Why Are We Here?

What has a cast of billions, unlimited scenes and contains all the infinite possibilities of human expression and experience?

The Eternal World Drama

And the seasons they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We’re captive on the carousel of time

We can’t return, we can only look behind

From where we came

And go round and round and round

In the circle game

ESCRIBO PARA TI

Escribo sólo para ti, si, para ti que me lees,

que me entiendes y comprendes,

que tanto me sigues en la distancia.

Que día tras día

te involucras en mis pensamientos,

en mi sentir cotidiano,

inspirando mi espíritu.

Tú que incondicionalmente estas ahí,

siguiendo los versos,

escuchando mis silencios,

descubriendo mis sentimientos.

Sin tu grata presencia

no merecería la pena… Continue

JOPHIEL AND CHRISTINE...Archangel and Archeia of Illumination and Wisdom Yellow ray

Jophiel said:

"The true power of the Flame of Illumination is simply that - illumination. It lights up the heart. It enables everything to be seen clearly. For when we see or hear words of knowledge or information clearly, then we are able to understand. And when we truly understand with every level of our being, then we acquire wisdom. Wisdom cannot come about without illumination, so firstly think carefully about whether what you say or think resonates within your heart, both with… Continue

Change Is Good

Change Is Good

Did you ever think about it, how much we are afraid of change?

Change from being loved, Change of a job,

Change from knowing what we have to do in order to get what we always wanted.

If we shall ask a psychologist what is the greatest fear of all, most probably he will say: "Death". Yes, that makes sense, only that death is also a change. The biggest change of all anyone of us will experience in our lives. Since no one has ever return… Continue

What are we (The experiencer)

The question of what we are has been with us as long as the human race has been around, and I have found my answer which I will share with you. Our we our body.. are we are memories, our thoughts or our ego etc etc. All these things are impermeanent.. The only thing that never changes is that we are the experiencer and consiousness. We are the experiencer and that is all. There is nothing seperating me from you. You are consiousness and you are the experiencer just as I am. We are the same.… Continue

ELMENTOS

Y el ego me dijo:

-Yo soy la fuerza traída por el sol desde el alma de la tierra donde brotaran cicutas.

Y la serenidad me dijo:

-Yo soy la fuerza del mar calmo de tus pensamientos ,donde emergerán las mas bellas rosas de coral.

Y el miedo me dijo:

-Yo soy la fuerza capaz de parar tu mundo separando tu cielo y tu tierra ,donde se asomara la duda de tu noche y tu día.

Y la fe me dijo:

-Yo soy la fuerza del río que le da de beber a tu alma donde pintara la risa… Continue

Healing Wisdom 02 January

"I am a realistic-I expect miracles."

~ Wayne Dyer

"The strongest symptom of wisdom in man is his being sensible of his own follies."

~ François de la Rochefoucauld

It is necessary to have both feet on the ground to be able to truly live life's experiences. A pragmatic attitude is one that can transform dreams into reality. Dreaming too much can block progress that is already clear, because the… Continue

Splinter Groups.

When initially approached about iPeace my instant thought was ... "What a nice idea, I hope it takes off."

I, now, find myself being asked periodically if I'd care to join this, or that, group which appears to be a sub-division of the whole.

Can any-one explain, simply and succinctly, why a group dedicated, apparently, to a form of Global Peace should want to sub-divide itself again?

Isn't this rather defeating the entire object of the exercise?

As an afterthought a Happy… Continue

NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT!

To call HIMSELF GOD!

Muhamed

Creator

No country has the right to decide who will die or live,who's children will suffer and who's won't

No one cares!

Is a LIE!!

DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO BRAINWASH YOU WITH THE FILTH THEY SPREAD SO FREELY!

How can anyone look at broken bodies of children and babies and say they don't care!?

When all is said and done,all will have to answer to CREATOR for the atrocities inflicted on the children!!

TO CONDONE THESE ACTIONS… Continue

I heard a baby cry

I heard a baby cry

A THOUSAND TIMES!

in one day!

the tears fell freely

as he cried to be heard

I'm sorry my child

I cannot hear you

the bombs are loud

the burst are to bright

I cannot see you

I want to hold you

but I cannot

for now you are but a whisper on the winds

the light I seen in your eyes as a child

no longer flicker in the winds of my heart

now all I have is an empty space

where no sounds to… Continue

New Year's Day Peace Vigil

This was the third year running that Angie and I turned up on the steps of Eastbourne Town Hall, to join a group of fellow peace activists. Our supportive mayor, Greg Szanto, joined us for the annual New Year's Day vigil. Each year we hold up big letters to spell a slogan, which this time I'd have liked to be something like 'SAVE GAZA'; instead, it was the message below, which seemed fine. Our poor sweet world needs hope as much as… Continue
