true prayer

During recent centuries, the nature of prayer has been misunderstood in all sorts of ways by this or that spiritual movement, and to gain a true understanding of it will not be easy.

If, however, we remember that these centuries have been marked especially by the emergence of egotistic spiritual trends which have laid hold of wide circles of people, we shall not find it surprising that prayer has been dragged down to the level of egotistic wishes and desires.

And it must be said that prayer can hardly be more utterly misunderstood than when it is permeated by some form of egotism.

In this lecture we shall try to study prayer entirely in the light of spiritual science, free from any sectarian or other influence.

love & loathing

While the world is busy spinning all to dust I sit still and quiet at home. Shifting consciousness - mine and the planet's. Me to you. You to me. We to tree. 

Plant Medicine.

our local Canlaon Wonder Tree - a 1,328 year old balete or banyan

Buried and borrowing deep roots into the rich dark soil of the land - into the core of Mother Earth. Growing and spreading eager fresh tendrils and branches into the Ether. 

Here I am. Be I Am. You I am. 

soothing the savage beast

That's me!

Of late it really does not take much to rile  or ruffle me.

easing into some mindless freefall

I walk around in a daze my heart in shreds at our humanity.

pacing myself, one quadrant at a time

Ready to tear my heart out or tear into others.

slowly & surely, working towards center

Pity the plebe who encounters my wrath.

move, moving, movement

In sheer desperation I turn back to my coloring book to soothe my troubled soul.
