Hello Family, my daughter(24)has been suffering with insomnia for over a year and I fear she may be near mental exhaustion/breakdown. she said to me that she would accept one good night's sleep a week! she saw the doc today who was hopeless and gave her anti-hystamines! any suggestions/thoughts/ideas on how my beautiful daughter can get some shut eye most welcome. she lives with her mother who I call the Dark One, so she hasn't got it easy!!! there is an Air Guitar to those whose suggestions do the trick - and I'll even pay the postage!!!

Silence of the Heart by Robert Adams. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DMYCDNV/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i2 A wonderful exploration of self inquiry. Robert's words indeed do speak to the Heart. I am only 37 pages into this spiritual masterpiece and I am truly looking forward to the reading the rest of the book. http://robertadamsinfinityinstitute.org/

I have read a number of life changing books this year: The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment by Michael A Singer. Check them out on Amazon. Autobiography of A Yogi by Sri Yogananda. Again check it out on Amazon. A mind blowing book! All three I highly recommend. Blessings All, gentlewind

it is Man who cares not about Mother Earth. From the book 'Catching The Thread' by Llewellyn Vaughn Lee; From Mother Earth are born all living creatures, and with her body she feeds them. They drink from her streams and eats the food she provides.

Greetings Silent Thunder, many thanks for your kind words - Mother Earth needs our kindness and not our cruelty. I was testing Jonathon Livingstone Seagull......he has a film by the same name on You Tube! K Pac really intrigued me. Shame about the creep who played the alien. Jeff Bridges was magnificent. Anyone seen the film Dreamcatcher? Worth a watch!!! Stay safe!!!

2001 A Space Odyssey is thought provoking, esoteric and has subtle overtones of dark humour. K Pac is also a film with depth and complex twists. They are walking amongst us?! I agree with Silent Thunder about the series OA. It is thought provoking as to the nature of consciousness.

wow!!! thanks guys I really appreciate your advice which I will pass onto my daughter when she visits. once again I truly appreciate your time and effort you put into your posts, I know my daughter will be happy to read through your posts. Blessings to you all.

I'm finding the series Project Blue Book, quite a neat and deeply spiritual series. It has rekindled my interest in UFO's. I am writing(embryonic stage)a comedy about a space crew from a far away planet!!! Dr Who has been ruined by having a female Dr. It just isn't right. The left wing soy boys and girls must be delighted. Apparently there are 100 genders...….nope......just 2. World of Man is doomed. Doomed I tell you!!!

I enjoy being cut open by the surgeon's knife. My wife thinks I am slightly(only slightly?)bonkers. I am shockingly mad, in a good way. I had my most recent operation last month, removing cancerous growths from my stomach and duodenum. I go back in 3 months for a follow up operation to make sure they caught everything. Happy days! I am not worried because it is a part of my dance through life and death. I have rehearsed my own death, just in case! I will pull through, because that is what I do. END.

I've read a few esoteric Christian books, titles I cannot remember! This is the gist of what I read; Adam(Jesus' first incarnation) and Eve(maybe the first of Mary Magdelenes' incarnations?)in the Garden Of Eden, where the Bible tells us Eve was tricked by Satan into eating the apple of good and evil. What really happened was Eve was seduced by Satan resulting in the birth of Cain(wonder what the Land of Nod was like!!! & who created those folk?!). If memory serves me right thats the gist of it. I wonder what drugs the writers were experimenting with!!! Then we have astrotheology. Jesus = Sun 12 Disciples = the 12 houses of the Zodiac I would suggest anyone interested in astrotheology watch Bill Donahue's You Tube videos.

a couple of short pieces. Short & Sweet(sic) the UK is a mess dark brooding mess and its all sugar free (just) ignore the aspartame it slowly rots your brain but saves on the cost of embalming fluid when your dead. Extended Sorrow death walks on its own fear feeds the onlookers sadness never fades. Thanks for dropping by https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenny-gazbowski/e/B01MRJYHRO/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0

a short poem written this morning. [ thoughts ] thoughts crashing softly, thoughts crashing violently. thoughts caressing thoughts messing thoughts blessing where do thoughts come from especially the ones you do not recognize. ? who creates the unwanted thoughts, disturbingly dark ? meditate in the vastness of the Mystery - your Mystery. thoughts crashing softly, thoughts crashing violently. thoughts caressing thoughts messing thoughts blessing. Lenny Gazbowski(c)2018 I have three Kindle books for sale via Amazon, just put my name in the Amazon search engine and spoil yourself to some excellent poetry.

I like listening to Adyashanti and diving into the inevitable Mystery(of self). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCd6laqCyIM&t=40s

Not a newly signed up member but one who has now returned after a few years in the, ahem, wilderness. It was a 'dark night of the soul' which went on and on....... However I shall try to be a more active user of this wonderful forum. This is a brief post due to my eyes tiring !!! Blessings to all, Lenny

Lima, glad to meet you and thanks for the lovely welcome. So where have I been ? Well I have spent a lot of time in hospital where I underwent four operations over an 18 month period and escaped a cancer scare ! So as you can see I was busy ! I am now wheelchair(electric) bound and do a mean wheelie ! On the positive side, and with the help of my wife, I have published three Kindle books of poetry. If you want to visit my Amazon author's page put Lenny Gazbowski in the Amazon search bar. If you do purchase a book please leave a review ! Without my poetry I'd go insane !!! I have researched the Sikh religion lately and like some of what I read. I listened to a Sikh giving talks at London's Speakers Corner, which has become a verbal battleground between Muslims, Christians and Raj the Sihk. Check this out when you have time:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_vnHk93QOE

+Glad that you are still here my friend !

an oldie..............................see what you think.

But for me it is all inclusive Marblehead. We are miniature universes ! Everything is the Universe or Multiverse because we know nothing, even though some believe they do !!! I am fascinated by a blade of grass, worm or slug; they are all Universal Representatives ! I treat all Life with the deepest of respect. I am not gentlewind, he is a character I am playing. The flesh vehicle being occupied by whatever it is, gets me from A-Z and through its encounters with other flesh vehicles it learns vital lessons - even those deemed failures. It is the mind which happily labels experiences as good or bad etc. Truth is there are no good or bad experiences. The flesh form is Consciousness experiencing Earth Wars !!! Well the current edition is Earth Wars. There may be a more peaceful edition in the future, hopefully !

Currently reading The Fourth Way by Ouspensky, first chapter, so early days. Have watched a few videos on self observation as prescribed by The Fourth Way, and even though its early days I am encouraged by my observations. According to The Fourth Way we have four centers of gravity: 1. Intellectual 2. Emotional 3. Instinctive 4. Moving The intellectual center is the slowest ! And this was witnessed a few times this week ! Its difficult putting some of the reactions into categories, but in time this will become easier. I shocked my wife tonight when I was attacked by our mostly gummy dog, Chase. The previous two occasions I have lost my temper with the 11 years toy Yorkshire Terrier and shouted at him but tonight I handled the situation totally differently, so much so my heart beat never raised or blood pressure shot up ! I caught my wife looking at me admiringly, which is always nice. This may have nothing to do with my baby steps in TFW, but I think it is - and that comes from my emotional center. Very interesting indeed. I will include the videos which are 10 minutes in duration.

Our robin has returned ! He is visiting our garden more than usual, supposed to be a good sign ! Others say spiritual sign. In one our bushes birds are nest building, its much better than watching TV, which is good because we don't have one ! Great insights are created by meditating on nature.

I'm not an atheist, but I share their view that there is no god. And there is no god, god is a creation of Man. Man needs a father substitute, so he created god. I share the theory which favors Divine Intelligence. There is an intelligence within everything and this intelligence is Divine. Hence Divine Intelligence. It doesn't need worshipping because that would be rather vain ! We would be worshipping ourselves ! Along with father christmas and the easter bunny god is yet another fictional figure.

sweet.
