What do the souls of Hitler and other past leaders have to say?

Read this very interesting article here: http://www.cosmiclighthouse.com/aug08/articles/expecting_the_unexpected
As we compiled the Leaders book a huge issue emerged concerning the meaning and purpose of evil, suffering, and all kinds of negativity. One of our leaders was Mahatma Gandhi, whose human spirituality ran very deep.
I asked him: You have spoken of having many lifetimes. Have you learned in the course of those lifetimes what is the purpose of human life?
Gandhi: “The purpose of human life is to learn as much as we can about ourselves and (as they say up here) to learn lessons. At Home we’re in an ocean, an all-consuming environment of unconditional love. Here we do not feel hate, despair, or any emotions or feelings that would be considered negative. It is only by assuming a human body that we are able to experience these things, yet in each one of these seemingly negative experiences of our lessons, our appreciation and wisdom concerning the unconditional love from which we come grows, magnifies, and intensifies. So we come to Earth to partake of the lessons we may learn there in order that we may grow in appreciation of what we have at Home and who we are as a soul, a piece of the all-encompassing divinity.”

All these things are of the mind

Who am I, just a question mark?
Not even a very good one, at least not yet acclaimed. I am jealous of them or am I not?
We are not the same, most of all not in our father’s eyes. I always feel lesser.
I know this to not be the absolute truth; yes there are times that I feel great.
(Beware: own your personal power, it is a gift. You fall behind when you allow comparisons to make you blind. If you would walk on the path of detachment, separate yourself from this then also.)
(How can you compare yourself to those who are successful in attachment, you have failed too many times in your attempts to return to that game.)
Is my life such a contradiction?
(All these things are of the mind my brother.)
I thank you. Every thing you say is true, because now I see that comparisons are pregnant with confusion, birthing separation, raising anxiety.
I hold out my hands, I turn my voice to heaven, I close my eyes. There is no other way to expel my addiction: loving what is false, believing what is true, suffering under illusion.
You see when a person lets his ego interpret reality rather than the soul or the spiritual attitude system, he is lost in illusion.
(Welcome back, my friend.)

the write riddle

I must write what I know, but I know not what to write. I don’t know what to make of this life.
One moment I feel joy to be part of this world and another moment I fall apart on the floor and I know tears. For many years I have known sorrow and war.
Is this what I know?
I must write what I feel, but I don’t feel right.
Sometimes I take delight in simple things but later on I‘m afraid about future states of mind that are unkind.
This must be what living is like for me. These are the eyes with which I see.
Are these my hands with which I write?
I must write what is real but what is there at the core?
There are stories about people, images of moments, emotions and more.
Who am I? What am I here for?
I am here to write about something real knowing then that I cannot write.
At the core there is no right or wrong only silence, no words, and no violence. No reason for writing or fighting.
Nothing exists at the core.
Does nothing real exist?
These last few days I have felt a deep sadness. I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore.

clean hands

Immigration policy should be generous; it should be fair; it should be flexible. With such a policy we can turn to the world, and to our own past, with clean hands and a clear conscience.

Take This Life

Without a doubt I am now sailing out to sea, in the mirror I see my eyes glinting mysteriously and I breathe. In the deep; I am accepting of all my dark sides. Would you swim alongside me and surface or hide?
You are on the inside of my mind, I am constantly wondering, contemplating if you are as far as I imagine, as close to me as I would like. You are so quiet in your affections, but your energy is alike to Buddha, so strong in compassion, so wise in walking.
While I sit beside you I am content, maybe only due to that Buddha-like quality: I pray instead of pretend. Love can become a spontaneous meditation, a suspended relaxation.
I am happy to love you even if I am just a field you wander through, I may be a means of experience for you like an experiment and I am content with that. I will love even without you understanding.
I am non-demanding in this state, thankful in prayer each hour, breathing, leaving the outcome to the angels, leaving the decision to you. Passive maybe, patient yes, ready to surrender, willing to bless, I will treasure these moments for many days, maybe forever.
How did this happen between us, what is this mystery? A magic string has been unraveled, a memory of a thousand lives with you. Wherever I go I feel sparks inside, warmth, I am alive, before I was just dreaming, dying, surviving. I pretend to capture the feeling in words and I am failing.
Accepting of all my dark sides, I am sailing on this ocean of pride. Would you swim alongside me and surface or hide? Take this life, ecstatic life, take your time, you are mine.

What is yet to come

A fragment from Karen Bishops latest energy alert.
Things will be settling down as our re-connections become more and more intact, and this is already beginning now. And yes, everyone will begin to experience miracles and new beginnings. Hitting rock bottom created opportunities for change for many, so then, much will be re-structured, re-aligned, and settled into very new spaces.
Much will be different and will continue to evolve and change in a disruptive and destructive way until we reach 2012. Thus, there will continue to be upheavals for a few more years for many, but most of everything will be intact and ready for the very New World to be created fully by 2012.
Coming together in community will be paramount, and we will be forming smaller groups of supportive souls who know each other intimately in times to come. Our old ways of living and being created separation, anonymity, and the like, and this will soon be a reality of the past.
Travel will be greatly compromised, and this will serve to support the unity reality. Air and auto travel will be highly limited to those of affluence, and air travel will almost be rare. Train travel will be the norm and serve as the primary source of movement into other areas, as well as smaller inventions for very local travel yet to be introduced.
Families and loved ones will relocate in order to be together geographically and to serve as support units for their whole. The walls of judgment, separation, and ego-personality states will rapidly dissipate through these times of change. The area where I currently reside is comprised of retired Buddhist monks, a strong gay community, retired main stream individuals, healers, Mormons, and many creative artists. Everyone here gets along as we need to support each other. It becomes easy to see only the soul, beauty, and gifts and talents of another while disregarding the package they are contained in, as we are all one and we greatly need each other. And this is how it will be for most everyone soon. We will actually finally “see” each other!
“Local” will be paramount. Smaller communities will sustain themselves and support each other. And this is when our own special gifts and talents will be needed, recognized, and highly revered. This is the way of the higher realms. And yes, smaller communities can exist within a metropolitan area as well. Where I currently live, the nearest store is an hour away. But we have avid gardeners and growers here, a strong farmer’s market, we each share our experiences and supports for sustainable and natural building, and I can literally hike, write, get my mail, connect with others, take yoga, and much else without leaving my own back yard. In this way, the gas prices have very little impact as well. I rarely need to get in my car. Running errands is virtually extinct.
Barack Obama will become president of the US. His soul has predestined this path at this particular time. He carries past life energy of Abraham Lincoln and other masters and highly evolved beings. This has been planned at higher levels for some time now. He brings the energy of unity and change and will have an effect which we have not seen in eons of time. I have known this for quite some time, but Hillary followers got very angry with me! If you are one who favors John McCain, please refrain from letting me know. This was not my idea…I am just the messenger!
The supports we have longed for, for so very long, will finally arrive. And they will come in the form of each other. Financial supports will arrive through our store-fronts (kindly find more detailed information about store-fronts in the energy alert for July 9th located in the archives).
August of 2008 will bring in some beautiful energy. Much will have been resolved and settled in by then, and thus, more will be intact at last. We will experience another opening to the higher levels, and like fairy dust being sprinkled over us, the magic will appear at every turn. I tear up when I see these times as they are so very beautiful.

steady in the light

Rutesheim 11-07
In the valley I sit under the plastic roof and I watch the rain. The sky thunders and I ponder. I think that this is exactly the kind of moment in which silence descends. Down it comes with the rain and in this moment of contemplation and wondering I think of him.
I question: why?
Lightning flashes as if to remind me that God is magnificent in his ways. This storm now on the outside instead of on the inside tells me of his power, the healing rain; a sign of his mystery.
Here there is a peace that passeth understanding. Elohim.

through zones of annihilation

Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him. In this lies the dignity of daring... Only if we venture repeatedly through zones of annihilation can our contact with Divine Being, which is beyond annihilation, become firm and stable. The more a man learns wholeheartedly to confront the world which threatens him with isolation, the more are the depths of the Ground of Being revealed and the possibilities of new life and Becoming opened.
