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

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.

The world is in a panic because of the credit crunch and the fears of economic change and how that will affects millions of people just like you. Things are getting tough, yet when they do, it is important to stop and consider what you and your life are made of. How much fear have you bought into? Has your life been based on credit?

The credit crunch is not just financial, but it is emotional and spiritual too. There is not the emotional and spiritual basis to support these forces which are going into free-fall.

Each of us needs to address our own balance sheet and know what our currency is made of as we spend it in this life. The emotions we have and the life we seek are the currency and the value that we ascribe to what we want and need.

All money and credit is invisible, based upon a belief and both really do not exist.

When the belief and the trust in the belief runs out so does the credit.

In the everyday world this has dramatic consequences upon people’s lives.

However, if you are under the influence of the credit crunch and the emerging economic changes, and everyone will be, regardless of their wealth, stop and consider what money and having money means to you and whether you equate it with Life and well-being.

Pray to the divine within not to just assist you with money but in understanding that no one can own money, it passes on through us, it was one of the first creations of humanity and because of that it has gathered an independent primal force that powers its influence.

Be at peace with the pieces you have, put them together and they will show you how to make more. But be content first with where you are now.

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.

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.

Gentleness is the expression of interdependence

and of the person who is unafraid of the connection

with the varied experiences of Life. [Read more →]

The world is a noisy place.

Noise is part of life, from the sounds of births to a jet plane at high speed, from the laughter of children to the hammering of gun fire, noise is everywhere, and so is silence.

Silence is in everything. When you feel stressed out, worn out, overwhelmed , or in a panic, angry, distressed or reflective, stop and listen to the noise, whatever it maybe. [Read more →]

In every activity that we undertake, in every tragedy we experience and triumph that lifts us up, in the smallest thing and the greatest, there is a time and place. We are here on Earth to learn that all things develop at their own time and will manifest in the right place. That is the quiet pattern that lives in the fabric of all things.

However, when we get caught up in the myth of rush and anxiety, we try to force time and create artificial places for things to happen. Ultimately, every thing that has and is and will be, is taking place and happening right now, within you. [Read more →]
