William Stott

I have recently verified that aim is like a northern star

it gives me focus,

meaning and holds the light

in stormy seas and dark nights..

Aim with desire creates such a strong triad,

helps us jump intervals,

heal frictions,

stay in love and welcome life at another level..

The aim in relationships

will set the course of that relationship,

an aim that is powerful and locked in

can help the soul experience more expression of itself

through the machine and awakenings of the heart.

The soul yearns for conscious aim,

the machine is in constant need of it.

The Work...

The Work is something living in our hearts and minds. 

Follow the path, 

see what changes take place within you, 

and what light begins to dawn in you.

When You Make...

                                                                                           

           

 

When you make the two One,

The inner as the outer

And the outer as the inner

And the above as the below

So that you will make the Male and Female as a single One

In order that the Male is not made Male

And the Female is not made Female

When you make eyes into an eye

And a hand into a hand

And a foot into a foot

And even an image into an image

Then you shall enter the Kingdom.

~Passage from The Gospel of Thomas

I Was Thinking...

Marc Chagall

I was thinking about the difference 

between conscious acts 

and doing what is merely mechanical, 

which can take so many myriad forms 

in any given moment. 

Setting aside mechanical goodness, 

and looking for openings 

for conscious acts of kindness and genuine love

 is a perfect example. 

I like that rather than focusing directly on raising our level of being, 

we go ahead instead and act "as if" 

we were already on a higher plane 

and with each act we draw nearer 

to becoming a permanent actor in this cosmic play.

In One Way...

 

Edward Burne-Jones

In one way in our work 

we deconstruct to reconstruct 

to make new beginnings. 

We make new beginnings many times 

sometimes one layer of the onion comes away 

and sometimes many all at one time 

which leaves us feeling vulnerable and raw 

and then sometimes we retire to cocoon a little 

while we get used to the new again. 

Beginnings are important 

because we look again fresh and strong 

at the world with different perceptions.
