EXPLORING THE VARIETY OF SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

The mundane world is only clumps of earth clinging to a rock spinning into nothing.  So let's consider other realities and leave the dust behind.  The world is not enough.  Our dreams dream us.  We are stewards of moments in time which are all the time we ever really have.

The soul thrives on experience.  As finite beings we can see no purpose for the soul to function at the level of environment, this material world, other than to provide itself the opportunity to participate in certain experiences.  Through this participation the soul, in itself, does not become more perfect.  However, the realization gained through the experience of the soul causes us to evolve the personality which will accompany that soul and which will become such expression of it as we will ultimately become at some other time and place.  To the soul in its process of growing through experience, time is of no consequence.  Growth is simply a process in which the soul participates without consideration of what we know as time.  The Rosicrucian Forum - December 1984

"Be pure," said Zoroaster, "Pure as fire,"
"Be just," said Jahveh, "Just as him that speaks,"
"Be wise," said Buddha, "Wiser than desire,"
"Be beautiful," said Orpheus to his Greeks.
"Be loving," said the founder of our creed,
"Be true," commanded the Osirian three,
"Be one with me," said Brahma, " and indeed 
Thou shalt be one with all, and all with thee."
Lo, as the seven colored rays unite
To form one ray of pure and perfect light,
So in the mystic sunlight of the soul
The seven creeds become the perfect whole:
Pure, just and wise, and beautiful, and kind
True, and united in the Cosmic Mind.  Anonymous

    FORGOTTEN LANGUAGE

Once I spoke the language of the flowers.
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said.
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings and shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets and joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow.
Once I spoke the language of the flowers...
How did it go?
How did it go?

    Maintain the glow!  You must not let it die.  You do not know how many look to Him because they see your candle burning bright throughout the night.
        Maintain the glow!  Your faith can light the way for countless others searching day by day;  how shall they find a light to conquer doubt if yours goes out?
        Maintain the glow!  His promise still endures.  His glory and His triumph shall be yours if you, through hours of darkness, toil and woe, maintain the glow.  Jean Porter

    An Indian Prayer
Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me!
I am small and weak.  I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy-myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes so when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

    Mental Energy
       Our most valuable possessions are our thoughts.  They are truly ours and ours alone.  An endless number of people, events, situations, and environments influence our thoughts continuously, but how we mentally react to each thing that occurs is our responsibility.
       Brooding about past mistakes and dwelling on feelings of remorse or guilt are useless wastes of precious mental energy.  Such brooding accomplishes nothing.  If we become consciously aware of what we are thinking, then we can choose to deliberately turn that mental energy around and use it constructively.
       Years age, a Jewish doctor, after being freed in WWI by the Allies, wrote of his experiences while imprisoned in a German concentration camp.  He knew his wife and children had been sent to a gas chamber.  Gradually, he became aware that his body was feeding upon itself from malnutrition.  He had to wear his shoes and what few clothes he had as he slept, because the inmates of the prison were stealing from each other.  One winter night his shoes were stolen off his feet while he was sleeping.  He then had to wrap his feet up in rags.  He realized that the only thing he possessed that could not be taken away from him was his attitude.  Even under such devastating, miserable conditions he learned to watch and control his thoughts so that his mental attitude was worthy of his best efforts.  Such an attitude kept him alive and sane.
        P.D. Ouspensky strongly brings out in his writing that we should never allow anyone or anything to cause us to be irritated or angry.  How we allow ourselves to respond and react to pleasant and unpleasant situations is our responsibility.  With conscious awareness such responses do not need to be automatic but can be under our control.
        Our thoughts can be seeds or weeds.  They can drift away like nebulous dreams, or they can be the fruit of a beautiful plan or scheme.  Elizabeth Kitzman

       Then take off your coat and go to it.
       Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
       That "cannot be done"-and you'll do it.

    Universal Personality
      The terrestrial sphere we live on is wrapped in thousands of invisible strands of data, endlessly pouring from its surface.  All of these strings of data are parts of who we are and who we seem to be.
     When you create a home-page on the Web, that page becomes part of your "universal personality," a personality made up of all representations of you in any actual, virtual, or other worlds-and of the different ways everyone has perceived you.
     Image-building is precarious.  Once someone observes a virtual-or actual-part of you, it is inextricably part of you.  It doesn't matter whether this part is truly representative of your being.
For now, the only solution is to present yourself as completely as possible. Presenting your data well is presenting yourself well.

     "It is the overcoming of your own fears which allows for the possibility of the overcoming of fear within the larger structure.  It is also worthwhile to note that the further you go along this road, the better you feel.  And the exuberant joy which overflows from your being ripples out into your creation, into your landscape, in all directions."   Seth

      "It is one thing to consider ideas in solitary meditation, it is quite another to confront yourself through others in discussion where you actually see the biases and strictures of ideas as they apply to your thinking.  Essentially, the process is one of becoming defenseless.  When you are no longer attached to any particular label or point of view within the cultural system, you no longer have to defend any particular position.  This relaxation of perspective allows you to move more easily within the greater self."  Seth

      "What passes between a speaker and a listener goes way beyond words." Kellie Fox, Net Astrologer

           The God.

        Do not loose yourself in endless details and miss a glimpse of heaven.

       Water and mud held together with soul.

       So many lives.  So little time!

       We dance in new bodies on the dust of our former selves!

       It's all mud, only the souls make it special.

      What Will You Do
What did you do when the glacier paved your mouth with ice
when your scales fell off
and were left on the ground to rust
when you stopped treading water and started breathing air
What did you do when you realized you were different from the others
when you were cheated of your fur
your prehensile tail
when death revealed itself as the Supreme Being
unappeasable
And what did you do when the sun stopped revolving around you
when animals started to disappear and the trees loosened their roots
imperceptibly at first so you would not notice
when water declared an eye for an eye and 
pumped your poison back into you
And when your children left you and joined the enemy
when the air became colder and colder and you moved faster than sound though your love letter never got there
what did you do when history fell down at your feet and asked to start all over
That is what you will do.  Lisel Mueller      

      Earth Prayer
Standing here together, as one,
joined by love,
the many energies of our many selves
flowing through our fingertips,
flowing through each other,
let us feel the holiness of all around us,
the holiness of this room,
the holiness of the floor beneath us, 
the stones beneath the floor,
the earth beneath the stones.
Let us feel the earth in the stones,
the earth in the floor,
the earth in ourselves.
Let us restore the earth
in everything we make and do.
Let us remember the earth
in everything we are,
as the earth remembers us
in everything it is.     Scott Owens

      "Tis not the high stars alone,
          Nor in the cups of budding flowers,
          Nor in the redbreast's mellow tone,

          But in the mud and scum of things,
          There alway, alway something sings,".
                                             Ralph Waldo Emerson

      "It is our nature to be creative.  We can't help it.  There is an artistic goodness in the substance of creation.  Each facet of refracted glory is trying to pass the goodness along and is the structure of Heaven." Larry Wall-October 2000 Wired Magazine

        Divine, you fill me with ideas and delight.

       "Your memories are part of your soul not your physical brain.    Our thoughts are photons, the immortal field from where everything comes - the software of the Universe.  Be aware of the presence of your own soul.  Most people live with a stranger and the stranger is their own soul.  Everything is Spirit. Sacred and profane living together...  Intention orchestrates its fulfillment."  Depak Chopra

        Our memories can beat us up.  Choose which memories you want to relive...

           Make your world

           It's your choice.
           It's your choice.
           Don't turn it to hell.
           You make the choice.
           You make the choice.
           Take love and life.

      In everything you do act without grumbling or arguing; prove yourselves innocent and straightforward children of God beyond reproach in the midst of a twisted and depraved generation - among whom you shine like stars in the sky while holding fast to the word of life.  Philippians 2:13

       After your death, energy and willpower are the currency in the next life.  Dr. Waldo Viera

       Vision by Jane Roberts
I see myself stretched out among the stars,
My skin, an open mesh,
Was hung with seeds and moons and fish.
Birds flew through my flesh
Which rose in continental mass
From seas of space.  One arm,
A Universe, was flung
Akimbo.  My third left fingernail
Was earth, pearl tipped and turning
With the measured motion of my wrist.
One eye looked out upon the form -
The thigh's spread galaxies - and saw
The burst of each cell-star that plunged
Into instant shape within the flesh.
The other eye turned inward, glimpsed
New web works and cocoons
Spun from thoughts and dreams that spread 
Images outward with each breath.

    " Great Spirit, I am thankful for the returning consciousness and the privilege of serving one more day in the fulfillment of your plan and for the continued evolution of my soul personality upon this plane.  Keep me constantly attuned with thy mind that I may be more readily inspired."

 
        My brother (George Koepke) told me if the world is destroyed, my charred skull will still be grinning!

         Let the Light heal you.  Imagine the Light in the cells.
