Mind

Neil August 25th, 2010

The Way bears sensation,
Sensation bears memory,
Sensation and memory bear abstraction,
And abstraction bears all the world;
Each thing in the world bears feeling and doing,
And, imbued with mind, harmony with the Way.

As others have taught, so do I teach,
“Who loses harmony opposes nature”;
This is the root of my teaching.

Job 22 – the ancient light

Neil April 20th, 2010

Job 22 – New International Version – BibleGateway.com

26 Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty
and will lift up your face to God.

27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows.

28 What you decide on will be done,
and light will shine on your ways.

29 When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’
then he will save the downcast.

The Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible is considered the oldest book of the bible.  A very complex literary work dealing with the problem of evil.

I am being taught that light shines on the good way!

Concerning all acts of creation

Neil December 30th, 2009

The moment one definitely commits oneself

“Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth –

that the moment one definately commits oneself, then, Providence moves, too.”

–Van Goethe

The language of the artist

Neil June 4th, 2009

“The artist’s language is a sensual one, a language of felt experience. When we work at our art, we dip into the well of our experience and scoop our images. Because we do this, we need to learn how to put images back.”

Stop telling yourself you’re not creative

Neil June 1st, 2009

“Stop telling yourself that creativity is a luxury and that you should be greatful for what you’ve got.”

 

“Creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing that you must invent.”

have faith

Neil April 2nd, 2009

“Have faith in the photograph you want to make…

…and wait for it.”

- Ben Chrisman

unique sealed orders

Neil March 6th, 2009

“Throughout our lives each of us discovers more and more deeply our unique sealed orders, a way that only we are gifted to give and receive love.

When I am in touch with the special purpose of my life and carrying out my sealed orders, I have a profound feeling of consolation or rightness and my whole body relaxes.  I believe this sense of rightness expresses itself physiologically because the purpose of our life is built into the very cells of our body.

I have noticed this sense of rightness whenever I am in touch with our learning about the inner goodness of created things.  Loooking back, I realize that this has guided all my major decisions in life.”

Moments of desolation are equally instructive.

This very moment

Neil February 23rd, 2009

“This very moment is the perfect teacher.”

- Pema Chodron

be still with yourself

Neil February 6th, 2009

Be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence.

Mind Like Water: Matthew 6:22-23

Neil January 16th, 2009

Mind Like water : against darkness
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
