Love Has No Opposite.

"In close relationships, it is important to emphasise a secure attachment bond and the co-regulation of emotional activation. Practising kindness toward our partners, listening to what is alive for them, caring for their suffering, and holding them during difficult times. Allowing them to matter, taking the risk to share our own vulnerability, and prioritising connection. It is also essential to be on the lookout for unhealthy fusion, honouring the reality that we are not only connected, but also separate. Any secure attachment must include healthy differentiation, where at times the most skilful activity will be to enact firm boundaries, actively assert our independence and needs, and be willing to disappoint others. While the concept of oneness is alluring, true oneness does not exist without embodiment to multiplicity or without a radical embrace of the chaos, contradiction, and darker revelations of the spectrum of love.  The wise navigation of opposites – staying within th...

I 💗 This Story, To.

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 A bedtime story, for adults. “Tell me again what happened after the fires burnt all the forests all over the world and the koala bears all died, Granny.” “Well, my lovely, it was a turning point, that moment. We woke up to the news that koalas were nearly all gone and something in us snapped. It was bad up to then. Really, really, really bad. All the big forests of the world were on fire. The arctic was melting really fast and it felt like people were at war with everything else on Earth. We didn’t have forests full of deer. You couldn’t drink the water in the rivers. We still had that beautiful bird with the big curved beak, the curlew, here but there were hardly any left. All the birds and insects were dying. In those days, you could pick up a rock and not find a single worm or beetle underneath. But we were pretending it wasn’t real. People found it really hard to imagine the Earth could really be dying. We were still g...

How Wonder Full Is Life? If You Choose To Create The Humble Space....

“Awakening is not a path for the faint of heart.💚 You will be humbled. Oh yes. Brought to your knees. Many, many times. What you thought you knew will occasionally dissolve into nothingness. Your most brilliant insights, your astonishing expertise, your life’s work, it can all crumble to the ground. Sometimes without warning. You will be asked to begin again, and again, and again. And again. (Did I say, this is not a path for the faint of heart?) Oh yes, you will touch the bliss and joy of existence, for sure! You will laugh at the simplicity of things, some days, of course! But you will also be asked to confront your deepest fears, face the darkness and the night within, go to the places where the unloved creatures dwell. You will step into pockets of grief you never knew were there. You will cry a billion tears for the lost and abandoned children, within and without. You will rage to the sky, to your parents, to all the teachers who failed you, to the lies you were fed, to the o...

An Invitation To Consider This Story. If You Dare Unlearn The Patterns.

Image
Burton guides the reader to unlearn, rediscover, and return to wholeness.  It is a journey out of Plato’s cave… The International Review of Books "Sharpen your mind, reframe your perspectives, and unleash your full human potential RD Laing presented madness as a voyage of discovery that could open out onto a free state of higher consciousness, or hypersanity. But if there is such a thing as hypersanity, then mere sanity is not all it’s cracked up to be, a state of dormancy and dullness with less vital potential even than madness. We could all go mad, in a way we already are, minus the promise. But what if there was another route to hypersanity, one which, compared to madness, was less fearsome, less dangerous, and less damaging? What if, as well as a backdoor way, there was also a royal road strewn with petals and sprayed with perfume? This is a book about thinking, which, astonishingly, is barely taught in formal education. Our culture mostly equates thinking with logi...

The hypersane are among us,  if only we are prepared to look "Both mental disorder and hyper-sanity place us outside society,  making us seem 'mad' to the mainstream.  Both attract scorn and derision, but whereas mental disorder is distressing and disabling,  hyper-sanity is liberating and empowering. Ultimately, standing out is the price we pay for being outstanding." by Neel Burton "Games, games. Here's some games.. Games, they vegitize you. If you play the games, you're voluntarily taking a tranquilizer.... Wackos everywhere, a plague of madness.  In fact, very few, very few of us here are actually mentally ill. I'm not saying you're not mentally ill, for all I know, you're crazy as a loon.  But that's not why you're here. That's not why you're here. That's not why you're here! You're here because of the system. There's the television. It's all right there — all r...

The intensity of this new light will hold no shadow. So yes, it is an extremely fragile, beautiful & powerful time that we are living in. We must return to things that really matter, to our connection of all things seen and unseen & know that there are more realities than this one. We must learn to walk in balance, live in reverent intimacy with nature & create a world that we can offer with love to our children & their children & on. The ancient people know this. The indigenous cultures on our planet have continued to live in this manner, despite insurmountable difficulties. They know that what we call death/destruction was just a natural passage in the cycle of new life, regeneration & transformation. It was nothing to ...

Lead Learners.

How good is learning? With and from a room full of co-learners? All at different stages. Of learning. All learners present for the aligned reason? They chose to BE there, they want to learn, and they care. About learning. Learners may desire to; leave the learning having been exposed to NEWNESS, be exposed to the next step on the endless spectrum and spiral of that oh so real ancient cliche of "life long learning" Learning is NOT mastery. Learning is MESSY Learning is not ONE final test Learning is iterative. baby step motivated towards your intrinsic goal Learning is noisy, chatty, sharing, laughing, trying, failing forward and never giving uppppp! Learning is quiet, contemplative, solo, revising, hitting The Books, silent, introspective, expansive. How good is learning?

Wildfire Indigenous Wisdom

Image
Aboriginal people passed on stories orally as they knew no writing. Listening to the story teller was vital to reproduce the story accurately to the next generation of story-tellers. Deep listening describes the processes of deep and respectful listening to build community—a way of encouraging people to explore and learn from the ancient heritage of Aboriginal culture, knowledge and understanding. Deep listening is also called Dadirri in southern Queensland. The Aboriginal writer   Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann  describes Dadirri as follows: “Dadirri is inner, deep listening and quiet, still awareness.  Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us.  We call on it and it calls to us.  This is the gift that Australia is thirsting for.  It is something like what you call ‘contemplation’.  When I experience dadirri, I am made whole again.  I can sit on the riverbank or walk through the trees; even ...

The Gauche That Stops A Nation ... Human(e) Entertainment?

May all the horses that have died  in the name of profit, gambling  and human entertainment  Rest In Peace. @rethinkthecup   #NupToTheCup “122 horses died on Australian racetracks from August 2018 to July 2019, and says the fate of horses off the track – the foals that do not make it, broodmares discarded through sales and retired racehorses bought by kill buyers – is worse.” #nuptothecup https://t.co/3lkaXZOb9v — TonySearl (@TonySearl) November 4, 2019   Melbourne Cup: trashy, gauche; falling over pissed; single use plastic.

Today, Be Still, Feel The Silence In Nature and Within.

Image
"Today I’m flying low and I’m not saying a word. I’m letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep. The world goes on as it must, the bees in the garden rumbling a little, the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten. And so forth. But I’m taking the day off. Quiet as a feather. I hardly move though really I’m travelling a terrific distance. Stillness. One of the doors into the temple" by Mary Oliver

Sweet Sunshine Kiss

"Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy." extract from Sonnet 33 by William Shakespeare Neither seeker nor follower nor friend or blood kindred, we, lover all simply sit silent still, nature quiet,  so content.  Eyes kinder filled alive full sea a soft cherry sunrise   taste a salted next swell. Salute nascent morn  to simply be as you are  to this Our True Nature's  a shared glory to all, no hiding, just dancing as a flickering light grows full sure  a rising, a shining,  light zephyr on shore,  As set shadows now shorten to sea,  We thank dawn breaks have risen some more.  Our swell Point waves and surfs so sweetly A grounding, this rising, living life so completely.
