The Eternal
The eternal is both point / event and the extent of all experience. It is the breath or tide of the Universe. It both divides and contains. It is both rhythm, which is the flow of movement in time and synchronous, which is all existence happening at the same time. There are no separate moments [...]
Compassion: Beyond Ourselves
Beyond Ourselves
Compassion remembers so that mistakes and pains will hopefully not be repeated. However, the Universe also recognizes that pain is a very effective teacher in the instruction of compassion, since that is how we learn to feel the pain and difficulties of others.
With true compassion, we are driven to envision a world as it [...]
Compassion
Compassion is literally to feel the suffering of others. This prevents doing harm and makes it a personal imperative to alleviate it. It teaches and instructs us in lessons we might not otherwise have ever even contemplated. It makes us grow beyond our own walls and borders, to expand into something grander than we were [...]
The Infinite: Coming Back to Wholeness
Just as we have the ability to name things into smaller and smaller parts, we have the power to name things in larger and larger terms. If we name something that encompasses its entirety, then we give back completeness, releasing enough of it back to a probable state that it can become itself again, whilst [...]
Love: Balance, Inversion, Gift & Tool
Love also seeks balance - it gives itself with the expectation of return because it understands its own worth. This balance is not the an equalling of the scales, as it were; it is about "fit" - as only one puzzle piece truly fits to another, or as a knife handle is necessary to the blade to be effective.
Unity: The Journey of Unity
This journey is achieved via the routes of either pain or pleasure. Since pain is the longer lasting teacher, the seeker finds this is the usual path: That which is painful becomes hardwired so that we do not repeat the same mistake, although we often do. Repetition occurs because when the pain is too profound, [...]
The Infinite: Complexity in Wholeness
As something ages, it gains experience. In gaining experience, it gains complexity. Complexity allows and creates diversity, but it also embraces itself as whole. When something is whole, it becomes its own welfare, since there is no division within. This is like the branching complexity of roots growing ever deeper into soil for their nourishment. [...]
Unity
Unity is the point where all things are one. Where all things are one, there is paradox without contradiction: It is emptiness that holds the fullness of the universe. It is singular by nature with all differentiation inherent. No isolation is possible here, only that which is paid attention to. There are no constructs in [...]
Love and Value
Love defines value: We are unable to love unless we value ourselves and we only truly value that which we love and this is why we must choose carefully what we are going to love. One such primary choice is between the living world and constructs of value. For example, do we choose the land [...]
