Woke up this morning with the following going on in my head: *Circumstance … *Co-Incidence … “Happenstance” … *Synchronicity On a Path – any path (but particularly the “Path of Return”) – Life for everyone and everything is in a constant state of movement (thus change). In a sense then we all travel by … Continue reading The Long Road to “Synchronicity”

The “Writing On The Wall”: From Stone to Flesh and Back Again
“… 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
Which Way is Up? : Words, Windows, Portals, and Doorways on the Path of Return
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
Timelines, Songlines, and Other Dreamings:2
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
On Death and Dying (and the bits in-between)
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)
“Truth and Relativity: Explorations into Insight 3”
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”
Spiritual Autobiography 17: Ti Tree 2
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
Lost and Found: On a Road to Somewhere
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
Change and Stability: The “Meeting Place”
According to Laleh Bakhtiar (Sufi: Expressions of the Mystic Quest, pp98-99) change (Talwin) indicates ‘…an alternating transition from one ‘state’ to another, whereas stability (Tamkin) is the act of enduring, stability, [and] symmetry… . ‘The beginning of love is search’ the Sufi says, ‘but the end is rest.’ Stability and symmetry are the removal of … Continue reading Change and Stability: The “Meeting Place”
The Devil is in the Details: On the Problem of Evil
Prefix: This is a deeply disturbing but equally rewarding topic and I found myself at times wishing not to have begun to interact with it. However, despite my misgivings, and the difficulties coming to grips with the subject, in the end, I found it to be worth the time taken because - after all - … Continue reading The Devil is in the Details: On the Problem of Evil
