			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">&nbsp;</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 will You do when you can not put gas into your car?</p>
<p>What will You do when you can not buy your food at the supermarket?</p>
<p>What will you do if you can not find any water clean enough to drink?</p>
<p>What will you do when the lights go out?</p>
<p>What will you do if your software fails?</p>
<p>What will you do if all that you know suddenly falls apart?</p>
<p>What will you do?</p>
<p>What will you do when the rain fall burns your skin?</p>
<p>What will you do when the rain stops falling?</p>
<p>What will you do when the rain pours down day and night ?</p>
<p>What will you do when the last glacier evaporates?</p>
<p>What will you do when all the knowhow of all that you take for granted is meaningless and cannot save you?</p>
<p>What will you do?</p>
<p>Stand in the light of your own being and try not to be afraid, that is what you can do</p>
<p>When the Zoo gets raided for the meat in the cages what will you do?</p>
<p>When everyone around you is in despair what will you do?</p>
<p>Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid, that&#8217;s what you can do ..</p>
<p>Start now and learn how to know what to do,</p>
<p>Stand in the light of your being and try not to be afraid</p>
<p>Trust the cycle of spiritual unfoldment in the world</p>
<p>This is the sad time of the World versus the Earth, when  there needs to be no competition</p>
<p>When the Earth asks you, and that day will come, what did you do? What will your answer be?</p>
<p>The World has no answer and no question. That is why many do not know what to do.</p>
<p>There are two species of humanity, one dwells within The World</p>
<p>The other dwells with the Earth..the choice is , what will you do?</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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you slow down you can acheive more.</p>
<p>When you slow down you start to know a little more about who you can be, who you were and who you are.</p>
<p>When you slow down anger has nowhere to hide.</p>
<p>When you slow down you discover love.</p>
<p>When you slow down all the rush and clamour of the world evaporates, and you know why you are here.</p>
<p>When you slow down to feel yourself breathing and you feel the Life living through you.</p>
<p>When you slow down everything is possible and fear starts to look elsewhere to play its tricks upon you.</p>
<p>When you slow down you find it easier to live with yourself.</p>
