He'll protect the truth
He'll guide you on your path,
He'll kick your ass is you need it kicked.
Anyway he's just a symbol of the God within
Make friends and know no fear.

Surely as the cart follows the ox...
What's goes around...
STOP the wheel of karma, forgive,
Choose happiness instead of righteousness,
Acceptance over confrontation
Peace over war.
Act from the heart.

Holy ground is made holy by our by our power.
See the holy heart of all around, this is peace, this is love, thisis the joy of unending consciousness .

Seek the inner shrine
Seek to know your heart

Truly holy ground.
A mirror of the powerspot in our hearts.

Mahatma Ghandi said "be the change you want to see in the world".
American best seller author Wayne Dyer wrote a wonderful book entitled "Believing is seeing", Jesus said "love thy neighbor ".
It is quite a common view point amongst both modern and ancient spiritual teachers and cutting edge quantum physics that we as individuals, who make up societies, create our external reality simply as a direct projection of our internal beliefs.
So as to say that each of us lives in an entirely different, thus subjective reality. Entirely separate from others and thus far from any proximity of living in the objective reality.
We are living in a self made dream, that realizes all it predicts.
For example, before us is a white dog.
One may look up on it and instantly start to sweat and shake in fear that it may bite them. Adrenaline and all kinds of hormones are pumped into the blood stream to prepare for a flight or fight response, panic is prevalent, muscles tense..
There reality is thus due to past experience.
They see not this white dog but associate with another mongrel that had bitten them.
Another individual seeing the pooch is totally enamored by it's soft floppy ears, shiny black snout and sluffy tail, serotonin levels skyrocket a pinkish hue comes to their cheeks and a smile extends across there glowing face.
Past experience tells them this canine is adorable.
Yet another may drool and salivate at the thought of a tasty hotpot and so on...
Meanwhile the dog is still just a dog with it's own entirely different attributes, and in it's own reality.

Understanding this we can begin to see that if we view the world as a place of danger, war,disease, corruption and fear these views are all projected from some inner conflict due to past experience, whether first hand or handed down through family, teachers,mass media etc.
People who see peace, beauty and abundance around are likewise manifesting this reality due to their inner vibration of these qualities being extended onto the external screen before them.
Accepting this explanations logical progression, we can see what Ghandi said was not merely metaphorical, poetic or symbolic but and enduring message to us all that any action to improve this world i.e. your world, must start with accepting responsibility for your own thoughts and beliefs.
When and only when we start to manage our own minds may we begin to effectively create a "better" world.
Rather than blame and seek outer reasons for our dilemmas we must own them, thus regaining power over them, to reconstruct according to our higher vision of how we would prefer to see the world.
Let's share in a vision of peace on earth, joy and prosperity for all, where we can all live in harmony with nature and each other.
Let's create the knew paradigm so our children and generations to come may know only beauty and all encompassing love.
Let this day have the most wonderful you!

Yes!
It's a great day!
Think about this...
You will make your life better,
You will make reiki better,
Reiki will help you to know how...
Your ready because you have decide you are ready,
Congratulate yourself for committing to your spiritual evolution,
You ARE love.
(thanks Y)

Aah! Kirishima,Kirishima

The highest gift.
We can only give what we have chosen to receive.
A spiritual teacher (and we all teachers of spirit to our world family) cannot give experience because we did not choose it was simply something that has happened to us in the dream of time.
We can give vision. Vision is something holy because we hold in the present where all power lies. By giving vision we also choose to behold it and thus receive again for ourselves.
By giving this vision continuously we remain in the now where fear is but a shadow and love is the infinite light that knows no end.
The vision we may share is to see beyond the bodies of those we meet as we see them as spirits unfettered by illness,mental anguish or suffering from an ailment of spirit.
We choose instead to behold them as they were before birth in their primordial state of eternal innocence, pure and uncorrupted by false teaching and biased time based assumptions.
By holding the vision of our brothers as beings of divinity and perfect clarity then we to share that heavenly realm of peace and unconditional love.
I choose to day to be aware of my thoughts and when I find myself in judgement, to awaken and look again at the deepest level of the one before my minds eye and see their core of perfection.
In this vision is healing over and wholeness known in joy and unending celebration!
This is gift of a teacher, a healer, a truly caring friend, parent, sibling or lover. This our gift to all if we so choose to give it, and know it's gift ourselves.
Every moment another chance to know the god within.
Let the day have an infinite you!

Seek great teachers

The message is always the same,
Know thyself,
Look within,
Be your own light.

Seek great teachings
Study with great teachers
The message is the same,
Look within,
Know thyself,
Be your own light.

The sun wallows into slumber
The corn awaits it's birth
My heart is beats in time with God

On an on
Round and round
Forms in motion
Enjoy the spin
Let go of the attachment
And eat life up, without a care for the belly line of your soul!

Flower power

Kirishima as it's name suggests
Ikoma kogen at it's best
Ecuadorian vibes so deep so, so high

The light at the end of the tunnel is shining on us now,
The tunnel is just shadow cast by the ego,
Give up identification with that little I and see the darkness swallows by luminosity of your truth.

This is Japan
The life of it's people
The harvest
Give thanks for お米

When your heart is overflowing
With gratitude and joy
You want to share it and spread it
Let it flow to all around!
Love and happiness to all!

Had a great day in hyuga!
Shared massage with some lovely people, played cricket with good friends and dined in a healthy, cheap and tasty place called 木風。
ありがとう ありがとう 本当にありがとう

Having fun in the illusion is great, just dont be attached, laugh and laugh again! Cry, let it go and know change is constant, a source of comical joy!

There can be but one truth. By definition for anything else to exist would thus be false, thus there can only one all encompassing reality and no opposite to that. Truth is beyond duality and polarity it is infinite and expanding.
For us to know truth we must accept that our essence must be an extension of this truth. We can hope to know this truth through the limitations of our sense perception and past experience. We can only find it in there awareness of the present moment.
When we truly dwell in the here and now, we i.e. our small egoistic selves cease to be and our true selves become apparent. This true self which is not separate from anything,but a unity with oneness exposes all doubts and fears as simply illusions and we know that only joy, love and peace exist.
We must seek to know ourselves, because any investment we make in external activities will surely end up in disintegration and ultimate misery.
Resolve to seek your true being and find everlasting peace.

Who needs Photoshop when nature does it right the first time.

Day by day, I see why Takaharu rates in the top 100 most beautiful villages in Japan. It's quite simple. It's simply Beautiful.

It takes more than creativity, it take courage to follow your dreams. It takes conviction and perseverance.
Thanks Mr. Jobs.

Some scenes are just so beautiful their better off not editing.
Today God has outdone himself.
This one is for Steve and the lesser known Graham Dilley .
May creativity flourish in space he left behind.

A simple cure all for all
maladies of the heart, mind or body.
The basic human condition, a continuous state of varying intensities of fear,
a state of alert, defense and it's obvious partner - attack.
Like a tiny drop waiting we tremble at the thought of the egos death. The false I, formed by an attempt to to be special gives rise to the illusion of separation from the source.
We instinctively crave re-connection to the oneness of our being, which we seek failingly in institutions such as marriage, society and such.
We desire this return to peace, yet we cower at the prospect of losing our "identity", our uniqueness, even when it's is originality of our anguish.
Like the drop at the edge of the leaf we quiver in trepidation of the unknown enormity of infinite undivided love and unity that waits in the depths below.
A time comes when the weight of our heavily burdened guilt becomes too great and we can but only take the plunge.
As our form dissolves into the unending community of the whole, we lose all sense of I and know only an eternally expanding awareness of joy.
Fear not, let go, for divinity is pining for our at-
tONEment.
Thanks OSHO for sharing the wisdom of the age s.

The mist is rising
The light evaporates the gloom
Light remains

Sometimes you just gotta laugh.
Thanks Maryse, thanks Tomohito, let's laught till we drop!
