OUR AIMS
Perhaps many of us have forgotten how it felt when we were
young. When just walking to school was often an adventure. Those were days
when we were ready to burst out laughing at any moment. When reading that special
book was such a thrill that our hearts beat faster.
Perhaps many setbacks have made us more
skeptical than we once were. Perhaps a little more cautious.
When last did you pick up a handful of good soil and let it
trickle down between your fingers? Do you remember that feeling? What about
coming across an apple tree, while on a walk and tasting one of its
delicious fruits?
Whatever is happening to you, be aware, at all times, that
life is a journey and that we here on this site want to be with you on your
walk. Yes, we’ll be with you as long as you need a companion and on the way, we’ll
talk.
Come, there’s much to be discussed and many thoughts to be
exchanged. There’s some exploring that we could do together and above all, there
are many joys to be discovered.
DO YOU REALLY RESPOND
TO YOUR INNER INSPIRATIONS?
To care about people is an admirable attribute.
After all, compassion, consideration and courtesy are the fundamentals that
make relationships work. At the same time, however, you may have nagging doubts
about whether you’ve risen to your greatest
heights. It’s that eternal dilemma. Do we brush
those disturbing but challenging thoughts aside and say something like “OK…but
not now…maybe tomorrow…I’m kind of busy right now”?
Do we read enough and discuss enough of what we’ve read? Do we go on the internet
to look up details of works of art and read about some great artist? Do we
listen to that brilliant new violinist? Is there a mountain that we’ve wanted
to climb? Have we dreamed of studying an ancient culture but never gave the subject
our full attention? Wouldn’t the design or possession of cultural jewelry release
ancient passions that have lain slumbering deep within ourselves for far too
long?
How do you feel about your own self-realization? Have you been nurturing or
perhaps given free reign to that sparkling core that lies at the heart of your
being or has something stopped you? Let’s exchange some thoughts, shall we?
ARE WE LIVING IN TWO ENVIRONMENTS?
It seems that during our life times, we’re
beginning to find realize with some shock that we no longer exist in our
familiar one world but in two. We now seem to be in two worlds and they appear
to be in increasing states of conflict. If this is really so, then it must be
very important to become aware of and understand the natures of these worlds.
In my mind, I see the two environments as being something like this.
One world is the outside physical one. Its environment seems to be becoming
increasingly chaotic and harsh. It’s a world where more frequently slabs of
polar ice crash into the sea and these crashes are symbolic of the declining
standards of tolerance and ethics all around us.
The other world represents our own inner selves. There is a
deep spiritual yearning within each of us and it is clear that this yearning is
being felt more and more throughout the whole world. It seems that millions
of people all over the globe, in many different countries and with many
different cultural backgrounds and ambitions, are feeling a desperate need to
get into touch with their inner spiritual needs.
All around us we are seeing catastrophic weather patterns,
devastating religious conflicts and world wide cultural hatred has never seemed
so intense. Yet at the same time, there is a deep spiritual yearning within
each of us. This yearning is felt throughout the whole world.
We look for truths and sometimes find them in the
strangest places. I often go into the bushveld, just to be near animals and
birds and while there to look at the most wonderful varieties of trees, shrubs,
grasses, rivers, ravines and meadows. These gifts from God that remind us of
His eternal message to us and remind us of the journey that He has asked us to
embark on.
Do you too want to feel total joy deep down within you and to share it with
others?
