The Idea Of Essence

 

Edgar Degas

The idea of essence is an important one, 

because if we are fortunate, 

we may come across 

various aspects of our essence early on in our work. 

If this happens, 

it is important to nurture these aspects, 

as this will indeed quicken our evolution 

and aid in the shedding of false personality. 

This is why photographs are important, 

for they not only show us when we are in false personality, 

being negative and so-on, 

but they can also help show us 

when we are in essence. 

Essence is useful to the Gods, 

the school and to our well-being. 

It is much easier to be less negative 

if we are enjoying life.

Everything Good...

 

William-Adolphe Bouguereau

"Everything good or true 

that the angels inspire in us is God's,

so God is constantly talking to us. 

He talks very differently, though, 

to one person than to another."

~Emanuel Swedenborg, Secrets of Heaven 1

It Is Not Enough...

 

Alice Neel

It is not enough to study, 

or to find a "way". 

We must make that higher effort to "be at home" 

or be present, 

in order to actually have the teacher 

or teachings manifest in ourselves. 

A poignant reminder to be ready 

to be called upon to embody spirit, 

to be available to be of use to the Gods.

A Great Musician...

 

Ludwig van Beethoven

A great musician I knew once said 

that if you cannot comprehend the depths, 

you cannot comprehend the heights. 

And without these two, 

you cannot be a great musician.

So Grow Where We Are Planted ...

Danielle Clough

 

So grow where we are planted 

and Love what is here and now 

with us in this moment are wonderful aspirations. 

I take meetings 

as a place to be purely present without interruption, 

a place to practice being present 

and remember you all that are with me - 

our little caravan to the stars. 

Each of us in the universe in our present 'now'.

Inner Peace

 

Inner peace can be reached 

only when we practice forgiveness.

Forgiveness is letting go of the past, 

and is therefore the means

for correcting our misperceptions.
