"The classical soft distinction between exquisite and elegance never asks to be argued about. The two characteristics need only be held gently in awe as if the sunrise of morning is as important as the sunset in the evening." - Gregory E.

It needs to be said again, "Light changes the dark. Darkness shies from light and enlightenment expands the universe similar to the way choice changes life forces. The truth pushes lies into the dark and shadows we all have can become foes or allies. Death can become an ally. Ideals can be simplified by living the words, and truth can be embodied by anyone seeking their truths. Our authentic selves sought the way a child reaches against all odds for an unreachable toy on a table is the deepest commitment.  

It needs to be said again, "The power of Life and Death is in the tongue. It is not what goes into a man that defiles him, it is what comes out that defiles the man!"

When women like, Celeste Morgan, say, "There is an unnatural force feeding on fear and hate." we are in the times to reflect and not think like men of war, but feel what Women of the Womb have to say about Life and Death and the continuation of Life upon the Earth, our Mother. ~ Gregory E.

GAZE WITH WONDER!!

DEBRA GIBSON
POETESS, COMPOSER, SINGER & LIGHT WORKER

"Cast your eyes not upon the vastness of the ocean or the luminosity of the night sky unless you also gaze with wonder at the limitless capacity of the love in your own heart and the potential clarity and brightness of your own mind." ~ Debra Gibson 

BE FREE (My wish for YOU)

Would you give everything, like me, to find

Peaceful stillness of a silent mind?

Not just a glimpse, a fleeting moment

But for all lifetimes

To abide in truth and peace

Every moment to be free

Never again to be confined

Or bound up in the prison of an angered mind?

 I have sat at the feet of enlightened ones

And I’ve seen how they’ve overcome

All obstacles and delusions

Transformed the confusions

That seem to encapsulate me

And how I long to be free

How I want us all to be free!

There’s no peace to be found in a life

Tormented by your own mind

For, how you think is what you’ll be

And I know there’s a possibility

Not just for you but also for me

The truth is within us all

Love and peace preside

Inside everyone’s heart and mind

We just need to remove the dirt

Let it settle and find clarity

And then peace will naturally

Unfold within us all

Like a flower to a bee

Just open our heart and mind

Feel the connections between all  that we find

And there lies peace, how to “be”

It’s in every speck of dust underneath our feet

In the wind blowing through the trees

And every blade of grass underneath those trees

Are like you and me, longing to reach and be free

Reach out to be free

The connection between you and me

Is far greater than the sum of our parts

That are dividing the very heart

Of this Earth

Of our being

Our seeing

Believing in the common truth

When you feel love you have the proof

That we can all be free

Of the confines of our mind that determine reality

Because it’s all just an illusion

That we perpetuate with our delusions

With wisdom and clarity

We can see it all more clearly

We can free our minds

And open our hearts

Now is the time to make the start

To walk this path hand in hand

Together may we understand

That we are all here as one

A united family of love

Longing to reach out beyond them and you and me

Let us all reach out toward love and peace

All reach out and be free

Be free! Be free! Be free!

DRIVE ALL BLAME INTO ONE

DEBRA GIBSON

Banish the One Object of Every Blame.

“Whenever any difficulty or trouble arises we usually blame it on some other person or object… However, it is entirely incorrect to blame someone else because the true enemy deserving this blame is the self-cherishing attitude which we have always had within us.

We consider ourselves to be very precious and important, and such attachment and dedication lead each of us to commit many unskillful deeds aimed solely at bringing us temporal pleasure and comfort. When we do not possess something we desire or when danger threatens something to which we are attached, we react with aggression and selfishness. By acting in such a self-centered way, we accumulate negative karmic propensities that will arise later as misery.

In our present situation as human beings born into the era of degeneration, most of us have accumulated strong adverse imprints on our streams of consciousness and thus have many karmic debts to pay. We must recognize that all our faults and problems are actually within us. The principal cause of them is the ignorant self-cherishing attitude that narrows our attention to only one person: our own self. When we feel uncomfortable from even a slight thirst or discomfort in the heat, our self-centered attitude desiring immediate relief from this annoyance leads us to crave a cold drink. Yet our self-cherishing attitude - the enemy - allows us time for only brief and comparatively unsympathetic thoughts for the numberless beings who have greater misfortunes than we.

The accumulation of karmic debts that we owe other beings can be terminated either through intensive meditation or by our own acceptance of the fruit of such debts.

We should view any person who appears to be harming us as an intermediary who, in causing us difficulty, frees us from a more serious ripening of our past unskillful actions. In such situations those who harm us are, in reality, our benefactors. We should constantly remember their kindness in showing us, as our spiritual teacher does, that the burdens heaped on us are actually the results of our own actions. For instance, if we had a debt and our creditor told us that to cancel it we need take only a slap in the face, we would see this person as kind for letting us off lightly. In the same way, harms inflicted by others help us eliminate karmic debts that may otherwise ripen in more serious ways.

Therefore, the true object that we must recognize as our greatest enemy, deserving all the blame for any misery we may experience, is the self-cherishing attitude we hold within us. In addition, we should always remember the kindness of other beings, whatever their character may be. Whether they appear to be harming or aiding us, they are always assisting us in the elimination of accumulated karmic debts. Never think that this is merely a pleasing or euphemistic way of interpreting events, for this is the actual way things are.”

"My spiritual responsibility in the aftermath of the planes striking in Washington DC, Pennsylvania, and New York city began within half of an hour after the attack. I had to prepare sacred space for every person who passed through my work area, or came into my presence for weeks on end. I knew how, and I was prepared within the breath of taking it all in on television. What is your spiritual responsibility now in any area of your life?"- Gregory E. Woods (Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha)
