There Is A Saying ...

There is a saying 

that no moment of self remembering 

is every wasted 

because a moment out of time 

is a moment of increased being.

Often Times I Set Scale ...

Often times I set scale 

by the lives of the people around me 

and what is happening in their lives in terms of real suffering. 

This also enables me 

to count the good and wonderful blessings in my life 

and use a scale set at the high point 

of the love and joy of living this life 

and the beauty of the nature 

and the planets and the sky at night.

Scale and Relativity...

Scale and Relativity is quite the profound topic, 

yet it also has the ability 

to shrink things down to a more reasonable awareness 

and gives us the capacity to take a breath 

and begin anew 

and realize the value of adjusting attitudes, 

not believing in the l’s.

How Much Efforts ...

DaVinchi

“How much efforts 

has it taken for me to reach this point in my existence 

as a soul as a human being?

Maybe there should be more of these moments 

of acceptance and just being here."

Contemplation Is Nothing Else...

“Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, 

peaceful, and loving infusion of God, 

which if admitted, 

will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love.”

A Quote ...

A quote from Jeanne de Salzmann struck me recently. 

It was something like 

"Being Present to oneself". 

It hit me in a different spot. 

Being Present to my myriad of i's. 

Being Present to my superficial self. 

Being Present to my wishing to delve deeper. 

Being Present to my life and accepting it. 

Being Present to what is right in front of me. 

It really humbled me. 

And the aim to keep going, to delve deeper.

I Think That Is Key...

Alphonse Mucha

I think that is key - 

to be connected to the still and quiet. 

Like you said "not do anymore 

and just be in the quietude of the greater force of Love". 

It doesn't seem to matter 

what great efforts I make or intentions I have 

if I am not letting this divine quietude flow through me.

Aim Becomes...

Aim becomes the inspiration. 

One becomes filled with the Spirit 

to work towards the Aim. 

There is real joy and Love, 

the Eros of the path, 

when one is filled with the desire 

and energy of the Aim. 

If we view everything we do in our life 

as Being in Service to our Aim 

then it is much easier to Walk the Path.

There Is A Level ...

"There is a level at which the devil cannot enter.

The whole idea must be to get there.

If we cannot, 

we must at least remember that such a level does exist.

Crime cannot exist in the face of positive emotion.

If we cannot have positive emotion, 

we can still remember that it is the one, 

the only safeguard in the long run."

Let Gratitude Be The Pillow...

“Let gratitude be the pillow 
upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. 
And let faith be the bridge 
you build to overcome evil and welcome good.”

I Find The Best Way ...

I find the best way to transform negativity 

is to go to a higher place 

using some of the work tools to help me get there. 

Having I's about negative emotions 

seems to make them more real. 

If we are really being true and honoring our inner world 

giving it the esteem and credit and respect that it deserves, 

then we will put it first above and beyond.

The lower consumes the higher' 

is a law we can all verify to be true.

Let Thought Become Your Beautiful Lover...

Let Thought Become Your 

Beautiful Lover

Let thought become the beautiful Woman.

Cultivate your mind and heart to that depth

That it can give you everything

A warm body can.

Why just keep making love with God's child-- Form

When the Friend Himself is standing

Before us

So open-armed?

My dear,

Let prayer become your beautiful Lover

And become free,

Become free of this whole world

Like Hafiz.

This Is From Mervyn...

Gustave Courbet

This is from Mervyn. 

It is a reminder to me of third force 

and aim that negative emotion stops h12. 

That is quite shocking considering how much time 

people generally spend expressing negative emotions.

We Can Honor...

We can honor the negative I's in such a way 

that we are also acknowledging the I's are not real, 

and that the moment is too precious 

to lose ourselves in those I's.

Be Still...

“Be Still and know that I am God.”

I’ve heard this bible verse countless times 

but only recently gained Understanding of its deeper meaning. 

It was like God smacked me down and said, 

how can you ever *hear* me 

if you don’t stop talking? 

How can ever be guided by my Divinity 

when your mind is so damn busy?

You must learn to *listen* said the voice.

I am everywhere. 

I am in the wind. 

In the trees. 

In the sunrise. 

In the moving river and the bubbling fountain. 

Can you hear me now?

It was like a fuzzy picture becoming clear.

Yes Lord, I hear you now!

If We Cannot Reach Silence...

If we cannot reach silence or stillness 

at least we can observe those I’s 

that are blocking our way.

I've Been Blessed...

William Blake

I've been blessed to help be a "midwife" 

to a few Souls as they've transitioned 

from one realm to the next in the past few years. 

If we can hold a state of loving presence, 

without fear, 

we are able to give a joyful service 

to our loved ones 

entering the next realm.

By Searching...

By searching for the Miraculous, 

I've discovered wonderful secrets. 

Joy is always possible, 

even in the heaviest of situations. 

Through presence, 

divided attention and the grace of the Divine. 

Joy takes me to World 24 and higher.

The Art of Happiness...

“The art of happiness is also the art of suffering well. 

When we learn to acknowledge, 

embrace, and understand our suffering, 

we suffer much less. 

Not only that, 

but we’re also able to go further 

and transform our suffering into understanding, 

compassion, 

and joy for ourselves and for others.” 

~Thich Nhat Hanh
