Let it not be about instant profitability or getting even-ness of things in our lives. Learn to sew a seed or two and nurture them for future harvest and gratification. Walk away from an argument/quarrel without so much as a second thought about whether you proved a point or not.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-sTPISbC_xPE/SMIyFkLY3XI/AAAAAAAAAPg/evkMpiwxmMA/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-sTPISbC_xPE/SMIyFkLY3XI/AAAAAAAAAPg/evkMpiwxmMA/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;A seed of kindness and silent unassuming forgiveness,&amp;nbsp;yields&amp;nbsp;much fruit of happiness later.

The yard stick in our lives for "is it working?" needs to get as close to those ABSOLUTE TRUTHS as possible for the journey to be fruitful! Otherwise why bother being alive? Who cares? I tell you love, it is not God! Care, in the way we understand, is not the way things work in the &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;"Dream Factory" of THE ONE!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;At the bottom of it all is pure EMPTINESS.

Awakening then is finding a way out of &amp;nbsp;these automated patterns. Therein lies the biggest universal joke put on display! We must find other patterns to live by and everyone and their uncle and cousins have a pattern for sale or "offerings" for us to choose from.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;My beautiful children, after you're done "following" everyone else's how to's and spent enough money buying your salvation you'll find if you are amongst the lucky ones, that YOU ARE GOD, THE UNIVERSAL SELF, FINE, JUST AS YOU ARE! The most beautiful rhythmic pattern of all is flowing right through you, but you've been made to believe it is elsewhere! Count your breaths awhile and be still, you'll hear its&amp;nbsp;rhythm&amp;nbsp;and feel its beat most assuredly!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color:

There are many such lessons that only time can deliver and not a minute sooner. Along the way we even have internal conversations between the lover and the beloved, The Teacher and the student, and if by design or good luck and genes the young student is paying attention, The Teacher has never stopped teaching.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The beloved said "your grace IS your strength, know you not this by now?" and the lover sighed "hold me, touch me in most gentle and comforting way, let all my senses and my heart know without any doubt, that I am in your embrace!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;So how do I know it is indeed "The Teacher" and not my own head making up stuff, and I can only listen from the inside? Asked a child once to which, the elder replied: " The Teacher, also known by many other names, will always speak softly, never use foul language, and the direction you receive is always, always towards the betterment of your life"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do you know your inner self connected to THE SOURCE giving you guidance?

Keeping in mind these basics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* ALL THINGS ARE IN MOTION (Nothing is in total stillness because at the molecular and sub-molecular levels of life, in forms seemingly motionless, like a chair or a mountain made up of rocks) PARTICLES must be in motion, if ANY FORM is to be manifested)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* ALL THINGS EMIT MEASURABLE WAVELENGTHS OF ENERGY (in many forms, the patterns energy can assume, are not visible by the naked eye)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* ALL MATTER IS ENERGY (Our thoughts, words, deeds, the flowers and the water too!! All forms made up  of ENERGY PATTERNS). This my children, is not a philosophy or religion, neither is it pure cold science, because without our ancient built in wisdom, there would be no science. This is how it all works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* OUR THOUGHTS CAN INFECT THAT "FIELD SOURCE" OF ALL POSSIBILITIES, thereby affecting its FORM! You can call it mind over matter, but that would really be unfair. Because it is LIFE SHAPING ITSELF THROUGH THE VEHICLE THAT IS YOU! Just the same my love, why not be an active participant in the formation of all matter and see where it takes us? Ha? Why not? What else are you so busy doing with your time, because that is all it takes,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; participation in that CREATIVE FIELD OF ALL POSSIBILITIES requires only time on your part and daily confirmation of that intention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Be the change you wish to see and experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* What is the SOURCE OF ALL MOTIONS? What is in motion if we are the image of the motion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* PONDER THE ANSWER TO THESE MY CHILD, AND WITNESS ANSWERS PRINTED ON THE FACE OF INFINITY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-7533254792233785124?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/7533254792233785124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=7533254792233785124&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/7533254792233785124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/7533254792233785124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-motion-what-source.html' title='WHAT MOTION?

Simple I replied; " Change an old habit or pattern of doing things. Do something you have not done ever before, any thing. Or, stop doing something you are so used to doing routinely. You watch T.V. at a certain time every day? Go take dancing lessons in that same time period, take a walk, or just hang out at the park/mall/street corner and watch life"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;She called me six months later to report that she and her husband are now doing Polka every Saturday night, but as a new habit, it has brought them closer than ever before and they have found new friends. OK then....we call that tools for right living.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-5331504807004558785?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/5331504807004558785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=5331504807004558785&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/5331504807004558785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/5331504807004558785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2009/07/tools-for-right-living.html' title='TOOLS FOR RIGHT LIVING'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SmbBdSVbMMI/AAAAAAAAAjY/blmDHqth2Bw/s72-c/download.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-1684559552625276723</id><published>2009-07-15T15:12:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T15:32:33.369-07:00</updated><title type='text'>pontifications......</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Sl5TxcmgtqI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/KxgL4e_WyHc/s1600-h/Nirvana.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 243px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Sl5TxcmgtqI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/KxgL4e_WyHc/s320/Nirvana.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358812715573884578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This old man Hamid David Dashti as he is known, seems to be charged with&lt;br /&gt;a mission not yet defined.

It is all a passing dance of energy patterns from the void into the non-void and back to the Source! Your breath tells you that as it gives you life from you don't know where!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being, just simply Being, aught not to be mostly pain, but leastly pain and mostly joy! If it is not, then we are following the wrong religion\walk\path if even our chosen God, Church or objects of worship cannot bring us mostly joy!&lt;br /&gt;If you are miserable in your walk, CHANGE DIRECTIONS OR PATTERNS OF WALKING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acceptance of what is (considering that no one knows for sure what&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt; &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is) is the only dance in my humble opinion. Even in painful times, we can learn to step back or aside long enough to see that most of what pains us may or may not even be true or accurate! Learn my child to bear your pains in GRACE! In a relationship for example, one learns that to be true to the relationship, one must accept much more and expect a lot less, just to keep the hope of a tomorrow (together) alive! If the world does not go my way today, I must have the wisdom to know that, IT WILL JUST WHEN I NEED IT MOST.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you my dear child are a molecule in this dance of energy, why not just dance? You cannot change any thing, person, or place in the world until you have changed what you need to about the self in your body. You cannot change your self even until you realize that the only change is in your &lt;a href="http://www.brucelipton.com/store/biology-of-belief"&gt;PERCEPTIONS&lt;/a&gt; OR &lt;a href="http://www.brucelipton.com/store/biology-of-belief"&gt;BELIEFS&lt;/a&gt;.  No matter what is pressing now, go inward and find that connection to the SOURCE of acceptance and flowing......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 strive to be the best, most useful index finger I can be and, only give my best with total gladness and humility, not busy myself with why others do what they do, but why "I" do what I do or not do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn from water, because you are mostly water my child. Be free and flowing, clinging onto no thing, only delivering your goodness wherever you travel in your counted days as part of this whole. Now see the Earth too as a living being, care that you do not injure her body or abuse her abundance through foolish consumption. Since death is an integral part of birth, oh good children; Live as though your time is at hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-3715942877196275605?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/3715942877196275605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=3715942877196275605&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3715942877196275605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3715942877196275605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2008/12/salaampeace-children-sadi-persiani.html' title='WHY DO WE DO THE THINGS WE DO,..WHY DON&apos;T WE DO THE THINGS WE DO NOT!'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/STyHYDC8XqI/AAAAAAAAAYo/TFPX70zKNeY/s72-c/ShamansGate_8.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-3688821850960151159</id><published>2008-11-24T23:35:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-07T14:46:38.350-07:00</updated><title type='text'>GOODNESS FLOWS LIKE WATER~~~~</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SSudTNRHlmI/AAAAAAAAAYg/q_b1O643a-c/s1600-h/geraffe+kiss.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SSudTNRHlmI/AAAAAAAAAYg/q_b1O643a-c/s320/geraffe+kiss.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272480742071834210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Salaam(peace) children:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Far too many voices telling everyone in the country about what is "wrong" with the world.

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 &lt;a href="http://www.workingwithoneness.org/"&gt;ONENESS&lt;/a&gt; of life? Zeal for the religion or belief systems? Pride in a piece of painted cloth?These are SRPC's,  Societal Ritualistic Pagan Ceremonies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If There is ever any hope for the wonderers of this planet to be free of the cycles of birth and death my child, it is to come humbly before the SOURCE OF ALL MATTER AND NON-MATTER, to gladly accept and be ready to accept total annihilation of the  EGO SELF into the ONE SELF that is GOD. This ancient wisdom has been passed on by most teachers and masters of time in one way or another. Christ put it like this: "you must first die onto your self before being born into the spirit". The Muslim/Sufi way says it in one word: FANAA!"Total annihilation of the self ego into GOD's essence". Much like a drop of water finally accepting that the Ocean is where it came from and plunging into it to BE no more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet my children, it is not a doing, but a being that is required of us. Being present daily at the table of the Beloved, Allowing the Light to pour in over our Beingness, to go on humbly taking care of the world, fetch the wood and carry the water, always waiting, always anticipating the freedom from FORM AND FORMLESSNESS. Kings have come and gone, look beyond the stuff of this material world and seek my child a daily connection to your eternal home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-9189482294993729268?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/9189482294993729268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=9189482294993729268&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/9189482294993729268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/9189482294993729268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2008/09/fana-sufi-term-for-total-innihilation.html' title='FANA~ (SUFI TERM FOR TOTAL INNIHILATION OF THE SELF INTO GOD)'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SMm_mbASfuI/AAAAAAAAATU/GZC78GqIClw/s72-c/water+drop.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-4400649861471528418</id><published>2008-09-05T13:11:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-05T13:37:22.599-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FIRST MOVEMENT, THEN GROWTH</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SMGWlvZ5ECI/AAAAAAAAALs/0uiS0u5MUf4/s1600-h/forests5.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

It was easy passing eighth grade and got harder trying to get the diploma at the end of the High School years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 way of your progress and not the teachers who create the test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And....when you die, you'll probably pick up where you left off here, so pay more attention while your eyes can see and your ears are not filled with dirt and worms.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-3117862345778796629?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/3117862345778796629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=3117862345778796629&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3117862345778796629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3117862345778796629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2008/04/awakening-changes.html' title='AWAKENING CHANGES'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SH2lj3g_eGI/AAAAAAAAAK8/qZUiisf0ibg/s72-c/meditation.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-2973634531016857235</id><published>2008-06-24T15:52:00.006-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:24.595-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ONENESS CALLS, WHO WILL HEED THE CALL?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SGXkE-YuDAI/AAAAAAAAAK0/rAjVTU40fBM/s1600-h/EYE1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 112px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SGXkE-YuDAI/AAAAAAAAAK0/rAjVTU40fBM/s320/EYE1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216826517495876610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           &lt;!-- Begin .post --&gt;    &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;Thursday, June 28, 2007 (A RERUN, BECAUSE TIME IS THE SAME, BUT NO FLOODS!)&lt;/span&gt;                               &lt;p&gt;       &lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-family:times new roman;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;salaam (peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;the ways&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 and did not get up for 2 days. My daughter could not believe it, nor could the grand kids, "WHAT? " they said, "babajune never gets sick, he helps sick people!". It has been a full menu for a seeker of LOVE! I am well because of LOVE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where will we go from here? How will we know? My beautiful friend, what comes back as an answer is "come, come, be silent with &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;the force&lt;/span&gt; , and let GOD be your only thought &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;as often as you can,&lt;/span&gt; for the hour is near(what is near? a decade? 3 centuries? What does that matter to a true seeker), nothing else, no other matter is relevant to the story's end now! Not a single THING!!" i want to cry, no shout out, NO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;no:no:no&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;!! I have concerns in the human form, my dreams, my work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;BUT ONENESS IS, ALL THAT IS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/no:no:no&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-family:times new roman;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-family:times new roman;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;The dead, the living, all the religions, all the belief systems of nations, the fighting, the loving, the getting jerked over by some technician in Ohio, the flood that just took 30 mobile homes in the poor town just down the road in Texas(none of whom had flood insurance), and the Iraqi's who have electricity only 4 hours a day. The Muslim who kills another Muslim, The evil that acts from the Christian heart of a KKK member.  The Tsunami that kills hundreds of thousands in one day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oppressed and the oppressor, the rape of the planet through ignorance, the greed of the corporate human form, the river that runs obediently, the seven layers of the heavens, Zero point field energy, the holy men of Tibet, and the hopeless men in the Middle East, &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;All is ONENESS&lt;/span&gt;, Look at the hands of GOD shaping a mate for himself out of the stuff of the universe! Where are you my children in your hour of sleep-fullness?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-family:times new roman;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-family:times new roman;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is any of us really awake? Is any body listening to the voice of GOD crying? Is God not the loneliest father/mother waiting for the kids to remember the family? What do we know of pain as the rain keeps pouring and the dead feel no more? No wonder it takes a few billion to make a hand full of pure ones! What does the engineer care if the mold must be broken a million more times?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be well my love, be forever with the light and trust the wisdom that created you.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 later. And, above all it appears that my wondering desireful self has addictions to one substance or another, be it in organic form or a state of mind form (they all produce hormones my self seems to get off on) which, really get in the way of an enhanced life as appose to a hindered one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every thing "I" do will either enhance my life or hinder it.  Who is it in me that wishes me ill by hindering  the flow of good energies? Yet and still, every negatively charged event in our lives only serves (if we are awakened enough) as a reminder to accept all and find our balance. Of the two wolves fighting within, the one I feed the most shall win the battle this day. Know thyself and you have come to know GOD!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-712950710377412070?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/712950710377412070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=712950710377412070&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/712950710377412070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/712950710377412070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-do-we-measure-success.html' title='HOW DO WE MEASURE SUCCESS?'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SEPEsxKm-AI/AAAAAAAAAKk/eaX4VnG_8Xo/s72-c/crow+to+dove.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-770490719297717624</id><published>2008-05-01T12:58:00.006-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:24.898-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ONENESS 11:11</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.onenessminute.org/home.cfm"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SBorpaifPyI/AAAAAAAAAKc/HawejVeX30c/s320/1111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195513110623895330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;All is well even as we may only see darkness, pain, and suffering.

Who is the bad guy and the good guy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-770490719297717624?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/770490719297717624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=770490719297717624&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/770490719297717624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/770490719297717624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2008/05/oneness-1111.html' title='ONENESS 11:11'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/SBorpaifPyI/AAAAAAAAAKc/HawejVeX30c/s72-c/1111.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-3779136480878359737</id><published>2008-03-31T11:21:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:25.472-07:00</updated><title type='text'>LET NOTHING DISTURB OUR PEACE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R_EtHc5K9wI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/SUNA7r3FooA/s1600-h/Globular+Cluster+Messier+55.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To  expect &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"All happy, fun, pleasant" experiences is as foolish as expecting the storms not to ever come on the planet, to always have pleasant spring like weather! When we learn to ACCEPT what is, as a gift from the GIVER OF GIFTS my beautiful ones, we can then begin to grow and 'MATURE" in the real sense of the word. It is not a doing thing, it is a BEING!  In fact if you look closer to our world today, it is in so much "do do" because of all who thought they can "do" for it and save its environment and be politically active and blah blah blah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world (this life) has much more up its sleeves than any human could ever muster even after they try and lean what has gone wrong. Not realizing that it is indeed "us" who have not played ball by the rules, that we are the broken ones and not the world, is indeed the saddest human tragedy of all times. Yes people art being killed, there is pollution up the yin/yang, and famine and hate mongering is rampant. But if you think my love, that you can "FIX" these things by outward motions and actions, you too will become part of what is wrong with our ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must learn to "ALLOW" the wisdom of GOD back into our lives, trust the design and show up daily saying "HERE i AM LOVE, HOW CAN I HELP?". Realizing that we are at once Divine and Mere air breathing Humans! Lo and behold you'll be shown ways of being, acting, doing that have nothing to do with you, but a flow of energy, an active, wise force, which also makes milk and brings rains to dry lands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-3937757748867461391?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/3937757748867461391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=3937757748867461391&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3937757748867461391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3937757748867461391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2008/03/are-of-allowing.html' title='THE ART OF ALLOWING!'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R9xq0c6DQeI/AAAAAAAAAKI/UjoZPd8eY0s/s72-c/grandpa2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-5271942043680108758</id><published>2008-03-11T02:49:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:25.829-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ONENESS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R9Zib86DQdI/AAAAAAAAAKA/M_DitSaHOjM/s1600-h/all+faiths-interfaith.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R9Zib86DQdI/AAAAAAAAAKA/M_DitSaHOjM/s320/all+faiths-interfaith.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176433054054564306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Let whoever brought me here, take me back"----Rumi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Show proof of patience, and trust that a happy ending is sure to come"--Rumi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);" class="body"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;"--Max Planck&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;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.

Is time passing or am I creating it by the thoughts I carry about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom is not real if it does not offer comfort and joy and contentment! Does your freedom, does your religion do this for you my child? If not, then know for certain my love that it is the wrong freedom, it is the wrong religion for you!

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" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;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!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;A fool would say that "all this happened by coincidence" and the bigger fool would start believing that or find reason to be doubtful! Tell me child, if this "LIFE FORCE" were not present, would there be a you or any thing else? Whether you believe or understand, IT goes on as it has for millions of years, and YOU ARE NOT apart from IT! So how can a being who IS NOT except as a result of another flowing force giving ITS being, its form, have problems or worries? Does the tree say "Oh no, another winter, I have to almost die again"? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;Come awake now children, KNOW FOR CERTAIN WITHOUT A WAVERING DOUBT, THAT LIFE IS, GOD IS, BUT YOU ARE ONLY AN IMAGE OF IT ALL! Go gather a bunch of genes and particles and arrange them in any way you wish, and see if they "coincidentally" make a life form as beautiful as you or a flower with the female part carrying the seeds for the next generation? We can even write down perfect formulas explaining almost every aspect of how life works or is, but we will never have a way to give them "life"! They just lay there lifeless, in perfect equilibrium!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;em&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-3568623439840706018?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/3568623439840706018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=3568623439840706018&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3568623439840706018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3568623439840706018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2008/01/life-is-god-is-you-are-not.html' title='LIFE IS, GOD IS,,,,,,,,,   YOU;;;;     ARE NOT!!!!!'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R4HeAYPN6XI/AAAAAAAAAJY/MdoI0DYUF8I/s72-c/coca-detail.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-8273547582887349117</id><published>2007-12-26T13:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:27.503-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R3K6poPN6WI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/q0-yFvJtUkg/s1600-h/tao%2520waves.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R3K6poPN6WI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/q0-yFvJtUkg/s320/tao%2520waves.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5148382548376545634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;How the heck R U? Can you tell if you are alive or dead? Did uncle Joe come back to tell you what happened to him passed the door way of his death? When will we realize that nothing really ever dies?! C'mon! Does not the tree in your front yard look dead right about now? Where did the essence of its living go to? Why can't that be the same for the humans? Who warped your beautiful brains into thinking that death is apart from life or life is not present in death?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sounds of infinity boing around in my head so often these days it seems like I'm being prepared for that death journey or a passage of some importance. You wanna know what is happening to me when I shake and have spasmodic episodes, I have tried to tell all of you in one form or another, but I suppose in a culture that every "abnormal" behavior is given a name and drugs are prescribed by the Respected Pill Pusher Doctors, I could be easily labeled and drugged before I have a chance to say what really is happening! It has not been that long that this very society burned people alive for being witches!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is all GOOD, because it is all GOD!  Who amongst you really knows about that state of living? The state of "No otherness"? It has its own sounds, echoes of silence even in crowded rooms that remain constant. I tell you children of love, never you mind because it matters not at all. A tree upon which Alexander the great leaned once, just fell to the little bitty termites! No past, NO future, Only the moment of a breath is what we have children, and the breathing too is not ours to claim, IT IS BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE! That beloved whom I need so disparately for my life, is eagerly awaiting our return home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-8273547582887349117?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/8273547582887349117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=8273547582887349117&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8273547582887349117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8273547582887349117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-happens-when-we-die.html' title='WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R3K6poPN6WI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/q0-yFvJtUkg/s72-c/tao%2520waves.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-3672997823107435344</id><published>2007-12-04T01:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:27.605-07:00</updated><title type='text'>CHOICES OR DESTINIES, WHO CHOOSES?

Human's heart shall not know true rest and peace, except through daily connection to THE SOURCE OF ALL MOTION( Ela beh zekr-ellah tatme-enalgholoob)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;foR most of us even imagining that all IS GOD, is like asking us to trust the waters and step on the ocean surface solely based on TRUST! How often has any of us seen that happen in real life? What then, what then is this total surrender to THE SOURCE, and acceptance of ALL, that the wise men of the past have  presented to us as the only way to pure happiness? Ponder this awhile my children, make this the subject of your nightly meditations. Let the question, take you to the answer that is already within your very own beingness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-2295774000934699964?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/2295774000934699964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=2295774000934699964&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2295774000934699964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2295774000934699964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/11/salaampeace-children-this-week-i-feel.html' title='MY WAY IS NOT YOUR WAY, MY RELIGION IS NOT YOUR RELIGION, I TOO A M WAITING , AS YOU ARE WAITING !'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/R00oJsMTD0I/AAAAAAAAAJA/yv_47TsRp2Y/s72-c/Nirvana.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-5046461652263822237</id><published>2007-11-14T01:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:27.972-07:00</updated><title type='text'>TSUNAMI OF OUR LIVES</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rzqy3pWBXnI/AAAAAAAAAI4/TQkD0roYYZg/s1600-h/tsunami_sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rzqy3pWBXnI/AAAAAAAAAI4/TQkD0roYYZg/s320/tsunami_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132611394402868850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;Well &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;by now &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;most of you know that I got married on the new moon in September 2007! If you have followed the blogs of this ol' shaman for the past year, it has been a running theme of the forces of change coming, that my life is to be turned upside down and too, that I shall have my mate by November07. It has all come to pass now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you suppose all this could have been shown to me a year in advance? Did I create all the changes which like a Tsunami are now tearing down all the old stuff of my life, and not even giving any glimpse of what is to come beyond a day? A DAY AFTER ALL, IS NOT A LIFE TIME, IT IS ONLY A DAY ! Yet why do we seem to require more of yesterdays or tomorrows to feel like we "live here"? Spending more time in our heads going over what was or is to be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beautiful part of this Tsunami like wave of changes (which by the way has also effected many, many, who are connected to my life) is that we are thrown clear off of our seemingly happy "comfort zones".Just like the Tsunami in the physical world, so too this enormous change has brought with it, pain of learning to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;surrrrrrrenderrrrrrr&lt;/span&gt;, because NOTHING CAN STOP THE FORCE ONCE IT IS IN MOTION! Yet and still YOU beautiful instruments of my growth;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This pain if only observed without attachment to the outcome, is like taking out that tooth which has been bugging you for a long, long, long time. A certain knowing comes with this situation, THERE WILL BE COMFORT AND FREEDOM AFTER ACCEPTING THE PAIN(which is really no pain at all, just painful to the EGO!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well children, are we ready? It does not matter, because Tsunamis don't give advance notices and once they come, you can only accept and be at awe,  perhaps learn to flow and surf with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;waves if you are wise!&lt;br /&gt;                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;                                                                                                                               &lt;br /&gt;                                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                                                                                                                                                            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;~~~|||||||||~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-5046461652263822237?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/5046461652263822237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=5046461652263822237&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/5046461652263822237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/5046461652263822237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/11/tsunami-of-our-lives.html' title='TSUNAMI OF OUR LIVES'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rzqy3pWBXnI/AAAAAAAAAI4/TQkD0roYYZg/s72-c/tsunami_sm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-1109361958971777293</id><published>2007-10-29T01:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:28.231-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WORRY NO MORE, NO FEAR EVER AGAIN!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RyWZpE4rU1I/AAAAAAAAAIw/b7LTqcIOpaw/s1600-h/universe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 520px; height: 236px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RyWZpE4rU1I/AAAAAAAAAIw/b7LTqcIOpaw/s320/universe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126672681796326226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children:&lt;br /&gt;For every breath there is surely a life passing!

We have come to believe and live as though it is so, that, solid matter is indeed solid! That what we experience as life on Earth is indeed a relationship between this object and the other. One maybe human and the other anything thing else. Is it so? Have we been sitting so long on this idea that we cannot/dare not question its  validity? Can we not say that now that we know more about how and what "MATTER" is made up of(well, let's say we know about 99% of it, still a good measure!), it is obsolete as the many Gods of the pagan human era, to just go on believing that "This and that stuff of life is as it has been for my forefathers"? Or "I am what I own"? After all Alexander the Great owned half the world, what does he own now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have now demonstrated beyond doubt that what we call "SOLID MATTER" is anything but solid! &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Take notes my beautiful ones&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" ALL MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE, NO MATTER WHAT THE SHAPE, FORM, OR PROPERTIES THEREOF, IS PURE ENERGY MADE UP FROM PARTICLES OF KNOWN AND UNKNOWN SOURCES, COMING INTO FORM AND OUT OF FORM, BECOMING MOTIONS OF ENERGY OR WAVES OF POSSIBILITIES IN A CONSTANT CREATIVE MANNER. THE FORCE OPERATING THIS AMAZING PHENOMENON HAS MANY NAMES AND DESIGNATIONS, DEPENDING ON WHERE A THINKING/AIR BREATHING HUMAN MAY BE GEOGRAPHICALLY LOCATED, AND WE AS CREATIVE BEINGS, HAVE MADE MOST OF IT UP"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes there are &lt;a href="http://www.iloveulove.com/psychology/univlaws.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;preset laws &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;which operate the whole of life, but at its core, life is as ready to take any form as your beautiful minds can believe in! So next time some God blessed M.D. tells you that you have "high blood pressure" or this and that disease by a medical name, stop and realize that even your health is an interconnected part of the FORCE OF LIFE, and KNOW my love that you and your health and your life at large, are what you believe and keep in your head as "&lt;a href="http://law-of-attraction-info.com/universal.html"&gt;THE FACTS&lt;/a&gt;" of your life!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why should the law of physic not work when you touch the fire and burn the tissue? If you have lived a life in neglect of your emotional and physical and spiritual health, is it any wonder that you should experience "DISEASE" ? Yet and still, because the particles of life are so fluid and flexible,   because my beautiful ones, our body can and does regenerate, making new cells all the time, any disharmony, any disease, any abuse, CAN BE REVERSED THROUGH A DISCIPLINED ADHERENCE TO HOW THIS NATURE OF LIFE WORKS AT THE SUB-MOLECULAR LEVELS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May you wake up my beautiful ones, from the dream state of auto-normalcy into a sudden surge of a Tsunami of how great  you indeed are and how able to be and have all that you have longed for! Then have the wisdom to follow up on the disciplined actions needed to keep you awake and connected to that reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-2867098949147012432?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/2867098949147012432/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=2867098949147012432&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2867098949147012432'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2867098949147012432'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/10/if-you-believe-it-is-so-then-it-becomes.html' title='IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS SO, THEN IT BECOMES SO!'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RxUvs2h7wrI/AAAAAAAAAIo/WhaGLlGxO_I/s72-c/7.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-3917035501714676356</id><published>2007-10-05T12:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:28.532-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HARK...!!!!....WHO GOES YONDER MY LOVE?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rw59uGh7wqI/AAAAAAAAAIg/LAD3y3OqbAc/s1600-h/eagle+nebula5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rw59uGh7wqI/AAAAAAAAAIg/LAD3y3OqbAc/s320/eagle+nebula5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120168057347228322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children of Adam;&lt;br /&gt;Who's hand writes the lines, directs the plays of life, brings Tsunami's that wipes all clean?

That which, brings forth the FORCE fields and experiences is all there is.  If "I" get out of the way, "I" just might relax, perchance sleep, rest a while in the vastness of my BELOVED bosoms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But oh my children, go not into the night without the light of wisdom, seek to learn from your own life as well as the lives of all other beings past and present. For who has ever done any great act alone? None!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seek my beautiful children, ways to connect and sit silently with your origin, or not so quietly, maybe in conversation with that SOURCE OF ALL THAT IS. You will be free from the agony of this stressful life which seems to always be full of drama! Tsunami's don't just show up, there is a plan, a design far greater than all of mankind's imaginations put together! Far, far greater indeed my love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-3917035501714676356?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/3917035501714676356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=3917035501714676356&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3917035501714676356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3917035501714676356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/10/harkwho-goes-yonder-my-love.html' title='HARK...!!!!....WHO GOES YONDER MY LOVE?'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rw59uGh7wqI/AAAAAAAAAIg/LAD3y3OqbAc/s72-c/eagle+nebula5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-6285564799769721447</id><published>2007-10-01T12:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:28.797-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I AM NOT THIS BODY</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RwFMjWh7woI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/azX8bxu-Z4o/s1600-h/os2058a.thm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RwFMjWh7woI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/azX8bxu-Z4o/s320/os2058a.thm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116454821896635010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;It has been far too long since we shared. I am not the man you thought you knew, nor is the Quantum way of life going to be what we can always have a handle on. Just when you think you have figured out what it is, the BELOVED shows another facet of the wonderful  ever expanding/creative nature of THE GRAND DESIGN. This old shaman has been greatly humbled in the past 3 weeks, got married for the last time in this lifetime, lost a few precious friends and gained new ones. Yet, yet my children it feels as if I am still being asked to just show up and trust the wave of possibilities turn into particles of reality with or without my "individual" wishes or plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some plans turn to fruitions of wonder and bless, some go by the way side, some turn into nightmares which we did not anticipate or even dreamed possible. I have learned yet deeper again the meaning of "&lt;a href="http://www.advaita.org.uk/discourses/unreal/notbody.htm"&gt;I am not this body"&lt;/a&gt; and all that this phrase holds within its magnificent arrangement. If I am not this body, I am not how it looks, I am not what it dreams up, I am not what it relates to, I am not where it resides, &lt;a href="http://www.wie.org/j22/ashrita.asp"&gt;I AM NOT THIS BODY!&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my beautiful ones, heed this well on your daily journeys, if you have a choice between being right and being kind, always, always choose kind. If you have a choice between goodbye and hello, always choose hello, if you have a choice between letting go and holding on(to things,people,places), always, always let it all go and be free in releasing what your brain assumes it "understands, knows" of how GOD works!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-6285564799769721447?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/6285564799769721447/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=6285564799769721447&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/6285564799769721447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/6285564799769721447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-am-not-this-body.html' title='I AM NOT THIS BODY'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RwFMjWh7woI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/azX8bxu-Z4o/s72-c/os2058a.thm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-1391407251764399435</id><published>2007-09-08T15:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:29.064-07:00</updated><title type='text'>VOICES, SHAKERS, BRAIN FREEZERS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RuM1ufEphJI/AAAAAAAAAII/U7V9yr3Ta3M/s1600-h/sandChrist.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 105px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RuM1ufEphJI/AAAAAAAAAII/U7V9yr3Ta3M/s320/sandChrist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107985475099526290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;Ever wonder whose voice is in your head? Consider this my love, we live in our head almost 100% of the time. I put this percentage on it just so you know how much it really is, even though the actual figure maybe a hair less than that. Living, manifesting, being always in our head tangled up with thoughts of what will be or was, in reality my children we are completely ASLEEP to the HERE AND NOW OF OUR LIVES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact if you consider this in some loosely awakened time, you may even catch your self wondering in some elsewhere places in your mind even as you are seemingly busy doing other things. Where are you? I mean where do you suppose the real essence of your being is? It certainly is not where your physical body happens to BE, is it? Not if you are elsewhere in your mind !WHEREVER YOU ARE, IF IT IS NOT HERE AND NOW, YOU ARE ASLEEP! &lt;a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcjcx2xc_189wcnpv"&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this reason most masters and teachers have left us tools to keep the wondering mind awakened to the moment. These are "shakers", Stuff that shake us loose from the wondering mind which is in some tomorrow or yesterday, and connect us to the present. Walking is a good shaker, so is dancing, twirling, singing, loving, cooking a meal with the family or friends, trying to be patient with a &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;non-conforming&lt;/span&gt; adolescent or teenager, being totally immersed in art-work, watching a candle flicker and dance,  staying calm while some dear one lets out their anger or frustration, How about the death of a loved one? Any moment really, rich in life's here and nowness ...................This is a long list!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The voices we have inside, telling us to do this or that, judging right or wrong(ness) of actions, repeating a song or yelling in silence, what beauty! What beauty! if we would be awake enough to hear the voice of the BELOVED in all the noise! You know the one that seems the most tender and loving and not loud at all!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cry me a river my child, our union is soon coming, our day is indeed close at hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-1391407251764399435?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/1391407251764399435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=1391407251764399435&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/1391407251764399435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/1391407251764399435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/09/voices-shakers-brain-freezers.html' title='VOICES, SHAKERS, BRAIN FREEZERS'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RuM1ufEphJI/AAAAAAAAAII/U7V9yr3Ta3M/s72-c/sandChrist.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-1580863139410397484</id><published>2007-09-05T00:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:29.488-07:00</updated><title type='text'>NEW SCIENCES FOR THE NEW CENTURY</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rt5l1fEphHI/AAAAAAAAAH4/YT_1p2ClpyQ/s1600-h/holding+the+SUN.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rt5l1fEphHI/AAAAAAAAAH4/YT_1p2ClpyQ/s320/holding+the+SUN.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106630997033190514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;We must delete the need to understand if we are to ever be truly free from suffering. I am of course referring to spiritual matters and life in general. After all look at what our attempts at understanding life through science has done! We may have learned a few things about mechanics of this or that object, but got stock in the process with the notion that matter and energy only flow in a bidirectional way! Nothing could be further away from the actual real science of it all. This Newtonian science had its place, but we need to move on children!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the process of "trying" to understand how things work and how we can make machines and chemicals to mingle and interact with the NATURAL WORLD, we lost sight of our origin all together and became slaves to the machines and the chemicals we thought we were creating to make things easier or better. The old paradigms all have to be abandoned and before it is too late we must wake up to the reality that LIFE IS NOT UNDER ANY CONTROL SWITCH WE CAN UNDERSTAND OR MANIPULATE WITHOUT PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. And yet, everything in the whole universe says that we are the co-creators of life if we first learn to surrender our will to the will of THE ONE WHO STARTED LIFE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless &lt;a href="http://brucelipton.com/"&gt;Dr. Bruce Lipton&lt;/a&gt; for his work in cellular biology, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that, neither DNA, nor genes control life. Click on his name above, go buy/copy/borrow his DVD called "Biology of belief" and learn a bit more about the secret of life's forces! And while you're at it, get &lt;a href="http://www.tillerfoundation.com/"&gt;Dr. William Tiller's work on some real science done in magic of "entanglement".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-1580863139410397484?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/1580863139410397484/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=1580863139410397484&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/1580863139410397484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/1580863139410397484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-sciences-for-new-century.html' title='NEW SCIENCES FOR THE NEW CENTURY'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rt5l1fEphHI/AAAAAAAAAH4/YT_1p2ClpyQ/s72-c/holding+the+SUN.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-7076282145636047923</id><published>2007-08-29T13:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:29.856-07:00</updated><title type='text'>NOTHING IS EVER AS IT SEEMS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;It is in surrendering that we gain freedom&lt;/span&gt;" I bet you've heard that in more than one way from a few wisdom filled humans and in the good books around.Well, here is a few more: (&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;like the willow tree, I'll learn how to bend with the winds of changes without resistance, and be free from pain and grief!&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RtXvqPEphGI/AAAAAAAAAHw/F1iDaJmcw28/s1600-h/ROOTS+CANADA306.JPG"&gt;                                                                                                                                                           &lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 325px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RtXvqPEphGI/AAAAAAAAAHw/F1iDaJmcw28/s320/ROOTS+CANADA306.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104249261573899362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RtXvqPEphGI/AAAAAAAAAHw/F1iDaJmcw28/s1600-h/ROOTS+CANADA306.JPG"&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(look how from a dead tree, rises a new life!)

Yet and still, without discipline of some daily patterns of activities geared to producing desired states in higher consciousness, we are lost in the MAYA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every thing we do happens in patterns. The man comes home after a hard days work goes the story, has his 6 pack(name your poison) chilled ahead of time, dinner is ready and the routine patterns sit in motion. Repeated daily, most of our patterns are to keep a sense of who we are, a cultural agenda, pride in traditions, pleasures gained, or habitual selves satisfied, and time passed in total unawareness of the TAO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total surrender to the TAO(the WAY things are with or without our attention) however, provides a way for anyone to connect to that SOURCE of all things without having to call it a religion. If in any small way we change a link in any of our daily patterns of behavior we would increase AWARENESS exponentially.  This way is called the Bakhti Yoga in the Hindu lifestyles.  To offer the fruit of every action regardless of the emotions or judgments attached to its virtues, to THE SOURCE. Simple, consistent patterns of surrender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately it is good to accept that what can have the notion of "being" attached to its life force, is NOT WITHOUT THE SOURCE. SO, "I THINK THEREFORE I AM", BECOMES A DEEPLY SAD JOKE ON THE HUMAN RACE. The notion of "I am the body" must be done away with if we are to ever experience continuous serenity in the face of life's seemingly tragic and unfair events.  As long as we hold the idea that "I am the body" we shall continue suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-6390992928094951740?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/6390992928094951740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=6390992928094951740&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/6390992928094951740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/6390992928094951740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/08/salaampeace-children-when-we-get-bogged.html' title='PATTERNS ARE MADE UP OF PARTS(LINKS)'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RtO3S_EphEI/AAAAAAAAAHg/ILISxQt371k/s72-c/body+parts.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-8845534420915460186</id><published>2007-08-11T11:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-17T00:45:06.760-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ERFAAN(the way of inocent wisdom)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rr4p1htsbRI/AAAAAAAAAHY/pQucVUHyxo8/s1600-h/Erfon7-7.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097557827789810962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rr4p1htsbRI/AAAAAAAAAHY/pQucVUHyxo8/s320/Erfon7-7.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153); FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;St.Paul laments in the Bible "Most times no matter how hard I try to do the right thing, I still end up doing the wrong thing". This of course is not an exact quote. Isn't it amazing that this is a common HUMAN experience? With all our good intentions, hard work, diligence and trying we seem to not be able to ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING AT ALL TIMES! Why do you suppose this is? Even the chosen prophets and saints and wisdom filled men and women of God have failed at this attempt to always be "good"! A simple desire becomes an addiction if not tethered with discipline, but a good soul is a good soul even inside an addict! A house of thieves is not Hell on Earth, just a house of thieves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps if we were to listen more carefully to and appreciate deeply, the journeys of those who seem to have found "the way" we can also learn that they all knew to accept all things as gifts from the " SPIRIT" in both dark or light manifestations. I can tell you from my own 40 some odd years of searching for a harmonious way to walk this Earth, that once we accept ONENESS as the only measure of "BEING", the walk becomes a flowing effortless dance, in the light or darkness, there is only ONENESS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my beautiful ones, as you "battle" your demons (or whatever you wanna call the dark side or short comings of all humans), as you show up for life daily with either hope or despair. Remember this one my love, BEING HUMAN IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY WHICH, EVEN THE ANGELS COULD NOT HANDLE! TRUST THE DESIGNER AND THE DESIGN AND "KNOW" THAT WHATEVER YOUR INTENTIONS, SO WILL YOUR WORLD BE AROUND YOU! Let your intentions then be in-line with your deeds and words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Momentary lapses do not make up for life times, "that towards which you journey, you shall reach"! JUST KEEP WALKING, SEEKING, AND LOOKING WITH DISCIPLINE OF A DAILY ADHERENCE TO WHAT BRINGS HARMONIOUS RESULTS, AS BEST AS YOU CAN, AS EARNESTLY AS YOU MIGHT. When you die my love, you as this personage will be no more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,51,51)"&gt;LET GOD LET GOD LET GOD LET GOD LET GOD LET GOD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-8845534420915460186?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/8845534420915460186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=8845534420915460186&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8845534420915460186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8845534420915460186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/08/erfaanthe-way-of-inocent-wisdom.html' title='ERFAAN(the way of inocent wisdom)'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rr4p1htsbRI/AAAAAAAAAHY/pQucVUHyxo8/s72-c/Erfon7-7.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-7284881629569571566</id><published>2007-07-19T00:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:30.938-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE CHURCH OF KINDNESS (not incorporated)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RqE_ZRZ2-EI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/3a72SR6_wuk/s1600-h/WHITE%2Blight.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 468px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RqE_ZRZ2-EI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/3a72SR6_wuk/s320/WHITE%2Blight.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089418757306513474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salaam(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;Kindness seems to have such a profound effect on any life form that one could easily say: "Yeah man, let's have a church of KINDNESS"!&lt;br /&gt;Is it possible for us to look at all the "WAYS" and "PATHS" without prejudice long enough to see that they all lead to the same center? I want to encourage you my beautiful ones not to get bogged down with details and remember ONENESS is all there is.

Through each hole any person may look inside this not so well lit room and gaze upon an object in the center of the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on which peak hole one gets to look inside from, one will see only as much as the angle of the sight would allow. Imagine now my beautiful ones that the object inside is an elephant, many will see only a dark ripply surface(this elephant is by the way silent at all times) that might even look hard and solid as stone. A very few may even get to see the tusk, which then they would report as the whole object being a white bone like maybe even moving thing.&lt;br /&gt;A very, very few still, may happen upon the eye of the elephant and report something like an eye but not so sure as the room is dark, so it could be a hole in a large object that is shiny and glass like, round but not perfectly so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you suppose my good ones that any single one will ever know that there is only one large animal called an elephant in that room? Some may even say there is a wall inside, as they only see a dark side of the elephant that appears as solid through that peak hole. Those who can only see the white tusk, will not accept a solid wall under any circumstance. The only way into the room is a unified acceptance by all viewers which, may then be presented to the owner of the room upon which time many can enter and see the WHOLE TRUTH of that which they only could see a very small part of. But alas they must first let go of the belief (and the income from their daily reports),that their view since it matches with many(who see a solid wall), must be the "RIGHT" one! Why risk the income? The others can say what they want, we value our belief and are happy with the income!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your religion, way of life, pathway, is not bringing you contentment, and inner peace, then my love, it is the wrong religion, the wrong way of life, the wrong path for you. HEAVEN MY CHILDREN IS WHERE THERE IS NO MORE PAIN, NO WORRIES, NO WARS, NO HUNGER, NO FEAR! Find your heaven my children here, before death comes to your door. There are many points upon a circle from which one can draw a straight line to the center, there is only ONE CENTER TO THE CIRCLE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-8247074586078299137?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/8247074586078299137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=8247074586078299137&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8247074586078299137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8247074586078299137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/07/salaampeace-children-imagine-if-you.html' title='THE JOURNEY FROM THE EDGE TO THE CENTER'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Ro37F8AasaI/AAAAAAAAAGo/2Ajorz_G3kk/s72-c/circle+points.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-435610985669814771</id><published>2007-06-28T23:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-28T23:55:39.471-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ONENESS CALLS, WHO WILL HEED THE CALL?</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;salam janam;&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;the ways&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 for the dog).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 beloved Rumi tongue said "THE CURE TO EVERY PAIN IS IN THE PAIN ITSELF", I fell ill and did not get up for 2 days. My daughter could not believe it, nor could the grand kids, "WHAT? " they said, "babajune never gets sick, he helps sick people!". It has been a full menu for a seeker of LOVE! I am well because of LOVE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where will we go from here? How will we know? And my beautiful friend, all that comes back as an answer is "come, come, be silent with &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;the force&lt;/span&gt; , and let GOD be your only thought &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;as often as you can,&lt;/span&gt; for the hour is near(what is near? a decade? 3 centuries? What does that matter to a true seeker), nothing else, no other matter is relevant to the story's end now! Not a single THING!!" i want to cry, no shout out, NO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;no:no:no&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;!! I have concerns in the human form, my dreams, my work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;BUT ONENESS IS, ALL THAT IS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/no:no:no&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The dead, the living, all the religions, all the belief systems of nations, the fighting, the loving, the getting jerked over by some technician in Ohio, the flood that just took 30 mobile homes in the poor town just down the road in Texas(none of whom had flood insurance), and the Iraqi's who have light only 4 hours a day. The Muslim who kills another Muslim, The oppressed and the oppressor, the rape of the planet, the greed of the corporate human form, the river that runs obediently, the seven layers of heavens, Zero point field, the holy men of Tibet, and the hopeless men in the Middle East, All is ONENESS, and I find myself looking at the hands of GOD making a mate for himself out of this mess we call our humanity! Where are you my children in your hour of sleepfullness?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is any of us really awake? Is any body listening to the voice of GOD crying? Is God not the loneliest father/mother waiting for the kids to remember the family? What do we know of pain as the rain keeps pouring and the dead feel no more? No wonder it takes a few billion to make a hand full of pure ones! What does the engineer care if the mold must be broken a million more times?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be well my love, be forever with the light and seek no more than that.

What do you do my children to quiet your churning minds?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Namaste'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;           &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(I bow to the place within you that is GOD) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RmcnVAabpEI/AAAAAAAAAGI/sbXr3QcwosU/s1600-h/ta%27azeem.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RmcnVAabpEI/AAAAAAAAAGI/sbXr3QcwosU/s320/ta%27azeem.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073066747097752642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-141600982709659513?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/141600982709659513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=141600982709659513&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/141600982709659513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/141600982709659513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/06/quiet-my-mind.html' title='QUIET MY MIND!'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RmcnVAabpEI/AAAAAAAAAGI/sbXr3QcwosU/s72-c/ta%27azeem.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-425320229226873497</id><published>2007-05-29T11:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:31.940-07:00</updated><title type='text'>EULOGY TO A GOOD MAN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rl9wHvTvGsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/3IMzfdN69JM/s1600-h/meReece.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rl9wHvTvGsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/3IMzfdN69JM/s320/meReece.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070894983703108290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sala'm(peace) children;&lt;br /&gt;How have you been holding up my beautiful ones?

The event is still fresh in the family's minds and hearts. How does one accept the sudden death of a dear one?!!?? What role can any one family member play in the others' lives as all are shifting to adjust? Does one then think more of the soldiers and Innocent civilians being murdered daily world wide? Of how their families are doing emotionally and spiritually? How does one accept deaths that seem so senseless in every way??!!??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell you my wonderful ones, NO ONE HAS A GOOD ANSWER! Specially those who claim to understand and justify wars, not those who run church and holy shrine businesses, or those of us who claim spiritual strength in awareness!  In my own humble way my good ones, all I can do is show you how I deal with anything.See me live, see me walk, hear me talk, and then choose your own paths! If your path must contain a Heaven and Hell idea in it, and this man you knew (GOD rest your soul my brother Reece!) cannot be in your idea of  heaven, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;then I too do not wish to have your Heaven!!&lt;/span&gt; The goodness of this man without any pretense to religiosity deserves a heaven higher than any religious belief can offer!~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the pain is real! So why deny yourself a good cry? Why not talk to this GOD the Creator in whatever language you can? Cuss, fuss, yell out obscenities from the top of your lungs into the void? Why not? One thing is for certain in my own experiences, you will feel better! Better in the sense that acceptance becomes easier and compassion grows as you see how helpless we all are in our skins, yet how the course of any given day depends so deeply upon our perceptions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namaste' (I bow to the place within you that is GOD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-425320229226873497?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/425320229226873497/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=425320229226873497&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/425320229226873497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/425320229226873497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/05/eulogy-to-good-man.html' title='EULOGY TO A GOOD MAN'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rl9wHvTvGsI/AAAAAAAAAF4/3IMzfdN69JM/s72-c/meReece.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-5050231570303552457</id><published>2007-05-19T12:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:32.147-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ii WATER EMBRIOS AFLOAT !!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rk9iW_TvGqI/AAAAAAAAAFo/J7GJ6fYH2GU/s1600-h/CNXT0058.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rk9iW_TvGqI/AAAAAAAAAFo/J7GJ6fYH2GU/s320/CNXT0058.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5066376252905953954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We seem to think that we are the only living beings/systems capable of making love on a higher level.

In some species in fact the female chooses solely based on her partners ability to show marks of superiority in one form or another, in yet others the male dies afterwards!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday the river did speak to me of love, having offsprings,  and procreation. "What love grander than when the Sun shines on me taking the molecules of my being-ness to the Ether as the wind moves them ever higher and more distant. I know I have given my seeds to the Ether, where they would be gathered in cloud form and when the time is right electrical forces give them life, sending them back to my bosom."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What love greater has the human? How is my relationship with the Ether any less significant, than that between two humans? I am a piece of the divine, alive as you humans, I breathe, I move, I consume, I have travelled the Earth from atop high mountains to the grand mother ocean! I live-on in my offsprings who gather their strength from the Ether and return to my bosom for a rejuvenation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;!VIVA LOS RIOS!

Whatever else you may or may not believe, rest assured love,that a Cancer healing plant(amongst its other properties) that has been around forever(You see, The mighty Chaparral never dies; Winter freeze, heat of any Summer, droughts, you name this guy has been through it for millions of years),  has so much to say about life on Earth! I have used its properties for earaches very succesfully in a tincture form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who know me personally, you know that I speak the plants language. Not only have I gone to school for the knowledge, but I have also been blessed, having used many of my own herbal formulas for healing with 100% positive results! After 19 years of research and work I can speak with certain authority and experience. But the mighty Chaparral is pure wisdom!(A note of importance, please disregard the FDA and any other fools ideas that this plant is inherently harmful, they have no clue! Even honey is harmful in excess.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live in what is known to the native Mexican and American Indians as the Chaparral Country. The area is desert in nature and water is scarce. Certain plants indigenous to this land can and know how to survive and be strong in numbers too! In &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnobotany"&gt;Ethnobotany&lt;/a&gt; we learn that plants native to the patients' environment are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergistic"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;synergistically&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; connected to all the elements which can enhance healthy living for the humans living within the same environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the first lesson of the mighty Chaparral:&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;TO BE, AUGHT NOT TO BE A CHORE!&lt;/span&gt;" Being is a process that is a continuation of the original causational movements of energy. What then do I have to do to simply BE? Nothing, is the answer. Nothing except learn how to be present! The first Cue Ball that rolls on a billiard table determines where every other ball is going to be placed on the table. Tell me my children if you can see the force source of that first strike? Don't hurt yourself my love, we cannot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet and still, the lesson today is &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;TO BE, AUGHT NOT TO BE A PAINFUL CHORE OR A BURDENSOME ACT. THE RIVERS ALWAYS FLOW, WE ARE THE ONES WHO GET STUCK! &lt;/span&gt;Stuck on ideals, realities, assumptions, judgemental value systems, cultural heritage, religious guilt complexes, societal and hierarchical status, wants and desires that never seem to be fully satisfied, and what is wrong with hard work or a little challenge like raising a teenager? They'll grow up trust me and follow what you did not what you said!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NAMASTE' MY BELOVED ONES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-2049103170012143501?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2049103170012143501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2049103170012143501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/04/chaparralteaches.html' title='CHAPARRAL  TEACHES'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rh_4uo3FnLI/AAAAAAAAAE4/ig2zFNNNsa0/s72-c/CHAPARRAL.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-694638136224575845</id><published>2007-04-03T11:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:34.033-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THEER IS ALWAYS THE PRACTICAL SIDE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rg1ZJ5gbOzI/AAAAAAAAAEo/KjEO0mqtPkc/s1600-h/image001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rg1ZJ5gbOzI/AAAAAAAAAEo/KjEO0mqtPkc/s320/image001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047788783942712114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Where do we go from here? Have we learned enough to know that there is always the matter of practicalities? Are we going to continue tooting the horn of Christ and Buddha and Mohammad and Moses without taking responsibility for our daily actions affecting the direction of the ENTANGLED HUMAN RACE'S BEING?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My beloved, if we are to make a difference we must be different from what we were yesterday. Welcome the pain, the shame, the guilt, the heartaches, the storms of inequities that seem to come and sweep all your hopes and dreams. Welcome them all as dear guests, if your house gets emptied it is perhaps to make room for the newer and better stuff of life to enter. All forces are present in our lives in order for us to surrender(Tasleem) to the presence of the DIVINE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the seeker it is best to seek and be more in silence my children. When the rooster sings at one in the morning, it is not calling its mate, it is the sound of the invitation from the beloved calling you home. And at dawn again the rooster sings saying a new day is here, the beloved still calling us home!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether in war or peace, whether in pain or joyful times, no matter how the mind perceives its world, the daily practicalities remain the same. To reap a harvest of sweet grapes, I must tend the garden daily after sowing the seeds. Good seeds too, die of  malnourishment and  all is  left  is the same  dirt with you standing by saying  "Why do I not have the sweet wine my brother had"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-694638136224575845?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/694638136224575845/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=694638136224575845&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/694638136224575845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/694638136224575845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/03/theer-is-always-practical-side.html' title='THEER IS ALWAYS THE PRACTICAL SIDE!'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rg1ZJ5gbOzI/AAAAAAAAAEo/KjEO0mqtPkc/s72-c/image001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-116226678203228679</id><published>2007-03-30T11:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:34.048-07:00</updated><title type='text'>LOVE COMES IF I SEEK IT</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rg1fIpgbO0I/AAAAAAAAAEw/jGa_6y3HNI4/s1600-h/Mz3+The+Ant+Nebula.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rg1fIpgbO0I/AAAAAAAAAEw/jGa_6y3HNI4/s320/Mz3+The+Ant+Nebula.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047795359537642306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How would you recognize your true love standing right before you at your door steps? Would you agree that in order to "see" we need to have "eyes"? Can the eyes of one murky inside from many events in the past "see" through the clutter of self's own created images(almost all of which are  false images )? BE, before becoming love!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What then is one to do in order not to  miss out on the LOVE OFFERED SO FREELY? What preparations, what intentions and attentions are required for such vision? If I say I am ready now to settle down and have my "mate" for the rest of this physical life, and..give as best as I can a description of how hish(he/she) would be (appearance,disposition,spirit..) to the universal order processing center(hahahahaha); Will hish(he/she) come in exact measure of my request or timing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is without a doubt my children that as you PURIFY the vehicle of body/mind/spirit, all your desires are fulfilled without an exception. BUT.. oh yes there is this big BUT, the manifestation of such matters is in direct correlation with your readiness, intentions, and purity. What is purity  without  clarity?  What is clarity  without  purity of the blood  from toxins?  A  healthy mind  is  a healthy body is a healthy spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it is not our expectations which will come true, but the true nature of that  which we really intended and felt deep inside. To have love standing at your door and you looking at the shell saying "but this is not what I wanted" is when you'll know my love that your true intent did not include the shape of the love to come. We give far too much credit to our senses for knowing what we need. We see a mate with money as the one we were looking for and the great spirit sends the one who cares nothing for the wealth of the world! Yet we insist on running the water through the colander.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where will &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt; go my children, &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;I AM &lt;/span&gt;OMNIPRESENT IN ALL FORMS!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-116226678203228679?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/116226678203228679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=116226678203228679&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/116226678203228679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/116226678203228679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/10/love-comes-if-i-seek-it.html' title='LOVE COMES IF I SEEK IT'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/Rg1fIpgbO0I/AAAAAAAAAEw/jGa_6y3HNI4/s72-c/Mz3+The+Ant+Nebula.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-4998132009384138366</id><published>2007-03-24T17:23:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-03-24T17:23:13.779-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MESSAGES FROM HUBBLE IN SPACE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div &gt; Greetings;&lt;br/&gt;just a quick way of adding contents to this blog.

I hesitated after the smile before the tears ran down my cheeks thinking of the dark thought which the river saw as an eternal moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know when I made it home this day, or who kept the memory of it all, but here it is a sharing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-8803826556784613257?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/8803826556784613257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=8803826556784613257&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8803826556784613257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/8803826556784613257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/03/spirit-child-in-garden.html' title='SPIRIT CHILD IN THE GARDEN'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RgRX1CIZBiI/AAAAAAAAAEc/J9vF3FSPx40/s72-c/FORCES.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-6438779791805610543</id><published>2007-03-16T13:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:34.426-07:00</updated><title type='text'>IN SILENCE(chinmoku)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RfsA-PXBzbI/AAAAAAAAAEU/xbetCHw4TXs/s1600-h/SILENCE-chinmoku.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 220px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RfsA-PXBzbI/AAAAAAAAAEU/xbetCHw4TXs/s320/SILENCE-chinmoku.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5042625277046410674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sala'm(peace)children;&lt;br /&gt;Learn my beautiful ones to be in silence more, both inwardly and on the outside.

The only free will we have is to decide whether we continue with acts that hinder our inner growth and wisdom or enhance it. He of course said it this way: "The only decision you have to make in life is whether you live in a hostile or friendly universe"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day I have a fresh start at this free will, either I do things, think things, and say things which evolve me to a better human or I continue with the old habitual stuff of my conditioned self. One cannot build a new home unless the old one is destroyed first. Christ never mentioned Hell! He did however, mentioned LOVE AND DYING UNTO YOUR OLD SELF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you find your self caught at a cross road, to one of which you'd say to your self "I'd rather die than do this thing" Then do that thing, because therein lies your growth!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Daily bread is not made of flour my love!

Now we have the age of all information available at the click of a button or turn of Chanel on some few hundred media dispensers. So in this environment, when the doctor so and so declares the new understanding of &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Quantum field&lt;/span&gt; or "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;the secret&lt;/span&gt;" to all life kinda stuff, confusion is easily apparent. (Thank you Dr. Dyer for your humble work!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One good example I have meant to mention is consideration for the lack of discernment in the average uneducated "wanna be's" about such things as the absolute zero point field or the absolute zero energy. Furthermore the poor sucker is left to believe that we created and can continue creating stuff without the mention of such&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; absolute&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;realities&lt;/span&gt; as the presence of the Sun! Did one of us or our ancestors create the Sun which sustains life on our planet( itself is a phenomenon we had no hand or head in the creation of)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes I can create "my reality", but I must first know of the "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;absoluteness of such factors as the forces governing my universe&lt;/span&gt;" in addition to knowing how to use my little head that extends as far as infinity(which by the way is not so far). I need to have a greater appreciation first and foremost for the "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;AUTHOR OF THE CODE&lt;/span&gt;" from which all other seeming realities must and do take their beingness! IF THE MASTER DESIGNER SHOULD LOOK AWAY BUT FOR AN INSTANT, ALL CREATION SHALL CEASE TO EXIT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what words can we use to describe or address that "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;MASTER DESIGNER&lt;/span&gt;" , that "&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;ORIGINAL CAUSE&lt;/span&gt;" of all life? What is my relationship to that source besides using it to create my reality? Does it even matter what "I" do or not do when it comes to that SOURCE'S intent for the creation we are so intertwined with? What is this notion of a Ramtha(J.Z. knight) or any other new age school of thought pushing the idea that "we are all gods"? Get over your self love, if you had a clue you would not utter such foolishness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the heck does that mean except that I have a level of control over my daily stuff? Then why use the word god(with all its connotations in the human experiences)? This loosely spread data is like giving my 5 year old child materials on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;detailed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; sexual  intercourse  knowing he does not have the discernment nor the faculty to  absorb or use the information. Using this word god or God like some loose change, in this man's humble opinion has created more confusion than these teachers(GOD bless them all) realize!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;" &gt;Forget me not says GOD the "CREATOR" and think not that I am knowable! I am all that there is yet you cannot know this. &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;I am all that exists yet I am not in existence! &lt;/span&gt;I am the Alpha and the Omega yet not so finite as these terms suggest!

Yet others put God in a separate place up high somewhere beyond the scope of any life form here to grasp. Our relationship then with this God whom almost all agree on being the "INTELEGENT CAUSE" depends on our perception(and why the word GOD? let's say Field instead)! I say children, what do you care? What is it to you whether God is up high, down below, merciful or revengeful? You still have to walk the walk of this life force which is within you and forces the issue of LIVING LIFE EVEN UNTO DEATH! Don't believe me? Just try to stop breathing!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look my beloved, let God be, let religion be, let it all be, you just show up daily &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;trusting &lt;/span&gt;that the plan for such AWESOMELY great event of which you are a part of can and seems to have its own &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;flow&lt;/span&gt; and force of movement in a &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;definite direction.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;TO BE &lt;/span&gt;MY LOVE, AUGHT NOT TO BE A CHORE. JUST BE HERE AND ALLOW THIS FORCE TO CARRY YOU. Chop your wood and fetch your water, tend the garden my love and above all let it all be. Let your lover's addiction be, let your own insecure self be, let the wars and the achievements of all ages be, no judgement is needed JUST TO BE! Let the force of that FIELD carry you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe we don't see that there is no need for always getting, achieving, surpassing, doing better or doing more. Maybe we need to learn to stop all the hoopla about getting somewhere and rest a while in what is! There is a great need for our humanity to let go of all the old paradigms now! That includes the notion of any GOD who is counting on humans to behave based on fear or rewards! This notion of God after all is only 3-5 thousand years old!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is indeed when we judge a thing as having good or evil(or not enough) qualities; As separate parts in separated forms that we are disconnected from JUST SIMPLY BEING IN THE &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;FLOW&lt;/span&gt;!  All our sufferings are the very product of our perceptive judgements/attachments. Have discernment my love, but don't hang on to judgments and don't attach to outcomes. ALL IS WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT, IT JUST IS!

Above is a picture(Miniature art work by master Hosain Behzaad) scanned from the book "The Third Script" a life work of Dr. Saheb-Zama'ni on and about Shams-e-Tabriz. Shams(as he is best known) was Rumi's guru/teacher. All the works of Rumi which are now so in demand and style in the west, were created after Rumi met shams some 800 or so years ago! There would be no Masnavi of Rumi were it not for Shams coming into his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in the process of translating a selection of the book "The Third Script" and God willing have it published within the year. Shams never wrote anything, in fact he was hard to keep up with, as his presence was never known to most unaware souls. He could simply disappear in a flash. In most cases he would intentionally stay incognito, work as a common laborer and yet dress as a rich merchant. His comings and goings were only more apparent and obvious after meeting up with Rumi in Qunieh, Turkey. Rumi at the time was considered the most learned "shaikh" of Qunieh and had many followers. Keep these in mind as you wait for the book my beautiful children. I leave you with a quote from the book and the reason for its name(this is Shams speaking):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That scribe wrote in three scripts. One only he would read and none other. The second type he wrote, both himself and all others would read. A "third script" he wrote which, neither he, nor any other would read. I am that third script!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-9038904297688190390?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/9038904297688190390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=9038904297688190390&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/9038904297688190390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/9038904297688190390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/02/my-time-master-shams.html' title='MY TIME MASTER &quot;SHAMS&quot;'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RcfvGlI0x8I/AAAAAAAAADQ/2gQbYvfeWaQ/s72-c/SHAMS4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-2115072426992309639</id><published>2007-02-02T12:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:36.195-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RcOOg1I0x7I/AAAAAAAAADA/v73RLR9bCzs/s1600-h/serious.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 177px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RcOOg1I0x7I/AAAAAAAAADA/v73RLR9bCzs/s320/serious.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027018303746656178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RcOMVVI0x6I/AAAAAAAAAC4/uPoUYxBUNbk/s1600-h/face.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 184px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RcOMVVI0x6I/AAAAAAAAAC4/uPoUYxBUNbk/s320/face.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027015907154904994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;You&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; know of his heart and yet the man offends you with words!

Assume human to be one Hydrogen unit, let the other H be for all other life forms, let the O(xygen) be for the whole of the universe as we know it. Deeper still at sub-molecular level, let each force and particle which hold and govern the molecular structure be the invisible world(and it is a world unto itself I assure you!) We are still looking for GOD! Or at least a glimpse at our origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is more yet of the Invisible matter (the Dark Matter), both in the invisible world and the visible which, is very nearly impossible to measure. We don't yet know what it is(it has no mass, no color), but we can say with certainty that there is an invisible matter even inside a vacuum(NO SUCH THING AS AN EMPTY SPACE)! Dark Matter permeates, holds together, all matter and non-matter in the universe. Let this Invisible Matter be GOD's intent which holds together the very fabric/string of life within and without.&lt;br /&gt; ~~~~~~~~~~~~      Intended here, all is!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you wish to know GOD, having come to know the Intent of GOD.

A graceful time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have a preconceived notion that the choices we make(are making, have made, will make) are indeed "conscious" choices. This belief my beloved has at its core a misconcept or assumption that we know what making a conscious choice is. What is this consciousness about which we speak? Is there an "observer" linked to this consciousness?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does it mean, to be conscious at the level of our desired state for optimum advantage of our time spent here on the small planet Earth? What does it mean when I consciously choose to think, say, and act in a given way? Does it mean that I am conscious of my essence, what I am made of? Or does it mean that I am able to take into consideration the reverberating results of my thoughts, word, and actions? How often can I truly say that I acted consiously rather than reacted habitually?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at our world and the human conditions it seems hard to conceive of a species making "conscious choices" to bring about the current results! Is WAR a conscious choice? Is poverty? How about use of substances that &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;alter our very states of awareness?&lt;/span&gt; The elders say we had a ceremony, young ones say we see a way of getting high and release of pressures. So using "it" daily is OK? How is that working for you? How conscious is the one using prescribed harmful drugs? How aware is anyone of the instant reverberations of his/her thoughts, words, actions? Does the Bee know the true state of a flower?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take for example our "conscious" choice in allowing an event, a person, or a thing to become a source of agitation and anxiety. It is like allowing Flys to become so much of a "bother" that we feel hopeless in removing our "conscious" self from the effects. Do we choose to be upset? Do we make a conscious choice to eat, drink, partake in stuff that clearly bring undesirable results? Who then is it that made the "conscious choice" to gorge on that tub of ice cream? As the result of which "we" are suffering a sugar imbalance! Who did the act to which I now say "Oh shit! I wish I hadn't done that" Conscious is as conscious does, in reality my lovely ones, NO ONE IS CONSCIOUS, NOT A SIGN LE ONE! I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;instead &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We have(those who actively seek this life's SOURCE) glimpses of, moments of some level of consciousness which means we get a hint that "This ain't it, what I am and everyone else is busy with, IS NOT CONSCIOUSNESS" and then promptly we are pulled back into the MAYA(the Illusions of real).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much is the image in a mirror conscious of its Source? Even if the mirror was to be a living organism like a calm lake surface!  How consciously aware is that image of me looking right at it? We are images my children of THE SOURCE and cannot be in the "know" for long, because a cup only holds a cup of that ocean, and THE OCEAN has no issues with the cup trying in vain to take it all one cup at a time! It is a beautiful dance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can approach this from a biological/physical angle and perhaps get a better  view, what'ya say? OK then! Our brain(this is where we assume we have consciousness or awareness) processes some 400 billion bits of data per second. We are "aware" of maybe about 20 to 30 thousand of that, most of which, pertain to matters like our body temperature(I am aware of being cold or hot), geographical location, some pressing life daily issues that need our attention and so on. What about the rest? How can I say I am "consciously aware" of my being and all that it entails having this knowledge? Who can? when indeed what we call action is in reality a reaction bounded by myriads of old stored stuff in our psyche, wrapped in the light of firing neurons connected to millions of other data ranging from odors, textures, feelings, visions, and more. All relative to what seems to be today at this moment!! DID I DO THAT???!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, not to get you children all hopeless about who and what you are then, let me add to these sentences one dreamful state of mind. If we show up, clean up our connecting links to THE SOURCE OF LIFE (whatever you believe it to be), I can guarantee that conscious moments will be showing up more often my beautiful ones. As we aspire to be more like our "higher self" who is pure cosciousness, we will manifest more AWARE MOMENTS for all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-2433068897912071606?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/2433068897912071606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=2433068897912071606&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2433068897912071606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/2433068897912071606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/12/conscious-choice.html' title='CONSCIOUS CHOICE?'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RaL5tp94lRI/AAAAAAAAACM/nKnSC-uHKEY/s72-c/8universal+forces.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-6194436841449002661</id><published>2007-01-04T12:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:37.702-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RZ1a9j-I5hI/AAAAAAAAACA/w03_w57m2lw/s1600-h/dovec.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RZ1a9j-I5hI/AAAAAAAAACA/w03_w57m2lw/s320/dovec.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016265573634991634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SALA'M(PEACE) children! A new day, A new year, a new toy, is anything really new? Have we the eyes and the ears to see and hear ANEW? If I still have the same colored glass eye piece, will I see a new year because the date on my calendar changed? Until the old self dies, the new self is not born (even then the poor thing has to grow up in a naturally hostile environment!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A tree grows  visibly every year, and it gains a new ring physically. The nature of the tree however is to give oxygen and clean the air among other things. The NATURE of the tree remains exact, but it is not the same tree as it was a year ago. So to find a constant in his/her life, it is necessary to maintain consistency in intention and purpose of its TRUE NATURE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A tree will never start a forest fire. The nature of the scorpion is to sting when disturbed or stepped on, but a scorpion will never attack a human! It will never kill another scorpion in vengeance. THE NATURE OF MAN IS NOT PHYSICAL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find my true nature it behooves me to be a constant in a sea of variables even in the daily nature of acts performed seemingly as a man of this or that reality. Aspire my child to be like a tree, ever maturing into your elder self, YOUR HIGHER SELF, while serving without attachments. Be AS CONSISTENT AS THE RIVER FLOWING SO THE JOURNEY'S NATURE IS REVEALED TO YOU! Be present with your intention a constant, always spirit-filled accepting all, the good, the bad, the uncertain, even the painful in total grace! Show up my child and receive the gift while you are conscious enough to receive. TUNE UP THE MACHINE, it holds a beloved host and the child's mind!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest is details really!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-6194436841449002661?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/6194436841449002661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=6194436841449002661&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/6194436841449002661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/6194436841449002661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2007/01/salampeace-children-new-day-new-year.html' title=''/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RZ1a9j-I5hI/AAAAAAAAACA/w03_w57m2lw/s72-c/dovec.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-1319881506103121317</id><published>2006-12-29T14:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:38.060-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DISCIPLINE THE BODY TO DRESS YOUR SOUL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RZWNfWIu_BI/AAAAAAAAAB0/a-BK4wqfUWU/s1600-h/perfect+roses.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RZWNfWIu_BI/AAAAAAAAAB0/a-BK4wqfUWU/s320/perfect+roses.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5014069329804590098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;As a genus branches and becomes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;a species, so the unseen reaches here.

Change one habit and grow up a hundred fold in maturity and grace!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This world is but a playground where children pretend to have shops.

My child, learn to discipline the body's never tiring wants and habitual ways, and in doing so, dress your beautiful spirit in robes of light from THE SOURCE!  VOILA! There is peace, serenity, and flow HERE, right NOW, ON EARTH!!

I have a way of testing you my children and it is only to reveal to you what you may not see. If I push your sensitive "buttons" you will not feel malice or angry energy from me, but you will be forced to face why mere words/presence of another can generate resentment, offended attitudes, anxiety, fear, and more? Can you say "Thank you!" I will consider your thought? Then let the occasion be an exercise in acceptance and allowing? THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THE WORLD IS TO CHANGE THE WAY I LOOK AT THE WORLD. Can you stop a war by feeling anger? Let that feeling be your guide to what you need to learn about peacefulness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When interactions with a lover, a friend, a family member, governments, forces, (your self?) leaves you feeling offended, put down, made to feel not equal with, in shameful need of "fixing"(because we all need fixing, but why the shame?), you have to ask  yourself my children, do words/actions  of another  really hold that much power over your emotions? Or is it that the negative process started perhaps when you "chose" to allow lower energies in and stopped an otherwise  engaging  conversation? It is always about you, learning and growing. Because you  felt attacked you fold ?  Your  boundaries were  crossed  by the words spoken?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can say "it is his/her fault I feel this way" my dearest ones, you have already closed the doors of evolving to a more wholesome you! It is the same with say, our life in any given country/environment. If we can say that "it is the government's fault I feel this horrible/poor/unhappy/not free...."  we have again my love, blamed forces outside of ourselves for what we feel inside! How can it be some one else's fault? I am the one choosing to feel this way about the words or actions of another. Is a rose any less of a beautiful thing because it has thorns? Granted thorns are thorny, but do I not see the Rose for the thorns?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LET PEACE AND GRACEFUL PRESENCE BE YOUR UTMOST TREASURE AND AIM IN LIFE MY CHILDREN AND ALLOW GOD TO BRING THAT TO YOU BECAUSE YOU DESIRED IT SO! &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;NO BLAME&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;NO SHAME, NO GUILT, ALWAYS GOD!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-3072586263906272687?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/3072586263906272687/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=3072586263906272687&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3072586263906272687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/3072586263906272687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/12/whose-fault-is-it.html' title='WHOSE FAULT IS IT?'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RYRwJWIu-8I/AAAAAAAAAA8/nWtlNG3EZr4/s72-c/peaceachance.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-5472245677133567440</id><published>2006-12-14T00:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:11:39.164-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PERFUNCTORY WAYS OF THE I-MAGE(2)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RYGtYuA7ikI/AAAAAAAAAAk/7qlGxOiMGd4/s1600-h/wildspirithierophant.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6ud6Cgo1VL8/RYGtYuA7ikI/AAAAAAAAAAk/7qlGxOiMGd4/s320/wildspirithierophant.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5008474900793100866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Remember my wonderful children, the I-MAGE gets the validity of its stuff from you. It presents a scenario, and you by saying yes to that have now made the imaginary situation as real as you wish. the I-MAGE is now feeding and in control. Why must we suffer needlessly if we can avoid it? The tool of chanting I offered in&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/11/perfunctory-ways-of-i-mage.html"&gt;part (1)&lt;/a&gt; of this talk is only one way of avoiding the negative results of allowing the I-MAGE feeding activities. Whatever means works to bring you into an awaken/conscience state of being will work. In some Psychology schools the use of a rubber band on the wrist has been used successfully. You snap the rubber band as hard as you can, causing the brain to release the negative process of the I-MAGE feeding and help in realizing that you were somewhere else indeed. That then and there which, is not here and now, is what we want to avoid. OK? The what ifs, the I wish I could's, the who the heck she thinks she is.......the oh my God all is lost, who is to blame, worry worry worry, blame, shame~~~~We give our consent to be taken down into lower energies when we continue a mental conversation that is negative in nature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often in these kind of talks we are faced with tearing down many years of what we have been taught and brought up with.(&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/11/perfunctory-ways-of-i-mage.html"&gt;read part 1&lt;/a&gt;) We are faced with understanding new ways of thinking, a shift if you were, in the very fabric and essence of our belief systems. One good example is the comment by a friend who said about my previous post on this subject, "Do you mean to tell me that my imaginations are where my problems are, or my religion and honored ways of my parents?" "Yes and no" I replied. First let us not mistake imaginations with this I-MAGE I have been talking about. Even though it is the same basic function of our brains, our imagination in and of itself is not the culprit for our sufferings. Indeed we can fly to many wonderful places using the powers of our imaginations. It is however, when the same part of our information processes cause us to feel "bad" and make us suffer anxiety attacks that the aforementioned I-MAGE is at work within us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find then my love your own way to snap out of these thoughts and be serene. the important thing is to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt; when you are not in the HERE and NOW of your life. To that end, you must learn to meditate/pray/center regularly. That is the kind of preventive medicine if you will which, will not allow the I-MAGE to be strong enough to take over. These activities create more Alpha brain waves, more Serotonin(a good Peptide) and good health for the brain and the body. It is as I have said many times, the ways by which we keep the system tuned up. What calms you down? Music? A brisk walk? Prayer? Find a way my love to maintain a connection to THE SOURCE, incessantly is the way forward!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eating good "live" foods, avoiding sugary, starchy additive laden foods helps as well. Look my love, on many levels we are a machine, and as such we need to learn how to operate this machine at its optimum or suffer the consequences of our neglecting it. The energies of our lives affect even part of us that we normally do not associate with physical life. Worry and anger create the dangerous hormone Cortisol which increase body fat, bad cholesterol, and wrinkles the skin. Increase levels of processed sugar does the same! In nature all is good and helpful, in synthetic foods, nothing is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accepting and learning what can work, is one thing, acting upon that knowledge is entirely another. WALK THE TALK AND TALK THE WALK MY LOVE. God knows it has taken this old man long enough to reach this state. But why suffer needlessly my children? Look around you, how many people do you know who just don't seem happy with their lives for one reason or another? How often do you find yourself in agony over matters in the elsewhere's of your mind? Have you ever made an argument any better by spending the whole night going over it and over it and over it? It is not your natural state my love, it is the I-MAGE in you that must have its food and will find any way it can to have you believe that what it is presenting to you is well worth muddling over, or worry about, or hate and be angry about. Where are you in those moments that you find your self worrying over what is to come tomorrow? YOU ARE IN TOMORROW, DEAD IN THE HERE AND NOW! This I-MAGE does not have your best interest at heart, but is as weak as a mouse when it cannot bring the rest of you into its games and scenarios of mayhem and low energy thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any time you have a thought that includes you and not others, any time you think yourself separate from the rest of life forms and forces, you are under the control of the I-MAGE. Some body pushed a button and you got angry, as justified as you may wish to make this anger out to be, it nonetheless, is a product of the Ego bound I-MAGE! Your anger will not result in peace within you, nor will it help bring understanding about. Why then do you suppose my love, it keeps you occupied so many times? Is it in auto mode or do you have to consent to being angry, offended, hurt, shamed? It starts as a series of thoughts, thoughts become words uttered, these words carry over to actions which, become how you and others perceive you and your character! You want peace and harmony in your life? Watch your every thought before they become words my love!

I did not ask my lungs to breathe! I had nothing to do with my eyes seeing what they see. Yet and still, here it is a force of life flowing which beats my heart, breathes my life in and out of my lungs, and has vision to witness my life. The same force which is in the trees that provide me the oxygen by taking in the same air I breathe! All working together with myriads of other activities which, sustains the life within me and this Earth-sphere on which I temporarily reside. Tell me my beloved children, where is the sustainer's hands? For all our knowledge we have yet to have the wisdom to see THE FORCE within our circle! THE DESIGNER CANNOT BE IGNORED! telling the fish about the ocean that sustains it is not so easy a task for a mere intellectual. LIVE IT!

There seem to be so many "guides, seers, telepathics, readers,....) that its getting harder to tell the real thing from the fake ones. I mean folks are selling "how to find yourself" books and cd's left and right which, is nice in a most basic way. But as I have said before my love, if you have to pay for your inner peace or be coached while paying the money, then I'm afraid you'll stay lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look, if we just undrstand the basics my chidren, the rest is a walk! You know that your entire body stores memories and associations through a network of pathways, chemicals, electrical pulses, brain waves, and neuro activities. So, you are not what you own, know, percieve, or what others say that you are or not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next time someone tells you that you are this or that, or are not this or that, remeber if you can, that when you react with negative thoughts of being offended, hurt, shamed, feeling guilty, or any of these kinds of emotional reactions, you have just been the victim of a process in which your memories along with this person's input brought upon your being a state which, does not really exist! It was made up by that outside "button pusher" and you inside "memories" about that particular subject. You must then be able to (if you consider yourself "AWAKE" or "AWARE" of life's forces) separate the moment from the momory and know that, "EVERY ONE IS YOUR TEACHER"! It is in fact all about learning not about being this or not being the other. BEING AUGHT NOT TO BE A TASK, IT IS SO ONLY TO THE EGO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is with all our life's experiences, encounters, talks, arguements, desires, on and on and on... They are tools of THE MASTER who is the teacher at all times. What sadness or grief offers is only a way of manifesting and exposing joy and comfort! If you get mad at someone who just called you a name or in the middle of a good conversation repeatedly told you what you cannot see or understand, don't cut off the conversation my love, bring your PEACE AND GRACE to the arena and listen without your EGO or memories! Say thank you, be at peace!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell you children, it cannot be any easier than being patient with your cats and dogs or little ones, but it takes being awake first within yourself my beautiful ones. And...I believe I have left plenty of how to's in this last year anyway to help you along if you truly care to become ONE WITH THE SOURCE! Have better self awareness and maintain a flow that is always GRACEFUL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, remember, the "I-MAGE_2) is coming soon enough, it along with the part one holds many good "teachings" and all you have to do is be a good student of life on this old campus!

What fascinates me the most is how much some of us "professionals" assume as exact knowledge. If the pain of feeling like a bad flu virus has hit you, takes you to a place that is needed for your journey to a more serene and harmonious life, then why the added pain of expressing resistance to the events leading to the awakening? Some colleagues in the mental health and "spiritual arena" with all their wonderful insights still remain under the illusion that a substance (no matter what form it takes) or an experience which we have lived with for many years is valid to continue to be, even if its fruits are no more than confusion and dis-synchronicity! When is enough, enough? How will you recognize the ONE who will click on the light within you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I am truly walking the walk of oneness with GOD, The SOURCE, then I cannot accept the part of my psyche that partakes in experiences which, takes the whole of me away from the CENTER! There is balance in the center (that's how I know), there is serenity, there is calmness and above all there is PEACEFUL GRACE! Goodness comes and flows effortlessly, BEING IS NOT A TASK!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my children of these townships! What is it I am babbling on about? Well, nothing really, just writing out of hopefulness of what reveals when I allow! "Trust God always, but tie up your camel even in Mecca" said a wise Mohammad to the fatalist with a lost camel. I trust GOD to provide the seeds and the ground, God trusts that I will act upon the wisdom of planting in season.

About 5 am today as I lay awake in my bed the most beautiful feeling of gratitude hit my heart and held me captive for hours. I am so eternally grateful for my life! I live in an old Mobile home that at best can bring 6-to 7 thousand dollars in the home market. It is a good home, sturdy, clean, every thing works and I even have a wood stove which keeps the place romantically warm! The home is in this working class neighborhood, good hard working folks with all that goes with it. They drink their beers, have the usual weekend loudness, but they are HAPPY! Content with their lives, you hear laughter and kids run around on their bikes and off roads, go to school and always say "hi" to me (the old odd medicine-man with his plants).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also know a family(well, many families) in the nicer part of our world (Sedona,AZ.). A mother, a daughter, a somewhat slow witted son and an old aunt who live in this million dollar home! The home is always dimly lit, hardly alive and filled with all manners of expensive antiques and STUFF! I have known them for as long as I have been here in our little "low income neighborhood) and very rarely have I witnessed true joy in their faces or felt their contentment with their lives. All their money and expensive possessions don't seem to be enough for happiness! Illness seems to show up in their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am filled with this infinite feeling of gratitude for my life, my good neighbors who helped me move a big shed and never lost the smiles on their wonderful faces! I am grateful too for my health and the wisdom granted me to keep it. &lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://shaman19.com/"&gt;Never been to a doctor&lt;/a&gt;! I am grateful for the ease of the flow of my life, because I have lived long enough and through enough dramas to know that all events in time will pass! So I show up every day for life, sit still first with THE SOURCE OF ALL THINGS, allow the infinite energy of GOD to fill me, then start doing whatever it is I have to do for this day. I am eternally grateful to all who have come my way and taught me what I needed to know. THANK YOU!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My main request of life which, is ever so granted, has been and still &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;is, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;to be a reflection of GOD'S GRACE AND PEACE! I know that I am the wealthiest man in the whole world because as I generate PEACE and act with GRACE, all my needs are fulfilled without worry. What I need comes exactly when I needed it most, perfect in every way is the life of the one who seeks the kingdom of GOD first! Because GOD is perfect and even in the face of adversity, I see GOD at work showing me and giving me exactly what I need to go on generating GRACE! Where I go, wherever I sit, any time, any place, THERE IS, GRACE OF GOD!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-4052521210330059367?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/4052521210330059367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=4052521210330059367&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/4052521210330059367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/4052521210330059367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/11/eternal-gratitude-infinite-wisdom.html' title='ETERNAL GRATITUDE, INFINITE WISDOM'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-7418970509157846422</id><published>2006-11-21T13:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-12-14T13:04:58.995-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE PERFUNCTORY WAYS OF THE I-MAGE(1)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/664/656/1600/124596/wildspirithierophant.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 165px; height: 194px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/664/656/320/824163/wildspirithierophant.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;THERE ARE MANY LINKS IN THIS POST PLEASE FOLLOW THEM, FOR LOVE'S SAKE come back and &lt;a href="http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/11/perfunctory-ways-of-i-mage2.html"&gt;read part 2&lt;/a&gt;, this one is the longest post for understanding!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;First thank you &lt;a href="http://www.guyfinley.com/Wisdom_Tree/Q_and_A/Questions_Answered/2241/"&gt;Guy Finley&lt;/a&gt; for being a blessed wordsmith! If I-mage is your crafted/gifted word then let me spread the word. DO &lt;a href="http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/11/perfunctory-ways-of-i-mage2.html"&gt;READ PART-2&lt;/a&gt; PLEASE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My beloved children; There is a part of you that feeds on anxiety, depression, low self esteem, negativity ! And its meals of choice are fear, anger, hate,  greed,  and  doubt(even in the face of positive proof!). No matter how you try to reason with this I-MAGE (that is what we'll call that part of you, OK?) it cannot and will not on and of its own accord stop looking for those things I mentioned above. Look my love, that is what it feeds on!  If it cannot find anything in the here time of your head, it will go deeper into the back windmills of your mind, your old fears and concerns (what is it for you? The one thing, the one thought you just can't shake loose for all your life, is it your weight? your money? your family? your image of yourself, your home, an argument you wish you'd won or done better in, an upcoming possible conflict?).This I-MAGE has convinced the rest of your being that you all must participate in its feast of worries and anxiety producing&lt;a href="http://www.rumionfire.com/mathnavi/2_135.htm"&gt; thoughts of what is to come, what was, or what could have been.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IT (the I-MAGE) though a part of your total being, is only good for one thing, in its absence you know what true LIGHT and PEACE feels like. Listen again, the I-MAGE can only take you to its feast if you agree to go there (past, future, not here). Its function is to bring you closer to YOUR TRUE BEING. In &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;so &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;doing,  it is not your enemy but a tool planted in your psyche by the crafty ways of THE ONE WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! &lt;a href="http://www.rumionfire.com/mathnavi/1_2037.htm"&gt;SPRING RAIN&lt;/a&gt; brings life, Autumn rain brings death, yet the two function together so time can pass!&lt;br /&gt;The less time you spend with the I-MAGE the more time you spend at peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember my children, the I-MAGE in you will never cease to look for its food, only you decide how often it gets fed, the day you are free from the I-MAGE is coming for certain, for LIGHT CONSUMES ALL DARKNESS, ONLY A CANDLE LIGHT IS NEEDED TO BRIGHTEN A HOME! What will your I-MAGE bring forth next even as you read these lines, "Oh, yeah right! like I can give up worrying about my kids, my job, my in-laws, my money, my home~~~~~~~~~)~! It may seem like a big job keeping tabs on "what par of me is doing the thinking now?" in the every day affairs of our lives. All you need however, is to look at the "feelings" of these thoughts. Your feelings my children are the best barometer you have to know where you're headed. If it feels bad, well, it is not good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let this phrase then be your "MANTRA", your chant, to see through the I-MAGE:&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.csp.org/chrestomathy/be_here.html"&gt;RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE, ALL IS HERE, ALL IS GOD!&lt;/a&gt;). I am not asking you to go outside of your "religion" here, if you believe &lt;a href="http://www.rumionfire.com/mathnavi/2_446.htm"&gt;Christ&lt;/a&gt; to by your helping grace, then make phrases which include that name(designation). The important thing is to create the sound/thought waves to not allow the I-MAGE to take you to a place where you have to suffer bad feelings. I guarantee you my children that if you use this simple chant(repeated sound/thought waves) every time your I-MAGE is at work feeding, you'll see it depart and wisdom of LIGHT enter your home. Just a gift of a candle from me to you! BE BLESSED MY CHILDREN WITH THE LIGHT OF GRATITUDE! There is always one in more pain than you &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;THINK&lt;/span&gt; you are in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-7418970509157846422?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/7418970509157846422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=7418970509157846422&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/7418970509157846422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/7418970509157846422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/11/perfunctory-ways-of-i-mage.html' title='THE PERFUNCTORY WAYS OF THE I-MAGE(1)'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-3302772986681450798</id><published>2006-11-19T20:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-19T21:04:16.657-07:00</updated><title type='text'>PEACE IS.......</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/664/656/1600/991469/Big%20Ba40.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/664/656/320/27610/Big%20Ba40.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We must learn my good children to be, act as if, pretend if needed that which, we wish to produce and see.

Our main subject; "what is addiction?" So I decided to make my point here to share with all you wonderful children of our addictive ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us first and foremost agree on the definition. &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;"ADDICTION IS THAT WHICH YOU CANNOT SEEMINGLY DO WITHOUT OR THINK IT HARD TO LET GO OF"&lt;/span&gt; To that end my love as we understand our brains better we see that for nearly every thought/emotion there is a corresponding &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypeptide"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;PEPTIDE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;created by the brain which then goes into the blood &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;stream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt; same as any external substance we may take/ingest/inhale/inject.&lt;/span&gt; Pay attention now my beautiful ones,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I have to have my dose of the bad news about the world daily(news junkies) as an intelligent human I need to know what it is that I "have to have" about receiving the news that makes me say "oh it'll be hard to not do this"? What &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.emmabragdon.com/articles/art-09.html"&gt;peptide(chemical)&lt;/a&gt; is it that my body is addicted to as the result of watching the daily bad news  that MY BODY cannot do without? In that respect I am an addict, a junky no matter what other names I use to describe my desire to be bombarded with what is wrong with the world "news"! &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;The fact is that the brain does not know the difference between being in a conflict or thinking about it, the same neuro-nets fire up and the same Peptide(chemical) is produced!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get my fix because I maybe the "great fixer of things", or the horror of the war feeds my anger, or it maybe my intellectual desire to "fight" for justice (of course then I have to know what is wrong daily so I can go and fix it!). What about the person who is addicted to "oh woes me syndrome"? The one who is always the "victim", the one who knows it is done "to her/him", it is always someone else's fault? What is she/he addicted to if not the &lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://primal-page.com/pert.htm"&gt;peptide(chemical)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;for victimization? How about the one who has to have every thing just so..(does compulsive addictive sound familiar)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dearest, most precious children; Learn to let go of anything that has that strong of a hold on you. Foods, TV, Sex, FEAR, Power, Drugs, Anger, Sadness, Judgmentalism,~~~~ I can go on for days, but I know you've got the picture now. Nothing in life on this planet aught to hold my attention and intention away from THE SOURCE! If I think I cannot do without "it", then I am addicted to "it". Hey why not make "it" JOY, PEACE, TENDERNESS, COMPASSION, LOVE!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;add this feed to your life!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5374616-116328559452728463?l=shamansmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/feeds/116328559452728463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5374616&amp;postID=116328559452728463&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/116328559452728463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5374616/posts/default/116328559452728463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamansmind.blogspot.com/2006/11/what-is-addiction.html' title='WHAT IS ADDICTION?'/><author><name>hamid dashti</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/109916181276497691780</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4qN05PZg2QY/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAArI/CDpUopRsiTo/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374616.post-116322139022071642</id><published>2006-11-10T21:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-10T22:05:44.330-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE ABSOLUTE IN MY DREAM/VISION/WALK</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/531/180/1600/CosmosDancer.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/531/180/320/CosmosDancer.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I had a dream, a vision maybe of how to put words onto pages of history. The hands of the beloved at work, where does the man begin where God is not? Simmering stews of all manners of wholesome ingredients given to me to add the seasoning and to deliver the final healing food to the masses~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter too, had a dream of my humble mobile home having become a home with a corridor that had no end and as she walked the corridor she saw all manners of animals, birds, ferrets(new born ones!) all being cared for in their individual room like cages that had only &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;curtains for doors&lt;/span&gt;. The Healing Center where all were serene and healing. "The living room was a big fish tank dad!" She said, and there were fish in it with us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have mastered "matter" in human form, this most seemingly ordinary fact just brought to me the realization of a life time. If I were GOD, seeing my creation mastering matter and form (and to some degree energies), how would I declare that which veils my &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;absoluteness&lt;/span&gt; from my creation? FOR THE SUN THAT SO ILLUMINES THE WORLD, IF IT WERE TO DRAW NEARER IT WOULD CONSUME THE VERY WORLD IT SUSTAINS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'd have some word smiths work that out. My children!

I practice the ways of those who did so before me. I write about it, I print out the words of my peaceful intentions and hang them around my home. VOILA! I am a peacful man to all who know me. May this be the journey for every single one of you my wonderful children. Let this living example of a man you know be a guiding light to help you achieve the same in your own lives. Because I guarantee this my love, that, whatever you think about the most, you'll bring about the most of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT      DO       YOU       WANT? Give the universe the order, and worry not about the how.

You do, my beautiful ones, you do....   Can you muster up faith the size of a mustard seed? You don't need to know how electricity works to turn on a light bulb!

We had started from a mutual place, a quote from the  Bible  (Had  ye  faith  the size of a mustard  seed,  ye  could move mountains).

GOOD AND EVIL? SIN?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very notion of a sin, heaven, and hell has only been around for about 2-4 thousand years, how did we lose all we knew for nearly 3000,000 years before that?
