...so in muhammads compound one day there was a terrific row..very noisy with lots of shouting for a long time.

Everyone was concerned but no-one dared intrude to see if everything was ok. umar the friend of muhammad was called and when he heard the row he shouted  out loud of his arrival as he knocked on the door. When he entered he was surprised to see the prophet relaxed and laughing and laughing.. the wives had all disappeared to the next room and were silent.

I live far off in the wild

Where moss and woods are thick and plants perfumed.

I can see mountains rain or shine

And never hear market noise.

I light a few leaves in my stove to heat tea.

To patch my robe I cut off a cloud.

Lifetimes seldom fill a hundred years.

Why suffer for profit and fame?

I Love my God Our God and my growing up GOD was the easiest and most loving name that came out of my mouth in prayers.

When I grew to be a young man joy came to me by saying " Oh Lord You spoke to me once and I hear You two times.

I wish peace was on this Earth all of the time, where at night you could not sleep,  a nice peaceful walk could be had, no worries.

Whatever you want to do call on God first to lead and take charge of you meaning your whole life.

I say…

If I cannot find the world I like outside,

I will create it inside myself and...

I will reserve the right of admission

"Opening to the full play of human experience allows for the possibility of a sudden dawning of wakefulness, known in Tibet’s Mahamudra tradition as ‘coemergent wisdom’ or 'wisdom born within.’ This is a sudden dropping away of dualistic fixation, allowing a direct and often abrupt entry into nondual presence. It arises right on the razor’s edge where…

"Home"

no one leaves home unless

home is the mouth of a shark

you only run for the border

when you see the whole city running as well

your neighbors running faster than you

breath bloody in their throats

the boy you went to school with

who kissed…

"The understanding that everything anyone does is a result of karma -- of causes and effects -- has helped to keep me from labeling people as good or bad. Circumstances or behavior can change, of course, but at any given time no one can be other than the sum of all his or her contingent causes. A student in a class discussion about this topic once said, 'When…

Life scars us. It is inevitable. We learn to live with those scars, or they kill us long before we actually die. Small scars, large, scars as long and deep as the ocean—they define us; they become a part of our life map. A friend of mine recently lost a child and asked what she should do now that it was gone. I said it seems to me that the best thing to do is…

THE LOTUS

"...you can hear a sound like a sigh or 'aah' -- an audible indication of awakening..."

"Buried in the rank, dark muck of stagnant mosquito-infested swamp water, a brown seed the size of a bean lies waiting; it is destined to give birth to an exquisite bloom that has inspired lovers of flowers and seekers of truth for…

James Earl Jones Reads Frederick Douglass’ Historic Speech

In a Fourth of July holiday special, we begin with the words of Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery around 1818, Douglass became a key leader of the abolitionist movement. On July 5, 1852, in Rochester, New York, he gave one of his most famous…

I, Dr. Barry Hammer, have just now compiled a YouTube Playlist of undated audio tapes (from a tape recorder), recorded many years ago by my beloved late father, Dr. Max Hammer (June 16, 1930-June 14, 2011) The compassionate insights discussed in these audio tapes are keys to inner peace for the soul; effective psychotherapy or counseling work; healthy psychological development (psychological self-help);…

There are two kinds of peace in this world. There is one piece that is a formula. And there is one peace that has to be felt. The formula peace many people have. Some say 'i have peace. I've got a good family, I've got a good job, I've got a good house, so I am happy. I am fine.'

Ask a rich person, 'Do you have peace?' they say ' yes.. i have this i have that I have peace and i am ok.'

If you ask a monk,'Do you have peace?' they say 'yes i have peace because i do not…

The world we build tomorrow is born in the stories we tell our children today. 

Politics moves the pieces. 

Education changes the game.

For as long as humanity has existed, there has been a constant necessity for a higher purpose. Ancient civilizations realized the relatively unknown forces of nature to be “divine” and “powerful,” and so they were revered with constant admiration and fear. Thousands of years ago, spirituality was everything humans had. It was the basis for entire…

  There was once a young man who had heard tell that there was a great power waiting to be discovered  in the heart of every human being...  it was also said that only a truly wise man could put you in touch with your own heart in such a way that you could know this power... and so it was that the young man began his search to find a living wise man who could help him.. he asked and he searched  and eventually he was told that such a man did live only a long way away. So…

BELOVED OSHO, RECENTLY YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE WILL TO POWER. YOU EXPLAINED THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THIS WILL, THIS LONGING, TO BECOME A MASTER OVER ONE’S SELF. YOU ALSO OFTEN DECLARE THAT EVERY DESIRE IS THE BASIC REASON FOR MAN’S FRUSTRATION. CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WILL AND DESIRE?…

What's on your mind? To those who had a negative comment about my last post from David Ick's interview. I did not say that I know or believe everything in the video but we are in a time of Awakening and that means in my loving way which transcends duality and judgement of good or bad that I am sharing what has been kept secret to many especially what Phill Schnieder's underground experience with other beings in the tunnel. Yes, I agree, Love is the truth in an absolute sense but…
