Philosophy and Spirituality

[eliot]

cosmo: like that i do. its great. and in that vein i thought to offer this one to your board - great board, thanks for having it

heres one i wrote one day, 133 months ago, while driving, in 12 minutes, while steering with my knee, scribing as fast as i could on a coffee/snuff stained paper.
Bliss
May many blessings befall you, are things such as this:

Speak your heart, and mind. With calmness, comes Bliss.

For the old ways of being, they can no longer be.

Let out your light. Affirm your simple divinity.


So stand up for the self. To the self be true.
In any conversation or act that you do.


For is it not within that one finds the core,
and as this occurs, brighter still it grows, ever so, more and more.

For is not all of life a wonder? The connected beauty of it all.

The movement now being more rapid, be respondent to the inner call.

For if but the faintest of light should be cast in the darkness of room,

more vast becomes ones sight. The world then more illumined.

So look within your silence.

Listen to the stillness than can be seen.

And Feel with the knowing

that we all play parts in the grandness of God’s great dream.
( all the above was written in 12 minutes, 96% true to form. with a few minutes to arrange better)

( then i took another 2 minutes, for the climatic ending )
And in each day that passes,
in each moment that unfolds
it is to be fully who you are ,
for truly that is your gift to the world

Be True to Yourself

Behave the way you really are, even if it ends a relationship! Never suppress yourself in an effort to influence, hold, or win someone. When we are unreal, so are our rewards. To say this in another way, never behave the way you think the other person wants you to behave, but in the manner you must. Nothing you really need to do or have ever requires a yielding to person or custom.
