SOUL

SOUL

Soul is quality

Not quantity

Free will is not about chosing

left or right

It is about chosing creation

or destruction

with all of ones being

The world of bodies and the world of spirit, these are two sufi terms that I have fallen in love with. I am reading a book by J.G. Bennett, where these are explained in terms of land and ocean. The land and the sea are separate but there is the seashore where they are able to touch eachother. When I read this I was at a beach with my wonderful wife and some friends, and it resonated deep inside me. All knowledge about all things is present everywhere around us. Our work must be to "tune our instrument" so that we can receive the frequencies upon which this knowledge rides.

From the seashore,

Rant...

I just reaslied today... I have to do something for this planet! Have you taken a few minutes to look around, and see what's going on? I remember almost 20 years ago, I was interviewed on TV, and I said that I was really, really concerned with the environment and saving the rainforest. I guess I haven't really spent 10 minutes since then, actually doing something to transform my thoughts back then into action. Have you had similar experiences? I think it's time to look at our priorities. Okay, everything costs money! Travelling, living, doing... nothing's free, only thinking's free (is it?)! This world is so beautiful, and it gives so generously of itself. We kill it, yet it does not exact revenge, because vengefulness is not a feeling it is capable of. I wish we were as accomplished!

Anyway, that's my rant for today.

Paz,
Bard
