It is an incomplete belief system that does not encompass the very concepts of its contradiction.--CG Walters, Strike a Chord of Silence

Your Sacredness

2009-11-25T05:03:00.004-05:00

I am trying to tell you that if you look inward, and study your own sacredness and creativity and blessedness, and joy and power, as closely as you study the sacred books of the gods, then you would realize that all those books of the gods were based upon the great reality of the individual, the individual soul, and therefore based upon your own reality. -- Seth

Releasing Answers

2009-11-24T05:05:00.001-05:00

Your greatest achievement is not finding the answer, but finding and living peacefully with the question---the answer will change (if you are living, growing), but the question will not.---cgw

Friendship by h.koppdelaney

Answers can diminish our power, unless we are willing to let them go in the proper time. Perhaps an answer is a Zen Koan, something quite contradictory between definition and reality. Rather than answer being a conclusion to the question, the answer can provide us the conclusion to being stuck--a platform from which to spring higher. In finding an answer, we may rightly realize that we are no closer to being satisfied (having confused what is nourishing and what is utensil).

Tao Te Ching, Verse 48

The student learns by daily increment.

The Way is gained by daily loss,

Loss upon loss,

At last becomes rest.

You Are Divine

2009-11-18T05:37:00.002-05:00

You are a child of God....We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -- Marianne Williamson

Searching for Sacred Vow?

2009-11-07T15:07:00.032-05:00

I understand it is difficult to purchase Sacred Vow outside the US and want to help. Sacred Vow (and the non-fiction, Strike a Chord of Silence) are available through Amazon.com in US only, since Amazon.com will not ship outside US borders. Autographed copies of Sacred Vow are available through http://sacredvow.dragonsbeard.com/ --however, my simple order app can only deal with orders within the US at present.

I am in the process of getting both books to distributors for international sales---and don’t know how long it will be before the books actually show up online or in stores. I apologize for this inconvenience.

I have some 1st edition copies of Sacred Vow on hand and propose that as long as they last, I will sell/ship directly to anyone outside of the US (or inside the US, for that matter) an autographed copy of Sacred Vow for what it would cost you from Amazon.com if you were in the US--$17.94US (13.95 + 3.99 shipping). I am willing to pay the extra shipping cost since the lack of access outside the US is my fault.

Unfortunately I am unable to help with international sales of Strike a Chord of Silence at this time (US sales are available through Amazon.com). I do not have any copies on hand. Hopefully, they will be available through my distributors for international sales soon.

I ask anyone who is interested in a copy of Sacred Vow to send me an email via this blog or Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/kathmandau?ref=profile) ---or post your interest to this blog or Facebook Note. I will get back in touch with you so you can give me your address. I will then verify shipping costs (for my own needs). If at all possible, I plan to ship USPS Priority International mail, to keep supposed delivery dates 6-10 days from shipment.

If the cost of shipping to your location makes priority shipping too costly, I will check to see if you are willing to allow me to ship regular 1st Class postage, which USPS will not give an estimated arrival time for.

Once we know how we are shipping your copy(ies), I will point you to a link at http://kathmandau.blogspot.com where you can use a credit card or paypal account to pay me the $17.94US.

FYI you may also check local online stores for used copies (as a cheaper alternative, if you like). As of 11/07/09 Amazon.ca had 4 new from CDN$ 15.97 6 used from CDN$ 2.68;

Amazon.fr had 2 neufs à partir de EUR 15,7d3 d'occasion à partir de EUR 7,73;

Amazon.de, 2 neu ab EUR 22,07 3 gebraucht ab EUR 9,05;

Amazon.co.jp, 新品3点￥ 3,080より中古商品2点￥ 1,548より;

Amazon.co.uk, 4 new from £24.74 3 used from £6.30

Searching (Chapter 1, Sacred Vow)

No longer confined to material experience, Katerina crossed into the dimly lit room, invisible to its inhabitants. She had never visited this world before, never laid eyes on this person, yet Katerina’s bond to the lean, gray-haired man seated at the wooden table was so intense and immediate that she barely managed to suppress the impulse to reach out and embrace him.

He rested a forearm on either side of the tattered book at which he stared, completely absorbed. In a few moments, he began to read aloud to himself, in a gentle voice.

“So long have we been sharing our experience, our becoming, that it no longer makes sense to imagine such a thing as either of us wholly divisible from the other . . . if it ever did make sense.”

http://kathmandau.blogspot.com/2008/07/serialization-of-sacred-vowsearching.html

Read the 1st 15 chapters of Sacred Vow online, starting with
http://kathmandau.blogspot.com/2008/07/serialization-of-sacred-vowprologue.html

Sacred Vow is a metaphysical novel about a man who responds to the mysterious call of a woman, opening the way to redefinition of both himself and his understanding of the world around him. He takes his first steps on a journey to accept the world around him as a place to live, not simply a place to survive day-to-day. Sacred Vow is both a narrative and the means for the author to communicate a positive message about life and fully integrating the most into each moment. Highly recommended—Midwest Book Review

Fool or Wise

2009-11-04T05:12:00.001-05:00

Fool or wise is never an all or nothing arrangement...ever. Just two sides of a coin. Just because one face or the other is showing, it does not mean the other side does not exist or will not show again.--CG Walters, Strike a Chord of Silence

I have been a fool, often am, and know I will be again. Knowing this is the basis of my greatest wisdom, my greatest strength. Knowing/accepting/admitting such knowledge does not make me lesser, but makes me more whole. This acceptance does not condone or condemn my foibles, but acts as a guide to me.

Take joy in yourself, dear ones.....

Primal Voice

2009-11-02T05:24:00.001-05:00

Be careful in casting out your devil 'lest you cast out the best thing about you.-- Friedrich Nietzsche

wisdom of the night by alicepopkorn

To be accepted and easily fit into the standardized patterns of the modern world, we have often conformed, modified, redefined and limited ourselves. We close our eyes and ears, turn our backs on the troubling voices within that are not so conveniently confined in the structures of our civilized, sane, and rational circles.

Many of us have become disconnected with that part of ourselves, disconnected with Mother Earth. Often we cannot hear our primal core, so it not surprising that we cannot hear or communicate with our Mother.

An Unlikely Agent of Wisdom

2009-10-29T05:08:00.004-04:00

Wisdom abounds in the words of the biggest fool. However, to perceive such encoded insight, one often needs either to be wise, or merely to be the Universe’s intended receiver of the message.

~ meditation ~ by alicepopkorn

Let’s say I were the trickster god—Coyote or Loki, for example—playfully exercising the awareness of a budding adept with a riddle, or if I were the guardian at the gate of wisdom, insuring no entrance by anyone not ready to wield the key to enlightenment. Where do you imagine would be the best place for me to hide the words of the most profound insights of the Universe?

There is no unlikely agent of wisdom. Only those we are least likely to recognize.

Perhaps you might suggest I would hide the words on the lips of your enemy, someone that you dislike intensely or have contempt for. Sure, if you were not actively pursuing wisdom that might work. From the face of this person that you were so preconditioned to hearing loathsome trifles, the trickster could slip across the vital information that you needed, and because of the source you might discount that truth without ever really hearing what was said. However, once someone is earnestly open to insight—and their perceptiveness keenly stimulated—Coyote could not be certain that you would not notice the variance between the standard content of the speaker and this ‘hidden’ wisdom.

A drunk or a lunatic, maybe? No. That’s even easier to decipher than from our enemy. Over time, seekers have become used to the idea of the archetypal insight mixed in with the ravings of babblers. Neither would I chance hiding the vital insight in the words of children, actions of nature, into dream, or into art. People are often overanxious to read insight into these. Since such things are regularly scrutinized for import, as Loki I would not use any of those—unless for the purpose of misdirection, to present useless information that would be erroneously assumed to have value.

Consider this quote from Lao Tzu:

There i not need to run outside for better seeing,

Nor to peer from a window.

Rather abide at the center of your being,

For the more you leave it, the less you learn.

Have you noticed a pattern in the possibilities suggested for places to hide the secret? That pattern shows our general expectation of sources wisdom, and therefore suggests the best possible hiding place. These suggested hiding places were all outside of ourselves!

One need not be wise to be the agent of wisdom.*

Consider where you go to seek out answers for the majority of the most substantial quandaries of your own life. Now order a sequential list of those sources in your mind, going from the one most trusted to the least. Once you have completed your list, please tell me if you were on that list. Unfortunately, when the tough questions need answering, most of us have defined ourselves as an “unlikely agent of wisdom.”

As trickster, I would hide the most profound mysteries of the Universe, that which would most quickly bring any individual to enlightenment, on the lips of that very individual, in the middle of the most mundane chatter. I am often stunned by the insights offered by others, seemingly without their awareness of the value of what they have said. I have also been dumbfounded by what has just come out of my own mouth or pen (I’m referring to the positive surprises just now).

You must listen to learn. And when you speak, also listen.

If you are willing, you may be surprised what you will learn.

Within you may be the teacher you seek. Surely, it is not the conscious mind, but then that is never all that you are.

Your greatest achievement is not finding the answer, but finding and living peacefully with the question---the answer will change (if you are living, growing), but the question will not.---cgw

Answers can make us less, unless we are willing to let them go. Perhaps the answer is like a Zen Koan, something quite contradictory between definition and reality. Rather than answer being conclusion to the question, the answer can provide us the conclusion to being stuck. For finding the answer, we may realize that we are no closer to being satisfied (having confused what is nourishing and what is utensil).

Tao Te Ching, Verse 48

The student learns by daily increment.

The Way is gained by daily loss,

Loss upon loss,

At last becomes rest.
