My idea of Nirvana

Looking at the world through the eye of a Lotus being is a wonderful ting! My idea of Nirvana is Water Lily and beautiful nymphs of the Water Elementals. Beautiful beings water nymphs like newts are to the Salamander which is said to like a cauldron on a fire bubbling away. Half woman or wholly woman stood in the water much like the Mer people with the webbed feet. Or is it a tail of a fish or dolphin or whale perhaps depends how well you know them I spose and where they are at the time!!
Lotus flowers come in all kinds of colours White, Pink and Blue indeed the sacred Blue Lotus of the Nile in Egypt is said to be shamanic. At ease when all is safe and well there on Earth and in the Universe. Sacred Chiron the Cenataur half horse or pony and half human it's said. There are also magical creatures called Minotaur when you see half bull halfman! The Palace at KNossos in Krete or Crete to Her Christian friends is where there is a Minotaur in the maze beneath the palace so it is said. I once flew to Crete on an airplane and landed in Crete where I found a lovely place amongst the Greek Isles. I was young back then in the eighties just a mere schooly! It was an organised trip by the teachers at the ST Gabriels School at Sandleford Priory since then which has turned beautifully co-ed!
My own brother went to Kindergarten there but he left for St MarksSchool, Cold Ash. Good place I once visited with mother to make some peppermint creams with the children during my extra holiday weeks. We were given more holiday time for working so hard during term time. Good News Bible was the core RE text, religious education to you and me. Some did RS, religious studies but I did religious practice beyond reading the Bible so thoroughly which was nice. I like thinking each to their own when it comes to any kind of Theology. The study of religion!

Where were we, my idea of Nirvana well that all depends on the way though the thicket in life. What I'm thinking is how to survive Life as a human being forever like. Some say Samsara some say Nirvana some say Shalimar however to leave the world is to come back for more split second timing. Nirvana can in my belief be reached while alive and well, fit healthy and alive! The more readily you live your life the more hope I will have of the future.

Peace is......

Peace is...

Everything

In your heart

In your man's eyes

In your disguise

Hold peace in your heart

You'll find all else is easy

Life's a swim in the ocean

Love and devotion

In motion

A notion

Peace is....

All that Is

Truly in the Universe

Become at One

you've found fun

"You have truly understood

The meaning of nirvana"

We sail the winds of paradise

We hoist the sails on high

Boom tastic

Warriors

Of peace

Sailors of the seven seas

Dancing through the waves

White horses riding

Gracious and kind

Be of mind

Be mindful

Be caring

Be true to your heart

For ahead there are calm waters

With the moonlight 

Like bright sparks

Blessed be

Buddha - the middle way

One of the teachings of Buddha is the "middle way!"
This essential understanding of life is to find perfection in the All that Is. By believing in your life and the perfection of the soul, the world and everything you become focussed on the Now and the essence of the moment. This focus on being grounded in the now is essential to finding the Middle Way.
Some talk of good, some of evil, however to find the place inbetween the worlds where all is perfect is to find the Middle Way. The whole point is find your own personal viewpoint, the place where you see your world from, a personal thing is perception. This way of looking at things is to appreciate the inherent perception of life beyond duality, beyond war, beyond prejudice, beyond....
This place of peace is found in Our hearts and minds naturally and will always be there will always be so. Once you have found your own personal way of seeing the world, once you have appreciated your own heart for life you can see beyond into the world of Nirvana. This is to find the Middle Way.

How we venture through life is from a personal perspective and the more we become centred in our hearts and the more life gives us joy the greater the light of our world.
Give and receive in abundance.
As we do unto others so shall life be for us.
"What goes around comes around!"
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
All these help us to understand the Universal Law of Karma!
Karmic ties to our family, to the past all affect our present and our future. There are chants to break negative Karma such as;

Om Vajrasattva Samaya
Manu Palaya
Vajrasattva Deno Pa Tita
Dido May Bhava
Suto Kayo May Bhava
Supo Kayo May Bhava
Anu Rakto May Bhava
Sarva Siddhi May Prayatsa
Sarva Karma Su Tsa May
Tsittam Shriyam Kuru Hum
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ho Bhagavan
Sarva Tathagata Vajra Ma May Mun Tsa
Vajra Bhava Maha Samaya Sattva Ah Hum Pey

This mantra taken from a book by Lillian Too called "Mantras and mudras" is related to the Buddha of Purification Vajrasattva. Keep this Buddha in mind when you chant for your karma to be purified.  the chant should be made 28 mantras.

There is a shortened version which you should chant 108 times;
Om Vajrasattva Hum

Life is personal!

Many ask "What is the meaning of Life?"

All we think, do or say matters. Life can be perfect if we live as good people respecting one another and caring for Our world. We as human beings deserve the right to be treated with fairness and kindness. We are all created by the heavens and are sacred to the ones who truly love Us, the Lord and the Lady, the Angels and Ascended Masters.

As we go about Our day, we are mindful of all we do. Our personal everything counts! Life is beginning for us humans, we are living a world of co-creation. We are able to create paradise around us if we so wish. Our goals are becoming golden!

As we journey life's pathway, we reach a place of peace, a place where everything matters, where life can and is beautiful! Personally I find life to be everything you make it! Once you find your own inner peace, everything else falls into place. Nirvana is there when you seek it!
