Change We Can Believe In

About Me


I am schizoaffective(schizophrenic/bipolar). I am also liberal with a capital "L." I am always looking for ultimate truth and wisdom. I love music, plants, aromatherapy, color therapy, and crystals. I adore ancient Egyptian wisdom and I love to study spirituality and religion. Perhaps I am a spiritual agnostic but I do believe in great teachers and the wisdom they have to offer. I strongly believe that love of the physical is futile and illusory. Find the true part of a person to love, the soul, spirit or whatever. Love in its grandest sense is the closest thing I have to dogma, because the senses cannot be trusted and love is beautiful and verifiable. Blind faith is not a luxury I can afford. My two favorite Egyptian proverbs are "There is no darkness like ignorance." and "Keep vigil against the death of hearts." My greatest hope is that humanity learns to love and evolve in consciousness.
Who Am I?
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My fingertips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play
with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and the guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading "Keep Off."
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
-Carl Sandburg
"Peace cannot be achieved through violence;it can only be attained through understanding." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
An inscription on an Egyptian temple reads, “The key to all problems is the problem of consciousness.”
There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacings of the spheres. — Pythagoras (580-500 BC)

Akhenaton
-"Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it."
-"What is the source of sadness, but feebleness of the mind? What giveth it power but the want of reason? Rouse thyself to the combat, and she quitteth the field before thou strikest."
-"Indulge not thyself in the passion of anger; it is whetting a sword to wound thine own breast, or murder thy friend."
-"Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou."
-"True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind. The fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance."
"Say not that honor is the child of boldness, nor believe thou that the hazard of life alone can pay the price of it: it is not to the action that it is due, but to the manner of performing it.”
"Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness; but He who gave thee Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise; be wise and thou art happy.”
P.D. Ouspensky
It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning.
When a man begins to know himself a little he will see in himself many things that are bound to horrify him. So long as a man is not horrified at himself he knows nothing about himself.
In all living nature (and perhaps also in that which we consider as dead) love is the motive force which drives the creative activity in the most diverse directions.
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7 KJV)
