New Years 2012

Dear Family and Friends - 

Namaste

This morning I met with friends and we chanted "Om Namah Shivaya" three hundred and twenty-four times. Personally to me this chant is saying "I bow to my true Self." Even if I repeated "I bow to my true Self" three hundred and twenty four times in English, it will take me into an altered place of consciousness - to remembering that I/you do indeed have a True Self - and that Self is a pretty damn special. I take to heart the meaning of words such as aloha or namaste - which in a greeting says "I see the love that is in you which is also in me."

So to begin this new year I say to you - Aloha and Namaste . . . and Om Namah Shivaya - I bow to your true Self . . . 

As a companion book to Shambala - The Path to Paradise, I have put together a collection of my poetry and short stories called Many Gods, One Heart.  I selected this verse to share as we enter the auspicious year of 2012.

Living love

As long as I can remember

I’ve wanted to see the can’t see Me

I’ve always wanted to step out of the box

Look under, over, and into it.

I’ve wanted to open my story book

And reveal the reason for my being

I am ready for dreamtime

That’s what the shaman do

They journey into the mystery

JB - the day before he left Chiang Mai

That is where want to go

I want to merge into the oneness

To have visions and allow words of wisdom

To flow through me

I want to share the revelations of love

I don’t care to be anyone else

I only want to be my Self.

The beautiful, eternal, wonderful Me.

Exactly as I was designed to Be

As long as I can remember

I’ve wanted to see the can’t see me

Maybe today I will surrender to the realization

That I Am the Revelation of Love

Come true

As I see you

Aloha & Namaste

With great love and blessings for the New Year,

the revelation of love
