  What the bleep
 

This is part 1 of the film 'What the bleep' I think. Modern Quantum Physics is beginning to agree, arguably, with ancient knowledge. Time to re-read the ebook if you haven't for a while.

There are 10 parts to this, on Quantum Theory for everyone.

  Life is a magical wind
 

I wrote this a few weeks ago. It's a pity I can't write like this every day.

Life is a magical wind which dances round the universe in play. Sometimes different winds meet in magic moments which are fleeting and gone for a time. This is pure unity in a world which seems diverse. At this time all that we are meets itself and questions itself. These are moments of insight. They are not for the mind, they are for all our senses, both inner and outer, working their magic together. This is true reality; we are fully awake.

When this magic moment passes we cry, because what we see as real is no longer so. What is real is known so clearly that nothing else seems to matter. We are so afraid of this moment that we cannot meet it head on for long. We prefer to bury ourselves in busyness so that we don't confront ourselves too closely.

It is beyond mind and time, for what are both but mere shadows of truth.

In you I see and feel something of that magic. It is beyond any words that I can find. I do not understand it.

We are the New Earth, challenging what is, being with things as they are, enjoying happiness and sadness as one. We are the future.

Yet we live on Earth, not in Heaven and we must seek ways to bring the qualities of Heaven to Earth in all our meetings. This is done through a deep presence with all people and things.

We can meet and be that magical wind which cannot be touched, only felt and experienced. That magical wind has many names. We know them in our hearts and not our words. We have the essence of life as it was meant from the start and to which it shall return. Bring that love in all that you are, dance with the spirit of that wind and be free, for nothing can keep it chained. Even in the hurricane we can find the still voice of calm from which the wind was born.

Fly away to that place of peace but keep rooted on Earth in the spirit of creation that is ours. Play with joy so that lives speak of the love that we have met in those fleeting magic moments.

  Susan Boyle - Wild Horses
 

This is one of the most emotional tracks I've ever heard (of the Rolling Stones song)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb3XAP0c8WU

And the Rolling Stones version 1971

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

  St. Ethelburga's Peace Centre
 

There are signs of hope all over. This centre, in the City of London, was built from the ruins of an IRA bomb and now thrives as an international peace centre.
