There is a Promise

that is hidden

in all things

it waits to

be discovered

offering words

of love

and hope

of illumination

and shows

you

the continuity

of all things..

that there is

one eternal season

and that the stages

of humanity

are the spring,

summer,

autumn and winter

the day and night

the first kiss of life

the first kiss of death

all contained in

the query, question

and surprise that makes you wonder

what the promise itself may be..

we are all like incense on the wind

we live as both fragrance, ash

fire, dust, intent ,

and

for a time we burn

and are gone

there is a promise

it waits in the hearts

of everyone

a true romance

of a soul’s meander through

the psyche

and the pyche’s leap

to consciousness

we should take the time

to bow to the humble

and the small

for in such things and people

the promise speaks

the most

if you search for god

or happiness

wealth or a brand new car

a golden lover or bright new dream

pause and stop

to know that

there is a promise

dwelling in between

the rush and rapture

of what you call your life

There is a promise

it waits for you

every day and impression

each passing year,

in tears and laughter

the promise waits

a quiet voice, it speaks

waiting for you to hear

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

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

The moment comes fleeting,

illusory and charmed

like a bright star full of inspiration

empowered by the

flash of intuition

that leads us

past the facade of the world,

moments are illusory

there is no now,

formed by the gaps of the brain

we are children of the past

but by seeing the connections

we can jump into the gaps

between moments

and discover

the eternal

Living in the moment is a mental rat trap

stop ..

go beyond moments,

in the nanosecond that our brain pauses

between processing billions of  types of information

let your self dive

beyond

the brain made world

to

the place of consciousness

pause and be still

and there

the

gaps will

open,

vast ,

doorways

to the

underlying

reality

People often wonder… what is Karma?

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.

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.

People often wonder …what  is Rebirth, thinking it the same as Reincarnation.

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.

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.

People often wonder… what Reincarnation is…

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.

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.

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.

Power is often confused with force, and force is regarded as strength, and in many worldly situations that is true and appropriate when needed.

However, true power in all its forms stems from the relationship a person has with their inner power, and the greatest power is the knowing of when to act, when to not, to be aware of the time of things, for all things have their own time.

The greatest power comes from living in accord with your authentic emotional and spiritual state which can not be defined by anyone other than you and the eternal Self that takes on the material identity that you regard as your personality, day by day. Power comes not from things but from being.

When power is applied it not longer becomes power but another quality of action and intent.

You are potentially more powerful than any man made force or natural cycle or cosmic event or body, you are the summation of a thousand million universes, countless aeons of conscious journeying through many life forms, you are the great navigator and commander of the most profound power of all..the continuity of Consciousness which is the energy that all power is derived from.

Power takes on a conscious form when applied that is why as your inner self grows and matures it becomes powerful, not in ego or desire but in accordance with the cycle of things, there are many on this planet who have power but are not mature, their power comes from the intent of despair and ego, fear and the desire for safety from their inner knowledge that their power will fade thus bringing the fear of mortality.

This relationship to power comes from the fear of change and the misunderstanding of who we are as human beings in the natural and universal world.

We are immensely powerful, we are learning to be immensely responsible, but we can come to that by awakening the immense compassion that lies within us. If one person in the millions on this planet was truly compassionate but for a moment, all us would change our relationship to power and no one would seek it for artificial means.

The power that all people, all beings respond to and understand wordlessly is the frequency of love , in this material world it is the greatest and most enduring of all forms of power. Is is the one we as individuals and as a species run from but it is the hidden impulse in our evolution.

Are you happy?

Can you ask yourself and find an answer?

There is no quick answer, only a slow one that evolves as you experience your evolution through the challenges of life .

Happiness comes and goes, but its sweetness is a reminder, that beneath the delights of happiness exists a greater joy and contentment that shows us all, the ‘being’ , within the human..

Happiness improves our health and conscious, but the media has hijacked it, turning it into something ‘aspirational’ like a fashion item or latest gizmo, happiness is for us to see beyond ourselves and to be thankful for the life we can make from the life we have.

Happiness is also a choice, both a belief, as an act of faith and a psychological state that shifts our consciousness.

How do we find happiness?

We need to look within for that is where its foundation lies,

and without, not in things, but in our relationships to people,

the natural world and the place we stand in,

as we express who we think we are.

Happiness is trust, a trust in the goodness of life, people and ones Self.

If you can not trust in these, then happiness takes time to emerge into your daily activities and thinking.

Happiness is waiting for you to claim it as your own.

Do you know what your senses are for, other than what you do with them?

Your five ordinary senses can enable you to go beyond what is commonly regarded to be ordinary.

All and each of your senses have extra dimensions contained within them and they can connect you to sensory aspects of your conciousness that lead you to profound transformation.

Each sense is a path to awareness, not through indulging in sensory experience but by understanding the lessons that the senses offer you.

Your sensibility and awareness come from how your senses process the deeper aspects of the life force that is created with the natural forces of the planet.

Each sense is an offering and a path way, if you stop to connect with their deepest meanings by going beyond their normally prescribed functions, then you will discover all that you need from life is found within you, that you are the path, the teaching, the temple and deity in which you search for.

Each sense is a path to the utmost within you.
