Brotherhood of man

We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea,

And we owe each other a terrible loyalty.

PSYCHE

My psyche is my experience, my experience is my psyche.

Many people used to believe that angels moved the stars. It now appears that they do not.

As a result of this and like revelations, many people do not now believe in angels.

Many people used to believe that the 'seat' of the soul was somewhere in the brain.

Since brains began to be opened up frequently, no one has seen 'the soul'.

As a result of this and like revelations, many people do not now believe in the soul.

Who could suppose that angels move the stars,

Or be so superstitious as to suppose that because one cannot see

One's soul at the end of a microscope it does not exist?

Bertrand Russel - The Politics Of Experience & The Bird Of Paradise by R.D. Laing

TRUTH

"When you make the two one, and

when you make the inner as the outer

and the outer as the inner and the above

as the below, and when

you make the male and the female into a single one,

so that the male will not be male and

the female not be female, when you make

eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand

in the place of a hand, and a foot in the place

of a foot, and an image in the place of an image,

then shall you enter the Kingdom."

-- as quoted by Doubting Thomas

	Jackwrote: A Special World A special world for you and me A special bond one cannot see It wraps us up in its cocoon And holds us fiercely in its womb. Its fingers spread like fine spun gold Gently nestling us to the fold Like silken thread it holds us fast Bonds like this are meant to last. And though at times a thread may break A new one forms in its wake To bind us closer and keep us strong In a special world, where we belong. - Sheelagh Lennon - Jacques June 11

	Jackwrote: We stood beside the daffodils the evenig sun flamed over the bay; we saw the river from the hills the hours gently passed away. You were my girl, I was your boy in days when life was full of joy. And even now, I reminisce still see the sunset over the bay and feel the magic of your kiss - the years withering away! You're still my girl, I am your boy, dreams of you are dreams of joy. Jack Apr. 10
