Today it was 28 degrees in Dallas, Texas. As the plane flew over Dallas at 20,000 feet, the Shaman danced in the sunshine in his chariot. Viewing the clouds above which the chariot rode, he knew the cold underneath them would soon be evident as he would land on the grounds below. But in the ever present here and now, the warmth of the sun on the palm of his hands confirmed yet again, when you fly above the line of mediocrity in total gratitude and mindfulness, nothing is ever wrong anywhere! ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Salaam(peace) children Sa'di, the Persian(I could say Iranian, but that word alone can set one of you on the wrong wave length, how funny!!) poet and a master in the Sufi traditions says: "All of humanity is but one body, from one essence they are made alike, so that if one part of this body should be in pain, all other parts shall not feel rest or comfort". This fellow knew that some 800 years ago! Can we see it today? How can my hand do its work while my legs hurt so badly? How can my eyes enjoy beauty to its fullest extent, while my heart aches for lack of love and union? Indeed until we heal this body of our humanity and tend to its pains with care and compassionate wisdom, the Earth or the Heavens, neither can be a resting place for any one of us the parts to this whole. See yourself in everyone my child, see everyone as yourself and give without expectations, as though you are giving to your self. If I am the index finger of this body of our humanity, then let me st

Salaam(peace) children: Far too many voices telling everyone in the country about what is "wrong" with the world. Let your voice my good child, be about only solutions and WHAT IS GOOD WITH OUR WORLD! Words are very much more than sounds or digits, once spoken they reverberate far into the universal ONENESS. Let our voices be ONLY of good and light and HOPE. NO BLAME, NO SHAME, NO GUILT, ONLY ONENESS, ONLY ACTIONS TOWARDS WHAT WORKS AND WHAT IS GOOD. ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Salaam (peace) children; To be, simply being at any moment aught not to be Painful a torment enormous impossibilities suffering emotions up and down, a yoyo Being after all is a process running a designed pattern of energies and light what might "I" have to do with the why and the whom of it all? one moment low next I stand so tall An air breathing human dependent on the very design of delivery so my life may be sustained! if no air is here where am I? Show up for life daily accept what is whether it pleases you or not No thought is best if you can of this ,the other and that Don't bother to decipher life delete the need to understand my good child Every event is an unfolding of the source of life unto itself, from itself, by itself you and I my love are shadows of that dancing source How can a shadow say "I am"? To be, aught not to be so full of you and me it aught to be as a tree giving and receiving being, without attachment to the drama that flows around eve

Salaam(peace) children; The toughest lesson to learn for most intermediate to advanced students of spiritual growth into ONENESS , is how to recognize and let go of the EGO games. Who gets offended for one reason or another almost daily? Who's feelings get hurt when expectations are not met? Who sits at judgment of others as to their worthiness and place in life? Who gets satisfaction from praise? Who collects stuff of this world and proudly displays them? You want another good one? Who is so patriotic as to forget the ONENESS of life? Zeal for the religion or belief systems? Pride in a piece of painted cloth?These are SRPC's, Societal Ritualistic Pagan Ceremonies! All, is EGO, vanity of vanities as king Solomon would say, all is vanity my child. The moment we dishonor a teacher or an elder, the times when we dishonor and destroy the face of our mother Earth, we have allowed the Ego to be in charge. How about when we strut our stuff of positions and possessions? If There is

Salaam(peace) children; The hands that write the lines that come to be, Who is the one reading, who is the writer? Being mindful is like having a bell around your ankles, jing, gling, jing gling The ear hears the sound, the mind registers the awakened soul is revived by the connections of what is God is in motion, In so many forms, in so many ways Mind is not a big enough of a vessel to hold the essence of such Beingness What will keep you connected this day my child? what sound, what vision, a breath perhaps? Do take the time, to stay connected to THE SOURCE How else will you stay calm to resolve conflicts if not through the daily connection through mindfulness and attentiveness? Humble beings, know not God but live indifferent to all much as a tree, there is no knowing to its nature giving oxygen, never saying a word about the life giving essence it provides. only being the tree, in all moments Yet the cell is conscious of all things and death is only another journey when God is movi

salaam(peace) children; As we grow in spiritual realm, much like the physical(real?) world, the tests and the conditions of saying "I am here" get tougher. It was easy passing eighth grade and got harder trying to get the diploma at the end of the High School years. In your spiritual learning my child, care to be ready, know this now that just when you think you know enough to go on, just when you think you "got it", the ever present teacher will throw you a curve ball you thought you knew how to hit, and you'll keep trying and trying, but miss over and over again, until you realize that it may look the same as the one you knew, but it spins far differently and requires more practice and yes going back to the basics again! May your eyes be always open and your mind alert enough to see the next bend on the road and accept it as it comes with its load of pain and hardship of learning. May you be humble enough to see that it is THE EGO SELF which is always in the w

Salaam (peace) children; As soon as you realize my child that you do not control your breath, that it comes from an elsewhere of which no one has really told you about. As soon as you see that no one is really in control of much to speak of, that even the very SUN which sustains all life is a temporary measure of sustaining life on Earth. You cannot help but want to sit quietly and wonder about who or what it is that really is in control! Do this enough times a day, and voila!! You have arrived at the doors of awakening changes. In my times of quiet meditations, there is a sweet voice that says to me "Look my son, I breathe your breath, I play your music, I put the Earth in orbit for your home, behold these and KNOW THAT I AM, Count it all joy even in pain my child, for my gifts do not come wrapped in pretty papers and bows. ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Thursday, June 28, 2007 (A RERUN, BECAUSE TIME IS THE SAME, BUT NO FLOODS!) salaam (peace) children; it has not stopped raining here in Texas,since my arrival! They say 21 days of rain in may is the most it has ever rained in Texas, and it has not stopped yet close to the end of June! I have freaked a few Texans by collecting and drinking the precious rain water! My own kids remember us doing it in Arizona, but they have grown and forgotten the ways . I keep getting this message of urgency to remain connected to THE LIGHT SOURCE WITHIN, as if life is saying to all the true seekers "no more half ass'ed measures will do now" (a very awakening thought, more like a kick in the ass ). I have been blessed with the deepest, most intimate moments with THE BELOVED. I found wisdom in getting sick as a dog in the past three days when my teacher Rumi tongue said "THE CURE TO EVERY PAIN IS IN THE PAIN ITSELF". I fell ill a

Salaam(peace) children: Most of us true seekers of wisdom have also gained the "knowledge" of how to maintain a balanced life and harmonious walks amongst our brothers and sisters. And, it appears that "THE SOURCE" is always giving us hints as to the direction and methodologies that works in our individual cases. No garden shall bear any fruits unless the gardener is at hand daily, weeding, watering, and tending to the plants' needs. Yet I tell you my good children, all we really have to "DO" is show up daily and trust the wisdom that created the garden that is our lives. This trusting business is at once easy and difficult. It is easy because there is no "doing", I am not the gardener. It is difficult because for the most part we don't seem to show up with any measurable amount of trust or surrendering our willful selves to THE ONE! Yes I show up, but my mind seems to be busy with what I was dealing with yesterday or what is to come lat

Salaam(peace) children; All is well even as we may only see darkness, pain, and suffering. Once we can see only ONENESS and sustain that vision for as long as we humanly can, who is suffering? Who is the bad guy and the good guy? My beautiful ones; Remember your essence of being is still coming from a place no one has yet to KNOW! The very breath that holds your life, you pet's life, you planet's life, is dependent on the atmosphere which contains it all. Follow in your mind's eye the origin of whatever you may fancy, all is connected, all is ONE! Who is suffering? Who is holy? What is God? Blaming, anger, hatred, shame, guilt, envy, worry, fear; Well, you get the picture....just because we think it is so, it does not make it real. We must learn to stop separatists attitudes so as to allow ONENESS to enter our hearts. But then again it matters not to the SOURCE whether there is a receiving vessel, it flows just the same passed, in, and around itself to itself. ONLY GOD A

LET NOTHING DISTURB YOUR PEACE, IS THERE A YOU AND A HISH(he/she)? IS THERE? THERE IS ONLY ME, I AM THAT I AM, I PLAY YOUR MUSIC, I PUT THE SUN IN ORBIT, I MADE EARTH YOUR HOME, IF ALL THE WATERS OF ALL THE OCEANS WERE TO TURN INTO INK, NONE COULD WRITE ALL THAT I AM NOT EVEN A FRACTION OF THAT WHICH I AM, ALL. HOW CAN A MIND SO LIMITED, HOLD THE IMAGE OF A GOD SO INFINITE? YET I AM AS CLOSE TO THE HUMAN AS THE VEINS ON HISH(his/her) NECK, THE ONLY FORM WHO'S HEART COULD HOLD MY ESSENCE OF LOVE BUT NOT HISH(his/hers) MIND KNOW YOUR HUMAN-NESS BE YOUR DIVINE ESSENCE FEEL THE HUMANITY OF YOUR LIFE ALLOW GOD WITHIN LET GOD WEAVE THROUGH YOUR DAILY LIFE. LET THE HANDS THAT FASHIONED YOUR FORM FASHION A SOUL SO PERFECT AS THE SOUL OF GOD IN YOU! BE MELTED WAX IN THE FORCE OF EVENTS FLOW BOTH IN FORM AND FORMLESSNESS LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF THE FLUTE IT IS ME PLAYING YOUR MUSIC WITH THE BREATH OF A HUMAN FORM ANOTHER YOU! LET YOUR BREATH BE YOUR ONLY

Salaam(peace) children; There has been new materials on self realization and pathways to higher consciousness about. Some give it away (as it aught to be) and some are just peddlers in guru clothings. Please remember again, that if you have to pay for your higher self's presence or understanding, if you have to pay to be awakened to your higher self, then the path is not and will not be the right path for you. The universal GIVER never has nor ever can charge for its SERVICES! There is only ONE GIVER my children, whatever comes your way, some times horribly painful and some times pleasant and p0werfully sweet to the soul within. No matter what comes, it is only from the ONE GIVER! Your job is to learn to ACCEPT the gift of life and be present daily, do your tasks whatever they maybe, and TRUST THAT A GOOD ENDING IS SURE TO COME. Trusting that whatever is on your plate of life now, is precisely what you needed(your brain may say differently) to go the next leg on your journey. To e

"Let whoever brought me here, take me back"----Rumi "Show proof of patience, and trust that a happy ending is sure to come"--Rumi " Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith. "--Max Planck Just as it takes 60 trillion individual cells (Each with its own set up conscious activity patterns and pathways"; So too, ONENESS OF GOD IS MANIFESTED IN EVERY FORM AND FORMLESS. FROM THE SEEN TO THE UNSEEN, ALL IS ONE BODY, ONE BEING, ONE SINGLE ENTITY OF NO DESCRIPTION. ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

We dance the daily dance of life, fetch the water, chop the wood and go through scenarios in our heads as we pass what seems to be a measurable quantity of "time"! Is time passing or am I creating it by the thoughts I carry about it? My good children; If at the moment a dark thought enters our minds, we stop and use a tool of some sort to hinder and cease its hold on our consciousness, don't you think we'd all want to do just that? What is that tool then? Have we not talked in detail about it? Have you not seen the results, the positively wonderful results of daily meditations? Of daily connections to THE SOURCE? Of eating life enhancing foods and of gratitude? Why then my love must you continue to suffer imagined conditions fed by nothing more than an old programmed thought in the neuro-net works of your brain? How has having the argument in you head and raising the blood pressure ever helped a situation? Freedom is not real if it does not offer comfort and joy and

Salaam(peace) children; " rasad odami beh jaee keh beh joz khoda nabinad " ( Human will come to the point in life where he sees none but GOD), is part of a poem from the sufi teacher Sa'di some 8 or so hundred years ago. May all of you my dear ones find that space soon within your formless forms and be forever free of the sufferings you imagine as real. If we could actually hear and see the "CREATOR", the original "CASUE" of life my children, relegions, separations, dualities, and sufferings would cease to exist, becasue ONLY GOD IS, and NONE ELSE! ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

salaam(peace) children; In the digital waves of emails bring something we cannot help but share it. you dear ones, read the words in between the lines if you would please and, kindly do remember rule number 6.   , i am sending this quote with a friend's commentary. how are you? lovekt   As you live deeper in the heart, the mirror gets clearer and cleaner.  Shams of Tabriz realized God in himself. When that happens, you have no anxieties about losing anyone or anything.  You break the spells that human difficulties cause.  --Jelaludd

MESSAGE FROM THE HOPI ELDERS You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour. Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered: Where are you living? What are you doing? What are your relationships? Are you in right relation? Where is your water? Know your garden. It is time to speak your Truth. Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader. This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and so swift, that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know that the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to t

Salaam(peace) children; I remember not having a body! A part of the life force in this body has not changed since it arrived on this planet, Earth. Listen to this quote children; " If you knew, who walks beside you at all times, on this journey which you have chosen, you would never fear nor worry ever again" Fear and worry are products of our disconnected minds from that essence of life which, if you think about it is present in all forms, animated or not! Look kids, try to get this please my beautiful ones, YOU ARE NOT, ONLY LIFE IS, and it flows through the form you call "me, I" as it does in the form of flowing rivers and flying birds. IT, this life force which gives existence its meaning (as we understand it any way) could care less whether you believe or not, because there really is no you that is independent of IT! A fool would say that "all this happened by coincidence" and the bigger fool would start believing that or find reason to be doubtful!
