jan 10th, ive fallen behind
was feedbacking nanas new novel
had to get it off my plate
here are jan 7 and 8th teases / excerpts
will full court press today and catch up:
JAN 07 MEDITATION
I believe I have to take a moment to make the case for meditative practice
I consider this critical, I don’t see how you can administer to the soul wo it
without meditational practice how does one identify and access the soul
I got to assume in the human condition anything is possible but for a healthy
relationship with your soul, for true soul consciousness I think meditation
okay so lets say that you accept the need for meditational
practice - how does one implement it from scratch
first you have to pull out the time from somewhere
this requires serious dedication, serious understanding of its value
okay so this will be hard, it will require will and discipline
the willingness to do a little something extra to enhance life and living
okay, so you have surmounted inertia, you are going to do this
and when the inevitable slacking comes you will calmly remount
so the next step is to sanctify a space, build yourself an altar
somewhere you can call private, okay this might not work for
find an altar space, someplace private where you can be you
adorn it in sacred talismans that make you feel good and strong
then find the time, get up a half hour before everybody else
get 5, 10 minutes a day in gradually building up your time span
determine moments in your daily grind you can practice mindfulness
okay, the act of meditation itself - posture,
breath, mantras, maintaining, navigation.........
JAN 08 CHARACTER
I don’t think we can go much further wo addressing
the central importance of character
Character is the manifestation of soulwork into the world
once again there is an internal and external dynamic
you must be conscious of the desire and benefits of
living a life of the spirit, of forging a great soul in the
time that you are on the planet
good character is the point of all soul work
of life itself, always strive to be greater than you are
there is always room for improvement
ikn your daily grind look for crossroads moments
that are opportunities to develop your character
the traits of good character have been consistent
since we been writing them down, do unto others
as you would have them do to you, wisdom and
grace whenever possible, responsibility to those
who depend on you and strangers too, caring,
doing what must done simply because it must........
NOTES

root to activate it, took this pic of one, if you look
closely you will see a faceted gem in the knuckle, wish
i knew who had it but anyway yesterday i was cleaning

JAN 1: SOUL WORK
My names is Arthur flowers
my general intro is I am Flowers of the delta clan
floweres and the line of okillens, pertformative
but this book I want to come at you more personal
this is my latest work, a book on life as pilgrimage
it will be terse, I have a condition that runs in the
family, my hands tremble, every day its more
difficult to write, two trembling fingers, many
tytos but I am determined to write this book
a book on life as pilgrimage
a book on life as transformation
using a year in the life, a year that
is shaped to the seasons and the
dance of the stars, cosmic tai chi
every day foor the next year I will
speak on life as pilgrimage
I was once asked after a reading what is the meaning of life,
I said I do not know and the crowd went. ‘oooooo’
now I think I do, I think the point of life is soulwork, crafting
out of the raw material we have been given a great soul . . .
--------------------------
JAN 2: THE PATH
what is the path
let me ask this, what is pilgrimage
what does a pilgrimage do
it is a journey to spiritual grace
that journey is most often geographic, a
pilgrimage to sacred space / holyground
what makes a space sacred / holy
this Work will speculate as strongly
on internal pilgrimage, the journey to
spiritual grace and power within
as manifested thru character
using the year as a metaphor for life
so a year of transformation
would start with a ruthless self assessment
who are you, why are you here, what is the point
and I would add what is your contribution to the enhancement
of the human condition, what is your Fa / destiny
