PERCEPTION
A BROADENING OF THE PERSPECTIVE
AN EMBRACING OF THE SAMENESS
IN IT'S FULL VIBRATIONAL SPECTRUM

THE ELEVATOR.........

IN THE NARROW CONFINES OF AN ELEVATOR, AS THE MOVEMENT STANDS STILL AND ALL THAT CAN BE SEEN ARE THE CHANGING NUMBERS, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY THAT ONE IS COGNISANT OF THE FACT, THAT ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE, WHILE THE MIND SWITCHES OFF AND THE ATTENTION SPAN IS REDUCED TO THE MEREST TRICKLE, AS THE ATTIC FILLED RESERVOIR OF MEMORIES OF THE PAST ENGAGES ITSELF IN AN INTERNAL DIALOGUE, VACILLATING IN THE NARROW CONFINES OF A BELIEVED REALITY, AS THE DECISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ARE ARGUED, THE WORDS THAT WERE NOT SAID ARE SHOUTED OUT, REVERBERATING AND CAUSING THAT WARM FEELING OF SELF APPROVAL THAT A RESOLUTION HAS BEEN MADE TO A SITUATION, WHICH SO LONG AGO VANISHED, IS COMMENDABLE AND THEN THERE IS A SHIFT AND ALL RETURNS TO THE BEGINNING, WHILE THE GAINS MADE WITH THE THOUGHT ARE LOST TO AN EMOTIONALITY, WHICH HAS IT'S BEGINNINGS IN THE STOMACH AND LIKE A GIANT WAVE OF UPENDED PAIN COMES CRASHING DOWN AND RELEASES SOME OF THAT ENERGY INSIDE AN ORGANISM, WHO IS OVERWHELMED IN THE PROCESS AND LOSES SIGHT OF THE PRESENT REALITY, TO RATHER STAY IN THE FROZEN MOMENT OF A PAST REALITY AND FIGHT IT DAY AFTER DAY, WHILE THE WAVE SUBSIDES AND THE PANIC THAT IS LEFT FROM THE WAVE OF UNSOLVED EMOTIONAL ENERGY PRECIPITATES A NEW STATUS QUO, WHERE THE FEAR IS UP SIZED AND THE IMMOBILITY GROWS IN IT'S OWN STATURE, FOREVER A REMINDER OF AN EMOTION OR MANY EMOTIONS THAT WERE NOT SEIZED UPON AT THEIR TIME AND WERE NOT TACKLED AND SEEN SOMETIMES AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO REGAIN THE WHOLENESS, UNTIL ALL, THAT WEIGHED DOWN INTERNALLY ON THE SENTIENT BEING CAUSED IT TO BELIEVE THAT THE SITUATION WAS AKIN TO BEING BURIED ALIVE, AS THE MORE THAT IT SCREAMED AND TRIED TO CATCH SOMEONES ATTENTION, THE MORE IT WAS IGNORED, UNTIL THE MOMENT CAME, WHERE THERE WAS ANOTHER WHO LISTENED AND DID NOT TALK, AND IN THE PROCESS OF LISTENING, THERE SEEMED TO COME A CALMNESS AND A WILLINGNESS TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO EXTRICATE ALL THOSE FEELINGS OF NOT FEELING WORTHY, OF THE PAIN FROM CHILDHOOD AND ALL THE OTHER PAIN THAT HAD STEMMED FROM THAT ORIGINAL PAIN, AND SO, WITH A CURIOSITY AND A NEW INTENTION THAT WAS EVIDENT IN THE STEP AND THE POSTURE, THERE WAS A MISSION PLANNED TO FOLLOW THE PATH BACK TO THE SOURCE AND WITH TIME, THE PAIN DISSIPATED AND ALL SEEMED TO TAKE ON A NEW COAT, WHICH WAS OF COURSE, A CHANGE IN THE PERCEPTION, WHICH ALTERED THE REALITY AND AS THE SENTIENT BEING WAS GRASPING AND REJOICING IN THE WHOLENESS OF ITSELF, THERE WAS AN OUTSIDE STIMULUS THAT INTRUDED, A BUMP, AND THE ELEVATOR DOORS OPENED, TO A SIGHT AND A FEELING ,OF IN THE MOMENT OF THE MOMENT, AND ALL SEEMED DIFFERENT, AND THE BEING STEPPED OUT WITH A BROAD SMILE, READY ,WILLING AND ABLE TO TACKLE THE NEXT PART OF THE JOURNEY.

VIGILANCE......

 
EVER VIGILANT IN THE MOMENT

THERE CAN BE ONLY THE MOMENT OF....NOW!

THE MOMENT OF CRYSTALISATION............

IN THE MOMENT OF CRYSTALLISATION, ALL IS POSSIBLE, WHILE THE SEASONS PASS WITH THE NEW GROWTH, AS THE CYCLE PRECIPITATES ITSELF OVER AND OVER ,AND YET, SOME OF THE CYCLES ARE NOT WELL DEFINED IN THEIR CHANGES AND THEIR GROWTH WITH THE PITFALLS AND CHASM OF EMOTIONALLY STUNTING AND RETARDING OF THE REGROWTH IN THE REALITY OF THE MIND AND, NOT EXACTLY RELATIVE TO THE TRUE REALITY OF THE UNIVERSE, WHICH IS NOT PRONE TO THE SELECTIVE THOUGHTS AND IMPLEMENTATIONS, WHICH HOLD ONTO A MOMENT IN THE CYCLE AND BELIEVE WITH SUBSTANTIATION, THAT, THIS MOMENT WAS THE REALITY AND IN THE MOMENT OF CREATING THIS SEPARATE REALITY, IT WOULD BECOME THE REALITY OF THE MOMENT AND THE CYCLE WOULD BE DIMINISHED IN IT'S GRAND DESIGN, TO ONE WHICH WAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE MANIPULATION OF CONTROL, WHILE AS THE RESULTS MANIFESTED THEMSELVES, AND THE THOUGHTS FUELLED THE ACTIONS, WHICH FUELLED THE NEXT RESULTS, THE BELIEF WOULD COME TO PASS, THAT, THE SITUATION HAD NO POSSIBILITIES AND ANY FURTHER MANIFESTATION WOULD BE KNOWN, WHICH WOULD ADD IMPETUS TO THE BELIEF, THAT THIS INDEED WOULD BE A SELF FULFILLING PROPHESY, UNLESS, THE CYCLE COULD BE BROKEN, BUT, FOR IT TO CHANGE, THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE A CONTINUING EMPTINESS, WHICH WOULD GNAW AWAY AT THE SENTIENT BEING AND DEMAND AN ACTION, OR NO ACTION AT ALL, WHICH, WOULD SET, AS HARDENED CEMENT, AS THE IMMOBILITY AND THE FRUSTRATION GREW, UNLESS THERE WAS A WILLINGNESS, A CURIOSITY AND A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF COURAGE, TO LET GO OF THE SACRED COWS OF THOUGHT, WHICH PERSIST IN THE CURRENT VIEWPOINT AND BE PREPARED TO SURRENDER WHAT ONE THOUGHT WAS THE REALITY, TO ALLOW THE TRUE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE TO MANIFEST ITSELF, SO THAT THE FREE FLOW OF THIS ENERGY COULD REGAIN IT'S NATURAL RHYTHM AND FLOW AND THE SENTIENT BEING COULD FULFILL THE OBLIGATION, WHILE THE MONOTONY OF THE SELF INDUCED AND SELF PERPETUATED CYCLES OF A PROGRAMMED REALITY WOULD BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO THE REALM OF UNHINDERED ENERGY FLOW, AS ALL THE POSSIBILITIES GREW AND THE SYNCHRONICITOUS MOMENTS BECAME INTUITIVELY UNDERSTANDABLE, WHILE THE ESSENCE OF ONE'S OWN AUTHENTICNESS WOULD NOT BE A MATTER OF DEBATE, AS THE KNOWINGNESS OF SELF, COMPLETED IT'S OWN CYCLE AND IN THE ABSOLUTENESS OF THE UNIVERSE, IT WOULD BE ACCEPTED AND THE TRUTH WOULD NOT BE AN INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETATION, BUT WOULD BE THE COMMONALITY OF ALL, WHO INHALE AND EXHALE AND IN THE PROCESS OF WHOLENESS AND CONNECTEDNESS WOULD BE THE RULE RATHER THAN THE EXCEPTION.

ALONE IN THE DARKNESS........

ALONE IN THE DARKNESS, AT PEACE AND RELAXED, AS THE OTHER SENSES EXPAND THEMSELVES, WHILE THE ENERGY OF THE OBJECTS AROUND ONE MAKE THEMSELVES KNOWN, UNDETERRED BY THE LACK OF VISUAL RECOGNITION, THE ENERGY ARRIVES IN WAVES, AS THEIR PLACEMENT AND SIZE TURNS INTO A PICTURE, WHILE THE SOUNDS, THAT ARE EMITTED, BUILD UP INTO A RHYTHMIC PATTERN AND THE SMELLS AND AROMAS ASSAIL THE NOSTRILS, WHILE ALL THE TIME THERE IS THE BUBBLE OF ENERGY CAUGHT IN THE EBB AND THE FLOW OF THE UNIVERSE, WHICH GROWS IN SIZE AND PHYSICAL FEELING, AS THE OUTSIDE WORLD DISAPPEARS, THE SURROUNDINGS GLOW WITH ENERGY AND AS PEOPLE PASS BY, THERE IS A SENSE, NOT OF THE PHYSICAL FORM, BUT OF COCOONS OF ENERGY, DIFFERING IN SIZE AND INTENSITY, WHILE ALL THE TIME, AS THE MIND DEFOCUSES ON ALL ELSE AND BEGINS TO FOCUS ON THE ENERGY, IT GROWS AND THERE ARE NO CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS PRESENT, JUST THE ENERGY WHICH HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF THROUGH THE SURRENDER OF SELF AND HAD TO REALISE, THAT IN IT'S CREATION, IT HAS A PURPOSE AND AS THE PROCESS EXTENDS ITSELF, SO THAT THE PURPOSE REGAINS IT'S CLARITY IN THE HEALING OF SELF AND OTHERS.
BLESSED BE.

THE AUSPICIOUS VISION.................

THE VISIONS ARE FILLED WITH AUSPICIOUS SIGNS, AS MY BODY RELAXES AND THE IN BREATHS AND OUT BREATHS GET FURTHER APART.

CLOUDS OF JOY DESCEND AND LIFT ME TO A FAMILIAR PLACE, WHERE, WALKING THROUGH A FOREST, I FEEL THE LIVING ENERGY, WHICH IS LIKE A GIANT HEARTBEAT, AS IT MOVES AND VIBRATES.

THE RUNNING WATER IS THE SOOTHING MUSICOLOGIST, WHO IS ABLE TO BRING PEACE AND GIVE LIFE TO IT'S SURROUNDINGS, WHILE THE ANIMALS HAVE THE SENSE AND THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THE UNIVERSE.

THE CARIBOU, THE ELK, THE GRIZZLY BEAR, THE SQUIRREL, THE HAWK, THE EAGLE, THE VULTURE, THE LION, THE BUFFALO AND THE ELEPHANT ALL PLACE THEMSELVES IN THE MOMENT,WHEN WHAT SEEMS LIKE A DREAM, BECOMES A REALITY AND WHAT WAS THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE, COMES TO PASS.

A CHOICE IN THE CYCLE.............

IN THE INNOCUOUSNESS OF THE MEDIOCRITY LIES THE SEEDS OF DISCONTENT, WHICH PROVIDE EACH ONE WITH A CHOICE, WHETHER THERE IS THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR NOT AND WHILE ALL GO ABOUT THEIR DAILY BUSINESS, INTERSECTING, INTERFACING, RATIONALISING AND TRYING TO GET AHEAD, THIS SUPER SMOOTH SURFACE OF EXISTENCE, BEGINS TO CHIP AWAY AND DETERIORATE, WHILE THE SHOW OF EXPLOITATION ON ICE, ON A LOOP TAPE PLAYS IT'S SUPER ABSORBING MESSAGES AND ESPOUSES IT'S MATERIAL MOTIVATIONS TO NATURALLY HELP ALL OF HUMANKIND, WHILE THE COFFERS START TO FILL AND THE OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS EXTEND THEMSELVES, LIKE RABBITS ON A BREEDING PROGRAM, AND THE MESSAGE CONTINUES, INSPIRING PEOPLE TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE: LOOK LIKE A FILM STAR, DRESS LIKE SUCCESS, SMELL LIKE PRESTIGE AND ALL THE WHILE, AS THE ETERNAL GROWS OR FALLS, THE INTERNAL LESSONS SEEM TO BE LOST, AS MEDIOCRITY IN THE TRUE PURPOSE OF LIFE REARS ITSELF AND SLOWLY STARTS TO ATROPHY AND ALL CONTINUALLY START TO QUESTION THE MEANINGS AND SYMBOLS OF A LIFETIME OF STRUGGLE OR A LIFETIME OF PLENTY, FOR THE EMPTINESS THAT HAS DESCENDED IN THE HEARTS, MINDS AND SOUL OF THE POPULACE LEADS TO QUACKERY, AS THE SNAKE MEDICINE MEN WEAVE THEIR GREASY WAY THROUGH A POPULATION IN PAIN AND WHEN THEY ARE THOUGH, THE EMPTINESS IS EVEN GREATER, UNTIL THERE APPEARS OUT OF THE NOTHINGNESS OF A HOMOGENEOUS MASS, WHO TEND TO OTHERS AND EXTEND THEMSELVES, NOT FOR A PRICE, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY FEEL AND AS THE MOVEMENT GROWS, SO DOES THE EMPTINESS RECEDE, UNTIL IT BECOMES A DISTANT MEMORY, WHILE ALL THE TIME, LIFE IS A CYCLE AND THE CHOICES THAT WE HAVE ARE THERE FOR BENEFITING OTHERS AND BY EXTENDING ONESELF , ONE STEP AT A TIME, ALL WILL BENEFIT

ASCENSION IN THE INHALATION & EXHALATION OF LIFE......

THE CRAMPS AND SPASMS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE BODY, AS THE AWARENESS OF THE PHYSICAL ENTITY DIMINISHES, WHILE ALL SEEMS TO FADE INTO THE BACKGROUND AND THE LIGHTS, ESPECIALLY THE COLOUR, FADE TO A BLEACHED WHITE, LIKE AN AGE OLD CARCASS, TIMELESS IN IT'S STARKNESS, A CIRCLE OF LIFE COMPLETE, WHILE THE VULTURES STAND BLOATED AS GARGOYLE SENTINELS, WAITING PATIENTLY, AS THE IMAGES BECOME MORE PROFUSE, MORE INTENSE, MORE EXPLICIT, AS THE BODY LOSES IT'S SENSORY STIMULUS FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD COMPLETELY AND RETURNS TO THE INTERNAL WOMBLIKE MAGICK OF A PLACE, THAT IS AS FAMILIAR AS THE ILLUSION OF REALITY OF THE OUTER FACADE, WHILE THE HAWKS, THE FALCONS AND THE EAGLES SWOOP DOWN IN A FLYPAST OF GRACIOUSNESS AND REVERENCE, WHILE ALL THE TIME, THE IMAGES AND PERCEPTIONS OF WHO ONE ONCE WAS DIMINISH AND THE SOUND OF THE BEAT OF THE WINGS IS ACCENTUATED IN THE REALITY OF THE NOW, WHILE WITH EACH HEARTBEAT AND EACH FLAP OF THE WINGS, THE ENERGY OF SELF RISES FROM THE GROUND, BEING LIFTED IN THE UPDRAFT OF SPIRIT AND A THOUGHT, OF THE PLACE OF FEAR AND DARKNESS, WHICH WAS THE REALITY, IS NOW BUT A DISTANT MEMORY, WHICH FADES AWAY, AS IF IT HAD NEVER EXISTED AND THE BODY FEELS A CUSHION OF FEATHERS UNDERNEATH IT, WHILE FEATHERS OF A GOLDEN ENERGY CARESS THE BODY, HEALING IT AND EXTENDING THEIR ENERGY WITH A TINGLING SENSATION, WHICH IS THE FIRST PHYSICAL SENSATION FELT IN THE ASCENSION, WHILE THE SMOKE OF A DISTANT FIRE FUNNELS UP TO ENGULF THIS VISION AND IN THE LACK OF VISION, THE BIRDS ARE THERE AND CAN BE SENSED AND A WHITENESS ENVELOPS ALL, WITH A SMELL SUDDENLY REGISTERING OF FRAGRANT LEAVES AND HERBS AND ALL THE TIME THERE IS THE RHYTHMIC BEAT OF THE WINGS AND THE HEARTBEAT SYNCHRONISED INTO A UNITY, WHICH IS ACCEPTED AS WHAT WAS AND NOW IS, WHILE IT SEEMS LIKE THIS BEAT IS THE ONE THING WHICH IS ABLE TO CAUSE THE ASCENSION OF SELF AND THEN SOFTLY AT FIRST, THERE IS THE CHANTING AND AS THE GAP OPENS UP IN THE SMOKE, THERE BELOW STAND A MASS OF HUMANITY, RAISING THEIR HANDS UP AND DOWN IN TIME TO THE BEAT AND AS THE VISION UNFOLDS, THIS MASS OF INDIVIDUALS BECOMES ONE MASS AND TAKES THE SHAPE OF AN EAGLE AND SLOWLY AT FIRST, THE WINGS BEGIN TO FLAP AND THE MASS ARISES FROM THE GROUND AND WITH MINIMAL ENERGY AND EFFORT, RISES SLOWLY , THEN FASTER AND FASTER, WHILE I FEEL THAT I AM MOVING DOWNWARDS AND THE MASS MOVES UPWARDS, BLOCKING OUT THE SUN, AND AS I LOOK UPWARDS, THE MASS BECOMES ONE WITH THE SUN AND I COME TO REST ON THE GROUND, WITH AN AWARENESS RENEWED AND AS I OPEN MY EYES AND RETURN TO THE PHYSICALITY OF THE MOMENT, I OPEN MY CLENCHED FIST, TO FIND A GOLDEN FEATHER IN THE INSIDE OF MY PALM AND AS I LOOK IN AMAZEMENT, IT SLOWLY ASCENDS UPWARDS AND DISAPPEARS, WHILE MY EYES LOOK DOWNWARD AND IN THE INSIDE OF MY PALM IS THE IMPRINT OF THE FEATHER AND IN THIS MOMENT I REALISE THE TRUTH OF THE RELEVANCE OF ALL IRRELEVANCE AND THE POSSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST, WHICH DEPEND ON THE PERCEPTIONS AND THE CHOICES EMBEDDED IN ALL WHO WALK THE PATH AND EXTEND THEMSELVES, FULFILLING THEIR OBLIGATIONS IN THE INHALATION AND EXHALATION OF LIFE.

ASCENSION & DESCENSION-----THE SPIRALS OF LIFE

CLIMBING HIGHER AND HIGHER, AS THE BREEZE GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER, THE CITY SEEMED TO FADE AWAY TO A DULL HUM AS THE STRESSES AND STRAINS OF BEING IN THE CONCRETE JUNGLE MOVED DOWNWARD, UNTIL THEY WERE ALL CONCENTRATED IN HIS BARE FEET, WHILE THE WIND LICKED AT HIS HEELS, FORCING THE ENERGY TO DISSIPATE IN THE BREEZE, LIKE FEATHERS CAUGHT IN THE UPDRAFT AND WAFTING AWAY, UNTIL ALL THAT WAS LEFT, WAS THE ORIGINAL EMPTY VESSEL, WAITING FOR GODOT AND AS THE VISTA UNFOLDED BEFORE THE OCULAR INTENTION, THERE SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING ELSE, A DIFFERENT FEELING, THAT WAS PERVADING THE WHOLE BODY, INTENSIFYING, AS THE BODY REGAINED IT'S LOST FOOTHOLD,NOT ON THE EXTERNAL RAMIFICATIONS OF A LIFE OF MATERIALITY, BUT ON THE INTERNAL UNIVERSE OF SPIRIT, WHICH WAS AN AMNESIAC MEMORY, SLOWLY RETURNING IN THE MOMENT OF ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT EXACTLY THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE BEING IS AND AS THE GAZE TOOK IN THE MASS OF THE WATER BODY TO HIS RIGHT, THE WATER SEEMED TO LOSE IT'S DARKNESS AND THE SHIMMERING CHOPPINESS OF THE LITTLE WAVES STARTED TO RESEMBLE THE WARM EMBRACE OF A PLACE FILLED WITH THE AMNIOTIC FLUID, OF WHICH THERE WAS NO CONSCIOUS MEMORY, BUT WHICH EXISTED IN THE FEELINGS OF BEING ONE AND SUDDENLY THERE FLOATED THROUGH THE CONSCIOUSNESS A TIME WHERE THE PURPOSE OF LIFE, THE INTENTION OF WHAT IS TO BE DONE, THE CHOICES, THE PARALLEL EXISTENCE WHICH WAS ON OFFER, THE SACRIFICES, THE QUALITIES THAT NEEDED TO BE WORKED ON, THE REASONS BEHIND THE CHOICE OF THE ORIGINAL VESSEL, THAT WAS TO CREATE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO FULFILL THE MISSION, THE EXPECTATION, THE OBLIGATION AND AS THE ENERGY REINSERTED ITSELF INTO THE CONSCIOUS MIND, THE AWARENESS OF THE LIFE THAT HAD EXISTED UNTIL THAT MOMENT IN TIME, WHICH SEEMED TO BE A DEFINING POINT ON WHICH A DECISION AND A CHOICE WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE, WHILE REALISING THAT THE DECISION HAD BEEN MADE ALREADY, AS THE VOICES AND THE IMAGES GREW STRONGER, WHILE THE CITY LIGHTS HAD LOST THEIR ILLUSIONARY FOCUS , TO REVEAL THE TRUE SPIRALS OF ENERGY, WHICH WEE FLOWING THROUGH THE LIGHTS, SERENADING THEMSELVES FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND IN THE MYOPICNESS OF THE VISION, ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE WAS VISIBLE, ONE THAT HAD ALWAYS BEEN THERE, BUT HAD NEVER TRULY BEEN SEEN, FOR THE ART OF ILLUSION IS TO MAKE ONE BELIEVE, THAT THE ILLUSION IS THE REALITY AND THE REALITY IS THE ILLUSION AND IN THAT MOMENT OF THIS REALISATION, THE BODY EXUDED A HEAT AND A BRILLIANT LIGHT, WHICH STOOD AS A BEACON AND AS THE LIGHT GREW AND ENCOMPASSED MORE, THE CITY LIGHTS ARRANGED THEMSELVES INTO MAGICAL CIRCLES, WHICH PULSATED AND ISSUED FORTH THEIR OWN ULTRASOUND VIBRATION, WHICH IN TURN BROUGHT ALL THE LIGHTS INTO ONE GIANT CIRCLE, AND AS THE PHYSICALITY DIMINISHED, IT WAS CLEAR THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE AN EBB AND A FLOW TO THE CIRCLE, AN INVITATION TO JOIN AND THE BEACON STEPPED OFF THE BUILDING, KNOWING ON SOME LEVEL THAT THIS IS WHAT WAS MEANT TO BE AND IN THE SURRENDER, THERE WAS THE EMBRACE AND THE CONJUNCTION OF THE ENERGIES IN A FLASH AND THEN THERE WAS ONLY ONE ENERGY, ONE LIGHT AND THE WHOLENESS HAD BEEN RESTORED, WHILE THE WAVES OF THIS EVENT RIPPLED OUTWARDS, THROUGHOUT INFINITY.

IN THE ASCENSION AND THE DESCENSION, THE AUTHENTIC TRUTH HAD REASSERTED ITSELF AND THE NEXT SPIRAL OF EXISTENCE IS A POSSIBILITY.

***HEALING BEGINS WITH SELF!***

THE NEST OF FORGIVENESS..............

IN A TREE, WITH IT'S SUIT OF GREEN CLOTH ,CLOTHING IT'S EXTERIOR, SAT A NEST OF SMALL TWIGS, WHICH WAS THE NEST OF FORGIVENESS, WHILE THE LEAVES RUSTLED IN THE UNFORGIVING WIND, THE NEST BARED IT'S SECRET, A WEEK OLD CHICLET, WHO HELPLESS AT FIRST, WAS ON THE ROAD TO GREATNESS, AS THE VERMIN PROWLED DOWN BELOW AND THE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT SENSED THAT THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY HERE, UNTIL A SOUND AROSE ABOVE THE WIND AND FILLED THE DARKNESS WITH FEAR OF ITSELF, FOR IT HAD NOT BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF FEAR UNTIL THAT MOMENT, WHEN THE SEASONS HAD PASSED AND FROM THE NEST OF FORGIVENESS CAME FORGIVENESS ITSELF, SPRITE ON WING, FILLED TO CAPACITY WITH THE IMAGES OF IT'S OWN PROWESS, WHILE ALL THE TIME, COMPARING IT'S STRENGTH AND HUNTING ABILITIES, WHILE FORGETTING WHAT IT'S TRUE PURPOSE WAS AND IS, IN A NEW WORLD, OF WHICH ALL HAD CHANGED, WHEN THE DARKNESS HAD FEARED ITSELF AND NOW THE DARKNESS HAD REGAINED THE UPPER HAND, AND INSTILLED FEAR INTO ALL, WHILE FORGIVENESS FLEW TO EXPERIENCE THE THRILLS OF FLIGHT, AND THEN , ONE DAY, IT SAW A MISSHAPEN ANIMAL THAT HAD STRAYED AND KNEW INSTINCTIVELY THAT THIS WAS A MOMENTOUS OCCASION, WHILE ALL THE TIME CIRCLING IT SAW THE DARKNESS CREEPING UP ON THIS CREATURE AND IN A FLASH, FORGIVENESS SWOOPED DOWN ON THIS CREATURE,AS ITS WINGS FOLDED BACK AND IT PICKED UP SPEED, WITH THE INTENTION, NOT TO HUNT, AND TO IT'S OWN SURPRISE, TO HOLD THE CREATURE IN IT'S TALONS, WITHOUT CAUSING IT DAMAGE AND PERPETUALLY FRUSTRATING THE EFFORTS OF THE DARKNESS AND AS IT FLEW TO THE HIGHEST POINT AND RESTING THE CREATURE GENTLY DOWN , IT STARED INTO THE EYES OF THIS FORLORN ANIMAL AND IT SAW ITSELF AS A YOUNG ONE AND IN THE INSTANT OF RECOGNITION, THE CREATURE DISAPPEARED AND ALL THAT WAS LEFT, WAS A DISCOVERED PURPOSE AND THAT MOST IMPORTANTLY, FORGIVENESS HAD FORGIVEN ITSELF, AND IN THE PROCESS, HAD FREED ALL THE CREATURES FROM THE DARKNESS ONCE AGAIN.

THE AVENUES ON THE JOURNEY............

ALL AVENUES OF THOUGHT HAVE THEIR PITFALLS.

EVEN IF ONE IS ENGAGED ON A JOURNEY WHERE THE EXTENSION OF THOUGHT IS HELD IN A PRECARIOUS BALANCE OF POSITIVITY AND OPTIMISM.

TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW THE INNER CORE VOICES AND SURRENDER ONESELF TO SOMETHING, WHICH SEEMS BEYOND ONE'S REACH AT FIRST, AND THEN, THERE IS THE COMING TOGETHER WITH FOCUS AND DETERMINATION, LEADING ONE TO CONGRATULATE ONESELF ON THE PROGRESS, WHILE INSIDE, DEEP DOWN, THERE IS STILL THE YEARNING FOR THE INTANGIBLE.

WITH FOCUS AND INTENT, THE PREPARATION THAT IS RENDERED TO PURSUE THIS PATH, LEADS ONE TO HAVE A LASER LIKE VISION.

FACED WITH THE DICHOTOMY , OF ON ONE HAND PROGRESSING, WHILE ON THE OTHER, THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE CONTINUALLY BEING DROPPED ON THE WAYSIDE.

TO COUNTERACT THE MOLE LIKE VISION, THERE HAS TO BE A PAUSE IN THE EXTENSION OF SELF, AND AN ANALYTICAL LOOK AT THE BROADER PERSPECTIVE.

IF THE SHORTEST AND THE QUICKEST PATH IS AS THE CROW FLIES, THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT IS THE MOST NURTURING OR REWARDING TO THE TRAVELER AND THE SEEKER.

AS MUCH AS ONE IS TRAVELING IN WHAT ONE THINKS OR ASSUMES IS A STRAIGHT LINE, LIKE A TIGHT ROPE WALKER, WHAT IS REQUIRED IS THE USE OF ALL THE SENSES.

THERE HAS TO BE EXTENDED AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS, WHICH IS EXPANDED WITH TIME.

HUMAN NATURE PURSUES IT'S DUE COURSE OF DILIGENCE AND HENCE THE DICHOTOMY OF THE FOCUSED PATH AND THE EXTENSION OF THE PERIPHERAL VISION, WHICH TENDS TO GET LOST.

DEPENDING ON ONE'S VIEWPOINT OF THE SPIRITUALITY OF SELF AND HOW FAR ONE IS PREPARED TO GO AND WHERE THE REALITY LIES, WILL BE WHAT SORT OF SACRIFICES, ONE IS PREPARED TO MAKE.

LOSING THE THREAD OF THINGS IS VERY EASY, NO MATTER HOW HARD ONE TRIES.

THE ONGOING BATTLE TO RETAIN THAT SENSE OF CLARITY AND UNDERSTANDING, WHEN THE MAJORITY AROUND ONE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PRECISENESS OF THAT HOLISTIC GIFT.

USING AN EXPANSIVE VOCABULARY IS A NECESSITY, BUT SOMEHOW THE DIFFICULTIES IN DESCRIBING WHAT ONE IS SEEING OR FEELING , OR WHERE ONE IS AT , AT ANY GIVEN TIME, PRESENTS A PROBLEM, AS ONE IS NEVER FULLY AWARE OF ALL THE PERCEPTIONS.

DRIVING DOWN A TREE LINED ROAD AND TRAVELING AT SPEED PRESENTS ONLY GLIMPSES AT THE PANORAMIC VIEW, ON EITHER SIDE.
\THE DUALITY OF CHOICES PRESENTS ITSELF IN WHICH SIDE TO LOOK AT FIRST AND THEN THERE IS THE INDIVIDUAL UNDERSTANDING, WHICH EMANATES FROM THE REPOSITORY OF THE PROGRAMMED OUTLOOK AND IN LOOK OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

THERE IS THE DRIVING FORCE WHICH BOMBARDS ME WITH A CONSTANT STREAM OF INTANGIBLE TANGIBILITY'S.
THESE ARE SUFFUSED IN A DREAM LIKE REALITY OF IMAGES, VOICES AND FEELINGS, WHICH PLAY AROUND AT THE EDGES OF MY CONSCIOUSNESS, FOR THE MOMENT.

THE EXPLANATION OF ALL OF THIS IS FAR FROM CLEAR, AND YET THE URGENCY, THAT IT PRESENTS IS NOT IN DOUBT.

THERE IS A NEW KIND OF ENERGY THAT HAS SUPPLANTED THE LAST UPSWING, IN WHICH THE FEELINGS WERE THE SAME, BUT THE INTENSITY DIFFERS BY IT'S LACK OF FRENETICNESS.

THE CYCLES OF PRECIPITATION ARE FLOWING AND THE IMAGES OF FREE FLOWING WAVES COME TO MIND.

THE AWARENESS OF THIS CYCLE PRESENTS ITSELF IN THE AWARENESS AND THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF SOME KIND OF OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE, WHERE THE VIEW IS NOT OF THE PHYSICAL FORM TRAVELLING ON THIS WAVE, BUT MORE OF THE ESSENCE OF MY WHOLE BEING, BEING PART OF THE TOTAL FLOW.

LOSING ONE'S IDENTITY IN THE PHYSICAL REALITY AND MAKING A TRANSITION, WHICH JUST APPEARED IN THE MOMENT TO TRANSCEND ALL THAT HAS GONE BEFORE.

I REALISE THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF MY PURPOSE IN LIFE , IT IS STILL SIMPLISTIC.

TO OBTAIN THE CLARITY I NEED, IT HAS TO BE THAT WAY.
SIMPLICITY PROVIDES THE BUILDING BLOCKS, TO BE ABLE, FIRSTLY TO TRAVEL IN A CERTAIN ORBIT AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO USE THE MOMENTUM OF THAT ORBIT TO TAKE A GIANT LEAP AND CATAPULT ONESELF INTO THE NEXT SPHERE OF ONE'S DESTINY.

AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME I KNOW THAT I HAVE CHOSEN TO PLACE MYSELF IN THIS FIRST ORBIT AND EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE CHOSEN TO DO HAS PLACED ME IN A POSITION, WHERE THE NATURAL FORCES WILL PROPEL ME EVEN FURTHER.

THE DESTINATION OF WHERE I AM GOING TO IS UNIMPORTANT, ALTHOUGH I HAVE THAT DREAMLIKE AWARENESS OF WHERE I AM GOING.

THERE IS THAT SENSE OF EXCITEMENT IN THE KNOWINGNESS OF IT ALL.

TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ONE'S QUE FROM THE INVISIBLE FORCES, WHICH IS THE TANGIBILITY IN THE INTANGIBILITY.

TO THE DEGREE OF HOW EXPANSIVE THE MIND IS AND HOW INFINITE THE PATTERNS ARE, IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THE DUALITY WHICH IS NO LONGER A DUALITY, DOES NOT SPIRAL OUT AT A TANGENT, WITHOUT THE CLARITY OF THOUGHT AND THE POWER OF THE WILL TO KEEP IT GROUNDED.

LOSING THE GAINS I HAVE MADE IS A REALITY ALWAYS.
ARROGANCE IN THE PERCEPTION OF WHERE ONE HAS COME FROM AND WHERE ONE IS, LEADS TO THE ICARUS SYNDROME.

THIS IS NOT A FEAR THAT SHOULD PREVENT ONE FROM ATTAINING AND PURSUING ONE'S OWN SPIRITUALITY, AT ALL.

THIS IS THE REALITY OF AN AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS, WHICH HAS TO BE UTILISED WISELY IN THE FULFILLMENT OF ONE'S OWN DESTINY.

THE MAGIC FOOT

AS THE NOISES LEFT THE SENSUROUND OF MY AUDITORY CANAL AND MY EYES STARTED TO DEFOCUS,
THE FOOT APPEARED TO GLIDE ALONG THE REFLECTIVE TILED SURFACE.
EVEN AS I TRIED TO OPEN MY EYES , THE FOOT KEPT ON GLIDING AND WHERE THE LEG SHOULD HAVE BEEN WAS A BLACK MASS WHICH DISINTEGRATED AND CAME TOGETHER.
WAS IT THE MESSAGE, AN OMEN----TO BE PERSISTANT IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY---TO BE ABLE TO GLIDE THROUGH LIFE WITH EASE--TO FACE THINGS HEAD ON---TO HAVE TENACITY---TO BE PLAYFULL AND TO ENJOY THE WALKING WITH A PASSION IN THE MOMENT OF THE MOMENT!

AT THIS MOMENT THE FOOT WALKS THROUGH ALL OUR LIVES IF WE ACKNOWLEDGE IT FOR WHAT IT IS AND TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT FEAR AND GREAT COURAGE AND MAKE THAT LEAP INTO THE UNKNOWN.

YES---YES---YES---

THE CIRCLE OF HANDS....

IT HAS TAKEN A LONG TIME IN PREPARATION AND THE MOMENT IS NOW!
STEPPING INTO THE RING OF THE CIRCLE OF HANDS.

THEY RISE OFF THE FLOOR
AND MOVE AROUND MY BODY
IN A SWIRL OF ENERGY
AND IT IS IN THAT MOMENT
THAT I FEEL THE PRESENCE
OF MY OWN ESSENCE
AND REALISE
THE TRUE GIFT OF LIFE!

THE FEATHER

THE FEATHER THAT HAD LAIN SO LONG
PRESSED INTO THE PAGES
OF AN OLD MUSTY BOOK


I PLACED THE FEATHER IN MY HAND
AND STRANGE VIBRATIONS WERE FELT THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE BODY-
I WAS NOT QUITE SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING.



THE ENERGY STARTED TO PULSE INTO MY FINGERTIPS AND MY HAND BECAME WARM AND THEN HOT.
AS I LOOKED AT MY HAND ,THE FINGERS STARTED TO CURL AROUND THE FEATHER AND THERE WAS A SENCE OF SERENITY AND PEACE WHICH FLOWED THROUGH AND OUT OF ME.
THE ILLUSION OF THE REALITY BECAME THE REALITY OF THE ILLUSION.

THE EMERGENCE & THE SPREAD........

FROM THE DARKEST CAVE EMERGES THE SEED OF AN IDEA, SHAKY AT FIRST, BLINDED BY THE OMNIPRESENT LIGHT, IT STARTS TO PREPARE ITSELF FOR THE ONSLAUGHT, THAT IT KNOWS WILL BE WAITING ON THE ON THE PERIMETERS, OF THE PARAMETERS, WHILE STANDING TALL, IT TAKES IN THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD, WITH COLOURS THAT HAD NEVER BEFORE BEEN ENVISAGED, SIGHTS NEVER BEFORE IMAGINED AND THE SMELLS, THE GLORIOUS AROMAS, THAT HAD BEEN KEPT FOR EONS IN THE MEMORY BANKS OF A LONG FORGOTTEN LIFE TIME, WHICH ALTERNATED WITH THE FACES OF GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES, WHO HAD NEVER WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD, AS THE THOUGHT PROCESS AND CONCEPT WAS FOREIGN, WHILE NEARBY THE WILDLIFE GATHERED IN EXPECTANT GLEE, AS THEY HAD NEVER BEEN WITNESS TO THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW ENTITY, WHO IN TURN WOULD HAVE TO GUIDE ALL THROUGH THE COMING TIMES OF CHALLENGE, WHICH WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY CHANGE THE COURSE OF MANY LIVES, BY THE MERE FACT, THAT AT EACH CROSSROADS REACHED, REQUIRED A DECISION, WHICH ENCOMPASSED A LOT MORE THAN ONESELF, AND IN THE MOMENT OF THE MOMENT, THERE APPEARED THIS ANDROGYNOUS ENTITY WALKING, SLOWLY AT FIRST, AND AS EACH STEP WAS MADE, THE SOUND THAT EMANATED FROM THE FOOTFALL WAS ONE OF SERENITY, PEACE AND NOTHINGNESS, AND THE PARADIGM SHIFT THAT PASSED OVER EVERY LIVING THING, WAS TANGIBLE, AS THE ENERGY FIELD STARTED TO BUILD, AND ALL THINGS ANIMATE AND INANIMATE, WERE MOLECULARLY AFFECTED IN A WAY WHICH NONE IMAGINED, WHILE THE SOUNDS OF THE ANIMALS AND THEN THE PEOPLE, WERE, ONE'S OF COMPLETE HARMONY, AND AS IT SPREAD OUT AND MOVED ON AND TOUCHED ALL THAT WAS IN IT'S PATH, SO TOO , DID THE THINGS THAT WERE TOUCHED, SET UP ANOTHER RESONANCE, TO EVENTUALLY COVER ALL

QUESTIONS............THOUGHTS...........

ON THE TREADMILL AND IN THE CONFINES OF MY OWN MIND THERE ARE ALWAYS THE QUESTIONS........THE THOUGHTS .........AND SOMETIMES THERE APPEARS AN ANSWER.........MAYBE !!


*HOW OFTEN DO YOU SURPRISE YOURSELF ?

*ARE YOU STUCK IN THE MEDIOCRITY OF AN ILLUSION OF YOUR OWN MAKING?

*YOUR WORLD IS AS SAFE AS THE CONFINES OF THE PARAMETERS OF YOUR OWN MIND!

*DO YOU ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR AS THE VINE WITHERS AND DIES !

*EATING THE SEED AND BREAKING THE CYCLE !

*RELOCATION TO PARADISE IS A MERE PERCEPTION !

* ARE THE DREAMS OF FEAR INDUCED PARANOIA STRONGER THAN THE DREAMS OF INTENTION, PURPOSE AND SELFLESS FULFILLMENT ?

*IS THE TRUTH DEPENDANT ON YOUR VIEWPOINT?

*IF YOUR VIEWPOINT IS SHARED BY OTHERS , DOES THAT MAKE IT TRUE ?

*IF YOUR TRUTH IS THE WHOLE, WHO IS DISCARDED AND LEFT OUT OF YOUR REALITY ?

*IF ATTACKED, WOULD YOU HAVE TO DEFEND YOUR REALITY, OR DOES IT STAND UP AND LET ITSELF BE KNOWN THROUGH ACTIONS, RATHER THAN WORDS.

*WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE TRUE------WHO DOES IT SERVE ?

* DO YOU INSPIRE OTHERS BY BEING SELFLESS OR SELFISH ?

* IS WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU DO!

ARE THE DEFINING MOMENTS IN ONE'S LIFE SEEN AS PROBLEMS OR CHALLENGES?

*HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO FORGET WHO YOU ARE ?

*IF THE EMPTINESS IS STILL THERE, TRY AND GAIN NEW PERSPECTIVE AND UNDERSTANDING !

* DO THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR PERSPECTIVE LIMIT YOUR VIEWS ?

*DO YOU ENJOY A VEILED REALITY OF THE WORLD VIEW ?

*HOW FAR ARE YOU WITH YOUR MISSION ON EARTH ?

*ARE THE SIGNS ON THE PATH EASY TO DECIPHER ?

*IS THE PATH THAT YOU TRAVEL ABLE TO ENHANCE YOUR OWN AUTHENTICITY AND TRUTH ?

*ARE THE BOUNDARIES THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO CROSS BASED ON MORALITY OR FEAR ?

* HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO LOSE YOUR AMNESIAC STATE OF MIND ?

*TO WHAT DEPTHS ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL, TO DISCOVER THE UNIVERSAL ESSENCE ?

*WHAT SACRIFICES ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE TO LIVE IN THE LIGHT ?

*IF YOU ARE STUCK AND MIRED IN AN UNPRODUCTIVE LIFE, LACKING WHOLENESS------WHAT IS IT THAT SHOULD BE DRIVING YOU ?

*WHAT ARE THE ENERGIES THAT YOU HOLD ONTO ?

*ARE YOU ABLE TO INITIATE A HEALING PROCESS ?

*ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP ?

ARE YOU ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION OR IS THE DECISION BEING FORCED ON YOU BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT YOU FEEL ?

IS THERE ROOM FOR BELIEF AND FAITH IN THIS TECHNOLOGICAL CHAOTIC WORLD?


TO HAVE FAITH AND BELIEF IS TO BE IN A POSITIVE CREATIVE FRAMEWORK.
IT IS NOT THE END GOAL, BUT A MEANS AND A PROCESS TO ALIGN ONESELF WITH THE ALL ENCOMPASSING GREATER ENERGY.
THE CHOICES THAT ARE FACED BY ONE ARE IMPORTANT AS THEY ALLOW THE INDIVIDUAL SPIRIT TO PICK OUT WHAT IS BEST.
TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES IS TO BE IN TOUCH WITH ONESELF , BEING AUTHENTIC, ACTING WITH INTEGRITY, TO DISCOVER WHAT THE PURPOSE OF ONE'S LIFE IS.

THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE DUALITY OF LIVING IN TWO WORLDS----THE PHYSICAL AND THE SPIRITUAL.
WHEN ONE IS ABLE TO EMBRACE THE PHYSICAL WORLD WITH A SPIRITUAL OVERVIEW, THERE IS THE REALISATION OF THE ILLUSION OF THE REALITY AND THEN THE DUALITY AND THE PUSH- ME- PULL- ME DISSIPATE.

THE OTHER DUALITY IS BETWEEN THE ESSENCE OF WHO ONE IS AND THE HOLISTIC PICTURE OF HOW ONE FITS IN WITH ALL ELSE, WHILE STILL IMPLEMENTING WHAT ONE LEARNS IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM, BACK INTO THE PHYSICAL.

IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF EITHER GIVING OR TAKING.

IT IS A TWO WAY OSMOTIC PROCESS WHICH RELIES ON THE FLOW OF ENERGIES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE ENERGIES THAT ONE IS PASSING ARE THE ONLY ONE'S.
ONE SHOULD BE IN THE POSITION OF BEING ABLE TO REPLENISH ONE'S OWN ENERGIES WITHOUT DRAINING ANOTHER OF THEIR ENERGY.

*ARE YOU THE BEACON AND THE STANDARD BEARER OR JUST THE PASSIVE PASSENGER IN YOUR OWN LIFE?

THE CHOICE ALWAYS RESIDES WITH THE INDIVIDUAL !

THE SEA OF LIFE...............

IN THE SEA OF LIFE
A MOMENT OF QUIETNESS AND SOLITUDE
A RECHARGING
A RE APPRAISAL
AN EPIPHANY
A SERENITY OF SPIRIT
A RE EMERGENCE
AN EVOLUTION

A PLACE IN THE SUN..........

SUBLIMATING ONESELF TO THE WONDROUS EFFERVESCENCE OF LIFE.TELLTALE ILLUSTRATIONS LINGER SOMEWHAT BELATEDLY, WAXING AND WANING.
CAUGHT IN THE TWILIGHT LIGHT,LECHEROUSLY AND LASCIVIOUSLY, CRAVING FOR IT TO STAY AND NEVER GO AWAY.

A THORN TREE FORLORNLY AT THE ROADSIDE, WANTONLY EXPOSING ITSELF TO A PASSING MOTORIST,ONCE A MONTH, IF IT IS LUCKY.

THE DICE ARE ROLLED AS THE CAT'S EYES SHINE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, BEYOND THE GLITZ, BEYOND THE GLAMOUR,BEYOND THE IMAGINATION.

WILDLY GESTICULATING IN A SEA OF FRESH POPPIES, STAINED WITH A DELICATE RED LEAF AND LEFT TO GROW AMONGST THE WEEDS.

IN THE VAPID HEAT OF A MIDDAY SUN, HALLUCINATORY WAVES ASSAIL THE SENSES.
THE DRY HEAT ATTACKS THE NOSTRILS, DRYING ANY MEMORY OF THE MUCOUS, THAT ONCE INHABITED THOSE NOBLE ORIFICES.

THE VISION BECOMES GRITTY AS EACH BLINK CAUSES PAIN TO RADIATE ACROSS THE PEELING SKIN OF THE TEMPLES AND THE FOREHEAD.

AS THE MOUTH LOSES IT'S MOISTURE,THE TONGUE FEELS LIKE AN UNINVITED GUEST IN A AMOROUS LIAISON, WHILE THE THROAT SWELLS WITH AN AUDIENCE APPLAUSE FOR THE DRYNESS.

THE HAPPIEST OCCUPANTS ARE THE ONE'S THAT HAVE ADAPTED TO THE ELEMENTS.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN EACH ONE OF US DOES NOT HAVE AN EON TO EVOLVE.

THE PRESSURE TO ADAPT AND BE FLEXIBLE IS ENORMOUS.
LIVING IN THE MOMENT IS A DEFINITE ADVANTAGE.

FACED WITH AN EXTREME, THE OF AN END IS NOT IN SIGHT.

AS THE SECONDS, THE MINUTES, THE HOURS ROLL BY---TIME IS THE ISSUE.

EMBRACING TIME FOR WHAT ONE THINKS THAT IT IS AND LETTING IT DICTATE THE RESULT DUE TO WHAT ONE THINKS ONE KNOWS, IS ALWAYS DEBATABLE.

TO FOCUS ONE'S ENERGY ON THE SITUATION AT HAND, WHERE FOR THOSE MOMENTS THERE IS NO TIME----ALL THAT IS RELEVANT IS NOT LINEAR, BUT LATERAL.

EXTENDING AND EXPANDING THE MIND, WITHOUT A DETRIMENTAL OUTCOME, ALLOWS ONE THE SPACE TO FOCUS AND MAINTAIN THE CLARITY OF WHAT EXISTS IN THE PRESENT.

AS THE SUN SLOWLY FALLS AND SINKS FROM THE SKY, THE GROUND AND IT'S OCCUPANTS ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE RESPITE FROM THE HEAT OF THE DAY.

THE LAST VESTIGES OF THE GOLDEN ORB DISAPPEAR BENEATH THE HORIZON AND THE TIME IS NEAR FOR THE INVISIBLE INHABITANTS TO COME OUT AND FORAGE.

THE DARKNESS BRINGS WITH IT, IT'S OWN FEARS.

IN THE TWILIGHT LIGHT, THE LIGHT PLAYS TRICKS ON THE EYES.

IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR US TO SEE WHAT IS NOT, OR IS IT.

THE SHADOWS START TO DETACH THEMSELVES FROM THEIR PREVIOUS HOSTS AND FOR THAT MOMENT AND THEN ANOTHER, THEY SEEM TO BE DANCING.

IS THIS JUST THE MIND THAT IS PLAYING TRICKS OR IS THERE THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS HAPPENING.

IT WOULD ALL DEPEND ON HOW ONE WAS TO SEE WHAT EXISTS AND HOW IT EXISTS.

IF ALL IS JUST AN OBJECT, THEN THIS WOULD NOT BE PLAUSIBLE.

IF EACH OBJECT HAS AN ENERGY, THEN EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

IN THE LIGHT OF THE MOONLIGHT THE TREES STRETCH AND EXPAND THEIR ENERGY COCOONS.

IS THE DARKNESS JUST THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT OR THE OPPOSITE OF LIGHT?

WE VIEW THE DARKNESS AS NIGHT TIME,YET CERTAIN ANIMALS ARE ABLE TO SEE IN THE SO CALLED DARKNESS.

ARE WE ABLE TO JUDGE PURELY BY THE LIMITATIONS OF OUR OWN SENSES AND MINDS.

IT WOULD BE ARROGANT TO BELIEVE, JUST BECAUSE WE ARE AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN IN THE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ALL.

THE MISTAKE OF JUDGING OTHERS, THROUGH A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING, OF WHO THEY ARE AND BY THE LIMITED PARAMETERS OF OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE.

TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE THREADS AND THE PATTERNS IN HUMANITY, IS A DISASTER IN THE MAKING.

TO BE UNWILLING TO SEE THE COMMONALITY OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS, IS TO BELIEVE THAT , THROUGH THE LASER LIKE PERCEPTION ALL THAT ONE ENCOUNTERS THAT IS DIFFERENT, IS A THREAT.

TO EMBRACE THE DIFFERENCES AND MOVE AWAY FROM INDIVIDUAL POINTS OF VIEW AND INCORPORATE A MORE HOMOGENEOUS STATE OF THINKING.

PLACING ALL BEINGS IN THE GREATER CONTEXT OF WHAT EACH ENTITY IS AND HOW IT INCORPORATES ITSELF IN THE WHOLE, DOES NOT TAKE AWAY THE INDIVIDUALITY OF THAT ENTITY.

JUDGING A PERSON WITH A LABEL, IN THE NARROW SENSE OF UNDERSTANDING, IS TO TAKE AWAY THAT INDIVIDUALITY.

PERCEPTIONS OF WHAT ONE IS, BEYOND THE OBVIOUS LABELS OF GENDER, COLOUR, RELIGION, POLITICS ARE THE MOST DEFINING.

ESTABLISHING ONE'S OWN SPIRITUALITY AND INDIVIDUAL PURPOSE GOES A LONG WAY IN EMPOWERING SELF AND IN BEING ABLE TO ACT AS A CATALYST IN EMPOWERING OTHERS.

IN THE COOLNESS OF THE NIGHT, THERE IS ALWAYS THE OPPORTUNITY TO FACE THE FEARS OF THE IMAGINATION.
HOW SUCCESSFUL ONE IS, IS DEPENDANT ON WHAT ONE BRINGS TO BEAR IN THE SITUATION, HOW COMMITTED ONE IS TO THE PROGRESS BEYOND ONE'S PRESENT PARAMETERS AND AWARENESS, AND THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO TACKLE THE EMOTIONALITY OF ONE'S OWN BEING AND HOW THAT AFFECTS LIVING IN THE MOMENT.

WILLINGNESS, CURIOSITY AND INTENTION ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK TO WORK WITH, AND BEYOND WHAT ONE THOUGHT ONE IS AND IN THE PRESENT, TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE POTENTIAL OR KNOW THAT IT IS THERE, IF ONLY ONE WOULD GIVE IT A CHANCE.

AS THE COOLNESS OF THE ROCK UNDER MY NECK SOOTHES MY THROBBING HEAD, IT IS IN THE EXPANSIVENESS OF THE SKY THAT TAKES MY BREATH AWAY.
EYES SLOWLY START TO DE FOCUS AND AS I FALL ASLEEP, I ARISE FROM THE COOL EARTH TO SEE ALL THE DANCING LIGHTS AND ENERGY SPIRALS, WHICH ARE INVITING ME TO PARTAKE IN THEIR SACRED RITUAL DANCE OF THE NIGHT.

I JOIN AND MERGE WITH ALL THE ENERGIES PRESENT AND REALISE THAT AS MY BODY RESTS, I HAVE TRANSCENDED THE BARRIERS AND BOUNDARIES THAT EXIST BETWEEN MY REALITY AND ALL OTHERS.

THIS THEN IS THE DANCE TO STOP THE WORLD FOR AN INSTANT, WHICH COULD LAST AN TO INFINITY.

I RELISH THE THOUGHT AND THE KNOWINGNESS OF SEEING, NOT ONLY MYSELF AS THE INDIVIDUAL, BUT THE SPIRIT, AND IT'S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE.

MOMENTS........ONE BY ONE.....

WHITE SHEETS
FLAPPING IN A UNDULATING BREEZE
BLUES AND PURPLES
SHIMMERING

A EUPHONY OF FOOTFALLS
A MOVEMENT
LIKE A WAVE ON COBBLESTONES

A TEAR
FALLS GENTLY
ECHOING
ON A DUST FILLED PANORAMA

A PREVAILING PEACE
ENSUES
CAUGHT
IN THE ENERGISED FIRMAMENT
OF LIFE

THE BLUE SKY HAND

 
IN THE REALMS OF INFINITY
EVERYTHING IS A POSSIBILITY
AS LONG AS THE SELF IMPOSED PARAMETERS
ARE LOST
ALL CAN BE FOUND

TRAVELLING................

 
THE ROAD ONE TRAVELS IS SOMETIMES NOT AS IT SEEMS TO BE...

TOUCH.................

 
IN THE EXPLORATION OF TOUCH
TO FEEL
TO SENSE
TO BE.....

IN THE ABSENSE OF LIGHT....................

IN THE ABSENSE OF LIGHT, THERE IS DARKNESS, A PERVASIVE OPPRESSION TO THE SENSES,WHEN THE FEAR FACTOR IS HIGH AND THE SELF ESTEEM LOW.

SUCCUMBING TO THE ABSENSE OF LIGHT, EXTERNALLY AND INTERNALLY, IS THE COPING MECHANISM OF THE SENTIENT BEING, TO DELAY THE ONCOMING FREIGHT TRAIN OF UPENDED PAIN, WHICH SEEMS TO COME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE GUT AND PROPELS ITSELF, TO OVERWHELM ALL THE SENSES AND SENDS ONE INTO PAROXYSMS OF DOUBT AND NEGATIVITY, WHILE IN THE PROCESS THE IMMOBILISATION OF THE HUMAN BEING, SPREADS IT'S TENTACLES TO EVERY ASPECT OF ONE'S LIFE.

BEING PRESENT IN ONE'S LIFE AND NOT BEING A PASSENGER, LEADS ONE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STIMULUS AND THE EMOTIONAL CONTENT OF ONE'S LIFE.

TO BE PRESENT ALLOWS ONE TO BE THE MATADOR IN THE BULL RING OF ONE'S LIFE.

FACE THE BULL OF DARKNESS IN ONE'S OWN LIFE OR TREMBLE WITH FEAR AND BRING THOSE FEARS TO THE SURFACE, BY MANIFESTING WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT MECHANISM COMES TO THE FORE.
WHERE THE MIND IS CONCERNED THERE IS NO FLIGHT.
USING THE ADRENALIN BUILD UP TO TAKE THE OFFENSIVE POSITION, WHERE ONE DECIDES ONCE AND FOR ALL, WHO ONE IS, WHAT ONE IS AND WHERE ONE WOULD LIKE TO BE.

THE BATTLE THAT ONE IS ABOUT TO PURSUE IS A DICHOTOMY.
IT IS NOT A BATTLE OF VIOLENCE---IT IS A BATTLE OF PEACE, TO REGAIN THE WHOLENESS.
TO BE ABLE TO SOLIDIFY ONE'S INTENTIONS AND TAKE THE STEPS ONE BY ONE.

NOT ALL WILL WORK OUT THE WAY THAT YOU THOUGHT OR INTENDED.

BEING IN THE PRESENT IS AN AID TO BE ABLE TO ASSESS THE SITUATION AS IT UNFOLDS.
SOMETIMES A VERY SMALL STEP FORWARD, COULD BE THE TURNING POINT AND THE STEPPING STONE.
WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THAT STEP AND OVERTHINKING THE POSSIBLE RESULTS OF THE ACTION, WILL LET ONE SLIDE INTO A STATE OF OBLIVION.

FOR SOME IT IS THE COMFORTABILITY OF KNOWING THAT IT IS BETTER THE ONE THAT ONE KNOWS AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE.

ONE'S REACTION TO ONE'S LIFE, SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.
THE RESPONSE SHOULD BE AS IF ONE WERE IN AN EARTHQUAKE OR IN A SPREADING FIRE.
THAT IS OF COURSE WITHOUT THE PANIC.

THE FLUTTERING THAT ONE FEELS IN A SITUATION IS THE DOUBT AND FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN CREEPING IN.

IF THERE IS FOCUS AND NO INTENTION, THEN THE FEELING WILL TAKE OVER.
THIS LEADS TO NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE THE CORRECT CHOICE OR NOT MAKING ANY CHOICE AT ALL.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE FEELING, AN EMOTION AND AN ENERGY, IS HAVING CONVINCED ONESELF THAT THE 'REALITY' OF WHAT IS BEING EXPERIENCED IS THE ONLY TRUTH AND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
THIS IS A CLASSIC STIMULUS AND RESPONSE.

THE QUESTION IS, HOW DOES ONE BREAK THE CYCLE AND WHERE DOES ONE GO FROM THERE.

WHERE THE EMOTIONS ARE CONCERNED NOTHING IS QUITE SO SIMPLE OR CLEAR CUT, UNLESS ONE ENDEAVOURS TO MAKE THE CHOICE OF WORKING TOWARDS SIMPLICITY.

THE HAMSTER WHEEL IS THE MOST INVITING CHOICE.
CARRY ON IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND AS THE WHEEL TURNS, SO DO YOU, OR DO YOU?

THE TEST THAT YOU HAVE REALLY ACHIEVED SOMETHING WITH ONE'S EMOTIONS ARE:
HAS THE SITUATION CHANGED?
HAS THE STIMULUS BEEN RESOLVED ?
HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY FEEL ?
HAS MY PERSPECTIVE CHANGED ?
HAVE MY THOUGHTS CHANGED ?
HAS MY REALITY CHANGED ?
WHEN CONFRONTING A SITUATION, WHAT IS MY GUT REACTION ?
IS THERE STILL THE NERVOUSNESS ?
DID I MAKE ANY COMMITMENT ?
DID I FOLLOW THROUGH ?
DID I IMPLEMENT ANYTHING NEW ?
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY I FELT AND LOOKED AT THINGS AND HOW I FEEEL NOW AND LOOK AT THINGS ?
DID I MOVE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE ?
DO I STILL LABEL MYSELF AS.....?
DO OTHERS STILL LABEL ME AS......?
ARE YOUR OLDEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY STILL SEEING YOU AS THE SAME ?
HAS MY ATTITUDE CHANGED ANYTHING ANYTHING IN MY LIFE ?
DO I FEEL GUILT OR REMORSE ABOUT ANY PREVIOUS OR CURRENT ACTIONS ?HAVE I MADE AMENDS FOR ANYTHING THAT I HAVE FELT GUILTY OR REMORSEFUL ABOUT ?
DO I BELIEVE IN MYSELF ?
DO I LOVE MYSELF WITHOUT THE VANITY ?
HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO TOUCH SOMEONE CLOSE TO ME ? (FIGURATIVELY)
HAVE I RESOLVED THE CAUSAL ENERGY OF THE ISSUES ?


IF ONE IS WILLING TO START ON THIS AND HAS ACCOMPLISHED SOME OR MOST, THEN ONE IS WELL ON THE WAY TO REGAINING WHAT ONE ONCE HAD.

FROM THE DARKNESS TO THE LIGHT----ALWAYS!
