We're still here...but where is 'here' exactly?

Can't believe it's been a year since my last post so I thought I should write another one...although I have to say...not much springs to mind these days. Busy, busy . busy I seem to be to not much end. But that also seems to be the case with a lot of people so maybe that's where 'here' is. A wee tad unfulfilling though.
From a spiritual viewpoint I know that I'm at that outward part of the Labyrinth and things will no doubt change at the appropriate time. Sometimes survival is a precedent.
Can't wait to turn the next bend tho' :) .

The 'Gates of Necessity'.......'End time' or 'Awakening' ?

The Mayans play on my mind....or maybe it's how people have interpreted their calendar. I am none the wiser, I feel,  as there are so many viewpoints to take into consideration..and so there should be.
But I also continue to feel a 'quickening'.
Over the last few months I have tried to come to terms with what form this 'quickening' is shaping into. 'Discontent' is the word that springs to mind.
   Will this lead to a 'Spiritual Awakening'  on the 21/12/2012 at 11.11, as so predicted by many prophets? Or the also frequently prohesised 'End Time.'
If the 'awakening' comes I feel that it will be more out of necessity than will for the 'Gates of Necessity' are now opening.
It is now up to the individual to decide whether they wish to walk through...

The Once and Future King

The BBC show 'Merlin' is now back on the T.V. just a few weeks after the first series of Channel 4's 'Camelot' ended. It appears that the west needs it's Arthurian fix every now and again. The important question one must ask is Why? Maybe it rests deep within our psyche..a whispering remembrance that never quite goes away. Rememberence being the key. I am not the only one who recognises that Christianity for the west is a 'desert' religion imposed upon a 'forest' people. I am not anti-christian I hasten to add. We all find our own way to the light. One must also recognise that even the arthurian saga has been christianised. But even myths may shape shift to ensure survival.
And survive the myth has. King? Commander in Chief of the dark age celts? Welsh God with a name change? Whatever or whoever Arthur is to us one can be sure that his memory ( however interpreted) lives on.

The finger points...

I sat today and looked
Amazed at what I saw
I didn't see a fin
And I didn't see a paw
I glimpsed no stem nor leaf
But I may have spied a wing
And I wondered at the sight
Of the land where people sing
And I am left to ponder on a thought that's sure to linger
I must return again to where Spirit points the finger

Is it Judgement Day for Ostriches?

This is my thought today following on from what I said in my previous blog.
There are riots happening around Briton. London was burning last night. People lost their homes, businesses and livliehoods. This can never be condoned! But simple condemnation is an easy comment to make also. We all have a part in society so here's the question. If I was telling my work colleagues weeks ago that this would happen why wasn't anyone else? There is such a BIG difference between what we want to happen and what is likely to happen. What is going on? WAKE UP PEOPLE! If you cannot feel even a little that there is true discontent within our western society it is very worrying.
   Let's take the British economy. Does an average house price that is 6 times the average salary really work?Obviously not.  Do massive cuts on income and living standards sit well with people who did not do anything wrong? (i.e. They are not investment bankers!). Are politicians really, REALLY IN TOUCH?  Now the people who riot,I feel care not of such things, but there is now a firework labelled 'Discontent' and anything can light it.
    London hosts the Olympics next year. It was quite a damning picture on T.V. today looking at the London Eye framed by black smoke from the burning remnants of riots in Ealing last night.
I repeat that I do not condone what has happened over the last 3 days but similar things are happening across the world.
One has a choice. Usually NIMBY works quite well for some but people's back yards may seem a lot smaller over the coming weeks unless someone gets a grip. I was led to an article by Camila Batmanghelijdh in the Independent and it is well worth a read.
As for this particular blog post I am not enjoying writing it. There is no spiritual slant that I can see. No fluffy bunny stuff. No 'Peace is all' rubbish.  
But I will say this.
'Leave my family alone. Leave my property alone. Leave me alone.'
I am trying to see the bigger picture but I am not responsible.
I just hope everyone can say the same.
May those that watch bring peace to Britons' shores this evening and beyond.
Yours sincerely,
B.C.

Where is the world now?

This is a question I have been asking myself recently. The moderates revolt in my homecountry, famine, political unrest, phone hacking and immoral invasion of privacy, financial hard times on a global scale and a general disollusion with the way of things. I sometimes contemplate the thoughts of an advanced alien race landing on earth and wondering about the imbalance of it all.
   What can be done? Well, I have no answer but can't help but think it lies with the individual. Let's all create what we can to benefit not just ourselves but others. If we grow, the world grows as a result. It's not a solution but it is a start. That ladder that we pull up, let's extend it back down. How rich we are is no way to guage our contribution to humanity. As hard as it is,to live with love can be the only way. But sometimes it must be tough love. We must all take responsibiity. The spiritual path often shows itself when cracks appear. Unfortunately, there are many who walk this earth with  no cracks having appeared just yet. There lies the problem. Let's not wait for the crack to be so large as it breaks everything asunder. The picture is big, not small and one must take time to look at it, contemplate it and see what one can add to it.
The future is in our hands, but maybe for not much longer, if we don't mold it for the greater good.
Let's avoid the 'bitter pill'.

Heed the precarious whisper...

The air is still, momentrily, on this longest of days but the words 'long' and 'short' are very subjective. There are many, now, who need to grasp this idea quickly. The world has been spinning happily for a very long time and this needs to be remembered. Go talk to 'Bran' if this is a concept too difficult to grasp. He may listen to you but don't be surprised if he pays you no heed. For he does remember and remember and remember. 
We are now talking about 'seconds to minight' in the grand scheme of things and our leaders are losing the way. Something will occur to redress this imbalance but it may not be pretty. It will affect everybody!
The Lords and Ladies of the Light and Dark are running out of patience and the 'quickening' has begun, for they are sick of the ostrich shaped bodies that men have decided to adopt.
Look to the future, not just for yourself, but for the whole of humankind. Do you think it looks good? Really? Honestly? Heads out of the sandly?
'Man cannot live by bread alone.'
Will the change be gradual or a 'bitter pill?'
I'm not telling as I don't deal in prophecy.  I leave that to others.
Yours with love,
B.C.
