At The Service of The Highest

The Merciful Knight - Edward Burne-Jones 1863

The nerves with their muscles serve

the tendons even as soldiers serve

their leaders, and the tendons serve the

common sense as the leaders their captain,

and this common sense serves the soul as

the captain serves his lord.

Leonardo Da Vinci -

Excerpt from his Notebooks

Hope And Faith...

Hope and faith are our greatest weapons. 

As long as we have them, 

everything is possible.

With hope and faith, 

we demand to be on another level - 

and it will never be denied us.

I Begin...

 

The Magical Moon

I begin to see more that every day 

is broken up into "Little Acts, or Scenes" 

and if something is difficult, 

I could say to myself 

"I Do this for God”, 

instead of giving into complaining, let’s say, 

and something magical 

always seems to occur in that attitude!

Went To A 1920's Huge Party...

 

Christina Ostrander-Larocque

Went to a 1920s huge party. 

Hundreds of people. 

All dressed up in a magnificent structure 

with columns and music and costumes. 

Had such an odd experience 

as if everyone was in a play 

getting ready for something. 

All these different colors, different ages, 

different faces all in one play.

Something in me just walked around 

and looked into people’s eyes, 

smiling as if they were so so dear to me. 

I fixed someone’s hair 

and she almost bit off my finger 

but then melted:) 

Then I touched an older man’s shoulder 

because he seemed so so nervous 

with his sex center and he melted. 

Many connections. 

And the heart just melted 

one after another after another. 

What is that? 

We are all one, 

we are all part of a play. 

We are all so so beautiful.

There Are Many...

There are many other kinds of suffering

through which you will pass 

before you attain your aim.

Try to understand that suffering 

is the only active principle in us 

which can be converted into higher feeling -

which is also higher 

thought and higher understanding.

Do not be afraid 

of thinking of your emotions 

and finding contradictions in them,

even if it hurts you.

Only by comparing different emotions 

referring to the same subject 

can you find buffers in yourself 

and eventually destroy them 

if you work hard enough 

and are not afraid

of hurting yourself.

Remember that this will lead you 

to the awakening of conscience, 

which is the simultaneous feeling 

of all contradictory emotions; 

and remember that the awakening of conscience 

is a necessary step 

for transferring yourself 

to the higher level of consciousness.

~P.D. Ouspensky - Conscience The Search for Truth
