Are we in the eternal Dream?

eternal dream of the sleeping God by Peter Zelai

take a moment

to

pause

detatch

you

from the outside world

breathe

in

breathe

out

God is always with you.

Quotes

After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.”
Richard Dawkins quotes

“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”

Joss Whedon quotes

Thank you all for popping over. :o)

Ooooooooooops!

Feel free to write if this photograph evokes any feelings.

It is a place I love to go to alone

Away from the city and its drone

I love to walk alongside the waters edge

It makes me feel extremely privileged

That I am able to see this beauty, tempestuous scene

Wild, raging yet,

still

serene

Sometimes I sit on ancient rocks to ponder

on

Wonder

A lone seagull

Wings, gliding through the clouds and celestial sphere

in my eyes a small tear

A feeling so deep inside

an affection, presence, perception

Connection ...

Sorry folks for the lack of posting and commenting
I have my daughter home from abroad.
I don't want to seem anti-social. :o)
See you all in a couple of days

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

A moment to be

As the sun slowly bows his head at the end of the day
Gold and crimson hues smoulder in a striking array
The disc of life makes a final kiss to the land
Embracing upon the horizon of the desert sands
Flowers gently fold their velvet petals to rest
Birds on a wire fly to comforting nests
Our Divine Artisan paints the hours of the night
Angels travel within the streams of hallowed light
Darkness descends like a flowing timeless silken cloak
The face of the moonlight casts her mysterious shadows to evoke
The vortex of my complex mind
Stirring emotions of a delicate kind
Time to awaken as others all around you softly sleep
A moment to go beyond limitations and reach within deep
A glimpse of the Divine that resides in the heart
Reminding the self that we are never ever to be apart
A moment to be with the only One
A moment for Trinity and Neo
A moment for Love
and the soul to be united with the Whole.


Mythic Journeys: The Documentary



Quotes

The longest journey
Is the journey inwards
Of him who has chosen his destiny. Dag Hammarskjold.

The world is a traveler’s inn. Afghan saying.

You cannot travel the path until you have become the path. Gautam Buddha.

Comandini, Adele

The Dance of Life

Highlander you entered my dreams upon a lonely path
Holding a delicate red rose in your heart for me
Twas your soul a lantern of
gossamer light
That showed me the way
As you breathed into my mouth and gave me
life
Lips of nectar intoxicating

kissssssssssssss

Spiralling me throughout the expanse of the universe
Amongst the exuberant sparkling stars and back to earth

You caught me with your mystical and embracing glance
Whispering
"Awaken from your sleep my lovely angel"
It is time for our Dance

For travellers of Life, Love & Freedom

Space/Time/Matter by Deepak Chropra




The Unified Field by Deepak Chopra




Quotes

Human beings are made of body, mind and spirit. Of these, spirit is primary, for it connects us to the source of everything, the eternal field of consciousness.

Mystic of Love

Mystic of Love

The hours that pass in this timeless zone
Within the very depths of my heart
A place I am able to share with you alone
Gently touching your finger tips
Mystic of Love
Feeling you like a breeze upon my face
The softness of your kiss upon my lips
Whispering sands blowing in my hair
Mystic of Love
I long for a moments gaze from you
To feel your eyes walk through the doorway of my soul
To share the dance of love with you
I breathe you with every beat of my heart
Mystic of Love
I shall always embrace your heart in mine
You are my dawning of my awakening
You are those beautiful sunsets of crimsons and gold
You are those dreams forever I hold
I love you



Dedicated to Master S.

Quotes

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. Author: Soren Kierkegaard

All mystics speak the same language, for they come from the same country. Author: Louis Claude de St. Martin

“The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion”
Albert Einstein quotes

EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND
LONG WEEKEND HERE
BANK HOLIDAYS
:O)

no sleep

I could not sleep all night, no moonlight

No stars, just a blanket of dark clouds

My thoughts stumbled, stubborn resistance
Searching for my existence through torment

The air was so still, no stiring of silence

I listened and there was nothing.

For hours I gazed at the tree outside

No whispers, no rustling of leaves

No excitement for the mirror of my eyes

I looked for soft sand blowing in the breeze

The crest of a wave to sail upon beneath the warm sun

Sounds of Paradise birds in trees, cascading waterfalls

Tinkling of flower petals

Sweet fragrance in the air

I must of closed my eyes for a moment

so I had thought

Suddenly a new day was born

The sun came streaming through the window

Birds called morning to all

I had found a paradise

I heard the waterfall

The tap in the bathroom

Balancing Rocks

BALANCING ROCKS

I hope that you will all give this a go. The balancing of rocks is so beautiful ... it connects you ... with being. The above photograph is one my sculptures. I started two years ago making these rock sculptures wherever I went on holidays on the beach ... it is very stilling for the mind.

Quotes

“The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.”
Albert Einstein quotes

“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.”
Barbara De Angelis quotes

“Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.”
Brian Tracy quotes

love

To feel the love

of people whom we know

is a fire

that feeds our life.

But to feel the affection

that comes from those

we do not know

is

something still

greater and more beautiful

because it widens

the boundaries of our being

and unites all living things.

Pablo Neruda

The heart of You

The heart is such a delicate and beautiful place
Somewhere inside where

feelings emerge

a place where love grows

the red rose

a place where I Am

able to sense your heart within mine

trust the beating heart that gently

whispers

the secrets you can only hear

truth

of silent heavenly love


Quotes

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same

playfulness and acceptance of others.

Our family can bring us unity and strength.

Friends can give us a helping hand, a listening ear and laughter.

The people we meet each day, strangers can give us valuable lessons in life.

Friends left for new life!

I have fond memories of you
my friend you made me laugh
remember our walks of hope
taking an hour or two

you were like a breeze that entered the room
a room that was dull ~

suddenly, filled with life and light

stunningly beautiful

a spiritual rose unfolding under the sun

and then one day

a knock!

at the door of your soul
crucified by cancer
your body became frail and torn
as if you had been within a raging storm

you were strong you fought it all the way

alone

you cried

you knew you could not run or hide

I saw you a few days before
a tear in your eye
like a

pearl, we treasure in our minds and heart



"I came like water. and like the Wind I go." by omar khayyam


Thank you Jacquie for being my friend
I miss you.

Thoughts

There is a sacred place where one often goes
the air is hushed and silence flows

and out of the blue you fall within
as if you were a floating silver pin

it is here one connects with the Whole
a resting place for ones roaming soul

seek just a moment, away from your confusions
bring to a halt your thoughts that are intrusions

gently like the sun going down free your mind
focus on love and listen, be still and find

The Divine within you

Quotes:

"When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth."- Eckhart Tolle

"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the 'atomic age' - as in being able to remake ourselves."- Gandhi

"If you could get rid of yourself just once, the secret of secrets would open to you. The face of the unknown, hidden beyond the universe would appear on the mirror of your perception."- Rumi

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."- Peace Pilgrim

Acceptance of others, their looks, their behaviors, their beliefs, bring you an inner peace and tranquillity -- instead of anger and resentment."- Unknown

Pondering thoughts

To the questions of your life

you are the answer

To the problems of your life

you are the solutions.

by Jo Coudert

“You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.”
santiz
Jo Coudert quote

ooooopa sorry folk!

Sorry folks facing some busy days ... trying to get round.
Everyone have a wonderful day :o)

Hide behind the mask

In those special times
Have I not been like a blade of grass moving and bending gently in the breeze?
In those times when my ego was being bruised I still tried to please
Did I not try to make acceptance for my imperfections
Was I not happy to follow all your directions?
Did I not close my eyes and hold my tongue?
So as not to express any judgement when they were doing me wrong
Did I not try to look the other way with unseen tears in my eyes?
When truly it was only the Spirit that could hear my silent cries
As others laughed and ignored my shadow on the wall
In those times did I not try to walk with my head high and tall?
Did I not try to ignore the whispering of my name a thousand fold?
How alone I felt as if I were standing outside in the cold
Weaving your web to hold me down
I smiled with a mask the frown of a clown
I hid myself beneath the cloak of the night so that you could not see
How I long to be loved and long to set myself free
In my realization my error was to focus on you and your actions
When I should have been more aware of my re-actions
I thank you all for the opportunity that you have given me
As I travel forward on the spiritual life journey.

Beautiful Mind!

The camera of my mind can encapsulate an image in time
This thing we call time, fragmented into years, months, and days
Is nothing more than a temporal clock ticking away in life
Yet, the mind has a memory that holds a life-time of images,
It can invoke the very feeling of happiness or sadness that one may have felt so long ago
This is the wonder of mind.

Quotes:

“I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta quotes

“Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.”

A pondering thought

If you speak badly

of someone,

don't speak it,

but write it

in the sand

at the water's edge,

near the waves

Anonymous

Life is like a game of snakes and ladders

I have lived my life like a lottery
Tossing the dice on the ocean waves
Within the surge and swell of mockery

How wonderful it is to wake up and not know
Like a game of snakes and ladders
What life will bring you today, its your throw

What would life be if we knew our future?
Without trial and error, nor experiences
Bland, plain, no colour, nor magical conjure

Enjoy life it is a joy.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

"God’s dice always have a lucky roll

"The world is the house of the strong. I shall not know until the end what I have lost or won in this place, in this vast gambling den where I have spent more than sixty years, dicebox in hand, shaking the dice."- Denis Diderot (1713–1784) (Elements of Physiology, “Conclusion

"The gold-digger in the ravines of the mountains is as much a gambler as his fellow in the saloons of San Francisco. What difference does it make whether you shake dirt or shake dice? If you win, society is the loser."- Henry David Thoreau

do your best
God will do the rest





When walking in the afternoon sun
I came across an audience of flowers
Basking on the hillside
Sitting up in the stalls
The flowers laughed and giggled
As I sneaked by feeling like an intruder
I bowed at those sitting in the front seats
Face blushing from their glares.
Little spirits of nature

Sunset

In my silent stillness I gazed upon the sun setting inside my heart

And I knew that at last I could let this day descend into oblivion

A progression of events of discontent that had torn me apart

That had presented me lifeless and full of sadness

Who dared to attack my very beauty and challenge it to a duel?

Who dared to question the Universal rules of Love

I faced my perpetrators that chewed and gnawed at my emotions

As if they were thieving wolves, feasting on every morsel of my mind

I stood back for sometime and gazed into the recess of my soul

To suddenly become aware that the day was actually a process of learning

And although I had encountered discomforts up till my awareness

My beauty was not marred, nor scathe, but full of gratefulness

I had been given the chance to apply love, and forgivness to my day

And ultimately be at peace to catch the beautiful sun setting inside my heart.

Quotes:

“If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'”
Ann Landers quotes

“Trouble brings experience, and experience brings wisdom

Dusted with Dawns Beauty

The awakening of dawn opens a new chapter
Sleeping ambition comes to its close
The sun rises on the horizon of hope
Life errupts like the spleandor of a volcano
Flowers fill the air with their sweet fragrance;
Opening their petals to be embraced by the sun
Clocks tick madly in the fissures of your mind
Flashes of past problems demanding attention.
Stop in your tracks, do not miss the beauty of now
For NOW waits for no soul to decide its fate
Let your eyes absorb the visions present of passing beauty
Be in the present, presents is a gift from God
Dawning dusts the day with hope, love and beauty




“Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!”
Kalidasa quotes (Indian sanskrit poet and dramatist, 5th century ad


“The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.”

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
