so necessary... proclaiming to no one but oneself... i really need... and i is a big 'we'... a spiritual ecology, vibrational ecology, a global approach...not just to the globe, but to global being, to being, globally... some ecological balance in this frayed jungle of thoughts, concerns, worries, realizations... some harmonizing of the urgent work both inside and out that all we double agents-of-change are bound to do -- at once inside and out-- undercover but overly uncovered-- one might say, exposed to the elements... here's to a-hopin' and a-prayin' that the great indoors --the vast heart of the human being-- recover its warmth in hopes that the great outdoors can start to cool off... it's all heat from war of the minds who have forgotten how cool and refreshing it is when it's quiet, in the great indoors, the central peace can erase all the edgy wars... it's the mind that's globally too hot, and the heart globally in need of warmth... it's from the overly-hot mind, all the heat from explosions, from the burning, from the external combustion of the ifs, ands and butt-headed egotists we are, hard-hatted and hard-heartedly delirious in our little cages of self-interest. banging on the bars like worn-out gongs from an unforged monastery-- if we hear nobody's listening then at least it's clear that the work begins at home... we can hear all music once the listener is united...

Ho! Beautifully seen and said. I join you in your "a-hopin' and a-praying" and in the heart that illuminates and melts the mind's fears and habits, and listens through stillness to the songs of silence. Yes, I too sense that what is happening ecologically is a physical manifestation of the mental broadcasts of I and we. May we listen ever-closer to that broadcast, individually and collectively, so that we can hear the symphony within the cacophony and find the oneness that in our conscious embrace and reflections will transform our creations.

Love, namaste and deep bows,

Ellen

Kudos David...

Seyyed Hossein Nasr writes: "Nature has not only displayed the wisdom of God through her order and harmony but has also carried out incessantly a discourse about those spiritual realities that constitute the very substance of our existence. Her order has been nothing other than our order, and her harmony that inner harmony which still chants the eternal melody at the center of our being despite the cacophony of our ego dispersed in its world of forgetfulness. The limbs of nature are our limbs, her life our life, and her destruction our destruction."

Tom Cheetham adds: "...The 'real work' for us is simultaneously a spiritual, ethical and physical struggle. 'Like' can only be known by 'like': this means that thought and being are inseparable, that ethics and perception are complementary. The form of the soul is the form of your world. This fundamental unity of the faculties of human cognition and the world to which they give access is that eternal pagan substrate of all religion... This sympathy is at once perceptual and cognitive and requires an attitude towards reality that the modern world has nearly completely forgotten. It is a stance towards reality that gives weight to the display of the image, denying the schism between the inner and the outer, the subjective and the objective... There is a balance, an 'essential community being visible and invisible things' and it is the function of theophanic perception to reveal this community as it is within the power of each being to perceive. To train our senses to recognize this community even dimly, is to begin to realize the 'cognitive function of sympathy' and to sense in the presence of the beings of this world the harmonies that resonate through all the worlds beyond. To live in sensate sympathy with the beings of the world requires that we experience the spaces that extend singing between the Terrible Majesty of the Unattainable Deus absconditus and the Beauty and Glory of the Deus revelatus."
