Long, long ago, before there was even sand in the hourglass, there was a teeny, tiny dot, Elizabeth -- so small it was virtually invisible -- that was presented to you as a gift. At first, puzzled and perplexed, you thought it was a joke. Yet, trusting and inquisitive, your intuition led you to accept it and, before long, to carefully examine it.
And lo, after becoming extraordinarily teeny and tiny yourself, you found there was an entrance of sorts into this little treasure, in the form of a long and winding path. So inside you went, through the densest grove of ancient, moss-covered, bending oaks you will ever see. And before long, you found a shiny, gold, old-fashioned key that had been left upon a large, rounded stone, as if especially for you. With key in hand you proceeded down the path until you arrived at a massive gate. Just above it there was a handwritten plaque for all who might pass beneath it:"Welcome to the Jungles of Time and Space, Where nothing is as it seems, yet all things are possible. Should you ever feel lost or weary, Forget not from where you have come, And follow the signs..." Peering between the wrought iron bars, you could see the entire Milky Way Galaxy and a hundred billion galaxies beyond it. Your thoughts raced, your imagination ran wild, and as you raised your key to the sturdy, reinforced lock, slowly slipping it in, and gently turning... there was a sudden flash of light and burst of sound. Whereupon, seemingly light-years later but, in fact, no longer than an instant, you found yourself in the most beautiful human form, living on the most beautiful little planet, having a wonderful life, a wrinkle of curiosity on your brow, reading this very Note, right here and now, as Elizabeth Hudson.

The Tree I Fell From HORNBEAM TREE (the Good Taste) - of cool beauty, cares for its looks and condition, good taste, is not egoistic, makes life as comfortable as possible, leads a reasonable and disciplined life, looks for kindness and acknowledgment in an emotional partner, dreams of unusual lovers, is seldom happy with its feelings, mistrusts most people, is never sure of its decisions, very conscientious. “silence is golden,” because it conserves your energy assets so that your body can draw upon them in times of need to protect your health and prolong your life.

In Impersonal Absolute meditation, there is no form, only the visualization of Parabrahman as a state of light, of existence in infinity, of eternal being, of luminous consciousness, boundless; an ocean of consciousness. A state of impersonal bliss where once and for all you drop all thoughts of name and form and dwell upon the nameless, formless Reality, by affirming it as your true Self, your essential, real Being, which has neither birth nor death....
This is not the meditation of devotees, who prefer to keep a dualist consciousness of worshipper and the worshipped, of lover and beloved, adorer and adored object. This is a different type of meditation altogether. It is called the pure Advaitic meditation, and it goes a step beyond the nameless and formless Being, beyond a ray meditating upon the sun. Here, there is no ray, no drop, no individual being, no meditator and meditated object, only One beyond all distinctions. "Aham Brahma Asmi." I am the Supreme Reality. And thus meditating upon oneself as infinite eternal being, one seeks to enter into a consciousness of non-dual, pure identity with the Supreme Being. \"I and my Father are One." "Aham Brahma Asmi." "Soham, Sivoham."
You - Priceless
"You don't have to have money to encourage someone. It's about your presence, not your presents... Include a single friend in your family gatherings, even if he comes for only an hour."
What do Angels Look Like? Angels come in all sizes and shapes, All ages and skin types. They come disguised as friends, enemies, teachers, students, lovers and fools. They don't take life too seriously, They travel light. They leave no forwarding address, They ask for nothing in return. Liz Celtic 10 Commandments
Give thou thine heart to the wild magic, To the Lord and the Lady of Nature, Beyond any consideration of this world. Do not covet large or small, Do not despise weakling or poor, Semblance of evil allow not near thee, Never give nor earn thou shame. The Ancient Harmonies are given thee, Understand them early and prove, Be one with the power of the elements, Put behind thee dishonour and lies. Be loyal to the Lord of the Wild Wood, Be true to the Lady of the Stars, Be true to thine own self besides, True to the magic of Nature above all else. Do not thou curse anyone, Lest thou threefold cursed shouldst be, And shouldst thou travel ocean and earth, Follow the very step of the ancient trackways. a> To: Keith Olbermann Thank you for refusing to accept the lies, the lies about the lies, and the lies about the lies about the lies, at a time when the rest of the Corporate Media not only condones those lies, but actually tries to portray them as the truth. Thank you for standing up FOR the Constitution and the democratic principles upon which our Nation was founded. Thank you for standing up TO the ideologues and criminals in the White House who want to destroy our Constitution and our democratic principles. Thank you for calling on Bush and Cheney to resign, or failing that, for Congress to impeach them. Thank you for counting down the days since "Mission Accomplished." Liz Q Oneness of Life and Light, Entrusting in your Great Compassion, May you shed the foolishness in myself, Transforming me into a conduit of Love. May I be a medicine for the sick and weary, Nursing their afflictions until they are cured; May I become food and drink, During time of famine, May I protect the helpless and the poor, May I be a lamp, For those who need your Light, May I be a bed for those who need rest, and guide all seekers to the Other Shore. May all find happiness through my actions, and let no one suffer because of me. Whether they love or hate me, Whether they hurt or wrong me, May they all realize true entrusting, Through Other Power, and realize Supreme Nirvana. Namo Amida Buddha "It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back." - Mick Jagger Passion for the Possible Humor has been defined as the passion for the possible, and humor is a delightful way of offering hope to others... Those who are skilled at using humor as a coping mechanism are able to focus on problems without becoming overly emotional, and they also report less stress. Indeed, humor seems to be essential to human thriving, whether the hoped-for outcome is trivial or cosmic. Humor brings us to the higher ground where hope lives.
I offer you these words from the Yoga Vashistha: Whatever is in the mind is like a city in the clouds. The emergence of this world is no more than thoughts coming into manifestation. From the infinite consciousness we have created each other in our imagination. As long as there is “you” and an “I,” there is no liberation. Dear ones, we are all cosmic consciousness assuming individual form.
The Fire in Your Eyes
Conscious inner dialogue is another powerful tool for connecting to your true Self. Whenever you look in the mirror, even if just for a few seconds, make eye contact with yourself and silently repeat the three principles of self-referral:
I am totally independent of the good or bad opinion of others.
I am beneath no one, and no one is beneath me.
I am fearless in the face of all challenges. Look into your eyes to see these attitudes reflected back at you. Look just in your eyes, not at your facial expression. Look for the shine in your eyes that reflects the fire in your soul. If you do this exercise a few minutes every day, it can create profound shifts in your life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fire in Your Eyes Conscious inner dialogue is another powerful tool for connecting to your true Self.

What Gives Me Hope

If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
As PresidentI would send all warring factions to a "Lost" Island and let them fight it out, and the rest of us can fix the planet and live in peace! Death Sentence to all Child Criminals if they shall be among us, cast them out... and life in prison to all Animal Abusers, let them live in cages.
