Orpheus My Brother

2009-06-06T07:28:00.000-07:00

Orpheus, Oh Orpheus,Brother of my heart,You were my intendedbut the Fates keep us apart.Many tests the gods demandedWhen you descended here alone,Courage filled your spiritYour flesh, your soul, your bone.A Path of Initiationis not an easy taskDon't look back, my BrotherKeep your face a stoic mask.I hide below in HadesUntil the time is ripeWhen the right note on your LyreVibrates with Pan's sweet

Eurydice to Orpheus

2009-05-23T15:02:00.001-07:00

Come ye to Hades by the dark of night,My hearts’ door is open, my candle burns bright,Forget not your lyre or story to sing,A fable of fire and promise you bring,When I returned not, they say that you failed,I would have the truth known, but it must be veiled.Since we first learned Egypt’s histories,It has been the way of all Mysteries,Truth for those with ears to

Night

2009-04-27T11:11:00.000-07:00

Night falls upon Night,the dying embers crumbling into ash.Alone we sit amidst the darkling woodWatching infinity unfold in nameless forms and circumstance. Wordlessly it cries and stealthily sneaks in upon the sleeper: Bathed in cool white light is pleasure primeval, uncluttered and uncluttering.Whence comes the Sun. From out this myriad group of cosmic wanderers one is chosen:The Elect to warm

Greetings Frater, Just think you should fix the spelling on the Home Page Icon (which is beautiful). We are the Rosicrucians, Hope this doesn't seem rude. Peace Profound.

THE DANCE

2009-04-10T16:19:00.000-07:00

Life’s a joyous dance of flow:Some stepping fast, some gliding slowSome move alone, others make it a show.But the one true beat, an internal call,Aligns us with Source – the Eternal All.With beats and tempos variousThe pace of some is hilariousWhile those who risk all live precarious.It’s all experience; dance as you choose!Don’t sit this one out for it’s you who will lose.Dance and life both

DISCOVERY

2009-03-30T15:23:00.000-07:00

I don’t believe that chaos reignsMid bits of quirk and quarkThat law is dashed and order feignsTo conquer all that’s dark.In the quest for what and whoEach answer found brings the aweOf simplicity to mystifyWhile exposing the next layer raw.The mystic and the scientistShould regard themselves as friends.Both seek truth, but with this twist:They start at opposite ends.The latter studies earth, sea

A Mystery

2009-03-21T08:03:00.000-07:00

Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Family Praising the Aten, 18th Dynasty Egypt(14th century BCE)When the one God exhales, we inhale LifeWhich vibrates within thee and me.Ubiquitous air is God’s gift free of strife,A grace for all humanity.If each soul on earth is a child of GodWhich resides in a temple of fleshThen we’re siblings all as this earth we trodSo why can’t we start afresh?Why do we try to

Monument Eternal

2008-08-06T20:16:00.000-07:00

Where now roll billowed seas of sandThe cities of the world once stood,Fair jewels of a fertile land,With golden field and shady woodThere mystic guardians of the NileWho dream of kingdoms passed away,Shall slumber yet a little whileTo crumble low in swift decay.And in some far age, vague to see,The world may know of us no more;Here, dusty desert waste may beWhere banks of roses bloomed

Untitled Prayer

2008-07-02T20:19:00.000-07:00

God, give me grace that I may be truePray, give me strength the right to do,Oh, lead me not in errors way.But keep me in thy paths today.We daily need thy guiding love,The power that cometh from above,Our hands are poor and weak and frail,With thee to help we cannot fail.The paths of sin are everywhere,But thou dost give thy tender care,Thou knowest e’en the sparrow’s fall,And thou wilt heed me

The Way of Things

2008-06-09T20:09:00.000-07:00

There exists within the minds of most people, from childhood to faltering age, a fundamental question as to the why of things. In fact so fundamental, and so natural is it to wonder how and why, that we may deem it not altogether sacrilegious to search our hearts for an answer.Is man a product of evolution? If so, who is the author of evolution? Have we reached our ultimate state of evolvement?

God’s Gift in Flowers – Salmon Flower

2008-05-08T17:22:00.000-07:00

This flower came to my front garden of its own accord. I noticed a few small plants and noticed how tiny yet beautiful they were. I had tried to grow other plants and bulbs in this area but nothing seemed to want to grow there. I was so delighted to have something growing well I joyfully and playfully asked the flower if it could just come and fill in this whole space. To my joy and delight my

Who Saves the World

2008-03-01T10:10:00.000-08:00

Dear Brothers and Sisters,As an International Airline Pilot I get to see parts of the world I otherwise might not have the opportunity to explore. It is a great opportunity to get to experience and learn from different cultures. It helps me to understand that Peoples all over the world are really much more alike than different. They all want Peace, Food, and Hope for a Better Future.So far, I

What is Love?

2008-03-01T10:00:00.000-08:00

One often hears others state that they wish there was more peace in the world, or that more nations were at peace. Humorous motion pictures, books, and articles that contain scenes from beauty pageants often depict one or more of the contestants in that pageant stating a desire for world peace. Peace does not occur within a vacuum. This individual mental and social condition arises in the

Some Thoughts on Reality, Actuality, Presumptuousness, and Tolerance

2008-03-01T09:50:00.000-08:00

Fallibility is part of the human condition. Unfortunately, we often seem to disregard this fundamental truth. Though we might agree with it when pinned down, we often act contrary to it in our daily interchange with others. We simply let our egos lead us astray when we fail to properly consider the other’s point and insist that we’re right and they’re wrong. Permitting a little bit of humility to

Peace Begins Within

2008-03-01T09:40:00.000-08:00

In order for peace to prevail, we must alter our thinking to believe that as individuals we can make a difference in the world. As a result of our efforts, it will be seen that we honor and are tolerant of each other’s humanity, respecting our differences and emphasizing our similarities.Peace begins with centering the self…If we wish to ease the burden that is ‘”out there” in the world, it is

Looking for a Better World: Spiritual Alchemy

2008-03-01T09:30:00.000-08:00

The Alchemists of old worked over many years…centuries...in their quest to turn base metals into gold. At least that is the popular notion. In fact, alchemy is a blend of science and philosophy. It has been so since before the Common Era, when the ancient chemists did attempt to turn inexpensive metals into expensive ones...but always with the underlying thoughts that their work was also

Peace on Earth 2027

2008-03-01T09:20:00.000-08:00

As we begin the journey toward world peace let us say one simple prayer: May I look for and find what we have in common rather than concentrate on what makes us different. Remember that what you can picture in your mind, you can cause to happen with a “little help from your friends.” The universe is waiting to help you.The picture of peace that you envision may be altogether different than your

Peace Starts in our Thoughts and in our Hearts

2008-03-01T09:10:00.000-08:00

We, the citizens of Planet Earth, have created a world of duality. We have tied ourselves to a concept of “us against them.” We have perpetuated the belief that there are “good guys” and “bad guys;” and, that the “good guys” are here to either eradicate the “bad guys” or convert them to “love and light.”This world of duality is an illusion, founded on the belief that opposites co-exist in the

Peace Came by for a Welcome Stay

2008-03-01T09:00:00.000-08:00

Peace came by for a welcome stayUpon soft winds blowingBehind sunlit rays.Upon snowflakes twirling softly downDisquiet smothered on sparkled ground.Upon blue sky horizons after storms relent,On colored leaves and rose’s scent. She rose with the moon shining ‘cross the bayThe quiet of night to support her reign.As showers drench earth’s thirsty floorShe patters her sounds of heaven’s shores.

A Primer for Peace on Earth

2008-03-01T08:40:00.000-08:00

Children learn what they live, it’s said,So teach them right from the startTo treasure each person and not be misled;Look for feelings straight from the heart. Each soul wants to be loved, and yetEach soul fears to be teased.We put ourselves out there and then we fretOur egos we’ll need to appease. Gaze into the eyes of people you meetAnd study them with all your senses.Judge not their clothes

On the beautiful terrain of the island of CyprusShe was running with her long hair blowingIn the Wind ~ like a graceful, young Gazelle.She Sang with the GypsiesPure and True ~ listening to theirWonderful stories every night by the Fire.She dove into the sparking Mediterranean SeaAnd swam with the incredible Sea Creatures.She looked up at the Sky and the StarsWere so close ~ she could reach up

A Simple Request

2008-03-01T08:20:00.000-08:00

Tell me you are my Sister, guardian of a lifetime of letters and postcards, postmarked with laughter and tears, a trusted confidante,Tell me you are my Sister,I will believe you.Tell me you are my Brother, lifting me to the greatest heights pointing toward an unobstructed horizon, castle-spotted foothills, majestic mountaintops

Attaining Peace

2008-03-01T08:10:00.000-08:00

Humanity has fought against itselfSince the beginning of recorded timeTho’ tried Jesus, Mo'hamed, Buddha and GhandiTo teach peace by parable and rhymeScience comprehends not, for it yet lingers in the boxIt has not the tools to spade the charadeOf how someone in a cave, with back to the lightSees naught but the wall and the shadowy serenadeThe rainbow beacons we followTo search for the pot of

A Recipe for Peace

2008-03-01T08:00:00.000-08:00

Precious are the moments we must allot toward the attainment of peace,Eager must be the participants in the process,All must show the passion and desire to achieve the common goal,Critical is the need for unwavering commitment.Eloquence will carry the process to its ultimate successful conclusion. -- Pax Profunda
