Eight Clues to Everlasting Happiness

by Robert Thibodeau

Too busy to find yourself? Too busy and worried to investigate your own free spirit? My second spiritual teacher told me long ago, “At the 101 level, there is no god unless you prove there is by the way you live”. Jesus said to the apostles “Do you not know? Ye are Gods in the becoming”.

Christ, Lao Tzu, Chan Tze, Buddha, Nagarjuna, Tsong Ka Pa, Pythagoras, Blavatsky, Steiner, Osho, Ohsawa, so many gave us such clue. Here’s my hermetic macrobiotic clues for happiness and infinite luck, good karma.

The clues-

1. Always attune to the infinite supply of insight, energy, and good heartedness by sharing your best. Always be open to receive what life offers as an opportunity to grow, learn, and awaken to ever renewing energy.
2. Always be hungry–for learning, life, and further experience inward and outward creating space for greater peace, understanding, and good will.
3. Always allow yourself sacred deep sleep–enabling digestion of past experience creating new capacities for further growth, adventure, and experience. When you can’t sleep, read deep spiritual literature and relax, take a breath in of the divine imagination.
4. Always have good memory by listening well to everything. Work to attain the ability to align oneself with the spirit of virtue, the dharma, mindfulness, cosmic memory, akasha, universal mind, universal peace, in stillness and infinite vastness. Imagine it! Cosmic memory is the ability to see the golden thread weaving through each and every moment life offers. Imagine it.
5. Always be happy to give and receive learning, blessings, and helpful hand. Deep appreciation, gratitude, and thankfulness for all life’s joys and challenges opens spiritual doors of new opportunity, healing, and good fortune (vs. misfortune).
6. Always be inwardly at-one and attuned to the infinite spirit of the universe; egoless striving for awareness and truth. Rest in the great oneness as well as the great uniqueness of each expression of that oneness. Be immediate and present in both action and response, yet resting in the heart of eternity. We are the rainbow uniting the great divide.
7. Always abide in truth and the happiness for all creation, all others, all of the world within and without. At the least, everything is an opportunity to learn ad grow; that is, purification, learning and growing up! Right judgment brings about a new world or order of the universe (see Ohsawa’s ‘Zen Macrobiotics’).
8. Spiritual Justice is the harmony of the inner and outer, the heavenly and earthly making for beauty, health, virtue, freedom, peace, eternal truth, and happiness.

Theosophy is the wisdom learning, the wise ways of ‘gods in the becoming’ meaning virtues and realizations, truth, in the becoming.

Anthroposophy is the wisdom of little moments mattering to big moments. It is the wisdom of awareness and mindfulness arising from knowledge of the macrocosm and microcosm, heaven and earth, coming into creative balance. Anthroposophy awakens the knowledge of the Christos as a healing force to the etheric/astral worlds of the heavenly garden that earth potentially could be.

Macrobiotics is the wisdom of the macro or centripetal forces of the peripheral heavenly energies learning to balance the earthly centrifugal outgoing energies. Macrobiotics is learning to balance outer and inner, higher and lower, acid and alkaline, yin and yang, to find a creative balance bringing about health, happiness, and freedom.

Plato said “If you are willing to learn, anything can happen”. Happiness, love, joy, and freedom is a learning choice, an unending story, an ever-flowering journey to wholeness.

Learning is to imagine ourselves and the world healthy, holy, wise, and loving. Imagination and learning is the first step. The second step is living it. The third step is learning from our own experience, as well as the experience of others. The fourth step in the heart of awakening and will be the subject of my next article. Blessings.

“May the rains of lava, blazing stones and weapons

From now on become a rain of flowers,

And may all battling with weapons

From now on be a playful exchange of flowers.”

-Shantideva, A Guide to a Bodhisattva’s Life, 10:9.

It was the Promethean wish that all beings find happiness and the mindful causes of happiness. This is and was the goal of all sages in all ages, to awaken the mind, the light of the spirit, to co-create, participate with the world in freedom and loving kindness, wisdom and compassion, truth and love.

“The people who sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.”

-Gospel of Matthew, 4:16

Metaphysically speaking, darkness comes first, then light. The gardener knows that, without light, nothing blooms or comes to fruit, but without darkness nothing germinates, roots, and holds ground. Selflessness, emptiness, the willingness to learn, contemplative openness and yogic concentration, is the key to unlocking the seven seals or charkras of enlightenment. When we recognize and acknowledge trouble, conflict, and suffering, a space is created for compassionate action to arise. Think of the darkness of the garden compost.

“Hello Darkness My Old Friend, I’ve Come To Talk To You Again…”

-Song ‘Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel

Meditation is like that. In the dark silence, the quiet mind sits still in the heart until the voice of the silence speaks, or new light emerges. The ancient India Upanishad invocation speaks-

Lead me from the unreal to the Real;

Lead me from darkness to Light;

Lead me from death to Immortality.

In the Gnostic Gospel of Pistis Sophia, Jesus reveals to his disciples “the mysteries of the Light of the Father,” and tells them:

“Do ye seek after these mysteries? No mystery is more excellent than they which shall bring your souls unto the Light of Lights, unto the place of Truth and goodness, unto the place where is neither male nor female, nor form, but Light everlasting.” Many sacred scriptures speak of darkness or ignorance turning to light and wisdom.

Or is it an injunction to transcend opposites? Carl Jung’s evocatory title to his great work, ‘The Mysterium Coniunctionis: An Inquiry into the Separation and Synthesis of Psychic Opposites in Alchemy’. Think of it as the mysterious conjunction of the sun and moon, inner and outer, spirit and matter, purusha-prakriti. Jung knew the secret processes of alchemy, yoga, and healing. First you separate the gross, dark matter, prima materia, from the subtle body. Both are then purified, afterwhich a re-uniting or communion takes place at a higher level.

Goethe speaks in Faust:

“Wedded couples seeking bliss

Let this wisdom guide you;

The recipe for love is this,

that first we must divide you.”

The first step in Patanjali’s Yoga Aphorisms (the first known book on Yoga) states-

“Yoga is the ceasing of the modifications of the mind”.

The first step in yoga, then, is to stop going through changes and sit the mind still, within. If full of light, go dark in stillness listening. If too dark, turn on the light. Look for a new balance.

“In darkness we do all we can, in daylight we’re oblivion; our hearts so pure and clear.” -Dougie MacLean, ‘Turning Away’

Stopping the noise and chatter of the mind and world round, being here now in stillness is the usual first step in both meditation and yoga. It is in deep inner listening, stillness, that a new light, a new insight, may emerge.

One suggested meditation practice is the mind asana of the heart, sitting still in the heart, while observing a spark or starlight at the brow or forehead (See Robert cd talk: ‘Heart Meditation’). There is an intimate relationship and dance of life between the head light and the wisdom of the body, the heart. Many spiritual practices consist of discriminating between the two, purification, and then later, a re-acquainting or uniting.

“With half-closed eyes focused on the tip of the nose, the mind steadily fastened [on its object], and the active prana current of the ida and pingala nadis suspended [by guiding it into the sushumna], thus the yogi reaches the slate of realization of Truth in the form of a radiating light which is the source of all things, and the highest objective to be reached. What higher state is there that he might expect?” -Hatha Yoga Pradipika

It is in the re-creating of heaven (star) and earth (heart) that new worlds are born, or new opportunities and insights emerge.

“Direct your [inner] gaze upon ‘light’ by slightly raising the eyebrows. Then perform shambhavi mudra as you have learned it. This induces samadhi. Some confuse themselves by the alluring promises of the shastras and tantras, others by the Vedic Karmas, and still others by logic. None of them recognize the real value of this mudra, by the aid of which one can cross the ocean of existence.” -Hatha Yoga Pradipika

Crossing, or making the proper passage or ‘passover’ from the head to the heart necessitates that you have a head to start with which to see the promised land, and a heart of wisdom and compassion to incarnate or manifest such ideal or vision.

“He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” -Gospel of St. John, 1:8

God (Father Archetype), the Word (Christos, Logos, Buddhi-Manas), life (Spirit), and light (Mindfulness, Dharma, Duty) are the four-fold initial ordering revealed in the gospel of St. John the Divine, but it is hidden everywhere in all sacred scripture to the wisdom eye of the heart. It is the Tetragrammaton, Pythagorus’ Tetraktis. It is Plato’s cross upon which humankind is hung, strung, and maintained. It is the Native American four directions, the four Vedas, the four elements. Plato said around 500 BC, the World Soul is crucified in time and space within each individual. Thus, the World Spirit/Soul is rose rooted or rosy crossed in every human heart, in every mindstream continuum. We are spiritual beings with a body and soul. May the physical body find its soul in the world of virtuous merit. May the soul find its light in the Spirit of the World. May the World find itself in each and every Heart awakened in love and truth.

“Words are mere sound and smoke, dimming the heavenly light.”

GOETHE, Faust

Yoga and Meditation can quiet the mind into the heart of understanding where the light of the universal logos, the World Word Ether or Askasa, the true voice of the silence, can be heard. There is a worldly materialistic light wherein we see differences and act out of separateness causing unnecessary suffering due to not understanding the true nature of the self, being light and love, wisdom and compassion. There is a light born within that awakens the way of virtue and joy. There is a holy quiet listening spiritual darkness within betrayed by anger, jealousy, hatred, ignorance and delusion. There is a rainbow of possibility open to each of us to explore our own spirituality in freedom, joy for the open road, and compassionate truth.

May each of us discover and find our unique way, and may the world find peace and wholeness. Om Tat Sat.

May the Light of Truth Eternal, whose echo throughout the ages keeps alive in each heart, spiritual imagination, inspiration, and the intuition, energize our hearts. May the highest truth enlighten our minds and quicken our hands and feet in compassion’s loving kindness! May all beings find joy, happiness and dharma mind. May the Light of Truth Eternal, whose echo down the ages has kept alive the spark of Spirit, enkindle our souls with spiritual intuition, energizing our hearts to enlighten our path.

The secret of light is that we make it shine.

Empty Openess, the Spirit Light of Soul and the Journey of MIND

by

Robert Thibodeau of Mayflower

“When you possess light within, you see it externally.” -Anais Nin

What is light? It’s hard to look into the sun or even a bright electric light, let alone see its true source. So what is light? Can we know light without dark to contrast it? I think of the  light of consciousness, the light in another’s eyes as the doorway to the soul. I think of all the people who had a near death experience and claimed they saw the light of peace. There is a light of knowing, a light of imagination, a light of being, a light at the end of the tunnel. I do believe that; I guess I just can’t find the right tunnel. Ha! In the beginning, the first creation was light. Thank God there is light. Who could imagine ‘Dark On Yoga’? It’s ‘Light on Yoga’!

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” -Kahlil Gibran

How many songs are there talking about the ‘light of love’? Even I have a song with the words ‘I want to be the light on your road, I want to be the light on your rose, set free the heart of your soul’. What about the light of awareness? Nobody says the ‘dark of awareness’. Consciousness and growth, upwardness, goodness, even heaven, depend on light. It’s an old wisdom that it’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, so let there be light.

“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is the light of heaven, the light of the stars, sun, and moon. There is the light of enlightenment, the light of dharma, the light of scripture, the light of wisdom. There is the falling light of sunset, eve. There is an inner and outer light. One warms and enlightens the inner side of life.

There is on the shadow side, the fallen light, electricity; known in western esoteric circles as enslaved discarded disintegrating astral bodies, or artificial light. Desire and fear, anger and jealousy, obsession and compulsive actions seem to more fit this negative bardo state which can bring rainbows if we can learn to transform negative experience and perceptions into spiritual insight and light of knowing and loving kindness, compassion.

In spirituality and the mind of yoga, we are not talking about the outer physical light in which we see differences, separation, and contrasting views. Mostly I am talking about inner light, insight, spiritual light, even the light that lights dreams and imaginative adventure, joy. This light of spiritual possibility exists inside us. It exists outside us when we, from our spirit selves, learn to see and feel the unifying principle, the universal light and love available to all of us. Our Higher Self is united with every other, there is a great spiritual oneness, wholeness in the universe. Yet each of us is a unique expression of that oneness. Each of us out of freedom and capacity can choose to explore and unfold a unifying principle of love and truth. Each of us can choose love over hate. Each of us can choose to act out of wholeness, oneness, rather than out of separateness. As the Dalai Lama says, everyone wants to be happy. There is a vast richness inside each of us that is infinite.

“His high endeavors are an inward light

That makes the path before him always bright.”

-William Wordsworth

Light and dark meeting in balance produce the rainbow. Goethe and Rudolf Steiner indicated this. The sky is blue because we look at dark space through light. Looking at light through dark (dusk) we see the red sunset. This can be demonstrated in any classroom and is self-evident once observed. Without light, we could not see with eyes. Goethe thought light itself, over time, created the eye. Light itself is invisible. We see what catches or reflects the light. In an analogy of spirit and matter, light is a spirit force that matter entangles or romances creating consciousness and form. Light and electricity are opposites like good and evil.

Turning on a light can chase away the darkness, but a simple electrical light usually does not banish the darkness of ignorance, delusion, anger, jealousy, fear, and hatred. Nor does a love that lacks wisdom stop an unnecessary war. Only hard-earned wisdom born of compassion and a love that is infinitely patient and wise can be a spiritual alchemy of lasting change and progress.

“A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways – by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul.” -Plato

Light and life (substance) are always in affair. In this respect, theosophy tells us that earth gave us our form and stars (suns) gave us intelligence. Between the upper light of intelligence and the dark life of will, is the heart of love or the middle way. Light, love, and life make the great trinity of a human being.

Light can be cold, warmth can be dark. Love is what reconciles opposites, marrying the higher and lower, giving birth to divine presence. The light of intellect alone can be cold, calculating, even ruthless. Love alone can be naive and foolish. Trees are in nature’s harmony and love and they get chopped down oft for nothing. Flowers are love and they get picked and stepped on. It seems that we need the light of wisdom and the higher love of loving kindness, virtue, compassion, and at-one-ment, union, to find lasting peace and happiness.

“Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow’s speed.” -Howard Nemerov

When Jesus the Christ said ‘Ye are the Light of the World’, it indicated the possibility of an intelligence holding a world conception. ‘Ye are the Salt of the Earth’ perhaps indicated the need for practical earthy intelligence. Surely the Beatitudes of the New Testament indicate a higher love, a buddhist-like compassion for all who suffer. When both Jesus Christ and Buddha indicated that you will “know them by their deeds,” this is a strong indication that light and love, intelligence and virtue, need demonstration, to be put into action as the Bhagavad Gita of spiritual India infers. The further injunction “By their fruits you shall know them” is a further indication of virtuous actions leading to even a higher fruition of freedom and love/compassion to come in the future.

“Alas! must it ever be so?

Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go,

And fight our own shadows forever?”

-Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton

It is a dangerous thing to live in just ‘good intentions’. The old saying is that ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions’. To live in just words and pictures, thoughts, is the beginning of spiritual pornography. One lives in pictures rather than reality. One reads a menu but never eats. To live in feelings, even loving ones, that have no head light is to set oneself up to be a victim or fallen flower. It is in the heart where intelligence and love, wisdom and compassion, may learn to meet and agree, learn to die and be born again (Being born into spirit is a teaching as old as time in ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia, India). Hermes is thrice born; spirit, soul, and subtle body! It is in the heart that true light and love is born and reborn. Here the blues turn into the warmth of loving kindness, compassion. The heart, like the sun, can shine all the time.

“The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the heart of the teaching, YOGA is love. It is the union of purified mind (light) with purified body (form). When the magical arts state that each of us is a star, it is both in ‘possibility,’ ‘becoming,’ and in eternal being, spirit. This implies not only coming to light, but also coming into being. It implies a healthy darkness that holds the light, allows you to see the light. These are deep mysteries that modern physics and science touch upon in the discovery that there is a black hole, a dark void, at the center of each star. The light and the dark, the purusha and prakriti of old India, commingle creating the planetary system, the solar logos, the music of the spheres. The void is the dark heart of matter interacting with the universal spark at the heart of our own little planetary system of chakras, colors, tones and notes continually alive and creating. To awaken to spiritual nature and consciousness, the ancient wisdom has given us meditation and yoga. In freedom, each of us can come to ever new insight and compassionate understanding of our self and the universe around us. May all beings find light and love, self-realization, enlightenment, and the virtue of being true to the Higher Self of the world.

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” -Jung

If in the dark, be the light. If there’s too much noise, movement, light, be the dark stillness calm abiding peace beyond understanding. Be empty to become full.

“The SELF shines in all, but in all it does not shine forth.” -Upanishads

When the light outweighs the darkness, the teacher is present; quick, listen with your whole heart! Heart of love is the bell, truth is what rings us clear in the journey of light. Bless your heart and mind!

“Love is not consolation. It is light.” -Nietzsche

Perhaps in the end, as well as the beginning, it is we who make the light shine. It is we that learn from the light of others. It is we who carry the sweet and heavy burden of light. And how do we carry such a sweet burden as light? By love. And that too in the begginning and end is something we create and co-create, but that is another story.

“Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything,

That’s how the light gets in.”

-Leonard Cohen

“Light is force, and the latter is produced by the will. As this will proceeds from an intelligence which cannot err, for it has nothing of the material organs of human thought in it, being the superfine pure emanation of the highest divinity itself–(Plato’s “Father”) it proceeds from the beginning of time, according to immutable laws, to evolve the elementary fabric requisite for subsequent generations of what we term human races.” -H.P.Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled.

“If you believe it, you’ll see it; if you live it, you’ll come to know it; if you love it, you’ll become it, awaken it.” -robert thibodeau

“Re-examine all that you have been told … dismiss that which insults your soul.” -Whitman

Belief is a noun. Spiritual Self is a verb. We and the world are the subject. Belief is a trust in some thing. It is Piscean Age belief that someone is going to make it and come back for us, that somehow the world is going to be saved; or at least some of us or some part of me. A belief is a trust or confidence in someone, some fact, perhaps in a god. A belief is some kind of acceptance or trust. It is trust in a state, or future state, of affairs. In the coming Aquarian Age, individual self is the belief, the religion. We are learning to believe in our Self, the inner and outer, the being and becomings. Furthermore, each person wants to know for themselves, not just believe. Buddha said  “doubt everything,” i.e. check everything out for your self as to its virtue, veracity, or truth. The true ideal of the Aquarian Age is to not believe, but to ‘Know thy Self’. The ancient Greek/Egyptian Mysteries had it as a major injunction, ‘Mind know thyself, and thou will come to know the whole world’. ‘Man’ means ‘Manas,’ mind, thinker, mindstream through all time. Rudolf Steiner said, ‘Know thyself to know the world, know the world to know thyself’. We are inseparable from the world around us, as well as from the inner life, the subtle bodies, the inner self. Fate and destiny, karma and dharma, is formed from both what comes from outside us toward us, and from what comes from the inside out of us. We receive karma from past lives coming at us, our future unfolds from the mind soul within us.

“Moons are no more bounds to spiritual power than bat-balls. The key to every man is his thought.” -Emerson, Circles

Perhaps there is something called ‘conscious belief’. In the book ‘Biology of Belief,’ science is proving our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, can create our biological states of matter and life. Scientists now prove our ‘belief’ makes water take different subtle geometrical shapes. Thinking and feeling can change our biochemistry. The ‘belief’ now being proved is a ‘mind over matter,’ it’s also a heart ‘feeling over matter’ thing. The old Tibetan saying is ‘Where the mind goes, the body will follow’. My first spiritual teacher said “If you believe it, you’ll see it”. I believe we can change our thinking and feelings to change our self. Macrobiotics teaches that we can change our diet to change our thinking. We can thus change bottom up, or top down. We can also just zero in, center in, on the heart. Love and Truth, heart-centered, is an ultimate transformative power that we have just barely tapped into. It is this cosmic spiritual force, that of the spiritual soul awakening in the heart that may, in the end, bring us both world peace and self-realization.

It is becoming a self evident fact these days that what we believe creates our reality. What we believe creates also our fiction, our illusion, and what we ‘think’ we see. But what is reality? Isn’t reality both an outer and inner experience? How many have it outwardly but not inwardly? Inwardly but not outwardly? The Beatles may have it right, “Within you and without you”. And I add, there is a MIND that awakens in the middle way, often crucified between the two. This is the Higher Self of Blavatsky, the Buddhi-Manas. It is the Consciousness Soul and ‘Reincarnating Ego’ of Rudolf Steiner. It is the ‘Mindfulness’ of Buddha. It is the ‘Thought Adjuster’ and the Karmic Angel of fate and destiny. It is the Silent Witness and Watcher of Osho. It is the one who says ‘It’s all right’. It is the me and you that is part of everything and nothing. It is the pilgrim spark soul journeying from eternity to eternity. It is the artist and poet in you, the lover and romancer, the father and mother of your many lifetimes. Does it have to hit us in the face before we get it?! We are love and truth, this is what I believe; if there is no god, let us become one, full of grace and giving, surrender and learning, virtue, compassion and truth. We are it, there is not other. Unless we prove there is a god by the way we live, there is none. Gosh, do I sound Aquarian Age, or what? Didn’t Jesus and Buddha say as much?

We are love. We are truth. We are silence witnessing, emptiness open and receiving. We all all of it and nothing. We are infinite possibility and potential. We are heaven and hell too. We are whatever we want to make ourselves into. We are what we fear and desire. We can transcend fear and desire. There is a deeper reality to ourselves and the worlds we live in. Rudolf Steiner’s ‘Outline of Esoteric Science’ speaks of it. H. P. Blavatsky’s ‘Secret Doctrine’ speaks of it. So does Gandhi, King, Einstein, Ohsawa, Manly Hall, and all true mystics and saints, speak of it. This infinite potential lives within us. It is only secret to us, all the birds sing of it. The stars and suns shine of it. The colors of the rainbow, the rising and setting sun, the flowers and gemstones, all sing of it. Perhaps we need an apocalypse, a contrast to happiness to realize and appreciate what we already have. John Lennon, that Beatle boy, sang a song called ‘God’, wherein he says,

“God is a concept,

By which we can measure,

Our pain,

I’ll say it again,

God is a concept,

By which we can measure,

Our pain,

I don’t believe in magic,

I don’t believe in I-ching,

I don’t believe in bible,

I don’t believe in tarot,

I don’t believe in Hitler,

I don’t believe in Jesus,

I don’t believe in Kennedy,

I don’t believe in Buddha,

I don’t believe in mantra,

I don’t believe in Gita,

I don’t believe in yoga,

I don’t believe in kings,

I don’t believe in Elvis,

I don’t believe in Zimmerman,

I don’t believe in Beatles,

I just believe in me,

Yoko and me,

And that’s reality.”

It’s best to be yourself, not only are all other selfs taken, but God (destiny and fate) can’t find you if you are not yourself.

It is our historical turn to believe in ourselves. Many of us believe in another person to save us. Rare is it that others don’t let us down or betray us. Who else can carry our burden, our karma, our destiny? It is time that we cease lying to and betraying ourselves. There is no need for further suffering, there’s enough to go around for all of us to arouse compassion and a will to act for freedom out of love and truth. It is time to believe in Higher SELF. Emerson’s ‘Self Reliance’ and Steiner’s ‘Philosophy of Freedom’ speak of this inherent infinite eternal potential and possibility within each of us. Don’t believe in anything outside your own heart and mind, is the Aquarian Call to awaken now! We don’t need another apocalypse to tell us. The end to the Mayan calendar is nothing next to what is dawning in the heart and mind of each of us. It is time for each of us to not just think and talk about it, but be it, become it, live it. It is an old wise saying, “Live the Life to know the teachings”. Before one can be selfless, one has to have a self. It is time to take responsibility for our many lives. It is time to rediscover the unique spiritual opportunity and wealth within each individual. The false Aquarian Age is unconscious herd instinct, survival rather than revival. It is time to invest in our universally responsive and responsible self– good air and water, good education for all, the garden, music, poetry, yoga, meditation, community get-togethers. The spark must now turn into the flame of greater participation, greater love and truth, compassion and wit. Each of us must look within for a new age to mature and dawn and flower from our own hearts and minds. I don’t believe, I know! There is truth and love within each one of us. We all want to be happy and joyfully participant with each other in creating a new heaven and earth. In our Spirit we are already free, in our Soul we are brothers and sisters, love and compassion. In our actions and body we are servants of a new dawn, a new age, a higher virtue angel. There is no religion higher than truth, no science deeper than love and compassion, no art nor wonder greater than being human, open and willing to learn; all the worlds rest on this.

“When we drop desire and fear and cross the river to the tree of life, all of us are angels.” -Trebore Tau Bodhi of Mayflower

“Many words are spoken, deeds speak for themselves

with truth unbroken, compassion and happiness to all!”

-Robert of Mayflower

Each Heart is Architecture

When the dark and light do weave

the tapestry of soul, every moment

that we shared reveals its true gold;

then the truth, the love, the secret

beyond everything one could know

will find the co-creator, the deeper

highest part of Soul; World, its Spirit

ever changing form and grace, love

without end, heart truth will find its face

and hands, hold all the world again

sacred in place and time, each heart

a rainbow hue, each path a curvature

leading back to each and all renewed.

Each thought a light, each gesture song,

each heart is architecture of poem

and song.

“When we learn to see under the roots of trees, we will predict the weather. When we learn to see and feel what is deep in human hearts, we will predict the fate and destiny of individuals and nations. When we learn to see what is in our own heartmind stream, we will unlock the door to enlightenment; freedom and happiness.” -robert of mayflower

-robert of mayflower, fab feb 2010

“The storms we come, the will will prevail, shed your beliefs and go naked in the garden. Flowers will sprout from your heart. Imagination will gain the wings of Hermes. Inspiration will read the script of the gods. Intuition will lead the way, flowering in full awakeness, truth and love. Let Orpheus’ head roll in the river with Moses, new springs come now.”

-Trebore Tau Bodhi of Mayflower
