No one can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with oneself.

It takes strength and courage to be yourself.

La Rochefoucauld stated that,

“The weak cannot be sincere,” and this is true.

Weak people have a very hard time being sincere because they doubt themselves;

and it is not only the weak that have a hard time being sincere with others.

In fact, the vast majority of people are insincere to a point.

La Rochefoucauld went on to teach that,

 “Sincerity is an openness of heart that is found in very few people. What we usually see is only an artful disguise people put on to win the confidence of others.”

People have agendas, and to achieve those agendas, they play the parts that they believe will make them successful, instead of sincerely being themselves.

It is for this reason that you have to be very careful and try to look behind the veil to find out who the real person truly is.

We on the other hand, acts with sincerity. This doesn’t mean that he always lets everyone know exactly who he is or what he is thinking – he doesn’t.

That would be unwise.

Sincerity simply means acting from a place of truth concerning who you really are.

You must be sincere with yourself as well as with other people.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, yet the mastery of it." Victor Hugo

History has its truth... so has a legend.

Its truth, being of another nature than that of what has gone before.

Invented be it the result of a reality, unspeakable to fathom;

Let alone imagine.

Immortalising the answered calling;

The cries of a soul bathed in eternal love; darkened night.

An endless quest, a love therein, my only guiding light

The places I go to play are made of emptiness clay. I dance and I sing and I crown you the Thing and never leave the skirts of today.

The flow of attention is so exquisite it cannot be broken by any particular experience. 

There is no possibility of anything in the universe being out of place.

I like to play with: 

How is anything happening at all and why in this precise order?

For me it comes in the form of: "What's this *existing* business? 

Why does anything at all have to EXIST?"

The answer is freely available as the immediate experience. How nice to find the most satisfying thing in the universe is the universe not needing to be satisfied.

Life can feel like a game of tag. Chasing satisfaction and running away from pain. But I am always already IT.... game over.

Well, IT is the possibility. The One. There is nothing separate from IT. Nothing. This is it. NOW. HERE. THIS.

The reality of the moment~of life~

Life in the world is full of pertinent news not only news about Washington or Hollywood or the Middle East, but also news about us.

Everywhere we look we can find accurate information and useful statistics about our most personal behaviour.
In fact, there exists a brilliant feed-back system that is working at all times, offering free information about how to and how not to function in the world.

For every action we take, reality leaves little messages about the wisdom or folly of our behaviour.

Pay attention to the way life already was to read life like you would a newspaper; to read everything that happens to you and to others as pertinent news about the reality of being human, of being you.

We have to develop trust in reality:
If you take steps to accomplish something, that action will have a result either failure or success.

Trust is knowing that there will be a message.

When you trust in those messages, the reflections of the phenomenal world, the world begins to seem like a bank, or reservoir, of richness.

You feel that you are living in a rich world, one that never runs out of messages.
Those messages are regarded neither as punishment nor as congratulations.
You trust, not in success, but in reality.

Take a step back and looked at the difficult situation as a “reservoir of richness.”

Somewhere deep in the problem were hints not only about the solution, but also about how we got into the mess in the first place.
The problem was a bank of messages and so stopped flailing around, feeling guilty on the one hand and blame on the other.

Instead  go down to the business of decoding the message.

The most wonderful surprises happen when you least expect them....

Stop for a moment and be aware of the energy you are holding.

Have you been affected by someone else's negativity and now you're holding it as your own?

Have you added to it by being negative yourself, keeping the wheel of negativity spinning round and round?

Stop and breathe and step off this vicious cycle.

If you can, go for a walk or a run and rant about everything that makes you upset for three minutes as if you emptying the garbage.

Start naming all the things you love about yourself and your life.

Today give yourself room to breathe. It's difficult if not impossible to tune into your intuition if you are rushed or feel Pressured by yourself or others.

Slow down. 

Take a deep breath. 

Relax. 

Drop into your heart space and ask your higher self to lead.

Just the awareness of wanting to move from where we are to a higher emotion or higher consciousness helps us clear the stuck energy and the space around us.

Work with the LIGHT and invite it into your heart and radiate it out through your whole body and you will feel more calm and peaceful and clearer.

It will help you release energy that is not yours.

The way energy works is with INTENTION and using your IMAGINATION, that is all it takes to move the stuck energy within or around you.

End with I am beautiful and I love myself.

This clears your aura and puts your back in the flow.

We can all do it, we were just never taught about it.

In darkness I am blind, and I need, need, need. As darkness I can see, and receive.....

To have gone beyond the story of a nothing, I can only yell from this ledge:

"You must jump off a star into the jagged edge of a whisper.

You will bleed light. Have no fear.

Do not look to your neighbour, no matter how holy his face.

Everyone's forehead is too clean.

She likes to see her children dirty with dust and ash.

If you love the guru with the bright face, make him join you on your knees.

She has no mercy.

I warn you.

Not a drop."

The women know this in a way the men must be submitted in order to understand.

For thousands of years, the religions of the men have slowly destroyed the earth. The time is coming for this to end. Men, give up your pride and women, give up your vanity.

It is only then can we meet in the middle and dance together under Her radiance.

I bleed and my flow is directed by the moon and the tides, my moods are unpredictable ... sometimes many times I cannot think rationally ...

but I can read a poem and moon beams from my eyes...and

I can hold a million broken hearts in my pocket and make porridge whilst I pray...to the dog for humility.

Oh, do I know....she creates and destroys.

Loves fiercely.

And when she gets angry, blood thirsty.

All fear is the fear of God. Pride is the wall one climbs to get into the castle.

The rope is made of gratitude.

Hang yourself with it and make them open the gates to move the body.

Make it so today is not like yesterday, and tomorrow will be different forever • Anthony Robbins

There are so many people I haven't met yet. 

So many places I have not been and 

So many experiences waiting for me.

Life is about relationships, interactions, exchange and growth. There are so many people out there; you never know who you'll bump into.

Be open.

We're all stories in the end – Dr Who

My story is unknown, it unfolds moment to moment. A grand plan or vision would be nice, but I don't have one.

Ponder this:

If you leave everything as it is, are you afraid of not getting where you are going?

A dog has the soul of a philosopher. – Plato

A long time ago I realized that as much as I like coming to places and being places, what I really love is leaving places. 

Some may think that sounds blue, but I adore the feeling of new frontiers, adventure, moving on, change, the unknown, appreciating what is and receiving life – while being in motion.

I felt a deep sigh of relief, like I had come home after centuries of wandering. At some level, in all the various stages of my development, I was always weaving a nest for this love. 

All those times I had projected love onto strangers, chasing them down on the street to say hello, leaving notes on their bikes, were revealed for what they were. 

It was always a quest for Sayang. 

It was always a search for what I had lost so very long ago. 

And now, as my heart opened, her spirit entered, returning us to our rightful inheritance, the One-nest. Our eternal stomping ground and she is the feminine in me that is being integrated right now.  

The external relationship is always a mirror of the deeper internal relationship that is happening within oneself. How exquisite is this divine dance of love within and without.

Namaste

The spirit inside never sleeps....

No matter how far you paddle your boat up the river, if you stop paddling you will start to float backwards. 
You may have a goal to get to a certain place up the river, but once you get to that place, you cannot stay there unless you continue to work to maintain your position. 

The day you don’t feel like paddling to maintain your position, you will find that you have lost some ground and that it will take some work to get back to where you were. 
You will also find that when you quit paddling, you will go back down the river much faster than you paddled up the river.

There is no standing still in the river. 
You are either moving toward your goal or you are moving away from your goal. 
It takes discipline and work to maintain your goal, even after you have obtained it. 

One never satisfied achieving one's goal and then stopping. 
You don’t get to a certain point in your training and think that you are set for life. Continue to train for perfection and excellence in every area of your life.

When you stop training, you start to regress. 
The more you regress, the less prepared you are to meet your enemy. 

Continue to train hard and maintain your level of preparedness. 
Don’t let your skills, which you have worked so hard to achieve, disappear with the current of inactivity.
