in truth and justice...

In matters of truth and justice, 

there is no difference between 

large and small problems -

for issues concerning

the treatment of people

are all the same.

only through love...

For small creatures such as we 

the vastness is bearable only through 

love.

to seek...

 what each must seek 

in his life never was 

on land or sea -

it is something out of

his own unique 

potentiality for experience

something that never has been and 

never could have been 

experienced by anyone else -

which way do you choose?

there are two ways to live:

you can live as if 

nothing is a miracle -

you can live as if 

everything is a miracle -

the beauty of mystery...

the most beautiful thing 

we can experience

is the mysterious -

it is the source of 

all true art and all science. 

he to whom

this emotion is a stranger, 

who can no longer 

pause to wonder and 

stand rapt in awe, 

is as good as dead:

his eyes are closed -

what is life?

What is life? 

A frenzy.

What is life?

An illusion, a shadow, a fiction.

And the greatest good is trivial; 

for all life is a dream and all dreams are dreams.

today and every day....

harness your inner strength

ESPERANZA [by Trish MacGregor] - BOOK REVIEW

 travel to ESPERANZA and into yourSELF

For starters, I will begin by telling you what ESPERANZA is NOT - yes, what it is NOT - now I do not ever like to begin anything with a “negative” of any kind - however, in this case, with this book, it is the only way to proceed - so here is what it is NOT:

ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical work of fiction!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical suspense novel!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical thriller!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical science fiction!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical paranormal read!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical historical novel!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical mystical experience!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical love story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical life after death book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical reincarnation story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical spiritual journey story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical time-travel book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical spirit world trip!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical mystery!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical metaphysical instructional manual!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical book on spirit possession!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical tourist guide book!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical ghost story!
ESPERANZA is NOT the average or typical saga of the struggle between the good and evil!

ESPERANZA is ALL those things!  

IT IS ALL OF THEM! 

BUT, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever average or typical about this book!  NOTHING! 

ESPERANZA is the extraordinary tale of two strangers who meet under extraordinary circumstances in an extraordinary setting [a place in the Andes called ESPERANZA which means “hope”] and whose paths lead them on an even greater extraordinary journey - a journey filled with mysticism and adventure and love - love beyond mere physical love - a love that “transcends time and death” and an adventure into the unknown, the unlived and into a life beyond death, where the two of them hold the key to the time-old mystical battle fought among the living and the good and the bad spirit worlds -

In ESPERANZA you will meet and come to know the beautiful native people whose magnificent ancient Incan heritage is alive and well today!

In ESPERANZA you will walk the “...shadowed, cobbled streets of...this...old town...where your...eyes must adjust to the antiquity, the brilliant colors, the poverty...where your senses...don’t know which cue to follow - the scents or the colors, the touch of the past, the music that energizes the air...or...the taste of the foods...”

In ESPERANZA you will come to know in a familiar way the intriguing characters involved in this magnificent story - them and their families - you will come to think of them outside the covers of this book - you will think of them as you go about your daily routine - you will think of them!

In ESPERANZA you will not only follow Tess and Ian and Dominica and Ben on their own journeys, you will find yourself making your own personal quest into this world, the other world, and into yourSELF!

Above and beyond all, ESPERANZA is a mesmerizing tale of mystery, mysticism, adventure and love - and HOPE - in a setting you will long remember and a tale which will leave you not just wanting more, but needing more - of the work of its author, TRISH MACGREGOR!

Available at Amazon!

So, stay tuned for the sequel!!!

[Just as an aside, I’m also contacting the Trish to let her know of my availability for playing either of the main female characters in the movie!   Oh, yes, this has to be a movie!  See you in the theatres!!!]

========================================

Most of you are by now very familiar with our friends and neighbors here in blogland, Trish and Rob MacGregor, http://ofscarabs.blogspot.com/.  Their last book, The 7 Secrets of Synchronicity is now available at bookstores everywhere.  In the event you’ve not yet read this great book, you are doing yourself a disservice.  Leave here and go immediately to your nearest bookstore or click over to Amazon and get your copy of this one, too.  Now.

As an aside, if you are not a regular blogger here and you are wondering why the name MacGregor sounds a bit familiar to you, it could be because they are both award winning authors whose non-fiction books include subjects of dreams, astrology, yoga and animal symbolism and paranormal phenomena such as UFO’s.   Rob MacGregor has appeared on several major television network channels and also wrote Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and six other of the Indiana Jones original novels.  The fictional work of Trish MacGregor is replete with subjects of time travel, micro-chipping of animals and people, vanishings, parallel existences, governmental involvement and cover-ups, and more.  Check them both out at Amazon.  Do it now - don’t wait.

a little food for thought?

just came across these while roaming around youtube this morning - 

totally fascinating to me - 

but then, i'm not an expert - 

so, what do you think???

the shadow...

Where love reigns, 

there is no will to power;

and where the 

will to power is paramount, 

love is lacking. 

The one is but 

the shadow of the other.

RUN not walk

the breeding of war...

In all history
there is
no war
which was
not
hatched by
the governments,
the governments alone,
independent of the interests of the people,
to whom
war is always pernicious
even when successful.

the tango...

 our

natural

state

of

being

is

in

relationship

a

tango

a

constant

state

of

one

influencing

the

other

on the wings of ecstasy...

Ecstasy carries you

completely outside

your ego boundaries. 

In ecstasy

you know yourself 

as cosmic ego,

unbounded

in time and space.

1984 reality...

 "We control matter

because 

we control the mind. 

Reality

is inside the skull." 

1984 by George Orwell

Part 3, Chapter 3, pg. 268

the heart of the universe...

the secret of attraction

is to

love yourself

attractive people judge

neither themselves nor others -

they are open to gestures of love -

they think about love

and express their love 

in every action -

they know that love

is not a mere sentiment

but the ultimate truth

at the heart of 

the universe -

the far away friend...

A friend who is far away 

is sometimes much nearer 

than one who is at hand. 

Is not the mountain far more 

awe-inspiring and more clearly visible 

to one passing through the valley 

than to those who inhabit the mountain?

to be free...

there are many ways to be free -

one of them is to transcend reality

by imagination

as i try to do

the magic mirror...

The eye speaks

with an 

eloquence and truthfulness 

surpassing speech. 

It is the window 

out of which 

the winged thoughts 

often fly unwittingly. 

It is the tiny magic mirror 

on whose crystal surface 

the moods of feeling 

fitfully play, 

like the sunlight and shadow 

on a still stream.
