This blog deals with my search for truth and meaning in life - poems I've written over the years, essays, thoughts on the nature of reality and short stories as an outlet for my creativity and spirituality, as well as other words of inspiration that I would like to share. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is one of my favourite books. The Seagull is the source of my inspiration. I hope you enjoy it!
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
“They are saying in the Flock that if you are not the Son of the Great Gull Himself”, Fletcher told Jonathan one morning after Advanced Speed Practice, “then you are a thousand years ahead of your time.”
Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood he thought. They call you devil or they call you god. “What do you think, Fletch? Are we ahead of our time?”
A long silence, “Well, this kind of flying has always been here to be learned by anyone who wanted to discover it; that’s got nothing to do with time. We’re ahead of the fashion, maybe. Ahead of the way that most gulls fly.”“That’s something,” Jonathan said, rolling to glide inverted for a while. “That’s not half as bad as being ahead of our time”.

Oh My Love - John Lennon
My eyes are wide open
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My eyes can see
I see the wind
Oh, I see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
I see the clouds
Oh, I see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
I feel the sorrow
Oh, I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
I feel life
Oh, I feel love
Everything is clear in our world

Love Yourself
Always try to look after yourself,
Look after Your physical body,
Look after Your soul,
Look after Your mind.
Love Yourself,
You can only love others fully,
If you first replenish Your own energy,
If you first nourish the love that is within You.
Look after Your physical body,
Look after Your soul,
Look after Your mind.
Love Yourself,
You can only love others fully,
If you first replenish Your own energy,
If you first nourish the love that is within You.
Don't feel guilty about looking after Yourself these
days,
Because this gives You the energy,
Because this gives You the energy,
The energy to invite Others into Your energy
field,
Should They desire it.
Be kind to Yourself,
Give Yourself fully to the energy,
To be the best You
can be,
In every single moment.
This will be easy,
When You love Yourself,
For then you can best serve others,
Because ultimately there is no difference,
Between Yourself and Others,
Serve Others - serve Yourself,
Serve Yourself - serve Others.
For then you can best serve others,
Because ultimately there is no difference,
Between Yourself and Others,
Serve Others - serve Yourself,
Serve Yourself - serve Others.

The Heart That Is You
It is the mind that worries,
It is the mind that lacks faith,
It is the mind that lacks faith,
It is the mind that doubts.
Remember,
Beyond the mind and its doubts is the heart,
The feelings of the heart are always there,
The heart is above and below the mind,
The heart is within and outside the mind.
The feelings of the heart are always there,
The heart is above and below the mind,
The heart is within and outside the mind.
It is the heart that truly knows,
It is the heart that truly accepts,
It is the heart that truly creates,
It is the heart that Is,
It is the heart that Is You.

True Being
Traversing the divine matrix,
You ride the waves of eternity.
You dissolve into the universe,
As the waveforms expand,
And the particles dissipate.
And the particles dissipate.
There is a resonance now,
Vibrating, energetic perfection,
Alive to infinite possibilities,
The power to transmute matter,
The power to transform pain,
The power to heal.
This is beyond reality,
This is the Absolute.
This is the Absolute.
Breathe,
Step back again,
Relax,
Do nothing
Be nothing,
But Be everything.
This is you Being at your core,
A Being of light,
Of energy,
Of waveforms,
Of Vibration.
Where there is no separation,
From All that Is.
You have transcended the illusions,
And you are alive to eternal, infinite possibility.
Connect the points in space,
Connect the points in time,
Feel the perfection,
Which is gnosis.
The perfection of your body is rekindled,
It can be done,
it will be done.
It is.

György Ligeti: Lux Aeterna
....an aural representation of cosmic consciousness...
......a journey both above and below.....
.....a journey both within and without.....
....the evolution of form from potential....
....of the male and the feminine.....
......light eternal......

Non-Attachment to Outcomes
Fixation on the outcome of things has always been a big issue for me, so I am greatly relieved that I am at least conscious of it now, if not always able to put non-attachment to outcome into practice.
I realise that in the past I have taken rejection and failure badly and I have internalised the associated pain into my emotional body. This is the normal state of affairs for nearly everyone!
I have found that the secret is to maintain an emotional detachment from ....for example - work - it is my job, but it is not me....therefore, I can maintain some distance and not get “sucked into the drama”...to not feel that there has to be a positive outcome to the things I am engaged in to make me feel happy....or indeed a negative outcome to make me feel sad, upset, angry...the situation is as it is. I accept it so as not to respond emotionally...though that isn’t to say that I shouldn’t ask for answers, but I try to do so in an unattached way.....
I have definitely been responding more consciously to these things at work. I am becoming much better at integrating my state of Being into my work-life (while recognising my slips backwards and forgiving myself)....it is kind of a paradoxical thing....letting go and accepting is not doing nothing (Jeshua talks about this through Pamela Kribbe in "From Ego to Heart III" http://www.jeshua.net ), but it is a case of “allowing the universe to unfold as it should” to quote Disderata.
There is a reason for and a message in everything from which to learn ...it’s just a matter of being conscious of the many possible choices we can make in any given moment.....is this action fulfilling a need for outcome that I have in my self? Is this response from my highest level of truth? Do I need to say this/do this? Will my response stir things up and muddy the waters or will it bring clarity to me?

Only each of us as individual souls can make these choices for ourselves.....It is our consciousness that creates the reality we live and will live in the future....but choices from the higher truth open up numerous other possibilities....we create a space in which to Be and in which others are invited to enter into.....and the more open our hearts are to these possibilities and the less fixated we are on outcomes, based on the mind, the better it is for us....and the future of humanity on Earth....
