Sleek sky of cobalt blue;
Water like nectar satisfies deeply.
Air sweeter than the best perfume;
Sunlight warms a grateful cat.
– Deng Ming-Dao
What Dreams May Come
nothing is free
the scales will
always be balanced
nothing handed to you
nothing deserved
here and now
do the work
and find your
Self in the
Light
Your desire knows you well
The serpent of wisdom
Dragon of temptation
A fair woman
Guardian
The Castle
And Jewels
All fine prizes
In a future
Bounded by
the
Light
What can it all mean
Dreams
Visions
Imagination
Illusions
Deceptions
I had a dream
For my self
I AM in it
Living it
With you
Now
Slave to the Quest
O friend! Hope for Him whilst you live, know while you live, understand while you live:
for in life deliverance abides.
If your bonds be not broken whilst living, what hope of deliverance in death?
It is but an empty dream that the soul shall have union with Him because it has passed from the body:
If He is found now, He is found then, if not, we do but go to dwell in the city of Death. If you have union now, you shall have it hereafter.
Bathe in the Truth, know the true Guru, have faith in the true Name.
Kabir says:
It is the spirit of the quest that helps;
I am the slave of the Spirit of the quest.
– Songs of Kabir (York Beach, Maine: Samuel Weiser, Inc., 1991), pps. 46-47
Destiny Within
If not now, when?
If not me, who?

Quality of Being
It is not
By fame
Or Letters
That one makes
A difference
In the world
It is by
Quality of
Thought
Action
And
Creativity
Creed or Christ
Origen – Early Christian Scholar
No man loves God who hates his kind,
Who tramples on his brother’s heart and soul;
Who seeks to shackle, cloud, or fog the mind
By fears of hell has not perceived our goal.
God-sent are all religions blest;
And Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life,
To give the heavy laden rest
And peace from sorrow, sin, and strife.
Behold the Universal Spirit came
To all the churches, not to one alone;
On Pentecostal morn a tongue of flame
Round each apostle as a halo shone.
Since then, as vultures ravenous with greed,
We oft have battled for an empty name,
And sought by dogma, edict, cult, or creed,
To send each other to the quenchless flame.
Is Christ then twain? Was Cephas, Paul,
To save the world, nailed to the tree?
Then why divisions here at all?
Christ’s love enfolds both you and me.
His pure sweet love is not confined
By creed which segregate and raise a wall.
His love enfolds, embraces human kind,
No matter what ourselves or Him we call.
Then why not take Him at His word?
Why hold to creeds which tear apart?
But one thing matters, be it heard
That brother love fill every heart.
There’s but one thing the world has need to know.
There’s but one balm for all our human woe:
There’s but one way that leads to heaven above–
That way is human sympathy and love.
– Max Heindel – Rosicrucian Scholar

Life as a Play
“Illusion sets the stage for revelation in order to
reveal hard to get at truths.” – Stanley Milgrim
Teachings of a Fool No. 1
A Teacher promised a disciple that he would reveal something much more important than was to be found in all the scriptures. When the disciple, being very impatient, asked the Teacher yet again to keep his promise, the Teacher said:
‘Go outside into the rain, and stand with your arms open and your head raised to the sky.’
The next day, the disciple returned to the Teacher and informed him:
‘I took your advice and I was soaked to the bone… I felt a perfect fool.’
‘Well’, replied the Teacher, ‘for the first day that is quite a revelation, is it not?’
‘Someone engaged in self-study should not have a fool for a teacher’
– Anon
Or perhaps learning to be a Fool is the only way to learn? Become The Fool and be foolish always.
Thus Endeth the lesson.
I added this part, omega.
