DON'T FEAR THE UNKNOWN, BUT RATHER EMBRACE IT AS A PART OF YOURSELF.
"A person needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change."
THE SPIRIT OF OPULENCE
By Thomas Troward, Excerpt from “The Hidden Power”
“It is quite a mistake to suppose that we must restrict and stint ourselves in
order to develop greater power or usefulness. This is to form the conception of
the Divine Power as so limited that the best use we can make of it is by a policy of
self-starvation, whether material or mental. Of course, if we believe that some
form of self-starvation is necessary to our producing good… Continue

As a writer, poet, lyricist, artist, photographer and videographer there are many projects, and never seems to be enough hours in the day! How peaceful to find just to be is enough and exciting to see so many who look to and work for positive change!
To also assist others in any way possible makes for a flurry of activity. With faith all happens just as it should, always we can proceed with assuredness.
When we reach out a hand with our heart in the right place miracles occur all… Continue

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."
It's so wonderful being here.
Can't say a few things for now because there's so much light in here!!
I can only say that I love with devotion Carlos' music and would like to do something for this world......as much possible as I can.
Love,
Lorenzo.

As children we understand the joy in the experience, the doing and being in the act of creating our life in the moment. Watch kids building a sand castle; on some level they know that the ocean will claim their efforts, but that is not important. The fun is in the making of the castle, the process of creation in that very moment of time.
Too often as adults we get preoccupied with the end product of our efforts. In Alexander Technique lessons, over focus on the results is called… Continue

A traditional indigenous arrowmaker lived with starkness and functionality, as though living was chipped as deliberately as the arrows that he crafted… conditioned with an understanding of only using what is necessary… appeared to guide his life. When he took up an arrow and straightened it in his teeth, as it was right for him to do and drew it to the bow…he re-enacted centuries old traditions and habits, in just a few flowing movements. Simple and austere, portraying the dignity of ordinary… Continue
UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE THE CHALLENGES ARE GREAT, SO TOO IS THE CREATIVE POWER TO DEAL WITH THOSE CHALLENGES. IT COULD NOT BE OTHERWISE, FOR THIS IS A UNIVERSAL LIFE LESSON.
Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.
All that is visble, clings to the invisible, the audible to the inaudible, the tangible to the itangible: Perhaps the thinkable to the unthinkable. (Novalis, qtd. in Govinda, 17).

In the land of Zen there lived a white peacock.
She spent her days dreaming in a tree,
longing of the magic sparkles in the grass,
where the rainbows flowed so free.
She wondered of the Maidens Sphere,
She marveled of her wings.
how will I find the blue-eyed plume,
unless I sread my wings.
On winds of Bluebells Cloak, she flew,
beyond the unicorns pastures,
as… Continue

The morning winds gently awakened the white peacock.
She gently shook the sleep away.
As tiny raindrops fell, she pondered what she dreamed.
If indeed the blue-eyed plume was closer than it seemed.
The beauty of the waterfalls, the diamond dust so clear.
Peacock Lagoon was richly blessed, the Maiden's Sphere was near.
The colours of the rainbow led the way.
The BEAUtiful Life Spheres,… Continue

The alternation of night and day is a cosmic process of which humans have been long aware and which has led to dualistic thinking: day and night, light and dark, right and wrong, pure and impure. However, during this alternation of night and day, there are two periods of transition — twilight as the day fades and night comes on, and dawn as night is replaced by the rays of the coming sun. During these periods of transition, shapes are less clear.… Continue
~A Day in the Snow~
A vision revelation about grief and loss.
On a recent journey exploring the beauty of nature I had a vision.
My path was not clear as there was a couple of feet of snow to walk through.
Every step I took forward created my own path.
As I walked toward my favorite tree I settled my mind into a place of peace.
My ancient tree was laden with snow so I lightened his load
by removing some snow from his… Continue

If all of you have not read Left to Tell (Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust) by Immacule'e Ilibagiza - please get a copy soon - She has been sponsored by Wayne Dyer on his "Inspiration" Series.
