HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
9:54 AM A couple of days ago I decided to watch the film version of The Celestine Prophecy. I wasn’t particularly in the mood to watch a ‘spiritual adventure’ film, but intuition told me that I really ought to make the effort. At first the main character seemed to reflect my feelings of reluctance, and didn’t appear at all certain that he wanted to embark on the adventure either! But as his spiritual awareness evolved, as he began to understand his deeper purpose, I felt myself becoming more and more absorbed in the film. I wanted to be part of the story. Suddenly I realised that this fictional spiritual journey had become a very real part of my own journey! Traditionally entitled "Empress," this major arcana or "trump" card portrays the energy of the Great Mother. She ... more »
Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!What Dear Mr Eric Weaver,
I get all sorts of cool stuff in my email. Gave Kathy my Celestine Book to read last week, that's the next movie she has for us to watch, too. Then she tells me how Mike wrote the Forward or something. Oh yea of course, he told me about that too. So I videotaped his last workshop to make him a DVD then remembered the Mayan Festival for James Tyman and Camp with Neale so now I invited Alberto to visit and do the same thing while he's in town.
I still need to write him a more personal and direct note ... of course look at all I got these last few days:From: newsletter@prophetsconference.com
I also got another invite to Neale's Black Mountain retreat. Last time I called Will and asked for a student scholarship again. I'm sure they want to see the power we had the first time, but without the scholarship I wont go through that again. . . lol. . . Course I offered to tape it too, lol. . .

I am Disciple of Earth
http://www.atpweb. org/conference/ preAPA/eventMain .asp?event= 104 What Disciplehood
I can't believe all this...
The many teachers of Junnaid
No situation is without a lesson, no situation at all. All situations are pregnant, but you have to discover; it may not be available on the surface. You have to be watchful, you have to look at all the aspects of the situation.
One of the great Sufi Masters, Junnaid, was asked when he was dying... his chief disciple came close to him and asked, "Master, you are leaving us. One question has always been in our minds but we could never gather courage enough to ask you. Who was your Master? This has been a great curiosity among your disciples because we have never heard you talk about your Master."
Junnaid opened his eyes and said, "It will be very difficult for me to answer because I have learned from almost everybody. The whole existence has been my Master. I have learned from every event that has happened in my life. And I am grateful to all that has happened, because out of all that learning I have arrived."
Junnaid said, "Just to satisfy your curiosity I will give you three instances. One: I was very thirsty and I was going towards the river carrying my begging bowl, the only possession I had. When I reached the river a dog rushed, jumped into the river, started drinking.
"I watched for a moment and threw away my begging bowl--because it is useless. A dog can do without it. I also jumped into the river, drank as much water as I wanted. My whole body was cool because I had jumped into the river. I sat in the river for a few moments, thanked the dog, touched his feet with deep reverence because he had taught me a lesson.
"I had dropped everything, all possessions, but there was a certain clinging to my begging bowl. It was a beautiful bowl, very beautifully carved, and I was always aware that somebody might steal it. Even in the night I used to put it under my head as a pillow so nobody could snatch it away. That was my last clinging--the dog helped. It was so clear: if a dog can manage without a begging bowl... I am a man, why can't I manage? That dog was one of my Masters.
"Secondly," he said, "I lost my way in a forest and by the time I reached the nearest village that I could find, it was midnight. Everybody was fast asleep. I wandered all over the town to see if I could find somebody awake to give me shelter for the night, until finally I found one man. I asked him, 'It seems only two persons are awake in the town, you and I. Can you give me shelter for the night?'
"The man said, 'I can see from your gown that you are a Sufi monk....'"
The word Sufi comes from suf; suf means wool, a woolen garment. The Sufis have used the woolen garment for centuries; hence they are called Sufis because of their garment. The man said, "I can see you are a Sufi and I feel a little embarrassed to take you to my home. I am perfectly willing, but I must tell you who I am. I am a thief--would you like to be a guest of a thief?"
For a moment Junnaid hesitated. The thief said, "Look, it is better I told you. You seem hesitant. The thief is willing but the mystic seems to be hesitant to enter into the house of a thief, as if the mystic is weaker than the thief. In fact, I should be afraid of you--you may change me, you may transform my whole life! Inviting you means danger, but I am not afraid. You are welcome. Come to my home. Eat, drink, go to sleep, and stay as long as you want, because I live alone and my earning is enough. I can manage for two persons. And it will be really beautiful to chit-chat with you of great things. But you seem to be hesitant."
And Junnaid became aware that it was true. He asked to be forgiven. He touched the feet of the thief and he said, "Yes, my rootedness in my own being is yet very weak. You are really a strong man and I would like to come to your home. And I would like to stay a little longer, not only for this night. I want to be stronger myself!"
The thief said, "Come on!" He fed the Sufi, gave him something to drink, helped him to prepare for sleep and he said, "Now I will go. I have to do my own thing. I will come back early in the morning." Early in the morning the thief came back. Junnaid asked, "Have you been successful?"
The thief said, "No, not today, but I will see tomorrow."
And this happened continuously, for thirty days: every night the thief went out, and every morning he came back empty-handed. But he was never sad, never frustrated-- no sign of failure on his face, always happy --and he would say, "It doesn't matter. I tried my best. I could not find anything today again, but tomorrow I will try. And, God willing, it can happen tomorrow if it has not happened today."
After one month Junnaid left, and for years he tried to realize the ultimate, and it was always a failure. But each time he decided to drop the whole project he remembered the thief, his smiling face and his saying "God willing, what has not happened today may happen tomorrow."
Junnaid said, "I remembered the thief as one of my greatest Masters. Without him I would not be what I am.
"And third," he said, "I entered into a small village. A little boy was carrying a lit candle, obviously going to the small temple of the town to put the candle there for the night."
And Junnaid asked, "Can you tell me from where the light comes? You have lighted the candle yourself so you must have seen. What is the source of light?"
The boy laughed and he said, "Wait!" And he blew out the candle in front of Junnaid. And he said, "You have seen the light go. Can you tell me where it has gone? If you can tell me where it has gone I will tell you from where it has come, because it has gone to the same place. It has returned to the source."
And Junnaid said, "I had met great philosophers but nobody had made such a beautiful statement: 'It has gone to its very source.' Everything returns to its source finally. Moreover, the child made me aware of my own ignorance. I was trying to joke with the child, but the joke was on me. He showed me that asking foolish questions--' From where has the light come?'--is not intelligent. It comes from nowhere, from nothingness- -and it goes back to nowhere, to nothingness. "
Junnaid said, "I touched the feet of the child. The child was puzzled. He said, 'Why you are touching my feet?' And I told him, 'You are my Master--you have shown me something. You have given me a great lesson, a great insight.'
"Since that time," Junnaid said, "I have been meditating on nothingness and slowly, slowly I have entered into nothingness. And now the final moment has come when the candle will go out, the light will go out. And I know where I am going--to the same source.
"I remember that child with gratefulness. I can still see him standing before me, blowing out the candle."
