shaman's thoughts

Define and narrow me, you starve yourself of your self Nail me down in a box of cold words, that box is your coffin. I do not know who I am. I am in astounded lucid confusion! Pray and Predator met death I am not a Christian, not a Jew not a Zoroastrian, I am not even a Muslim... I am the life of Life. I am that cat, this stone, no one...., I see and know all times and worlds As one, ONE, always one. What do I have to do to get you to admit who is speaking? Admit it and change everything This is your own voice echoing off the walls of God!                                                                              (my Beloved Rumi) ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

Hello children: I am amazed at the document created by an online translator, once from English to Farsi(Persian) and then back again to English (thus my title of this post, all organically created in the digital world very little input from me ). Yet, I see a way of word arrangement within it that I or any other writer/wordsmith would not find so easily! I am going to insert the document now as it is created by the online translator, and someday we'll hope to see the original in the version I had written long ago!       Intent on keeping God in the face when I'm moving, God is moving and when God moves, I IN MOTION AM NO SHAME, NO blame, NO guilt, NO FEAR, ONLY GOD ALL SPECIAL, responsible, SOUL Free, brave, God. Allah a name, THE SOURCE, another what, IS GOD IN MOTION, SOURCE ACTIVE move NONE can outside SOURCE NONE can "know" SOURCE water molecules IN THE OCEAN per OCEAN, still together, ALL ONE OCEAN certainty...

salam(peace) children: Here is a good one to live by, cannot tell how I come to speak it, it is of Tao nature(all I know for sure is I have been saying it in one fashion or another since the late 70's here it goes again: "Think, as though the whole of the sky, is a screen displaying your every thought,   Speak, as though every word was to be certain to return to you amplified,  Say, as though the whole of the world was but one ear, listening in,  ACT, as though the fruit of every action was to be certain to return to you magnified,  For in reality my children, this is HOW CONNECTED EVERYTHING IS !" i AM YOU ARE HE IS SHE IS ALL ONE BODY! ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

salaam (peace) children; A fast is on and the man is all engrossed without a care..A cleansing fast, a long time coming fast (late actually to be honest), a much needed one for clarity of the mind as well as the body. Reminds me of all the Muslims in the world who are supposed to be observing the holy month of Ramadan, not all do of course like any other tradition, some practice, some just believe! If I were to be mindfully stating anything right this minute, I have to first accept that for far too long the man has been off balance. Seemingly at odds with almost all who are as close as family and in agony over his own shortcomings. There is no growth without pain and suffering. First Buddha truth!  I am a natural man, all immersed in my nature as a tree is or a scorpion would be. I live this life aware enough to know that miracles are all around, apples fall when ready, and that, all will come to live life in total surrender to THE FORCE FROM WHICH ALL  EMANATE...

SALAM (PEACE) CHILDREN; Even the most  rigorously tested and contested  IDEAS about life,  in all manners of measurements humans use; is only a mere shadow of  a force in motion which cannot and has not been identified, perhaps maybe only glimpsed at its nature by a handful! I look in the mirror, my light is as bright but that reflection of my light is only a shadow of light, not my light! We assume that we,( us the human ones), are "doing" stuff" and making things happen! It is like the monkey assuming he runs the fortune telling machine his master controls! There is no "doing" children, for the flow of this life force which moves all matter , much like a river, knows the way to the ocean where all flowing rivers are going....                                                           spirit rover, Earth from Mars...

We've paid our dues   learned to tie our shoes a long time ago.. We learned to let go of precious and dear ones as easily it seems as waking up to a new world and saying OK, no problem! All we really have are assumptions, rooted in our stories of who done it of war heroes and glories stories, told to us by our 4fathers They seem more like, guidelines drawn on the sands of time  always shifting side to side to side wobbly and off centered We are indeed only so smart  not enough however, as to say yea or nay to all that is passed on from the elders of the tribe in our common humanity's time here It is so good to know for certain as we do about the rivers always going towards the seas brother!   ONLY GOD ALWAYS GOD ALL GOD ALONE GOD ONLY

salaam (peace) children;                                    There is  a song on my mind tonight that tells the children to teach their parents well and the parents to teach the children well. There is a song on my heart too tonight, it talks about the deep anguish of a reluctant modern messiah, a self proclaimed manifestation of THE WITNESS! When will the children come home again? I fear I shall see my golden years amidst the age of arrogance, ignorance, darkness and fears unfounded! Seems hard enough to be an alien, but to be so amongst the human race gone into a tail spin of lust and cravings galore  leaves me so cold with not a tear to shed! My garden and I shall be waiting for every spring with eagerness of the dead looking Mesquites who know exactly when to bloom to avoid any last winter fros...
