shaman's thoughts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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