Did You Know?-1991

DID YOU KNOW that life contains a series of heartbeat failures that must be accordingly revived second to second? It is when the heart may no longer achieve the reaction we usually refer to as heart-failure.

It is the dual-nature characteristic of life, which permeates all impulse and successive responses. The cessation of life permits following renewal, without which there would not be the pulsating vitalities which, in order to ebb and flow throughout Creation, may at pausal intervals intervene.

Were all time to halt in an instant and resume at a period given to the future, should we know of the gap in between? Would we know of that flickering between life and death, between every heartbeat, throughout every episode of sleep?

Here is an indication of the world and its heaving breath, with time contained and all things assimilated in this way. 

There are many episodes that are forever shifting, cycles endured and phases uncomprehended, confounding upon themselves; the patterns of extremities, though not of actualities.

Can one hear the silence? How can one hear silence? Does one perceive an eyelid flicker?

There truly is more than meets the eye.

Tortoise & Hare- 26th April 1991

THE tortoise, and some fish for that matter, have the gift of encrusting themselves within a hardened outer shell.

Semidetached but completely necessary for existence, one must question the modus operandus of the tortoise, and from where this ability did come from. For beneath the calcified enclosure is soft tissue that requires protection; and yet the shell itself is distinctly separate to the tortoise. It is a fibrous matter that is worked organically, but not directly from the organism.

 In the case of the fish it is a mineral composure, again distinctly separate to the organism and its systems, and to the fish itself. Therefore we have two bodies, that of the living creature, and that of the shell. The latter which may be separated, is dependent on its patterns as dictated by the creature.

The Earth in its relation to the Moon can be viewed in this way- the Earth in its living and vulnerable organism with a moon of its making, semidetached.

Herein is the key to the mythology of the tortoise and the hare.

The Triangle- 25th April 1991

THE triangle has a base of support for the pinnacle. The pinnacle is the culmination, the summation of the form, and where those directives meet.


Viewed as a pyramid, the expression of the triangle is a good example as to the necessity of the broad base. Here is the contrast of the multitudes, with the divinity aspired to and supporting the steady climb. This is a good meditation in itself: to observe the pyramid. 

Prometheus taught that one is compelled to seek perfection and aspire throughout our many-levelled being. We radiate outward and are manifest throughout many spheres, many kingdoms, although our consciousness is but placed at one point at any given time. However our base is the world itself and all of that substance which is the world and in all of the realms of soul that inhabit the world. Herein is man's fingers and toes - truly the interconnection is an undefiable reality, and not just a relationship based on the perception of such a reality. Our extremities flow into the oceans and up through those sleeping mountainous giants. . . and our heads are beyond the clouds amongst the stars, as it were.

****

There is a proverb:

At root of ancient tree the new moss grows.

- and we abide in both tree and moss and the two cling together, heaving in Sun, Water and Earth.

****

Within the scheme of Creation, which one of us may ask for a place that is excelled above another, or claim more or less importance?

****

Laughter cleanses the ether. The wise, the insane and the infant, may laugh. Laughter is an almighty challenge, before the soul contests to withdraw or take in that which presents itself.

*****

Propriety, humility and joy - this is the discussion. These attributes assist the path of wisdom. Recklessness of judgment, egotism and fear inhibit the path of true learning. Be of the Earth, the Waters and of the Sun, for this is thy home.

Mighty Rome- 23rd April 1991

THE populace of Rome, with its geographical positioning, used to be the mouthpiece and focus of the modern world and its concepts, summoning together the massive streams of thought at the time of its height, in powerful persuasion.

Both scholars and warriors amassed within its confines, and the Roman Church was a final offspring of such a powerful province, that sought to dictate and dominate world thought and opinion, expression and manifestation. This was still but a carryover, so to speak, of its grip some two thousand years ago.

No nation has the right born unto it to demand that it shall inflict its ways and methods within the arena of the world. However ancient Rome with its visiting divinities of old was granted a supreme opportunity to be the gateway through which wisdom would stream forth. All of the gifts to the world followed with this set of tasks and opportunities placed before the region.

Neighboring countries, who shouldered next to the influence of these visiting gods, who then inhabited and were called forth into the substance of the country itself, reflected some of the light that was cast in the beauty of their cultures. Their interpretations were many and varied of the experiences that were perceived of the overshadowing divinities inhabiting their sector of the Globe. However, the desire to convert the world did not defile their interpretations, as it did with mighty Rome. To Rome's annoyance then and ever since, they persevered with a sweetness of soul and a most graceful gentleness, in their demands upon individuals in the rights of their thinking and accepting that which was imparted.

Given this explanation, it is therefore fitting that historically the events that took place, brought upon such a nation, should have been cast by that nation - misused opportunities, again too much too soon, too little too late. What could have been a nation of grandeur became a nation of pomposity. (Pompei! Pomposity!) Largely an example of a possible consequence of when a people is given freely many powers of the heavens, and something of an explanation of the reservation and caution that is matched today in our conservatism.
