Melbourne at 40

My joy has become a reflection of my son 

With him not around, I do not enjoy the amusements 


I glance at the aquarium and think what’s the point in seeing caged animals without a young mind to see it for the first time 


My days of pub are over and I can clearly see who is young and am pretty sure they do not see me!

Am not complaining, I see the them in a very different way. No desire, maybe a little envy


Getting old maybe hard in many ways, I need to think twice on whether to go on a ride or not, and mostly abstain

Late night drinks are definitely out of the menu


Thought about going to a gentleman’s club to re-remember wild days, decided to abstain for a later day. That will be more fun! 


I walked past the river, sat in a bench and glazed the sky for a while. Was a little disappointed with the colour it adorn, yet led me to a place of happiness. The sea gulls flying over, ducks gathering with their family, sun setting ever so slowly, and the blanket of night pulling over the cold sky. Wild days maybe over, resilient health maybe past, but peace and joy is always around us in the very non-enchanting moments in the lap of an uneventful nature. 


That’s being mel-born at 40… 😄

Dad's words of wisdom

The below passage is an unedited copy of a scribble of Dad, picture attached towards the end -

Meditate and bless the Earth with loving kindness simultaneously through the heart and crown chakras

After activating the crown chakra, simultaneously concentrate and be aware of the crown and heart chakras, and bless the earth with loving kindness for a few minutes. This will align both chakras, thereby making the blessing much more potent. Imagine the small earth in front of you. Visualize a golden light from your hands down to the earth filling the whole the whole earth with light and love; you may use this blessing. From the center of the heart of God. Let the entire earth, every person, every being be blessed with divine love and kindness. 

Feel the divine love and kindness and share these with the whole earth, every person and every being. 

    Let the entire earth, every person and every being be blessed, with divine sweetness, divine joy, with        warmness, caringness and tenderness. 

Feel the sweet, loving feeling and share it with the whole earth.

    From the center of the heart of God, let the entire earth, every person and every being be bless with        the     inner healing, inner beauty, divine bliss and divine oneness. 

Feel the divine bliss and divine oneness and share these with every person and every being

Achieving illumination by meditation on the light, on the manthra OM or Amen, and on the interval between the two OMs or Amens. Put your hands down, gently imagine a brilliant while light or golden light on the crown. Look at gently and lovingly. Feel the quality of the energy emitted by the light. Feel the inner peace, stillness and bliss. 

Gently and silently chant the manthra OM or Amen. "Oooooommmmm .... oooooommmmmm ....oooooommmmm .. "

What is the purpose of OM? To select the higher channel, there by increasing the rate of vibration and shifting the consciousness to a higher level. 

Meditate simultaneously on the light and the mantra. Then meditate on the interval between OMs. Meditate on the interval between two OMs and simultaneously be  aware be aware of the light, the stillness and the bliss. Continue meditating for about 10 minutes, relax and let go. 

Do not be frightened if you experience and inner explosion of light in the head. When you are able to be aware simultaneously of the point of the light and the interval between the two OMs, you will experience this. Your entire being will be filled with light. You will have the first glimpses of illumination and first experience of divine ecstasy. The experience of Buddha consciousness or illumination to experience and understand when Lord Jesus meant when he said "when thine eye is single, the whole body also shall be full of light... for behold the kingdom of heaven is within you" (Luke 17-21)

If you feel you are being pulled out of the body or you are moving inside a tunnel, just allow the experience to unfold by itself until you experience oneness with the light. Should you experience pervasive darkness or the great void, the is good. This is simply a transition between ordinary consciousness and the expansion of consciousness. Just relax and be calm. Invoke for the blessing of the supreme God and spiritual teacher to bring your to higher level consciousness.

An Ode to Music

I am not myself unless am lost
Lost in thoughts
Lost in dreams 
Lost in someones arms
Lost in sadness

 

Many fear being lost
I fear the feeling of not being lost
Music takes to places planes cannot
The feeling of being touched deep inside your heart

 

Yearning to be lost again
Lost in colors
Lost in grey
Lost in things that do not return 
Lost in things that will never happen

 

Yearning to be lost in your hypnotising Notes
Brushing softly against my ears, quencing my wavering thirst.
To be Lost in your dance that momentarily lasts an eternity,
Notes make life shine and living an eternally worthy maya
