Pacify



Family » by Jo Christian Oterhals)



At some point during this past winter, I thought it would be interesting to see if I could come up with a bunch of songs that I could play on my own, without the need of a backing band. I had always wanted to try my luck at busking, but because of the demands of Poligraf, I…

Robin Robertson

Indra’s Net : Alchemy and Chaos Theory as Models for Transformation

(Wheaton, IL: Quest Books, 2009, 182pp.)

 

            The most important lesson

            but one that’s seldom adequately learned

            in which all affect and are…

By Mark Mason

 

July 16, 2013

 

- Imagine you have a brother and he’s an alcoholic. He has his moments, but you keep your distance from him. You don’t mind him for the occasional family gathering or holiday. You still love him.

Metamorphosis by Maria-Luise Bodirsky

 

May you awaken to the mystery of being here

and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.

May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.

May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon.

May you respond to the call of your gift and find the courage to follow its path.

May the flame of anger free you from falsity.

May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame and may anxiety never linger about you.

May your outer dignity…

WHAT THE SHAMAN DOES

Bodies are articulations. The human body is one form of biotic speech, similar to yet different from the body of the jaguar, as to the body of the orca, as to the sable-feathered, light boned flesh of raven.

Through bodies, evolution, diversity, even Earth herself and guiding divinity, initiates communication. Such is why there are levels of motion and differences in textures and colors and sensitivities.

Rene Wadlow

 

 

            I do not believe that the spiritual law works in a field of its own.  On the contrary, it expresses itself only through the ordinary activities of life.  It thus affects the economic, the social and the political fields.       Mohandas K. Gandhi

 

             For Mahatma Gandhi, non-violence…

As the songbirds of the evening

lay their wings down and nest.

as its soothes your living soul.

Find you a chair,ease your burdens for the day,

as the winds blow softly over your skin.

Allow the evening shadows to fall where they may,

as you land softly on your pillow of…
