More on The Thought Between

By -
The space that exists between our thoughts is where we become Present in each moment.  It is the time frame between our memories and our future.  It is where the Flow of the world thrives.  And it is where love in its purest form exists.

"The Gap Between Thoughts is where the mind stands still.  No thoughts exist in this space....Spiritual teachers tell us not just to recognize it, but to Be in It.  It is where your mind can experience present moment awarenes." -Evelyn Lim
What does it mean to know the spirituality of a wave, a sunset, a wind?  Are we as human beings able to consciously instigate this?   How does “Going Outside” (as well as music, art, poetry, human movement etc.) allow us to tap into this feeling that life feels like it aspires to?  Is Nature 'living' fully in the Present moment and Flow of life?  Are we not a part of this same Flow (the Whole: God)?

These moments are what allow us to se a power far greater than our collective imagination.These momentary glimpses of the miraculous are the potential of how life was meant to be, of what it can be.   These moments are the ones that Faith stands on…that Love never dies on.  “The Thought Between is You.”

To Become a "Light"er Traveler

I have always fancied at the notion of being a one-suitcase kind of Journeywoman.  One backpack complete with passport, cash, a few random clothes and underwear, something to read and a small snack and water for sustenance and you are Off to quite an array of destinations- healthy blood sugar levels included.  But of course, that's never how it used to work with me (or most women for that matter).  Boy do I have news for you...as I was classicly cruising down Keahole Drive with a recently purchased pineapple sticking discontortantly out of my backpack as my designed-for-all-island-wear sundress (my one answer to random clothes that work well in warm-weather climates...you can honestly wear them ANYWHERE that requires clothing) was flittering up around my the tops of my knees, I realized, looking down at the Nalgene crammed in the registration compartment of my 'Ped' and feeling the weight of everything (save a scoop of laundry deter...

Bus 142: Alaska Bound, Alaska Found

In Christianity, the beginning of Time was birthed by the choice of man; man choosing knowledge, choosing power over the own Creation of his soul.   As this choice was made, the closing of our spiritual eyes and the beginning of Time became our reality.   Thus Time, or “a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present to the future” was born.   We must wonder what the world looks like without the restrictions of Time… Spiritual leaders who have originated in all walks of life, such as Jesus, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, and countless others, allow us to realize the immensity in which life connects itself to all other life.   (There must be a reason why all good ideas are repeated over and over and over again through classic literature, theatre, motion picture, our own minds…they have always, and will always Exists.   We in turn are only able to look at them in different groupings, different light, different Time.   This is why...

"Way of the Warrior"

By -
In the Samurai’s Bushido, or “Way of the Warrior”, nobility was a way of life.   Emphasizing “frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honor unto death” were the main characteristics for this moral code.   (“When the cause is great, victory is that much sweeter”).   This chivalric philosophy, stemming from Zen Buddhism and Confucianism, seems to balance Self Discipline and a Freedom of the Mind with a hard ease.   Honor above all else .   In this day and age, I like to believe that the Samurai’s Bushido can still be applied to modern philosophy.    But I feel we must first define what it is that we are actually fighting for.   (For the Samurai it was the right to protect their people, to give loyalty to their master and to adhere to their way of life.   For us- (should we even have to pause to think about this answer?)?) When a Samurai became disloyal to the Bushido it was punishable by death.   One sword plunge into th...
