Spirituality, Self-Knowledge and The Art of Living

Breath

is the resource

from which

all things come

and return to

Today in Switzerland

around a circle

protons

streamed

eventually to be

collided

together

to reveal

the origin

of things

of the big bang

you can see that in a small town any Saturday night

all of these protons colliding

worlds, each one colliding

some are worried about black holes been made

others coo and soothe saying that happens anyway

in our atmosphere and we are ok

but what happens when its turned on

day after day, year after year

when it leaks into the dark matter of humanity

and a collision takes place

people are protons

to

what of the unseen wave of protonic emotion

waiting to collide ,to be set free?

Time

comes

to those

who wait

and to those

who know that

time

is but a yardstick

time reveals its

essential

uselessness

its great gift

that we, all of us,

you, me

have all the time in the world

even when it feels

that the world is running out of time

the univerese is not a wound up spring

and there is no master clockmaker

or one who holds the key

to the clock face

Social Hypnosis

emotional white noise

fixed emotions

staring at a blank wall

but been told what to think

the e-numbers in food

and the lack of free thinking

all of these are emotional pollution

what do you take in, and think it to be your own?

savage beasts are neutered by the new age orthodoxy

and all is well

on the morning of the first day of 2012

what will happen?

The same as it always does

the planets will move in accordance with inner things

and the meanings will be made more urgent than they are

the world after all  is held in a jar

while the Earth expands in every place and thought

To all the trees that have grown

through the years of sweat and history

to those trees that card the edge of time

to those that grew and regrew

the seeds that hold the

cycle of up and down

who are guardians of our heritage

who regulate the world

if you want to know the truth of things

seek out one of these ancient ones,

Living Elders of the Earth

then all that you know and do not know

will make sense

and you will undestand the path of growing

A holy man was brought food each day by people for him to eat.

After receiving this food he would give it all away to those

he regarded as less fortunate than himself

after a while the holy man died

on his way through the inbetween relams

of life and death and life

a passing god grabbed him firmly by the shoulder and said

‘You, you are trying to make your way to heaven aren’t you?’

‘Yes’ , said the holy man

‘Well,’ said the god,’you won’t get in,

don’t you know

that?’

‘What do you mean,’ replied the astonished holy man

‘In order to find heaven you have to know how to receive,’ replied the impatient god

‘I received all that I was given,’ said the holy man

‘No!,’ said the god, ‘as soon as you were give you gave it away again, you did not receive the givers

just what was given, you did not partake in what they gave you before you passed it on’

said the god looking at the bemused holy man

‘I understand,’ said the holy man, ‘What now?’ he said to the god

‘Go back and life your life over as yourself and learn to receive truly ,

learn to receive as if you were those who gave..’said the god

..and that is what happened…

there is always

the opportunity

for change

regardless

of how you may feel right now

tomorrow is a new time for change

even the past

can provide the

seeds for new growth

there is always change

and renewal,

rejuvenation

and

 wholeness

When you are caught up in rush

and in overwhelm

who is it that reacts to these?

which you is angry?

which you feels pain?

which you feels hopeless ?

which you wants to change and find a better life?

which you?

There are times when doubt exceeds your clarity

times when darkness seems greater than light

fear would wish you to see things that way

fear is the ultimate consumer

hell a shopping mall of unreal choices

of liberty dressed up as spam

breathe in the electricity

that dwells within you

and life

lights up all your dark places

You can look forward

You ca look backwards

You can look at the moment

but what do you see?

You can look inward

You can look outward

you can look

what do you see?

Backwards, forwards

now, past,present

there comes a time

when looking turns to seeing

seeing to vision

vision to receiving
