We Are ->


We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

~Arthur O’Shaughnessy

Submission or…Receptivity???

A friend brought a very insightful question to mind… and after several days of meditation on it, I had clearly defined the meaning in my head, but still didn’t have the words to verbalize. This morning, I pulled a single Osho card as my meditation for the day, and found it so clearly described what I felt that I included it below.


Receptivity
Listening is one of the basic secrets of entering into the temple of God. Listening means passivity. Listening means forgetting yourself completely – only then can you listen.

When you listen attentively to somebody, you forget yourself. If you cannot forget yourself, you never listen.

When you listen, you become just a passage, a passivity, a receptivity, a womb: you become feminine. And to arrive one has to become feminine. You cannot reach God as aggressive invaders or conquerors. You can reach God only…or it will be better to say God can reach you only when you are receptive, a feminine receptivity. When you become yin, a receptivity, the door is open – and you wait. Listening is the art for becoming passive.

Receptivity represents the feminine, receptive quality of water and of the emotions. Her arms are extended upwards to receive, and she is completely immersed in the water. She has no head, no busy and aggressive mind to hinder her pure receptivity. And as she is filled she is continuously emptying herself, overflowing, and receiving more. The lotus pattern or matrix that emerges from her represents the perfect harmony of the universe that becomes apparent when we are in tune with it.

The Queen of Water brings a time of unboundedness and gratitude for whatever life brings, without any expectations or demands. Neither duty or thought of merit or reward are important. Sensitivity, intuition and compassion are the qualities that shine forth now, dissolving all the obstacles that keep us separate from each other and from the whole.

strange beauty ->

I cannot believe that the
inscrutable universe

turns on an axis of suffering;
surely the strange beauty of the world
must somewhere rest on pure joy

Dreaming of God

A couple of nights ago, I dreamed that I saw God.  Not Michelangelo’s  Sistine Chapel version of god, but my own very personal version.

I dreamed that I was following some internal pull, like a salmon returning to its spawning ground, directing me to a barren mountainside somewhere in Hawaii. As I approached the place where I knew I was supposed to be, I could feel the sacredness of the location and the event that I was being drawn to witness.

I looked around and saw that other people were around me, all following the same pull.  It was the quest for divinity that drew us all to the same place, each humbly and honestly seeking the source of the emanation.

I looked to my right and a little down the mountain and a person caught my eye… one moment it was a man, and then it was a woman and back again… He/She reached across it’s body and tore the middle open, showing that all that I assumed to be real,  had been flat like a stage background and the hole torn open was now a peek into what was beyond.  Everything else looked the same, clouds floating, his/her feet and legs still normal, shoulders and the head continued to look at me. But its middle was now my answer.

Vibrant colors twisting, pulsing… I saw the shape of an arm pass by the hole, part of the miasma, yet apart at the same time.  In that moment of honoring the existence of another human, I witnessed what I had been brought there to see,  for me, it was my perception of the true nature of God.

God is in everything and everyone. We can be deceived temporarily by the facade of life, we can interact with the flat illusion, or we can reach deeper.

I chose to see and honor the divinity distributed equally among all things, rock, plant, animal, human, all wondrously and divinely made.  Each of us believing that we are the center of the universe, because… in truth, we contain it.

When they discover the center of the universe,
a lot of people will be disappointed...
to discover they are not it

your little corner ->


There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self

~ Aldous Huxley

You are here

The entire universe has worked together to bring us where we are right now.

What lesson in our lives should we see or learn that heaven and earth have moved all creation to give us awareness at this moment?

Love to all,

The wisdom of a dream

The mysteries of the universe are not external, they are internal.  Seeking answers honestly, and earnestly from within, allows all to see ho’omana within all things.

A moment of Gratefulness

I am ever grateful for be able to unknowingly touch or enrich other peoples lives or outlook in life.

I am also grateful for being able to knowingly touch and enrich other peoples lives or outlook in life.

I am grateful for all of the amazing people that have enriched my life, as well as all of the gifts the Universe has given me.

I am humbled…

I am GRATEFUL! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You :) :) :)
