Entering a Season

Caravaggio


Everything is working inside and outside to make us grow faster. We are entering a season where we are asked to offer the fruits that we have in our homes, we cannot keep eating and digesting them ... we need to offer this teaching to others that are searching for what we were searching.

The Stars



Stewart Martin:Whirling Dervishes-St. John the Divine NYC

The stars are that last barrier or veil hanging between us and God,
they have endured so much and are patiently bearing their course
for another kingdom to burst into fruition within us.

They are the guardians of the night thrown into an infinite diamond

carpet by the hand of God. This rich darkness sprinkled with light

is a ball gown spinning in ecstasy as it holds it's beloved like a

divine couple expanding infinite and divine Love and breathing

and dancing in the cosmos.

The Beauty of the Divine

Gustave Moreau


I love the image of Jacob and the Angel.

The hard thing for me is Remembering what I am surrendering to:

The beauty of the divine, in me and around me. 

This puts my petty struggles into perspective.

 I forget ...It is such a small step. So close at hand always,

if I can just remember what I am surrendering TO ...

Desire and its Realigning

Eugene Delacroix

So rein in desire, do not desire----better sunshine, more food and

turn your Eros to the Soul. 

The Greeks said that Eros gives wings to Psyche (the Soul). 

I say desire and its realigning is a most potent

weapon in the arsenal of the true Philosopher.  

It is interesting to sit down and really ask,

what am I doing with my Eros? 

Christian morality messed with this one and connected

Eros and Desire with the outlawed sexual functions? 

William Blake makes many references to Desire, of its proper uses. 

Do not just say the words and expect something to happen. 

Tomorrow morning your machine will wake up again---

what do you desire?? Desire to change, see what happens. 

This is the secret… 

Using the energy of Desire, to be present.

Something "Other"

Antonio da Correggio



A machine cannot remember itself, at best it can have a connection to the outside world through the lower centers and an instinctive awareness of its surroundings. The act of self remembering is when something "Other" than the machine kicks in or connects, and how can that happen?

I put it to you that when you are not present and suddenly that familiar connection occurs, that it is something outside the machine that "arrives". At this point you can make a right effort and try to prevail and sustain the state for a little while longer.

I urge you...



I urge you, go on quickly, look ahead, not behind. Sense what you are missing out on and please do not be content with what you have achieved to date. As you awaken further your whole life must be guided by a desire to become closer, at one with the Gods. This longing will grow in the Soul fed by beauty, your efforts, and assistance from the Gods, all of which must be accepted by you.
