Questions and Meditations

scorn, complaints and excesses and its consciousness is fully occupied by the necessities of survival, maintenance and upkeep of a viable equilibrium.

Proudly and pompously identified to the powers and authority of thought, will, inspiration or duty with which we clothe our temporary personality, we prefer to feel superior to this beast of burden. Until we “fall” ill or victims of some accident or physical attack, we remain determined to appreciate our bodies only insofar as they allow us to experience pleasure and ease and the satisfaction of a valuable expression. When this balance is affected, altered or broken, we revert to being the fragile and dependent physical creature we had grown used to ignore.

The whole earth is now in danger.

It is to that Consciousness that is truly One and supreme that it turns its call.
