Music Can Name...


Gabor F. Peterdi


Music can name the unnameable 
and communicate the unknowable.

I Remember When Mervyn...




I remember when Mervyn lived in a house in Queretoro, 
with six rooms upstairs, just before he passed. 
He had five rooms to be used by visiting students 
and the sixth he had set up as a library, 
which he was kind enough to show me one day. 
He spent significant time in his library 
studying conscious beings and their works 
and I saw that this was part of the food he was digesting 
and using to grow his being.

Ask...





Ask for a little more magic. 
The soul doesn't "think" in a linear way. 
If we can get away from our intellects 
and look more for the miraculous, 
ahhh, that is a great aim.

Let Us Simply...


Michael Maln

Let us simply stay in this moment now, 
observe the light around you, 
the objects, 
everything simply as it is in this moment. 
If we were painters, 
or any kind of artist this is how you begin. 
It is the same with Self remembering. 
We are simply here, 
like a shaft of light that can enter into a room. 
Who would notice? 
Yet, as the journal mentions, 
when the soul and machine are in balance 
we can observe and notice, 
begin to allow what is really and truly “US” to emerge.

We Shall Not Cease...





We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Maurice Nicole Writes...


Paolo Veronese

Maurice Nicole writes that Lucifer fell 
because his own version of what was true 
was more important than what was good 
and that Jesus points out 
that in the beginning of our inner journey 
we adhere to the literal version of truth, stone. 
Then the next step is water, a higher version of truth, 
the next wine, the highest 
and then hopefully we realize what is good 
and then which is the highest. 
That truth can be cruel, 
unrelenting and separate us from good, 
whereas what is good merges us with the higher.
Perhaps relating to what is good is why Mervyn, 
toward the end of his life 
spent most of his time teaching us about love, 
beauty and compassion. 
And being present with us, 
whereas earlier in his teaching 
he had made considerable efforts 
to teach us about the 48 laws, etc. 
Mervyn appears to have gone to "The Good" 
from the Truth 
so he did all he could to help us make this transition.

Lucifer Is A Fallen Angel ...


Alexandre Cabanel

Lucifer is a fallen angel. 
The “I” that I just had is
when in a beautiful state of presence, 
losing that connection
due to negative I's or emotions, 
is the manifestation of that fall. 
So really,
 the devil is nothing but the loss of connection 
to the higher and falling from that divine state.

I Have Verified...





I have verified increasingly 
that the more mysterious parts of my inner world 
so often connect with the magic of the divine 
in a similar hibernating state. 
I know that seeds have been planted in me 
which have gone quietly underground. 
Meanwhile the act of holding myself back from interfering, 
waiting patiently for some grace that always comes, 
allowing higher forces to gently grow 
without my interference, 
ahhh! that is the miracle. 
And then when the time is right, 
what springs to life 
is oh so much more beautiful than I could have imagined or planned, 
and always so surprising.

Nothing Is A Waste...

Our Souls Are...





 Our Souls are the life force 
bringing harmony to this realm 
and we should not forget the importance of this harmony. 
Sometimes when I truly forget myself, 
features, even Essence, 
I can connect to that Great note and be in full gratitude. 
The Note is calling 
and we open our ears to its sweet ringing.

One Of My Favorite Things...





One of my favorite things about Mervyn 
is that he spoke to the “future us”, 
to the person we could become, 
to our highest potential. 
He left us each some breadcrumbs to follow, 
some clues to our path forward. 
I’m still sorting out exactly what they meant, 
but I am constantly challenged 
and inspired by these hints.
