Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Dear Ian, Do you for a moment believe that in serving God we do not serve our true Self? He who awakens within his heart, awakens to the hearts of all others. He who does so opens his chitta faculty, that part of the mind which sees beauty and harmony. As such, he is ecstatically connected to all of life and sees the heart of his fellow man even when it is still sleeping. There is little in this world as beautiful as man's own demonstration of the virtues of the heart. All in this world is a metaphor for God. He who has the eyes to see and the ears to hear can see the sublime blending of that which is physical and that which is spiritual. It is love alone that opens a man's heart to the beauty around him and the beauty within him and his neighbor.

That we are here to take in the artwork through our amazing miraculous bodies? OK, we got a bit carried away with this free will thing, so now there is a karmic mess to tidy up. But lets not forget to smell the roses, dandelions, or chaparral, whichever is nearby. As Alice Walker so beautifully pointed out, God gets upset if you miss the colour purple in a field. Ien in the Kootenays, who wishes to be remembered as someone who encouraged the appreciation of Dandelions. ********************************************* Peacefulmind.com Sponsors Alternative Answers- HEALING NATURALLY- this is the premise of HOLISTIC HEALTH.
