Water and Light

The student looked and pondered a patch of the Sun reflected on the water and thought, the soul must be like a patch of light shining!  And then the student thought, oh how sad if the light cannot drink anything?  It must want to drink the water! But if it does, he will no longer be a patch of light, he will be cooled and colored. 

Then he heard inspired angels voices speaking 

See beloved student how the The water feels the light as the water of itself which it cannot feel without light, and the light sees water as a substance it wants to live in.  Each gives to the other and whirls in a dance of becoming life. 



Wisdom

Wisdom is a very special seed of the spirit. It comes through unknown channels and ways to us, but some teachers say it is here or there, and some are right, but when the seed is not found we are often troubled and believe it cannot come, or it is a myth. 

To obtain the seed and the tree of wisdom one must practice and meditate each day and not give up on oneself. Then one day the light will illumine the place where the real seed of wisdom has sprouted in the heart.  Then, a  New Soul has come! It has sprouted. 

Go oh student and get your water and clear the weeds, and feel how much of this is the miracle of love born in your our being.

Wisdom, Forgiveness and Grace

To have wisdom requires wisdom. It is a contradiction in a way but when a teacher (Buddha or his Bodhisattva nature) is present then the karma activates a dharmachakra. It bares an esoteric name but is known as a great and beautiful truth but also as a deadly weapon. Ancient man was deeply terrified of this, and so it became more and more hidden, and caused much concern for those who knew of it. And so forgiveness inserts itself between and also grace. "Grace" as in 'time to sort it out'. But it also cycles round and then the time must not have been wasted and the true and good course must have been sought after and found (at least in the trying, new grace will come).

Each soul is actually to form a 'gem' or 'diamond' and the earth turns in a perfection of 'roundness' , so you see the craftsman turning his substance against the 'wheel of the planet' .  



Woman

Where does love begin?....the woman. No one blames you....I do not blame you. The hunger for love is in us all. Can we understand how to understand? Yes we can see with hearts and eyes open wide for what is wise, and good, and true. I cannot blame her or anyone. I see the root is in the heart and there too is the soil of the soul in the deepest depth of the body where it mingles with the lowest but fertile substance of the earth. She is dark and beautiful, our primal mother that gives life to us all. And she is the dark, the hidden beautiful, and the fertile. And divine when the light of her lover finds her through the darkness. From that lowest form, it can sprout and spring forth, and break the soil above her form, and push herself above the world below until she is found there, above in the heights of the heavens.

Believe in her power - she is the mother of all living things. Old as the world, and before all religions - she was the desire in the soul and spirit of the darkest and furthest from heaven and the gods. But she knew the way too. How? The same desire that starts afresh in each new love always follows the path back to the source from whence it sprang. So where is the heart? It is in the body of the earth in our soul.

World Reform

He who would reform the world must first reform himself; and that, if he do it honestly, will keep him so employed that he will have no time to criticize his neighbor.

Nevertheless, his neighbor will be benefited -- even as a man without a candle, who at last discerns another's light.
