The Shortest Distance Between You and Happiness

If there was ever a good illustration of this, I'd say this is it. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Words are Windows (Or They're Walls)


I feel so sentenced by your words,

I feel so judged and sent away,

Before I go I’ve got to know

Is that what you mean to say?

Before I rise to my defense,

Before I speak in hurt or fear,

Before I build that wall of words,

Tell me, did I really hear?

Words are windows, or they’re walls,

They sentence us, or set us free.

When I speak and when I hear,

Let the love light shine through me.

There are things I need to say,

Things that mean so much to me,

If my words don’t make me clear,

Will you help me to be free?

If I seemed to put you down,

If you felt I didn’t care,

Try to listen through my words

To the feelings that we share.

—Ruth Bebermeyer

The Love Poems of Rumi

The Agony and Ecstacy of Divine Discontent: The Moods of Rumi

In the orchard and rose garden

I long to see your face.

In the taste of Sweetness

I long to kiss your lips.

In the shadow of passion

I long for your love.

Oh! Supreme Lover!

Let me leave aside my worries.

The flowers are blooming

With the exultation of your Spirit.

By Allah!

I long to escape the prison of my ego

And lose myself

In the mountains and the desert.

These sad and lonely people tire me.

I long to revel in the drunken frenzy of your love

And feel the strength of Rustam in my hands.

I’m sick of mortal kings.

I long to see your light.

With lamps in hand

The sheikhs and mullahs roam

The dark alleys of these towns

Not finding what they seek.

You are the Essence of the Essence,

The intoxication of Love.

I long to sing your praises

But stand mute

With the agony of wishing in my heart.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bittersweet

In my hallucination

I saw my Beloved’s flower garden

In my vertigo

In my dizziness

In my drunken haze

Whirling and dancing

Like a spinning wheel

I saw myself

As the source of existence

I was there in the beginning

And I was the spirit of love

Now I am sober

There is only the hangover

And the memory of love

And only the sorrow

I yearn for happiness

I ask for help

I want mercy

And my love says

Look at me and hear me

Because I’m here just for that

I am your moon

And your moonlight too

I am your flower garden

And your water too

I have come all this way

Eager for you

Without shoes or shawl

I want you to laugh

To kill all your worries

To love you

To nourish you

Oh Sweet Bitterness!

I will soothe you and heal you

I will bring you roses

I took have been covered with thorns.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Defeated by Love

The sky was lit

By the splendor of the moon

So powerful

I fell to the ground

Your love

Has made me sure

I am ready to forsake

This worldly life

And surrender

To the magnificence

Of your Being

----------------------------------------------------------------

I Am and I Am Not

I’m drenched

In the flood

Which has yet to come

I’m tied up

In the prison

Which has yet to exist

Not having played

The game of chess

I’m already the checkmate

Not having tasted

A single cup of your wine

I’m already drunk

Not having entered

The battlefield

I’m already wounded and slain

I no longer

Know the difference

Between image and reality

Like the shadow

I am

And

I am not

----------------------------------------------------------------

Looking For Love

A strange passion is moving in my head.

My heart has become a bird

Which searches in the sky.

Every part of me goes in different directions.

Is it really so

That the only I love is everywhere?

Looking for Your Face

From the beginning of my life

I have been looking for your face

But today I have seen it

Today I have seen

The charm, the beauty,

The unfathomable grace

Of the face

That I was looking for

Today I have found you

And those who laughed

And scorned me yesterday

Are sorry that they were not looking

As I did

I am bewildered by the magnificence

Of your beauty

And wish to see you

With a hundred eyes

My heart has burned with passion

And has searched forever

For this wondrous beauty

That I now behold

I am ashamed

To call this love human

And afraid of God

To call it divine

Your fragrant breath

Like the morning breeze

Has come to the stillness of the garden

You have breathed new life into me

I have become your sunshine

And also your shadow

My soul is screaming in ecstasy

Every fiber of my being

Is in love with you

Your effulgence

Has lit a fire in my heart

And you have radiant

For me

The earth and sky

My arrow of love

Has arrived at the target

I am in the house of mercy

And my heart

Is a place of prayer

Prayer To The Water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant

Please say the following phrase:

“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to make you suffer. Please forgive us.
We thank you and we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in the prayer position. Please offer
your sincere prayer.

Dear Woman

Alchemy of Love (Rumi)

You come to us
from another world

...From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love

You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king

You bewilder us
with your grace
All evils
transform into
goodness.

You are the master alchemist.

You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being

Through your loving existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.

A Shift In Consciousness, A Silent Revolution

Seems more and more people around the world are getting the idea: love over fear. I was inspired by these two videos:



More and more young people around the world are getting together to discuss humanity's progress and how to further it. It feels good to know that I'm not the only one organizing such a group.

Talking To Plants

You may wonder how aboriginals all over the world have been using plants for medicinal purposes. After all, how do you figure out what they’re good for if you don’t do any “scientific studies” on them? David Ike, a popular conspiracy theorist, had been going on and on about how native peoples of every culture have been “talking” to plants to find out their medicinal properties. Poor Mr. Ike has been labeled a crazy person!

Here is an excerpt from his book, “The David Ike Guide to the Global Conspiracy (And How To End It)”:

“Credo’s wife, Virgiia, talks every day to the plants that she grows for traditional medicines she uses to treat patients for AIDS and other problems. She tells the plants about the patient and asks them to help. She takes only as much of the plant as the patient needs and the plants don’t die as a result. They are involved in the process of healing through this telepathic communication, and respected for what they are—consciousness.”

No more scorn for you, Mr. Ike! Some researchers have been shedding light on the matter! It turns out, plants talk after all—you just have to listen! Plants react to signals coming from other plants, and animals! Why not from people? When hooked up to a lie detector, you can actually listen to the frequencies they give off. Apparently plants don’t like it when they sense shrimp falling into hot, boiling water (just one of the experiments that had been done on them). I think I’d cringe too!



Perhaps we can develop some technology that lets us hear trees screaming when we cut them and turn them into paper. At least that would make a difference.

Symphony of Science

Well... this is quite bizare, but very cool. If you're into sound montage, you'll enjoy this.

1, 1:11 and 11/11/11 in Numerology

First off, Happy New Year! It's 1/1/11!

Many of you have reported seeing a lot of 1:11 and 11:11 on your digital clocks for awhile. We're also in 2011 now! What does this mean? Well, here are some insights from the Transitions Website.

1:11 and 11:11

The double 11:11′s and triple 1:11′s we’ve seen repeatedly have tried to remind us that we are literally walking up energy stair steps (different frequencies) and passing through numbered portals/gates and being triggered within an increasingly compressed (faster spinning and higher vibrating) disintegrating 3D time-line into a higher dimension (5D), completely rewired New Earth, and much more light-filled and unified existence.

11 is androgynous and represents resolved and fully integrated masculine/feminine energies within both sexes, higher awareness, higher mind, higher level psychic abilities, awakening, and 11 also has energetic connections to the sign of Aquarius/Uranus—the 11th sign of the zodiac and the New Aquarian Age energies.

11/11/11: Special Portal/Gateway

Next years triple 11′s of Nov. 11, 2011, 11-11-11 is where we walk through the energetic portal/gate or Iniatic Pillars that we’ve seen for many long years.

Imagine moving through the 11-11-11 (Nov. 11, 2011) portal, and then the triple portals of 2012! Wow…after that we’ll be in and of that symbolic 13 (fifth dimensional) unified energy and New Earth that exits vibrationally above and beyond the old lower third-dimensional planetary systems of 12.

On The Number 11 Synchronicities (From Crystalinks):

Physical reality is a consciousness program created by digital codes. Numbers, numeric codes, define our existence. Human DNA, our genetic memory, is encoded to be triggered by digital codes at specific times and frequencies. Those codes awaken the mind to the change and evolution of consciousness. 11:11 is one of those codes, meaning activation of DNA.

You will note that seeing 11:11 frequently creates synchronicities in your life.

The year 2011 will have great significance and consciousness will evolve in full swing. January 1, 2011 we find - 1/1/11 which could be seen as 1111. November 11 - 11/11/11. This promises to accelerate consciousness toward 2012.

2012 links to the Mayan Calendar end time at 11:11 UT, Universal Time. (December 12, 2012).

11 is a double digit and is therefore considered a Master or Power Number. In Numerology 11 represents impractical idealism, visionary, refinement of ideals, intuition, revelation, artistic and inventive genius, avant-garde, androgynous, film, fame, refinement fulfilled when working with a practical partner. Eleven is a higher octave of the number two . It carries psychic vibrations and has an equal balance of masculine and feminine properties. Because eleven contains many gifts such as psychic awareness and a keen sense of sensitivity, it also has negative effects such as treachery and betrayal from secret enemies.

Many associate 11:11 with a wake-up code/alarm as they see it on digit clocks and watches. It can also be seen as a key to unlock the subconscious mind, our genetic encoded memories, that we are spirits having a physical experience, not physical beings embarking on a spiritual experience.

11:11 or derivatives of these numbers, 111 and 11, are digits that repeat in time thus a metaphor for reality as patterns that repeat in time for us to experience. This can refer to the rise and fall of civilizations, our personal experiences and lessons, loops in time. They are cycles of time that create and recreate following the blueprint.

Ellie and 11:11 .... In 1991, when I was hosting the talk show "The Metaphysical Experience", a woman named Solara was my guest. Her topic was Activation of the 11:11 Doorway. It was all about ascension and the beginning of awareness of the 11:11 code. In 1995, a Crystalinks' reader named Joe emailed about his experiences with the numbers 111:111, hence the file you are reading was first created and in so doing I took a long hard look at this phenomena experienced by those around me. Each time Joe was about to go through another major spiritual awakening, an epiphany of some kind, those numbers would appear in his physical experience to signal the upcoming change. The numbers say, "Pay attention!"

11 represents spiraling twin strands of human DNA moving into higher frequency of consciousness.

11 represents balance.

11+11=22=4=Time. 22 is a Master or Masonic Number.

Some souls see a Golden Age emerging, as told by the ancient prophets. Gold refers to Alchemy , the alchemical changes that are taking place in our bodies in the evolution of consciousness.

Reality as a geometric design is based on numbers (universal language) that repeat in cycles to create the linear time experiment. In Pythagorean Numerolgy, a cycle is based on 9. 9=End. 9/11= end of the DNA biogen(et)ic program running at the moment.

You will experience a sudden awakening after which reality is never the same. You are going to create clarity, healing and balance for yourself. Do not expect others in your life to be on this journey with you. It is yours alone as it is for most souls. You will have to seek new friends of like mind who are also being triggered by the digits. Once you open the Digital Door, there is no going back. Your soul will automatically and quickly move you from level to level of experience until you 'get it'. Your consciousness is expanding and therefore you will, manifest faster and with greater comprehension, becoming more aware of the meaning of synchronicities that will become more and more frequent. They are created by your soul creates to help you remember that you are a soul spark in a physical program that is about to end, evolve back to higher consciousness.

Once you see your numeric codes, you have activated something in your DNA codes and they will continue to appear until you 'get the message' ... it is 'time' to move on.

Upon seeing your digit encoded numbers, you may feel a sense of urgency or related emotions. Chill out! For NOW there is TIME!

The numbers usually signal changes in the patterns of your life.

They may confirm something that you are experiencing whenever the numbers appear to you.

You may dream also about the numbers, linked with things you do not as yet understand, or wake up at the same time every night with those numbers on your digital clock, ie. 11:11

Indigo Resources

I had been asked to provide some Indigo Resources for those who are having trouble coping with everyday life. Here are some videos, links and books that will help with the transition. It's mostly the books that offer some serious self-development and coping techniques. I strongly suggest staying OFF Indigo Forums. They're plagued by people who want to exploit/control/monitor Indigos.

The Chamber In The Paw Of The Sphinx

Edgar Cayce predicted the Hall of Records would be found in a chamber in the paw of the Sphinx. Although a chamber was detected, it cannot be opened for political reasons. The Egyptian government is currently holding all the cards. We shall see when it will be opened and who will be worthy enough to open it.

Numerology: Single Digit Meanings

There are many explanations for each number, but I chose the ones that seem more resonant with me. Below the post I offer some resources (the ones I used for reference and some other sites as well).

NUMBER 0

Limitless, Unity, Nothingness, Boundless, Truth, Purity, Love, All, Alpha and Omega, Possibility, First Cause, Unmanifest, Breath of God, Unified Field, Source, Space, Consciousness, Cosmic Egg, God.

Tarot: The Fool
Astrology: Uranus, Neptune
Rune: Fehu
Shamanism: Snowy Owl
Alchemy: Sky/Air
Aura: White Light
Colors: Transparent
Gemstone: Diamond
Body: Breath/Ether - Down Front, Up Back - Oval

The symbolic meaning of number zero alludes to:

*Mystery
*Nothingness
*Infinity
*Potential
*Possibility
*Eternity
*Reflection
*Void
*Totality
*Rebirth

Primarily, the spiritual meaning of zero deals with pure potentiality. It is the point from which all other numbers spring forth. Even visually – the number zero is symbolic of the seed, womb or egg from which pure potential emerges.

Because the zero also visually resembles a circle, this is symbolic of eternity, evolution, infinity. Additionally, as with most symbols comprised or containing the circle we’re dealing with meanings of cycles, evolution, and time. Think wheels here – “what comes around goes around.”

However, due to its numerical value, the zero may also be interpreted as a void – a representation of non-existence, and sometimes death. But, again, our minds wander back to the symbolism of eternity and infinity as well as cycles and rebirth. Consequently we may say there is no real death only another phase of life.

Mayan glyphs used the “cosmic spiral” to represent the numeral zero – they inherently knew the massiveness of mystery swirling in the pools of zero-ness.

Pythagoras, (practically the father of numerology) viewed the sign of the zero as the container for all things and the birthing place of all other values (that which precedes must be the birth giver of all that follows). This is also the interpretation of the zero in Tarot numbers as well as other mystery school teachings.

Focus upon the zero is encouraged when we wish to be present in the moment, when we are trying to regroup our level of awareness. This is because the zero is representative of the essence of reality. It is everything and nothing at the same time.

NUMBER 1

Beginning, New, Focused concentration, Goal-striving, Action, Independence, Originality, Courage, Invention, Leader, Self-reliant, Ambition, Pioneer, Will, Conscious Mind, Positive.

One primarily deasl with strong will, positivity, pure energy. The number One reflects new beginnings, and purity. The symbolic meaning of number One is further clarified when we understand One represents both kinds of action: physical and mental. This combined with Ones urgency for new beginnings, we begin to see Ones recurring in our lives indicates a time to exert our natural forces, take action, and start a new venture. One encourages us our action will be rewarded in kind.

NUMBER 2

Duality, Division, Polarity, Choice, Gestation, Cooperation, Service, Harmony, Support, Waiting, Diplomacy, Patience, Psychic, Intuition, Adaptable, Empathic, Partnership, Mediator, Comparison, Receptive, Helper, Collecting, Reproduction, Balancer of Opposites, Subconscious Memory, Positive and Negative.

The symbolic meaning of number Two is kindness, balance, tact, equalization, and duality. The number Two reflects a quiet power of judgment, and the need for planning. Two beckons us to choose. The spiritual meaning of number Two also deals with exchanges made with others, partnerships (both in harmony and rivalry), and communication. Two urges us out of our indecision, calls us to unite with like-minds, and like-ideals. Two asks us to exert our natural flow of judgment to do what is best for our souls.

NUMBER 3

Trinity, Union of Divine plus Human, Manifestation, Positive, Negative and Neutral, Expression, Subconscious Mind/Imagination, Creative, Optimistic, Enthusiasm, Expressive, Charming, Humour, Fun, Attractive, Friendly.

The spiritual meaning of number Three deals with magic, intuition, fecundity, and advantage. The number Three invokes expression, versatility, and pure joy of creativity. Three is also a time identifier as it represents Past, Present and Future. Consecutive Threes in your life may symbolize the need to express yourself creatively, or consider your present directional path in relation to past events and future goals. Three may also represent promising new adventures, and assurance of cooperation from others whom you may require help. Three typically symbolizes reward and success in most undertakings.

NUMBER 4

Practical, orderly, patient, logical, hard-working, loyal, builder, steadfast, frugal, responsible, earthy, planner, materially creative, green thumb, even tempered.

The symbolic meaning of number Four deals with stability and invokes the grounded nature of all things. Consider the four seasons, four directions, four elements all these amazingly powerful essences wrapped up in the nice square package of Four. Fours represent solidity, calmness, and home. A recurrence of Four in your life may signify the need to get back to your roots, center yourself, or even "plant" yourself. Fours also indicate a need for persistence and endurance.

NUMBER 5

Adventure, change, freedom, exploration, variety, sensuality, unattached, curious, experienced, periodicity, knowledge seeker, knowledge teacher, traveller, imagination, child-like, playful. 

The spiritual meaning of number Five deals with travel, adventure, and motion. With the highs that come with these attributes, Fives also carry instability and unpredictability, and radical changes. The spiritual meaning of Five draws our attention to the wonder of life, and beckons us to appreciate the perception of chaos all around us. Five has wild vibrations: primitive and erratic. When Five continues to pop up in your life be prepared for some action, like a trip. Remember, trips aren't all necessarily taken physically. Some of the best journey's are taken in the mind and spirit. 

NUMBER 6

Harmony, beauty, nurturing, love, marriage, family, responsibility, understanding, sympathy, healing, empathic, perfectionist, order, duty, comfort, service. 

The symbolism behind number Six is legend. With Venus as its ruler, Six represents harmony, balance, sincerity, love, and truth. Six naturally reveals solutions for us in a calm, unfolding manner. We invoke the Six when we need delicate diplomacy when dealing with sensitive matters. The spiritual meaning of number Six also deals with enlightenment; specifically "lighting" our path in areas we require spiritual and mental balance. Sixes beckon us to administer compassion and consciously choose forgiveness in a situation. 

NUMBER 7

Philosopher, sage, wisdom seeker, reserved, inventor, stoic, contemplative, aloof, deep-thinker, introspective, spiritual, faith, esoteric, exotic, unusual, hidden, seeking perfection, ethereal, other worldly, enigma.

Sevens, like Threes, deal with magical forces. Sevens deal with esoteric, scholarly aspects of magic. Representative of scholarly activities, mystery, and the focused search for esoteric meanings. Seven deals with the activation of imagination and manifesting results in our lives through the use of conscious thought and awareness. Ruled by Saturn, Seven can represent impractical dreaming, but with a deeper understanding of the aspects of Seven, you can quite deftly utilize its magical vibration to your own benefit.

NUMBER 8

Achievement, abundance, executive, strength, self-disciplined, power, success, authority, psychology, entrepreneur, intensity, supervisor, provider, grandeur, material manifestor.

The symbolism backing number Eight deals largely with business, success, and wealth. This is due to the fact that Eight represents continuation, repetition, and cycles. Such elements are seen in arenas where success is obtained simply because of dogged determination and repetition. Also, matters of business and wealth largely depend on cycles to fulfill their manifestation. It's like the snowball analogy: As it continues to roll, in gets bigger and bigger with each revolution. Eight represents that kind of momentum.

NUMBER 9

Endings, completion, humanitarian, compassionate, romantic, selfless, generous, philanthropic, loving, wisdom, idealist, artistic, spiritual healer, all allowing, other worldly, blending.

The spiritual meaning of number Nine bring us to the very height of vibrational frequencies in this number sequence. Nine represents attainment, satisfaction, accomplishment, and our success to achieve an influence in our circumstances. The spiritual meaning of number Nine deals with intellectual power, inventiveness, influence over situations and things. Nine beseeches us to recognize our own internal attributes, and extend these abilities out into the world to make a positive, influential difference.

Meditation Video

This sacred geometry video offers a very good visual aid to your meditation.

One Rule, 3 Sacks

A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are brought into a large room and told to stand against one wall. On the floor of the room is a very precisely drawn grid; on the opposite side of the room are three sacks.

The three learn that each sack contains $1 million, and that the object is for each of them to cross the room and grab a sack. The only rule is that they must cross the room in half moves only. This means that first they can walk exactly half the distance from where they stand to the sack. Then, they can again walk half the distance from where they stand to the sack, and so on.

The mathematician stands still for a moment, then shakes his head.

"Distance = 0 will never be true."

And with a sigh of defeat, he turns, and walks out of the room.

The physicist stares off into the distance, and he, too, shakes his head.

"Time to traverse distance equals infinity."

And with that, he sighs in defeat, turns, and walks out of the room, joining the mathematician outside. Soon, they are joined by the engineer, who walks out of the room grinning, and holding all three bags.

"Sometimes, close enough is good enough."

God, Speak To Me

The child whispered, 'God speak to me.' and a meadow lark sang.

the child did not hear.

So the child yelled, 'God speak to me! ' and the thunder rolled across the sky.

But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said, 'God let me see you.' and a star shown brightly.

But the child did not notice.

The child shouted, 'God show me a miracle! ' and a life was born.

But the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair, 'Touch me God and let me know you are here! ' Where upon God reached down and and touched the child.

But the child brushed the butterfly off and walked away unknowingly.
