The Principle of Vibration
It is no longer appropriate to think only in terms of even my nation or my country, let alone my village. If we are to overcome the problems we face, we need what I have called a sense of universal responsibility rooted in love and kindness for our human brothers and sisters.In our present state...
Sacred Key
The remembrance of the sacred is a key that can awaken our consciousness to the oneness to which we belong… The greatest tragedy of modern man is that we have lost this primal awareness, this knowing of the sacred. Through this simple act of remembrance we can regain the balance we have so dangerously lost....
The Rising
On the day when The weight deadens On your shoulders And you stumble, May the clay dance To balance you. And when your eyes Freeze behind The grey window And the ghost of loss Gets into you, May a flock of colours, Indigo, red, green And azure blue, Come to awaken in you A meadow...
Aion
Nature is the great teacher, the book of life to be read and understood. That’s why it is important not just to protect the natural world, but to guide it to the highest level of perfection. Our task as spiritual people is to foster an intimate bond between the world of nature–rivers, mountains, oceans, animals,...
The Nature of Peace
Blessed are those who have confessed their erring ways, who have asked for forgiveness. Blessed are those whose burdens have been lifted, who are able to respond with love. For the Beloved walks with them and speaks to them in the Silence; With mercy and compassion, they are held in Love’s heart; All who are...
Beyond The Sea
Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement, get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed. Abraham Joshua Heschel
Solar Reflection
In the name of daybreak and the eyelids of morning and the wayfaring moon and the night when it departs, I swear I will not dishonour my soul with hatred but offer myself humbly as a guardian of nature, as a healer of misery, as a messenger of wonder, as an architect of peace. Diane...
Sacred Ground
I have learned to treat my garden as the sacred place it is and it continually nourishes me both in body and in spirit. Earth is sacred too, and whatever we do to her will come back to us many times over. If we treat her as merely a resource and a place to throw...
The Transmuter
The Divine Mystery is not a collection of problems. As the mystics keep chanting, there is a light so bright that it blinds us, that we are bound to experience it as darkness. To become intimate with it, we have to “unknow” worldly knowledge. We have to give up our tendency to treat it as we...
The Transcendence
Expand until you cannot feel a sense of the confines of your body. Become space. All passes through you. Now you can see, know and feel ALL of Spirit. Leave the realm of ordinary senses and become the All of it. This is where you will find peace. The more often you do this, the...
Antila
Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life. Breath in and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe; breath out and bring the cosmos back inside. Next, breathe up all the fecundity and vibrancy of the earth....
Calliope
Again and again I’ve taken quick glances and then for some reason I’ve got to sit before a picture, waiting….. and it’s opened up like one of those Japanese flowers that you put in water and something I thought wasn’t worth more than a casual glance begins to open up depth after depth of meaning! ...
