On Gramas' Rules

As they sat, each with her own mug, the old woman settled on the bed and the girl on the chair, the grandmother began to speak. 

"You will find two kinds of people in the world. Some say that there are the bad and the good. But it isn't like that.  Since what is good for one may be bad for another.  No, that doesn't work.  You have to depend on your own intuition."

"There are those who make you feel inside as if you are drinking a good, warm soup - even if you are hungry and the two of you have nothing to eat. In spite of that they nourish you. And then there are those who cause you to freeze inside, even if you are sitting before a roaring fire and have eaten your fill. Those you should keep away from. They are not good for you, even though others might say they are good people. Remember that my chick."

The girl nodded.

"The second rule says that the door to a person's heart can only be opened from within. If there is someone who will not let you in, it's no use hammering and kicking and lamenting and complaining. For what if the door is ajar, and you push it shut? With some people it can never be opened again."

"What else?" the girl asked.

"Then there is the third and most important rule. It's about a person's need to continue wishing and hoping, for then, at last, you will get what was wished and hoped for - even if it is in a completely different way from what you had imagined."

Travelling

I have traveled through the round of countless births.
How painful is birth over and over again.
 

Thoughts

 

Send out caring thoughts, 

On gentle healing wings,
To reach around the world, 

For thoughts are living things,
Send thoughts to those in sorrow, those in sickness and despair,
Like ripples in a pond, thoughts spread everywhere,
Send thoughts of love and healing, 

To each far distant shore,

And pray for all the nations to be at peace once more,
For loving thoughts you send, many miracles are wrought,
So never underestimate, the power of your thoughts.

On Love

On Play

Play is the only way
the highest intelligence of humankind
can unfold.

On Sunrise

To be able to greet the sun with the sounds from all of Nature is a great blessing, and it helps us to remember Who is the real provider of all of our benefits.

Thomas Yellowtail, Crow

On Infinity

 

In each infinitesimal part of yourself resides the One 

in all of its' parts.  (B1, 146)

On Saints and Sinners

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

On Anger

Why do people shout in anger at each other?  Why do we shout when the other person is just next to us?

When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distant. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they shout to hear each other, to cover that great distance.

What happens when two people are in love? They talk softly with each other.  Even in silence, communication is full and complete. The distance between their hearts is very small or nonexistent. 

So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant.  There may come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

Awareness

We are all aware of each other on levels deeper than the horizon.

Remember?

Before you judge

 

Before you judge others or claim any absolute truth, consider that you can see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1% of the acoustic spectrum.  

As you read this, you are travelling at 220 kilometers per second across the galaxy.  

90% of the cells in your body carry their own microbial DNA and are not 'you.'  

The atoms in your body are 99,9999999999999999% empty space and none of them are the ones you were born with, but they all originated in the belly of a star.  

Human beings have 46 chromosomes, 2 less than the common potatoe.  

The existance of the rainbow depends on the conical photreceptors in your eyes; to animals without cones, the rainbow does not exist.  So you don't just look at a rainbow, you create it.  

This is pretty amazing, especially considering that all the beautiful colors you see represent less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Valuing Exercise

By mindfully practising this principle, you will notice yourself gently moving out of abusive relationships.

Guaranteed. 

One can start by simply noticing, then gently making a choice.
Small choices work too, step by step. 

 Choose to place your energy where you are valued.

Intention

Today, wherever you go, carry the intention of peace, love 

and  harmony in your heart.

On Change

The Universe is a continuous web.

Touch it at any point and the whole web ripples.

Our chosen shiftings can begin in any moment of Now.

Be gentle in your shiftings, 

in Knowing your movement ripples outward,
affecting your whole system.

On Sacredness

On Healing

And I deeply pray that 

everyone discovers that they can strip away anything that might be holding them back on every level, and, 

can begin living Life 

from the real essence of their own Soul.

Discernment

One of life's challenges is to discern whether the inner voice that prompts us in a particular direction is sourced by the sacred that lives within us or is from a smaller, less aware aspect of self that is sometimes caught in fear. 

The Beloved may urge moving in a direction that is challenging, but it never holds the edge of harshness that arises from old wounds or fresh fears. Wisdom speaks in a tone of tenderness even when urging us to find the courage to be who we are.

Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Healing

  Know, too, that you will challenge yourself 

time and time again 

until you really believe this, 

honor this, and

 live it.

I Am

Do not pretend to know my mystery,

I Am the light without light,

I Am the form without form,

I Am beyond all human comprehension.

                         

Your Souls dwell in me as delicate threads of a sacred mantle.

It is only through a pure and transformed Heart

that you will come to me. 

My way is the way of the Heart.

Teachings of Sri Babaji

Ocean

Like the birds of the sea,
men come from the ocean,

The ocean of the Eternal Soul

Rumi

Tree

One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the ages can.

William Wordsworth

When Women Wake

Tao Te Ching

Alive

It is a privilege to be alive in this time when we can choose to take part in the self-healing of our world.

Miracle

Delegation

"Delegate it to the manager. 
You have this really good staff that will take care of everything 
for you. 
You just have to delegate it — and trust it." 

Abraham

Cloth of Heaven

Had I the heavens embroidered cloths,
woven with golden and silver light,
The blue cloth, the opaque and obscure
of the night, day, dawn and dusk,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
but I'm poor and I have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
walk lightly, because it is on my dreams you walk.

W. B. Yeats

Magic

Whether you believe me or not, 

the world is full of magic, beautiful places and thoughts  

that are there for every living thing, 

that intend to give life a chance.

                                                 From "Il vento dell'oceano", S. Bambarén  
                                                                Ill. by Suzanne Woolcott

Inside you there is an inviolate silence 

and a sanctuary  

to which you can withdraw at any time and be yourself.

Take back your Power.
