In Robert Munroe"s book 'Far Journeys' there was a definite indication of a being incarnating for the first time into a human body.

I was fascinated by it.

And thank God someone is posting something other than the ******* doom and gloom ****. Its really pissing me off this morning.

Do people not realize just how powerful they are and that what they hold in focus they re-create

Ps I'll settle down shortly, but not yet!!!!!!
Go Carmen, I'm with you, tell it like it is girl, give 'em both barrels of your bazookas, blast 'em out of their lazy ways and get 'em to wake up to their own potential. 'Cos if they don't, they'll be the ones still standing when the music stops and the Grim Reaper gathers them up.

Wow! that should scare the doom and gloomers - they deserve it!

Okay, now you can settle down.

Smile Re: Be here NOW

thank you for this thread rhythm ...

illumination ... radiance ... truth ...

threads like this will resonate with within us more and more ... they already do ... look how it has expanded in such a short time ...

and this is why ... because 'be here now' IS about expanding ... leaping from the old of limitations and fears and expanding into the freedom of the new ...

we feel where our hearts guide us to ... we gravitate to follow ...

not to remain stuck within the parameters of illusion ... but to realize this IS an illusion and choose to jump tracks and go beyond ...

some will desire to stay and play the game longer ... that is to be respected ...

to me the continuous posts on this thread shows how many choose expansion ...

i like that gio ... a "rhythm-tism" ...

i wonder what rhythm's next thread will be ... hmm ...

Being the root of consciousness,you project your reality

on whatever you percieve.this projection takes place in

the now ..........

if you think that it is you who moves from dream to

dream , you would be wrong.Dreams flow before you

You are the unquestinable witness. What is true is that

nothing that ever happens to you actually affect your

you real being ......

Default Re: Be here NOW

sharing some more poems

You Already Are

No fear...no resistance...no doubt
Just an open heart with joy to let out
Effortless acceptance of whatever is
Be all of it for you are one with all that is
Don't be for or against...always be both sides
In unity lies wholeness...separation just divides
Choose as you will yet don't you ever forget
The more that you share the more that you get
Rise in thy vibration to that of praise and gratitude
When we include one another a warmth does exude
Be every action...be every emotion...be every thought
Love is the only thing each moment has ever brought
Be that love...be that freedom...be that star
Oh, who am i kidding? you already are!

The Thickest Of Veils

The thickest of veils cannot hide this knowledge
It isn't learned from a book nor offered at college
Even on earth does this knowledge shine through
Oneness...advaita vedanta...non-duality...not two
There is only one thing one can never forget
Consciousness is self-evident as all water is wet
Contemplate existence if you contemplate at all
Let the mystery deflate the pumped up ego ball
Inquire until there is no one left to inquire
Turn towards the light and jump into the fire
Let all concepts and belief systems burn away
Once you are in the silence, in the silence stay

Presence Already Is

Presence already is, it cannot be delayed
Whatever arises within it will always fade
Ask what remains after everything is released
Find what continues when the body is deceased
Let it all pass for the past only lasts so long
Right as it arrived it was soon time to be gone
Beyond to the place where experiences are buried
Within the chapel where love and light got married
Here is where all is made whole
Now with no regrets and no goal
This moment's beauty is enough for me
I am fine with knowing that i am a mystery
The answer can be found within the question
A poem is not complete until unity do i mention
Where the first becomes last and the last becomes first
When the one is so full that there is no hunger nor thirst

The Deep Of The Deep

You are already the all
So stop playing so small
Be the all that you are
The shining one, the star
Movement becomes an illusion
When you come to this conclusion
To know thyself is to know right now
Greeting the one self in all with a bow
Time and space disappear in sleep
Yet you remain as the deep of the deep
There is nothing that you don't possess
For there is only the one i must confess

The Master Plan

Without your presence is there a present?
Equally integral are both a king and a peasant
The creation would surely cease to exist
If even one being were dropped from the list
Any choice or any thought that anyone makes
Adds a drop of knowledge to God's great lakes
We are each the creator of our own universe
Do you consider this a gift or perhaps a curse?
Every morning when you wake up in bed
The world is projected from inside your head
Just like in dreamland each character is you
So remember to treat others like Jesus would do
Keep centered on love and all will be fine
To forgive and accept turns water into wine
Each moment is a truly a blessing in disguise
An opportunity to share and become more wise
Seek to serve others whenever you can
For to radiate oneness is the master plan

Silent Laughter

Listen to the silence
It speaks of loving care
Can't you hear the whisper?
Laughter fills the air
No worries about the future
Rejoice in timeless prayer
No dwelling on past memories
Dissolve the ego bare
Be present to the moment
The gift it brings is rare
The oneness is overwhelming
The presence which we all share
Seek the truth of here and now
The unknown glare will become quite fair
Surrender to the silence
Abide in the Creator's lair
Inquire Who am I? Who is aware?
Keep the focus inward with a joyful stare
The source of all is silence
Find the source I dare

The Fan's Unplugged

Search for what is permanent and does not change
That which equally embraces both normal and strange
When this is found then so too have you found peace
For that which is eternal is constant and does not cease
Participation and observation are like yin and yang
In perfect balance on the scales of life do they hang
No judgments, no separations, all viewed the same
Seeing with a single eye transcends the duality game
The fan's unplugged yet the blades continue to spin
The record keeps playing as i exist as bliss and grin
Why am i still here? i am confused, i do not know?
It must mean there is still room for my heart to grow
I thought i befriended it all, i thought i left none out
I try to live from faith, only nothingness do i doubt
Maybe i just like it here, perhaps i enjoy earth's test
First the challenge, then the completion, then the rest
Is my light making a difference? Is that why i stay?
I'm just waiting for the fraggles to come out and play



peace,
mikey

The folowing poem is by a local wellknown poet
very funny talented man his name is Matt Harvey ...


THink before you print this poem .......

to see a hot tub in a council skip
and heaven in a bald tyre
behold infinity in your local tip
and eternity in some frayed electrical wire

it seems one mans chimmey pot s another mans top hat
one mans bauble is anather mans jewel
one mans cheapskates another mans skip- rat
one mans chip fat s another mans fuel
one mans cheek is another mans chutzpah
one man puddle is another mans footspa

broken umberllas ,malfunctioning kettles
empty containers of various metals
that never quite did what it said on the tins
these are a few of my favorite things....

one mans tip is another mans temple
one mans junk is another mans joy
one mans meat is another mans pen pal
one mans man is another girls boy
one mans popgun s another mans uzi
one man grit is another mans muslie

leftovers hand me downs , chuckaways ,off cuts
used pre used-loved ,second hand ,rejects ,and cast offs
all the fresh junk that this rampantley unsustainable consumer
society brings,
these are more of my favorite things.

when the cold bites , when my skip leaks ,when ive lost my zest
i simply dismember my favorite things-
and then i dont feel so stressed....

FOR MORE OF THE VERY TALLENTED MATT ..

I must confess rhythm that it's something I've never thought about. Like you, I am who and what I am. I'm now in a position to do what I want to do, whenever I want to do it. I haven't worn a watch for more years than I care to remember - sometimes I don't even know what day it is. I'm not constrained by timetables or appointments. On that sort of level, I feel as free as the breeze.

When it comes to labels, I feel that many of the worlds current problems stem from our acceptance and worship of labels. Everything has to be put into some sort of category. Take for instance two people who have been friends for years - one day a situation arises whereby it is discovered that one of them is into pornography. BANG, end of friendship.

But what has actually happened? The non-porn one has suddenly found that he had his friend labeled wrongly. The friend hadn't changed in any way, he'd always been into porn, but the other guy had never known. Now that he does, he's disgusted.

How much of the world's strife is caused because of religious beliefs? or non-beliefs? or skin color? or the lack of some perceived necessity? No two people see things the same way - no two people looking at a rainbow, see the same rainbow. In fact, your own two eyes each see a different one. Not until we can accept the fact that life is what we make of it, and stop applying inconsequential labels to it, or try and fit it into preconceived categories, that we and the world will be truly free.

I recall reading many years ago a story involving two factions. One lot wore blue capes and the others wore red. These two groups were so into their own self importance that they ignored each other to the point that they couldn't even see the other colored people.

A Gulliver's Travels type bloke appears on the scene and he can see both. It takes him a while to appreciate the situation and when he does, he comes up with a plan. He approaches the leader of each group and asks them to meet privately with him and one other person. But he asks each one to came dressed in a white cloak.

The appointed time comes and both blokes appear and there is a dialog and friendship is realized. When the two show their true colors, they realize how stupid their attitudes had been.

It's not the labels themselves, but the importance we place on them, that has caused our difficulties over the years. When each of us can accept two facts of life, then we will truly start to experience true freedom.

FACT 1. All people are born equal.
FACT 2. Each of us has a skill that helps our community to function.


By ourselves, that skill is useless. But used in support with the skill of others, our communities prosper. Like well oiled cogs in a giant machine, things will run smoothly and progress will be assured. When some of the cogs stop turning, or try to turn in the opposite direction, the whole contraption comes to a halt.

Forget about what other people think - be yourself, follow your heart of hearts, it will NEVER let you down. True spirituality is what is in your heart - give it a chance to show itself and you will discover a wonderful world of treasures that has been shut off from you because of your acceptance and worship of labels.

Meditate, contemplate, discard prejudices. It's then that you will be able to release the spirit in your heart and let it flow and carry you to unlimited heights of spirituality.

Why put it off? Just try. It might not be easy, but I can assure you, persevere and you will reap the rewards that are just waiting for you to claim.

Peace and love will prosper - they can never be destroyed because they have a power of their own. Like seeds, they will lay dormant until we apply the requirements that will ensure germination. Once that has begun, by applying more of those requirements, they will prosper and grow.

What are the requirements? Just accepting the two facts of life mentioned above, is enough to start the germination of your spiritual freedom.

Good luck on your journey into freedom.

Sorry to disagree mate.

I think anyone who says this is looking at the world through rosy coloured heart shaped glasses.

Some people are born, healthy, good looking and the son of a Billionaire.

Others; disabled orphans with manic depression.

There is no equality in this world, it is just one of those white lies people say to make themselves feel better.

Sorry, I should have said that we are all born spiritually equal. I will agree that some are born with imperfect bodies (but that hasn't held Steven Hawking back) and mental capabilities. Good looks have nothing to do with equality - they are just another label that we pay homage to, as is being the son of a billionaire. In God's eyes (or whoever you perceive as the source) we are all equal. It's only between humans that there is a perception of inequality.

Thats a good point Brinty, I understand what you mean now.

I guess I was being materialistic there.

Thanks Rhythm for the kind words.

Fall in love with truth
fall in love with freedom
if you are not in love with truth and freedom
then forget about it ....
your wasting you time ....
unless you are in love with truth
home will just be another concept...
you must fall in love with truth so totaly that you disapear
into it , and there is no more defence.
Then all you want to do is live, breath and eat truth, nothing
else is more important . T hat is how you live in freedom.
learn to sustain it ,fall in love and stay in love...

I must have overdone my medication - think I'll just lie down and have 40 winks, then I'll shoot over to the Lounge and throw down a few fruity drinks and lagers that rhythm is shouting. See ya.
