The Deep Hearts Core – Spiritual Direction for Difficult Times

Many of our greatest invitations to soul friendship come from the songs that we identify with. Many singer/songwriters are the bards, seanachie and outsiders of today.  They carry the messages of the culture that is invited to flower into existence.

One great bard and seanachie came from my father’s home town of Liverpool.  He was one of a group called The Beatles.  The fabulous four. Or, more commonly, The Fab Four! This singer song/writer/outsider was John Lennon. John once said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ. He got into very hot water about this statement.

Lennon was wrong, however. Christ has never been popular – not even amongst the established churches that ostensibly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. The historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth is popular but this is not the same as the less established experience that is the journey into Christhood. This is not popular at all,

When this journey in undertaken the established order is more often resistant to its invitation.  All great mystics of all religious traditions and I include those who were scientists felt the strong arm of ecclesiastical law when they courageously ventured into the mystery of what it is to be a Christed human being – a new kind of humanity.

And so it’s Christmas

And what have we done

Another year over and a

New one just begun.

These are the words of the bard John Lennon, who wrote them as part of a protest song.  Such is the work of the bard – to highlight injustice and invite peace on earth.

Christmas is a time of presents and gift giving.  The greatest gift that can be bestowed upon anyone is presence.  This is when one steps across the threshold of time and space into the knowing of eternity.  It is to live in the presence of the eternal now.

When you live from presence there is not another year over and a new one just begun. Time as you know it ceases to be and the eternal is known. This is what it means to be Christed – one who lives both in time and beyond time. This is not an historical, one-off event. It does not belong to a particular person in history.

However, that person in history who was Jesus of Nazareth, who became a Christed human being is one, if not the greatest, of invitations.  He is popular in the sense that there are millions of people on this planet who call upon his name. However, the name Jesus is a personal name and not the experience referred to when this master said, “When two are gathered in my name.”

The historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth was not asking us to believe in Jesus of Nazareth or worship his name.  That, as has been demonstrated, has led simply to institutionalism.  The far more radical and very much less popular invitation is included in the lines, “Greater things than these shall you do.”

This is the invitation to the new humanity that is the Christmas message of presence beyond time and space and form.  When enough of us have accepted this and are prepared to live it, then there will be what is intended to be – the second coming.  This is when enough individuals the world over are prepared to journey into the radical process of becoming Christed beings. In that sense, John Lennon was absolutely right. The Beatles were and still are more popular than Christ. Were it otherwise, heaven would be on earth and seen to be on earth.

Merry Christmas!

What is it that you are invited to reclaim? In a word – empowerment. Many people today suffer from a real sense of disempowerment.  Each day, via the media-radio, television, and newspapers – we are fed a feast of crisis of every variety.

To deal with this disempowering onslaught on the psyche, the individual armours their body against this attack.  You see this happening when it takes news of a greater catastrophe to invoke a similar level of emotional response. We experience a kind of catastrophe fatigue. This Irish storyteller can remember this phenomenon when living in Northern Ireland during the worst experience of tribal warfare in the 1960s and early 1970s.

Empowerment begins with attitude and intention.  Attitude and intention linked to symbols of power becomes beatitude.  If you have the attitude that you are powerless to change certain circumstances then that will be what you create. If you are connected to the one sense of power then you become miraculous.

We have forgotten who we are so we play small.  Wisdom teachers come from all times and traditions. They all ask us to reclaim what we think we have lost. They know, as any soul friend knows, that your real power is never lost but is awaiting your willingness to claim it.

Wisdom teachers, mystics, storytellers, bards, and séanachie, people who made a difference – they are all different from you or I. The modern mystic Andrew Harvey writes that each of us need not put people on a pedestal and think that we cannot become powerful agents for change for the highest good of all.  We have as much potential to make a difference as they do.

It is not helpful to think, “Oh, I am powerless to change X situation.” This is defeatist thought and is forgetful of your true power as a creative expression of love in form.  Every crisis is an opportunity. What was once a step up into a more glorious way of living becomes the resistance to the next step up. This is the birthing process of creation.  You can resist it or you can work with it.  Working with it does not mean that you have to like it – at least to begin with.

Every thought you think is a thought of creativity or is a thought of atrophy.  One embraces life and the other resists life.  In each moment you have the power to choice. Creation has given you talents to express.  When you say you have no power you disown you talent given to you by Creation. By thinking you have ‘no choice’ you make a choice.

You will never be punished for using such talents but you may suffer if you resist or deny them.  Your soul, which is your direct connection to the one creative power, will create through you.  It is interested in your magnificence and will constantly invite life’s expansion.

All wonder tales and fairy stories, all great art are charged with symbols. These are not quaint images from days of old. They cross all time and cultures as invitations to the timeless.  Your home is not just a short life span in time and space.  If it were, your power would be limited indeed.  But you are created from the stuff of eternity.  When you know this, as you can know this, then you will not feel so disempowered.

You, living as a human being on this planet, are the greatest symbol of creation in form.  You are no less than a unique sound of God.  You are already a resounding success because you have human form.  Do not waste this miracle of being here.  Give your life a symbol that is timeless and that can live through you in time.  Thus you reclaim your birthright and your power.  Do this consciously. You are already doing this unconsciously.

An Anam cara, a soul friend, invites you to live symbolically, metaphorically and to live the true power that flows within you. Then you will know what real power is beyond and from beyond.

There is a wisdom saying, “What you resist, persists.”

There is more this saying. It is this. What you resist intensifies.  You become in-tense and in tension. This is because you violate a fundamental universal law. This is the law that Love Expands.

This universe is expanding. It expands because it is Love and the nature of Love is expansion.  This creative expression has no beginning or end.  You have been born into form in order to allow creation to feel and be the knowing of Love.

When you resist you go against Love.  This does not mean you allow yourself to be a doormat. It does mean that you cease listening to your inner critic, which resists your creative expansion and thus your creative expression.

Recognise, however, that resistance is a gift.  It is what helps create growth.  Without resistance you might enter more and more deeply into your separate sense of self.

1. Honor Resistance

Resistance is what creates form from the formless. In order for the one to become two, which then becomes all things, the one has to be resisted. Resistance creates the big bang that began this universe. Without it, you would not be. Nor would life be as it is.  Resistance creates life and all life.

1. Do not judge resistance

Use resistance to grow in Love.  The growth of the mature spiritual warrior is through the alchemy of resistance.  The lead of anger is turned into the silver of unconditional regard and, as it moves deeper into the personality, into the gold of unconditional Love.

3.       Use resistance as a guide

When you are out of harmony with the source you will fee what you refer to as ‘bad.’  You will not experience the real movement of feelings that lead to ‘fineness.’ This is why you say you feel fine when you feel good, which is the same as saying when you feel G (o) od.

When you feel fine, the energy of the body is in free flow. It is not meeting resistance. Your work is really to commit to being an alchemist of Love. This is the work of the soul friend.

“Beyond the pale” is an Irish expression.  When people say that someone has gone ‘beyond the pale” they are not referring to the state of that person’s complexion.

The Pale refers to a place. Metaphorically speaking, it is a place that the culture does not approve of or sanction in some way.

With our modern culture’s intellectual and scientific focus we often are suspicious of those who know wisdom. We are tentative about magic, miracle and mystery because we cannot completely explain it or explain it away. Some think that because we cannot explain it that therefore it is not valid.

This storyteller has written and tells a story, Return to Tir Na Nog, about one who metaphorically lives beyond the pale. This is a wise woman who lives in a cottage that is one and a half miles from nowhere depending on which direction you are headed in.

A storyteller, a bard or séanachie of the old Celtic storytelling tradition was well respected in society.  They moved between the worlds coming from betwixt and between to issue invitations and calling cards to beyond the Pale. These were invitations to experiences beyond. They were invitations to magic and mystery.

The radiance of who we are has become diminished and in this way we are ones with a pale complexion. We have become shadows of our selves.  However, we have more opportunities than ever to become the unique outsider we are and live beyond the pale.

Living beyond the pale invites you to enter the wonder tale that is the wonder of YOU. All fairy tales are issuing this invitation.

The great oracle at Delphi invites you to go beyond the pale when it says, “To thine own self be true.”  She does not invite you to love your family, your culture, and your nation state.  She invites you to be true to ’thine own self.’  This is about being in creative flow rather than creating a static role that you identify as ‘little me.’

Beyond the pale invites the beyond to live in and through you.  This is life in flow with the way it is intended to flow through you.  We think that the beyond is beyond us and not that which creates all things, including ourselves.

Religion is intended to give you access to this beyond. Except that the wisdom teaching within this kind of storytelling has been taught to fit within the pale. This is within the pale dimension of the limitation of time and space. Religion has, throughout history, persecuted those who have ventured beyond. These are the mystics of all traditions.  These are the ones who have had the courage and commitment to be true to their Self (with a capital S) and ventured into the mystery.

Spirituality is beyond religion.  This is the invitation to become an individual inspiration. It is the invitation to uniquely express the spirit as it moves through you. This means you become your own authority in matters of the spirit.  In this way one goes beyond the pale.

The invitation to live beyond the pale is the invitation called the Anamcara Experience.

Unfortunately those who choose to refuse the call don’t have a life.

 -Joseph Campbell, Pathways to Bliss

The author goes on to say:

Either they do, or in trying to lead a more mundane life, they exist as non-entities, what T.S. Eliot called, “Hollow men.”

Campbell is quoting about the hollow men is from Elliot’s poem The Waste Land.  This wasteland exists in many people’s lives.  It exists in the lives of those who are by all accounts successful and have ‘made it.’

You may make it in your life situation but this does not mean that you have lived a life that love has intended that you live.  It does not mean you have followed the call to venture into the uniqueness you are intended to be.

It tends to mean that you live a paradox that is empty.  It is that you have been filled up with all sorts of information, roles and allegiances that are what you say is what you are ‘about.’ What is forgotten is the call to be what is authentic.  You are filled up but at the centre you are hollow.

As hollow men and women walking this cultural wasteland of never enough, we miss the experience of fulfilment.  We move around the world and what some wisdom traditions call these ‘hollow’ people hungry ghosts.

Imagine people who walk the world and have large open mouths.  They are always consuming but what they eat does not satisfy.  It does not touch their bellies.  So like those who are starving, their bellies are distended. They have large heads and are thin, even emaciated. This is a hungry ghost.

They are not walking in beauty – a Native American invitation.  They are walking the wasteland of never enough.  They are not in direct connection to a food source that the wisdom leader requests when he prays Give us this day our daily bread.  This is not the daily bread that is mostly a combination of vitamin pumped air and flour that we buy in our local shop as bread.  This is not what is referred to as the staff of life and is the very stuff of life.

To answer the call, “to be or not to be” will make you, like Hamlet, an outsider.  You have to choose to become all that life invites you into and the being of that wholeness. This means walking your unique beauty. This may at various stages feel anything but beautiful.  These very stages are known and within all traditional wonder tales and fairy tales there is assistance at hand to make the transition.

This time is a great time to be alive.  It is a time when you have choices to leave the wasteland of being a non-entity to quote Joseph Campbell and find your unique and wonder tale pathway to bliss. The invitation is always being extended but it has stages along the way that you are required to pass through.

Issue a calling card that will invite your authentic self and your authentic wisdom voice to journey on the real way to the treasure contained within such a call.

This is not the sort of advice you might usually expect from one you have asked for some creative problem solving. It is, however, the advice you could expect from an Irish storyteller versed in geancannach - love talking.

Much of the time we sit.  Many of us sit when we are at work. When we get home from work we might slouch on the couch.  What we tend to do is sit and think about our day and when we hit a problem we tend to begin a process of circular thought.  We think about X. We think about X.  Still the problem remains. Often ‘X’ seems to get bigger the more we think about X.

In some wisdom traditions this is referred to as monkey mind.  You mind becomes something that pulls your around and around on a chain.  It may appear that something is changing but all that happens is repetition. You are repeating patterns. This is not creative problem solving.

The solutions to problems often arise from what are called ‘Ah hah!’ moments.  The solution arrives whole.  It is not brought about through the process of linear thinking, which also tends to rehash the past in some form or other.  When the solution arrives you can genuinely say, “I would never have thought of that as the solution to my problem.”

In saying this you are giving recognition to the way problem solving works as a process.  One key aspect of this process is that you allow it to work through you.

This is the hard part for most of us.  We want our problem solved and we want it solved in our way.  This often tends to be the nub of the problem.  We resist the invitation to new possibilities. We refuse to stand aside and allow the creative intelligence that lives in us and through us to express in the way it is intended.

This sounds like you will have to relinquish control. This is exactly how it sounds. This creative intelligence created you as a unique sound and it intendeds to play this sound in this world.  When you resist this you stop feeling the resounding success that you are intended to be.

The key phrase here is intended to be. This intention arises from your very being.  It is the intention that created you in the first place.  It does not create problems. It creates solutions to creative invitations that are new ways of being in the world.

You are not separate from the creative process. You get into do-do because you constantly do-do. You are invited to relax, sit there and do nothing.  In not doing your mind can become still and the creative intelligence that longs to pour into you has an opportunity.

 So next time you want to creative problem solve and your mind says, “Don’t just sit there and do nothing!”- Take a creative leap into the unknown. Trust and sit there and do nothing.

As a storyteller interested in the creative process I was interested in an article I read on the web about the idea of becoming linear thinker rather than a circular thinker.  The writer was inviting us out of a habit of circular thinking into a more forward-looking way of living life.

In today’s world we do little else but think. We are constantly being invited to think forward, forward plan, to go forward.  We are asked to think about this and that and the other.  What if this is what is called circular though and that the more creative way to problem solve is not thinking about it at all.

“ Wait a minute there, buddy!” I can hear you asking, ”We should stop thinking?”

As I am a storyteller, you might expect the answer to that question to be in the form of a riddle or paradox, magic or mystery. The answer is “yes” and the answer is “no.”

There is a common expression today. It came out of the blue. This means the solution to a problematic situation came out of nowhere.  It just ‘sort of happened.’ One moment there was a problem and the next moment there was a solution.

This is creative intelligence at work.  But this type of creative intelligence is not about linear thought.

Blue is the colour of communication. Solutions to life’s problems come out of the direct connection to the source of creative intelligence that creates worlds for the joy of creation.

There is one essential ingredient that is too little mentioned in articles focused on goal setting and linear thinking.  This is an ingredient that most people in the modern western world are not good at doing.  They are not good at it for a number of reasons:

1. They have not been told about creative intelligence
2. They have been told about it but do not trust it
3. They give up after a time
4. They don’t even try it.

So what is this magic technique that is at the heart of creative problem solving?  It is that having given the issue some linear thought; you let go and trust in the process without dictating the result.  You become open to finding a new solution moving from the intelligence that creates all things out of nothing.

This is not forward planning but creating a space for that which is the flow of creative intelligence.  Forward planning tends to be a projection of the past into the future.  There may be differences but there will not be the “Ah hah!” moment that is beyond linear thinking. 

The creative process can be divided into four steps or phases:

1. Intention
2. Silent Waiting
3. Attention
4. Action

We tend to simply engage with only two, or at best, three of these steps.  These are all needed but the whole process is more than the sum of the parts.  If you leave out one part of the process you disconnect from the creative intelligence that longs to flow through you.

Your ‘mo anam cara’ (my soul friend) is more than simply your latest romantic flame. They are more on fire and they will set you afire with passion and guide you toward compassion.

A mo anam cara invites you to realise your deepest inspiration.  Your anam cara is a friend of your spirit, your creative sense of self.  They are committed to realising the potential that resides within you.

So, how do your recognise a mo anam cara?

You sense yourself coming alive when you are around them.  You sense that when they are talking to you that something new is being born within you. You feel valued for who you are and not simply for the role you are playing – be that the role of husband, wife, partner, mother, teacher or any other role that you may play in that person’s life.

A mo anam cara is interested in flowering one thing in your life that is your birthright.  This is your direct knowing of the timeless dimension within you.  They invite you to the Source of unlimited creative potential within you.

It is likely that your personal mo anam cara is an older person, although I have met with mo anam cara younger than myself.  The Christian tradition of appointing a godparent is really the appointment of a mo anam cara for a child at the time of the baptismal rite.

While the rite of christening is done with water, the mo anam cara invites you to be Christed through fire. This is the fire in what Christians term the Holy Spirit. The mo anam cara invites the flame of Love to burn within your heart. For example in myth of Avalon, the wizard Merlin is King Arthur’s mo anam cara.

Many people sentimentalise the concept of mo anam cara. They confuse it with a deep attachment to a romantic partner that is commonly called a ‘soul mate’.  This is not to say that there cannot be a romantic attachment that also leads to soul friendship, but that may be rare.  If the mo anam cara is to run its full course the anam cara will send you on your own way.  They will cut ties to you so that you can journey to the Source alone. In the film ET, the Extra Terrestrial leaves the earthling family after sharing a mo anam cara experience with the children.

In movies such as Star Wars, Yoda is Luke Skywalker’s mo anam cara.  Gandalf is Frodo’s mo anam cara in The Lord of the Rings. This meeting with a soul friend is well illustrated in the story “Return to Tir na Nog” as detailed in The Anamcara Experience – Ready to Radiate eCourse.

Your mo anam cara will appear often in a crisis and not before.  You have to be a little humbled before you will open your heart and mind to the new.  This is illustrated in the story of the student who goes to the Zen master and tells the master about all they know.

Your mo anam cara is a heart friend.  Sometimes there will be a kind of recognition but you will not know where it comes from.  I have had this experience only once.  It was with a young Dutchman called Fredo who I met when travelling in India.  We met only briefly but he is still a very fond remembrance. We each felt that we had known each other forever. There was a deep bond felt between us that was out of time.

Mo anam cara translates as “my soul friend.” It does not translate as my best friend or my soul mate. Most people confuse the two and then do not do the work that is required for the mo anam cara relationship to be birthed within them and between another.

The word ‘soul’ is the key word within this phrase mo anam cara. Your soul is not a thing. It is a way. It is your unique way of being in the world that was and is intended for you by Creation.  This way of being in the world is not your way of doing.  It is not your job or your career.  It is what the Buddha meant when he said, “your work is to find your work and do it with all your heart.”

Your Work (with a capital W) is a treasure unique to you. It is what the wonderful teacher Joseph Campbell refers to when he invites you to “follow your bliss.”

What Joseph Campbell goes on to tell you about being a soul friend is that following your unique way is often anything but blissful.  In fact, it sometimes appears and feels like all hell breaking loose.  Sometimes this is only a minor crisis of confidence and other times it is a form of soul initiation. 

You are being invited to become an initiate in the way that life wants to express uniquely through you. Of course, your family, community, your peer group, your religious affiliates and national group may all tell you that such direction indicates that you may be coming apart at the seams and that maybe you ought to reconsider this direction.  Sometimes this is subtle, but it can be done as a threat.

Your mo anam cara is versed in the stages of growth in human form.  They may not have experienced all these stages in their completeness but they have been graced the knowing of such stages.  Each stage has its joys and challenges.  The joys of one stage become the challenges of the next stage.  The mo anam cara is there at these various junctures or crossroads or what in mythology is referred to as ‘threshold places.’

The poet Christopher Logue wrote this in homage to Guillaume Apollinaire and it beautifully illustrates the work of your mo anam cara.

“Come to the edge,” he said
“We are afraid,” they said
“Come to the edge,” he said
And they came to the edge.
And he pushed them
And they flew

The mo anam cara is not interested in pushing you.  They are not out to improve you.  They are there to guide you and invite you.  You are under no obligation to them and are under no obligation to take their advice.

It is their very presence that will invite you to go to the edge. What they are the knowing of and living of  (which is their own unique way) you want to know.  This is the invitation to fly into the timeless dimension that is true security and from which you can share a sense of the limitlessness of love.

The mo anam cara is a sort of midwife to the soul. The soul is a timeless birthing of the forever new. It is the birth of love in action. Like birth into physical form there is resistance and pain.  Your mo anam cara assists you t breath into this new potential that longs to come through and live through you.

This is more than romantic.  This is a Love that shares itself beyond the confines of two egos living as separate senses of themselves drawn together by a bond of love and friendship.  Without the soul element you have not yet claimed your birthright of living in the Land of the Forever Young.

Do feel ready to claim your right to wear the circle of gold called the mo anam cara ring? This ring represents a commitment to yourself, to the forever creative within you.  It is a commitment to wed your own heart’s longing to express Love in action.

I am a reflection of mind within Mind. I am as a wave on the ocean of I AM. The purpose of creation is to create. Creation is expansive. It arises from the energy of Love and its expansion and expression is joy.

Thus it is that I am co-creating with the One Mind that is I AM. The next question is then what I am I going to create?  In what way am I prepared to actively claim this power for the highest good?  This is not passive but a sense of empowered responsibility. It is Divine. It is enlightened responsibility. Responsibility implies responding directly to the moment.

The emphasis here is on non-passive reflection. This means a willingness to claim this power of creation that is everyone’s birthright. This is a powerful responsibility. One is required to exercise a true sense of humility. The word humility is rooted in ‘grounded on earth.’

So in this reflection I am moving towards the active. Andrew Harvey calls it…….activism. It is action on behalf of Love. It is committed to the instruction The Course in Miracles, “Teach only Love for that is what you are.” It means being committed to the sayings of Rumi that ” let the beauty you are be what you do.”

Is Leonard Cohen saying that there is one song he has yet to write and sing? When written is that it? There are clues to what he is really talking about in the above four lines.

Try this exercise now. Read the above four lines again. Then shut your eyes. Now remove one word from the four lines in order that the great song can be sung.

There is one word in the above four lines that open this article that will make all the difference to whether or not the great song is ever sung in your life time. I suspect that Leonard Cohen, as the songwriter/singer/poet he is, knows the answer.

These four lines might at first seem depressing. They intimate at the fact that there is death. Not the most scintillating dinnertime topic of conversation. Yet it is part of geancannach, part of the love talking. You cannot talk of real love without the holy trinity of birth, life and death.

These four lines are more like an invitation provided you know the way in which they are to be read. To accept this invitation is to accept the invitation contained in great books of wisdom such as the Bible, the Sutras of Patageli, The Dhamapada, the Torah, and such modern classics as The Impersonal Life.

Take, for example, the Gospel of St. John. This is the most mystical invitation in the Bible. If you read it literally you will miss its heart invitation. If you read the above four lines literally then you will miss the invitation to the great song that wants to sing through you.

So let this writer unpack this invitation to singing the great song contained in these lines. First, the poet laments, which means that he cares. He has enough courage to feel the absence of the great song. He has enough sense of self to know that there is something missing. Maybe he doesn’t know exactly what it is but he is aware that he is not complete. Most of us, when we get to this point fill the experience up by going shopping, having another drink, finding another relationship or simply dying a little more inside.

The first line says

My time is running out

This is reality in form. Time in the body, no matter what age you are, is running out. This can be something to avoid or embrace. If you avoid it your time will run out. If you embrace it you have the opportunity to become aware of the true reality- this is that you are timeless.

What is the one word that changes the invitation of these four lines? The word is ‘my.’ The reference to time is related to ‘my.’ Time only runs out as long as there is ‘my time.’ But then you might ask, “Well, if there is no ‘my will’, do I cease to exist?” The answer is ‘no.’ ‘You’ will cease to exist as a thought of separateness. When this sense of separateness is gone, the body is still here, the mind is still here, and the feelings are still here.

When the sense of ‘my time’ is released, everything is really the same, but nothing is the same. This is confirmed in the Zen saying, “Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” It is hard for the rational mind to accept that life can be experienced without one who experiences. You might say that there is nothing left, but mystics will tell you, this writer will tell you, that what is left is everything. What is left is everything loving forever.

What then is experienced is the great song. This experience is a paradox. It is a true song but it is forever unique. When it is sung through you time never runs out. What does run is the idea that the great song and you were ever separate. When time runs out you enter the timeless. This is where harmony reigns supreme. No song will ever say what this feels like.

You work on this planet is to allow the great song to sing through you. Then you will know what it is to live as someone living in a body in time while knowing you are the Timeless.

The Anamcara Experience is the invitation to you to learn to allow the great song to sing through you. This is the song your soul invites and which you resist. Until you learn to allow this song to sing through you your time is running out even if it appears not.

This Anamcara has written the Ready to Radiate course as an invitation to geancannach, heart talking. Your heart and the universal song that created you so that it can sing a unique not through you have to be on the same wavelength. This wavelength is not about becoming more informed. It is about a way of seeing and feeling. It involves the practice of heart language.

This invitation is available now. You can try and buy time but there is a better way. It is the way of the timeless. It is your birthright and the one answer to time running out.

My time is running out
And still I have not
Sung the true song
The great song.

- Leonard Cohen, The Book of Longing

In this Anamcara Experience blog we focus on geancannach, which means love talk. This is a practice of raising consciousness, a practice of keeping good vibrations happening to us.

There are many ways of doing this. Our focus is on song, poetry, storytelling and practice. Sometimes this writer will concentrate on lines from a poem. Presently this focus tends to be on lines from songs. These can be new songs or old songs.

The lines quoted above are from the wonderful singer/songwriter/poet Leonard Cohen. Here is a man famous the world over, particularly with people my age – the 60’s and early 70’s hippies- for writing powerful poems and songs. Yet here he says that he has not yet sung the true song – the great song.
