passion

Us — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:39:32 +0000

I hunger for you…

To touch me…with your smile

Embrace me…with your lips

Caress me…with your eyes

Feel me…with your heart

Kiss me…with your breath

Burn within me…your inscription

The memory of a passion

So mindfully reckless

Soulfully carnal

Give me the gift of time

As I lose myself

Falling deeper and deeper

Into our abysmal bliss

And so with all we find in each other
I walk with those I choose to see
Who seek a life of purity and love
Found only from within ourselves

Though many mistakes we make
Always in love I find
The answers to all I ponder
Great and small without reason

Never shall I return
To the darkness of self
Seeking to find the truth of life
I give without want or desire

Finding my soul during this walk
I struggle no more at heart
Knowing I choose the right path
That leads me to what I believe

The regrets I have to live with
Do not change who I am at this moment
The best I can be today
Untill tomorrow comes I shall continue

Synopsis of the spiritual thriller

The Brief

This is the story of a unique soul…and its startling journey from the universe and back. The spiritual thriller is set in a backdrop of earth. How it moves around the world in three lifetimes to take birth is its emotional saga and journey to freedom.

The earth is such a small planet compared to the vast spiritual realms of the universe. Yet, millions of souls take the wretched human form and live in hell on earth… going through countless and strange geographical locations, stranger cultures and pass lifetimes of birth and death. From the vast darkness of a cyclonic tunnel emerges a telescopic ringside view of a scene at a speed faster than many light years one can see a hazy mass, a cluster of multiple civilizations. It has been born out of eons and centuries, nurtured by migratory souls returning repeatedly. There is nothing cosmic or divine about this only habitable planet of the solar system. Every time it is the same old story with every soul. The cycle of birth and death spins on earth, it rotates on its own individual axis of individual karma. As the solar system continues, its revolutions and rotations around the sun so do all souls. They rotate their karmas in human bodies, animal bodies, in the water kingdom or in some botanical species. The question is… does it befit a human body to lead a vegetable existence.

In The Universe

Millions of light years away in the Universe, cosmic energies spread all over time and space. A soul is only a size of an atom, actually less than the breath of a human hair! Like light particles floating in the cosmos, many souls are awaiting their turns to enter human bodies to fulfill their karmas-good and bad. A light moves in ecstasy. ‘Wow, so they are discussing how they ruined my life form’. Far away it heard its fate being discussed after what seemed to be many lifetimes. Finally it dawns on human beings that they need to spare a thought for the souls and the bodies they enter?

Down Below On Earth

Summer Solstice, 2005- Mumbai, India

In a temple college

In contemporary India there are enough young men leaving material life and entering the time zone of a 5000-year-old Vedic way of existence…Chucking away dreams of obtaining HBI visas to join a work culture in a world full of misery. A Bramhachari teacher (formally a marine engineer) is giving a lecture on killing and its implications on humans. The biggest crime that any court of law never punishes us humans is for abortions and abandoning babies soon after birth. The lecture is an eye opener for the motley group of 94 students.

If religion says abortion is illegal then why do doctors who are considered God in our country perform them? So often sex determination tests are done and certain communities abort the female fetus in the womb itself?

The lecture stirs the minds of a couple that had allowed their one-day-old baby to die rather than live. The troubled humans search for a soul therapy to understand their karmas.

Autumn, 2006- Al Quairah, Egypt

In another 5000-year-old civilization, in the African continent, the bustling city of Cairo presents a multi diversity of cultures. The ancient Giza Pyramids cast a long shadow on the city every evening. Marwah Al Zawarhi, a young 21-year-old guide in the Cairo museum is conducting her last tour for foreign tourists. In a month from now she will get married to a Hani, a police officer in Cairo. She is excited to meet some Indian tourists. She is saving money to come to India to see the Taj Mahal with her husband- her lifelong ambition! The white marble symbol of love has long attracted souls for four centuries and is no surprise that Marwah prefers the Taj to the sandy stoned pyramids. It does not strike her that both architecture marvels are mere eternal tombstones for kings and queens set in two different continents!

Marwah’s dream does not come true as her husband expires within three months of marriage. He has left her five weeks pregnant. Her mother makes her abort the child so that she can be remarried. Distraught at the tragedy she seeks answers when she comes to India with her second husband. She finds the business card of the Indian couple that promises to take her to see the Taj Mahal in Agra. On hearing her tragic story they give her the email id of a lady they know who could help her. Marwah learns about souls which her religion has never taught. She is shocked! In her religion, the dead cannot come to life. Nevertheless she is open to communication with the soul with the help of a medium.

Spring, 2007- Queensland, Australia

40-year-old Tamara and her husband Francis are to shift to India because of his job. Their 16 year old teenage daughter is also accompanying them. The daughter is pregnant because of a date rape. The girl sees visions of a bodyless person wanting to enter her womb. A soul wants a human life. It pushes ahead and does not want to be thrown back in the universe via abortion.

In India they discover they their daughter cannot abort. She wants the child to live and so does the child who wants to enter the womb. She is willing to undergo the teenage pregnancy. She is inspired by a soldier’s wife in Iraq. His frozen semen was used to impregnate the wife so that he could live again. She wants to encourage life as a good Christian.

Three unknown human beings, connect spiritually to an unknown soul. There is a vast difference between the earth and the universe in terms of time and space. Yet people connect over lifetimes through their karmas. No matter what medical science says, no matter what psychotherapists analyze, no matter what religion teaches, no matter what culture impart- we are all one connected spiritually to one another. That’s why souls keep coming to earth. Love conquers all and brings on the peace universally.

our dad

If only Dad was here again
Without a monster in his brain
We would know that he was there
And let him know we really care

Dad’s a man who will protect
And never ever disrespect
With all our hearts we love this man
We are just like his “little clan”

Us four boys already know
That our Dad, he loves us so
He is always in our soul
Something that you can’t control

Although it’s aching in our hearts
We know that we’re not far apart
He’s all around us everywhere
We know because we feel him there

We think we’ll meet again someday
And all the things we need to say
Like “we love you Dad”, but we can see
Your time has come, and now you’re free

free to be me… free to be you…

Us — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:38:02 +0000

I am Free
Free to be
Free to be me
For all to see

And in me being Free…..

You are Free too
Free to be
Free to be you
For all to see

If we learn to love everyone
For whom they are
We allow them to be
Their own shining star

Honour and accept
The souls on the street
Share our essence
With all those we meet

Support and cherish
Feel the joy in giving
Encourage and inspire
Give our gift to the living

You are Free
Free to be
Free to be you
For all to see

And in you being Free…..

I am Free
Free to be
Free to be me
For all to see

When dusk turns to dawn
I will be there for you
Through the bad and the good
The black and the blue
I will be there because I love you

Even though we aren’t together
I still love you
your the best friend I have ever had
you listen you care you do everything fair

When I am dying and turning blue
I will still be there watching over you
watching over from the highest of heaven
watching over you 24/7

saving me

I’m in a moment
pain washes over me
tears from years and years gone by
fade me into time
but I have a moment
and through pain I breathe
wonders and wonders
I dream to be
wonders I am
in this moment
and the knives determnined
to cut…yes to cut
holes again
I close my eyes
and the flodded fountain washes over me
screams unheard
for in this moment I breathe
that what I am
I am a wonder…

A possible vision: Social Harmony

Us — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:39:14 +0000

This short article is about a possible social vision.
The vision is that different people can live together in a dynamic social harmony.
I think and believe that each and every one of us has the right to live their private life as they want, as long as they don’t harm others.
Each and every one of us can imagine how they would feel if something they enjoy doing (and doesn’t harm others) was forbidden. Imagine that for a moment.
This is the beginning (but not the end) of building a society that would be nice and fun to live in. To build such society we need to find the dynamic balance between equal opportunities and recognizing (and excepting) the different (in abilities and wills) between people.
This will allow the difference between people to co-exist without causing conflicts and will allow us to make some social reforms that are much needed.
I think that the more we are aware to ourselves and the surround us, the more we realize that many of the things that bother us are caused by us and by our actions and what we allow others (sometimes by our silence) to do. This is the reason that I believe that we can change (and even better – improve) the things that bother us.
Instead of just being afraid from changes, we better check if the fear is good and keeps us from making mistakes, or the fear is bad and comes from a fixed frame of mind.
In addition, in order to allow the changes to take place, we need to work in many levels, beginning from the individual action (and the group) and all the way to the public arena and the political sphere.
If we’ll decide that we want to deal with the causes of the problems (and not just with the results) and we’ll thinks of the consequences of the different ways to take action, we’ll be able to make the improvements.
In order to achieve social harmony we have to protect the individual from majority tyranny and we also have to protect society from dangerous individuals and groups.
The discourse between the different people and groups should be based on real information, tolerance and respect for the other as well as for ourselves.
If we’ll know, as a society and as individuals, to evaluate others according to what they say and do, we can set the foundation for basic equality. By basic equality I mean an equality that is not affected by political and social opinions, beliefs and religion, gender, nationality, ethnic group, etc. (each of us can think of other factors that can create unjustified discrimination and bias). However, it is very important to me in this point to emphasize that I’m not trying to describe an ideal society, because I don’t believe in that. I think that the different utopian societies are not possible in real life, because they show a static society when life in real is dynamic with constant changes.
In addition, I’m not looking for a society in which all people are the same, because I think that no two people are the same.
I think that we can take from each culture the good parts and this way each of us can keep their heritage. This will give us the opportunity to combine the different cultures together, where possible. This way we can also find the balance between the different beliefs in our society.
In addition, I’m not suggesting that we can (or should) agree on everything all the time, but simply trying to say that in many cases it is possible, if we really want to give it a chance. I don’t think that a collision between societies (cultures, or civilizations…) is the only possible future, because in the end it all comes down to people. In many areas even I predict collisions, but I think that we can minimize their affect if we’ll be responsible even when we fight for our rights, opinions and beliefs.
The way we chose to take our actions is very important because when we choose only the violence way we create the feeling that only violence matters and we also create a legacy and atmosphere of violence.
We can reduce the level of violence if we look at every event with proportions, truth and morality. Maybe it won’t be easy, but it’s possible and depends also on each and every one of us and the way we choose to live our life.
Instead of just grouching, lets try to improve the things that bother us.

A Summer’s Breeze

The Monarch rides the summer’s breeze
darting, dancing to and fro
No apparent goal, no direct path
Until it reaches the the brightest flower to taste the nectar of success.

We too float on destiny’s breezes
Our dreams the unseen map
They carry us to life’s success
To those we love and who love us.

“You slipped away
The taste of your kiss
Surrendering my unwillingness
Who are you stranger?
The bird never took his eye of me
Observing my stubborness
While I died in Love

I am the One, I am None
You can never have me
Whispering it in my hair
Listening , begging
I will never have You
Please beautiful
Delicious pain
never go away”

Leonardo Maldini Leno (2009)
