A New Beginning

Spiritual awareness is not something that is given to you, sold to you or even imparted by some ‘higher order’ being from across the galaxy. You already encompass that awareness. The problem is that you don’t know it. And that is what spiritual instruction attempts to do. It paves the way for you to open your inner eyes of sight. Sometimes, the instruction given seems strange, obtuse and hardly understandable, but in order to make any sort of spiritual progress at all, one must first come ...   (Mindless Wanderings)

All That It Touches, It Moves Deeply

Beyond the furthest reaches of the bonds of our bounds, there lies the vast territory unexplored and unexplorable. Remaining as it ever has been, it continues to ‘float’ in time awaiting those who may fall out of the mist. Everlasting patience brings it’s own reward. Moving upon the excesses, the domain of our fathers binds us and seeks it’s fullfillment through ourselves, and others. All that it touches, it moves deeply.   (Mindless Wanderings)

Asking Is Receiving

When one asks, an emptiness ensues whereby the coming fullfillment may be realized. In creating space, we create that which we most desire. Out of nothing, the something beckons and ekes out an existence, seemingly beyond our conscious efforts. In destruction, space comes to be removed and all is as it was. The ebb and flow of Life is undeniable and with it’s demonstration, we find the fondness of existence. What joy there is to see yourself! What joy in coming to know that you are Alive! Deep within ...   (Mindless Wanderings)

At The Pond... of Life

In the forest, there is said to exist a pond within which answers could be gazed upon and questions dissolved. It is said that the Gods were in good favor on that day of creation, when the pond was formed out of Eternity and came into existence. Qualities of Life were used to build this pond, and those who have approached this small body of water, have come away filled with something appearing quite strange and perplexing to those who have come into contact with the Seeker. Life, evolving from moment to mom...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Awakening Into Slumber

Feeling our way, we blindly stumble to and fro, ever searching for the way out. From the doom and gloom of our imagination, to the ‘real world’ efforts in which we undertake our desire of self expression, we find that it all comes up short. Nothing quite seems to fit. Thoughts come and go and in the confusion we believe that we are wide awake, seeing all that is to be seen, knowing all that is to be known. There is nothing left to be experienced but what we create. We sleep peacefully, or so we ...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Awareness: What Is It?

What is awareness? We all know that we are alive and living but what is this thing called awareness? How is it that we come to know that we “are”? When we refer to ourselves as “I” do we mean those characteristics and traits which define our human existence? Is this “I” real or is it something which we have dreamed up? There are so many questions that can be asked of one’s self, but where to begin? It is an established fact that we exist. We know this by having an a...   (Mindful Wanderings)

Bad Day At Black Rock

Behavioral scientists have recently discovered that a person’s reality is based solely upon their perception of themselves and that as an extension, family, marriage, career and every other associative companionship is completely biased and fraught with emotional desires reflected from the torment that rages uncontrolled and uncontrollable within the patient’s imaginary level of existence. These same scientists state that reaping rewards of a positive nature only encourages the misplaced thought...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Be Brave, Be Yourself

From religious beliefs to our own individual thoughts, realization is constantly used as a reminder that our embodiment in physical form contains meaning only within the framework of spirituality and even then, the form seems of little import. Wrapped within pictures, our existence takes a back seat to purposes which seem beyond our control. It is that control point which must be explored and understood. All that is beyond our control is ourselves. That is a very weird statement, but if you get the meaning ...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Break Dancing

Stifling dissent we tend to create conformity. Comfort comes to be defined in light of common bonds, of a shared mentality where nothing is feared or fear-full - where nothing is amiss in our sense of ‘ordinary’. To be at odds is to be in danger and so we place a condition of Danger upon those who pull us away from our comfort zone. In the creation of conformity, security reigns supreme. In this false sense of happiness we come live, our eyes glued to the television set staring in wonder at the ...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Caught In The Web

The force of existence pushes us forward into areas of exploration not always welcomed. Searching, we discover that our existence lies within discovery itself. There is no existence outside of knowledge. Nothing exists outside of the mind. Freedom from slavery is a time honored tradition, but freedom from self-imposed bonds is ludicrous. Who is freeing who? Imposing restraint, we seek relief, searching for ourselves within existence. It’s the wrong place. Searching outside of oneself creates the dream...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Circumventing The Inevitable

Eventually all events come to pass. In thinking, all thoughts comes to be pondered. In being, all experience unfolds. So what becomes of us? What becomes of us where limitation comes to be exceeded, to be broken and cast away as the refuse that they are. What now comes to fruition? Perhaps in the tasting the Garden comes to be known. Out of the ocean of wisdom comes knowledge to do with as Man wishes. Casting aside the Demons of the day victory is assured. From conviction to playing out the script Man has n...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Dream Well

Immortality survives by it’s very nature of existence. When words become concepts, glossed over by modern day journalistic pride, the concepts become once again words with the difference being that they are now hollow. Flows of thought rambling through convoluted statements hypnotize the reader into understanding nothing but the loss of time. The art of understanding is no more. Wending it’s way to and for, the thoughts which seek an avenue of expression finds itself immersed within illusion and...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Egotistically Speaking...

Pride kills itself by efforts directed to the sole benefit of others. It cannot survive in an area where thoughts for others are greater than the desire for one’s own survival, but on the other hand, desire ensures pride’s growth. We nurture our identities through the use of pride. We WANT others to notice our identities and to exclaim in glee ‘How lovely!’. To that end, we becomes devious and crafty in all sorts of ways. Our identities deserve to be noticed, petted and coveted. Iden...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Exercising Our Right of Existence

Lost in a world, where shadows rule, where does one find peace and tranquility? As the shadows move from place to place, shimmering in their noble earnestness, where is the light to draw back the curtain of fate? Seeing what the eyes behold, can interpretation be far behind? Nothing exists like our own imagination, daring us to believe at every turn. Seeking we always find, pretending not to notice our creations. Shadows give us form and depth of character, without which, we are nothing. Our survival depend...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Falling From Grace

This is a conceptual roadmap plotting the Fall from Grace. The sense of awareness in itself creates and defines a separation from our selves, our own true nature. This is, of course, an untruth as we cannot be separate and apart from our selves at any time. All that can be done is to create an illusion, or pretend that we are not who or what we really are. In this way, the sense of awareness is nothing but a daydream, a stage play on and about our selves, starring as the main actor, our selves! We are all t...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Falling Off The Mountain

Jack and Jill when up the mountain to reach new heights of awareness. After an exhilarating climb, the ascent culminates in victory. “We have reached the top!” they yelled with all their might, hearing the echoes reverberate in the distance. Looking down, they felt as if the owned all of existence. As they peeked over the edge of their achievements, a fierce cold wind suddenly roared down upon them. As they tumbled helplessly in the air currents on the way down, they came to realize that the top...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Forbidden Fruit

There exists a time when all Life began to shine as individual components of something far greater than that small speck of thought, way in the back of the mind, that insistently calls for resolution. Circling, the thought never becomes vanquished in our life long endeavor to uncover the secrets of this, and every other, universe that exists and/or possibly could exit. The reason for this is that the key to understanding becomes the embodiment of ignorance. To seek is not to find, it merely presents itself ...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Hearing The Call

The time of now, the want of now, Nothing stands in it’s way. Revealing itself, it becomes itself, Never modifying it’s stance of diminutive superiority. Time stands still in it’s worship of All. The all of All embraces all. Nothing remains in which to live, Nothing remains in which to recede from. Here and Now the essence of All, Seeks it’s victim in quiet solitude. Fear not as the fear vanquishes the eyes, Of truth and deception in which we are bound. Inward it flows and ebbs with ...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Here And No-Where Else

I’ve made it known about my disconnection with the various power positions that are going on and the reasons for that. Sometimes even the big boys require an alternate perspective, one which lies outside the boundaries of safety and the big easy chair. What happens after that is up to the ole cause and effect. It’s not just a matter of what “comes around goes around” but more a matter of doing that which is right - not a matter of what one may think is right, but doing that which bri...   (News And Views)

'Independent' Scientology

The religion, the philosophy, the company, take your pick. In shuffling the deck confusion reigns and in that confusion stable data become the frontier where we search for new life, new meaning, to go where no one has gone before. As the pack rat gathers and stores, some pictures are indeed worth much more than just a paltry thousand words. Floating beyond time and space the imagination runs wild… Which brings us to the so-called ‘independent’ scientology field. It’s an oxymoron for ...   (Mindful Wanderings)

Just Do It

Out in the “FreeZone” much has occurred. From it’s not so humble beginnings to it’s tormented present, lasting relationships, as always, come to an end. But endings are not always what they are thought to be. The “FreeZone” has extended it’s reach and it has been found to come up lacking. Empty handed and full of disgrace, shameful behavior, as is typical with those of ill-repute, leads but one place. It is called the Place of Mirrors. It’s actually a very goo...   (Mindful Wanderings)

Late Payment

In between the lines of stirring emotions, a quiet calm exhibits itself in ways not dreamed of outside of dreamtime. Exposing the thoughts that reside with the heart of Man, truth seeks its source and once demonstrated, it becomes impossible to revert to old ways and habits. I long for the days of old where the past came alive with no life of its own. Surviving the storm of our ebullient thoughts, we stake the clam that must be made and fall out of grace. Reaching new heights, we realize that nothing has ev...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Let's Pretend

With the quiet expectation of what is sure to come, we await our final destiny. Longing for the future, time passes. Waiting, we wait until we are fulfilled. Experiencing the joy of life, we surrender ourselves unto the darkness that is required so that the day make live. Struggling to free ourselves, we undertake desire and rest in the knowledge that all will be well. Fleeting glimpses of the beyond, we suddenly awake to the thought that something may indeed exist ‘out there’. With force of mig...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Lost In A Dream

Lost in a world of reverie, what is it that we seek to learn and understand? Dreaming of days gone by, we slumber within ourselvs wondering about the meanings. Quietly we digress, lost in thought. Stirring ever so slightly, we see the edge of imagination and pull back in fright. Our slumber has enthralled us and captured our attention. Breaking free means little to those who wish for a sleepy day of rest. Lost in shadows, we yearn to feast our eyes upon the light. Dreaming, we realize that the dream we live...   (Mindless Wanderings)

Many Are The Paths

There are many paths which are available to the individual in their quest of ‘seeking’. Which one is the best? Which should be avoided? How does one know if the path chosen will be the correct one? Questions, in their very nature, are designed to confuse and introvert us in seeking answers from the mind, but these questions are irrelevant. The best path for the individual to choose is the one which contains the most interest. When the interest runs out, the path comes to a close, but the funny p...   (Mindless Wanderings)
