Don’t Only Practice Your Art...

“Don’t only practice your art, 

but force your way into its secrets, 

for it and knowledge 

can raise men to the divine.” 

~Ludwig van Beethoven

If The Aim Is To Serve...

Gabriele Munter

If the aim is to serve ‘that which is higher’ 

and by being good shepherds 

be in service to others on a more conscious level, 

we can realize the I’s ever changing are not real 

and ‘do our duty’ so as to say. 

I remember being with Mervyn 

and he had set up a schedule 

of lots of third forces to get him places, 

for instance, driving from Queretaro to Mexico City for meetings, 

staying all day and driving back in the evening. 

We would look at each other 

and with laughter say ‘lets do it anyway!’ 

Then jump into his Ford Explorer 

and on the road again to Mexico City. 

Golden beautiful memories of conscious actions 

overcoming the machine with him. 

As John M was writing 

it takes a little courage really to write from our inner self 

because we expose our mechanics through writing, 

our features and so on. 

The instinctive wishes to remain hidden 

and our false personality has an image of itself 

that it wishes to maintain, 

but 'give the soul a pen 

and it will write' said Mervyn to me, 

and once having writ it moves on. 

So courage friends! 

Leave inner considering behind and write to us!

It Takes Courage...

It takes courage to trust the real "I's" 
and even more so to express them. 
Because we come up against 
our own buffers and limitations, 
and inner considering, as well as those of the people around us, 
even within our School. 
But this is the task and what was cultivated by Mervyn 
and the many Conscious Beings both on and not on our list. 
I pray for that courage for all of us.

So Much Inspiration...

So much inspiration when we ask for it, 

with intention and true feeling. 

How could the seed not feel the warmth of the Sun 

even before it knows of its brilliant brightness? 

This is how sensitive we must become. 

Not every thought (like every sperm) 

will become a reality. 

I Love this school 

as it gives such an opportunity to explore 

through art and poetry.

To find meaning and real substance 

in the things of this world.

He Who Works...

Kehinde Wiley

“He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.” 
~ Saint Francis of Assisi
