creation is all about diversity

the rejection of self

missing the obvious

some lights never dim

“Spirituality is recognizing the divine light that is within us all.

 

It doesn’t belong to any particular religion;

 

It belongs to everyone”.

 

Muhammad Ali    who left our physical presence this day 4th June 2016.

A champion of truth.

media malpractice

some things don’t add up

words are so important

getting to know….you

 

Universal truth, from the plains of the Euphrates to the Colorado river

paying the bill

prejudice is a conditioned reflex

so many little gods

Video game religions

I have a lot of trouble understanding people whose ‘god’ seems to be some guy who is playing a vicious ‘shoot em up’ video game with humanity.

in being yourself

“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.” The Upanishads.

Even a flower knows this....and we see with what exquisite beauty and generosity of spirit a flower shares it's magnificence - without requiring reward other than simply being itself.

it is always the children…Lahore

who pay the most for the stupidity and downright criminality of misguided adults. Wasn’t Peshawar, wasn’t Beslan enough of a lesson? Don’t you realise that such atrocities simply alienate more people from you?

The loving hearts of people everywhere, irrespective of race or religion, reach out to the families,friends and peoples of Lahore at this tragic time.

a good concept

clarity

Let us be clear: actions done by criminals wearing a cloak of religion do not represent that religion.

 

Whilst,admittedly, some religions have some way to go in modernising their ethical and moral values to equal those of secular societies, it is unreasonable and grossly unfair to label those religions by the actions of a very very small minority of criminals.

This criminal activity is just as destructive to those religions as it is to the standards of secular society.

Brussels 22nd March 2016

A message to those who would bomb,kill and maim:

 

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
~ John Lennon

I do hope you will find a way to stop hating yourself so that you may come into the fullest knowledge that we are all one, what we do to others we do also to ourself. You have no hope for love in any future life if you have not discovered what love is in this life.

I’ve been a fan of this remarkable man for many years

heal the earth

Do you think there is a correlation between the increased pain the planet is feeling as a result of man-made actions and the rise in mental/emotional/psychological “dis-ease” in modern humans?  Is this maybe the start of the fullest empowerment of ‘the rainbow warriors who will heal the earth?’
