Mind and Heart ~ Charles Bukowski

12 August 2021 1 Comment

Mind and Heart by Charles Bukowski unaccountably we are alone forever alone and it was meant to be that way, it was never meant to be any other way– and when the death struggle begins the last thing I wish to see is a ring of human faces hovering over me– better just my old friends, the walls of my self, let only them be there. I have been alone but seldom lonely. I have satisfied my thirst at the well of my self and that wine was good, the best I ever had, and tonight sitting staring into the … Continue reading

Conscious Life ~ Gangaji

27 July 2021 Leave a Comment

If you are willing to take an instant to withdraw attention from whatever your internal dialogue is, to withdraw energy from whatever the latest point of view about your suffering is, it is immediately obvious what is here: the fullness, the richness, and the love of oneself as conscious life. ~ Gangaji Photo by Jason Blackeye on Unsplash Continue reading

Entering the Bardo ~ Joanna Macy

15 July 2021 Leave a Comment

In this op-ed, eco-philosopher and Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy introduces us to the bardo — the Tibetan Buddhist concept of a gap between worlds where transition is possible. "As the pandemic reveals ongoing collapse and holds a mirror to our collective ills," she writes, "we have the opportunity to step into a space of reimagining. "When we dare to face the cruel social and ecological realities we have been accustomed to, courage is born and powers within us are liberated to reimagine and … Continue reading

The Moment ~ Margaret Atwood

1 July 2021 3 Comments

The Moment The moment when, after many years of hard work and a long voyage you stand in the centre of your room, house, half-acre, square mile, island, country, knowing at last how you got there, and say, I own this, is the same moment when the trees unloose their soft arms from around you, the birds take back their language, the cliffs fissure and collapse, the air moves back from you like a wave and you can’t breathe. No, they whisper. You own nothing. You were a visitor, time after … Continue reading

You are life ~ Charles Eisenstein

"I would ask you to consider that the pace of your transition out of the dark state has its own intelligence and that when the moment comes to take these steps, you will be ready and you will do them." ~ Charles Eisenstein View the full interview with Marcus Pibworth of The Ministry of Change here: https://youtu.be/DrMOIHJJJMM Watch video

It is up to you to choose what today is going to be and then make it so ~ Eileen Caddy

24 June 2021 Leave a Comment

Because yesterday was not all it should have been does not matter. Yesterday is finished and gone and you can do nothing about it. Today is a completely different matter. It lies before you untouched and unblemished. And it is up to you to make it the most wonderful day. How do you start off each day? Remember, it is no concern of anyone else. It is something you, and you alone, have to choose to bring about. Try to start off the day with inner peace and contentment by taking time to be still … Continue reading

Awakening the eternal beauty and light of your soul ~ John O’Donohue

22 June 2021 Leave a Comment

There are no manuals for the construction of the individual you would like to become. You are the only one who can decide this and take up the lifetime of work that it demands. This is a wonderful privilege and such an exciting adventure. To grow into the person that your deepest longing desires is a great blessing. If you can find a creative harmony between your soul and your life, you will have found something infinitely precious. You may not be able to do much about the great problems … Continue reading

A NonDual Perspective on Buddha’s Four Noble Truths ~ Peter Russell

9 June 2021 1 Comment

The conventional interpretation of Buddha's Four Noble Truths, and the 8-Fold Way, is of practices that will eventually lead to liberation. NonDualism says that liberation is available here and now when we completely let go of egoic thinking. From this perspective the "way" is the way liberation unfolds as a result. I have found this approach, albeit unconventional, has been very helpful in my own journey. Peter Russell is a Findhorn Fellow and revolutionary futurist and physicist. Watch video

Real Freedom of the Spirit Calls for Giving All ~ Eileen Caddy

24 May 2021 Leave a Comment

When any of you are tempted to hold on to something of the old for security, realise you cannot move fully into the New as long as you are clinging on to that something of the old. You cannot learn to swim as long as you have one toe on the bottom, you cannot learn to fly an airplane without taking off the ground. You have to do something; you have to make an effort. Every soul longs for freedom of the Spirit but to find real freedom of the Spirit calls for a giving all, to receiving all, and … Continue reading

A Sleep of Prisoners ~ Christopher Fry

10 May 2021 Leave a Comment

The human heart can go the lengths of God… Dark and cold we may be, but this Is no winter now. The frozen misery Of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move; The thunder is the thunder of the floes, The thaw, the flood, the upstart Spring. Thank God our time is now when wrong Comes up to face us everywhere, Never to leave us till we take The longest stride of soul we ever took. Affairs are now soul size. The enterprise Is exploration into God. Where are you making for? It takes So many … Continue reading
