I Remember...

Vincent Van Gogh

 I remember a long time ago

going to visit a student

who was experiencing real suffering with Mervyn. 

It was quite a long journey for him 

and he explained 

that he was going to help this student 'stay on the cross' 

by taking his presence to the situation. 

It was such a beautiful and quiet act 

of external considering and work of a teacher with a student.

Sometimes our work 

is to help another student 

stay present 

to their real suffering 

and this can sometimes 

throw up a lot of inner considering I's on our part.

After Leaving...

After leaving L.A. in 2011, 

my play brought me back to NYC 

under the roof of my mom for about 1.5 years, 

then another 9 months 

after my first stint in PV fall 2012 to spring 2013. 

For the machine it was torture. 

Yet behind it was an acceptance, 

a steadfastness rooted in valuation for the work. 

A knowledge that the situation was payment. 

The accumulated energy of right understanding 

feels a lot like the building of gravity. 

The more we handle ourselves as students rightly, 

the more energy is accumulated, 

and the more and increasingly difficult situations are attracted.

I Am Remembering...

I am Remembering Ouspensky 

in one of his last lectures 

asking the audience what do you want?

Our desires lead our play 

and can possibly open us up to new understandings.

I hear Jean and John Grepe saying,

 “What do you want?” 

Or “what is your aim?”

We are body soul and spirit. 

To live in all three worlds is not to deny any.

But I Say To You...

But I say to you, 

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 

so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; 

for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, 

and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

~Jesus Christ

In The End...

In the end, the I’s, the negative emotions, 

they are all gifts chasing one to the edge of existence. 

That edge is the point of no return

and is where the worlds all meet, 

and the obstinate nature may transform

and make a journey with the soul into understandings. 

Each one of our hearts is transcribing this journey 

and untying the knots of chaos 

into an intricate and beautiful Celtic Knot

where it feels and it combines all of us, 

even the most mundane and trivial parts that I can really hate.

Yes, even they are miracles.
