The world as "we" know it

In the World but not of it

Maybe, just maybe, the world today is not quite what life is actually in reality all about.
Society and humans have created a slew of advancements which allow us to do what "I am" doing now-blogging. Connecting with the intention of relating and communing. This is indeed a human desire, but we have advanced on one level and yet remained ignorant on other planes of existence. Balance is coming, no need for fear or negativity on my part for our footprints on earth and set backs from our "true nature" that is the purpose of today's blog. Recognizing balancing is just through the next door. There is a since of urgency that is needed at the same time, without anxiety of course. The photo above was taken in Alice Keck Park in Santa Barbara on an amazing July weekend full of children laughing and playing together freely with no worries or concern of the global issues at hand. This is my purpose for reaching out. There is a need to "get it together" for the future of the next 7 generations, for their ability to remain free and not stuck with our out of balance and lack of consideration for our actions now.
I read an article in the AAA magazine,which very rarely do. Most often I toss it and cringe of the wastes, but somehow my attention found the "green" needs title to help the environment.
The astonishing news of how many people do not notice and take action towards simple things as replacing a lost,broken or loose gas cap is mind blowing. How much pollution this actually creates, it seems so elementary, yet..would you have thought of it. The education of our planet should take front row over other laws in our society. The requirements of the individual today are non-existing except perhaps to driving laws, paying bills etc. Holistic Lifestyle is not just for some, it is meant for us all and is the way to balance our new modern world.

The Absolute Actualization Method

Just reflecting on the past several months has brought me to recognize certain society needs
"Presence" and "Balance"
WhaWhWkdfjmWhat does it mean to be present? Self-aware?
grounded? "Have you been 'checking yourself'? Not tearing yourself
apart with criticism, but allowing yourself just to "be" whatever is pure and
natural. If you find anger, be with it. Not acting it out, but "be" with the feelings.
mean to be present? Are self-aware or does it go deeper?

I just completed my application for a school based out of Berkley, CA~~"The Ridwan School"
The "work", Diamond Heart Approach, is quite the study of presence and truth of our "true nature" beyond other society concepts/idealizations. In the raw essence of what it means to be human stripped of ego's wrath of judgements and complaints.

I attended a retreat for "the work". My first day of arriving at Asilomar invited me to create poetry to describe my inner digestion of "presence"

Diamond Heart Approach, How it is "Working In My Life"
Listening to my heart
~Presence~

Free from expectation I followed my heart.
Slowly as if a hand on my shoulder
Ever so gently,
Turning my body
Ever so intently.
My eyes immediatley focused upon a tree,
with branches reaching out to the heavens.
Without the feelings of a tree
Arms reaching
~ Look Up~Look Up
I see you,
I hear you
Your finally here
Thank you for seeing me.

On this retreat (Diamond Heart Approach) I am not a participant officially (yet)

I am here with my partner.. I will join this group in Oct.
Never the less.. I am here. Here I am I am only a "tag along" Yet feel as though my roots go deep within this work. My soul rejoices and my mind is enchanted in gratitude. I have arrived Meant to be here
~ Present
Still Smiling, Glowing, and Tingling

7:30am Stroll

The fog is lifting along with my spirit
To the depths of life's fullest rewards, being "present"
Feeling the warmth
Breathing the air
Stillness

These may or may not make a lot of sense to you as I may be merged in the dialogue of A.H.Almaas pen name for the creator of Diamond Heart Approach (from Kiwait,originally his --Ridwahn School in Berkley and talks given at schools in Colorado) He has is own dictionary online for his readers to use in understanding his take on everyday words.. to get his perspective on such words as: Presence,Essence, Pearl qualities, etc.. I am new to this work but a natural using my Flowing way of feeling my way to essence and intuition/imagination...
