			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">The world is full of it&#8230;</p>
<p align="justify">of anger,</p>
<p align="justify">anger is the rage and shame of having no power</p>
<p align="justify">anger too can take you to a place of change when it is truly right to be angry</p>
<p align="justify">but anger though is impulse, it is not a destination for each of us needs to</p>
<p align="justify">go beyond it, to leave its power behind and embrace the power of Love</p>
<p align="justify">anger seeks its own demise, its own transformation but can lose</p>
<p align="justify">its way to healing</p>
<p align="justify">look to the anger within you, see how it moulds your life</p>
<p align="justify">and how the anger of others influences your state of being ,</p>
<p align="justify">anger can be glamourous, even kind, anger can be generous and also blind</p>
<p align="justify">anger seeks its own destruction and understanding</p>
<p align="justify">it is the light of extreme dissatisfaction and the voice of fear</p>

<p align="center"> ONE:</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify"> <font color="#000080">Wisdom has a sadness of its own, pensive like a cello playing in a soft snow fall</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Compassion holds a knowingness that looks into all things with an unblinking eye</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Anger seeks to include everyone in its rage of ignorance and self-defeat,</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Greed seeks solace in having all it can to bury the  oncoming fear</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Lust craves a chance at halting mortality and believes in the tempoary as real</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Illumination lights only what needs to be illuminated for the awakening of the Self happens in the dark</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000080">Loss and learning go together, and love and liberation are good friends.</font></p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">TWO:</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="right"><font color="#800000">Love was within us before we came and went, love was in the first cosmic form</font><br />
<font color="#800000">and fell in the first rainfall, love was within us and will be when we forget that we once dwelt</font><br />
<font color="#800000">upon the Earth, love was within the first rising spark of Wisdom and the clear sight of Compassion</font><br />
<font color="#800000">and Love took the journey willingly into the dark matter and confusion of the temporal world in order</font><br />
<font color="#800000">to evolve back to its own recognition again.</font></p>
<p align="center"> THREE:</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><font color="#000080">The human race is a pathway in which Love plies its course, </font><br />
<font color="#000080">a river that flows through time and space</font><br />
<font color="#000080">creating diversity and matter, consciousness and place, </font><br />
<font color="#000080">perception and awakening and the nature of living light</font><br />
<font color="#000080">Love has made the chance for Life </font><br />
<font color="#000080">when it embraced itself openly with Light,</font></p>
<p align="center">
<font color="#000080">for Love and Life make Light and from that all things are:</font></p>
<p align="center">
<font color="#000080">for in Light, Consciousness takes form </font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#000080">shrouding Love&#8217;s constant breath </font><br />
<font color="#000080">and in that come  the two eternal seasons, mortal life and mortal death </font><br />
<font color="#000080">two great teachings of  Love and Light </font><br />
<font color="#000080">by which the Cosmos and Consciousness descend and create form</font><br />
<font color="#800000"> </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#800000"> </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is your imagination?</p>
<p>Some think its the run of fantasy,</p>
<p>or a vague emotional experience of little consequence.</p>
<p>Imagination is the fusing of intent and vision that awakens the impulse</p>
<p>behind the function of change.</p>
<p>This creates change in ourselves, the world at large</p>
<p>and in the human experience globally.</p>
<p>Imagination is the building block of awakening, it shows us possibilities and probabilities, it inspires us on how to think and how to be .</p>
<p>Imagination gives us courage and urges us to love.</p>
<p>Imagination is the great risk taker</p>
<p>because it take you beyond all of your previous limitations.</p>
<p>If there was one answer containing wisdom that any wise person</p>
<p>or teacher could give to a person seeking truth</p>
<p>and asking, &#8216;what is the purpose of life?&#8217; &#8230;</p>
<p>It would be, &#8216;Imagine and it will be&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>The world in which we all live is built upon Imagination.</p>
<p>Think deeply and you will find it to be so.</p>
<p>This realisation makes many afraid of Imagination</p>
<p>because then they are forced to step outside of the box in which their lives are kept.</p>
<p>Step out of your box, fold it up, recycle it and become  an Imagineer,</p>
<p>a term I use to describe a person who applies Imagination to change the</p>
<p>quality of their life and the world around them.</p>
<p>It is a self -taught experience, trust the imagination within to guide you.</p>
