Today I felt a wound so deep
my eyes refused to weep.
may innocent souls
find rest and peace.

JUST BE FOR THE SAKE OF BEING. WE LIVE ON AN ISOLATED PLANET FAR FROM OUR HOME. IT FLOATS IN AN EVER-EXPANDING, NEARLY INFINITE UNIVERSE MADE ENTIRELY OF BRUTAL FORCES OF WHICH WE HAVE LITTLE PERCEPTION, AND OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL. IT IS DEVOID OF COMPASSION, WITH NO PURPOSE OR MEANING EXCEPT THE QUALITIES WE ASSIGN TO IT. WE ARE ENTRAPPED IN AN ETERNAL NOW OF MUTUALLY CREATED MYOPIC ILLUSIONS WE CALL “REALITY”. THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE IS CHANGE. ONE CAN OBSERVE CHANGE WITHOUT BECOMING THE CHANGE. JUST BE.

Last year I read many books about Eastern philosophies and spiritual practices, including the Autobiography of a Yogi, written by the great spiritual teacher from India, Paramahansa Yogananda. I do not practice Yoga, or meditation, per se, nor do I ascribe to any organized spiritual methods or organizations. I am following my own path of reading, communicating and seeking to remember Who I Really Am as an immortal spiritual entity. I suppose I could call my form of meditation: “looking, communicating, understanding and loving”. I practice my “meditation” continually, at least to the degree that I am willing to discipline myself to attain awareness and ability above the extremely limited perceptions imposed by animating an aging biological body on Earth.
I do not “believe in god” or have a membership card in a group of followers. However, I am inspired and emboldened by beings who know themselves as the source of life energy, of love, wisdom, and of creation of realities for themselves and of universes. As part of my continuing journey I am reading a book and Blog by a fellow traveler, Pam Grout. Here is a compilation video she recommended about Russell Brand. His enthusiastic advocacy of wisdom, and egalitarian love, through self-realization reminds me very much of Yogananda. This video recommended by Pam Grout in her Blog ( http://pamgrout.com/ )

What pretensions of purpose or meaning are conjured to sustain the lives of human beings who exist within the unremitting brutality of microcosm and macrocosm: An Eternal Void of Insentient Energy?
Automatons unaware of the extent of their diminutive dimension within the
Cosmic All yet assuming they are the ultimate attainment of an Omniscient
– yet Unknowable – Creative Force?
Impotent Illusions contrived to assert that we may possess an Essence of Immortal Power and Volition attributed to the Divine Influences, or Limitless Love?
