I HAVE COME INTO THIS WORLD TO SEE THIS I have come into this world to see this: the sword drop from men's hands even at the height of their arc of anger because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound and it is His - the Christ's, our Beloved's. I have come into this world to see this: all creatures hold hands as we pass through this miraculous existence we share on the way to even a greater being of soul, a being of just ecstatic light, forever entwined and at play with Him. I have come into this world to hear this: every song the earth has sung since it was conceived in the Divine's womb and began spinning from His wish, every song by wing and fin and hoof, every song by hill and field and tree and woman and child, every song of stream and rock, every song of tool and lyre and flute, every song of gold and emerald and fire, every song the heart should cry with magnificent dignity to know itself as God: for all other knowledge will leave us again in ...

This video is very important to watch because this could be our future if we stand silent or inactive in the face of religious extremist of all faiths who think they have the right to impose their beliefs on those who do not agree with them. The same holds true for political extremist. How sad that we are just a few steps away from a theocracy or a dictatorship. Even sadder is the reality that many people all over the world are forced to live in that horrible reality NOW!

Draw Muhammad Day: Censorship, Sabotage, Threats & Murder The very real and dangerous problems with religious fanatics are not going to go away in our lifetime. Religious and for that matter political, authoritarian murdering manipulative extremists demand a response from all people of good will who believe in democracy, freedom of speech and the separation of religion and State. "For evil to triumph all good people have to do is nothing." That is a paraphrase. (smile) Don't do Nothing! The following article can be found by clicking the title above. Draw Muhammad Day: Censorship, Sabotage, Threats & Murder By Liam Fox NEWS JUNKIE POST May 20, 2010 at 12:06 am Print This Post Draw Muhammad Day is not an assault on Islam or Muslims, and certainly not on Arab people of any nation.

My experience with the Bon Po Tibetans has been so positive and healing that my heart is filled with love for them. I post this teaching in their honor. Although the Bon are similar to Tibetan Buddhism they are also uniquely themselves. They were the original religion before Buddhism came to Tibet and are much more shamanistic.They claim a lineage going back 18,000 years. I just know that every Bon Lama I have met has been loving, powerful and kind. That is why I am a Bon Po Sufi. (smile) Awakening to Anger By Ken McLeod A teacher, translator, and disciple of Kalu Rinpoche speaks with Tricycle about how the Tibetan lojong or “mind training” teachings can shift the soil in which anger grows Lojong is usually translated as “mind training,” but “mind refining” is also an accurate description. In the Mahayana tradition, mind training doesn’t try to “deal” with the problem of anger. The whole Mahayana bent is on dealing with the present. Anger is the fastest and probably the most powerful r...

I still very tired and weak but I am glad that the operation is on May 28th and than I can begin the recovery. This cancer thing really takes it out of me. I feel good for a few days and than BAM the little MF kicks my ass. O well such is life. (smile) At least no chemo or radiation this time thanks Goddess, inshAllah. The Chinese say, " the fires that burn the brightest burn out the soonest." I have been reflecting on this. It has a lot of resonance for so many different areas of life. I was recently looking into the nature of love and came upon this quote as a message from Goddess. I started thinking about amour fu (crazy passionate intense sudden love) compared to steady state love that evolves and build over a long stretch of time. Both have their beauty. I am glad to have experienced both. I make no judgement on either, I am just musing about love and appreciating it. I have been abundantly bl...essed by the quality of those I have loved and who have loved me. Thank You...
