Every Time You Are Tempted...

 

Evelyn De Morgan

"Every time you are tempted to react

in the same old way, 

ask if you want to be a prisoner of time

or a pioneer of the future."

~Deepak Chopra

I Like The Story...

 

I liked the story when I was a child: 

The Prince and the Pauper. 

This story resonated. 

The two switched places - 

the pauper and prince 

looked alike and switched places. 

Each enjoying the benefits that the other had, 

the 'luxury' to live under those types of laws. 

This story has a power to educate us 

on the different states we can move between - 

move between worlds whenever we want.

I Was Thinking...

 

 I was thinking of how much effort is made 

to get to the I’s quiet center 

so that I can begin the alchemical process. 

Or perhaps part of this process 

is getting to this state. 

But then I see how quickly I leave this state. 

If I could stay longer or live in self- remembering, 

think of all the incredible transformations 

that could happen. 

Alchemy I think has it's own momentum. 

If we could live in self- remembering - 

truly everything would change.

Let's Say The Name...

 

Untitled XXV

Let's say the name of Allah all the time. 

Let's see what my Lord does. 

Let's travel the Way always.

Let's see what my Lord does.

Just when you least expect it, 

suddenly the veil is lifted. 

The remedy arrives in time. 

Let's see what my Lord does.

What did Yunus do? 

What did he do? 

He found a straight Path, 

held the hand of a guide. 

Let's see what my Lord does.

~Yunus Emre

Sometimes I Feel...

 

Gustav Klimt

Sometimes I feel the heaviness of the “I’s”. 

They can hang in a space, 

like heavy bubbles around our heads 

lurking in the atmosphere in a disharmonic way. 

In this work 

we really do become sensitive 

to the overload of “I’’s. 

In presence the atmosphere clears 

and somewhat as it is in paintings - 

the heavily dissonance of thoughts 

can be replaced by the Divinity of Gold paint. 

In meetings and in being intentional around others, 

I really do feel this, 

a sense of one’s atmosphere refining, 

lifting becoming more golden 

and that is a beautiful realisation 

and creates a nature of divinity 

no matter where I happen to be. 

Because it comes from the power of the soul 

desiring to truly BE the “Royal invisibility in the space”
