MY TIME MASTER "SHAMS"

-
SALA'M(Peace!) children. 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.

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):

" 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!"

I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!

MESSAGE FROM THE HOPI ELDERS!!

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

ETERNAL GRATITUDE, INFINITE WISDOM

SALA'M(Peace) children! 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). 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, hard...
