Christopher Hansard:[ the seeds of change]

The seeds of personal and social change are found in the roughest times, the most barren soil, as society becomes squeezed by cyclical financial collapse due to greed, laxity and short term thinking, it becomes out of step with the natural cycles of the planet-when this happens the man made structures of the world-whether they be ideas, organisations or structures collapse, in order that what is made by man finds balance with nature. If you seek the seeds of change look at your relationship with the natural world, psychologically, spiritually, humanly. See, discover what the seeds are.

Christopher Hansard:[ kindness]

if you want to change the world

be kind

kindness is the most radival act there is,

for it is an act of conscious choice

and selfless thought

kindness changes the world far more than a thousand revolutions

and brings humility and humanity into all our lives

Christopher Hansard:[ challenging times]

In challenging times

create the ability to be adaptable

consider seriously what is important in your life

what and who you need and how you can secure these to your mutual advantage

in challenging times when the money supply withers

and the value of it decreases, where debt is transacted freely until its too late

focus on building a supportive infrastructure than can allow you to eat, work and live

freely, to think freely and to make sure that you can keep it

but yet also know that in challenging times

by intelligent sharing, a greater wealth is created

amongst those like yourself

Christopher Hansard:[ inner world]

Your

inner

world

spins

slowly

on

the axis of

your attachments

each rotation

closes,

or opens a view

into your

Self

see how attachment

makes the mist

that your call

your life

good, bad,

inbetween

all rotate

on

attachment

Christopher Hansard:[ you and nature]

The natural world dwells deep with your emotional and psychological nature, within your body, intellect, instinctual awareness and all your habits, for every tree that is wantonly cut down in the wild so is a little part of us all. Diminish nature and its resources and so mankind is diminished. Nature is the underlying foundation of all our aspects of our well being, you and nature are the same experience.

Christopher Hansard:[ In Uncertain Times]

In uncertain times you need to know what is necesary for your emotional and spiritual growth so that you can build both your vitality and integrity, thereby empowering your self-discipline. As things change rapidly around you you need to look at the qualities of your emotional strength and resilience and improve those areas that are in need of growth. In times such as these, have money, wealth or secured resources is not enough, having mental clarity, emotional balance, good health and psychological resilience are those invaluable tools that will enable you to know true stability and enduring prosperity, for we think prosperity is linked to wealth and money, it has being made to be like this since the late 18th century, but this model is flimsy: true prosperity comes from knowing who you are and what you can do with what you have when everyone else has lost their balance, money or previous lifestyle  or is having less, for in the case of human growth, individually and socially, less is more, if you have the clarity to know and express it.

Christopher Hansard: [ The Prayer Cycle]

There dwells within your life and every life, the prayer cycle. It is that process of  consciousness that occupies everything we are, do and feel, hate, love and are bored with.

Even without us knowing it, the prayer cycle continues, the prayer cycle is wordless has no sound, does not praise any god or humankind, but actualises itself through the experiences that make us who we are and gives the gift of dissatisfaction and the desire for knowing. If you stop for a time, you can feel the prayer cycle going on within you and all living beings, some slower, some faster, some louder some so quiet as you think nothing is there, but the prayer cycle is everywhere and everything.

Christopher Hansard:[ the wave]

all the the elements

that make you

move in waves

short impulses

long undulating

spirals,waves

that heave and sign

and by their action

generate the stuff of matter

squeezing out the essence of gravity

spreading out the strands of light

that illuminate us to think

be, free and content

to understand the

human impulse of dissatisfaction

Christopher Hansard: [ there is only one word]

there is

only

one word

that can express all that you can be

regardless of where you have come from and imagine that you are going to be

and that is:

love
