The Soul of the EveryMan

The moment of NOW is full of chaos. Things just happen. . . The EGO wishes to control the NOW - like or dislike it, or pretend it is another time or place. To be in the moment of now is to understand one simple thing: You cannot control NOW, you can only PERCEIVE and then DECIDE to ACCEPT. . .

Be the Observer – Part 2 Consciousness is the OBSERVER – the ever-listening spaciousness that is the true YOU. But – where do YOU come from? All of us are aspects – individual sparks of Universal Consciousness.

Be the OBSERVER: When you talk to yourself, WHO is listening? Thoughts can't listen, they can only speak. The listener/observer is the real YOU. We discuss.

IMPORTANCE: What is Important? Are some things more important than others? Does your perception of what is important rule you, or guide you?

FOOLS: We have to suffer them, and do so gladly, for ALL men are fools. . .in their time. We discuss.

Are you a healer. . .? The question begs an answer. We discuss.

Attachment is the root of all evil. . . we discuss.

You are not of the world and you are not IN the world either – you ARE the world. . . and the world is NOW.

Situations are CIRCUMSTANCE. They come and go, changing as often as the weather or the tides. Life is NOW. At once instantaneous and timeless. The ephemeral, eternal, and immediate reality of being. We discuss.

With great POWER comes great RESPONSIBILITY. The reason for this is simple. Power is no more than CAPABILITY until there is INTENTION. Power restrained is peace, power unleashed, war. Powerlessness is neither, it is an invitation to be trampled upon. You are powerful. . .choose wisely.

The Essential Paradox of Suffering: It is unavoidable. . .inevitable. . . until it is not. We discuss.

You will never find wisdom or compassion in the collective. The MOB is always right --- because it destroys all those who oppose it. Beware the seductive nature of group-think, the effectiveness of any gathering varies by the inverse of the number of attendees.

Usefulness: In the modern world, we gauge the value of someone or something by its usefulness. This paradigm is true, but not absolute. The Ego is useful, the Being has intrinsic value. We discuss.

Passion: Love, gusto, sex, focus, intensity, rage, obsession - each of these holds a facet of passion, but no one of them defines it. Passion encompasses them all and more. We discuss.

Defining CONSCIOUSNESS There is power in controlling the definition of who and what are conscious. Those beings who are taught that consciousness is equal to physical perception teeter upon the edge of non-existence. True awareness accepts no control or constraint. We explore and discuss.
