The Compassion of the Cobra

The Peace that I share comes from the internal knowledge that there is a Creator God, whose Wisdom and Word created All Life.  With that understanding I try to Respect All Life, knowing that in doing so, I share the Harmony of the Creator God's Wisdom and show Love for the Oneness of the Universe. As far as understanding Compassion, I learned about Compassion from the physical manifestation of the Spirit of Compassion, that the Creator gave form to and the purpose to hold that teaching for All of the Children of Earth. That Spirit and Being of Compassion is the Great Teacher, the Cobra.  The Cobra teaches Compassion in a number of Ways.  One Way that demonstrates Compassion is seen in the Way the Cobra takes a Life, to quickly end Suffering, as He was given the Purpose to.  He will in Compassion take the life of the One causing suffering to others or he will take the life of One that suffers, to keep them from suffering further pain.  The 12 Species of Cobra, symbolically represent the sides and order of a Sacred Mountain and have as it’s Head the largest of the Family, the King Cobra. They are intelligent, curious, and deadly: symbolizing Wisdom (yellow), Healing (olive), Respect and Power (black/brown and orange).

They are normally very Peaceful beings, yet when provoked they will get very angry.  Should the subject of their derision continue to disrespect others or the King Cobra, they will spread their Hood, making themselves appear larger than normal, extended a warning of the Power they have been given over others, shown through this gesture.  They do this while pushing their hidden energy through their thoughts, moving it confidently through telepathic waves outward as they say that they hold no Fear, as they come instantly into Super Awareness, as seen in their staring eyes.  They assess everything in their surroundings in an instant, and will make moves to intimidate the object of their anger, arching their neck to stillness once the assessment is complete.  By the Time of their thrust and strike, when the King, finally bites, it has already Judged it’s prey, and instinctively knows exactly how much of it’s venom, it will let go, to it’s antagonizer.  This is the Gift of Compassion it was given to share in Judgment.  For in the holding of Compassion, they have weighed their prey on their Internal Scales.  Through their Love for All Life, they will not allow One to suffer, nor allow them to cause Other’s suffering.  So, in the Spirit of Compassion, they may take One’s Life, or they will allow them to suffer a smaller form of Judgment, through Karma as they are left to Think through their actions, as they lay in their Healing Bed. They normally will only eat other Snakes, but have been given the Gift of Judgment, by the Creator God over All Life. The King Cobra is so powerful that they can kill an Elephant with one bite. Yet, Compassionately, they can bite gently enough to let a Human live.   

The Great Serpent Muchalinda taught another form of Compassion, the Compassion of Protection. Peace!

Love Always & Live Forever!

Spiritual Diplomacy and Colours of Love

One of my favourite activities as a young Child, was colouring pictures. I loved the idea that I could make a paper come alive from the vast choice of colour from my crayons. As I grew older that love increased as I came to learn about geography, history, and science. When I discovered the vast diversity of cultures, I learned to love the Earth and every living Being, and the wonder of colour increased. I was amazed that the World held so many Wonders!

My wonder exploded as I learned about the diversity in lifestyles, regalia, belief-systems, and cultures. Later I learn of famous People's that were Explorers, Scouts, Dignitaries, Chieftains, Kings and Queens, Individuals, Tribes, and Nations that for various reasons surpassed Cultural Barriers forging Friendships and New Paths. I learned of Diplomatic, Religious, Spiritual and Cultural Ceremonies. I also learned of horrifying stories of exploitation, greed, pain and wars. I learned that all these things happened on the Small Planet, Earth; the World that I shared with Billions.

Think about it! We share this place we call Home, with Billions of other Beings. Billions of Beings that are Human, almost 7 Billion! And then we share with other Kingdoms; Mineral, Plant, Insect, Star, Swimming, Flying and Animal Peoples. We share and depend on each Other for Everything in Life! And as I was taught and continue to learn, all we have to do is Respect Life and Love!

As a Child, and as an Adult we are to Walk in Love! This seems easy to me. I walk with an open Heart and a broad Mind.

I love the different People's I meet. I do not expect nor want them to be "just like me"! I do not want nor expect them to believe, worship, or wear the same fashion of clothes or cultural symbols like me. I relish    Learning about their differences! I want to explore the Cultural differences, in their Appearance, Homes, Stores, Ceremonies, in their Communities, and if I ever get to travel, in their Countries. I love the Festivals and the  Foods, Symbols, Souvenirs, and Religious Icons I get to learn about. I want to teach my Great Grand Children about this amazing Earth and the small Worlds we Share with others. I want to do that in Love and Respect. I want the Freedom to Move, Think, Share and Care, for All the People that The Lord and God, I Love, Created! And I believe that Others want the same rights, so they too, can teach their Great Grand Children, in Freedom and Love also.

I hope We do not want to paint the World Gray and have every One painted in Same. How boring.

I Love the Colours and Diversity of Life! I would like to see All of Humanity paint the World in the Harmonious Colours of Love and Peace. We can come together in Oneness and Celebrate our Differences.

Peace. All My Relations!

Spirit of the Butterfly

The Great Spirit of the Butterfly

The Butterfly teaches about Freedom and Victory. The butterfly teaches that we are to grow greater and make life more beautiful because our passing.

This is a spiritual writing and is meant to be read a minimum of four times. This is only a partial teaching of the wisdom of the Butterfly.

Butterflies That Flutter Bye

Until human beings accept they are spirits that live forever, they will never know what victory or freedom is. The butterfly is the symbol of freedom and are the wings of victory. The butterfly chooses to be born twice in one lifetime and lives two complete lives. In this way butterflies illustrate that you live forever and life is continual. 

The physical aspects and forms of the butterfly teaches you the meaning of metamorphosis during the four stages of it's life. Metamorphosis is the more than physical change that happens between the stages of caterpillar and butterfly. During it's first life, an egg hatches and the larva is born growing into a pubescent caterpillar. As an earthbound creature, the caterpillar crawls along the ground. After the completion of it's life as a caterpillar, a great change will occur. The caterpillar larva will begin to weave and an entire new life will begin. 

The caterpillar encases itself in a chrysalis that becomes a chamber for it's metamorphosis into a butterfly. The caterpillar knowingly chooses to die. It knows that change is a simple part of life, necessary in order that one may grow greater. So willingly the caterpillar pupae builds the chrysalis and it's first life comes to an end. Much like a teenage boy becoming a man or teenage girl becoming a woman, not only do they have to change physically, leaving childhood behind, they have to go through a spiritual change through the exceptance of a conviction to fulfil their destiny. In this chrysalis the pupae, much like the pupil/ pupal(male or female) in transition, must choose to be transformed. When metamorphosis is complete, a beautiful being emerges reborn and fully winged, signifying it's elevation as a spirit, beginning it's new life as a butterfly, it flies! Elevated through flight, the butterfly knows, it is free of the bonds of Earth. 

Being bound to Earth, you exist throughout time and in time (rhythm). You cause the future and are the future of all living things. The acceptance of this responsibility, would make you beautiful in being and Godlike in oneness. You are given the will to carry out your conviction and attain your purpose. You like the Butterfly must choose. Allow your ego self to die, in order to become the spirit you are meant to be. Once you start to live your convictions, fulfilling your purpose, surrendering every part of your former life, you are no longer bound to the material world. You emerge a greater being, choosing to enter the spirit world of the Creator. You like the Butterfly are free! 

There are colours and designs on the wings of the butterfly. The colours are their convictions and the designs are their purpose, which they carry victoriously for all to see. The wings carry circles and dots, referred to as extra "eyes". They were given these marks to tell you they are "eyes of God". The eyes are symbols used throughout the world to indicate the Great Spirit of the Creator, and seeing that these beings are marked by God, everyone knows that all should treat them with the utmost respect. The eyes are known as the "windows to the soul", so seeing these great spirits, marked by God with extra eyes, tells you that the teachings they carry on their wings will be important to your soul. 

Each time butterflies flap their colourful wings, as they begin to soar into the air, they leave a sign of their passing. Tiny flecks of "scale wings" drop off, reflecting different colours, leaving a trail of iridescent light behind. This shedding of prismatic scales helps the butterfly when caught in a predator's web. The Creator provides perfect protection for all of His Children, when they choose to act in a good and right manner. As the Butterfly shakes their scales of justice, they slip out of their enemies grasp and fly off on their wings of victory! 

To know freedom you must know that you live forever. You have lived since the Creator first thought you into existence. Your spirit was then born through the Earth, your first and true Mother, who provided you with a body for your Spirit, to flow through. You are not some body, you are some one. A spirit flowing through a body. One spirit that belongs to the whole body, of Oneness. Being a Spirit, you know you take after your Father, the Creator God, who lives forever. He made you in His image, so like Him, you live forever. You do not die.

It is said that when a butterfly flaps its wings, it sends a wave that is felt around the world and throughout the Universe. This indicates that you are time and through the use of time as your guide, you should understand that whatever you do in this lifetime will reverberate throughout time, multiplying through time. The Butterfly’s wings are shaped in the form of an hourglass, indicating Time. In flight, their wings rotate in a figure eight pattern, or symbol of infinity. Combined they indicate infinite time. The butterfly teaches you that you are the future, for you cause the future. Not only for yourself but for all living things. When you think, you physically manifest your thoughts and they make your world. What is in your heart, in your mind, and in your soul, becomes your world. Your world becomes the world we all share in. All your thoughts, become words that are attached to your heart. These 'heart thoughts' create all your actions and reactions. Then the heart thoughts grow, becoming your world and the world we all share in. Holding sacred thoughts, given power through your word, will manifest Heaven on Earth. 

The butterfly also shows you that you have nothing to be sorry for, should you carry out the purpose and convictions the Creator gave you in all of your lifetimes, for there is 'Beauty in Passing'. You are reminded of this when the Butterfly flutters by/bye. The passing of a being from this world to the next should be viewed as a thing of beauty and celebration. For in one being, becoming greater, we all grow greater. You never die. Death is a transformation process. When loved ones pass, should you cry longer than the allotted mourning days, you are telling the Creator that you do not believe that you live forever and that you are not His Child. 

The bereavement time is called Mourning, to remind you of the new life dawning, in the Morning of the next World. When you look at the beauty of the setting sun, you are seeing the morning sun of the next world and the morning sun of our relations on the other side of the world. For in this way, we can see the circle of life. The beauty you see at sunrise, is to remind you during Mourning, that Morning, is the time you wake up and the dawning of a new life. When you cry too long, you are crying for yourself, for your lack of faith and understanding caused by your separation from the Creator God. 

Butterflies are wandering spirits. Migration shows you that one Butterfly has the same conviction and destiny as millions of other Butterflies. They are one of a kind. This is their kind and they are one of them. 

Not all butterflies complete the life journey successfully. Being a Great Spirit, they know the importance of the will of their species to fulfil their destiny for the Creator God. They have oneness in purpose and their individual lives are not lived just for themselves, but for the greater good of all. The Great Spirit of the Butterfly teaches Humans that whatever you teach your children in this lifetime, awaits you in your next lifetime. If you concentrate on the individual I, you will become blind to the whole. Like the butterfly, wherever you stop, you too should make everything more beautiful because of your passing. Life is continual and you never die. Like the Butterfly, you will receive a new body in the next life, for your spirit to flow through. You will be transformed and made new! 

To many Peoples throughout the World the Butterfly has long represented, eternal love. God's eternal love for us. The next time you watch a Butterfly flutter by/bye, remember how much the Creator loves all His Children, and like the butterfly you will fly in freedom and victory. 

May you also fly in beauty.

In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning seasons may I walk
Beautiful will I possess again
Beautiful birds, joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk
With dew about my feet may I walk
With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty behind me may I walk
With beauty above me may I walk
With beauty all around me may I walk
With beauty all around me may I walkIn old age wondering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk
All is finished in beauty, All is finished in Beauty.

Love is Active!

Quote: "Pity me the Heart that is slow to learn,

What the quick Mind sees at every turn." by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Love is Active. People cause that which they assess (think) with their Minds as good, and hold in their Hearts as truth, to become a part of their world through their Actions. That which they believe to be Good and True, matters to their Hearts and Minds, and dictates the Kindness of the Actions they use, to bring Love and Dreams into existence as a integral part of their world. Should that which they perceive to be Good prove evil and that which they hold to be Truth prove to be a lie, they will feel betrayed by their senses. Feeling inept and confused they strike out in anger and despair, destroying the world they once saw as Beautiful. The violence of their actions dissipates their rage, quelling their despair. All that was of Peace and Harmony now lays in a shambles before them. 

Emotions are negative concepts, derived from misinformation regarding their relationship to Love, Light and Understanding. Emotions are not feelings because they are the product of misinforming the senses with concepts, contradictory to Feelings. Desire rules the emotionally inept. Desire has a constant need for External gratification. This need grows like all things on Earth and eventually becomes Addiction if given Free Reign. Before this happens there is a conscious point of Choice. If they like Lying to themselves to uphold the wrongs of their World they will take Action to find like minded companions that share their falsehoods, telling each other that they are in the right, and those that have a different view are the enemy. This can grow to the idea that anyone opposing their particular view needs to be destroyed. At this time, the illusion they share in becomes more concrete and they willingly become the participants of further destruction in their lives and the lives of others. This is the ultimate of Self Gratification, Selfishness, and Stagnation.

Calming down, they return to their senses, turning Inward to think, swearing they will never be as naïve or weak again. With contemplation and meditation they may realize that negative behavior and emotion is a reaction to a profusion of feelings evoked by outside influences contrary to Truth, Love and Light. Once again they are brought to a moment of Choice. They may come to the point of wanting to correct their thoughts and relearning how to be Mindful. The Mind in Truth knows that Hate is not the opposite of Love, it is contrary or contradictory to Love. 

Love is stronger than fear or hatred together. Love is demonstrated through Action. If they choose to seek to correct themselves they will take steps and advice on how to change the negative behavior and will admit to themselves they need to be Truthful. This step leads to Self Control. This Action would take Courage, Honesty and Bravery. This one step may mean you'll walk away from the familiar and comfort of Illusion to seek new supports. When one Loves themselves they choose to act in Respect and Dignity for themelves and this pours over Others. Choosing to go to treatment, conselling, therepy shows that Independence is initiated. This Action leads to personal growth, and brings Hope to themselves and others. When One makes a positive Change it ripples out in many directions and changes the entire Earth. All Life benefits. When one Loves their Heart opens and they care what happens to EveryOne everywhere. 

We naturally want to be Happy. Illusion can never bring happiness. True Happiness is the result of knowing the Love you Share is a reflection of Love shining back at you. One Heart has the power to make a billion Hearts shine, and more as it just keeps growing. Everything in Life was designed to grow greater in Love. Love is forever Active. What matters to your Heart and Mind becomes your World and everyOnes Future. All my Relations! Peace.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

You are One.

Like One drop of Water in an Ocean.

The Ocean is made up of Billions of other Ones making Up the full body of Water known as the Ocean of Oneness. Water is a form of Consciousness. Water is Sacred to Life. Water is Life.

In Life We share in Oneness. To Live in Harmony in the Oneness of Life is a worthy pursuit. To Live a Life of Love and Peace with All Oneness is the Highest Form of Consciousness and Oneness.

Today many are struggling to Understand how to Survive and Live a Good Life in a Time that seems fraught with Trials, Temptations, and Tribulations.

Spiritual Teachings are food for those that are on a Path to Enlightenment.

So this Analogy may help You to find Your way.

Imagine the You, you are, as that One drop of Water pulled out of the Ocean of Oneness. If you were never lifted and separated from the Body of Oneness, you would never know how Special and Sacred You are. Only in realizing that you are One Drop of Water can You appreciate your Uniqueness and Your Equality with All the Others, All the other Drops of Water in the Ocean of Oneness.

Now Imagine the Ocean of Oneness as a Pot of Water. You too are in the Pot of water as the One Drop making up the Whole; the whole Body of Oneness and the whole Body of Water.

You are still the Unique and Equal drop of Water that you have Always been. As are All the Other Drops in the Pot or Body of Oneness.

Then some Unknown Force (lets call that Force; the Cook) turns on the Elements under the Pot, slowly heating the Water.

At first many of the Drops of Oneness feel little. Life in the Pot of Oneness is perfectly fine. Soon though a few Drops start to the Heat. Not knowing what is causing them to become uncomfortable. They become agitated. They soon begin to shift in their form, expanding and in the perception of the other Drops of Water. They are still a Drop of water in the Pot of Oneness, however as they move they push, shove and seem to make waves. As the other Drops respond to the Agitation, each Drop having their Free Will or Choice, adjusts their Form, in Response. This is a very Subtle process.

As Time stimulates the process of Heat in the Pot more and more Drops of Water closest to the Elements, Change, Conspire, Confuse, and Fuse together in Response to their Circumstances. Since their is only so much Room in the Pot, these Changes in Circumstance are Reflected by All the other Drops in the Pot or Ocean of Oneness.

Soon through this Conversion Larger and Larger Drops change into Bubbles. These Bubbles given enough Pressure will Burst. The Bursting Bubbles are the Drops of Water that were Weak and could not take the Pressures of Life in the Pot of Oneness.

Given enough Time this Process is Exasperated. Soon Billions of Drops of Water become involved. Soon the entire Pot is a Bubbling Mass of Bubbles.

The Bursting Bubbles are still Jostling for Position. However, we now see a few Bubbles that have a New Form, they have become Lighter than the Expanding Bubbles. Those of the Greatest Character will become the Steam. These Lighter Drops of Water have now Transformed becoming Steam. One Drop of Light water Rising Up between the Bubbles keeping their Dignity, Place and Peace.

Steam rises Up. These are the Drops of Water that have Changed through the Clashes and Trials of Character, Rising Up to the Ether or Heaven, becoming Part of the New Rain/Reign.

May All that are One in the Sacred and Holy Body of Oneness rise Up to Your greatest Potential becoming the Love and Peace you were meant to Be.

RISE UP!!!!

Love Always and Live Forever!
