He Who Works...

 

Frida Kahlo

“He who works with his hands is a laborer.

He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.

He who works with his hands 

and his head and his heart is an artist.” 

~ Saint Francis of Assisi

That Beautiful Flow of Presence...

 

 Leon Devenice

That beautiful flow of presence,

 it seems much more within reach now, 

after 20 years. 

Not so far away, 

instead much more predictably accessible.

 And yet, 

I am seeing much more strongly 

the deeper obstacles to going higher, 

and the necessity to bring focus to them, 

with persistent compassion. 

This, when I can do it with self-remembering, 

has recently been yielding surprising results. 

I am beginning to see more clearly 

and start to “separate” 

from what truly holds me back. 

In moments, 

I am beginning to experience 

an unusual freedom as a result.

If Observant...

 

Barbara Labutis

If observant and present to them, 

Life is a living verification 

of all the beauty and hydrogens, 

as well as the mechanics that keep one asleep.

Like The Gentle Whispers...

 

AI

Like the gentle whispers of the wind guiding candles, 

your inner voice has the power 

to take you where your heart longs to go.

Stop chasing external currents; 

trust the divine compass within you, 

for it knows the way.

This Inner Balance...

 

Wardinghg

This inner balance that we seek continuously

 is this balance of the moon and the sun, 

the higher and the lower. 

It's what do we give to Caesar 

and what do we give to God. 

And that is constantly evolving as we know ourselves. 

The machine wants to do a 180 

when it gets involved in the work. 

So much easier to have a formatory understanding 

and be done with it. 

But we know that it's not like this. 

The path to the sun is 90 degrees, 

a side path.

 So, we hold both higher and lower worlds and laws in balance.

The Transformation...

 

Edward Burne-Jones

The transformation 

that we are achieving in the school 

is perhaps one word - love. 

And we are now so far beyond the Fourth Way, 

that we are higher than the King, 

higher than the sex centre. 

We are being fed from World’s 6 and 12. 

This is the fastest way to evolve 

and it was Mervyn’s wish 

that the school develop in this way. 

Awakening is not for the intellectual privileged few, 

it is for anyone who has a soul.

Never Give Up Prayer...

Vincent Van Gogh

Never give up prayer,

and should you find dryness and difficulty,

persevere in it for this very reason.

God often desires to see what love your soul has,

and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction.

~St. John of the Cross
