A simple way: Progress without delusion
Time spent in contemplation is not wasted
Emptiness is not barren
Stillness is not without purpose
To find yourself
You must first forget yourself
Who is there to compete with?
In the end there is only You.
Standing here, debating there
We forget ~ Words are only tools
Experience teaches
You're complete before you start
To realise your true self is to find something greater within
and to realise your place without
You must care but remain carefree
Anger is to lose yourself, to less instead of more
Greed is to set yourself apart and then to reach for extra
To find increase in increase to desire desire
Forgetting what you always had and disregarding what you need
This way you will never have enough
To love selfishly is to claim someone else's attention as your right
To love unselfishly is to give all that you have without restraint
To mistake love for a possession is not the way
Dispense with delusion ~ Nothing else, matters
Despite what they say
In-spite of what they do
(I'll tell you something that you always knew)
You were born free.
Clouds Of Glory
In Uncategorized on March 2, 2012 at 10:58 amOur birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
Shades of the prison-house begin to close
Upon the growing Boy,
But he beholds the light, and whence it flows,
He sees it in his joy;
The Youth, who daily farther from the east
Must travel, still is Nature's priest,
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended;
At length the Man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of common day.
- William Wordsworth 1770-1850
“Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin” – Josiah Stamp that’s all I have to say about that
In Uncategorized on February 14, 2012 at 12:30 am"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." - Josiah Stamp
