Christopher Hansard:[ Presence in all things]
no matter
where you are
no matter where you think you are
no matter what you believe yourself to believe
in matter
in thought
which is matter
there is
presence
in
all things
the ever knowing
You

Christopher Hansard:[ a space in time]
each of us
is
a space in time
a place in space
and a spark of mind
each of us is a space in time
a place in space
a noetic motion
in
a wave of vibration
each of a space in time, a place in space
a spark of mind

Christopher Hansard:[ listening to...]
what are you listening to?
do you know?
do you care?
is it out of habit or a quiet despair?
what are you listening to?
to voices in the background, to thoughts inside your head
to the clanging of memories or the unwritten future?
what are you listening to?
underneath and within all of this
there is another listening going on
a listening to the inner way
the beauty, the song
to the dreaming that unmakes dreams
and makes the world
to the sacred, the profane
the great and the mundane
what are you listening to?
‘What’s that?’ you say..’what should I listen to?’
listen to the listener within
and you will
be
listened too

Christopher Hansard:[Kindness]
The kindness that you seek in others
can be found within yourself
the kindness that you are afraid of receiving
will wait until you are ready to receive it
waiting close by like a fathful friend
there is kindness everywhere
if only you stop to see
kindness is the source of community
and of healing and understanding
if you seek wisdom, knowledge, spirituuality
first develop kindness
and you will find all other things accrue naturally
kindness needs nothing but itself
and is everywhere waiting to shared

Christopher Hansard:[The Singer that Lives Within the Song]
When you look up into the starlight
you can hear the choirs of ancient voices
that once sung
of praise and beauty
to the simplicity of all things
and then as their time
was spent
so their songs became
part of the old starlight
the fabric of the energy of space
and as their voices touched
a living planet
there,
they made
the start of Life
an impulse to voice
and sound
and creation became the
result
a function of the duality
in the endless riddles
of time
consciousness
and becoming
you can hear every voice
singing
a long and sonorous song
on the arc of light
and space
in the quantity of degrees
the equinox of beauty
and eternity
fit together
a pulse, a wave,
a sudden flicker
a quake, a drum beat
of love,
love,
the eternal fragrance
of becoming, being,
beginnings and endings
the singer that lives within the song

Christopher Hansard:[When the Sunlight Falls]
When the sunlight falls upon the waves
carefree and glancing as they lap around the
last remains of a sky scraping tower
the young child from the little boat looks up with wondering eyes
‘who made these things?’ his mother catches his thoughts..
‘men who were like gods, men who fell to the earth and could not get up again’
the child wonders,sad thoughts
trawling a memory of what was once
another world, fingers trailing in water
as fish swirl around the little boat
as by thought it moves silently
across the great saltwater lake
deep in the refracted depths
white whales harvest the plankton
while a serrated moon
hangs tilted in the blue starred night
years pass the child now a man
goes past in a little boat
and his daughter wonders the very same as he once did
a hundred years go past
people pass by they do not see the ruins
they do not know what they are
the ruins
they have slipped
from memory and so they do not exist

Christopher Hansard:[Anger]
The world is full of it…
of anger,
anger is the rage and shame of having no power
anger too can take you to a place of change when it is truly right to be angry
but anger though is impulse, it is not a destination for each of us needs to
go beyond it, to leave its power behind and embrace the power of Love
anger seeks its own demise, its own transformation but can lose
its way to healing
look to the anger within you, see how it moulds your life
and how the anger of others influences your state of being ,
anger can be glamourous, even kind, anger can be generous and also blind
anger seeks its own destruction and understanding
it is the light of extreme dissatisfaction and the voice of fear

Christopher Hansard:[Love is Within Us]
ONE:
Wisdom has a sadness of its own, pensive like a cello playing in a soft snow fall
Compassion holds a knowingness that looks into all things with an unblinking eye
Anger seeks to include everyone in its rage of ignorance and self-defeat,
Greed seeks solace in having all it can to bury the oncoming fear
Lust craves a chance at halting mortality and believes in the tempoary as real
Illumination lights only what needs to be illuminated for the awakening of the Self happens in the dark
Loss and learning go together, and love and liberation are good friends.
TWO:
Love was within us before we came and went, love was in the first cosmic form
and fell in the first rainfall, love was within us and will be when we forget that we once dwelt
upon the Earth, love was within the first rising spark of Wisdom and the clear sight of Compassion
and Love took the journey willingly into the dark matter and confusion of the temporal world in order
to evolve back to its own recognition again.
THREE:
The human race is a pathway in which Love plies its course,
a river that flows through time and space
creating diversity and matter, consciousness and place,
perception and awakening and the nature of living light
Love has made the chance for Life
when it embraced itself openly with Light,
for Love and Life make Light and from that all things are:
for in Light, Consciousness takes form
shrouding Love’s constant breath
and in that come the two eternal seasons, mortal life and mortal death
two great teachings of Love and Light
by which the Cosmos and Consciousness descend and create form

Christopher Hansard:[Imagination and the Impulse of Change]
What is your imagination?
Some think its the run of fantasy,
or a vague emotional experience of little consequence.
Imagination is the fusing of intent and vision that awakens the impulse
behind the function of change.
This creates change in ourselves, the world at large
and in the human experience globally.
Imagination is the building block of awakening, it shows us possibilities and probabilities, it inspires us on how to think and how to be .
Imagination gives us courage and urges us to love.
Imagination is the great risk taker
because it take you beyond all of your previous limitations.
If there was one answer containing wisdom that any wise person
or teacher could give to a person seeking truth
and asking, ‘what is the purpose of life?’ …
It would be, ‘Imagine and it will be…’
The world in which we all live is built upon Imagination.
Think deeply and you will find it to be so.
This realisation makes many afraid of Imagination
because then they are forced to step outside of the box in which their lives are kept.
Step out of your box, fold it up, recycle it and become an Imagineer,
a term I use to describe a person who applies Imagination to change the
quality of their life and the world around them.
It is a self -taught experience, trust the imagination within to guide you.
