Some of my finest hours have been spent sitting on my back verandah, smoking hemp and observing as far as the eye can see.

~ Thomas Jefferson ~

Snope's say this quote isn't true or proven, howvever there are various diary entries by Thomas Jefferson where he refers to sorting out of the male and female hemp plants.  This plant has so many uses indeed and there is no reason why he wouldn't have a choof if he was a smoker.   His sorting of the plants is key to this statement being seen as true.

My Thoughts combine with the love in my Heart,

Divine hearts awaken. 

Fear is transmuted. 

Life emerges.

Wings unfurled.

It is as I desire.

I breathed it into being!

Light it up with my soul!

The time is now!

A dream that you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

~ John Lennon ~

 

The dreams are what they are... dreams.  We have an opportunity to make those dreams come true if we put our minds to this.  I am not a pushy person,  I will never crash my kids lives to simply say hello.  My desires are not that important, and especially  if my sheer presence in their lives  hurts them this much.   I will sit with what happiness I have managed to salvage from my life as their mother and know that this is what I asked for such a long time ago. 

I said I don't care if they hate me, I said a whole bunch of things as  I just want to experience motherhood.  I would have made a deal with the devil himself if it meant there was a child or children at the other end of it..... and I said this after five years of traversing the IVF Program.  I did IVF to have children because it was apparent this was not going to be easy to conceive.  

I don't know why I said this out to the universe other than perhaps if they were IVF Babies they may have thought they were strange down the track later in life.   Little did I ever contemplate they would think I was the one who was just strange and they thought of me as horrid full stop and not worth being rated as a human.  There father used to say in front of them every day I was not worth it and I guess somehow they took this on inside of their souls and its there for life now and he is worthy and I am not.

My heart  breaks daily and daily I pick up the pieces and I duly force them back together so the world can deal with my heartbreaks.  It looks alright.  It may not actually be alright but hey, as longs as the world thinks its alright then my kids are going to be alright.   They worry what people think of them even knowing me.  How do they think they got into this world... I loved them and wanted them more than air.

I just fucking miss them like that air we breath now and I am sorry for swearing but my heart is hurting and my soul is crying.  I am just so sorry .... Ho Oponopono.   I try to find that big reason each day that  all of this is happening. 

Yesterday after much thought and meditation I saw a bright light over the situation .....I think the lesson is for them and not for me.  That would be a very different perspective in fact for all to contemplate that are tied up with all of the knots of contention!

 Sometimes tears help to wash away the pain and it certainly alerts mothers to their children's pain and when there are tears there is serious business going on.  This doesn't seem to change no matter how old you are.

When a person forgets the blessings they have around them in their daily life and only concentrates on the bad that is around them, that is all that will be evident to them. They miss the good and they only see the bad. 

There is always a balance of good and bad going on for everyone I feel, and then it is up to us how we deal with this and what we make of it or what we think about it.

By remembering the blessings, this brings more energy back around to these and makes these live and makes them fruitful and beautiful and it starts to happen quickly. 

If we only think of the bad then the bad is what we have.  Life is amazing like this and I am so glad that there is justice with our own thoughts.

I knew a Wise Woman

A Glenugie Wise Woman

"I knew a Wise Woman
And she said to me
That the river would mold me
And the wild wind would cool me
That the trickster the coyote He would fool me
That father Sun would warm me
Mother Earth would clothe me
Grandmother Moon would greet me
And of the old ways she would teach me
 
Wise woman, she told me
To always walk lightly
Tread the Earth ever gently
Lovingly so preciously
And take from her sparingly
She said, to share with others
What you have learned from me
Be still and breathe, ever patiently
For the web of life
Has woven what is to be
But you must still chose
Your own path, you will see
 
And lastly, the Wise Woman said to me
To listen to the Wise one
That dwells within me
To walk my path in balance
Is too be free
More than just words
So mote it be"...

The truth has commenced destroying the filthy Csg Mining industry, the industry of death the government's  are trying to roll out across the country and many switched on people are spending their time and money fighting this.

 Other Australians are sitting up to weekends of beer and battered sausages and football fights,  while others are fighting for their very lives inside of  Australia.   The cities just keep on going like nothing ever happened.

The greed that drives this is simply evil and not necessary no matter how much they want to argue.  Greater men with greater arguments than mine have proven this many times.

PASSION - 1 giant Leap

Last night I went to sleep as a child.
Only to wake up this morning and find I was a man.
In my hands I discovered the tools and the rage of my father,
And in my heart I found the love and the fears of my mother.

Confrontation between the night and day.
The land of the sea.
The fire and the air,
the sacred and the profound.
The holy and the unholy,
the focused and the miss directed.
The bullet and the flesh.
The mind and the spirit and the sound when you hear it.
The oppressor and the resistor,
the brother and the sister.
We are not walking with the ghosts of the dead.
We are alive with the spirit of our passion.

We are not walking with the ghosts of the dead.
We are alive with the spirit of our passion.

Myself, Ingo and Stewie at Tara

The planet is what I love.  I wish I didn't have to fight so hard because I wish to enjoy her space but I love the fact that us guys (humanity) and the planet are connected.    Therefore I must stand up for the planet where ever possible. I need to tell others what wonderful things are happening for us to be able to love the mother earth the way we need to love the mother Earth. 

Very similar to  a person (being) the Earth is the same and there are good times and bad times and times of being not well and times of great health.

I remember when I wanted to leave my marriage for years and for the life of me I just didn't know how to do that and no matter how many times I contemplated this,  it was never any easier.  I am still not good at walking away, but I am a little more practiced these days.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.

 ~ Rumi ~

Nothing can separate a  mother from her children no matter what.  It is an invisible bond that is never
severed and lives on for eternity.

 I most assuredly love this one in the image.  She is never out of my heart and I like to think I can still feel hers beat with in me from the time that her heart did beat inside of my body, when she was a tiny being growing to become this most wonderful human being.  I am still in awe every day.

"A Film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet".

   ~ Orson Wells ~

Cliff Side Dawn at Hungry Head NSW

"A poet makes himself a visionary through a long, boundless, and systematized disorganization of all the senses. All forms of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he exhausts within himself all poisons, and preserves their quintessences.

Unspeakable torment, where he will need the greatest faith, a superhuman strength, where he becomes all men: the great invalid, the great criminal, the great accursed—and the Supreme Scientist! For he attains the unknown!

 Because he has cultivated his soul, already rich, more than anyone! He attains the unknown, and, if demented, he finally loses the understanding of his visions, he will at least have seen them!

So what if he is destroyed in his ecstatic flight through things unheard of, unnameable: other horrible workers will come; they will begin at the horizons where the first one has fallen!"
Arthur Rimbaud  (French poet)

"Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence"

 ~ Osho ~

Essential Equipment

Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and valuable is created (such as an idea, a joke, a literary work, a painting or musical composition, a solution, an invention etc.).

It is also the qualitative impetus behind any given act of creation, and it is generally perceived to be associated with intelligence and cognition.

The range of scholarly interest in creativity includes a multitude of definitions and approaches involving several disciplines; psychology, cognitive science, education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of science), technology, theology, sociology, linguistics, business studies, and economics, taking in the relationship between creativity and general intelligence, mental and neurological processes associated with creativity, the relationships between personality type and creative ability and between creativity and mental health, the potential for fostering creativity through education and training, especially as augmented by technology, and the application of creative resources to improve the effectiveness of learning and teaching processes.

Sunrise sheds light on the World

Truth is most often used to mean in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal.

The opposite of truth is falsehood, which, correspondingly, can also take on a logical, factual, or ethical meaning. The concept of truth is discussed and debated in several contexts, including philosophy and religion.

Many human activities depend upon the concept, which is assumed rather than a subject of discussion, including science, law, and everyday life.

“Nothing escapes the Principle of Cause and Effect, but there are many Planes of Causation, and one may use the laws of the higher to overcome the laws of the lower.“

The Kybalion.

Stars

Lately I have decided that I go where my thoughts go.  Therefore its amazing to go to the stars.  Just to sit under these stars and to contemplate them means your mind has traversed the far reaches of the galaxy.

I went through it with Montana the other day.  We sat together and closed our eyes and we visualized Jesse and held him in our minds for a minute and we pictured him saying hello to us. 

Now that all sounds a little kooky, but the thing is this is where it starts.  If you understand these principals you will understand the power the church says they have using prayer.  Prayer is great but its not because Yeshua was killed on a cross.   Our holy spirit that they speak of is our "Merkaba" we generate around us because we are governed by magnetism and electricity and we are continually vibrating and therefore resonating a frequency out from ourselves.  What does this?  Is this our spirit?

But we cannot escape Law or rise above it entirely.

The Divine Paradox ( Chapter IV) Kybalion

"Nothing but THE ALL can escape Law–and that is because THE ALL is LAW itself, from which all Laws emerge. "

Jacaranda trees with all of its friends growing in Bellingen NSW

I have a paradoxical situation around Bellingen,  It is seen to be beautiful and pretty but it is cursed because of the atrocities committed close by in this area against woman.  This was a healing place and it was desecrated and so the law of Karma is in action here in a strong way.  It is hard for anyone to even want to contemplate that this place is cursed as such.  This is the Paradox.

What Hermetists know as “the Law of Paradox” is an aspect of the 'Principle of Polarity'. The Hermetic writings are filled with references to the appearance of the Paradox in the consideration of the problems of Life and Being.

THE DIVINE PARADOX

“The half-wise, recognizing the comparative unreality of the Universe, imagine that they may defy its Laws–

such are vain and presumptuous fools, and they are broken against the rocks and torn asunder by the elements by reason of their folly. The truly wise, knowing the nature of the Universe, use Law against laws; the higher against the lower; and by the Art of Alchemy transmute that which is undesirable into that which is worthy, and thus triumph. Mastery consists not in abnormal dreams, visions and fantastic imaginings or living, but in using the higher forces against the lower–escaping the pains of the lower planes by vibrating on the higher. Transmutation, not presumptuous denial, is the weapon of the Master.”– The Kybalion

This is the Paradox of the Universe, resulting from the Principle of Polarity which

manifests when THE ALL begins to Create–hearken to it for it points  out the difference between

half-wisdom and wisdom.

 The Teachers are constantly warning their students against the error of omitting the “other side” of any question. And their warnings are particularly directed to the problems of the Absolute and the Relative, which perplex all students of philosophy, and which cause so many to think and act contrary to what is generally known as “common sense.” And we caution all students to be sure to grasp the Divine Paradox of the Absolute and Relative, lest they become entangled in the mire of the Half-Truth. With this in view this particular lesson has been written.

PARADOX ~ [from Late Latin paradoxum, from Greek paradoxos opposed to existing notions, from para- + doxa opinion]

[Latin paradoxum, from Greek paradoxon, from neuter sing. of paradoxos, conflicting with expectation : para-, beyond; see para- + doxa, opinion.]

Spirals in the water at URUNGA NSW as the light comes at dawn.

There is no doubts that as we journey through life there are many painful twists and turns to negotiate.  I learned a long long time ago to not run and hide but to face up and tell them to bring it on.  This is the result of being a "government kid".

If they didn't want me to think this way then why did they allow so many people to abuse so many young people that had no recourse.  I witnessed this and was subject to this myself and I will never trust them.  How is this possible.  I must not throw my pearls in front of slimy swine.

If you don't understand how the universe works, it is my opinion that you will miss much and I think this is what Ptolemy is saying in this quote below.  He knows what its like to stand in the presence of the ALL.

PTOLEMY said this  “I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia”

All the gold is on the inside of us all, we are part of the mind of the all that holds this universe together.   As we simply think with our minds about a painting and we visualize it in its entirety and hold the image in our mind such is the mind of the All.  The Universe is Mental - Held in the Mind of the All.
