Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.......Release the mind...open the heart....fill with light ....enjoy the moment......Thankyou John....for your gentle reminder as you gave me a hug...as I sat to write this...only half with you....guessing at what you needed.....you gently place your hand upon my heart....a gentle nudge of energy to remind me to allow the flower to open ...to join you in the present....to recieve and to radiate back......
Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach - how you look at things....
Not everybody can be a painter - and there is no need also. If everybody is a painter the world will be very ugly; it will be difficult to live! And not everybody can be a dancer, and there is no need. But everybody can be creative.
Whatsoever you do, if you do it joyfully, if you do it lovingly, if your act of doing is not purely economical, then it is creative. If you have something growing out of it within you, if it gives you growth, it is spiritual, it is creative, it is divine. You become more divine as you become more creative.
All the religions of the world have said God is the creator. I don't know whether he is the creator or not, but one thing I know: the more creative you become, the more godly you become. When your creativity comes to a climax, when your whole life becomes creative, you live in God. So he must be the creator because people who have been creative have been closest to him. Love what you do. Be meditative while you are doing it - whatsoever it is!

This is the card pulled for todays reflection......I sense the rhythm of the space...the infinite cycle...cosmic dance of consciousness and embrace the moments of awareness......a glimpse into the space in a moment of enlightenment....and then I sink back into the unconsiousness of this personality,life...and continue searching.....aha.......the balance of the space is BEING......The space provided as a gateway to awareness....of the rhythm of the cosmic dance and flow...our unity of essence...
The child can become conscious only if in his past life he has meditated enough, has created enough meditative energy to fight with the darkness that death brings. One simply is lost in an oblivion and then suddenly finds a new womb and forgets completely about the old body. There is a discontinuity. This darkness, this unconsciousness creates the discontinuity.
The East has been working hard to penetrate these barriers. And ten thousand years' work has not been in vain. Everybody can penetrate to the past life, or many past lives. But for that you have to go deeper into your meditation, for two reasons: unless you go deeper, you cannot find the door to another life; secondly, you have to be deeper in meditation because if you find the door of another life, a flood of events will come into the mind. It is hard enough even to carry one life....
Osho Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen Chapter 7
Commentary:
The hands of existence form the shape of the female genitals, the opening of the cosmic mother. Revealed within are many images, faces from other times.
While it might be entertaining to fantasize about famous past lives, it is just a distraction. The real point is to see and understand the karmic patterns of our lives, and their roots in an endless repetitive cycle that traps us in unconscious behavior.
The two rainbow lizards on either side represent knowing and not-knowing. They are the guardians of the unconscious, making sure that we are prepared for a vision that might otherwise be shattering.
A glimpse into the eternity of our existence is a gift, and understanding the function of karma in our lives is not something that can be grasped at will. This is a wake-up call; the events in your life are trying to show you a pattern as ancient as the journey of your own soul.

Wow..how synchronistic...today has flowed with a new sense of connection...purpose...no longer a searching for...just a flower awaiting to open fully...I am excited...serene and at one with the centre........
in perfect rhythm.......this space so expansive...vast and without limits.....Breathing deep...Smiling Big......
When you open up to the ultimate, immediately it pours into you. You are no longer an ordinary human being - you have transcended. Your insight has become the insight of the whole existence. Now you are no longer separate - you have found your roots.
Otherwise, ordinarily, everybody is moving without roots, not knowing from where their heart goes on receiving energy, not knowing who goes on breathing in them, not knowing the life juice that is running inside them. It is not the body, it is not the mind - it is something transcendental to all duality, that is called bhagavat - the bhagavat in the ten directions ....
Your inner being, when it opens, first experiences two directions: the height, the depth. And then slowly, slowly, as this becomes your established situation, you start looking around, spreading into all other eight directions. And once you have attained to the point where your height and your depth meet, then you can look around to the very circumference of the universe. Then your consciousness starts unfolding in all ten directions, but the road has been one.
Osho Zen: The Diamond Thunderbolt Chapter 9
Commentary:
The figure on this card is being born anew, emerging from his earthbound roots and growing wings to fly into the unbounded. The geometric shapes around the body of the figure show the many dimensions of life simultaneously available to him. The square represents the physical, the manifest, the known. The circle represents the unmanifest, the spirit, pure space. And the triangle symbolizes the threefold nature of the universe: manifest, unmanifest, and the human being who contains both.
Now you are presented with an opportunity to see life in all its dimensions, from the depths to the heights. They exist together, and when we come to know from experience that the dark and the difficult are needed as much as the light and easy, then we begin to have a very different perspective on the world. By allowing all of life's colors to penetrate us, we become more integrated.

Peircing the veil.........
This is the way of Zen, not to say things to their completion. This has to be understood; it is a very important methodology. Not to say everything means to give an opportunity to the listener to complete it.
All answers are incomplete. ... It is not an answer to the question but something more than the answer. It is indicating the very reality....
The buddha nature is not something far away - your very consciousness is buddha nature. And your consciousness can witness these things which constitute the world. The world will end but the mirror will remain, mirroring nothing.
Osho Joshu: The Lion's Roar Chapter 5
Commentary:
Here, the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle is being put into its place, the position of the third eye, the place of inner perception.
Even in the ever-changing flow of life there are moments in which we come to a point of completion. In these moments we are able to perceive the whole picture, the composite of all the small pieces that have occupied our attention for so long. In the finishing, we can either be in despair because we don't want the situation to come to an end, or we can be grateful and accepting of the fact that life is full of endings and new beginnings.
Whatever has been absorbing your time and energy is now coming to an end. In completing it, you will be clearing the space for something new to begin. Use this interval to celebrate both - the end of the old and the coming of the new.

The deepest practicalities of loving another.....unconditional love in its fullest sense, and the best ways of applying that unconditional love to all our structures, beliefs....you know what I mean? Like....the conversation I had with my son John yesterday....in science he learned that it takes '50 watts' of electricity to kill the human body...and he commented on how weak the body was.....we then went on to talk about why as humans beings we had decided to give that space to the answer of what to do if one takes the life of another.....We both in our depths thought it could not be an answer....but neither he nor other children like him had had A 'science ' lesson that discussed the strengths of the human body, mind and spirit....I think that is what I would like to see more people discussing....
I think the question could be ...Practically how do we apply the principles of unconditional love?
