INNER PEACE ~ BALANCING ACT

AS HUMAN BEINGS WE ALL WANT TO BE HAPPY AND FREE FROM MISERY.
WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE KEY TO HAPPINESS IS INNER PEACE.
THE GREATEST OBSTACLES TO INNER PEACE ARE DISTURBING EMOTIONS
SUCH AS ANGER AND ATTACHMENT, FEAR AND SUSPICION,
WHILE LOVE AND COMPASSION, A SENSE OF UNIVERSAL RESPONSIBILITY
ARE THE SOURCES OF PEACE AND HAPPINESS.

CHANGE IS CONSTANT AND CHANGE WE MUST

TIME FOR A COOL CHANGE

Man is in the process of changing,
to forms that are not of this world;
grows he in time to the formless,
a plane on the cycle above.
Know ye, ye must become formless
before ye are one with the light.

Adapted from the Emerald Tablets of Thoth

SEEING WITH YOUR HEART

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a
green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and
deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the
man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.
- William Blake, 1799, The Letters

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
- Kahlil Gibran

What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection
of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
- Gandhi

Learn to see, and then you'll know that
there is no end to the new worlds of our vision.
- Carlos Castaneda

Your vision will become clear only when you look
into your heart. ... Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens.
- Carl Jung

When there's nothing to see, look.
- Dakota Indian saying

The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of.
- Charles H. Perkhurst

If you gaze for long, the abyss also gazes into you.
- Nietzsche

The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
- Thoreau

KNOW THAT WE COULD ALL LEARN TO "SEE" BETTER...
IMAGINE MORE...
FEEL IT WITH OUR HEARTS...

FROM THE STARS~WE CARRY THE LIGHT

ANGELS OF THE LIGHT

THERE WAS ONLY LIGHT
AND RADIANT WAVES OF LOVE
WE WERE THE LIGHT
WE WERE THE LOVE
AND WE WERE ONE
WE WERE A MAGNIFICENT,
GLOWING,
LOVING SUN
SENDING FORTH OUR LIGHT TO ALL
SO THE UNIVERSE WOULD KNOW
ETERNAL TRUTH
HELD BY THE WISDOM OF LOVE,
THE LOVE THAT I AM
THE LOVE THAT WE ARE,
LIGHT FROM A GLOWING, LOVING STAR

THE POWER OF OUR LOVE
BLAZED INTENSE AND BRIGHT
OUR STAR COULD NO MORE CONTAIN
THE LOVE AND LIGHT,
AND WE WERE MANY
WE WERE MAGNIFICENT,
GLOWING
LOVING ANGELS
CARRYING FORTH TO ALL, OUR STAR
SO THE UNIVERSE WOULD KNOW
ETERNAL WISDOM
EMBRACED BY THE TRUTH OF LOVE,
THE LOVE THAT I AM,
THE LOVE THAT WE ARE,
LIGHT FROM A GLOWING, LOVING STAR

IN THE DEPTH OF LOVE WE CAME
TO SAVE THIS WORLD FROM INNER DEATH,
TO TRANSMUTE MATTER INTO LIGHT,
TO LIFT ITS LOW VIBRATION
BEYOND THE DARK OF NIGHT
AND SPARE THIS ICY, DENSER REALM
ITS PLUNGING, HOPELESS FLIGHT

IN GIVING SO MUCH LIGHT AND LOVE
WE'VE NEARLY ALL FORGOT
OUR MAGNIFICENT, GLOWING, STARRY PAST
BELIEVING WHAT WE'RE NOT
AND NOW WE MUST REMEMBER
THE TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE-
ANGELS BEINGS CO-CREATING,
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF A STAR
WE ARE MAGNIFICENT,
GLOWING,
LOVING CHILDREN
OF A NEARLY FORGOTTEN SUN
WHOSE LIGHT GOES FORTH TO BRIGHTEN ALL
SO THE WORLD WOULD KNOW IT'S ONE,
ENFOLDED BY THE POWER OF LOVE,
THE LOVE THAT I AM,
THE LOVE THAT WE ARE
LIGHT FROM A GLOWING, LOVING STAR

Unknown


REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM
AND REACH FOR THE STARS ONCE AGAIN

IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

The monkey sat on a pile of stone
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
Strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier

When you add it all up
The tears and the marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans kill the Jews
And the Jews kill the Arabs
And the Arabs kill the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama, the President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History is for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine
Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden

[Marv Albert:] "Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert
And welcome to our telecast
Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium
It's a beautiful day
And today we expect a sensational matchup
But first our global anthem"

It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,

[Marv:] "And here come the players
As I speak to you now, the captain
Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig
He's at periscope depth
It looks to me like he's going to attack
By the way did you know that a submarine
Captain earns 200,000 dollars a year"
[Edward:]"That's less tax Marv"
[Marv:]"Yeah, less tax
Thank you Edward"
[Edward:]"You're welcome"
[Marv:]"Now back to the game...he fires one...yes
There goes two; both fish are running
The rig is going into a prevent defense
Will they make it? I don't think so"
Look out!
Look at that baby burn!

Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,

Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense

GUARDIANS OF THE FOREST~EARTH & SKY

ON THE WOODS OF ANCIENT DAYS
LIVED THE BEAUTIFUL, THE FAE
GUARDIANS OF THE EARTH AND SKY
FORESTS RAZED AND TEARS THEY CRIED
DEEP WITHIN THE TREES THEIR KEEP
BANISHED FROM THE WORLD THEY SLEEP
UNTIL THE DAYS OF NOW ARE OLD
WITHDRAWN FROM THE HUMAN'S HOLD

J.R.R. TOLKIEN & THE ELVEN WORLD

I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.
I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see.

For still there are so many things that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring there is a different green.
I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago,
and people who will see a world that I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think of times there were before
Sit-and-Think listen for returning feet and voices at the door.

JRR TOLKIEN

If there is to be peace in the world
There must be peace in the nations'
If there is to be peace in the nations'

There must be peace in the cities'
If there is to be peace in the cities'

There must be peace between neighbors'
If there is to be peace between neighbors'

There must be peace in the home

WINGS OF THE AIR

THE LIFE OF AN INDIAN IS LIKE THE WINGS OF THE AIR. THAT IS WHY YOU NOTICE THE HAWK KNOWS HOW TO GET HIS PREY. THE INDIAN IS LIKE THAT. THE HAWK SWOOPS DOWN ON ITS PREY; SO DOES THE INDIAN. IN HIS LAMENT HE IS LIKE AN ANIMAL. FOR INSTANCE, THE COYOTE IS SLY; SO IS THE INDIAN. THE EAGLE IS THE SAME. THAT IS WHY THE INDIAN IS ALWAYS FEATHERED UP; HE IS A RELATIVE TO THE WINGS OF THE AIR.

Black Elk Oglala Sioux holy man

ALL BIRDS, EVEN THOSE OF THE SAME SPECIES ARE NOT ALIKE, AND IT IS THE SAME WITH ANIMALS AND WITH HUMAN BEINGS. THE REASON WAKANTANKA DOES NOT MAKE TWO BIRDS, OR ANIMALS, OR HUMAN BEINGS EXACTLY ALIKE IS BECAUSE EACH IS PLACED HERE BY WAKANTANKA TO BE AN INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUALITY AND TO RELY UPON ITSELF.
