Envision a moment of quiet solitude
where all is calm and serene.
Being still and breathing easy, nothing disturbs your tranquility.
The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and all around you is peaceful.
This magic moment defines the golden age of peace, a single solitary
experience of silent stillness.
The greatest gift is silent stillness.
To receive this gift, just be here now.
Let your body be still,
let your mind be silent,
let your heart be open,
let your breath be free.
In this moment is all there is
Between each breath is the key
With each inhalation I receive love
With each exhalation I release fear
In the stillpoint between
I know peace
Is this not all there is?
Love is all
All is one
Peace is now.
It begins with one person making a choice between love and fear. In
that one personal decision, the consequences reverberate throughout
the universe. A pebble tossed in the ocean of humanity is never
lost. It ripples throughout time. Become a pebble and drop into that
vast sea called life. Be a pebble of love.
When there is light in the soul, there is beauty in the person,
When there is beauty in the person, there is harmony in the home, When there is harmony in
the home, there is order in the nation, When there is order in the nation, there is peace
in the world.
-- Ancient Chinese proverb
In each moment, there is only the choice between love and fear. The
choice is easy to make. Once the choice is made, the path becomes
clear.
Life is a spiritual journey, a soul's way home through darkness and
light. Knowing who you truly are is enlightenment. Now you are aware
of the presence and the purpose of your path. Now it makes perfect
sense. Now you know you are not alone, you were never alone. Now you
are one with the infinite unfathomable mystery of life, the source of
all creation. Now within you is the power, the magic, the light of
love.
God is love. God is not fear. Who says to fear God? What is fear?
What do you fear? Fear of death, fear of loneliness, fear of loss, of
lack, of pain and suffering. these are all illusions of separation, our
separation from god.
There is only one god, one supreme source. Our separation through time
and space is dissolving, our time now is one of unity. The tide of
humankind is turning.
Whether we call ourselves communists or capitalists, Hindu
or Buddhists, Moslem or Christians, whether we are blind,
lame, well or happy, this earth is ours. not someone
else's. it not only the rich man's earth, this earth is
ours. Yours and mine.
-- J. Khrishnamurti
The pendulum reaches its apex and begins to swing the other way. We
are the pivotal generation that makes the shift. Never before has any
one generation the power to change the world as we. We are the bridge
between the past and the future at the gateway of the millennium. We
are the cultural creatives that declare the values that will prevail.
In the next 100 days, let us examine our values, our lives and make
conscious choices on what we bring into the 21st century. Let us
express them to one another, let us see what really is important as a
world together. Let us lead the way in The Golden Age of Peace.
September 22nd begins the countdown of 100 days to the New Millennium.
Now is the time to change our daily practice and to create a structure
that fully supports the best in us. What does our heart desire, what
keeps us from manifesting our dream? Daily practice brings forth our
truth. It takes just 28 days to make or break a habit. Here is our
golden opportunity to be who we really are. A child of god.
Fall is the time of the Teacher, a time to share the wisdom of our
harvest. And here we are, at the close of the 2nd millennium, heirs to
the ancient and modern treasures. What do we value, what do we hold
as our standards as we write a new chapter in history. What ideal do
we live in the New Millennium?
We have a great power to change our ways, to discard old attitudes and
habits that no longer serve us, that in fact, hinder us instead. We
have a moment to clear out our emotional, mental and physical closets
of all the stuff that clutters our lives. We can make each day a
celebration of our completion, as we cross into the New Millennium,
fully cognizant of our sovereignty and divinity.
I invite you to join me on this journey of 100 days - to fully
appreciate each day and to complete the transformation that your heart
desires. To prepare for this quest, we begin with a tabula rasa, a
blank page.
0
zero
empty
nothing
a blank page
an empty canvas
the balanced sheet
learning the value of nothing
out of nothing everything begins
and yet we fear having nothing
having nothing what do we fear
letting go into nothingness
releasing our sense of self
our separateness
our individuality
our ego
being
one
drop
in
the ocean
of eternity
