“Let us offer prayers and blessings
for all people and all nations of the Earth.
Let us bless that, though intense, this will also become a time of conscious awakening and healing for everyone.
We know, from the lessons of history,
that great difficulties, disasters and challenging times
also can strengthen and unify us by dissolving the differences that appear to divide us.
Calamities often strengthen us internally,
making us more deeply aware of the highest values of life.
Troubling times encourages us to work together,
to genuinely care for each other.
Such events make us more aware of our collective strength
when we work together as one united human family.
May we grow in unity, love and understanding.
The Lord’s Blessings be upon all people and nations affected at this time.
May governments and all helpers move in an inspired,
co-operative and harmonious way,
so that collectively we are able to put right
whatever needs to be put right within our capacity.
Our prayer is that this disease comes to an end soon.
We believe, trust, know this will happen.
This is a prayer for our entire world and its leaders.
We pray that the greater, higher Truth which dwells inside us all raise us up in conscious awareness of our true nature and Being so that we become more kind, more open,
more loving, wise, peaceful and powerful in the Truth we are.
May we live fully in the joy of our real nature
in accordance with the will of the Supreme God Almighty.”
Of that of which I am certin
The things that I useto be certin of, Iam nolonger certin of.
The things that I useto be certin of, that Iam still certin of,
Iam nolonger certin of in the way I useto be certin of them and altho I can't be certin,
I can be fairly certin that this is not going to stop.
~Macrina Wiederkehr
At the core of our Being we all long for fundamental or unconditional happiness, a contentment that is indestructible.
It doesn’t depend on any external causes, conditions, or circumstances. Our disconnection from unconditional happiness lies within our own minds.
In fact, there are only a few thoughts between us and happiness.
We could also say that happiness is an Enlightened Mind, our True Nature, which is already present in all of us.
It is here now;
ready to reveal a strength, vibrancy,
serenity and inner peace
that many of us have never known possible.

Remember what the Weather Lama Yeshé Dorjé said
"...it is much more difficult to control one's mind
than to control the weather."
See Storm as already dissolved

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and freedom for all.
the meaning of each word: lokah: location, realm, all universes existing now samastah: all beings sharing that same location sukhino: centered in happiness and joy, free from suffering bhav: the divine mood or state of unified existence antu: may it be so, it must be so (antu used as an ending here transforms this mantra into a powerful pledge)
Another of the tools we have worked with is Deva Premal's version of the Medicine Buddha’s mantra which goes like this: tayatha om bekandze bekandze maha bekandze radza samudgate soha
Without any fabrication or effort
The discovery of basic space
The natural state of Being
Open, Spacious, Luminously Knowing
Just This
As It Is

Also we continue our exploration of sacred sound vibration of mantra as a way of realigning our focus with the sacredness of all life.
I am amazed that there are a hand full of people learned here in Stuart Fl and who now know the long form of the Gayatri mantra.

Everything abides in and as naturally occurring totally pure timeless awareness.
There is nothing whatsoever other than this.
Elevate your experience and remain wide open like the sky.
Expand your mindfulness and remain pervasive like the earth.
Steady your attention and remain unshakable like a mountain.
Brighten your awareness and remain shining like a flame.
Clear your throughtfree wakefulness and remain lucid like a crystal.
Tilopa:
Let go of what has passed.
Let go of what may come.
Let go of what is happening now.
Don't try to figure anything out.
Don't try to make anything happen.
Relax, right now, and rest.

Check out Non-Duality America
Rupert Spira~
Non-duality could be said to be the experiential understanding that experience does not comprise two parts, a perceiving subject and a perceived object, but is rather one seamless whole. In this revelation the distance, separation or otherness between oneself and all objects, people and the world is seen to be and to have always been utterly non-existent.
Love, peace and happiness are some of the names that are sometimes given to this experiential realization but are usually misinterpreted by thinking. In conventional dualistic thinking we feel, “I love you.” In the living experience of non-duality, the I and the you dissolve, leaving only love.
Nonduality does not mean we do not exist-but it does mean we do not exist as we think we do.
According to the nodule-view, the phenomena, boundaries, and formations which constitute our world are but a fleeting illusion, empty of separate existence.
In relative terms, things are exactly as they seem.
But Ultimately, everything Is As It Is, everything is One.
In theistic language, Everything Is God.
