The kindness that you seek in others

can be found within yourself

the kindness that you are afraid of receiving

will wait until you are ready to receive it

waiting close by like a fathful friend

there is kindness everywhere

if only you stop to see

kindness is the source of community

and of healing and understanding

if you seek wisdom, knowledge, spirituuality

first develop kindness

and you will find all other things accrue naturally

kindness needs nothing but itself

and is everywhere waiting to shared

There is a Promise

that is hidden

in all things

it waits to

be discovered

offering words

of love

and hope

of illumination

and shows

you

the continuity

of all things..

that there is

one eternal season

and that the stages

of humanity

are the spring,

summer,

autumn and winter

the day and night

the first kiss of life

the first kiss of death

all contained in

the query, question

and surprise that makes you wonder

what the promise itself may be..

we are all like incense on the wind

we live as both fragrance, ash

fire, dust, intent ,

and

for a time we burn

and are gone

there is a promise

it waits in the hearts

of everyone

a true romance

of a soul’s meander through

the psyche

and the pyche’s leap

to consciousness

we should take the time

to bow to the humble

and the small

for in such things and people

the promise speaks

the most

if you search for god

or happiness

wealth or a brand new car

a golden lover or bright new dream

pause and stop

to know that

there is a promise

dwelling in between

the rush and rapture

of what you call your life

There is a promise

it waits for you

every day and impression

each passing year,

in tears and laughter

the promise waits

a quiet voice, it speaks

waiting for you to hear

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 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

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.

What will You do when you can not put gas into your car?

What will You do when you can not buy your food at the supermarket?

Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid, that’s what you can do ..

Start now and learn how to know what to do,

Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid

Trust the cycle of spiritual unfoldment in the world

This is the sad time of the World versus the Earth, when there needs to be no competition

When the Earth asks you, and that day will come, what did you do? What will your answer be?

The World has no answer and no question. That is why many do not know what to do.

There are two species of humanity, one dwells within The World

The other dwells with the Earth..the choice is , what will you do?

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.

Bliss and Boredom, silence and noise,

calm and rush, silence and noise, clamour and quietude, dark and light,

to have and not to have,

these are the questions that are asked deep within our everyday selves and we are not normally conscious of the asking. Until, one, some or all of them come rushing out in a surprise guerilla assault of our fragile sense of self. These fuel most people’s search for meaning, comfort and stability.

But they are heat waves that come from the energy our everyday mind when it tries to make sense of our lives, selves and the world.

To move beyond becoming influenced by the rise and fall of all of these, we need to understand that we can let go of trying to make sense of it, and allow the natural sense to make sense of us.

Yes, we need to let go of the searching when fueled by all of these things that I have listed and allow the natural sense within us to show us that there is no search.

Because you are the journey and the destination and you have already arrived, it is just, that at some point in your journey through Life, you forgot. Its like meeting someone from years ago, and you can’t quite place their face or name, but you know that you know them from somewhere.

The natural sense within can show you that beneath the thrum of all of these experiences that I mentioned earlier is a great simplicity, and it is constant and yet as you experience it, it is renewed and so are you.

There will be no more bliss or boredom, but contentment and a knowing of the great laugh that resounds in the universe, and you will taste joy in everything and everyone.

Beyond Bliss, beyond boredom, you will find yourself and like a long lost lover rush to embrace yourself in the experience of the ever constant divine.

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.
