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.

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

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

As your life changes, day by day, hour by hour, month by year, what do you notice or see in the experiences that make your life? are there shadows of the past feeling as it they were having hold of you right now? Or are you thinking of the future, a better place to be than where you are now? Look and breathe in the patterns of your life, how have the moments being coloured by your relationship to the life experiences thast you have had? Are you part of a community, jammed in a crowd, on an emotionally powered desert island? As your life changes, where will you be?

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.

to love

and to understand love

you need

to love the life you have

regardless of its circumstance

to love

to love the life you have

is the bedrock

of all loving

looking to your self

what do you see?

can you distinguish the fog and that which is truly you

can you look in at the many parts of

your every day mind that

seek to

define

‘who you are’

the everyday mind is the world of mixed signals

and  transformation

the inner you beneath

observes

and does

not comment

no  matter

where you are

no matter where you think you are

no matter what you believe yourself to believe

in matter

in thought

which is matter

there is

presence

in

all things

the ever knowing

You

Uncertainty

is an opportunity for knowing

uncertainity dwells in everything

trust it as a principle of wisdom and action

come to the fire

and cast away your doubts

burn all your troubles

so in the ash

you will find the jewel

you seek

come to the fire

blessing earth, wind, water

connecting

come to the fire

and know your inner flame

in the spark and  in the cinder

is the tinder of your growing soul

let the flames of knowing

rise up

and

illuminate

come to the fire, come to the fire

celebrate

who you truly are
