"If you want to see something, open your eyes. If you want to know something, close your eyes." _Ramtha

The Teacher will come when the Student is ready.

so true... and so easy to forget. i often wonder how I could ever stop doing something that feels so good, so right but then am reminded (re-minded) that I wouldn't even recognize it if I didn't know it's opposite. so i once again try to love all that is. _scotty reed 5/19/2011

Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Diversion: An activity without thoughful purpose.

Consuming more than one produces brings forth disharmony.

Being the spectator all the time leaves one feeling unfulfilled, in need.

Yet if I am only the Participant then I'm likely to miss your contribution.

I am reminded (re-minded) once again; Well-Being is all about balance.

Turn your mind away from things which are not permanent.

Morpheus: I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Neo: The Matrix. Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?

Neo: Yes. Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.

''Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.''
__Morpheus: The Matrix

I just completed the book The Moses Code. I highly recommend it for a more spiritual take on the Law of Attraction.

Sometimes you are working on mastering the Law of Attraction, and you reach a roadblock of sorts. (It’s not really, though, more like an opportunity for healing a limited belief.)

You work on this by asking yourself questions to determine the root of the blockage. But then it doesn’t feel like it’s enough, or you feel you need to approach it from a different direction.

That is your soul talking to you.

You see, learning how to manifest a vacation or a new car is wonderful, but its not life fulfilling. You all know the stories of the unhappy little rich girl…

What is fulfilling is aligning yourself with your highest vibration - and that highest vibration is your piece of God that is within you.

Your Piece!

Your Peace.

So the journey is ever continuing, and it never ends.

“You can never get it wrong,

You can never get it all done.”

Ego: Edging God Out
__Unknown

"Pretentiousness is being cheap with your ego""I used to be the kind of person who disliked stupid people.. then I progressed to only disliking those who were stupid but who wouldn't admit to it.. now I realize it is I who am stupid for disliking anyone at all.. .and stupidity can be a great virtue.""All lies are true... all truths are lies""There is no bad or good... only stuff and circumstance""The more I think.. the less I know.. and the corrillary is true as well... the more I know.. the less I think""If it is truth you seek you should comprehend everything as an illusion""A sad but common plieght: If you want to make someone like you... concentrate on making them like themselves.... your own self-improvement, on the other hand, will ultimately make them dislike you, since it will make them feel less good about themselves" "Why do things have to be material to really matter?.. (because it's even built into our language.. "matter" is the only thing that "matters" to us...matter is material... material is matter)"

tonight
i danced with you
running my fingertips
upon your face
down your eyes
and to your lace
i touched you softly
without a tear
whispering love
into your ear
tonight
i danced with you
my dear

__Scotty Reed 2008.3.25

Some say I shouldn’t cry
But I don’t care anymore
I’ll cry for the many times I’ve missed
Telling you how much I loved your kiss
Today I’ll cry
For tomorrow may never come

__Scott Reed 2008.03.05

What does it mean
When the wind reminds me of you
Blowing past me
I can feel it
But I cannot hold it
What does it mean
When the clouds remind me of you
High above in the sky
Beyond my reach
What does it mean
When the evening stars shine bright
And yet darkness prevails
What does it mean
When the rain reminds me of you
falling upon the dust of the earth
to quench its ever lasting thirst

__Scotty Reed 2008.03.04

Like tears
on broken faces
You are real
Without the facades
With all the sorrow
And the pain
Without tomorrow
You are real
No layers to peel
No hidden agendas
Just pure
You are real
For Once
What I see is what I see
I know your intention
For it is Love

__Scotty Reed 2008.2.11

Dust Me Off Tavish

Dust the thoughts that life is sane
Dust me off

Dust the reason that makes it plain
Dust me off

Dust the doubts of love remain

__Scotty Reed 2008.02.06

In this moment
I couldn’t love you more
I couldn’t touch your face
Or feel your hair upon my fingers
Any more

In this moment
Your eyes run deep into my soul
The wind has calmed
The leaves have fallen

All I see is you
Or are you me
Has time stopped upon this water of age
Or lifted high our greatest love

In this moment
I long to hold your hand forever
Run the river of life’s longing
Taste the passion of only you

In This Moment

__Scotty Reed 2008.01.30

My Catalyst of Change

There is a reason we have met
And connected
It’s true there are always reasons
But some reasons have greater purpose
A more powerful meaning
More than others at time
You recognize these… by how they make you feel
“Feel” being the key word here
Feelings are your gates to God
Your highest thought
Your truest meaning
Words are usually from man
But feelings are from God
There are many ways, which God speaks to you
In words
In music
In thoughts
But the one she speaks to you the most through is feeling
Feelings are the door to your soul
I am not sure my angel what this all means right now
But I do know this is a rare moment
So for now, I will hold you dear
Until my heart is paused
This time I am listening
I am not running anymore
Against my worldly reason
Because my love my feelings are out of this world
Out of my mind

You have become my highest thought; the one which contains Joy
My clearest words; those which contain truth
And my grandest feeling; that feeling which I call love.

This time... it's not about me. I wish to be your mirror, your eyes to your soul and the beauty of it all.
