

<p align="center"> ONE:</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify"> <font color="#000080">Wisdom has a sadness of its own, pensive like a cello playing in a soft snow fall</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Compassion holds a knowingness that looks into all things with an unblinking eye</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Anger seeks to include everyone in its rage of ignorance and self-defeat,</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Greed seeks solace in having all it can to bury the  oncoming fear</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Lust craves a chance at halting mortality and believes in the tempoary as real</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Illumination lights only what needs to be illuminated for the awakening of the Self happens in the dark</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Loss and learning go together, and love and liberation are good friends.</font></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">TWO:</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="right"><font color="#800000">Love was within us before we came and went, love was in the first cosmic form</font><br />
<font color="#800000">and fell in the first rainfall, love was within us and will be when we forget that we once dwelt</font><br />
<font color="#800000">upon the Earth, love was within the first rising spark of Wisdom and the clear sight of Compassion</font><br />
<font color="#800000">and Love took the journey willingly into the dark matter and confusion of the temporal world in order</font><br />
<font color="#800000">to evolve back to its own recognition again.</font></p>
<p align="center"> THREE:</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><font color="#000080">The human race is a pathway in which Love plies its course, </font><br />
<font color="#000080">a river that flows through time and space</font><br />
<font color="#000080">creating diversity and matter, consciousness and place, </font><br />
<font color="#000080">perception and awakening and the nature of living light</font><br />
<font color="#000080">Love has made the chance for Life </font><br />
<font color="#000080">when it embraced itself openly with Light,</font></p>
<p align="center">
<font color="#000080">for Love and Life make Light and from that all things are:</font></p>
<p align="center">
<font color="#000080">for in Light, Consciousness takes form </font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#000080">shrouding Love&#8217;s constant breath </font><br />
<font color="#000080">and in that come  the two eternal seasons, mortal life and mortal death </font><br />
<font color="#000080">two great teachings of  Love and Light </font><br />
<font color="#000080">by which the Cosmos and Consciousness descend and create form</font><br />
<font color="#800000"> </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#800000"> </font></p>

<p align="center"><strong><em>Take  A Walk Across the Land</em> </strong></p>
<p align="center">Take a walk across the land,</p>
<p align="center">or down the street, extend your hands,</p>
<p align="center">feel the human pulse in all that is there</p>
<p align="center">step back do you feel fear?</p>
<p align="center">Take a walk across your life, or down the memories that make</p>
<p align="center"> the landscapes in your mind, through the crowded market place of emotions</p>
<p align="center">and through the long rememberings of the longing heart,</p>
<p align="center">extend you hands</p>
<p align="center"> ..feel the human pulse in all that is there&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"> do you feel love?</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">2</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em>The Sound of a Single Note<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p align="center">Each of us remains too frightened in our daily lives,</p>
<p align="center">I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,</p>
<p align="center">the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</p>
<p align="center">there are harmonic rhapsodies in the faces of love and fear,</p>
<p align="center">call to them,</p>
<p align="center">like the Pied Piper of Hamlyn</p>
<p align="center"> or the Snake Charmer of Lucknapoor ,</p>
<p align="center">they will come scuttling to the tune,</p>
<p align="center">fear comes like a horde of rats</p>
<p align="center"> because fear is stronger in a crowd and more curious,</p>
<p align="center">love will come willingly for love is willing</p>
<p align="center">and not because the piper calls but that</p>
<p align="center"> love knows that piper in order to heard needs to be followed</p>
<p align="center">until the day that the piper casts the pipe away</p>
<p align="center">Love and fear harmonic interplay</p>
<p align="center">you can travel world on a single note</p>
<p align="center">from future to the past and</p>
<p align="center">the illusion of now</p>
<p align="center">extend your hands and feel the human pulse</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">3</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em>The Finder is Not the Knower </em></strong></p>
<p align="center">we are born to meander through the human pulse</p>
<p align="center">in search of meaning and the celebration of our Self</p>
<p align="center">If you seek to look for God or the answers to your life</p>
<p align="center">stop and feel the human pulse</p>
<p align="center">for all the names of God are found</p>
<p align="center">in the human  world in the beating heart and it essence</p>
<p align="center">if you seek to be comforted, the comfort that is</p>
<p align="center"> within is to be reflected in the creation of friendship</p>
<p align="center">if you seek for answers to your life then stop to know</p>
<p align="center">the way of how you love and why you do</p>
<p align="center"> then give it up and you</p>
<p align="center">will find the truth</p>
<p align="center">whatever you may search for will be found</p>
<p align="center">but on finding it then you must understand</p>
<p align="center">understanding is the discoverer and explorer too</p>
<p align="center">been the finder is not the knower</p>
<p align="center">You may find God, You may find Meaning</p>
<p align="center">You may find Love, You may find fame</p>
<p align="center">Finding is not the Knowing</p>
<p align="center">to know we must give up what we have found</p>
<p align="center">to understand we must give up meaning</p>
<p align="center">to have meaning we must give up all our prejudice</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">4</p>
<p align="center"><em><strong>Unknown </strong></em></p>
<p align="center">In the world and in our heart there is the</p>
<p align="center">divine, unknown, we seek to find  a way to love</p>
<p align="center">which will lead to us been known.</p>
<p align="center">but all things return to the unknown</p>
<p align="center">and the emergent</p>
<p align="center">when you feel alone and lonely</p>
<p align="center">separate and unknown</p>
<p align="center">pause and offer up these states of being</p>
<p align="center">as imperfect prayers to the unknown</p>
<p align="center">and you will find that the</p>
<p align="center">Cosmos and its Descent</p>
<p align="center">will be falling within and up</p>
<p align="center">bathing you in the Unknown</p>
<p align="center">We are the Unknown</p>
<p align="center">the lonely and the content</p>
<p align="center">we are the journey and the last coin spent</p>
<p align="center">we are the meaning and dreaming</p>
<p align="center">and the reflections through human experience</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center"> 5</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em> What We Have Now is Also This</em></strong></p>
<p align="center">All is offering and acceptance</p>
<p align="center">seeking its own delight</p>
<p align="center">all our bitterness is a call for this</p>
<p align="center">all our love and suffering too</p>
<p align="center">what we have now is also this</p>
<p align="center">what we seek is in the seeking</p>
<p align="center">we fall in love with ourselves</p>
<p align="center">this is what we seek</p>
<p align="center">what we have now in the essence of our being</p>
<p align="center">is what we had in the first impulse of our coming into being</p>
<p align="center">we are reflections through human experience</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center"> 6</p>
<p align="center"><em><strong>With a Single Constant Breath Make Ourselves Again<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p align="center">Give up the patterns of your thoughts</p>
<p align="center">the past, wherefores and whys</p>
<p align="center">go beyond comparisons</p>
<p align="center">beyond truth and lies</p>
<p align="center">through the furnace of awakening</p>
<p align="center">through the glamour of illusion</p>
<p align="center">go beyond to</p>
<p align="center">the one unspoken word</p>
<p align="center">there is no this or that</p>
<p align="center">there is no us or them</p>
<p align="center">there is no good or bad</p>
<p align="center">for the Cosmos and its Descent</p>
<p align="center">only moves to find its way</p>
<p align="center">a sunset and sunrise</p>
<p align="center">a moonset and moonrise</p>
<p align="center">fleeting light on fleeting lives</p>
<p align="center">starlight, lovelight, carlights</p>
<p align="center">there is</p>
<p align="center">Awake and be kind to your heart</p>
<p align="center">look out around you</p>
<p align="center">to the mind field, that pattern which you call your life</p>
<p align="center">there the mind field is a vast skein of light</p>
<p align="center">harmonic interludes that create day, birth, night, death</p>
<p align="center">and eternity</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">when the world is at last, swept away ,we will gather up the dust</p>
<p align="center">and with a single constant breath</p>
<p align="center">make our selves again in the image of our being</p>
<p align="center">our creation will be</p>
<p align="center">reflections through human and divine experience</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>Millions of people use e-mail and the internet, but do they understand how it works&#8230;?</p>
<p>Lives rise and fall on a virtual tide, an invisible process, one powered by thought, imagination and  huge resources, which will not last forever.</p>
<p>People I think often feel disassociated in  and by Internet use.</p>
<p>They hide behind aliases and false names</p>
<p>and do not really enter into communication..</p>
<p>communities are created on the web,</p>
<p>but they can be virtual ghettos.</p>
<p>We need to understand how to communicate and imagine</p>
<p>that we are in a face to face conversation with the person</p>
<p>we are communicating with,</p>
<p>even if its an organization or impersonal construct.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>But what happens when the algorithms behind the web hit critical mass?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Every time we use the web we also get a wash of those emotional forces.</p>
<p>Every internet user leaves their emotional mark.</p>
<p>Identity gets mixed up and mutated if we buy into the emotionality that pervades the net.</p>
<p>Ask your self how do you change when you send e-mails, use chat rooms or MySpace or Facebook, Bebo or anything similar.</p>
<p>Think how you change? Why do you use the Internet?</p>
<p>How has it made you view yourself and the world?</p>
<p>The Internet is a virtual world,</p>
<p>still unexplored in its full impact on societies everywhere,</p>
<p>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 .</p>
<p>The internet can be a good thing but at the same thing we need to respect it</p>
<p>as if were part of the Planet Earth otherwise like the Earth now,</p>
<p>having global warming and other forms of eco system collapse,</p>
<p>so  to will  this happen to the Internet.</p>
<p>Create something positive and put it out on the Net,</p>
<p>send out compassion, communication and humanity.</p>
