The Sanctuary

I am mudra here in Avalon.

I great all in peace.

I created a new social group "The Sanctuary" as a place to remind us that Spirit is where it all starts from .

I see it as the heart of Avalon where the Love goes out , where the Love goes in , where all barriers dissolve.The center stone in the medicine wheel.

Some place to start and some place to end, some place to meet in Spirit, some place to meditate , some place to find peace and inspiration.

Please take the time to enter " The Sancturary " and leave there some inspiring quotes, stories or images from here and beyond, that you feel , in your own way convey wisdom.

In that way we can create a high energy center from where the sky is not the limit, because from Spirit we know, that everything is possible and our dearest dreams may come through .

The gate is open.
There is room for all.
Crossing the threshold into the Sanctuary of my soul,
I experience myself as God.

FOR A MOMENT

For a moment every eye sees a petal begin its journey from stem to ground. And in that thimble full of time where all worry becomes extinct - all futurizing over what might be or what could happen ceases, then the world, in relaxation, unites in the joy of the now. Yes, imagine for a moment there is no worry.

For a moment every inhale welcomes wellness and the world feels relief from the accompanying pains of disease. The air hums with the sighs of billions expressing their collective relief. Yes, imagine for a moment there is no pain.

For a moment everybody wins and the victory circle is electric with the hugs, handshakes and prayerful bows of authentic acknowledgment. It is the delicious moment when every mind, with every heart conceives the truth that there is more than enough for all. Yes, imagine for a moment that everybody wins.

For a moment all are able to forgive every thing and every one from every page of the past, every thought of separation, every grievance and grudge. Brother understands brother -sister their sister; child understands parent and parent their child and the world is awash with liberation. Yes, imagine for a moment that all forgive.

For a moment there is no hunger and the bellies of all children and adults are filled with the precise nourishment their body is craving. Food is equally portioned and equally shared and all races and religions discover that by sharing, one need never suffer from hunger again.Yes, imagine for a moment there is an end to hunger.


For a moment every person, everywhere is active in their passion – doing what they love. Selfdoubt has evaporated and each heart beats with the rhythm of confidence. Creativity is a sacred act for the soul without concern for recompense or approval. Time and deadline is replaced with being lost in the joy of doing what one loves. Yes, imagine for a moment that everyone is living their passion.


For a moment every conscious thought tilts towards reverent action for the earth. The planet is nurtured and treated with sacred intention. Every ounce of air and water is pure. Pollution is a distant memory and each inhabitant contributes to unprecedented ecological stability.Yes, imagine for a moment the earth is healed.

For a moment every heart has someone to love and someone who loves them back. For every soul there is a connection and for every connection there is an appreciative soul. Loyalty, devotion and respect are as natural and effortless to embody as breathing. Yes, imagine for a moment that true love exists for all.

And with each imagined moment linked to the other, we stretch those moments to an occasion, those occasions to hours - those hours moving into days. And in those collections of days where the imagination is free to think as big and as grand as it can, we begin to see and feel the shifts - our planet, our hearts, our passions, our lives – all expanding and guiding us into a new era of living.

If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day.

BUDDHA:
Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

Love Always

Re: The Sanctuary
 

Thanks again for your creative and thoughtfull geniusness, and for the invite to your personal celestial sanctum. I have been ill, and hospitalised for a while, it was a mission that I had to undertake. I believe I have now completed the last vistages of my kharmic debt to physicality, and I feel lighter, more evolved, and enlightened; but enough about me.
Things are now happening very fast. I have reasons to believe that very soon, many of us here will be re-uniting with our off-earth family, and possibly visiting previous homelands for what may be a short stay "about 3 thousand years or so". I thought it might just be appropriate and timely, to suggest the following link,
This is from me to all of avalon, and from every member of avalon to every other member, JUST IN CASE.....


Mudra, you have done so much, and shared so much, your light and love and passion is indeed contagious.
Got to go now, but I will be back soon....

Re: The Sanctuary
 

Hi all: I want to alert you to the Andrea Bocceli/Sarah Brightman vid.....I just clicked on it , it started to play, & then the music disappeared & in its place was an extremely loud sound, defeaning. It sounded a lot like a fire siren.....my computer froze & I couldn't shut it down......the sound kept going for about the length of the vid & then stopped, just as I was about to phone a computer store for help. I think that vid is corrupt or something else is going on. Wow, it scared me.

I'm not about to play it again, just in case.
Has anyone else played it?

Re: The Sanctuary
 

Just finish playing it twice thoroughly, on both play arrow, and it sounds great.

Re: The Sanctuary
 

Ok, then what the heck just happened to my computer.......it was weird, never had that happen before. Maybe the Galactic Federation of Light did a fly over my home and caused the problem:lol3: But seriously, it was extremely loud.

Re: The Sanctuary
 

Just reset the computer, but if that does not work, you may have to re-install your sound drivers, or your sound card.

Even if we have to punish a person, deep within ourselves we should have love towards him.

Re: The Sanctuary
 

How "spiritual" you are has nothing to do with what you believe but everything to do with your state of consciousness.


Do not be concerned with the fruit of your action - just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord. This is a powerful spiritual practice.


Love does not want or fear anything.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

Transmission of Mind

Huang-po

When a sudden flash of thought occurs in your mind, and you recognize it for a dream or an illusion, then you can enter into the state reached by the Buddhas of the past-not that the Buddhas of the past really exist, or that the Buddhas of the future have not yet come into existence. Above all, have no longing to become a future Buddha; your sole concern should be, as thought succeeds thought, to avoid clinging to any of them.

If a Buddha arises, do not think of him as “enlightened” or “deluded,” “good” or “evil.” Hasten to rid yourself of any desire to cling to him. Cut him off in the twinkling of an eye! On no account seek to hold him fast, for a thousand locks could not stay him, nor a hundred thousand feet of rope bind him. This being so, valiantly strive to banish and annihilate him.

I will now make luminously clear how to set about being rid of that Buddha. Consider the sunlight. You may say it is near, yet if you follow it from world to world you will never catch it in your hands. Then you may describe it as far away, and you will see it just before your eyes. Follow it, and behold, it escapes you; run from it, and it follows you close. You can neither possess it, nor have done with it. From this example you can understand how it is with the true Nature of all things, and henceforth, there will be no need to grieve or to worry about such things.

Thus all the visible universe is the Buddha; so are all sounds; hold fast to one principle, and all the others are identical. On seeing one thing, you see all. On perceiving any individual’s mind, you are perceiving all Mind. Obtain a glimpse of one way, and all ways are embraced in your vision, for there is nowhere at all that is devoid of the Way. When your glance falls upon a grain of dust, what you see is identical with all the vast world-systems with their great rivers and mighty hills. To gaze upon a drop of water is to behold the nature of all the waters of the universe. Moreover, in thus contemplating the totality of phenomena, you are contemplating the totality of Mind. All these phenomena are intrinsically void, and yet this Mind with which they are identical is no mere nothingness. By this I mean that it does exist, but in a way too marvelous for us to comprehend. It is an existence which is no existence, a non-existence which is nevertheless existence.

Native American Prayer

Oh, Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me, I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have
made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my Spirit may come to you without shame.


(translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887)
published in Native American Prayers - by the Episcopal Church.

Lakota Instructions for Living

Friend do it this way - that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can
with both your heart and mind.

And if you do it that way,
the Power Of The Universe
will come to your assistance,
if your heart and mind are in Unity.

When one sits in the Hoop Of The People,
one must be responsible because
All of Creation is related.
And the hurt of one is the hurt of all.
And the honor of one is the honor of all.
And whatever we do effects everything in the universe.

If you do it that way - that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One - whatever you ask for,
that's the Way It's Going To Be.
