they think she is made of stone.
when mountains fall
and worlds collide,
she is the one they turn to.
With sadness and grief,
they turn to her for light
She smiles, even through her own pain
and reaches out with open arms
to all who would have need.
They seek wisdom through her,
yet see her as stone.
"How could she be hurt, she is so strong"
Note: I'm not trying to be a jerk to Daniel, this is more in the spirit of "Let's see what happens" than anything. I am trying to get something going and I keep getting told to be quiet on all fronts no matter what I do so I'm just putting it out there to simply "see what happens." Even if it takes a bit to understand.
Some recent Evolver discussions have earnestly explored how to best integrate with one another, both on evolver.net and in our greater communities. In response, the most consistent thought that's been rattling around my head has been about inner battles. And the fact that virtually everyone is engaged in one.
U-day - July 25, 2010
The day marking the event in which half of the population had realized spiritual unity. The date cannot be known exactly but we use this date for celebration. It is also the date in the Mayans Calendar of 13 months of 28 days each, which separates the years. A day out of time, a day of Freedom!
Today - July 12, 2013
Hey folks, I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm looking for some practices/rituals/habits that may help my growth. They can range from the smallest thing I do during the day, to a yearly or monthly ritual. I have a few already, but I am open to any suggestions, changes, or comments.
You try your absolute hardest to please others, not for them to please you in return but because essentially, you feel good after your dedication. You may have or may not have realized yet that we are born into this small world, into these "individual" bodies and minds, to help others. No one is independent, only interdependent.
I just watched this very interesting clip of the mystic, Osho, delivering part of a lecture in which he purposed that "love is hocus-pocus"
he even goes so far as to say that those who promote love and compassion are actually at fault for the lack of authentic love in the world.
Instead he says, that we should only follow our awareness.
Bestselling author, political adviser and social and ethical prophet Jeremy Rifkin investigates the evolution of empathy and the profound ways that it has shaped our development and our society.
In this world of form, we distinguish ourselves and the entities around us as separately existent from one another. This is not so. As we watch the images of our reality unfold against the illuminated cave wall that Plato once described metaphorically, we must remember that the exact same hand casts each of these illusory shadows.
Relationships are so squirmy aren’t they? Then add sex on top of it and everything just slip slides away into weirdo land. Why is that? Is it because we rush into things? Leap before we look far enough into the future to see the potential disaster up ahead? Probably.
"Are people who travel in town cars and on corporate jets different—on a psychological level—from you and me? Does the availability of luxury goods "prime" individuals to be less concerned about or considerate toward others? The answer from new research seems to be yes."
Leave the void, to create a way away.
Be yourself. Dislocate time.
Are right and wrong, just hanging there, light and dark. And is the truth like the sun being just beyond the horizon? Or is there another way to get there, something that connects us, a vehicle to reveal our interconnectedness? Let us begin.
“Let the bare feat be the last sound that they hear.” - Our Lady Peace
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
