It comes down to each of us...The choice is ours

Today I came upon some very interesting video material. The 3 video clips took a fair amount of time to get through, and I found myself drawn into the ideas expressed. there are lots of things to argue with in these videos, if one is of a mind to argue or resist. such a debate internally or between us, may as yet be of value. However, in this moment I am choosing to post these 3 videos for others to experience and learn about. I have not made up my mind, and welcome others insight and… Continue

DAILY QUOTE BY LYNN FISHMAN

MASTER THIS KEY TO SELF-DEVELOPMENT

"When we stop the merry go round of mental chatter, we begin to develop the art of detachment. This requires practice in order to become adept .As it becomes easier to detach your ability to merge increases. Detachment is another fine art that needs constant refinement because we live in a body with an ego. The ego’s nature is to grasp and cling. The detached state is a critical element of refining and experiencing the finer states of consciousness"

~The Universal Mind~

The Universal mind is an all-pervading, all-wise and all-powerful Intelligence that is active behind Mother Nature. It is the Intelligence that first brought life to this planet. It is the Intelligence that evolved every form of plant and animal. It is the intelligence that regulates forces of nature. All forms of plant life, animal life and human beings are just tiny parts of the bigger picture.

One of the most important things that anyone needs to understand is that every living… Continue

Intentionality & Creation

Sometimes I think that intention and creation are at odds with one another. Can I intentionally create, or is creation something that just happens out of nothing? Actually, I think it is a little of both.

Take this morning for example. On Sunday mornings, I generally set up my info table and related paraphenalia on the side walk in Ojai, across the street from the Farmer's Market. That is what I did today. My general intention in being there is to inform and inspire people about what… Continue

Connecting the Dots... skewed by experience

To the uninitiated or inexperienced this is going to sound like some lunatic fringe character conjuring up a sci-fi story to wow his own ego. And they would be right, but only because that is their belief system. I've had a lot of questions since I was a child, set up from birth it seems. I've questioned my reality on too many occasions without any kind of mind altering substance to produce perceptions of the weirdness. Well, after a few decades of experience I have to say there is some… Continue

In the silence of listening,
you can know yourself in everyone,
the unseen singing softly to itself
and to you.

Eagle telling

Eagle

“I like the name Eagle. Eagle means much to an American Indian…

“The eagle knows the freedom! The eagle knows the flight! The eagle lives where there are only the wind, the sun, mountains, fathomless precipices, and — the freedom!…

“The eagle is born free and dies free! He is born to fly, to live his life soaring over mountains! Uniting his wings with the wind, the eagle gains that power which allows soaring!…

“And when death comes — the eagle… Continue

DAILY QUOTE BY LYNN FISHMAN

GROWTH IS TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACKWARD.

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."

Anais Nin.

Daily Quote By Lynn Fishman

TRANSFORM THE FEAR IN YOUR LIFE.

Growing up as the child of parents who were once prisoners of war, fear was an emotion that I clearly understood.
It has been my mission to transmute that fear in my own life. Fear clearly blocks the light from coming through.

"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live".

why I love yoga

I love yoga, because it loves me. When I breath into a pose, the energy that comes back is regenerative and healing, like love. And so - it is love. It is the attention focused and care given to my body and spirit that returns to me multiplied and metamorphosed. Yoga is the (re)cycling of energy, moving from the point of intention within my distracted monkey mind through the breath, body, emotions and spirit divine; and back again to a more focused state of mind. With each cycle returning a… Continue

Dumb, Insane

The incredibly dumb and insane planet spun, crazily, around and around, over and over and over again ad infinitum, and every time it turned, the contents of millions of boxes of all different kinds of cereal in pantries and cupboards all over the world, shooshed to the top, then to the sides, then to the bottom, then back into the top again with each steaming and dimpled revolution of that tragic and dirt crusted orb. Every six times, a small magical glinting toy surprise wrapped in sugar-dusty… Continue
