(inspire me) I AM INVISIBLE ......the never-ending-George-Harrison-singing clip"""""God is not abstract; He has both the impersonal and the personal aspects to His personality which is SUPREME, ETERNAL, BLISSFUL, and full of KNOWLEDGE. As a single drop of water has the same qualities as an ocean of water, so has our consciousness the qualities of GOD'S consciousness... but through our identification and attachment with material energy (physical body, sense pleasures, material possessions, ego, etc.) our true TRANSCENDENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS has been polluted, and like a dirty mirror it is unable to reflect a pure image. With many lives our association with the TEMPORARY has grown. This impermanent body, a bag of bones and flesh, is mistaken for our true self, and we have accepted this temporary condition to be final." GEORGE HARRISON......
"i believe in life and i believe in love, but the world in which i live in keeps trying to prove me wrong" PAUL WELLER ("Running On the Spot")....I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.Mahatma Gandhi....POETRY IS LAMBS WOOL, poetry is lambs wool.....ITS QUALITY NOT QUANTITY!!!!
