… Smiling at the clouds
In total freedom
And trust
The divine nature
Holds all in its embrace
In the heart of a bustling city
In the soul of a forest
A glowing ray shines through
A lonely seagull glides over the ocean
While the desert sings its soulful song
A whisper
A cry
A child is born
And someone sheds a tear of joy
While
Somewhere else
Someone else
Cries tears of sadness
The world goes on turning
The divine nature present in all things.
~ Toni Carmine Salerno
Do you still not know that the way to the Truth stands open only to those without intentions?
We tie ourselves up with intentions, not mindful of the fact that intention is the limitation.
But what thing dost thou now,
Looking Godward, to cry,
I am I, thou art thou,
I am low, thou art high?
I am thou, whom thou seekest to find him.
Find thou but thyself, thou art I.
O my sons, O too dutiful
Towards Gods not of me,
Was not I enough beautiful?
Was it hard to be free?
For behold, I am with you and in you and
of you; look forth now, and see.”
~ Hertha, by Algernon C. Swinburne
It happens to all. To some brutally, to some, softly. Even though thought of frequently by most, it remains a surprise for many.
It remains this way still, so the truth will continue to be skewed.
Discernment requires practice you see.
All happens for a very specific reason. It’s okay that you don’t know what that is, yet.
We don’t always get what we want.
Peace.
May my mind, heart and soul reach a state of perfect serenity.
May all my thoughts and actions reflect my pursuit of a peaceful and tranquil existence.
“Detach from the illusory world that is crumbling in front of your eyes.
Detach, detach.
Drink your protein and burn your peace candle.
Detach …”
oh how even just the utterance of this word, fills me with oh just so many emotions. oh how since the very beginning, of my journey, i’ve but subtly dream of getting married to the one that oh i’d love.
oh how even without ever getting close to live this dream of mine, oh I’m able to imagine far and beyond it; as if it was my reality that oh i lived; from rise, until set.
oh let me walk you around it; as oh i tell you, all about what I feel about it.
anyone who has pursued or is pursuing some form of art, knows as to how as to how the process is more beautiful than the destination itself.
the path that led to ‘create‘ something beautiful is oh just more valuable.
similarly, the path that may lead to your marriage, oh the journey until…

We must remember the boundary between our unbridled passions and the Higher Self.
A ring of flames rises up, with the power to protect the rich ruby of the mind.
You’re emotionally steady and not following your passions headlong into lustful entanglements. You have the ability to steer your passions in an artful and creative way without consuming others in your fire.
Guardian King of the North: His time is midnight, and the element he guards is air. He is seen holding a mongoose, which is spitting jewels in his left hand, and a hammer of victory over the most deadly emotions in his right hand.
The highest wisdom is often the simplest.
A golden celestial dragon is flying through space, holding jewels of the other four elements, which it protects.
Ground yourself in human reality, measure your life’s actions, and realize who and where you are. Enlightenment happens in stages.
Wisdom from the higher realms will make you appreciate and share the riches of the Earth.
A reclining yellow-green dragon protects the yellow precious stones of the Earth that lie among mountains and hills.
You’re looking in the right place for wisdom and spiritual riches. You’re generous because you think of others and their needs. You have an abundance of energy and the wisdom to use it wisely.
You have a boundary between the darker stormy levels of consciousness and the clear state of mind. Stay clear.
A ring of shimmering water washes around a deep blue sapphire, a facet of the enlightened mind.
This is a reminder that you must stay calm in the face of irritation, wash away the stains of upset, and stay on course through the storms of life.

Becoming what?
These days it is easier to believe those we encounter are of a cruel nature, rather than a kind nature.
When did the shift occur? When did it become foolish to leave keys in cars, or the front door to the house unlocked?
It seems to me the late seventies and early eighties were the final years for relaxed freedoms … at least here in the USA.
Are we a paranoid people?
Do we look for the bad in everything, including our self?
“I have held much to be true, which I now discover to be false; I have no reason to suppose anything to be more certain. Possibly everything that I conceive and believe is false. What then is true; what is certain?”
~The Secret Path, by Paul Brunton
She spoke, “There is a beacon becoming”
And I dove into a sea of stormy winds wail
Their might was mighty swift and running
(Every which way)
“Stay with it, child you’re changing”
She sang
Sister sun your ivory tongue is flowin’ like the waters run and all my thoughts jump into
Feathers abound fall on the page down, feathers abound fall on the pages
Sister sun your inner lungs are spinning shapes alive and wove in vision
Praying, pray our spirit, turn, our heart’s’ll become
(And what these words do
And what these words do…)
Sure as flight (and a dash unruly), and faster than the breath you’re heaving
Your wild (as a righteous fury) can be led or be leading
Inside, what a maze of ladders, so you look and look a while (every which way)
This fire, by the burn of-our grandmothers, shapes the way of your choosing
So stay, stay with it, daughter you’re creating this
And every sound you give make sure you’re aiming it
Sister sun your ivory tongue is flowin’ like the waters run and all my thoughts jump into
Feathers abound fall on the page down, feathers about fall on the pages
Sister sun your inner lungs are spinning shapes alive and wove in vision
Praying, pray our spirit, turn, our heart’s’ll become…
Sister sun your ivory tongue is flowin’ like the waters run and all my thoughts jump into
Feathers abound fall on the page down, feathers about fall on the pages
Sister sun your inner lungs are spinning shapes alive and wove in vision
Praying, pray our spirit, turn, our heart’s’ll become…
You got flames for wings, and at the
Stake is the claim of your wild speech
Fake is the flurry try to keep you in a bind
Shake shake shake it off like the way the dragon ride
Out of your cave you’re a beast of another dawn
Like a wake on the current that her voice will
Carry you for another lifetime
Keep your sight set right, leadin with the
Sound of the arrow fly
(And what these words do
And what these words do…)
Sister sun your ivory tongue is flowin’ like the waters run and all my thoughts jump into
Feathers abound fall on the page down, feathers abound fall on the pages
Sister sun your inner lungs are spinning shapes alive and wove in vision
Praying, pray our spirit, turn, our heart’s’ll become.

The mysterious “Over-self”?
The point where the intellect is transmuted into intuition = The Realm of Illumination.
To save the world is the Path of Salvation.
Dedicated service is the Hallmark of a Revealed Soul.
Alice A. Bailey, Forward in “The Secret Path” by Paul Brunton
The sacredness of any celebration is dependent upon the quality of spirit that is present. The quality of spirit is greater to the degree that you are fully present, with minimal inhibitions about expressing your joy and happiness through physical movement. Focus on what you want to celebrate. Put on some music and dance, whether slow or fast. Sing a song while you do so. Make one up about what you most have to celebrate.
You have lost touch with your instinctual sensitivities. It is the result of cultural and/or religious proscriptions dictating that anything wild and instinctual is threatening and, therefore, has to be controlled or eliminated. Now is the time to overcome this limited mindset and tune in to these instinctual cues.
Shed some of your inhibitions with the only guideline being to “do no harm”. Experiment by getting out of the straight jacket of familiar societal norms and listening to those sensations in your gut that are trying to give you a message. Take some deep breaths, and simply notice what your bodily sensations are telling you. Your mind will be the receiver of that information, and your body and mind can learn to work more closely with each other once again.
You have the advantage of an incredible synergy at this time. A flow of Life is guiding you. You are in a mutually cooperative interaction with Spirit, and your mission is congruent with your sense of purpose. When this is happening, there is a synergy, a way that your life force is continually coming into balance with the forces of Nature.
There is also a synergy between your spiritual awareness and your personal self, or ego. Be aware of the various idiosyncrasies of your ego, and do not take any of them too seriously. Know that your Higher Self is always looking out for your best interests.
Now is the time to let anything in your life fall away that is no longer useful or needed for the emerging expression of who you are. Allow yourself to gradually shed what has become burdensome and no longer congruent with your souls purpose. Conserve your energy by allowing yourself more rest while at the same time making preparations for the winter season. Look especially at your material possessions and be brutally honest with yourself as you discern which of these can be given away or somehow released.
Consider shedding relationships that have served their purpose and are no longer viable, as well as work or a job that has become devoid of interest and passion. With release comes a sense of being much lighter, just like the trees that openly bear their nakedness once their leaves have departed and give room for whatever new Life is ready to birth following a period of quiet and gestation. So let go of whatever has outlived its purposefulness and trust that something else will take its place.
You have power and it starts with loving the Earth through your heartfelt gratitude and appreciation, but more important, through your actions. All that is required is your willingness to pay attention to the trees and plant life around you and demonstrate your care.
Whether you live in a small space or have an expanse of land, make it a point to be especially attentive to your surrounding vegetation. Plant something. Get your hands in the dirt and do so with love and enthusiasm. Every flower, tree, or shrub you are tending is a living being, so treat each like you would a dear friend.
