shaman's thoughts

Salaam(peace) children; 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? 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 ch

Salaam refeegh: Thank you for the thoughts and words, All is indeed well as all is ONE! "Tears are what forms the mighty river(insight)(INSPIRATION), that lifts our boat (the soul) off the rocks (stuck areas). When we have areas in our lives that are not addressed and dealt with our soul gets stuck in its ability to be as free and expansive as it is meant to be. But soon the soul cries out for relief and the tears come,the dam bursts, and the river flows and lifts us off the rocks.In that rushing of insight, comes great healing to the soul, affecting the entire body. Mashaallah!" I agree completely! and.....I would add that, it takes many tearful moments, before the nanny hears the child and brings the milk! That too is just the way it is, as the ZEN would say "Suchness"!! Either after "awakening" and becoming aware, we can instill the discipline of polishing the old/learned crap away, or we keep thinking that "because I know the prob

Salaam(peace) children; This week I feel much like a child again my self. A child confused by the grown ups lack of courage and adventure, light heartedness and forgiveness. But above all my heart saddens at the site of so much separateness and disconnect. Children learn from the parents oh so well how to see divisions rather than unities. I wonder whose pick nick spread shall lay upon the grass that shall grow from the dust that this body is sure to become in time. My good ones; where there is ONLY GOD, ALL ELSE IS EXCESS, ALL THINKING IS HOLLOW, AND ALL RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! 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)! 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 acce

Salaam(peace) children; Well by now 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! 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? 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 seem

Salaam(peace) children: For every breath there is surely a life passing! For every tear there is sure to be a heart beating. For every love, there is a beloved. I tell you verily, you beautiful instruments of my growth, once you learn to show up daily for life with an accepting heart and willing mind, trusting the design which beats your very heart, Oh....my beloved ones, you will indeed wory no more, no fear ever again! ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Salaam(peace) children; Allow me to pick up where we left off last blog. 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? We have now demonstrated beyond doubt that what we call "SOLID MATTER" is anything but solid! Take notes my beautiful ones , " ALL MATTER I

Salaam(peace) children of Adam; Who's hand writes the lines, directs the plays of life, brings Tsunami's that wipes all clean? Is our brother Bush not a Tsunami? What forces then move matter and energy in and around what we call "me", the self in a biobody suite of about 50 trillion individual other unseen selves forming skin and bone matter? Look children; Nothing else is so fundamental to our being or living than this connecting in a daily deciplined way to THE SOURCE OF THAT FORCE WHICH MOVES ALL UNIVERSAL MATTER IN ALL WORLDS! ALLAHO-AKBARON-LATEEF ! We have accepted all of that for the most part intellectually. It is in accepting of and surrendering with PEACE to, the affects of these Tsunami's of our mutual humanity and human experiences that we seem unable. 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 BELOV

Salaam(peace) children; 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. 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 " I am not this body" and all that this phrase holds within its magnificent arrangement

Salaam(peace) children; 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! 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! CLICK HERE For this reason most masters and teachers have left us tools to keep the wondering mind awakened to the moment. These a

Salaam(peace) children; 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! 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

Salaam(peace) children; " It is in surrendering that we gain freedom " 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: ( like the willow tree, I'll learn how to bend with the winds of changes without resistance, and be free from pain and grief! ) (look how from a dead tree, rises a new life!) CLICK ON PICTURE TO SEE DETAILS. IT IS IN ALLOWING THAT WE RECEIVE IN DYEING TO THE OLD SELF, THAT WE ARE BORN SERENE IN NOT RESISTING WE LEARN FLEXIBILITY IN NON-JUDGING THAT WE ARE NOT JUDGED IN ACCEPTING WE ARE ACCEPTED IN HUMILITY WE ARE LEAD TO HIGHER FORMS IT IS IN PAIN THAT WE LEARN ABOUT COMFORT IT IS IN SORROW THAT WE LEARN ABOUT JOY IT IS IN TRUSTING OUR SOURCE TH

Oh keepers of the gates, gifted spiri

salaam(peace) children; When we get bogged down with details and methodologies, we almost always loose sight of the TAO(the WAY). 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! 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. 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

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. 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

Salaam(peace) children; 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"! 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. All motions are only tools in the hands of THE ONE! If not for darkness, light would not be! Most of us seem to think that "Evil" is this force outside of /separate from THE ONE, as if in opposition with a force of its own! How could this be my love? NO-THING can BE outside of ONENESS! Yet my beloved, we struggle because we see in dichotomies as if one coin aught not to have two sides and be one coin, each side only hidden when the other is showing(..and this goes on on a nano second basis!). Almost blasphemous! YET TRUE SERVANTS ONLY SEE

Salaam(peace) children; Imagine if you will, a small room with many small peak holes but no obvious door. 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. 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. 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. Do you suppose my good ones that any single one will ever know that ther

salam janam; it has not stopped raining here in Texas,since my arrival! They say 21 days of rain in may is the most it has ever rained in Texas, and it has not stopped yet close to the end of June! I have freaked a few Texans by collecting and drinking the precious rain water! My own kids remember us doing it in Arizona, but they have grown and forgotten the ways . I keep getting this message of urgency to remain connected to THE LIGHT SOURCE WITHIN, as if life is saying to all the true seekers "no more half ass'ed measures will do now" (a very awakening thought, more like a kick in the ass for the dog). 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, "baba

ONENESS CALLS TO THE HUMAN RACE LIKE A MOTHER CALLING HER CHILDREN HOME. THE CREATOR IS ABOUT TO COMPLETE THE WORK AND SHIFT, MAGIC IS AFOOT! LORD MY GOD AND ESSENCE OF SELF, LEAD MY STEPS AND FINGERS TO ONLY DO THAT WHICH HASTENS THE JOURNEY HOME. LET ME NOT BE BUSY WITH THE EGO’S JOURNEY, BUT THE JOURNEY OF THE LIIGHT YOU PUT WITHIN ME WITH YOUR BREATH. LET ME BE AN ISTRUMENT OF YOUR GRACEFUL PRESENCE MY LOVE AND LET MY TEARS NEVER DRY FOR LONGING FOR YOUR TOUCH. LORD MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE SO BUSY WITH THE “I” STUFF OF THIS WORLD THAT THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE LITTLE HOPE FOR MOST OF THEM. YOUR CHILDREN MY BELOVED, YOU DO AS YOU WILL, LET ME BE EVER VIGILANT AND STEADY. THANK YOU MY LOVE FOR THE GIFT OF SOBREITY AND ATTENTIVENESS. THANK YOU FOR MY HEALTH AND THE WISDOM OF MAITAINING IT. I NEED NO DOCTOR, FOR YOU HAVE SHOWN ME THE WONDERS OF YOUR PLANTS AND FORCES OF LIFE’S FLOWING ENERGIES. KEEP ME AWAKE MY LOVE AT YOUR DOOR EVER SO READY TO GIVE ALL I HAVE FOR

Sala'm(peace) children; There is a storm coming and the whole of the world knows it! A shift is afoot! Let me pray for all seekers who have had this feeling that none of the old paradigms seem to be enough or work any more. BE EVER SO PRESENT MY CHILDREN, BE AWAKE AND ATTENTIVE, FOR THE HOUR IS NEAR AND YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHEN THE THIEF OF TIME IS COMING. Do not be caught up in trivial matters of the stuff of the EGO's illusive world when the shift happens. Neither be fogged up in your heads my beautiful ones. Say "YES" to the light within you and connect daily my children to the SOURCE of that LIGHT! Come daily my love, to the table of the beloved and all else shall be well with you and your light. ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

So have you noticed that there are only 3 posts for the whole month of May?! Let my heart be evermore grateful for the silence and the harnessed tongue. It seems to be the season for purging and cleansing, a season to be in the solitude of the spirit and dwell in the depth of the deepest hidden treasures in the heart chakra. How else does one hear the not so distant drums of the beloved unless one is quiet? What do you do my children to quiet your churning minds? Namaste' (I bow to the place within you that is GOD) ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Sala'm(peace) children; How have you been holding up my beautiful ones? You are always wrapped in my bestest wishes and prayers. It is most uplifting to know that you too think of me now and then, that you send a well wish my way and remember me in PEACE! That in your hardship too, you'd think of what this old shaman would have to say about a situation or acceptance in grace. A good man recently left his mold. 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??!!?? 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

We seem to think that we are the only living beings/systems capable of making love on a higher level. After all, what the animals seem to be doing is procreating without any apparent deep connection involved. 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! 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." "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 mo

Sala'm(peace) children; For as long as I can remember I have been waiting for something big. Every time I think this is it! It is not. Every time I think I am fulfilled and resolved, I am not! The pain of not knowing to the brain is like a cut in the flesh on which salt is being placed for no apparent reason except to wake the wounded up from their sleep!! I celebrate the days of pain as I do the days of joy just the same. I show up, sit down quietly, and voila!! I am connected to the many thousand years old stories of the trunk of an old oak or the rock offered me by the ancient mountains to lean against. The form matters not, it counts for naught, what animates the form is all there is! You my beautiful ones on the same journey, may this day you too have the tender touch of the SOURCE caress your heart and mind for a time. Namaste' ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Salam (Peace) children; Lesson number 2 from the mighty Chaparral: " I have seen generations of humans come and go this way, just as you have seen generations of insects come to life, build a home, have a family, and die in a 24 hour time span. To a few million year old rock the human life span is even less than a 24 hour period. " Care my children that you do not become attached to anything of the world of matter (in any way!), for in a short time you'll have to leave it all and be gone! ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Sala'm(peace)children; PLEASE GO TO THIS (go to the bottom of the page to fill out a short form please) ( http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/healthfreedomusa/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=7185 WEBSITE AND ADD YOUR VOICE FOR OUR CHOICE TO NATURAL HEALING ARTS DISCIPLINES RATHER THAN SYNTHETICALLY DRIVEN ALOPATHIC MEDICINE. Holistic healing through food is not medicine, its a way of life! As of this moment, 145,541 people have submitted their comments on this over reach by the FDA through our site! Good, but not good enough! We need to show the kind of strength that we have on this issue. The last time people got this involved, we got the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA, 1994) which gave us back the right to take any supplements we desire since they are classified as food and therefore recognized as safe. It is limited Democracy as I like to refer to it, but it does work. Just CLICK HERE fill in the form (near the bottom of page) and the progra

Where is God? Within and without and yet not! Tears come and make a mascara for my lashes as the very thought of our SOURCE breaks my human form. My children, assume not that you understand or have the capacity of holding THE SOURCE even as a thought. So many talk as if we are THE ONE! Yet I tell you children that if I were to become the very SUN that sustains life here, If you were to be the sum totality of the vastness of all the known and unknown galaxies; We would still be so much less. THINK ABOUT THIS MY LOVE, HOW CAN YOUR IMAGE IN THE MIRROR SAY THAT HISH(he/she) IS YOU? WITH ALL ITS PERFECT RESEMBLANCE (you can even see the tears in that mirror), IT IS STILL ONLY YOUR IMAGE. So it is between the Source and what we are, what is. Just a little more seemingly interactive than our mirrors on the still walls. ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Salam(peace) children; God willing, I'll have a series of teachings being handed to me by the Healing Chaparral bush to offer you! 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. 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 tha

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? 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! 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

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! 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? 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

Greetings; just a quick way of adding contents to this blog. I was impressed so here is the feed to the UK! clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk from the Mail online Hubble: The most amazing space photographs in the universe Hubble: The most amazing space photographs in the universe Picture 1 of 10: The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted best picture taken by the Hubble telescope. The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance. It has 800 billion suns and is 50,000 light years across « BACK NEXT »  

Once awakened the spirit child will cry out daily until it receives its meal. Once fed it brings calm, just to be reawakened in tears in yet another moment or two(your moment my love or mine?). The cycle of systematic/epistemic changes may seem the same to the sleepy hollows, but every leaf, every Spring is the new child in need of new attention from the Gardner. Be attentive my beloved, the garden is always in need of your touch, be ever so vigilant and present. You of all people who have tasted the fruit, why tarry my love? Waters will always come to the gardens with attentive gardners! The river told me the other day that it is rushing to reach its home and we smiled at one another when he said "but you my friend are already home, where is your light?" 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. I don't know when I made it home this day, or who kept the memory of it all, but her

Sala'm(peace)children; Learn my beautiful ones to be in silence more, both inwardly and on the outside. It is our anticipatory nature of the churning mind that often results in our taking actions or not acting upon what hinders or enhances our enlightened lives. The Chapparel never yells out its healing nature "Who is it inside me that I am so quiet and he so loudly churns the words?" A quote from a teacher some 900 years ago! Learn my children about that churning part of your mind and how to quiet hish(a word I have invented to denote he/she or him/her or his/hers, just to keep it neutral) ways! Yeah! hish needs to change hish ways if anything new is to happen here! ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Salam(peace) children; I received a link from an old Friend called " peace train Tehran " which, I though was appropriate enough to our times to put here for all to see. It is a small flash movie with Cat Stevens(Yusif Islam)'s Peace Train music. Pictures of Iran most Westerners will never get to see. As our beloved George is posturing in the Persian Gulf, we need to say " PEACE BROTHER GEORGE "! oN a separate note, if less of us watched the news about the seeming conflicts, and did not give it so much life, instead focused our attentions on PEACE and loving our neighbors in our own individual neighborhoods, in our own small ways, wars would not have a chance of taking hold! Namaste'(I bow before the place within you that is GOD) ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

There is no one more openly irreverent than a lover. He jumps up on the scale opposite eternity and claims to balance it! No one more secretly reverent!! Only grammatically is the Dervish a lover, a doer.. In reality, so overcome, so dissolved into love, for him all qualities of doingness disappear! note:( found this in my hand writing on an envelope, don't know whether it came out of me or some other soul's being, but oh...how true it is to the nature of a lover). A sigh of a thousand years bursts out of me at every breath longing for my beloved's touch. When we sit together caressing in silence, no pain, no desires, not a care...I am as naked as the Dolphins of the sea. How this body holds the light within, ahhh.. I'd fall apart but for the GRACE of the beloved... ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

I am asked about "free will" to which I always reply as did my brother in life Einstein. 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" 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. 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! Daily bread is not made of flour my love! Spinner Dolphins spin up to seven complete r
