Unseen Forces

Everyone perceives through learned patterns, coming to experience the world from predetermined, inherited sets of ideas, labels and assumptions. Our very intimate understanding becomes shaped, and imagination invited to establish what is or isn’t possible in our lives.

Reflections

Distinguishing between consciousness and what it is conscious of, we might recognize the mirror apart from what is reflected on it.

Around the Fire

Spirit survives the world,
but flesh doesn’t last.
We are inexhaustible fire
and its selfsame sparks.
We are eternal flame,
but just a glint …
Burning out in this dream.

Inquiry

From where are you looking at the world?

Speaking Hands

In the same way that hands, in all their actions, display the intention of a mind moving them. Is in the awareness of the inner Self when and where the thinking becomes truly inspired.

Recognizing so at this very time and place, can’t but invite your real being to witness body and mind. Setting pure consciousness free to know itself, even while notices or leads any fleeting thought.

Body and Higher Self

“Most of us tend to assume that body and spirit are at opposite ends of the spectrum. But the body is a swirling mass of constantly changing energy … The spiritual needs we all have for love, compassion, meaningfulness, total acceptance, devotion and inner peace are not grand goals to be achieved in a distant time and place. They exist here and now and exert powerful influences on our lives. Only by transcending to the higher self can you achieve total, spontaneous fulfillment of these needs.”
__Deepak Chopra

High Hopes

Pink Floyd
“High Hopes“
The Division Bell

“Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our troughts strayed constandly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfuried
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Eneumbered forever by desire and ambition
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we’ve been so many time

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever”
