do you play a musical instrument? so one decides to learn a piece. of course you pick something above your current skill level. the first day it's disastrous, "i can't do this", but you plug away. the next day it's a little easier. until a month down the road you're tearing it up. the same thing with working out, the real results only come with perseverance.

there's something beautiful about a nose to the grindstone. all the effort bearing fruit.

love your work timothy.

Yes, incorporating the Yin with the Yang.

I tel you what to do, just try to live by the principles of spirituality by doing that ,(if you can) because it's not that easy especially if your ego is way too big, the more you know about this life, the the bigger the ego is, the only way to keep in eye on it, is to live by those principles( if you can) then, only then, you will know the truth which is with-in you all along.

I like it. Reminds me of William Blake's quote~"there is no progress without opposites". The motor of existence appears to run on apparent polarities and the tension between them and it seems if one attempts to collapse into one side or the other the dynamism goes a bit limp.... some new age writings remind me of christian rock and roll in that they lack that kind of grit of polarity.

How splendid! I'm at exactly the same place on the 'journey.' Yes - acting from unity is saccharine...like touching everything with rubber gloves on. I can say, though, that the wisdom, freedom and peace which comes from experiencing "the one" allows much more "fun" in the world of duality. And also that the capacity to receive intuitive nudges from "the one" is vastly increased by an experience of awakening and regular "returning" to the ..."ahhhh."

Really well expressed Tim, I've been looking at the same challenge. I see who I am and then this question of what next ?

There's the rub. Waiting for a next to happen. I see that PAYING ATTENTION in the NOW, is what happened to stop this what next question in it's tracks.

No meditation or waiting is necessary. All practice falls away. All moods, experiences and events are now happening here PAYING ATTENTION in the NOW.

Happy/Sad, have no great importance in the pattern of this life.

The real you ....being in the Space already embrace and comprehend the madness and greatness of this physical realm so....

Everything in front of you IS ALWAYS transparent and limpide. Your ennemies becomes 'amazing! You fully shine and constantly have the ability to create 'space' for all to unfold their becoming..

Thanks for your books,

That was nice. I liked that.

At midnight say, "I am near you: be not afraid of the night, for I am your protecting

friend." Last night in your dream you saw One with a prayer-rug. That was I, and what

I told you in that dream about the meaning of the prophesy: make those words of Mine

your mind's guide.

Rumi, "Mathnawi"
