Kuwanlelenta: The Dao on War
http://kuwanlelenta.blogspot.com/2010/07/dao-on-war.html
To make a beautiful place' - Hopi. The Dao on War. Victory in war is not glorious and not to be celebrated, but stems from devastation, and is to be mourned. From the Dao De Jing. This is not an anti-war statement. The Dao admits that sometimes there is a need for war. History has it's Hitlers. However, the glorification of war dehumanizes us. Labels: The Dao on War.

Kuwanlelenta: A State of Being
http://kuwanlelenta.blogspot.com/2009/03/state-of-being.html
To make a beautiful place' - Hopi. A State of Being. I had one of those ‘YES! 8217; moments while doing my gardening meditation and listening to. Practicing the Power of Now. By Eckhart Tolle. I was listening to Chapter 8, ‘Acceptance of the Now’. Tolle said:. When a spiritual practice brings happiness, there is a compulsion to continue the spiritual practice for the sake of happiness itself. This is known as Spiritual Materialism, and is the reason why many spiritual practices fail. 19 May 2009 at 03:17.

Kuwanlelenta: My Ego Hurts
http://kuwanlelenta.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-ego-hurts.html
To make a beautiful place' - Hopi. The same human being’. As in a single entity. He was trying to make a point. Steve Hagan says, in. Buddhism Plain and Simple. That we are not corks floating down the stream of life; that we are the stream itself. The cork is an illusion, one that causes much suffering, for ourselves and for others. I know all this. And yet…. and yet, my ego hurts. It’s in pain. Ah …. the painful truth. It’s no wonder we hide from it. Is anyone ever free of the past? Labels: My Ego Hurts.

Kuwanlelenta: Touched By An Angel
http://kuwanlelenta.blogspot.com/2008/11/touched-by-angel.html
To make a beautiful place' - Hopi. Touched By An Angel. Touched by an angel . . . Looking back over the days I spent in the States, I realise that this was the theme of my travels. I, too, was touched in a very special way by the many people who briefly entered my life. The people there were very spiritual. Spirituality, when shared in a non-egoistic setting, can be very powerful. They were my angles of enlightenment. It was she who told me about Article 9 in the Japanese Constitution. I met up with Debb...

Kuwanlelenta: The Stillness Hour
http://kuwanlelenta.blogspot.com/2008/10/stillness-hour.html
To make a beautiful place' - Hopi. I was given the gift of stillness last weekend. I was in the Midlands, at a food festival, and came across a display of brochures and small posters with words like “stillness” and “silence” and other profound thoughts that appealed to me. I stopped, asked some questions, and was invited to the Quaker service for the following morning to share an hour of stillness. But not that Sunday morning; which was good. Labels: The Stillness HOur. I thought that sounds magnificent ...

Kuwanlelenta: Relationship as Spiritual Practice
http://kuwanlelenta.blogspot.com/2009/03/relationship-as-spiritual-practice.html
To make a beautiful place' - Hopi. Relationship as Spiritual Practice. I have been listening to. Practicing the Power of Now. Don’t get me started on sisters! The butcher, the baker. Even the plumber! There are times when it feels like the whole world has gone crazy. Maybe the world is crazy. All of us are a little crazy to some extent. Or, maybe it’s just a case of not being awake, of being ‘unconscious’. Labels: Relationship as Spiritual Practice. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A State of Being.

Kuwanlelenta: Being Human
http://kuwanlelenta.blogspot.com/2008/12/being-human.html
To make a beautiful place' - Hopi. Have you ever wondered why we use the term. We don’t say. So why do we say. Is Latin for ‘wise human’ or ‘knowing human’. (Is this an oxymoron, like ‘military intelligence’? I suppose that makes sense from a scientific perspective, so I understand its use . . . sort of. But when I tried to look into the origin of the term. I could only find that the concept of ‘being’ with regards to humans came into existence during the 1700s. Not much to go on. 16 January 2009 at 10:35.
