			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center">When the sunlight falls upon the waves</p>
<p align="center">carefree and glancing as they lap around the</p>
<p align="center">last remains of a sky scraping tower</p>
<p align="center">the young child from the little boat looks up with wondering eyes</p>
<p align="center">&#8216;who made these things?&#8217; his mother catches his thoughts..</p>
<p align="center">&#8216;men who were like gods, men who fell to the earth and could not get up again&#8217;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</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">across the great saltwater lake</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">deep in the refracted depths</p>
<p align="center">white whales harvest the plankton</p>
<p align="center">while a serrated moon</p>
<p align="center">hangs tilted in the blue starred night</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">years pass the child now a man</p>
<p align="center">goes past in a little boat</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">the ruins</p>
<p align="center">they have slipped</p>
<p align="center">from memory and so they do not exist</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>

			<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>
