About Me

I was born two days before my…
founding ancestor and…
A year after my…
first unborn child
I have washed in…
eternities rivers until the…
many skins I have… been in…
wrinkled… time.
I am the action that…
Preceded the first thought,
giving birth to…
UnIversal mind.
I am THAT… and… THIS!
UnIverse…
Is mine.
WELCOME! Take off your shoes.
CURRENT MOON about the moon
The art of transforming suffering, pain, evil, into something good is the art of seeing the necessity of the opposite. Light can only exist if darkness exists. Then why hate darkness? Without darkness there will be no light, so those who love light and hate darkness are in a dilemma; they don't know what they are doing. Life cannot exist without death. Then why hate death? Because it is death that creates the space for life to exist. This is a great insight, that death is the contrast, the background, the blackboard on which life is written in white chalk. Death is the darkness of night on which life starts twinkling like stars. If you destroy the darkness of the night the stars will disappear. Thats what happens in the day. The stars are still there--do you think they have disappeared? They are still there, but because there is too much light, you cannot see them. They can be seen only in contrast. The saint is possible only because of the sinner. Hence, Buddha says don't hate the sinner. He makes it possible for the saint to exist; they are two aspects of the same coin. Seeing this, one is neither attached to good nor detached from bad. One accepts both as part and parcel of life. In that acceptance you can transform things. Only through that acceptance is transformation possible.
HOW FASCINATING
How
Fascinating the idea of death
Can be.
Too bad, though,
Because
It just isn't
True.

one day while meditating on the nature of the UnIverse it... fashioned itself into the form of a woman and i... made luv to her! i fell "out" of luv with my "ego" and "in" luv with the UnIverse and everything and... everyone in it... now... i'm just a man in luv, looking for luv in ALL the right places... seeing luv on ALL of your faces. yeah... everywhere i turn i see the face of the godd'us!... thus this... forms the basis... of my BEing... writing... "soul- freeing"... words to chew on, mentally digest and... spit!

My Interests



I'm interested in Luv without form or definition, Luv beyond our limited emotions and even more limited cognition, see... I don't want to have to think about Luv, or have it be dependent upon flighty and... fleeting emotions. I want that... UnIversal Luv of... drops returning to... Oceans, and... winds that embrace with invisible fingers, the sunlight's caress that... warms my soul and... lingers. I'm interested in the strength of spirit that... subdues egos, but leaves them free to overcome their false sense of separateness and experience Oneness. I'm interested in that Divine She that sees me and knows and understands... We have been here... we have done this... a thousand times before... time. I'm interested in the experience of Absolute BEing that causes me to... lose my mind!

I'd like to meet:

First and foremost... I'd like to build with the Father... Allah... Clarence 13X, along with Siddhartha Gautama, Shri Yukteswar, St. Thomas of Aquinas, Hatshepsut, Ames Nefertari, Queen Nzinga, Thich Nhat Hahn... these are some of my personal heros and heroines... Shemsu Heru. After that... I want to meet... U!

Everything is new now for me.
My mind is new, the moon, the sun.
The whole world looks rinsed with water,
washed in the rain of I Am That.

Lalla leaps and dances inside the energy
that creates and sustains the UnIverse.

time entered dressed as an old man... telling old stories... stories about days past, leading to this moment... when we would meet... passengers on an astral plane... destination... unknown... u... now... know... now... aint it funny how... the spoon stays straight and... the mind bends... how intelligence begins where... thought ends? ha ha ha... welcome to the madness of my method.

Intimacy in general terms is a song of spirit inviting two people to come and share their spirit together. It is a song no one can resist. We hear it while awake, sleeping, in community or alone. We cannot ignore it.
