Hello GoldenFlutist, What an interesting word to explore! Here's what 'onlne etymology' site has to say for starters - grace Look up grace at Dictionary.com c.1175, "God's favor or help," from O.Fr. grace "pleasing quality, favor, good will, thanks," from L. gratia "pleasing quality, good will, grat...

A necessary addition to my previous post: I am in no way commenting on the behaviour of any enlightened individuals here. That would be presumptuous. They are seeing things objectively. I am almost always in subjectivity. What may appear to me to be bewildering behaviour could indeed be a joke on th...

Hello everyone, Kiki wrote; It's perplexing and sad to see how he himself succumbed to egoic weaknesses This happens to many awakened men. The way I see it is that self-realisation can be looked at from two main perspectives; Transcendence and Embodiment. Transcendence (of the ego) is the first, but...

Hello everyone, Thanks to goldenflautist who began this thread, and to all who have posted, especially to Ives for sharing his journal entry, and proudlybeing who wrote; I feel that What 'is' just flows from his being, with absolute clarity. which hits the nail on the head.

Just passing on this site; seems reasonable.

Hello Shira, and welcome.
Thank you for sharing your website too.
I have just really enjoyed the Cat Stevens and the George Harrison videos.
Lovely.

Best wishes to you,

Hmm..

Hullo Dane, So there is an anxious guest in your guest-house. (Rumi's poem of how to deal with this is posted on this site.) Acceptance of any negative emotion is the first step for me. If the suffering persists, I know my acceptance is incomplete, as the wonderful paradox here is that when sufferin...

I was listening to a Ken Wilber audio called "Strumming the Strings" this week, where he uses the analogy of a guitar something like this (I'm paraphrasing): He says the actual spiritual practice is like strumming the strings of a guitar. Without that, there is no music. He finds that writing about ...

This is beautiful. Thanks for posting. John Lennon is one of my all-time favourites. ohn Lennon when still with the Beatles: Tomorrow Never Knows Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream, It is not dying, it is not dying Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void, It is shining, it is shini...

Hello everyone. A particular favourite is Ben Lee's 'Awake is the new sleep - so wake up, wake up.' Also Anna Nalik's 'Breathe, just breathe' Leonard Cohen has many insightful lyrics; 'There's a crack in everything that lets the light in.' Simon and Garfunkel; 'Sounds of Silence.' all immediately co...

Hi all, This may be of interest. For "Awareness", sounds like this author refers to what I call "mindfulness". For "Being life", I'd read "Practising the Presence". Yep, Webwanderer, I'm in agreement with you. A recent book by H.J.Sharp, talks of "self-remembering" being two steps up from the normal...
