OH COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

ME
"The Spirit of Love lies deep within
Awaiting our reason to let it begin
Not part of our body, far greater it's role
Pure MIND over matter, to nurture the SOUL

But what of this love we so desperately seek
It will take it's own course, come alive as we meet
The love of our mothers, our sisters and brothers
A message from God, just like all the others

But is this the love that gave us reason to BE
Or a step on our Journey of residual intimacy
We need the fulfilment on a material front
But what lies deep within 'tis our destiny to hunt

To search for a meaning, this reason to be
Look beyond mortal loving, a love within thee
For it's not just a surface love, a kiss and a hug
So much more inside ME gives the heartstrings a tug

Be mindful of your Journey to pursue The White Dove 
Awareness of your Spirit will blend happiness with love
For pure love is the answer, your reason to BE
To BELIEVE there is light within love, go find your real ME"

PictureThe LOVE and LIGHT of Christmas
Well, he-e-e-e-e-re co-o-o-o-mes Christmas. Another year over, huh? When I was a widdle wee lad I received a scholarship to sing in St Patricks Cathedral Boys choir. It paid for my schooling for seven years. I must say I really did love Christmas time because of the Christmas Carols. We used to sing many of them in Latin. One of my favorites was 'O Come All Ye Faithful', in Latin 'Adeste Fideles'. Indeed it is one of the favorites at all of the Carols in the Park, sorta thingies. Kids would hold their little candles, singing the hymns with the LIGHT glowing in front of their radiant little faces. It certainly is a special time of the year for the kids. Leaving the milk and cookies for Santa (I still can't work out how he keeps getting into joints with such high tech security systems, nowadays!), the presies under the tree, the sheer delight when they wake up.....
Yep, a beautiful time. I'm sure you will agree......
And Chrissie time is special family time. To be together. Not as individual Mums, Dads, kids and the rest of the family. But as ONE. A unit. A solid family unit. ONE.
A special time to SHARE. The gifts. The joy. The laughter. The dinner. The LOVE.

ONE.
LOVE.
ONE LOVE
PictureThe Home of ONE LOVE
Now I may seem a bit soppy talking like this. A bit sissy even. Maybe even a little melodramatic.
And I probably am. I was never emotionally able to express myself until I crawled under the rock a few years ago. Then I began to LEARN. To ask questions of myself. And I started digging my way out from under that rock. Before the rock Christmas time was a good excuse to hit the sauce a bit more than usual and party with a reason for the season. Misguided reasoning. But a few years ago I was given the greatest Chrissie gift of all. I was given ME, the Upper Case one. And I read about LOVE from people who know like Dr Victor Frankyl and Scott F Peck. This love we share during our time on Earth is of a material kind. It is the LOVE we are given. As a gift to SHARE. And we do so with our beloved families and friends and others we get to meet along the path. THAT is the majesty of a love well GIVEN. A beautiful part of ONE LOVE.
But then there is the LOVE we must FIND. The LOVE of a Spiritual kind. The LOVE we must hunt down to realise what the Buddhists call ENLIGHTENMENT. It is pure unrequited LOVE. A completeness of being. A Universal LOVE. It is.....
                                                                    ONE LOVE
And it is hidden within us. It LIVES within our consciousness. A resident of our souls. The Director of our minds. ONE united. And we are given a lot of help to find this LOVE. This eternal ONE LOVE. We are given tests as we travel along the path. Tests like pain, suffering, guilt, tragedy and hardship. Sounds funny I know but these GIFTS help us soul search for the meaning. The reason. The LOOK OF LOVE we need to find. So....

PictureThe WHITE DOVE of ONE LOVE
                            CONSCIOUSNESS
                                        SOUL
                                        MIND

I don't think you will find one of the above in our bodies. And yet ONE LOVE, well in fact ANY love, will not be found without these three thingies. And I call them 'thingies' for want of a more appropriate description. Many people associate 'love' with the heart which I guess is pretty cute and sells a lot of roses and cards on Valentines day. But of course it's a lot of gobbledegook (?). The heart only lives for the time of the body, along with the blood and guts, bones and brains. The body is a piece of matter made up of atoms and packs up after a while. The body lives. The body dies. But those other three thingies are more a part of your existence than your body. And they are eternal. A part of our Upper Case ME. A part of our eternal subjective non-linear existence. And they are part of our ONE LOVE. We all have a 'personal' soul and mind, part of our 'personal' consciousness. And these 'personal' souls and minds are a part of our Universal consciousness.
Our ONE MIND, ONE SOUL, OUR ONE ETERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
It is subjective reality and although that is contradictory, it must be understood to understand, if you get the drift. So keep going on your Journey and accept with gratitude the obstacles that get thrown your way for they are given to guide. To make us LOOK for the LOVE. To take us to our destiny.
And when this body form runs it's race and goes back to whence it came (dust to dust sorta) there will be another 'form' to greet us. The ONE LOVE of our Universal Consciousness.
So look for the LIGHT. Look forward to the LIGHT.
And look for the WHITE DOVE.
But before your bodily form disappears from this objective existence we live, there is a condition that must be met before you will SEE the subjective 'reality' of your eternal existence..........
                                                                                BELIEVE

 WINGS OF LIGHT

THE WHITE DOVE
Where is this place I’m in?
I see the sky, and the sun
The trees and the flowers
And I wonder

What is real?
I ponder.
Still. Pensive.
I listen.
The voice of the wind.
Talking. Breathing.
The vision. The sound. Something ethereal
And yet my eyes see a picture. Something material
And I wonder

My eyes they now close.
I think.
My mind fully aware when the confusion sets in.
The passion so consuming. 
So little time. So much to learn.
But a calmness prevails. A peace within.
‘Tis only one love that I ever yearn.
My mind captures the tranquillity. A longing for love
For I know I must complete my Journey.
To find the white dove.
And I wonder

Separation the method. I surrender my mind
No longer alone.
The bliss of my destiny, my soul it will bind
Uncover the mystery of my consciousness, the reason I feel
Answers to questions, only the soul to my mind will reveal
Time comes and it will finish for the pure mortal run
It is then I will know.
A new light. A new sun.
I still wonder

And in that distant light I will see in your smile, a white dove
Between the old me and the light of this new eternity. 
A reason.
A purpose.
For now all that can be seen
One mind
One love
No wonder.
The White Dove.

PictureThe LIGHT of my MIND
Hmmmm. Pretty nice, huh? I didn't leave the "F" off in the title. The 'wings' are the White Dove in the 'Light' not in 'Flight', if you get the drift. The poem's about getting deaded and what lies beneath. Darkness to light. The end to the beginning. The last breath to the eternal light.
Over 100 billion of us. Deaded. Not one of us has avoided the big Lights Out Overture and there won't be any escaping the Deaded in the future. So then what have we got to look forward to? Hmmm.....
Well I've started my next (sorta) 'skeleton' ('scuse the pun!) draft of my riveting book titled "Our Decomposed Bodies Are Dancing' and in this humdinger of a doozie I talk about what we may or may not see after the pump station pops and the life in us stops . What do we see, if anything at all? 'The light' probably gets the Viewers Choice Award and it's a pretty nice option when you think about it. You might end up a tad out of breath (like completely!) and find it a bit overwhelming at first (being Deaded that is) but a good bit of light far and beyond should help raise the Spirits (all sorts of!). I'm sure you have heard many a story about the beloved 'seeing the light' in all sorts of guises, you know, dazzling, white, brilliant, rays, beams, spaceship. But then there's the extras. Thingies like the Angels to take you away, the beautiful music (Blues Brothers and of course Elvis, maybe even Leonard Cohen strumming his old boy to the sound of Hallelujia!) and catching up with a few of the 'Dancers'. But the 'Light' is what we all want. The sign. Hopefully the rubber stamp that you have passed the Judgement Day Survey and you have some light to guide you on your way UPstairs, rather than the dreaded darkness of 'Nothingness' to plunder you to into the burning fires of DOWNstairs, the, ..... well you know, the unwanted burning fires, prickly prodder and all that jazz.
All up I think it's a given that the "LIGHT" will be well accepted when we are on our way, hey dot!

PictureZat Chu, Lovey Dovey?
Of course no ONE knows for sure what's going down when we all weeeell, aaarrgghhmm, go down. I mean this is the bit I'm trying to get through to y'all before it happens. There is no doubt that any sorta light beats the void of darkness, no? OhK. Pretty obvious really. Personally I would love a few dazzling white Angels come and share the Light with me when I 'Alexander' (Popoff). I just love 'em. They all smile, some have the most beautiful wings, not to mention that we are led to believe that our Angels are sent by God to look after us. So no doubt we should all have one at least.
So here's the deal as far as I can see. Whatever happens, happens. With a bit of luck we get deaded without much pain and ouching. Nice relaxed peaceful 'See Ya' without premeditative fear or suffering of any kind. Pretty cooool so far, hey dot? OhK. Then.......
The LIGHT. Just what we wanted. It's a good sign. Apparently it's pretty amazing light. Steve Jobs 'WOW'ed a few times when he saw it. The pathway to eternity. See. Getting deaded mightn't be that bad after all...... Just gotta get through the 'scaredy cat' bit first, hey?
Orrright, can't wait for the next bit of 'being deaded', hey dot?
But this is the bit I'm not so confident about. Pretty theatrical so you might need to get yourself in the mood, OhK. Use the IMAGINATION as best you can. While everybody (Mum, Dad, Debt Collectors and so on) is gathered around crying about your demise, you have moved on into the LIGHT. Yeeeeehaaar. Oh WOW. That light. Then the smiley Angels. And of course the MUSIC. Smiley Angel music. You know.... Harps. Violins......
By this time of course you have had the out of body experience to go with all of the other stuff. You don't need the old body any more, right. So, out you come. Now in the right form to mingle in nicely with the Angels, Spirits and of course, the LIGHT. All to the tunes of Leonard's Hallelujia. WOW, how coooool is this being deaded? But then you look up, smiling, into the LIGHT ......... Hallelujia ...... Hallelujia ...... Hallelujia ........
 Oh Oh ....

PictureThe Dove of Love Above
And there. In the distant mist. Through the LIGHT and what seems an eternity (even though you have no idea what an eternity looks like!). The silhouette. The sign of peace. No more darkness. Dovey. Yep, The White Dove. The eternal sign of love. The Love Dove. Lovey Dovey bird of peace, calm and happiness. Mmmmm Hmmmm.....
As if thingies couldn't get any better you look into the radiance. The brilliant harp and violins take you to the next level. Oh, the bliss. And beyond the LIGHT is The White Dove (notice the Upper Case!). Wings flapping majestically. She stops. Mid-air. She turns and stares at you. An encouraging glare into your Destin-ee. It builds. Hallelujia.... Hallelujia.... Majestic. Your Spirit joins the Angels and Leonard singing his song. With your brilliant white toga blending in with the radiance of the LIGHT, you follow The White Dove, your mind and soul now One.
                                                                            One MIND
                                                                        One SOUL
                                                                        One LOVE

                                    together with the eternal beauty of the LIGHT.
Hmmmm......
Not so baaaad maybe, this being deaded, huh?
All you gotta do now is make a CHOICE. Yep. While you still got a kick left you have to CHOOSE to BELIEVE in THE WHITE DOVE
........ just like MOI.
And when you do you can look forward with excitement rather than fear.
Pretty easy CHOICE when you THINK about it.
Coooool poem, hey dot.
Talk soon.

MIND MATTERS

A MATTER OF MIND
Take a load off it and see what will be
They say that the greats think alike interestingly
If you cast it back you’ll be in the past
And to be outta sight then it’s not built to last

To have a one-tracked one, you’re future is grim
And if it boggles, the confusion very nearly a sin
When you are bothered it seems it will prey on it too
If you change it then another direction anew

Make your dream come alive just blow it apart
It may even go blank if you haven’t the heart
But one thing that is certain, just THINK and you’ll find
Believe in yourself ‘cause it’s all in the MIND

PictureOh yeah baaabee....
You will obviously notice the infrequency of the BLOG thingies of late and primarily that is because my MIND has been elsewhere. Well, so to speak. Some of the STEPS on my Journey involve different types of writing, as well as Producing. I have taken countless STEPS since the beginning of the Journey and sometime next year (which is nearly here….. aaarrgghh!) the STEPS will culminate in my first CRITICAL POINT. In other words something big huge and humungus (from the ‘nutsville' dictionary!) which will fasten the Journey up to a million billion trillion thingies per whatsits (pretty quick!)
With our MIND we can change it, take a load off it, cast it back in time, be one-tracked, be out of sight, prey on it, make it boggle, lose it, be out of it, blow it and onanon. But the one thing I can vouch for is that our MIND dictates how we exist. What we do and the CHOICES we make are a function of our MIND.

Picture'BE' in your MIND
Since I decided to take up this Journey I have had the time to do a lot of THINKING which has resulted in my decision to use the rest of what’s left of my short TIME to chase a DREAM. But not just a dream with a lot of ‘hope’ attached to it. I have come up with a whoooole lotta strategies many of
which I documented in my book “Working Backwards, From Miser-ee To Destin-ee To Happy-Me”. There are a heap of strategies such as Working Backwards itself, Mister SomeOne Out-There, NEGOBS, NEEDSEARCH, Viper Poison, the Future Past and the Upper case ME, to name but a few. All in all a very complex and personal strategy to help me get to where I need to go. To make my dream manifest. 
And I invited you all to come on the Journey with me. And you have. Lots of you. LOTS!
My dream is BIG. Some would say I dream the impossible dream because it is soooo BIG. And that is why I need y’all to come on the Journey so that you can see the capability we all have to live our one and only life to the fullest. To maximise our potential. And the best way to show is to DO. Make IT happen. Too many of us simply exist to survive, or the other way around. Too many do not get in touch with ourselves. We don’t LOOK. And that is because we don’t THINK. So……

PictureMmwaa hug Mmwaa hug. Cute huh?
First I failed. Then I struggled. Then I LOOKED. Then found.
And then when I found I was able to work out my capabilities according to the gifts I was gifted. I turned HOPE into KNOWLEDGE. I now KNOW where I am going and what I can DO. What I am capable of. ... What we all are capable of. Mmm Hmm
Although it has been a looong, looong Journey, it has been fruitful. Because the dream is soooo BIG, the Journey has to be looong. But when you are in touch with your MIND, the length of the trip does not matter. All that matters is the Journey itself, the STEPS….. and the result.
The reason for this BLOG is to explain how this can be achieved. How I can be so sure of myself. There is no point telling a STORY about what I did when I get to the destination, my Destin-ee. By coming on the Journey with me, every STEP of the way, you can WATCH the dream come true. Nothing magical. Just come along for the ride. And when you WATCH what can be achieved you will then KNOW. You will KNOW that you can dream your biggest dream…..
And there is ONE SIMPLE REASON you will understand why your dream
can manifest. Why you can live the life according to your wildest dreams                   
            
                            ……..IT’S ALL IN THE MIND……..
