God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools. ~John Muir
“The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.”
'The God in me greets the God in you The Spirit in me meets the same Spirit in you'
Within every frustration is the power to move forward. After all, you could not be frustrated if you did not also know for certain that things could indeed be better. The more frustrated you feel, the more you are ready, willing and able to move beyond that frustration with positive and effective action. Though it may be quite painful, frustration also is a powerful motivator. Frustration has its positive, empowering elements as well as its negative, dismaying ones. Remove the resentment and self pity from your frustration, and what you have left is pure, positive energy. Remove the anger and the blame, and you uncover drive, ambition, persistence. Not only can frustration spur you into action and keep you going, it can do so in ways that enable you to clearly focus on what needs to be done. When there is frustration, there is opportunity. Where there is frustration, there is an underlying positive energy that's anxious to spring into action. Don't let your frustration get the best of you or get you down. Instead, know that it's positively compelling you to move forward, and make use of the considerable energy that your frustration gives you to do just that.
When someone is willing to do without So your life is complete And they will give you courage When you have faced defeat When someone is this special, You know they're from above And there's a place within your heart Filled with special love Thank you for everything I hope these words convey The love I feel for you Each and every day.
I hope you have a wondrous weekend and a great week ahead my dear friend.
On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark
But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called to a higher light
It is a silent revolution
From the inside out
From the ground up
It is time for me to reveal myself
I am an embedded agent of an secret, undercover
Clandestine
Global operation
A spiritual conspiracy
We have sleeper cells in every nation on the planet
You won't see us on the T.V.
You won't read about us in the newspaper
You won't hear about us on the radio
We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes
Colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way so no one will notice
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night is where the real work takes place
Some call us the "Conscious Army"
We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders from the Central Command
The Spiritual Intelligence Agency
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no ones is looking
Poems
Hugs
Music
Photography
Movies
Kind words
Smiles
Meditation and prayer
Dance
Social activism
Websites
Blogs
Random acts of kindness
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways with our own unique
gifts and talents
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have....
All are welcome...
The door is open

The time is now.....
Music
.. I love music and like music from various genres depending on my mood and the necessary intent. My favorite kind of music has yet to be invented -- but it's coming soon...
In response to those who have asked me to elaborate on the music of the future:
It sounds like it's coming from another planet and yet paradoxically, like you've been familiar with it since the beginning of time...
It draws on the best rhythms and melodies from all continents and cultures through out history bringing them together in a stew yet to be tasted, and new spices are added as well...
It is holistic and integral, touching you in all 7 chakras, from the crown chakra all the way to the root chakra, bringing about a profound degree of transformation and transcendence...
It transports you somewhere else beyond this earthly dimension and when you return you are different then when you left... never quite the same again...
It reminds you who you really are... It touches your spirit and you begin to recognize yourself in every sound, every note in the universe...
Universe means one song...
It's healing...
Righteous...
It opens you up...
Seeps in to your pores...
Reminds you of the importance of LOVE...
The Heart...
The journey of life...
and the Peace of the Soul
The beginning is not really the beginning and the end is not really the end...
Just ongoing chapters and verses that float through the sky like clouds....
There is always a level of spontaneity and improv to this music and yet a familiar rhythm whose roots run deep in our collective tribal DNA...
It reaches for the sky but is rooted in the earth...
It embraces all parts of ourselves...
The spiritual...
And the primal...
The Past...
The Present...
And summons in to Being the rhythms and cultural movements yet to come...
You know that magic state of consciousness right before you fall asleep? Sometimes you can hear it there...
I'm getting sleepy...
Sing me a lullaby
Books
.. Some authors and individuals who have inspired me over the years in no particular order :
J. Krishnamurti
U.G. Krishnamurti
Eckhart Tolle (I feel Eckhart most clearly articulates, my perspective on what's important in his books Power of Now and New Earth)
Henry Miller
Walt Whitman
Peter Russell
Rumi Hafiz
Basho and Issa
Gangaji
Tony Robbins
Deepak Chopra
Wayne Dyer
Herman Hesse
Ramana Maharishi
Ken Wilber
Nisardagatta Maharaj
Peace Pilgrim
Chuang Tzu
Lao Tzu
John Trudell
David Deida
Meister Eckhart
Jesus Christ
Bugs Bunny
Indigenous Wisdom
Eastern Spirituality

Chan Buddhism
Zen etc...
MOST IMPORTANT -THE BOOK OF LIFE, The True Teacher
Heroes
.. I draw a lot of inspiration from children and also from Elders, in particular my wonderful and beautiful 6 year old son- Gio
As well as some great friends
I draw great inspiration from the natural world -- Trees - Oceans - Mountains, Stars and Moons and Planets spinning in space - Animals and insects..
I get far more inspiration from these sources than from a politician or Hollywood celebrity.
