<p align="center"> 1</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em>Take  A Walk Across the Land</em> </strong></p>
<p align="center">Take a walk across the land,</p>
<p align="center">or down the street, extend your hands,</p>
<p align="center">feel the human pulse in all that is there</p>
<p align="center">step back do you feel fear?</p>
<p align="center">Take a walk across your life, or down the memories that make</p>
<p align="center"> the landscapes in your mind, through the crowded market place of emotions</p>
<p align="center">and through the long rememberings of the longing heart,</p>
<p align="center">extend you hands</p>
<p align="center"> ..feel the human pulse in all that is there&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"> do you feel love?</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">2</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em>The Sound of a Single Note<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p align="center">Each of us remains too frightened in our daily lives,</p>
<p align="center">I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart,</p>
<p align="center">the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</p>
<p align="center">there are harmonic rhapsodies in the faces of love and fear,</p>
<p align="center">call to them,</p>
<p align="center">like the Pied Piper of Hamlyn</p>
<p align="center"> or the Snake Charmer of Lucknapoor ,</p>
<p align="center">they will come scuttling to the tune,</p>
<p align="center">fear comes like a horde of rats</p>
<p align="center"> because fear is stronger in a crowd and more curious,</p>
<p align="center">love will come willingly for love is willing</p>
<p align="center">and not because the piper calls but that</p>
<p align="center"> love knows that piper in order to heard needs to be followed</p>
<p align="center">until the day that the piper casts the pipe away</p>
<p align="center">Love and fear harmonic interplay</p>
<p align="center">you can travel world on a single note</p>
<p align="center">from future to the past and</p>
<p align="center">the illusion of now</p>
<p align="center">extend your hands and feel the human pulse</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">3</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em>The Finder is Not the Knower </em></strong></p>
<p align="center">we are born to meander through the human pulse</p>
<p align="center">in search of meaning and the celebration of our Self</p>
<p align="center">If you seek to look for God or the answers to your life</p>
<p align="center">stop and feel the human pulse</p>
<p align="center">for all the names of God are found</p>
<p align="center">in the human  world in the beating heart and it essence</p>
<p align="center">if you seek to be comforted, the comfort that is</p>
<p align="center"> within is to be reflected in the creation of friendship</p>
<p align="center">if you seek for answers to your life then stop to know</p>
<p align="center">the way of how you love and why you do</p>
<p align="center"> then give it up and you</p>
<p align="center">will find the truth</p>
<p align="center">whatever you may search for will be found</p>
<p align="center">but on finding it then you must understand</p>
<p align="center">understanding is the discoverer and explorer too</p>
<p align="center">been the finder is not the knower</p>
<p align="center">You may find God, You may find Meaning</p>
<p align="center">You may find Love, You may find fame</p>
<p align="center">Finding is not the Knowing</p>
<p align="center">to know we must give up what we have found</p>
<p align="center">to understand we must give up meaning</p>
<p align="center">to have meaning we must give up all our prejudice</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">4</p>
<p align="center"><em><strong>Unknown </strong></em></p>
<p align="center">In the world and in our heart there is the</p>
<p align="center">divine, unknown, we seek to find  a way to love</p>
<p align="center">which will lead to us been known.</p>
<p align="center">but all things return to the unknown</p>
<p align="center">and the emergent</p>
<p align="center">when you feel alone and lonely</p>
<p align="center">separate and unknown</p>
<p align="center">pause and offer up these states of being</p>
<p align="center">as imperfect prayers to the unknown</p>
<p align="center">and you will find that the</p>
<p align="center">Cosmos and its Descent</p>
<p align="center">will be falling within and up</p>
<p align="center">bathing you in the Unknown</p>
<p align="center">We are the Unknown</p>
<p align="center">the lonely and the content</p>
<p align="center">we are the journey and the last coin spent</p>
<p align="center">we are the meaning and dreaming</p>
<p align="center">and the reflections through human experience</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center"> 5</p>
<p align="center"><strong><em> What We Have Now is Also This</em></strong></p>
<p align="center">All is offering and acceptance</p>
<p align="center">seeking its own delight</p>
<p align="center">all our bitterness is a call for this</p>
<p align="center">all our love and suffering too</p>
<p align="center">what we have now is also this</p>
<p align="center">what we seek is in the seeking</p>
<p align="center">we fall in love with ourselves</p>
<p align="center">this is what we seek</p>
<p align="center">what we have now in the essence of our being</p>
<p align="center">is what we had in the first impulse of our coming into being</p>
<p align="center">we are reflections through human experience</p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center"> 6</p>
<p align="center"><em><strong>With a Single Constant Breath Make Ourselves Again<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p align="center">Give up the patterns of your thoughts</p>
<p align="center">the past, wherefores and whys</p>
<p align="center">go beyond comparisons</p>
<p align="center">beyond truth and lies</p>
<p align="center">through the furnace of awakening</p>
<p align="center">through the glamour of illusion</p>
<p align="center">go beyond to</p>
<p align="center">the one unspoken word</p>
<p align="center">there is no this or that</p>
<p align="center">there is no us or them</p>
<p align="center">there is no good or bad</p>
<p align="center">for the Cosmos and its Descent</p>
<p align="center">only moves to find its way</p>
<p align="center">a sunset and sunrise</p>
<p align="center">a moonset and moonrise</p>
<p align="center">fleeting light on fleeting lives</p>
<p align="center">starlight, lovelight, carlights</p>
<p align="center">there is</p>
<p align="center">Awake and be kind to your heart</p>
<p align="center">look out around you</p>
<p align="center">to the mind field, that pattern which you call your life</p>
<p align="center">there the mind field is a vast skein of light</p>
<p align="center">harmonic interludes that create day, birth, night, death</p>
<p align="center">and eternity</p>
<p align="center"><em>I have flown the world on the sound of a single note from my heart, </em></p>
<p align="center"><em>the pure sound of sitar and guitar on the first morning light</em></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center">when the world is at last, swept away ,we will gather up the dust</p>
<p align="center">and with a single constant breath</p>
<p align="center">make our selves again in the image of our being</p>
<p align="center">our creation will be</p>
<p align="center">reflections through human and divine experience</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever thought to yourself or heard someone say,</p>
<p>&#8221; I thought I dealt with this!</p>
<p>I thought it was over and done with!</p>
<p>why did it take so long to deal with it..why Now?</p>
<p>I have wasted all the years, why couldn&#8217;t I have dealt with this years ago?&#8217;</p>
<p>Because change takes time, like true love, it takes the understanding of time</p>
<p>and the acceptance that change only comes when you are ready..</p>
<p>and often we may think we are ready, but deep within we are not</p>
<p>Change takes time, and time can only be a helper if you see time as agent of change</p>
<p>Time goes in cycles , not in a straight line..</p>
<p>Change goes in cycles, not in a straight line..</p>
<p>There are no straight lines within the growing psyche,</p>
<p>in the inner expression of spiritual change there always is to be found a cycle</p>
<p>of change and time, like two different coloured flowers on one slender plant</p>
<p>Time needs change to give meaning to humanity</p>
<p>and Change needs Time to grow and mature</p>
<p>We are all children of time and change</p>
<p>They are two of  twelve great mysteries that give humanity the impulse of evolution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People often wonder&#8230; what is Karma?</p>
<p>Karma is any intentional process, a thought, action, word or gesture or combination of all that is done with intent and focus. This the primary impulse of Karma. It does not matter whether the intent is positive or negative.  Because such activity creates many patterns that replicate themselves beyond measurement, we all are linked in a karmic fish net, that trawls the bottom of our unconscious karmic ocean.</p>
<p>If we wish to change patterns in our life, we need to understand what prompts our thoughts, actions, words and gestures, and what are the drives behind our intentions and focus. We can change karmic patterns by changing the nature of our intentions to the world, our inner world, outer world and to all people and other living creatures.</p>
<p>People often wonder &#8230;what  is Rebirth, thinking it the same as Reincarnation.</p>
<p>Rebirth is the process of suddenly been born as soon as you are dead without any understanding or control over the emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects of dying. If you lived a confused life and died with confusion, fear or any other overwhelming emotion that caused you to feel trapped,then it can be that you will be born immediately, as there are endless wombs waiting to be filled with life.</p>
<p>Rebirth is sudden and without understanding, it is a rush an endless flow and pattern. But you can rise out of that pattern by learning how to become conscious and more aware of your inner state so it does not sabotage your mental state as you die. This leads us to Reincarnation.</p>
<p>People often wonder&#8230; what Reincarnation is&#8230;</p>
<p>Reincarnation is the conscious application of mental , emotional and spiritual insight to yourself as you die, thus clearing away all the inner fears and projections that emanate around you as you die. You create a choice within you as to how you shall be, you enter into a dimension of choices. And when you know it is right, you have an element of choice over how, when and to whom you will be born.</p>
<p>In the death process if you enter into the state of clarity, you can redeem yourself, heal all your regrets, learn as to the whys and hows of your karmic legacy and inheritance and transform yourself.</p>
<p>Death is the great equalizer but in that you have choice and intention and focus.   Whatever you have done, you can heal in the process of death, and stay in the dimensions between the former life and the possibility of a new one, to enhance your inner evolution and well being.</p>
