My Point of view and my postings on food shortage

My friends of myspace,

First I want to say that I am not trying to spread a bad vibe when I am posting about world food shortages, but to bring awareness about the changing lines that are already shaping the world of tomorrow.

We, in the Western world are rich and are not feeling the pain that other countries have to deal with. We, in the rich Western world are not set apart from what's going on elsewhere, calamities are ignorant of cultures, borders or races.

Economics as a doctrine is driving every aspects of social life, just as religion did during the middle age in Europe. The answer to all that is brewing is not economic, neither politic, scientific or religious.

The answer my friends is about us all, considering hearth as one nation, one kingdom; human, animals, fish, birds, plants and the four elements.

Coming food shortages and inflations are mismanagements and consequences of our collective choices, not only in America, Europe or Asia, but everywhere and by all.

I am only trying to relate to those who are not as fortunate as I am, and using the work of journalist to let you know their reports.

I & me... as in you and I
Category: Religion and Philosophy

I & me

Note:

(Dear reader, when writing «we» in this text, it must be understood that it is the conjunction of «I & me» that speak as one individual. In other words, it is «the soul and my personality» who are speaking as one.)








We have wandered for a long time into the land of duality, of conflicts and unattainable desires. For that much time, we were at war against each other, sometimes reaching for a truce, only to regain strength and get on again to oppose each other in all kinds of manners.


This long wandering on the road to illumination could e called sufferings and purifications of this duality of who we are; of who we are becoming. No words or stories can explain the path; these words we are now using to share our experience on the path are serving only as an evocation for the principle of the meaning of life or dharma.


From were we are standing now, on this never ending path to illumination, we are celebrating the coming of this peace of heart, the peace of mind… a great accomplishment indeed, although our daily life is not much different from what it looked like a year ago. Something to rejoice, because the blossom of this mew state of being give us the feeling of oneness…

But of course, we can clearly see the distinction that set us apart, heart & mind, soul & personality… that this state of being is not something static but rather dynamic, like the flowing of water on the bedrock of a high mountain stream… Water, rocks and the flow… oneness.


This peace we are experiencing has a new color, or should we say, it is colorless as water, reflecting the shades and patterns that are surrounding us.

Being one, being at peace, we can now consider our respective realms and realize that our search for fulfillment must go side by side, altering action and rest, like as in the action of walking, one leg move forward while the other rest firm on the ground. To us, it is a good evocation of the essence of the path to illumination.

In that sense, we see this inner peace as an harmonious setting of alternating activity and rest, between us: heart and mind, soul and personality.


When we are one; in peace, I & me think, speak, feel act and love, and as so, we realize that we are the two columns at the entrance of the sacred temple. If there is a way in this holly place, let me suggest it must be in between us.


We hope this little sharing about us can be useful some how.

la voie du juste milieu
Category: Life

La voie du juste milieu

Qu'est-ce que la voie du juste milieu? Est-ce une voie qui se trouve à l'intérieure ou bien à l'extérieure? Je veux dire, est-ce que l'intérieure c'est ce lieux de la perception qui est la conscience même ou bien est-ce une voie se trouvant dans le monde en tant que tel?

Est-ce que cette voie a une orientation horizontale ou bien verticale? Y a-t-il un autre plan à découvrir que ses deux là?

Je ne sais pour ceux qui comme moi recherche la divine sagesse, l'illumination cosmique, la délivrance du monde des ténèbres, mais comme moi, pour y parvenir, cherchent-il aussi cette voie mystérieuse et élusive à mon sens?

Il me semble que la voie du juste milieu implique une voie se trouvant à mi-chemin entre le blanc et le noir, la gauche et la droite, le haut et le bas, le bien et le mal. Il me semble que cette voie est à mi-chemin entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur, là, comme ce qui est entre deux amis.

L'amour a certainement rapport avec cette voie, mais cet amour est-il la voie elle-même… si c'est le cas, de quel amour s'agit-il?

Assurément, la voie du juste milieu ne peut souffrir d'aucune exclusions, car trouvant sa position par rapport aux extrêmes, aux opposées, aux complémentaires.

Voie du juste milieu qui tout en étant l'unité est aussi tout les aspects perçu de l'infini.

Soit se perdre dans les ténèbres du monde matériel, soit se perdre dans le monde de l'infini, je ne peux m'y résigner, c'est du pareil au même!

Trouver la voie du juste milieu et ne plus jamais sombrer, revenir à la simplicité enfantine exprimant candidement l'être, l'âme, Soi.

Cette voie du juste milieu, cette voie de l'amour, l'unité des complémentaires, élargissement, ouverture de la conscience, révélation de l'unité dans toutes pluralités…

Si je ne peux le trouver, cette voie, cet amour, cette harmonie, au moins pourrais-je percer ma propre voie au sein de la forêt des erreurs… mon espoir en m'y engageant, est qu'il y ait un au-delà de cette forêt…

the real meaning for the wizard of OZ (repost)

THE REAL MEANING OF THE WIZARD OF OZ - NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK

Posted By: RayelansMailbag
Date: Tuesday, 25 December 2007, 12:25 a.m.

From a reader:

This examination of the subtext of "The Wizard Of Oz" was recently sent to me. Because it's so damn interesting and because there is so much more, I have added to it (see bottom of email). For those of you who have never heard of this take on this classic story, do take the time to check it out. There is far too much for it all to be just a coincidence. That is, unless you're a "coincidence theorist." bwh

The Real Meaning Of "The Wizard of Oz"

"The Wizard of Oz," written by L. Frank Baum, is not a mere child's story.

What is "Oz" a symbol for? Ounces. What is measured in ounces? Gold. What is
the yellow brick road? Bricks or ingot bars of gold.
The character known as the Straw Man represents that fictitious, ALL CAPS, legal
fiction - a PERSON, the Federal U.S. Government created
with the same spelling as your birth name. Remember what the Straw Man wanted
from the Wizard of Oz? A Brain! No juristic person - legal
fiction - paper corporation has a brain because he/she has no breath of life.
What did he get in place of a brain? A certificate: a Birth Certificate for a
new legal creation. He was proud of his new legal status, plus all the other
legalisms he was granted. Now he becomes the epitome of the brainless sack of
straw who was given a certificate in place of a grain of common sense.

Now, what about the Tin Man? Does Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) recall
anything to mind? The poor TIN Man just stood there mindlessly doing his work
until his body literally froze up and stopped functioning. He worked himself to
death because he had neither heart nor soul. He's the heartless and emotionless
creature robotically carrying out his daily task as though he were already dead.
He's the ox pulling the plow and the mule toiling under the yoke. These days,
his task masters just oil him nightly with beer and place him in front of a
hypnotic television until his very existence no longer has any meaning or value.
His masters keep him cold on the outside and heartless on the inside in order to
control any emotion or feeling that might arise.

The Cowardly Lion was always too frightened to stand up for himself. Of
course, he was a bully and a big mouth when it came to picking on those smaller
than he. (Have you ever noticed how bullies are really the biggest cowards?
They act as though they have great courage, but, in reality, have none at all.
They roar, but with no teeth of authority to back them up.) When push came to
shove, the Cowardly Lion always buckled under and whimpered when anyone of any
size or stature challenged him. He wanted courage from the Grand Wizard, so he
was awarded a medal of "official" recognition. Now, although remaining a coward,
his official status allowed him to be a bully, but with officially recognized
authority. (He's not unlike the Attorneys who hide behind the Middle Courts of
the Temple Bar.) et al ad infinitum.

What about the trip through the field of poppies? Did you notice how this had
no narcotic effect on the Straw Man (no brain) or the Tin Man (no heart or
soul)? They weren't real people, so drugs could not influence them. The Wizard
of Oz was written at the turn of the century, so how could the author have known
America was going to be drugged? The Crown has been playing the drug cartel game
for centuries. Just look up the history of Hong Kong and the Opium Wars. The
Crown already had valuable experience conquering all of China with drugs, so why
not the rest of the world? What was the Emerald City? The Federal Reserve
System.

Who finally exposed the Wizard for what he really was? Toto, the ugly (or
cute, depending on your perspective) and somewhat annoying little dog. Toto
means "in total, all together; Latin in toto." What was it that the witch wanted
after she alleged that the little dog had bitten her? TOTO. ... everything.
Notice how Toto was not scared of the Great Wizard's theatrics, yet he was so
small in size, compared to the Wizard, that no one seemed to notice him? The
smoke, flames and holographic images of Oz were designed to frighten people into
doing as the Great Wizard commanded. Toto simply padded over, looked behind the
curtain (the COURT, etc.), saw it was a scam, started barking until others paid
attention to him and came to see what all the barking was about. Who was behind
the curtain? Just an ORDINARY PERSON controlling the levers that created the
illusion of the Great Wizard's power and authority. When Toto pulled back the
curtain and completely exposed him, the charade
was at an end. (The veil hiding the corporate legal fiction and its false
courts was removed.) The Wizard's game was UP. What was he after all? .... a
con-man. A FRAUD.

We can see, in this tale, just how loud the bark from a little dog can be. How
bout YOUR bark? How big is it? Most of us remain silent and wait to be given
whatever food and recognition, if any, by our legal master. Let us not forget
those pesky flying monkeys. What perfect mythical creatures to represent the Bar
Association Attorneys who attack and control the little people for the Great
Crown Wizard, the powerful and grand Bankers of Oz: GOLD! How, finally, was the
evil witch destroyed? .... pure, clean water LIQUIDATION! How, at last, did
Dorothy get home? She simply clicked her heels. She always had the power, and SO
DO WE! What would it take to expose the Wizard for what he is, tearing away his
veils? We each need only a brain, a heart and soul --- and COURAGE. Then, and
perhaps of the greatest
importance, we need to learn HOW to WORK TOGETHER. Only "in TOTO," WORKING
TOGETHER as ONE Body of the King of Kings, (whatever name or form that may take
for each of us), can we have the freedom given to us.
Thought this would be refreshing in light of this continual topic and need for
resolution.

ADDITION (bwh)

Also, note that Dorothy did not have a mother or father reference... i.e. no sense of who she was or from where her direct heritage came. In this case, Dorothy's legal guardian was obscurely named Aunt "Em" or "M" for money. That means that money was her "legal tender." Get the double meaning? Even James Bond has to answer to "M." And, who is "M's" secret-ary? Miss Moneypenny. And speaking of money, "tin" was a term for valueless coins back in the day. So, "Tinman" had more than one meaning as the value of our money was degenerating once the Fed came along and produced coins with little or no gold or silver in them and nothing with "witch" to back them.

Let's also not forget that the Wicked Witch of the "West" represented the bankers of the New World (America) who would control its resources and people legally (flying monkeys) and psychotropically (poppies). Dorothy's house (equity) landed upon and killed the Witch of the "East," representing a false sense of security that people from Europe felt when they trekked to the New World. Note how the "little people" began singing Dorothy's praises when she accidentally killed one of the "banking" witches. But, wait. This Witch was from the East, the Old World. So, again a reminder of their false sense of security through song.

Though, to her benefit, what often protected Dorothy throughout her journey was the ruby slippers, which were previously in the possession of the late Witch of the East. In Baum's original story written at the turn of the century, Dorothy's shoes were silver. In other words, she was backed by silver and, therefore, protected against anything that might come her way. The shoes always kept their value and strength even against a scary new banker (or witch in this case). Interestingly, the movie was made just shortly after the Great Depression, which included the government's vicious "gold grab" on behalf of the bankers and wall street.

Further, what was it that awakened the "organics" (Dorothy, the Lion and Toto) in the poppy field? Glenda, the (supposed) good witch covered them in snow. Snow? Nah! It was cocaine (actually a legal stimulant at the time and in Coke, of course), which worked against the effects of the poppy-based opium. Therefore, Glenda is also a ruse of so-called benevolence regardless of the legality of cocaine at the time (we've seen its effects today).

And, notice at the end of the film, this "good" witch knew the secret that would get Dorothy home all along, but didn't tell her right away. What a bitch! Perhaps, this was Glenda's way of having Dorothy learn her own lesson. But, as stated previously, the prizes given by the newly humbled wizard were themselves ruses... ersatz representations of cures and freedoms. So, this journey, or lesson, was ultimately futile.

At the end, the wizard, once he is forced to admit his trickery and subsequently provides his empty gifts, he is not even "charged" by "the people" of the land. He is forgiven and let go to fly away (escape) in a balloon of all things. My guess is that, no matter how often "we the people" maintain vigilance to uproot these banking night crawlers, the message here is that, because of our naiveté, one of them always gets away to start the vicious financial cycle all over again in some New World.

At the end, Dorothy discovers that it was all a dream, "witch" means that whatever lesson she learned she did so while asleep.

And now, here's the really, really big one that might be difficult even for those who already acknowledge the financial subtext of the story to digest. "Hollywood" was created and commissioned by the Illuminati for the purposes of social engineering and mass thought control. Knowing this, note that the desired look and effect that the filmmakers chose for the wizard to use in order to intimidate and scare "the people" into submission was, in fact, quite...

REPTILIAN.

CHEROKEE WISDOM

TWO WOLVES

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said:
"My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealously, sorrow, egret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superority and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:

"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied:

"The one you feed."

Who is Anhk/Tho/Ra?
Category: MySpace

It is just another name to point to who I am. Giving myself another name on myspace.com do not mean I am different from who I use to be under my previous name, this name too was only a curtain to my usual identity.

This new name I gave to myself is derived from tree distinct words, Anhk, Tho (pronounced zho) and ra; tree words, tree sounds, tree meaning set into one, all originating from the Ancient Egyptian civilization.

For those versed in the mystical techniques of sacred vowels, this name, its meaning could be translate as «the regeneration of life in its activity». Of course, it can have many other meanings as well, depending on the peculiar sensitivity of the reader.

Probably, many of my friends will find this new name quite exotic and unusual, but contrary to Emanation of Love (a friend to me on myspace.com) witch is a translation of «OM», I did not felt inclined call myself: «transmutation of poison into elixir»…

Dave is no more, now I Anhk/Tho/Ra, but I am still the same. To me, this change of name on myspace.com is similar to the principle of reincarnation, I am still the same but now have a new name, a new personality.

Love,

D.

snowflakes and heaven
Current mood: calm
Category: Writing and Poetry

All the planets in the heaven
May shed the vibes upon me
Good or bad
It all depends on me
To see it so or so

I listen to their music
I gaze their lights in the night
Every night I gaze
Especially Venus and mercury
Before the sun rise

I wait for the moon when she is gone
For her to come back
Bit by bits
Over the trees
Next to the railroad track

I don't live much in the Sun
I live mostly in the night
I reverse of the many
Who work and do all day
In the traffic jam listening to the weather repports.

Today it snowed
And there is more to come tonight
Millions of snowflakes falling
all like stars of the night
Will light up in the beam
Under the lamp posts
As I if
The heaven had decided to pay a visit
To the circling earth
Were I stand to watch.

"We won’t take it anymore!"
Current mood: cheerful
Category: News and Politics

"We won't take it anymore!"

October 27, 2007 City & County Building Salt Lake City, Utah

Address by Mayor Ross C. "Rocky" Anderson

Today, as we come together once again in this great city, we raise
our voices in unison to say to President Bush, to Vice President
Cheney, to other members of the Bush Administration (past and
present), to a majority of Congress, including Utah's entire
congressional delegation, and to much of the mainstream media: "You
have failed us miserably and we won't take it any more."

While we had every reason to expect far more of you, you have been
pompous, greedy, cruel, and incompetent as you have led this great
nation to a moral, military, and national security abyss." "You have
breached trust with the American people in the most egregious ways.
You have utterly failed in the performance of your jobs. You have
undermined our Constitution, permitted the violation of the most
fundamental treaty obligations, and betrayed the rule of law.

You have engaged in, or permitted, heinous human rights abuses of
the sort never before countenanced in our nation's history as a
matter of official policy. You have sent American men and women to
kill and be killed on the basis of lies, on the basis of shifting
justifications, without competent leadership, and without even a
coherent plan for this monumental blunder.

We are here to tell you: We won't take it any more!

You have acted in direct contravention of values that we, as
Americans who love our country, hold dear. You have deceived us in
the most cynical, outrageous ways. You have undermined, or allowed
the undermining of, our constitutional system of checks and balances
among the three presumed co-equal branches of government. You have
helped lead our nation to the brink of fascism, of a dictatorship
contemptuous of our nation's treaty obligations, federal statutory
law, our Constitution, and the rule of law.

Because of you, and because of your jingoistic false 'patriotism,'
our world is far more dangerous, our nation is far more despised, and
the threat of terrorism is far greater than ever before. It has been
absolutely astounding how you have committed the most horrendous
acts, causing such needless tragedy in the lives of millions of
people, yet you wear your so-called religion on your sleeves,
asserting your God-is-on-my-side nonsense - when what you have done
flies in the face of any religious or humanitarian tradition. Your
hypocrisy is mind-boggling - and disgraceful.

What part of "Thou shalt not kill" do you not understand? What part
of the "Golden rule" do you not understand? What part of "be honest,"
"be responsible," and "be accountable" don't you understand? What
part of "Blessed are the peacekeepers" do you not understand?

Because of you, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed,
many thousands of people have suffered horrendous lifetime injuries,
and millions have been run off from their homes. For the sake of our
nation, for the sake of our children, and for the sake of our
brothers and sisters around the world, we are morally compelled to
say, as loudly as we can, 'We won't take it any more!' "

As United States agents kidnap, disappear, and torture human beings
around the world, you justify, you deceive, and you cover up. We find
what you have done to men, women and children, and to the good name
and reputation of the United States, so appalling, so unconscionable,
and so outrageous as to compel us to call upon you to step aside and
allow other men and women who are competent, true to our nation's
values, and with high moral principles to stand in your places - for
the good of our nation, for the good of our children, and for the
good of our world.

In the case of the President and Vice President, this means
impeachment and removal from office, without any further delay from a
complacent, complicit Congress, the Democratic majority of which
cares more about political gain in 2008 than it does about the
vindication of our Constitution, the rule of law, and democratic
accountability.It means the election of people as President and Vice
President who, unlike most of the presidential candidates from both
major parties, have not aided and abetted in the perpetration of the
illegal, tragic, devastating invasion and occupation of Iraq. And it
means the election of people as President and Vice President who will
commit to return our nation to the moral and strategic imperative of
refraining from torturing human beings.

In the case of the majority of Congress, it means electing people
who are diligent enough to learn the facts, including reading
available National Intelligence Estimates, before voting to go to
war. It means electing to Congress men and women who will
jealously guard Congress's sole prerogative to declare war. It
means electing to Congress men and women who will not submit like
vapid lap dogs to presidential requests for blank checks to engage
in so-called preemptive wars, for legislation permitting
warrantless wiretapping of communications involving US citizens,
and for dangerous, irresponsible, saber-rattling legislation like
the recent Kyl- Lieberman amendment.

We must avoid the trap of focusing the blame solely upon President
Bush and Vice-President Cheney. This is not just about a few people
who have wronged our country - and the world. They were enabled by
members of both parties in Congress, they were enabled by the
pathetic mainstream news media, and, ultimately, they have been
enabled by the American people - 40% of whom are so ill-informed they
still think Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks - a people who know and
care more about baseball statistics and which drunken starlets are
wearing underwear than they know and care about the atrocities being
committed every single day in our name by a government for which we
need to take responsibility.

As loyal Americans, without regard to political partisanship -- as
veterans, as teachers, as religious leaders, as working men and
women, as students, as professionals, as businesspeople, as public
servants, as retirees, as people of all ages, races, ethnic origins,
sexual orientations, and faiths -- we are here to say to the Bush
administration, to the majority of Congress, and to the mainstream
media: "You have violated your solemn responsibilities. You have
undermined our democracy, spat upon our Constitution, and engaged in
outrageous, despicable acts. You have brought our nation to a point
of immorality, inhumanity, and illegality of immense, tragic,
unprecedented proportions."

But we will live up to our responsibilities as citizens, as
brothers and sisters of those who have suffered as a result of the
imperial bullying of the United States government, and as moral
actors who must take a stand: And we will, and must, mean it when
we say 'We won't take it any more.

If we want principled, courageous elected officials, we need to be
principled, courageous, and tenacious ourselves. History has
demonstrated that our elected officials are not the leaders - the
leadership has to come from us. If we don't insist, if we don't
persist, then we are not living up to our responsibilities as
citizens in a democracy - and our responsibilities as moral human
beings. If we remain silent, we signal to Congress and the Bush
administration - and to candidates running for office - and to the
world - that we support the status quo.

Silence is complicity. Only by standing up for what's right and
never letting down can we say we are doing our part. Our
government, on the basis of a campaign we now know was entirely
fraudulent, attacked and militarily occupied a nation that posed
no danger to the United States. Our government, acting in our
name, has caused immense, unjustified death and destruction.

It all started five years ago, yet where have we, the American
people, been? At this point, we are responsible. We get together once
in a while at demonstrations and complain about Bush and Cheney,
about Congress, and about the pathetic news media. We point fingers
and yell a lot. Then most people politely go away until another
demonstration a few months later.

How many people can honestly say they have spent as much time
learning about and opposing the outrages of the Bush administration
as they have spent watching sports or mindless television programs
during the past five years? Escapist, time-sapping sports and insipid
entertainment have indeed become the opiate of the masses. Why is
this country so sound asleep? Why do we abide what is happening to
our nation, to our Constitution, to the cause of peace and
international law and order? Why are we not doing all in our power to
put an end to this madness?

We should be in the streets regularly and students should be
raising hell on our campuses. We should be making it clear in
every way possible that apologies or convoluted, disingenuous
explanations just don't cut it when presidential candidates and so
many others voted to authorize George Bush and his neo-con buddies
to send American men and women to attack and occupy Iraq.

Let's awaken, and wake up the country by committing here and now to
do all each of us can to take our nation back. Let them hear us
across the country, as we ask others to join us: "We won't take it
any more!"

I implore you: Draw a line. Figure out exactly where your own moral
breaking point is. How much will you put up with before you say "No
more" and mean it?

I have drawn my line as a matter of simple personal morality: I
cannot, and will not, support any candidate who has voted to fund the
atrocities in Iraq. I cannot, and will not, support any candidate who
will not commit to remove all US troops, as soon as possible, from
Iraq. I cannot, and will not, support any candidate who has supported
legislation that takes us one step closer to attacking Iran. I
cannot, and will not, support any candidate who has not fought to
stop the kidnapping, disappearances, and torture being carried on in
our name.

If we expect our nation's elected officials to take us seriously,
let us send a powerful message they cannot misunderstand. Let them
know we really do have our moral breaking point. Let them know we
have drawn a bright line. Let them know they cannot take our
support for granted - that, regardless of their party and
regardless of other political considerations, they will not have
our support if they cannot provide, and have not
provided,principled leadership.

The people of this nation may have been far too quiet for five
years, but let us pledge that we won't let it go on one more day -
that we will do all we can to put an end to the illegalities, the
moral degradation, and the disintegration of our nation's
reputation in the world.

Let us be unified in drawing the line - in declaring that we do
have a moral breaking point. Let us insist, together, in
supporting our troops and in gratitude for the freedoms for which
our veterans gave so much, that we bring our troops home from
Iraq, that we return our government to a constitutional democracy,
and that we commit to honoring the fundamental principles of human
rights.

In defense of our country, in defense of our Constitution, in
defense of our shared values as Americans - and as moral human
beings - we declare today that we will fight in every way possible
to stop the insanity, stop the continued military occupation of
Iraq, and stop the moral depravity reflected by the kidnapping,
disappearing, and torture of people around the world.

Élargissement du champ de la conscience
Category: Religion and Philosophy

C'est un fait avéré que la recherche et l'obtention d'un plus haut degré de conscience mènent à des notions plus impersonnelles de la relation de soi au Tout. Par exemple, si vous considérez vos joies et vos peines à la mesure de ce que d'autres éprouvent au sein de leurs propres existences, vous conclurez probablement à un sens relatif du sens de vos expériences.

La grande difficulté pour celui qui recherche à élargir le champ de sa conscience se résume à pouvoir assumer une place impersonnelle en tant que perle de conscience sur le fil de la vie. Autrement dit, vivre avec la conscience que nous sommes un centre parmi d'autres centre, un ego parmi d'autre ego.

S'il est relativement aisé d'élargir son champ de conscience dans la solitude d'une méditation profonde, le maintien de cet état de conscience au sein de la vie de tout les jours constitue un défit de taille pour quiconque tente l'expérience. En effet, la technique de la méditation vise à fermer les portes des cinq sens objectif pour n'«être» conscient que du seul sens de soi. Ce contact avec soi est de nature intime, subjectif et éminemment personnel. La méditation permet de se souvenir d'une expérience de soi au-delà des cinq sens, expérience qui doit nous faire réaliser que le fait humain repose sur cette base unique.

Vivre dans le monde, c'est être ouvert et en contact avec tout les «soi» distincts de «soi-même». Vivre dans le monde et être dans le courrant de la vie de tout les jours, c'est réaliser qu'une part de la réalité du «soi» se trouve dans la distinction du «soi» par le »non-soi».

Ainsi, l'élargissement de la conscience ne s'effectue pas uniquement dans l'un ou l'autre des sphères du «soi» mais au sein des deux sphères, celle qui est propre à la technique de la méditation et l'autre qui est celle de la vie de tout les jours.

L'un des pivot majeur autour duquel tourne l'état de la Paix Profonde réside spécifiquement dans la réalisation que nous vivons dans un univers de conscience absolu et que nos expériences personnelles sont absolument relatives. Autrement dit, peu importent ce que nous éprouvons, que ce soit bonheur ou malheur, se états de conscience spécifiques n'ont de réalité que parce que nous existons. Réalisation qui nous mène à réaliser que nous n'avons pas toujours existé et qu'un jour, nous allons mourir et disparaître; donc ne plus êtres en mesure d'éprouver soit le bonheur ou le malheur.

Cette simple possibilité de réalisation consciente de notre nature fini, mortel et sensible au monde et à la vie est l'indice royal de la présence de l'âme, qui elle est immortelle, mais insensible au bonheur ou au malheur. Autrement dit, l'âme est Le «soi», l'unique sens rencontré au moment de nos méditations profondes. Ainsi, tout ce qui est «non-soi» se résume à la présence occulte de l'âme qui est semblable à la nôtre.

Vivre notre vie de tout les jour c'est assumer notre part de l'âme dans son contact avec elle-même. Notre vie personnelle dans la vie de tout les jours est une part de la méditation de l'âme dans son contact avec elle-même. Réaliser que notre vie personnelle est une part de la vie impersonnelle de l'âme et trouver en cela réconfort et paix est l'indice d'un véritable élargissement de la conscience.

Bien au contraire de dissoudre la personnalité, d'effacer l'ego, de devenir comme un légume spirituel et inaffecté par la vie matérielle, cette relation à l'unité de l'âme conduit à une perception toujours plus personnelle et originale du sens de la Vie.

La plus belle expérience de l'élargissement de la conscience se trouve dans l'amour, dans la relation amoureuse, ce qui lie deux individu l'un à l'autre par la force de leurs sentiments. L'amour est la clé qui peut ouvrir le portail de l'illumination, mais pour que l'amour puisse réaliser son utilité, encore faut-il trouver le portail ou cette clé saura accomplir son opération.

Destiny and the crossroad
Current mood: good
Category: Blogging

I don't remember who said it, but he wrote that you «can judge a man's actions, but not the ma itself».

In an ideal world, choices should be based on principles, then on law and at last, on circumstances. But in the real world, most of our choices are made by instincts, feelings upon circumstances. It is not difficult to realize it is still the best way to survive in our fast paced lives, but it is odd to feel we are struggling to survive in this world of plenty.

But this blog is about destiny and crossroads, not about how furiously fast we are driven by rhythm of our age. Most people think of destiny as something exterior of themselves, weather divine, karmic of magical. But in fact, destiny is just a set point we gave to ourselves and when destiny seems to strike it is only that circumstances made the thing happen, as an unsuspected response to our desires, ideal or hopes.

Too many people are fatalistic about their lives, and when one refers to destiny, it is mostly said on a fatalistic way… We were bound to meet, or he was destined to be a great man/woman, etc,. Being fatalistic, is a way of denying the fact that; we do exercise our ability to choose what's so ever the circumstances. We choose all the time, but all our choices are not in the field of our consciousness. If there is a source to the illusion of fatalistic destiny, it is in the real of unconsciousness.

When a crossroad is in sight, we then know we will have to make a choice. Every one of us had, at some point of their lives, to make such a choice. One way or the other, the known or the unknown? The right or the left. Should I stay or should I go as the song goes.

Crossroads are moment in our lives to light up unconscious ideas of a peculiar field of existence. Being at a crossroad, confront us to the shadows of our past, the fear of the unknown the perpetual challenge to adapt to the ongoing transformation of the Creation. It is our choices that matter, not the circumstances that brought us to a crossroad.

I encourage you to be bold and honest with yourselves when confronted to hard choices, since these two virtues are essential to keep the steer of your life on the conscious level. By realizing you are always free to make choices, by being bold and honest, destiny will not sound fatalistic to you anymore, nor it will make you feel as a victim or transform you as a predator. Slowly but steadily, fears will vanish from your mind and every circumstance will become opportunities to choose again and again.

When facing a crossroad, don't think of it as the last one, but always as another one on your path. Learning on the path is in direct filiations with the awareness of our past choices and opportunities that were given.

WE

Did you ever get to the point of serenity next to the loved one?
Just being together, being next to, close, warm, cherished?
Just being one, felling the self, in silence, calmness, peacefully?
To have no needs, no hunger, no emptiness to fill?
Did it matter?
Why?
There are no needs to answer the «why» actually,
because we know that just being there,
as one,
is the answer.

she

I am a man and she!
we form a band
but our music is
that of love
is that it?

or I am deceiving myself
whit hopes and would beliefs?
or my heart telling me well
of what can't be put it in words?

If love is sacred river
flowing form her heart to mine
then from the bottom of it
to its surface
joy and happiness
be it's price!
