Eyes Blinked

Eyes Blinked It was opened. Like a window. Eyes Blinked and then, a steering There was awareness of self An endless entity;  Encompassing Borne within and without self Let it be what it is. Being is forever taking salient form emerging ever  so slowly revering in what is, is not. I am who I am  A creation of light.

Adam and Eve: the human condition

Image
GENESIS REVISITED - a new beginning The story of Adam and Eve may depict man's fall from the comfort of living in blameless ignorance, but it also describes his first - thanks to woman - courageous step on the long and difficult journey towards greater awareness (of himself, of others, and of the world at large) and responsibility, away from ignorance and the instinctive, blameless behaviour of his animal nature. It is high-time that we exchanged Yahweh for a more enlightened (concept of) God. Instead of cursing them, this is what my God (with more than 2000 years of hindsight  (When God Was a Woman (Harvest/HBJ Book) ) , after sending her unworthy husband away, might have said to Eve: Red Moon Curiosity and the desire for knowledge and awareness have led you to disobey me, but I like your courageous and independent spirit, which is in contrast to your obedient and wimp of a  husband. You have started to become conscious of yourself, of others and of the world ...

Who am I?

Who am I? I keep wondering.  The answer returned to me blank. It cannot be blank or, can it? My name is Hoselita . . . It doesn't quiet say who I am does it? It is just a name. It could have been Mabel, faith... So what now. Ok this is my body, my hand, my spine So what is it that claims this body, this face as "mine" My thought spiralled through aeons path threaded Choas and darkness, yet the answer returned to me void. Through passages, shapes, wave of colour,  meandering all around me, pathing ways, Consciousness taking flight to planes unknown, To regions without name or form. Just the sound of Omm, the vibrations of all forms  and worlds trying to take shape, to come to be Knowing that as soon as I thrust my consciousness  downward it will eventually solidify The I that claims this body of mine, my face, my soul . . . Is it the feeling of nothingness or all encompassing  feeling of universality Wha...

The Seductive Image

Americans fiercely defend the right to privacy, yet we open our homes, our lives, and our minds to a constant barrage of messages from television and film. This book helps us analyze the impact of the se media on us and our children. The author deals with basic questions such as: Are we being manipulated? Why do films often reflect the worst in our culture? How does American cinema treat religion? What are the limitations of film, the dangers? What does film do well? How does political ideology affect film-making? Seductive Image, The Billingsley takes us inside the Hollywood mindset that produces todays popular films and TV programs.

The Path of Immortality

Hoselita Ikoli www.ErrandConcierge.com -------------------- Awakening The Consciousness Of Man -------------------- "Earnestness, said a Great Teacher, is the path of immortality. They who are in earnest do not die; they who are not in earnest are as if dead already." Earnestness is the dedication of the entire mind to its task. . . . Earnest people are dissatisfied with anything short of the highest excellence in whatever they do, and they always reach that excellence. . . . The whole world is always on the lookout to reward the best. It always stands ready to pay the full price, whether in money, fame, friends, influence, happiness, scope, or life, for that which is surpassing excellence. --------------------------------- James Allen, best known for his book As a Man Thinketh, lasted only nine years, but he was able to pen 19 books in that period. Allen died in 1912 and the year before wrote Eight Pillars of Prosperity ---------------------------------

TANTRA - A Spiritual Path of Ecstasy

There are a number of different definitions of tantra from various viewpoints. Rather than a single coherent system, Tantra is an accumulation of practices and ideas which has among its characteristics the use of ritual, the use of the mundane to access the supramundane and the identification of the microcosm (a small, complete world) with the macrocosm(a complex structure containing smaller worlds). Tantra on the other hand is sexuality as a divine rite and an expression of union or yoga. At one time, long before so-called civilization permeated our culture, humans cultivated this pleasure to transcend into higher dimensions of consciousness, beyond the material, animal orgasm. Thousands of years ago, people had achieved a high degree of awareness and an alchemical formula for converting what we know as sex energy -- called by many names such as Chi, vital force, soul, etc. -using it to enter into a state of Divinity. Their spiritual philosophy held sexuality as a divine rite and an e...
