Christopher Hansard:[When the Sunlight Falls]
When the sunlight falls upon the waves
carefree and glancing as they lap around the
last remains of a sky scraping tower
the young child from the little boat looks up with wondering eyes
‘who made these things?’ his mother catches his thoughts..
‘men who were like gods, men who fell to the earth and could not get up again’
the child wonders,sad thoughts
trawling a memory of what was once
another world, fingers trailing in water
as fish swirl around the little boat
as by thought it moves silently
across the great saltwater lake
deep in the refracted depths
white whales harvest the plankton
while a serrated moon
hangs tilted in the blue starred night
years pass the child now a man
goes past in a little boat
and his daughter wonders the very same as he once did
a hundred years go past
people pass by they do not see the ruins
they do not know what they are
the ruins
they have slipped
from memory and so they do not exist

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

Christopher Hansard:[ Karma, Rebirth and Reincarnation]
People often wonder… what is Karma?
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.
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.
People often wonder …what is Rebirth, thinking it the same as Reincarnation.
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.
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.
People often wonder… what Reincarnation is…
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.
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.
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.

AChristopher Hansard:[Power]
Power is often confused with force, and force is regarded as strength, and in many worldly situations that is true and appropriate when needed.
However, true power in all its forms stems from the relationship a person has with their inner power, and the greatest power is the knowing of when to act, when to not, to be aware of the time of things, for all things have their own time.
The greatest power comes from living in accord with your authentic emotional and spiritual state which can not be defined by anyone other than you and the eternal Self that takes on the material identity that you regard as your personality, day by day. Power comes not from things but from being.
When power is applied it not longer becomes power but another quality of action and intent.
You are potentially more powerful than any man made force or natural cycle or cosmic event or body, you are the summation of a thousand million universes, countless aeons of conscious journeying through many life forms, you are the great navigator and commander of the most profound power of all..the continuity of Consciousness which is the energy that all power is derived from.
Power takes on a conscious form when applied that is why as your inner self grows and matures it becomes powerful, not in ego or desire but in accordance with the cycle of things, there are many on this planet who have power but are not mature, their power comes from the intent of despair and ego, fear and the desire for safety from their inner knowledge that their power will fade thus bringing the fear of mortality.
This relationship to power comes from the fear of change and the misunderstanding of who we are as human beings in the natural and universal world.
We are immensely powerful, we are learning to be immensely responsible, but we can come to that by awakening the immense compassion that lies within us. If one person in the millions on this planet was truly compassionate but for a moment, all us would change our relationship to power and no one would seek it for artificial means.
The power that all people, all beings respond to and understand wordlessly is the frequency of love , in this material world it is the greatest and most enduring of all forms of power. Is is the one we as individuals and as a species run from but it is the hidden impulse in our evolution.

Christopher Hansard:[Are You Happy?]
Are you happy?
Can you ask yourself and find an answer?
There is no quick answer, only a slow one that evolves as you experience your evolution through the challenges of life .
Happiness comes and goes, but its sweetness is a reminder, that beneath the delights of happiness exists a greater joy and contentment that shows us all, the ‘being’ , within the human..
Happiness improves our health and conscious, but the media has hijacked it, turning it into something ‘aspirational’ like a fashion item or latest gizmo, happiness is for us to see beyond ourselves and to be thankful for the life we can make from the life we have.
Happiness is also a choice, both a belief, as an act of faith and a psychological state that shifts our consciousness.
How do we find happiness?
We need to look within for that is where its foundation lies,
and without, not in things, but in our relationships to people,
the natural world and the place we stand in,
as we express who we think we are.
Happiness is trust, a trust in the goodness of life, people and ones Self.
If you can not trust in these, then happiness takes time to emerge into your daily activities and thinking.
Happiness is waiting for you to claim it as your own.

Enemy, Friend and Self
The world can be a confusing place for many of us. When we felt affected by life’s challenges we often finding ourselves falling into the following behaviours, one of Enemy, one of Friend and one of Self. This means that sometimes we act or behave as an enemy, which means we create a territory around us, we exert energy defensively, which different to boundary making. A boundary is a marker created by healthy choices. A territory is a no-man’s land of emotional beliefs that must be defended aggressively at all costs. [Read more →]
