There's A Connection...

Giorgio Vasari 

There's a connection to beginnings, 

to fresh starts. 

I see that for me patience is required. 

Before clearing away the old growth, 

I have to wait a bit 

so things don't wither and die. 

As with gardening 

(in which I am NOT accomplished), 

I do know to wait to clear some of the old brush, 

as the weather is volatile 

and can cause the new growth to die. 

So patience. 

And with the patience 

a wonderful anticipation 

of the beauty of this season.

Emotion Is Energy...

 

Emotion is energy. 

It is something that can’t be contained 

or easily directed. 

I find the only way to use it correctly 

is to realize that it is just a type of hydrogen 

and direct it. 

Otherwise I just waste it.

In The Painting...

 

Remedios Varo

In the painting, 

the character is walking through life 

yet connected to the eternity.

Above and below. 

The i’s are all around. 

Colorless. Not alive. Not real.

What has been helpful 

is to watch the i’s and not fight them. 

To transform them.

And realize that they are not mine per se. 

Mine and not mine. 

As I transform - 

get present to the i’s - 

They are brought into the light. 

Illuminated as the character in the painting is. 

The i’s go from crystallized forms 

to sand melt away.

That realization that the i’s 

not only not real yet also humanities i’s.

That we can illuminate. 

To illuminate. To transform. 

To bring from the crystallized form 

into the formless by releasing them. 

Releasing them from the crystallized form.

So not only to fight/try 

to stay still with the i’s - 

And also to elevate them.

Sometimes...

 

Sometimes God reveals some great thing 

just to manifest his glory.

~St. Teresa of Avila

The Soul Sees...

 

The Soul sees what the machine cannot. 

It will protect its machine 

and is discriminatory 

when raising energy around those that cannot be. 

It is difficult 

when we are faced with the desire to grow 

in second and third line work. 

The god’s will not leave a student 

as long as the student is evolving 

and making efforts along the first line. 

The growth of the school 

and introductions to others 

generally come from something higher, 

and it is these chance meetings 

that have a different “ring” to them. 

“To Be or not to Be, that is the question ...” 

Be careful when you fish in a river, 

as your bait may be taken by the wrong sort of fish.

I Have Been...

I have been going through 

a dark night of the soul for the last two months. 

Feels like it's never going to end. 

I had the hope to feel 

this spark of light inside me on this day, 

but I can only hear a voice 

saying that this pain is leading me 

to a new state of being, 

that there is wisdom behind this. 

So I can only surrender to this 

(most of the time) 

unbearable pain that burns inside me.

Then I Remember 

the mysterious ways the soul 

has to grow and become closer or reunited with God. 

I guess that is what is called Faith. 

Some pain goes beyond I´s, 

and maybe helps to burn the false personality. 

Some other pain 

is the result of Imagination and I´s.

Mervyn...

 

Rene Magritte

Mervyn just gave me a photograph 

of a nonexistence moment I had. 

It was very interesting and useful. 

As soon as he said I had just been nonexistent, 

I recalled the moment, 

and the first thing I noticed 

was a familiar feeling of being like that 

all through my childhood. 

Then I noticed it was inner considering 

that had triggered it! 

Maybe that can be a way of dealing with it; 

working on what makes you go into inner considering.

True Love...

 

True Love is eternal, infinite, 

and always like itself.

It is equal and pure,

without violent demonstrations:

it is seen with white hairs

and is always young in the heart.

~Honore de Balzac

One Time...

 

One time Mervyn came to our house 

and he had received a notice of divorce proceedings. 

He asked to play 

the great Queen of Hearts singer Pavarotti -- 

and we did for hours. 

He used the music 

and the emotional energy being produced in him 

to go higher and higher in presence, 

it really was extraordinary 

to be part of this experience with him, 

it was like the air was burning 

with heat and radiance of higher energies. 

He was a great teacher, 

he taught us to use everything that comes our way 

to go to a higher level 

and real suffering is rare 

and something to make super efforts with if we can.

Sacred heart...

 

Vjekoslav Nemesh

Sacred heart

Dear sacred heart, 

reclaim my soul.

Expand my wings,

and infuse me with holiness.

Help me project God's grace.

Release me from my shadows.

I surrender to you with deep desire and longing.

I invite the spirit of love.

I invite the emergence of myself.

~Fayina Cohen

What I Personally Experienced ...

 

John Delville

What I personally experienced 

is that day after day the machine becomes lighter 

and it can be more in harmony 

with the light of my soul. 

I work to keep the machine in H24 

and then in some way 

the wolf and the lamb can be friends.

I just understood better lately 

about Mervyn and the importance 

for his being fed by students. 

I can get hydrogens from conscious beings and yet, 

the energy of the Academy 

is so incredibly important.

As I Understand It...

 

As I understand it, 

if we can bring our present highest consciousness 

to a memory of the past, 

we can resolve something 

which we were unable to earlier on, 

sort of "cure" the past. 

This has something to do with our future possibility 

of having a "conscious death," 

of the possibility of bringing memory into a future life, 

or into the mysterious realms 

In between lives.
