THE MAZE

“IN MAZES OF IMAGININGS
ALL SENTIENT BEINGS DREAM
‘I AM THE WHO WHO’S THINKING’
THE ILLUSIONS THAT I SEE.

WE CAN ESCAPE MORTALITY:
DELUSIONS WE’VE BEEN TOLD.
WE’RE LIVING THROUGH ETERNITY
AS IMMORTAL SOULS.”

KNOWING STUFF

Humans are immortal spiritual beings. We live on a prison planet. We are given amnesia between “life-times” so we don’t remember who we are, where we came from and who put us in prison.  Deep inside ourselves we always know that we are immortal and who we really are.  We just need to remember to remember.

DUMB / SMART

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

A quote by Douglas Adams from the publication, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time is a posthumous collection of previously published and unpublished material by Douglas Adams. It consists largely of essays about technology and life experiences, but its major selling point is the inclusion of the incomplete novel on which Adams was working at the time of his death, The Salmon of Doubt (from which the collection gets its title, a reference to the Irish myth of the Salmon of Knowledge).

BEAUTIFUL SADNESS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

The Montreaux Jazz Festival in July 2010 was the last filmed performance by Gary Moore before his untimely death in February 2011.  The song in this video is “STILL GOT THE BLUES FOR YOU”.  It features incomparably heart-wrenching lyrics and one of the most magnificent guitar solos ever performed.

If you have ever been heartbroken over the loss of a Lover or Loved One this song will make you cry or feel like crying, not matter how long ago that loss may have happened.  This is the ultimate “beautiful sadness” song.  One of the reasons that a lost love is so painful and seems to forever is because the beauty, pleasurable moments , spiritual affinity we shared with our lost companion is indestructible.  We cannot destroy or deny moments of pleasure, no matter how long or how hard we try.  So, we might as well relish the beauty of sadness — and fondly remember the lost loves of our lives.  They are far too few and too infrequent.
