"We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

The heart is the centre where love happens, birth happens, death happens. When death happens it is the heart that stops. When love happens it is the heart that dances. When birth happens it is the heart that starts beating.

All that is real happens in the heart and all that is unreal happens in the mind. The mind is the faculty for the unreal, for the fictitious, for the games.

So the only transformation that is needed by Sufism is how to shift your energy from the mind to the heart.

Adopting an attitude of universal responsibility is essentially a personal matter.

The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life.

~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
"Imagine All the People"

When you are aware that you are the force that is Life,
anything is possible.

Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart.

The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible.

~ Don Miguel Ruiz

Friday the 13th is here, and it's no ordinary Friday the 13th!

To see why, add up the digits of today's date:

October 13, 2006 = 10/13/2006

1+0 + 1+3 + 2+0+0+6 = 13 !

This makes today a VERY significant day.

The last time this happened was Friday, January 13, 1520!

Being is enough
Your gift is your presence
Honor your gift
Being is enough
It is totally and majestically enough
It is magically enough
It is more than enough
Being is enough
Be your radiance
Be your light
Be your joy
Be your love
Vibrate with it
Till you lose control
Vibrate enough
Vibrate Sacred Union
Vibrate home
Vibrate your sensuality
Vibrate your deep love for this Earth
Vibrate your deep love for varieties of vibrational experience
Being is enough
Express your being
Express your beingness
Express your gratitude
Express your appreciation
Express your joy
Express your joy in being
Express your joy in being enough
Enough

It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community – a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth.

Thich Nhat Hanh
Buddhist teacher

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.

But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.

You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.

You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.

And it is well you should.

The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;

And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.

But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;

And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.

For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."

Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths.

The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.

The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

~ Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet
