Being beyond dogma: tracking Truth
“Reader of Signs: the ‘Message’ The ‘message’ was delivered to me by a large woman with a mop of dark red, wavy hair, who had been asked at the last moment to ‘fill-in’ for someone else at the workshop held at the University of South Australia. She was, it turned out, a ‘Tarot Card reader’, … Continue reading Spiritual Autobiography 1: India
“… there is no such thing as a little falsehood: even a trifle of it turns truth into a lie…” “… even an incomplete truth is tantamount to a lie, for falsehood is not the opposite of truth but its absence.” “… Creation depends on Truth…Truth is so potent that it will prevail and flourish … Continue reading The “Writing On The Wall”: From Stone to Flesh and Back Again
Recently my eldest sister died. It was not unexpected except in the usual way that death is always unexpected when it “arrives”. She lived on the other side of the planet in the beautiful landscapes of Switzerland, to which she had returned after many years “Down Under” here in Australia. She was old, in her … Continue reading On Death and Dying 4: Death Is Not The Opposite To Life
What’s in a word? Why does it still surprise me to find myself waking with a “word” resonating through me such that I must explore its origin and/or deeper meaning? Recall, “In the Beginning was the Word” from the [experience] “The Dream that changed my life” [Blogged 2018] and/or the “Lychegate” experience [I think also … Continue reading Which Way is Up? : Words, Windows, Portals, and Doorways on the Path of Return
If one were to trace a “Timeline” or “Songline” to make coherent one’s life, what would it look like? * Recently I have been reflecting/meditating on specific events, often from dream experiences, but not always, which seem to demonstrate a central or, perhaps, centripetal process opening new possibilities, directions, whilst, at one and the same … Continue reading Timelines, Songlines, and Other Dreamings:2
Dreams and Insights Last night another long dream sequence as the previous night. We are following a theme, unfolding like a text to be comprehended in terms of the ‘Path Home’. This one involved both ‘cleaning-up’ (one’s mess) prior to “leaving” [lots to do, not enough time or energy to do ‘it’ (all? – some?)]. … Continue reading On Death and Dying (and the bits in-between)
Matty’s end is near. If I could fix him by taking his condition on myself, I would do it in a flash. Unfortunately it seems not to be allowed, so I must watch him suffer some more before he is able to let go. Both Mama Mia - the old matriarch - and her sister … Continue reading In Memoriam: For Matty*
Truth needs no defence. It is always “Itself” in whatever ‘guise’ we may find it: Stillness in change, Change in stillness. It cannot be damaged. We need it. It does not need us, or not, at least, in the same fashion. Our activity in this world can [potentially at least - in so far as … Continue reading “Truth and Relativity: Explorations into Insight 3”
Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Straight people are warned this story may contain pictures and names of people who have passed away. It couldn’t last, could it. After almost ‘normality’ for a year, we were shifting again, this time by choice, after I applied for and won a position as Head Teacher (Principal) of a school … Continue reading Spiritual Autobiography 17: Ti Tree 2
On Nostalgia – ‘A sickness unto death’ Where is the “Place,” the one that causes such deep longing for some lost “home” and why does one seek to return to it such that – once discerned – nothing less will satisfy the heart?’ I first became away, or rather felt this “longing” burst upon me … Continue reading Lost and Found: On a Road to Somewhere
