Sustaining the spirit through cultivation.


I just spent 4 days at a Qigong seminar. I recomend this to anyone who has the opportunity.


Now, be prepared for the hard sell on the books, DVDs, shirts, and blender. I understand everyone needs to make a living. The message and lessons are beautiful and powerful.

I always try to take something possitive from every experience.

Like the concept of Cultivation. Not just plants but good deeds, compassion and love.



Now, I'd like to discuss something that might make some of you uncomfortable, angry or just plain laugh at this crazy woman.


The DIVINE. Goddess, God, The Source, The Big Electron.. It has many names but none has touched it. How can we, as infant gods and goddess' ourselves begine to understand what IT is? We're still learning to crawl it seems sometimes. How many enlightened people do you know? Not just the people who you know are farther on the path than you but truely enlightened, like Buddah or Jesus?

We all long for union with our creator. Don't we?



At this seminar there were 450 people. The instructor said he had 1800 at the last one. At one point we were ALL breathing together in an intense meditaion. We sent loving, healing energy to the people we love, ourselves and even to people who we didn't love. It's TRUE sharing and it's powerful! If it doesn't make you uncomfortable. It's not really true sharing. That's a good thing to remember. Also, there are so many of us who are striving for UNITY and PEACE.


Now, can you imagine football stadiums filled with people meditating on peace and love at the same time? I think we could change things quite quickly if we could organize.


Oh, no! Here comes my evil twin!!


Alright, sounds great but lets take into account human nature.. How many wars have been started in the name of God? Look at some of the BIG religions and tell me, with a straight face that they really want to love their fellow man. What started out as a good idea warped and mutated into a Religious beurocracy. More concerned with controlling its followers with rules, regulations and self imposed eating disorders than encouraging joy and kindness. WTF!?

Oh, and lets not forget the way they love to hate anyone who doesn't believe the same way as they do. Somehow GOD sanctions killing these non believers. I can't wrap my head around that idea. String theory makes more sense than that.


Be nice people! For no other reason than it's the right thing to do.


Is that so hard? What is wrong with humanity? I weep when I see the evil that we do to each other. We can do better. I know we can and I'm working on it. How about you?

I don't care what name you tag onto Divinity. It loves us all and that's good enough for me.

lets keep our thoughts peaceful and loving. If you can get friends to meditate with you. Please do. Let's work together for a change. Things are getting pretty grim out there.
I highly recomend this movie. Buy or rent. It's worth a look see.
Change your mindset, then change the world.
Come on people! I can't do this by myself.
