DAILY QUOTE BY LYNN FISHMAN

HANG IN THERE.

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.

John Quincy Adams.

Quote of the Day 12

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).

The White Peacocks Journey

The White Peacocks Journey

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 Maidens Sphere

The Maiden's Sphere

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

Twilight and Dawn

Twilight and Dawn

Rene Wadlow*

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 ~ Shared Thoughts On Healing Grief and Loss

~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

Highly Inspirational Book

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. "This book is a precious addition to the literature that tries to make sense of humankind's bottomless depravity and counterbalancing hope in an all-powerful, Loving God." Publisher's Weekly

(I was looking for a book group on here but could not find one?)

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"

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

WORD FOR THE DAY (gratefulness.org)
Saturday, Jul. 18

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