Peace museums, symposiums, Peace Corps and quotes,
Peace movements, improvements, Peace trains and Peace zones;
We live in a world filled with Peace's galore,
Yet His children yearn for its glimpse even more.
Peace symbols and sculptures, trade as banal produce
In many misdirections beckon Peace in profuse;
'Planetary Non-Violence' is liberally preached,
As reckless ignorance exalts to its peak.
Unobserved reactions lead to desperate despair,
As sickly senile we search Peace in the air;
With fraudulent feelings we oft' masquerade,
And Patrons of Peace! Yes, for Peace we crusade!
Their position and place as we estimate,
Shrewdly sharp we silently segregate;
With Counterfeit Compassion we Swindle the Self,
As we dig and drill depths of our own hell.
Clinging to what was, Resisting the now
We blame and complain, What? Why? Oh but How?
Collective dysfunction stifles and shrouds,
The Peace within that we look for in crowds.
Peace! Whose job is it? Yours, mine or His?
What Hardens it to Accept all as is?
Stiff chains of the Ego crush and restraint,
The urge to introspect and with self to acquaint.
For if you did, you would then know
That you search all over, you're fit to bestow;
Underneath the veil of the mold and the clay,
Peace lies in piles, one decision away.
The onus lies with you, 'Dear Soul',
With power to pledge peace in your own home;
Ignite your own light and lend your two cents
With eyes on the self, learn to serve your descent.
As the warble of psalms and songs here delight,
Let with sweet communion now each heart light
The day, like Shimmering Beacons of Peace
That Echo with Love beyond mortal reach.
A Gathering of Stars we see here unite
Mystic Incantations and silence recite
A Lasting Legend of Love that breathes,
Past bounds of Time and Space and Speech.
Let's cite our Saga beyond the Somatic Realm,
As we amass again with One at the Helm;
And as we Parley the Pieces of Peace,
Let's just hold pure feelings and love for each.
For that's the seed from which Peace springs..
Good wishes, pure feelings, with tranquil they ring;
Acceptance of all with a generous heart,
Regard for each as they play their part!

god-is-truth
God is the truth, is a statement that we hear all the time from different sources.
Let us inquire into this.
We know as "truth" as "that which is in accordance with a fact or reality."
Throughout these writings we have been able to observe that only perceptions are all we could ever obtain, because there are different roles performed by different actors in this Drama of life, which have different stages of consciousness.
Human beings do not perceive things in the same way.
As we progress in our knowledge of the world and the universe, what we call as "fact" is merely a perception. That is why to "know that we don't know" is to be "real." :-)
When we approach God, we have religions and philosophies dealing with him in several ways as something "outside" us. That becomes a source of debate about "who has the truth. Who has God."
It is important to note that we could only get perceptions of that experience which we may call God. Some may say, that God is this or that. Perceptions.
Every religion has its own procedures to deal with the perception by extending the experience of one individual as the "way" of knowing God. That becomes a belief. Something to have faith on.
That is why, some will extend the meaning of "knowing God" as knowing "the word of God," that is someone knows God when that one hears "his words" and follows those words literally.
Those words accordingly are written in some sort of scripture, some sort of book or booklet, where we could "get the truth."
Nevertheless, there is no way that words could reflect truth, specially spiritual truth.
Why?
Because any ordinary language can only express duality, and the depth of spirituality resides in understanding that duality exists, but also to go beyond it.
That "going beyond," is not in the realm of words.
That is why to connect with feelings of the heart has been used by religions to connect with the "truth," with God. Nevertheless, the outcome of that connection has to be shown in our own actions; otherwise those feelings become mere sentimental, emotional outlets, a source for devotional upliftment for the heart, but without the force to express itself in our own activity.
It has been said that: "The highest truth cannot be put into words. Therefore, the greatest teacher has nothing to say. He simply gives himself in service, and never worries." (Hua Hu Ching )
Activity over words and language. Don't talk, for, it could be misunderstood. Just do the walk and let everyone see.
For example, some scriptures could express that marriage is "bad." Others that celibacy is "good," etc.
Please note that this "all or nothing" approach is not reflecting truth but is reflecting a teaching according to time and to certain individuals according to traditions and levels of understanding.
If marriage was "bad," then societies wouldn't be able to survive. For a society depends on a couple as the building block to survive.
Likewise, celibacy is not for everyone. As we know, "actors" need to come on to this "stage" of the Drama of life and that happens through reproduction.
Similarly if we go to an extreme, like in killing, we could observe that life may offer "tests" when
killing may be necessary as a last resort as in self-defense or even when euthanasia is considered.
We also know that there is "no killing" in the unlimited, for, we are eternal beings, but there is "cause and effect," thus, what we do will come back to us.
A commandment such as "you shall not murder" could be extended to murder of animals for some, while for others that is not the "true" meaning of that commandment.
Note that religious teachings have been given according to the consciousness of those being taught.
Note that "black or white" statements are meant to reform personalities, their ways of living. They are meant for a particular type of people at a particular time. That is why, the "word of God," cannot be put into words as the "ultimate truth," but rather as a reference for behavioral change.
Therefore, the only thing that I could truly attempt to know in its fullest extent is the self, for no one can know more about myself than myself.
Below some quotes to spark the need for self-knowledge:
* Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.
Proverbs 21:2
(Actions are in itself neutral. Our hearts, our intentions, our consciousness make those activities "good or bad.")
* When asked what was the most difficult thing, Thales replied, "To know thyself."
When asked what was easiest, he replied, "To give advice."
* Katha Upanishad: The Self lies beyond the senses and can only be understood by him who knows It is.
* Ramayana: Enquiry into the truth of the Self is knowledge.
* Koran: And Do thou, Oh Muhammad, remember thy Lord within thyself.
* Tao Te Ching: Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering
others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.
A spiritual seeker, perhaps will start looking for the truth. He will start looking for anything outside him including the idea that he has about God. However, that search sooner or later will go back to the inner self, that is the only truth we could ever get close to in a world ruled by perceptions where our perception about ourselves is our own reality.
Spirituality then is meant to change that perception to the highest one of ourselves.
That truth cannot be put into words.

Inner landscape of beautiful thoughts
 
 
Introversion
 
 

The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn my thoughts away from all my responsibilities at the day's end and take my mind into a state of peace and benevolence enables me to carry greater and greater loads without feeling the burden. When my inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. Gently, I calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.
 
 
 
 
When there is a crisis, there is also opportunity.
 
In order to see the opportunity we need courage and trust.
 
Courage helps us to feel that there is benefit in every unfolding scene of life.
 
Trust helps us to stay stable and calm in the face of crisis.
 
Courage and trust gives us the assurance that everything will be fine.
 
 
 
 
 
Cooking And Eating With A Spiritual Touch (cont.)
 
 

When the subtle, spiritual aspect of cooking is taken into consideration, the role of the cook extends from simply creating tasty, nourishing meals with fresh ingredients, to including a spiritual connection with those who will be eating that food. The aim will be to touch and fill the heart as well as the stomach. The love of the cook, and his or her motivation to offer sustenance, will nourish as much as the physical components of each dish. Food cooked by a person who is angry, depressed or full of arrogance or hatred will have a different effect from food cooked with feelings of love, peace and the pure desire to serve. In other words, we are what we eat but also the thoughts, feelings and attitudes that go into what we are eating. Even in today's hectic lifestyle, when there sometimes seems to be hardly enough time to cook, let alone do so peacefully and caringly, it is therefore definitely beneficial to develop a positive attitude towards cooking. Before undertaking any food preparation, remind yourself that the task at hand can and should be an enjoyable and creative activity or experience, rather than an unpleasant, time-consuming activity. A good practice, then, is to meditate before cooking and then to let preparing the meal itself be a creative, meditative experience which yields a balanced, health-promoting diet for the body as a temple for the soul deity. Food always tastes better when it has been flavored or with love and happiness.

Message for the day

The one with true mercy fills hope even in the ones who are hopeless.

Expression: When we see someone who is in need or who is totally negative, a case that is totally hopeless, there are a lot of feelings aroused within us. What we feel is pity or hatred, which are only negative feelings. Such negative thoughts don't help in anyway and the people remains as they are, unable to take any benefit from us.

Experience: Instead of having pity or hatred we need to develop true mercy for others. To have mercy means to have good wishes with love - combined with hope for them. It is our hope that enables them to develop faith in themselves too. This is the method to bring progress even in the most hopeless case.
