What the sense feeleth, what the spirit discerneth, hath never its end in itself.
Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book For All And None by Nietzsche, Friedrich

Here is a wonderful poem that a dear friend living in Sweden shared with me on 11-11-1998
I just found it on my some dark basement in the depths of my computer, collecting cobwebs and e-dust.
I’ve not corrected any errors in his English but I think it’s all pretty good.

Choice for Change — By Wahcana

I’ve dreamt and I’ve dreamt for that day to come…

The day I was about to make that choice would be a day in peace
The day I was about to make that choice would be when I was rested and lay still

A day when sadness and longing was in my heart
A day when I saw there was nothing to loose - only let go
A day when my trust in love washed away all fear from my worned out soul

The day I was about to make that choice was when I saw that I had been longing for life all my years
When I could see through my grey wrinkled skin and into the dark of my eyes

Oh, there was a child playing together with birds !
That day would be the day of choice
Though the dream ended here…

Many years passed away but my dreaming decided to stay…
One morning a ’something’ arose …

As I slowly opened my worned eyes for a new old day, I noticed a bird outside, sitting in the tree.
It’s singing pored in through my slightly opened window and filled my room!
What was it !?
I could feel it but I did not knew it.
That ’something’ wouldn’t leave nor would I be told what it was…
The singing became louder and it all felt like a dream.
I started crying…I cried and I cried…

Then that ’something’ started bumping my heart…It went all faster and I couldn’t resist it…
My fear from this ’something’ began to fade away and a small voice touched my inner being.
That gentle voice…
I knew it!!!

Oh, my dream!

The gentle voice spoke: -
“I am here with you as I’ve always been, I am your child and waiting to be alive”

Oh, Now even the bird spoke to me!
Its singing became alive -
“Your dream is you… and dreams are come true”
“You are not an old man…you are a child to be revealed”

As I heard those words I cried even more…for so much there was to be enjoyed.

This morning wasn’t any ’something’, it was a miracle to be with!

And now I saw that everything was here with me! It’s always been!
Dreams are life’s longing for itself…and your heart will guide you to them.

The only choice there is is to “Love = let go”
And if dreams are to be followed,
Days are no longer days and life no longer life;
All is a miracle!

AND if all is loved and you let go,
How would you ever want to change anything???
Life is always -
Love is forever

“What is love?”

      ”The total absence of fear,” said the Master.

“What is it we fear?”

      ”Love,” said the Master.

(Anthony de Mello, SJ)

Here is a something I received from a dear friend when I lived in Switzerland for a while. His name was “The Count of Montecristo” although many just called him Soami (so-am-i). I may never see him again in this world for he is more elussive than the a swift breeze on a dark stary night — yet the impact he quietly had on my world, and the love I now feel for him each time I recall his presence, will always remain with me…

As the Count would say, “Either you’ve got it… or you haven’t”

Some months ago I heard the last part of a lecture series given by Ronald Wright that was broadcast on radio. It was quite fascinating.

The gist of what I heard was that his extensive research indicated that the primary cause behind the downfall of all great civilisations was over use of environmental resources. He gave some very compelling evidence and interesting historical data. Essentially it would seem we have learnt nothing in this regard from our ancestors and hence we are heading down exactly the same path.

A Short History of Progress

By Ronald Wright

Each time history repeats itself, so it’s said, the price goes up. The twentieth century was a time of runaway growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water–the very elements of life.

The most urgent questions of the twenty-first century are: where will this growth lead? can it be consolidated or sustained? and what kind of world is our present bequeathing to our future?

In A Short History of Progress Ronald Wright argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a 10,000-year experiment we have participated in but seldom controlled. Only by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster that humanity has repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we recognize the experiment’s inherent dangers, and, with luck and wisdom, shape its outcome.

Listen to Ronald Wright interviewed on CBC Radio One’s The Current.

“I don’t care if you have never and will never read any kind of book at all, but you must read this one. If you can’t read, pay someone to read it to you. . . In prose that is balefully evocative and irreducibly precise, Wright is in effect reading us our rights, giving us our options. This is Wright’s Riot Act. . .This wise, timely and brilliant book will be a bulwark against the short-sighted and the self-interested, and may also ironically save them from themselves.”
- The Globe and Mail

“The Massey Lectures series has weighed in, once again, with a provocative and timely exploration of important ideas. Ronald Wright, one of this country’s intellectual treasures, brings his background in archaeology, history, and comparative culture to bear on the loaded question of progress, and whether it is a good or a bad thing. . .Of course, and not to keep readers in suspense, the answer is both . . .Wright notes that the economic interdependence of the world today means that collapse, if and when it comes again, will be global. Ideology of any sort - Islamic, Christian, Marxist, or market fundamentalist - will push us all the faster toward that collapse. Only “moderation and the precautionary principle” can save us. . .Now if this excellent book could only be made required reading at the White House and on Capitol Hill in Washington . . .”
- Quill & Quire

“[Robert Wright] is a hard-nosed thinker, a literate and provocative presenter.”

“Ecstasy is a Feeling that comes Only
When the Heart is tuned to that pitch of Love
Which melts it…Which makes it Tender…Which gives it Gentleness
Which makes it Humble”

We know from bio-resonance that water retains information. Your body is mostly water, so it is a library, not just of your physical condition but of your mind and your soul. Pictured here are photos of frozen water crystals taken by Prof. Masaru Emoto. These photos and many others are in his magnificent book about resonance called, Messages from Water.
