No Fear!

NO FEAR!















We walk alone along the desolate avenues so blind
Concealed by our flesh, superficial beauty
The ego and the age of time

Beyond that, hidden within the walls we find
A private property resides
Thoughts misconstrued in the complexities of our mind

At times a shadow falls like a veil of doom
Like a wretched prisoner shackled
In the darkness of a unearthly tomb

We wallow, longing to be free of this life
Fears grow like a rapid disease of discomfort
Until we become aware, we then see the light

It is with awareness that we can face our fears
For spiritual strength is beyond all this world
Fears are nothing but past experiences over the years

Were we to let go of our fear
We would feel the safety of Gods hands
And the whispers of His Love we would hear.

Fear is Limiting!

Quotes on Fear:

James Thurber:
Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
Jane Addams:
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.
Louisa May Alcott:
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
-->
Marcus Aurelius:
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Marianne Williamson: This is my favourite
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.This entry continued ...

Marie Curie:
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Marilyn Ferguson:
Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom.

Sit beneath my bower.

Sit beneath my bower

Let the dawn break in my deepest dream night
Lift my vision rise to exhilarating heights
Let me gaze upon the greatest Mystic with starry eyes
That sparkles and dazzles throughout the cosmic skies
The wind will blow with laughter chasing the tail of a breeze
Spiralling round and round the majestic evergreen trees
Gently the branches twist and bend, in love they sway
The brilliance of the sun shines through to lead the way
Sit with me my darling and ponder beneath my bower
Whilst we pass away more of the non physical hour
Let me cradle you within the warmth of my soul
We are Sacred fragments of the eternal Divine whole
Mystic you have placed me in this enchanted warm trance.
Take my hand to commence our long perpetual love dance
Join me in the beauty of my dream for it is alive.

For it is you my beloved that has given me strength to survive.

my own drawing interpretation of The Mystic

Quotes on Mystics

Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.

“An enchanted world is one that speaks to the soul, to the mysterious depths of the heart and imagination where we find value, love, and union with the world around us. As mystics of many religions have taught, that sense of rapturous union can give a”
Thomas More quotes

“I have sought love because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven the saints and poets have imagined”
Bertrand Russell quotes

Street Children of Calcutta

The children of Calcutta, 50,000 of them on the street

Wandering hopelessly hungry, half naked in bare feet

Born of poor families, runaway from home

To escape emotional abuse ... to be free to be alone

They have been beaten and tortured, abused and bruised

Forced to live a life of uncertainty, misused and confused

Like sheep in a field of waste and grime

Tarnished and stained, many live a life of crime

Hoping for a vital spark, a new breath of life

Instead of washing souls in the gutters of strife

What is the purpose of our Being when we allow this to take place

Is this what we present ourselves as the loving human race

Allow the Love of God in you to expand and arise

Listen to the weepin of their hearts, remove the tears from their eyes.

Be a Sentient Being.

Quotes on Gratitude

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude --Friedrich Nietzsche

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls --Aesop

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it --Richard Bach

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some. --Charles Dickens

A little something to ponder on.

Quotes

Anne Frank:
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

Bonaro W. Overstreet:
Perhaps the most important thing we can undertake toward the reduction of fear is to make it easier for people to accept themselves, to like themselves.

Don Miguel Ruiz:
Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Dorothy Thompson:
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
Dorothy Thompson:
The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness.
Dorothy Thompson:
There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.

May you all have a wonderful weekend. Hugs for everyone. :o)

In Search

The lady journeyed from afar
In search for the Truths reservoir
The Mystic came with rose in hand
Like a cloak of love as destiny planned
He took the lady’s hand and led her ashore
The quest of love and life he did restore
He gave her pearls from the depths of the ocean
Flames of love within her heart was set in motion
As they made love in the celestial sky
And eternity unhurriedly passed them by
The moon shone a grace of ice cold light
As the stars sparkled in the velvet of the night
Tears that glistened in her eyes he did gently wipe away
Their love grew with each conceived light of the dawning day
The lady and the Mystic live their life by the beauty of ancient laws
Intoxicated by the dance of love they Spiral through Heavens doors
Hand in hand their star merges into eternity.

A pondering Sufi message on yesterdays post

Pondering

Sufi Message

Rather than wanting to master others, therefore, let us start by working on ourselves. Let us stop wondering what others could do for us, but rather ask ourselves what we could do for others. What could we really do for others? This question is already answered when we realize that the first effort to be made is to vanquish our own shortcomings, doubts, fears and worries, and to put into practice the basic principles of love, harmony and beauty, accommodating these to all circumstances.

Beggar or Prince?

Beggar or Prince?

I walk the littered and unswept streets of home

Every step I take in my silence amidst the drone

A face of joy, a face of weeping sorrow

Where will the bread come from the morrow?

The beggar free from attachments and worldly ways

Freedom is his whole life a lonely soul that strays

Amongst the men of rich and opulent suits

Adorned with garbage, money their tasteless fruits

The drunk intoxicated lost days of illusions

Sailing on a sea of empty bottles with no conclusions

The man with a drug filled syringe shooting highs

Whilst his inner soul glances, weeps and cries

He is a lost and lonely soul that roams the land

Reaching out for the highest spiritual helping hand

Not really knowing what is within that is so profound

A past memory hidden patiently waiting to be found

We are all roses in this great world of tormented and twisted thorns

Respect for all our brothers and sisters that are here to be reborn

Let us remember that we do not know who the beggar is

Beneath the pain, he is the prince and Heaven is his.

Quotes:

“When you share your last crust of bread with a beggar, you mustn't behave as if you were throwing a bone to a dog. You must give humbly, and thank him for allowing you to have a part in his hunger.”
Funvini
Giovanni Guareschi quote

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God. Mother Teresa

It is a kingly act to assist the fallen. Mother Teresa

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish. Mother Teresa

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start. Mother Teresa

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go. Mother Teresa

Arthas Destiny ~ Loreena McKennitt

Dedicated to Master S.

A new day is dawning

There is this sudden eerie moment just before dawn, when everything is so still and silent. Then suddenly this part of the world starts to yawn. Stretching the expanse of the sky.
The dawning of the day.
A new day.
A new begining.
A child is born each moment.
Life!
The birds sing their song.
Let it be that we live life each moment.

Quotes:

“One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands alone and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unknown things happening until the East almost makes one cry out and one's heart stands still at the strange unchanging majesty of the rising of the sun—which has been happening every morning for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. One knows it then for a moment or so...”

Frances Burnett quotes

Whether I retire to bed early orlate, I rise with the sun.- Thomas Jefferson

Be yourself ...

Ponderings

We all want to be accepted for who we really are.
You do not have to be anything but yourself ... only change what you do not like about yourself, on doing so this will enhance your life. Everyone is a unique being. So be true to yourself and be yourself. Those who do not accept you for who you are ... Let go.

We can hurt our self by listening to the talking voice inside our mind, which can distort the real truth from us. Distortion can lead you to loosing your freedom.
Your feelings are real ... what we perceive causes emotions. Emotions causes reactions which is the effect. Thus, we make judgements upon our self and on others from what we believe.
Our judgments can be of hate, jealousy and selfishness.

Distortions we create in our mind ... which we believe to be true ... And are not, and thus, takes our freedom away from us.
We can abuse our self as much others can ... But even in the case of others abusing us in whatever way it is within the situation ... We can still turn that round should we choose to ignore it ... And instead believe in our self ... Faith and love. Forgiveness plays a huge part in healing and allowing clarity to enter our thoughts.

There seems to be a whole knock on effect when we choose to listen to lies about our self. If we believe them ... We become them. We can listen to people attentively ... but, we can choose not to believe what people say. If we allow it to seep into our minds ... And distort our dream ... We are then filled with emotions.
You will come across daily valid nourishment for you ... A gift ... If you are aware of it ... That you can choose to feed your soul. Valid nourishment will enhance your life ... Lies will not.
You can make that choice ... For you will know that truth just is.

I have chosen Love as an example ... It is here where we judge our self more. It is here where we constantly create more pain.

Every time I love, my heart is broken. This is not true, because nobody can break your heart if you love yourself. If your heart was broken in the past, you broke it with the lies you believed about love. Love makes you strong; selfishness makes you weak. Love doesn't hurt. What hurts is the fear, selfishness, and control that come from the lies you believe in. If you no longer believe in lies, automatically love starts coming out of you.

Emotional pain is a symptom of being abused; the pain is letting you know that you have to do something to stop the abuse. The emotions are the most important part of our dream because they are telling you how you are doing in your life. By following your emotions, you can change your circumstances.

Extract above by Don Miguel Ruiz The Voice of Knowledge

Just as in Spring new growth reaching out towards the light ... Choose to be free and grow towards love and BE ... BE YOURSELF

Quotes

Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.
Eckhart Tolle

Your seed has been covered with so many layers of culture, etiquitte, education, religion, country, that you have completely forgotten that you are here to grow, that you have become a lush green bush full of flowers, fragrance, dancing in the wind and in the rain and in the sun.
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Essence of Love

These recent days seem to span into each other

Like a river which flows into the sea

Only the moon and stars tell me the day has ended

And the sweetness of birds that chirp at dawn

tell me a new day has been born.

The blanket of the night covered me like the cloak of love

As I walked the streets of home
My breath and shadow took up company with me

Not leaving me alone

The black velvet space transfixed me

As if I was under the Illusionist, mystified and mesmerized

Gazing up at the stars that sparkled bright

Divine burts of spleandor in the sky

immortalized

Each sparkle carried the essence of your love.

I love you my Beloved.

Quotes on Stars

“When it is darkest, men see the stars.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes

“To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest”

“God's promises are like the stars; the darker the night the brighter they shine”
David Nicholas quotes

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

Harriet Tubman quotes

“The stars are the street lights of eternity.”

Natures Ways

How wonderful natures beauty can be
Reflecting God's sacred love for all to see
How grateful I am that I have eyes that can gaze
Upon the changing seasons ways
That I can feel the breeze, blowing in my hair
A feeling of freedom and free of care
To gaze upon a soft moving cloud
Towering white galleons that look so proud
Vivid visions of everything aglow
Comes the showers, then a colourful rainbow
Minstral of love delights the earth with a kiss
Upon the ever constant moving ocean of bliss

Quotes on nature.

Anne Frank:
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

Claude Monet:
The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration.

Galileo:
The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.

Henry David Thoreau:
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.


Luther Burbank:
A flower is an educated weed.

Make your dream a reality

Make your dream a reality

don't allow your fears

to enter and lead you into the abyss of self doubt

where your dream will dissolve into the sea of what might of been.

fear comes with a penalty

within the fear you feel safe

it is an illusion

because you lose your freedom

Let Love be your guide

actions is your safety

within the safe Hands of God

and gently allow your dream to unfold.

Live your dreams.

The journey of apathy is resolved by seeing the import, the journey of futility is resolved by seeing the value, and the journey of fear is resolved by seeing the strength within, for all fear is a fear that one is unable to deal with what is ahead. (Master S.)

Don Miguel Ruiz:
Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Dorothy Thompson:
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

Jane Addams:
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.

Dream Quotes

Anais Nin:
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Dom Helder Camara:
When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.

Henry David Thoreau:
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Hobbes (of Calvin and ...):
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time.

Anatole France:
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Walking and Climbing.

Sunday afternoon took me out with my camera.
Here it shows you how the moods of the weather changed from being still to vivacious and wild.

Blackstone Edge is a bleak rocky outcrop overlooking the Lancashire towns of Rochdale and Littleborough to the north east of the Manchester conurbation.
The A58 passes close by, en route from Halifax and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire's Bronte Country.

Sun trying to smile

through the clouds

that tumbled down

silently caressing the earth

like the Divine Lover

that gently strokes

the spine of the horizon

sitting on a rock

pondering and

gazing into the eyes of nature

a glimpse of the sun

and a sudden outburst of laughter

filled the heavens

the mood changed

and dropped a shroud

and bequethed us with a frown

Are we not like the moods of the weather?

Quotes:

It is one of the secrets of Nature in its mood of mockery that fine weather lays heavier weight on the mind and hearts of the depressed and the inwardly tormented than does a really bad day with dark rain sniveling continuously and sympathetically from a dirty sky. ~Muriel Spark, Territorial Rights, 1979

I like these cold, gray winter days. Days like these let you savor a bad mood.”
Bill Watterson quotes

Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.
George H. Allen (1922 - 1990)

Life! we've been long together, Through pleasant and through cloudy weather; 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear; Then steal away, give little warning; Choose thine own time; Say not 'Good-night'; but in some brighter clime Bid me 'Good-morning'.

Aikin Barbauld (1743 - 1825)

My favourite

Waves of a serene life pass over us from time to time, like flakes of sunlight over the fields in cloudy weather.
Henry David Thoreau

The Magic of Your Heart.

The above painting is the symbol of Sufism as Hazrat taught it is a "heart with wings." It is considered by many Sufis that the heart holds the key to consciously living life in the presence of God.
