Be Happy!

Saw a screening of "Happy!" the movie at the Randwick Ritz last night with 600 of our closest friends, sponsored by Wake Up Sydney! Such beautiful imagery, and such a moving affirmation of how happiness is accessible to all of us, no matter where we are or what happens to us.

Over Thinking!

Overly using intellect causes the mind to become busy and fragmented. According to Tibetan Medicine, every state of mind is associated with its own energy, so that the subtle nervous system can become busy vibrating with various conflicting energies. This can lead to a painful condition the Tibetans call 'lung', meaning frustrated energy at the heart. It is important to know when to relax, put aside intellect, and let the mind settle into its natural state of clarity.

Stardust!

"Life is debris" according to cosmologists. The building blocks of life come from nucleo-synthesis, the process of heavy element creation from deep within stars. When these stars exhaust their fuel, they blast their material out into space to begin the generation of new stars. And from generation to generation an abundance of heavy elements forms the planets, comets, asteroids, and the things we human beings are made of. Nucleo-synthesis suggest that all life is merely a product of natural processes and not unusual to our world. We are all made of stardust!

The Tree of Life!

Saw the movie, "The Tree of Life" yesterday. What a frustrating, yet wonderful experience! A haunting metaphor on the search for God. And how the Universe and all creation can be found in the intricate dynamics of a single family. "Where were you?" whispers the voice-over. Wherever love is, seems to be the answer.
