More on Silence
Silence is ok; it doesn’t have to be filled. You don’t have to think at all times; that is a bad habit. Learn to let there be silence.
.
Silence represents another plane of reality. The plane of silence is free for anyone. But, it requires work to obtain. To get there, we have to want it, choose it and go to any lengths to reside there; letting go of all else. Silence is pure. It cannot contain any other thing. We have to give up all else. Most of us would rather have the cheap rewards of materi… Continue

Boredom
Boredom! I think my mind is in a crummy mood. I am not entertaining it. I am not in deep spiritual study. No self importance. Nothing grandiose. Being useless. I listen to my ego run on and on. I would rather be in rapture, but God hasn't given me this "specialness". No need to meditate to hear the crap. I hear my ego yammering away about something that happened this morning which didn’t please it. I have foolishly left my mind unoccupied and it is going crazy.

Life in the Dark
I ran this morning in the dark, as usual, only I went for a little longer than I usually do. As afternoons are hotter, I think that I enjoy the cool mornings more.
.
This morning, I ran 5 times around a mile loop in the park near my house. It was dark except for my head-light and a few lightening bugs. I ran down a dirt road and up a cement one. After awhile, I forgot where I was. My world was very narrow with occasional stumbles over rocks and occasional bugs to the face. The birds were not eve… Continue

Sure you do, the cosmos is alive with it.
I try to stay away from the TV, but it's not easy.
There's a cool book by Timothy Ferris I just became aware of ~ "The Four Hour Workweek" It's a good read and I highly recommend it.
Namaste'

- Hi Laura. There have indeed been changes on the physical plane. (Finally!) I moved out of the big house and leased a small condo. Living all on my own and new lessons each day. :) I had only realized the other day you left zaadz...oops I mean Gaia. ;) Will leave link to my blog if you feel like catching up. Thinking about pulling up stakes there and moving here.

Dave said… - Enjoyed your most recent of blog posts, 'The Path of Quiet'. The writing is quite unique; the expression profound. I found particular resonance, if you will, with the following paragraph:
"No fighter pilot. No euphoric high. Not a teacher or an alcolyte. Not a master. Not professed. No title at all. My Kundalini snake lies quietly coiled, never to strike with its dramatic ecstasy. No one is doing it like this. They are going to work shops and participating in energy grids. They are talking to angels and spirit guides; and creating their personal realities out of their intentions"
I look forward to reading more from you.
Cheers.

- Haha!
My favorite TV shows?
Well. They are all anime (Japanese Animation). Unfortunatley, such things get very little air time compared to what they should, in my opinion.
Thanks for stopping by!
