Our Mission: The Gift of Presence

The Mirror of Venus - Sir Edward Burne-Jones

Our mission is to bring the gift of "Presence" 

to as many people as possible and to deliver 

as many as possible from the lower worlds 

to a place where they can help in this great work.

I would ask each of you to speak to people 

and try as much as you can to assist in the Birth 

and subsequent growth of the School.

Speak to people in whatever way your heart tells you to.

Love, 

Mervyn Brady

When I Feel More Balanced...

 

When I feel more balanced, 

I breathe as though through the centers 

and silently say  “I Am.” 

When I say “I,” 

I feel the three centers 

as though something stands up; 

and when I say “Am,” 

I also feel them, 

but as though something sits down. 

When I breathe in, I say “I” 

and represent to myself 

that the active elements of

the air are entering. 

When I breathe out, I say “Am” 

and feel them flow into and fill my body. 

I do not try 

to make anything more of this “I” and “Am,” 

simply say the words to myself. 

With each breath, 

I follow this order for filling: 

right arm, right leg, left leg, left arm, 

abdomen, chest, head 

and then the whole body.

At Death...

 

AI generated image

At death the lighted lamp

of your heart

Will be placed

in the wide center of the sky.

Will it, flickering, go out,

Or in one final act

of all-consuming being

Catching the corners

of the wind

Wake in the ocean of light

Filling a heart

now also without limits.

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Image by Alexander Fox - Planet_Fox from Pixabay

"In order to know the future

it is necessary first to know the present 

in all its details, as well as to know the past.

Today is what it is because

yesterday was what it was.

And if today is like yesterday, 

tomorrow will be like today. 

If you want tomorrow to be different, 

you must make today different."

G.I. Gurdjieff

I Love Spring And Fall...

 

I love Spring and Fall. 

The seasons that seem in-between that seem to be moving, 

perhaps across a threshold. 

Becoming, and Growing as displayed in Spring —

Accepting and Letting Go, 

as mirrored in the golden and red leaves 

that fall to earth (and us!) in Autumn. 

Gifts of nature which can reflect our own nature 

as we reflect upon them. 

These seasons seem to me the most active, 

the most promising.

I’m oh so glad to be back living in a part of the country 

where I can fully experience them once again. 

What gifts will they bring me this year?
