The Dance Of Life

The play of this life...all a happening, nobody is doing much. All events that unfold in this world are happening on their own. People are just puppets who are a part of the happening, they are not doing much. Even the little that they do is an illusion.

What people are actually doing* is totally different from what they THINK they are doing.

It is a 'Living Dream' that is unfolding. Eckhart Tolle terminology.

The 'Living Dream' is based on an 'awakened reality', but it's a fictitious version of the 'awakened reality'.

*The 'Living Dream' does not have any doership, only an illusion of doership.

The following video shows how life moves in this world...no one is doing anything...it is all flowing on its own.

Panis Angelicus

Two versions of Panis Angelicus that I am fond of...

By Chloe Angnew, a beautiful singer from Ireland. Very pretty girl and sings well too.

Himalayas on Roerich

I was always fascinated by the Himalayas and their surrealistic, mystical beauty. My last trip to the Himalayas was 5 years ago, and I remember the fantastic timeless feeling they instilled in me. Time seems to have come to a standstill, in the obscure recesses of the Himalayas.

Here is a wonderful photograph named 'Himalayas on Roerich'. Named after Nicholas Roerich.

Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) was a russian who spent most of his life in the Himalayas, painting them with a crazy passion. Nicholas Roerich is considered a mystic by many.




This photograph reminds me of a poem I wrote in my college days.

"The orange glow of the evening sky,
teases my senses, allures me

I take a walk
and sit outside the 9th block

And watch mother nature's hypnotic dance

Sometimes ferocious, sometimes tender

Fast, furious, fierce, feisty...

I get mesmerised by her beauty...

and wish that the moment freezes eternally..."

**9th block was the name of my college hostel.

Symptoms of Inner Peace

Words of wisdom that I found on the page: Symptoms of Inner Peace by Saskia Davis. She is the former director of the "Northwest Center for Attitudinal Healing".

Symptoms of Inner Peace

by Saskia Davis

Nothing like a little humor to add insight into the traits we seek to emulate...

Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:

• A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.

• An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.

• A loss of interest in judging other people.

• A loss of interest in judging self.

• A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

• A loss of interest in conflict.

• A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)

• Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

• Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.

• Frequent attacks of smiling.

• An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than (try to) make them happen.

• An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

WARNING:
If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk.
