Universal Law 3: Compassion

What is Love if not Compassion. As defined compassion is concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.


 


It has been too long since my last update. The miles and journey's have been swift as of late, and tonight's Blood Moon has me feeling frisky and combative.
Compassion and Patience are the prevailing words for the coming season and winds of change. They are also welcome for tomorrow is going to be very Bright. 
The galaxy that awaits for me will have a strong sun and come from the heart and essence that will become the next phase in the evolution of this blog and its observations.

 For the last 3 years I have been marooned on a planet of steel. while its properties are needed for protection against strong storms; and the majority of its inhabitants, and their influence goes beyond its immediate system of other planets, the core of many of their beliefs and prevailing ideas are outdated and need to be smelted once again. As are the main fundamentals of this particular galaxy. Racism, poverty, and the need to subjugate its citizens will only lead to uprising, and the reckoning is coming.Therefore, its time to relocate and explore.

It has come full circle for myself, and again I find myself going back to this Blog and this touches the very foundation of what I believe and hope to evolve into as a Traveler and Observer of this condition define as human.
So much of what i have seen, read, and listen too lately has been heartbreaking, misguided, yet enlightening as to the coarse and directions my transportation devices need to go. Not since 1992, have I been so excited for my next adventure. I can barely contain my tempered excitement. I also recognize that much of what is about to occur will have profound ripples throughout this galaxy and the next. Are you ready to be taken for a ride? Stay tuned,...

Until the next time,..Bumbas !

Why we stumble,...

Its been a while since I've written, and not because I have had nothing to say or have not seen or traveled. It's just my travels have not been glamorous. They have produced much fruit, but have been meant for my reflections as of late. I want to convey that traveling in this blog is not confined singularly to outward motion. Traveling as I define the notion is or can be inward, outward, upward, downward and across the human concept of time.

I have always included the present view, a larger view and a universal view to my blog posts, and when most travels include all three the experience is more easily shared. Over the last year the view has been grounded and focused in on the present, not the most excited, but the most necessary for this time. I have moved yet again, only instead of a living in a caravan, I have carved out a hill and decided to live and occupy a shire. Now like the thrust blocks of old, the foundation laid shall provide me the necessary momentum to radiate outward like the spokes of an old wagon wheel. This new land of iron and steel have provided the tools necessary to make a strong hub.

Yet, my focus has blinded me to the areas that surround and occupy this section of the universe, and when focus is too narrow the dark matter of the universe grows. Stars become less numorous and faint to see, because the light on my porch blocks is external and dims sight to look beyond myself for answers and all that I then see requires more work. Its then that I stumble.
In order for me to see beyond my own yard of existance and past my self serving deeds, I need not a porch light to look at the stars, but my own inner light. After-all, I was born with all that I need. It is this light, some would call a heart light, that adjusts my eyes in the darkness so that dark matter falls out of sight and the stars become bright again. It is also at this moment that I can plan a map so the deeds that I do start to serve others than just myself. I use my own faults and experiences to help define what everyone experiences from time to time because I try to recognise my own individual life as part of a bigger community connected by a singular source.
We, as humans stumble because we are not looking up or out. We stumble because we become so focus on what we need to do, to work, to strive, at this moment that we loose sight of why we work at all. The bigger picture. We stumble because sometimes all we can do is take the smallest steps to climb the steepest hill then we forget that instead of walking straight up, we can walk sideways and a circle around the mountain like a spiral staircase or soar like a bird caught in a windy updraft.

I may not be as gregarious as I once was as a lad, but I still have the eyes of a child,...

Bumbas,...Happy Trails!

New Spirits and "Religions", Reciprocity,..

If there exist a universal set of laws;
The first law and fundamental right given at birth to all humans is the ability or choice of freewill,...



The proper function of social networks is to allow freewill to flourish UN-encumbered and to only impose a few rules to allow the maximum of non-interference between humans, because not all humans function with the same ideology. It is this wonderful diversity that keeps the whole planet from becoming mundane and to keep us humans entertained, and not starved of boredom.

However, when like minded individuals get together, ego creeps in and then voices raise to promote, "who has the better agenda", as seen in the form of religion. Suffering is then sometimes caused by the conflict of non-recognition of ideas, and the non-recognition of universal freewill. Spirituality was born into modern society as a direct counter response to other peoples agendas. (Totally my opinion, so let's go with it), and my ideas of spirituality stem from my belief in universal laws., and that these laws super-seed any written by man in accordance to spiritual development. That is not to say I am ignoring the rules of social obligations or interactions but only to say that when it comes to the development of my 'soul-person' or my spirit or higher-self, universal laws prevail. Yet, there seems to be a disconnect from between 'what-is', and 'what can or should be', in the terms of human interactions and how society goes about it business. Religion is suppose to compensate and act as a bridge between spirit and the human condition. The question is, "how do we navigate", and function with other freewill-ed humans.


Now if there exist laws the governed spiritual development and they are universal, and these laws are in accordance to evolution of the human experience for development into a more 'cosmic' or universal being then religious teaching and spiritual awakening must also evolve as our human understanding evolves. So therefore "religions need to evolve as well, and then it only seems to proceed as there is a universal doctrine,... it may or may not explain "HOW TO', "Worship", but it would definitely have rules; which brings me to the point;
all ideas of religion or of spiritual development have a universal thread, common themes or ideas that seem to be acceptable to all that believe in some form of evolved spiritual development.

Universal law or rule two:
Reciprocity,...

"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you" (Analects: 15:23)

Reciprocity,...is an idea that Confucius had taught over 2,500 years ago; about the same time that Buddha was developing ideas about enlightenment. Reciprocity is also the teaching of goodness and translates into a way of governing the rule of freewill. Decision making and Freewill must also include some form of ethics, and the decisions we as humans and as universal spirits make in the exercise of freewill must correspond into some fundamental morality. Simply stated; every decision we make, we should ask ourselves, does this decision to act cause harm or suffering at ant point in time. Once asked, ...then we can exercise our right.


Universal Laws:
1. Freewill
2. Reciprocity
3. (...that's for another day)



Bumbas,...Happy Trails!
