Comment on: Blog Post 'Zaadzsters_et_al@gaia [RE]UNITE ...': nt to push the boundaries of our own spiritual development need to discover. We have to find a way to meet one another in a place we've never been before, in a higher state of consciousness and a higher stage of development that are unhindered by the influence of the narcissistic ego and the less enlightened values of our modern and postmodern culture. Anyone can experience egoless consciousness in the stillness and solitude of deep meditation. It is easy to be egoless when there's no relationship. But if we want to catalyze evolution in consciousness and culture, in the world of time and space, we need to make the heroic effort to go beyond ego not only when we are sitting quietly but, most importantly, while we are creatively interacting with one another, in the midst of all the complexity of human life. ~ Andrew Cohen Gravitation (also known as Gravity) is a mixed media work by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher which was completed in June, 1952. It was first printed as a black-and-white lithograph and then coloured by hand in watercolour.…; Added by Michael Grove at 7:54 on August 26, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Bu Yan Zhi Jaio ...': space beyond is both pure and revered. On the ground a pace inside the gateway we have placed the Chiriana [dust hole], where one may dispose of mental dust/rubbish, such as selfish desires, before embarking on ones journey round the garden. Winding paths lead from the entrance past the water garden to other..., and the element of mystery created reflects the mystery of the universe which we may contemplate whilst walking or sitting in one of the seating areas placed around the garden. This journey is a physical and sensory experience. Our eyes follow the stone paths, our ears hear the sound of our footsteps on the gravel and we feel connected to the earth. The canopy provided by the old willows creates an enclosed, sheltered, protected space in which we feel comfortable and relaxed. Water reflects the sky and the sound of running water stimulates our awareness of being alive, of being connected to the universe. In this calm yet vital environment we are able to examine our inner feelings and understand them. Our senses offer a gateway to our inner being. As the pathways interconnect so the streams flow above and below ground, disappearing in one place to reappear further along, and the dry riverbeds of summer glisten and run during the wetter periods. …; Added by Michael Grove at 9:04 on April 5, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'AS IN LIFE ...': med that there would be plenty of opportunities to visit her and say the things that needed to be said. TIME, it seemed, was elastic - I could stretch it to accommodate my blinkered and, let’s not dodge it, self-aggrandising behaviour. Sadly, I failed to hear what the poet Andrew Marvell identified as - “time’s winged chariot hurrying near ”. The upshot was distorted priorities. Illusions of urgent demands – career, status, approval – were given immediate attention. By contrast, precious, unrepeatable moments with loved ones were squandered.

Comment on: Video 'The Empathic Civilisation': stylised gesture. The body transformed into a hieroglyph, a succession of hieroglyphs, of attitudes modulating from significance to significance, like a poem or a piece of music. Movements of the muscles representing movements of the consciousness ... It's meditation in action; the metaphysics of the Mahayana expressed not in words, but through symbolic movements and gestures. Aldous Huxley "Island"NO man is an island and turning my own sense of self vision into a reality has always been dependent on a willingness to search for all the component parts, to communicate and collaborate with the multitude of people destined to provide the component parts and then to "glue" the whole together into a cohesive and meaningful solution. What is required now is nothing less than a leap to global empathic consciousness and in less than a generation if we are to resurrect the global economy and revitalize the biosphere. The question becomes this: what is the mechanism that allows empathic sensitivity to mature and consciousness to expand through history? …; Added by Michael Grove at 12:42 on November 5, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post '70 years old today !': ognising reincarnation is an authentic mode of investigation based on people's recollection of their past lives. Explaining that he was no superhuman, the Dalai Lama, known for his simplicity and typical jovial style, said: "I am just a simple Buddhist monk. I try to do my best all the time. I am 80 years old now and I have lived my entire life practising the knowledge and I will continue to practise it till I am physically able." Thousands of Tibetan exiles, foreigners and Indian dignitaries joined in the birthday celebrations here. Crowds began to assemble since morning at the temple for the birthday celebrations. "Special prayer sessions were held for the perfect health and long life of our spiritual leader the Dalai Lama," Tsering Wangchuk, a spokesperson for the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). …; Added by Michael Grove at 18:27 on June 22, 2015
