Sitting at the keyboard...

chatting with some friends. I upset another one today. Relationships with my fellow human beings can be strained at times, highly emotionally volatile, drama. Lotsa drama.

Mundane organizational management and paperwork. Policies and procedures. Too many rules :)

You know that you are done dealing with Man's Law and follow Natural Law.

Follow you heart and just do what feels best for you and that you do not harm another and treat yourself well and with Love in all your choices.

Happy you will be.

Peaceful you will be.

Harmonious you will be.
Loving always of your self, Self and All.

I believe...

that the Force, of Magick, is Real and real(science/spirit/genderneutral/zen/truth/honesty/beautifullydivine), balanced(male/female, +/-, mathematical/expressionsofTruthofLoveAndLaw/creative/love), creative, beautiful truth in all it does in the highest good for All.

Poem-from-SL-2011-10-31-091926-note-card

I sit alone in my castle and I weep tears of pain
I feel much regret for my actions that have caused her pain
She now wanders the world on her own
In spite of all that's happened
My love shows no refrain

As these tears flow and I think about the cats
Who I share this lonely place
I call a home
I stop for a moment and cry some more
Know that even now I wish she would knock at my door

What purpose does this serve?
I do not know, except that these words
do flow
Like the tears that run down upon my cheek
and I feel so helpless, maybe even weak

I have shed some tears of joy
and I have felt some moments of bliss
What I truly regret is this
That I may not ever lay my lips upon hers
for a soft and gentle loving kiss

What makes me sad
Is That she does not know how deep my love flows
I hope and pray for this understanding
So that she may know
And that there is a love that follows her
    where ever she may go

Sometimes we stumble upon hidden gems in our travels through cyberspace. Here's a zen story about a stonecutter. There's good reading here worth re-visiting.

I just finished reading Dr. Wayne Dyer's latest book "Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling". I highly recommend it, truly an inspirational work. I hope you find it inspirational too.

3. Buddhism & Hinduism. A blessed state in which the individual transcends desire and suffering and attains Nirvana" is the first definition displayed at this moment.

Wikipedia has a defintion that I think is worth reading.

I also believe that enlightenment is a process we spirits go through on our human journey, learning to lighten our burdens through the lessons of the suffering we have chosen in the path of our life. A spiritual lightening of the burden of the physical. Some do this over a lifetime, others acheive varying degrees of raising their consciousness closer to the level of love and enjoying their lives for the gift that they are and that they have been given. In the end, we all pass from this physical realm on further journeys, our destination determined by the power of our free will, just as it is given as part of our experiences here in the 3D realm of physical existence. Actually, I've always said we live in more than a 3-Dimensional world since we have more than 3 senses. Many would agree that there are 5 accepted senses of physical perception. Touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. So right there, there's at least 5 dimension or aspects to our existence. Don't limit your thinking like our physical world is limited, we live in an existence that is the ocean of infinite pontentialy. This isn't a new concept and I'm not the first person to say it, nor will I be the last. Truth is the word said with clarity and a message that you feel. Clarity is a gift. Vision. Life is a gift. Love the life you live the life you Love. Live the life you love the life you Love. Living and Loving are both a part of a happy life.

You Can't Put a Good Man Down

We're all God's children
We're someone's son,
brother, father, grandfather,
uncle, husband, lover,
companion and
friend

Each day we strive
to be better man
then we were the
day before

Each step along
the way
carries us further
along our journey
as a member
of a fraternity, as a
member of a family
and as a person
in the whole of
humanity

Good men
don't care about
recognition or fame.
For them,
It's all about
being of service to
the world.

Good men help
other's when they're
down and
lift themselves up,
dust themselves off
and go on
Sometimes even
they need a helping
hand, for them
afterall it's part of
the experience of
the human journey.

Their effort to be better than the
moment before
is a gift they wish
to give to make the
world a better place
for all.
