Please pardon my Silence as of late...

True healing, defined, is so limited, and so, is not true healing ! In the final realization, a miracle is merely the truth made plain. Healing is merely our separation from GOD / the Source, made whole. The mind and the quality of mind is all that goes on with us.

2012 - The year the Mayans say that our current world will end...perhaps!  Depending on who you read it may simply be the end of one age and the dawning of another.  HHHMMMM...Get Ready...

I ponder a lot as of late.  Speaking with my brother this morning, he said something profound: "As for me, I'm OK-ish...Frazzled, busy whilst also feeling completely detached from most all that I am engaged in at the moment it, not just because of the fallout over Dad (who also has multiple myeloma, and is a Priest, who in an earlier stage of life trained the French Army to fight in Vietnam), but also because this is all fundamentally trivial...when I would rather be dealing with things that matter, i.e. people and their souls.  This may be an issue for me as time goes by."

REPHRASAL OF MIND-SET

Life is interesting and CHANGE HAPPENS!  Having been raised in a home environment of discipline and duty, etc, and also having had four different Fathers, has given me a certain outlook.  Having joined the military directly out of high school, and going immediately from seven years in the Army to Seminary has given me a structure of life as well.  I wouldn't take a million dollars for my experiences in Southeast Asia, nor five million to repeat them!

I have written about war and being a veteran many times in my Daily

Tao's with the Ancient Taoist Sage.  So now, I'll write to express what and how I feel now...today, in light of what I am personally experiencing.  I hope to at least give you "food for thought".  Changing your mind is not my intention.  ...

Greetings from cyberspace and welcome to our Spiritual Martial Arts Blog. Our purpose is to share our thoughts and the thoughts of our elder school brothers and sisters about our experiences training in traditional martial arts for fighting skill as well as "spiritual" and meditative purposes.

It is our belief that martial arts offer a unique perspective to approaching the spiritual side within us. We live in a world which is plagued with anger and violence. The martial arts are a way to harness and overcome negative actions and emotions. The internal martial arts that we practice are the antithesis of violence, they train us to control our own dark side and to protect ourselves from the misguided actions of others.

I had an exceptional Fathers Day! We got up at O'dark-thirty and headed for the Hot Air Balloon launch on the other-side of town. Then to Breakfast with my youngest Son, Noah. Then back to the Balloon Festival for the Car Show. My friend Mark had his Camaro R/S in the show.

Then we came home, (I had walked way-to-much) and took a nap. Dawn grilled steaks , cut-up lots of WATERMELON, and as usual out-did herself with yet another gifted-meal. Being a Scotsman, I'm practical, so I asked for a new belt, a particular Book on Taoist Energetics, and for my Hybred-Bike to be tuned. Oh, and I got a Bart Simpson Fathers Day card with Sound !
