Interconnectedness

Melissa — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:08:38 GMT

All is Interconnected When we try to pick anything out by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. - John Muir How can we fret and stew sub specie aeternitatis - under the calm gaze of ancient Tao? The salt of the sea is in our blood; the calcium of the rocks is in our bones; the genes of ten thousand generations of stalwart progenitors are in our cells. The sun shines and we smile. The winds rage and we bend before them. The blossoms open and we ...

PASSION IS EVERYTHING

Wild Dove — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:47:49 GMT

Black Belly's story, now that I have read it says so much to me, (my moon is in Scorpio, I am a passionate lover in real life) and I went to my old poems. Here's what I found: Passion and Purpose �2002 by White Eagle A Duality of Duty if one isn't sure A Oneness of Service if one isn't pure Devoted to achieving not just believing one's faith. Working with it, not just sitting back Or simply flirting with it. But picking up the pieces Come on, perk up! Lift up your ...

CALMING THE SUMMER FIRES IN WINTER

Releasing Rage

masterindisguise — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:34:57 GMT

This was written by Ken Page RELEASING RAGE A friend of mine who studied with a Buddhist priest came to visit me and we talked about all the changes taking place on Earth at this time. Right before he left, he gave me some information that was to change my life. He said there is a Buddhist belief that this is the last lifetime the priests are going to be here on Earth. He asked me, "Since this is to be their final life, do you know what is the last thing they have to release?" ...

Removing Sadness from The Mirror's Reflection

Wild Dove — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:32:00 GMT

Put all sadness from thee, for it is the sister of doubt and anger. It is the most mischievous of all spirits and the worst to the servants of Thine Own Beloved. Learn now, O unwise man! how it troubleth the Holy Spirit: Remove therefore, sadness from thyself and afflict not the Holy Spirit that dwelleth within thee. -The Shepherd of Hermes, A.D. 142-157

We are about to leave Scorpio and move into Sagittarius. Great Spirit, using Black Belly and her humor to give me her message tells me this story: Its best to patrol the offenders, remove them from society for they are toxic and cause a great deal of public suffering is the result. But, Do I have to kill them?, said the night-patrolman. No, I replied. Capture him and give him a chance to tell his story about why he is doing what he's doing. The night-patrolman did so.

For those of you who are questioning your motives (or those of others) meditate on this for awhile: There's no mistake about it. You did what You had to do. Stick with it. Let the way people around You perceive it be a lesson in humility for You. Not everyone is as far along as You thought they were. But you know where you stand, don't you? Ponder this. Take it in completely and let it work through you: Thou art to keep thyself in this wonderful silence humility brought you ...

THOUGHT FROM WHITE EAGLE FOR NOV. 10th

Reach out to everything that comes your way today. Open Your arms, Your heart and Your mind. Walk into the darkness, bringing the light that was given to You with You as You go.

SITTING QUIETLY

Wild Dove — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:18:13 GMT

A wonderful painting is the result of the feeling in your fingers. If you have the feeling of the thickness of the ink in your brush, the painting is already there before you paint. When you dip your brush into the ink you already know the result of your drawing, or else you cannot paint. So before you do something, "being" is there, the result is there. Even though you look as if you were sitting quietly, all your activity, past and present, is included, and the result of your sitting ...

Success or Failure

Wild Dove — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:27:12 GMT

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." - Thomas Edison These teachings are like a raft, to be abandoned once you have crossed the flood. Since you should abandon even good states of mind generated by these teachings, How much more so should you abandon bad states of mind! Conquer the angry man by love. Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness. Conquer the miser with generosity. Conquer the liar with truth. ...

No one is more important than anyone else. No blame

Wild Dove — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:48:08 GMT

A myriad of bubbles were floating on the surface of a stream all looking the same. 'What are you?' I cried to them as they drifted by. 'I am a bubble, of course' nearly all the bubbles answered in unison, but there was surprise and indignation in their voices as they passed. Yet, here and there, a lonely bubble answered, 'We are this stream'.There was neither surprise nor indignation in its voice. Just a quiet certitude. - Wei Wu Wei- It is hard for humans to see themselves as insignificant. ...

When the violin forgives....

Wild Dove — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:00:35 GMT

When the violin can forgive the past, it starts singing. When the violin stops worrying about the future You become a laughing nuisence for some. But god decides to come down and comb your hair into his. WHEN THE VIOLIN STOPS BLAMING THE PLAYER AND THE PLAYER STOPS BLAMING THE VIOLIN, when the violin can forgive every wound caused by Others, your heart starts singing. You are my violin, aren't you? - Hafiz - (revised Oct. 21. 10:59 AM to TwoHawk by the master himself)

Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have the power to create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about. If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job. If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick. If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating. If you keep saying you're always broke, guess what? You'll always be broke. If you keep ...

Giving back the past

Nenochtoo — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:24:41 GMT

As someone who spends a good amount of time outdoors, be it hiking, camping, fishing looking for odds and ends or just sitting in the woods, over the years I've fond many things - Wood and stone for carving, dropped antlers, feathers of all types, old bones for crafts along with the ocassional artifact. From prehistoric-pre-contact projectile points and pottery shards to a shilling from 1745 with George II's likeness stamped upon it. Lots of Civil War stuff around here as well.

Wild Love

masterindisguise — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:02:59 GMT

Last night, I dreamt that I was a deer-roaming free through the forest, leaping over bracken and streams, pausing to graze in a woodland clearing, my ears twitching and alert, my eyes and nose alive to everything around me. I awoke from my dream, rose from my bed, and opened the shutters. Morning light poured into the room, and I gazed into the garden. A few paces away, beneath an oak tree, a deer looked up and glanced toward me. For a split moment, I felt my ears twitch and did not know whether ...

A Tear from His Eye A tear from his eye fell down his cheek It touched a weak heart gone cold He shuddered in alarm.

The Turning Point

THE TURNING POINT By Aluna Joy Yaxk�in As we enter into the Shift of the Ages, prophesied by the ancient ones . . . a place many feel is the time leading up to 2012, we reach a point of no return. At this turning point, the balance of life begins to move away from the world of the past and begins to relocate in a new cycle of time that we see as our future. The door behind us slams shut, while a new door creaks open. It is a strangely, empty pause . . . like when a wave goes out, and the ...

How bright is daylight?

Wild Dove — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:55:41 GMT

The mad poet is at it late at night again. This just came in: How bright is daylight? How dark is the night? Which is softer, the shadow that crosses the plains Or the grasses that bend down softly Just to kiss the ground in the rain? How sweet is the bending willow who touches a stream with her lips While water giggles as she slips pass the kiss wandering her way Downstream gazing at the sunlight through the wings of a butterfly Touching infinity. How sweet ...

Those who do not love the Beloved shall not be able to see Him, for one cannot know and see the sun with a lamp. Pure of heart, He desires nothing, Even in despair. He is content In the knowledge of the Self. With whom may I compare him? With clear and steady insight He knows that whatever he sees It is by its very nature nothing. How can he prefer one thing to another? "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of ...
