SUNDAY 12/30/07

Photobucket
You don't have to live in a city to learn. I attained everything, sitting on my own in the Outback of Australia. I had no TV or Radio yet I knew everything that was going on in the world.

TUESDAYS' THOUGHTS

Photobucket

Contemplation is focus without thought.




When the 're' burns out
incarnation happens.




The whole world is a 'suggestion'. It is a subjective experience. We inhabit each others' dream. The common fact (common sense) is knowing it's only a dream. The more life force you infuse it with, the harder it becomes to be free of it.

The simple very seldom goes wrong but, if it does, it is very simple to fix. When life becomes so complex that computers are needed to run things, problems become very difficult to fix.

Look at your reflection in a pool of water. Then throw a stone in the water and tell me what the difference is.




I appear and the world appears.
