Does the Soul Desire?

I find this a rather perplexing question. Ask any metaphysician today and they will most likely tell you that the universe is an illusion.. that the only real thing that exists is the soul or God and that we are the participants on an unending stage of cause and effect.

In the movies, frames are played back 24 times a second with a small pause in between each frame as they are changed out sequentially from one to the next. Of course our eyes do not perceive the small pauses in between due to the high frequency changes. This is, essentially, how the analogy goes.. and so it seems that, backed up by quantum physics  [Read on...]

Meditation: Being vs Doing/Having/Thinking

06:00am.. the alarm clock tolls and wakey-wakeyness beckons. Of course it’s winter and your latitude on the globe says that it won’t really be light outside till about 08:00, but that doesn’t excuse you from work though, does it? The routine is set: shower, dress, eat, travel, work, eat, work, travel, eat, watch telly.. “hmm I have an hour before I’d like to hit the sack.. perhaps I’ll just watch some more telly”..sleep. Then, repeat 5x out of 7, perhaps 6 if you’re really dedicated to your work.

Come weekend and well there’s really so much that needs to be done.. things that you just don’t have the time to do during the week. Things that you prefer to do and things that you’ll [Read on...]

disconnected

lost in separation
a caste carbon prisoner of time
drifting on the fringes of consciousness
that bliss i once knew now eludes me
total disillusionment wants me resurrected
i am disconnected, i feel disconnected

you could call me heaven
you could call me [Read on...]

i am

i am a leaf in the wind
my home is neither here nor there
but everywhere
i come and go like temperemental snow
caught in the cycle
part of the whole
changing with the seasons
if you truly looked you would see
the life force that is me
guided by grace, moulded by intelligence
the journey is the mystery
and there i [Read on...]

The Art of Life: Detachment and Engagement

2008.. the year that shifted the focus of the journey from an outer one to an inner one. When you lose all meaning in life, when you lose your very self.. you are forced to take such a journey. This is the very journey we all in fact are taking this very second. But for most of us, such a journey is not initiated until the mask of security is unveiled.. because in reality there is NO security.

And yet the British government (and well probably every other government in the world) continue pushing the notion of security on the public. Secure banks, secure homes and secure jobs. Hmm.. anybody else see a problem here? I bet you there are hundreds of people willing to come forward and tell of how these things are being taken away from them.

This is simply put down to an incorrect perception of reality. Everybody’s heard the phrase, “the only constant is change” and um since this is much closer to the laws of our universe I think it’s about time we heeded it. Now, I dunno about you but I sure as hell would rather have had a “life class” than a meaningless [Read on...]
