Elder's Meditation !
"I wanted to feel, smell, hear and see, but not see with my eyes and my mind only. I wanted to see with CANTE ISTA-the eye of the heart."
--Lame Deer, LAKOTA
Why is it that some people seem to have peace of mind every day? How do some people remain so darn positive? How do you stay positive if you work or live in a negative environment? How is it that two people can observe the same difficult situation, but one person is upset about it, and other isn't? Two people experiencing the same situation react entirely different. If each morning we ask the Creator to allow us to see with His understanding and with His love, we will open a new way of "seeing". This eye of the heart is a free gift given to us if we ask for it in prayer each day.

Grandfather, allow me to see the world and all things You have made through "the eye of my heart."

Man is a strange animal indeed.

There is so much arguing about religion, what or whom is the real God, His/Her/They/It/...What is God`s name, or that who we call Creator?  No wonder we have no peace. We think we are all correct. The truth is that we are all correct. Our destination is the same, we are in the same boat different section.

When Jesus was asked how they should pray by His apostles...This is what He said. Not much to do with father, or names. Now certainly You do not have to be a Christian  or any other religion to say this...for it is for all religions and no religions!
 

So who is God?

God is all that IS!...was and ever will be!

The Prayer of Our Lord

The Spirit of Assisi


I would be honored if You could join us in promoting Peace!

Our aim is to promote PEACE; LOVE; COMPASSION; UNITY; HARMONY; TOLERANCE; UNDERSTANDING; WISDOM for the purpose of obtaining PEACE for all of humanity and for all beings in the universe by praying together to GOD!

Every religion,faith,creed,race is welcome in the spirit of love, tolerance,acceptance. It is in the spirit of Assisi,where we came together,as family for a moment in Peace,Love and in PRAYER!

John Paul ll:`Prayer for Peace`in Assisi,Oct27/1986

~To share a common respect of,obedience to conscience,with all world religions which teaches all of us to seek the truth,to love and serve all individuals and people,and therefore to make peace among nations and races.

Yes,we all hold conscience and obedience to the voice of conscience to be an essential element in the road towards a better and peaceful world EACH ACCORDING TO HIS OWN CONVICTION. For the first time in history,we came together from everywhere, Christian Churches and Ecclesial Communities and World Religions,in a sacred place dedicated to St Francis,to witness before the world,about the transcendent quality of Peace.

The challenge of peace,as it is presently posed to every human conscience,is the problem of survival for humanity,the problem of life and death.

Peace goes much beyond human efforts,particularly in the present plight of the world,and therefore that its source and realization is to be sought in that Reality beyond all of us.

This is why each of us prays for peace. Even if we think, as we do, that the relation between that Reality and the gift of peace is a different one,according to our respective religious convictions,we all affirm that such a relation exists.This is what we express by praying for it.~

Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God!

We honor, respect, accept each others` religion,spiritual beliefs!

 I love this so much...hope some of You will also. I thought I would share!

``The world as we view it  is much like a dance,
you can take what is coming and live it by chance...
Or seek answers to questions and live it by choice,
just follow your heart and answer its voice.

Chance brings that karmic phenomenon,
manifested reactions from what you have done.
Look for a place that's hidden within,
search for the message, that's where to begin.

Talk to yourself, have conversation inside,
it's a matter of choice, create from the mind.
Picture yourself in a world all your own,
then bring it to life from the seed to the sown.

Search & discover the source of white light,
don't settle for anything, reach for the heights.
Your goals are the answer to what you achieve,
and it's almost like magic when you start to believe.

Truth & intuition ...bring gifts to rejoice,
go it by chance or live it by choice! ``

Entry for July 06, 2006

One of the most beautiful Lyrics ever!........

The Impossible Dream!....by Joe Darion....music Mitch Leigh

To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, To run where the brave don`t dare to go!

To right the unbearable wrong, To love pure and chaste from afar, To try when your arms are too weary, To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest , To follow that star....No matter how hopeless No matter how far.

To fight for the right, Without question or pause, to be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause.

And I know if I`ll only be true , To this glorious quest, That my heart will be peaceful and calm, when I`m laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this, That one man scorned and covered with scars, still strove with his last ounce of courage. To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far. To be willing to give, when there`s no more to give. To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live.

And I know that if I will be true to this glorious quest, that my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I`m laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this, that one man scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable star!

Love & light to You all.......

Suzanne

 Guess this is more of a comeback letter than a blog!

Well hi everyone....been away , hope I have been missed, ....then been away writing....how good God only knows!  I really made up my mind to finish what I have started, and I have....good or no it`s done!

 I will start reading all the great blogs, happenings....hope I have been missed!!!....yeah, wishful thinking! I hope everyone is well.....and Leenderts seeds are growing, flowering!

Don`t expect much from me....as it takes a while to get into the swing of things...but this short letter is a start.

 

 

 

Today was a good day.... There are no coincidences only synchronistic events!

 .....so today led me to an affirmation within myself of how I want to conduct my life....The quest/ our quest even more crystalized within me.....of the destination of love & light.

It all made me think about the human nature very sincerely...and this what went on in my head if You had x-ray vision....

Over time I have come to understand human nature. At this point in time there is a generation that is striving to change the world, to integrate the human race...to be one....under one anthem of love and light....hence where we come from.

This will only be achieved through understanding of each other, accepting each other. We say we do, but do we really mean it? I often wonder. And time and time again I see that somehow the human ego is very tough and will not let go.

To live together in love, peace, harmony takes a number of qualities that have to be lived by, up to...not just being said. Talk is cheap....walking the walk is not easy, being authentic when it comes to belief systems is very hard. We say yes, but we shake our heads when it comes to tolerating an other`s faith, lifestyle, culture, race.

Now, when it comes to faith I am a Catholic...but I accept, acknowledge, respect all faiths or no faith. To be able to integrate the human race it is a must to know, understand  each other, to be able to accept each....in truth , with an open heart. I do not get offended by anyone wanting to explain their faith, or belief system...I take it as a form of trust in love....and truly appreciate it, and welcome it .

I am a member of a number of websites....all with similar goals....to raise the consciousness of the planet, and  live in peace and love. Whenever I post something about my faith is to help people understand me, as I wish to understand them. It`s the secrecy within the walls that makes everyone suspicious of each other.....when all is in the light we get to see that we are all human, and our goal is all the same.

On these sites there are Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhist, Hindus, Agnostics, Atheists and more. We are very aware of our differences, but are very willing to learn, share, accept, understand about each other. So when we post stuff about our faith...it is not to diminish, or to proselytise but to make other see and understand how the others see the word, believe within their faith...only thought this type of communication will we achieve peace, harmony, understanding about each other. Only if these barriers are down will there  be peace, oneness, on one planet.

When it comes to love...it`s the most encompassing word in the language.....within its context we have all.......compassion, justice, mercy, gratitude, acceptance, forgiveness, humility, selflessness, wisdom, passion, patience, sanctity, tolerance, understanding, authenticity, truth, courage, ...and above all recognizing the divine in each other....and a host of other enobling attributes.

So when something is stated in love...whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu.....or whatever faith or no faith...one should read it as thus and not be offended by the text, but appreciate the possibility of perhaps understanding it perhaps more fully than before...I`m certainly of this belief. I`m always filled with gratitude if I am given a chance whereby I can more fully understand, and chip away at the barriers between each other.....to be one we don`t have to give up our faith, but recognise that the end goal is all the same....maybe the road different.....but all to the same destination!

....well but...it`s all in my head....

love & light,
Suzanne

........words, thoughts  just borrowed!...from Rob

****Inside each and every one of you is the kingdom of God indescribably perfect, beautiful and whole.

Nature itself, the very love and exquisite perfection of the divine manifest in every single cell, atom, aspect and totality of the being that you are......

"to see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour."

The beingness that you already are, is already whole, complete and perfect. Is already your nature of love, compassion and wisdom.

Each moment of the infinite presence you are, suspended like a radient cosmic jewel in the lotus of infinite silence of space, dancing amoungst the stars in the womb of the divine. Is perfect .Is as it is meant to be and is love beyond description,  comparison or alteration being the absolute nature  that is.

Beloved ones,
there is no need to seek more to find yourself through thoughts, things or perceptions in the future or the past, that do not exist or anywhere other than where you are in the natural ecstatic  intensity of the native ground of your very being.

As this particular dance moves onwards held within the chords of this symphony of light hese evolutionary impulses to conscious awakeneness will increasingly become apparent to even the most  unawakened of seeds. All is unfolding as it should be, spiritual growth, is like all growth it is all growth and all decay.

The dance of formless in form essenceless and essence as one all and none infinitely eterna . More real than the real nothing and everything.

The human is a seed borne by the tree of the universe  for this seed to grow,  it must first penetrate deeply enough into the ground the conceptul/analytical  human perception of the apparent individual experience must not be the source of reference for self or the seed cannot break the  hard surface of the soil we must reference from consicousness alone if we are to be who we are truely manifest as being.

Then over time, with water and warmth from the sun the seed, vibrating away  in the earth will sprout and in time break out of the apparent prison of this world and grow instead into the light and infinite spaciousness that lie above the surface of the mind.

Maybe in time it will grow very large and perhaps one day, flower, bear fruit and plant seeds. Maybe not and a new seed will have a chance to grow  there is always only peace.

No one would expect a seed to be a tree already. Thats absurd, it takes time . Its a natural process that cannot be rushed ,cannot be made to happen only allowed and supported.

And equally within each and everyone of you, vibrating away, the tree is already
there within each and every one of you lies  the kingdom of God!****

love & light,
Suzanne
