Eyes Of Time

I'd like to meet:

~Who ever God sends my way~

The greatest of teachers set a goal within what they wish to accomplish, this goal is one which resolves itself within their abilities to teach another how to think for themselves.
~+~

Be it reaching the sky or diving the great depths, nothing can defeat the determined heart, for it is as a single drop of water, and when constantly placed can wear away a mountain.
~+~

The deeds of great people go unnoticed, but what makes them great, is this does not matter ~+~

I see three sets of wings, one of red, one of blue and one of green...When they fly singular they leave a streak of that color, but when they fly in unison they leave a rainbow ~+~

~The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by substance~

~Some are born to be teachers~
~Others are fashioned by design to be teachers of teachers~
~+~

The mind is like great stallions that race around the race track of life, some run with great speed & strength others with finesse and style and some just run, but in truth its not who finishes first, but just to finish. This is why in the begining genius is never recognized for what it is, instead it is passed off as the babbling of lunatics. All I can say to each of you is babble on my brothers and sisters, babble on. :)

How would we know truth, without deception?
How would we know peace, without war?
How would we know the good, without the bad?
How would know joy, without sorrow?
How would know achievement, without failure?
How would know love, without hate?
How would we know simplicity, without technicality?
How would know loyalty, without betrayal?
How would we know faith, without disbelief?
How would we know God, without the faithless?
How would we know ourselves, without how others see us?

How would we know, what we know?
Without the questions of what we don't?

~The philosophy and practice of "not"~

A vision that knows no achievement can only be looked at as one of three things.

1. A Dream
2. Insanity
3. The philosophy and practice of "not" (can not should not have not will not)

I can deal with being seen as a dreamer.
I can deal with being called insane.
Both of these are opinions upon perception by others.

I can "Not" deal with the third on this list because this is a fault within me, not those who see, judge or condemn me.

This does "Not" hold true just for me, but for all of us.

Advice: "Advice is good for those who think they need it". This statement embodies the whole idea of this word. Advice is a dangerous thing at the very least. A person should always be very careful about where, but more important whom they seek advice from. However, sometimes the quest for a solution from outside influences will open doors that would otherwise remain shut.
~+~

Advice:

Make no promisies Those that do place their word on the whims of probabilities And in truth what is a short coming some will see as a lie Set your goals and do the best you can Beyond this nothing more can be asked

Ask no one to follow you Because leadership is cast into a mold of solitude Let your character and actions be an example to follow Leadership upon request sets a heavy weight upon you And the more who follow you the more alone you will be

Say no word more than needed Stay close only to the words you say that truly mean something There is a cross to bare for ever word said past what is needed People choose what they want to hear and what they wish to ignore Those extra words will only serve to haunt you or be cast aside by deaf ears

Until all humankind has the same understanding, compassion/passion and love for life, we will remain less than what God expects of us, and what we should expect of ourselves.
~+~

If you were take all the religious text known to all of humankind, and separate the words from their pages, mix them all up and sift out the stories, dreams and thoughts of man, you would be left with only a few words which would be the divine answers to our questions of God and what is expected of us. They will answer our question of the truth of God, and what God expects. And these words are:
"I Am Life, Love Life"
~+~

There is a place that is beyond perfection, there are no words that we have or understand to describe this place as and for what it is, but the word that would be closest to our ability to understand this place would be purity
~+~

One day the sharks of the righteous will swim out to do battle with the sharks of the wicked in the ocean of imagination to determine who will rule the mind
~+~

"There is no greater power than compassion from the human heart"
~+~

"Sometimes the taste of our passions can slip away from our ability to reason, "jogging" the heart will make what we love come back to us"
~+~

"Whether you believe or not. No matter what path(s) you choose to take. Regardless of which guide or religious text you place your faith and convictions behind in your efforts to understand His will. All roads lead to God."

Monolog:

There have been some to ask me about the word Namaste and what it means; hopefully this will clear up this wondering of the power of this philosophy. The use of the word and the actual gesture, in truth mean the same thing, with those people who are in direct contact with each other, the gesture is done and presents the meaning of the word, without the word being used, this is most common in India and the root countries of the philosophy. In the western world however both are commonly used The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. "Nama" means bow, "as" means I, and "te" means you. Therefore, Namaste literally means "bow me you" or "I bow to you." To perform Namaste, we place the hands together at the heart charka, close the eyes, and bow the head. It can also be done by placing the hands together in front of the third eye, bowing the head, and then bringing the hands down to the heart. This is an especially deep form of respect. Although in the West the word "Namaste" is usually spoken in conjunction with the gesture, in India, it is understood that the gesture itself signifies Namaste, and therefore, it is unnecessary to say the word while bowing. We bring the hands together at the heart chakra to increase the flow of Divine love. Bowing the head and closing the eyes helps the mind surrender to the Divine in the heart. One can do Namaste to oneself as a meditation technique to go deeper inside the heart chakra; when done with someone else, it is also a beautiful, albeit quick, meditation. Namaste allows two individuals to come together energetically to a place of connection and timelessness, free from the bonds of ego-connection. If it is done with deep feeling in the heart and with the mind surrendered, a deep union of spirits can blossom. Namaste is used as a symbol of gratitude and respect thereby allowing the truth to flow—the truth that we are all one when we live from the heart.

Heroes:

Pat Tillman

I'm Pat Tillman ... I did not know you but I had no regret in dying to keep you safe. Some may remember me causing havoc to offenses in the NFL, but I was not a football player. I was a soldier. Some of you may have no clue who I am. Most of you have over looked me as a Hero and Role Model. Most of you have posters of actors and athletes on your walls. Most of you idolize musicians and entertainers. Most of you have yet to know who I am.

Life is life
And death is death
There are reasons why we live
And there are reasons why we die
There are fools who intertwine politics, governments, and ideologies, with those who die for us. It has always been this way, people with agendas marking their territories like dogs hiking their legs. And then who catches this "mark" , the very people who without question rise to the call of a worthy cause. The present dictates the facts, it no longer matters who where or why. Our people die now, they lay down every day that could have been for them, for every day that will be for us. And truly they are innocent of the ways of those who call themselves leaders of the world. Is it so hard to understand that no mater what placed them in these events they try and survive in, they do what they do for us. The harshness of the world is set in place by the powerful, not these people. Ignorance and bitterness make some of us point fingers unjustly but these very same people have no qualms about living there lives out in a world that has been built for them in blood. If you criticize the world, its governments or even certain people that run it, fine.....but leave your ignorance at the front door when you come into The "House Of The Fallen".

I would like to take a moment to speak on how all this came about. It's rare that I find the time to actually enjoy surfing the net, normally I am answering messages or dealing with the music industry in some fashion. One of the few times I was able to go anywhere I wanted to randomly, the first page I wound up on was very generic, you know how the my space template page looks, it was one those. Pat's picture was there along with the words you see above his picture. As I started to read them it was beginning to register in my mind who this page was about. Now when this tragedy happened it really upset me, because of the values that Pat had and the sacrifice that he made, but more than this, he was a football player, and a good one and he showed great character and loyalty above money and materialism, I really did respect him, even to the point of praying for his safety before he left to go over there. The thing that shocked me into motivating my people into dedicating all the time and resources that I did, was one disturbing fact of which few if any people noticed. Whoever did this page did not place a large amount of time or resources into as we did, however, they cared enough about this issue that they did what they did. It was obviously made shortly after Pat's death , by the date of submission. Now this was several years ago, the site had been abandoned for over a year, the owner had not logged on for that amount time, there were no friends on his friends list. and no comments made. I can't say why such a huge feeling of regret overwhelmed me, but it did. Our country behaves exactly as this person who spoke for Pat says. There is something wrong with a nation of people whose youth look up to and idolize the kind of character that ours do, when at the same time, a man shows by actions, not words, the strength to say no to better opportunities in statements of loyalty to those he was with. Then on top of this, make a statement of true loyalty and love by giving up all he had going for him and choosing the hard path, which ultimately cost him his life. In all my years I can not think of a scenario of which such a large number of people were so blind to such simple truths. I fear for our nation because of this. As I finished reading this abandoned site, for some reason I envisioned a very weak tiny flame that had held on for as long as it could and was close to burning out into nothing, I just didn't and still don't want to see this happen. So regardless of the value of what we have tried to do, no matter how others may view it, and even if it becomes lost to us, we leave another flame for another to find and carry on for Pat. I want to make something very clear here, to everyone, I do not support killing anything much less war, But I will not abandon those who do not abandon me, these soldiers are innocent as I said in my narrative above. There is no greater gift or love, than that of one person laying down his own life for that of another, period!

Tear of The Eagle

One Is Shed For Every Fallen American Soldier

I have taken pictures from some of my friends sites

and put together a little montage of emotion:)

~+~

Love shines like the sun

And flows like a river of desire

It sets us free in unconditional splendor

And secure within the hands which hold our passions

It makes truths appear with clarity

..

And brings peace of mind where once there was none

It transcends all things, even death

And gives us reasons for why we die

And purpose for why we wish to live
