I want to share one of my favorite bits of "the little green book" from reading I've been doing today and yesterday.

The universe of forms has been made by formless living substance, throwing itself into form in order to express itself more fully. (Ch. 3)

I don't feel the need to expound on this. What more needs to be said? It's a fabulous statement in its visual nature and in its taking a universal - beyond universal - point of view. I love what he goes on to say:

The thought of a moving universe extended throughout formless substance, and the thinking stuff — moving according to that thought — took the form of systems of planets, and maintains that form. Thinking substance takes the form of its thought, and moves according to the thought. Holding the idea of a circling system of suns and worlds, it takes the form of these bodies, and moves them as it thinks. (Ch. 4)

I just want to share the lyrics to the beautiful song I'm hearing right now, Wade Imre Morissette's Ganga River:

Ganga River, Ganga River

Which way am I going?
Can you see me growing?
Can you feel my longing?
Do you think I am belonging?

Ganga river cause the rivers flows
Ganga river cause the rivers knows
Ganga river flows

What is your message?
Which path do I take?
Am I taken care of?
Is it safe to come out?

Ganga river cause the rivers flows
Ganga river cause the rivers knows
Ganga river flows

How I am gaging?
Your grace and your guidance
What can I do for you now?
I offer my life

Cause the river flows
Casue the river knows
Cause the river flows

Shows me the way
Sits me to pray
Helps me to say

Ganga Ganga
I choose to take flight
With all of my might
I am taking no prisoners
I am creating my life

Cause the river flows
Casue the river knows
Cause the river flows

Lead me home

I don't have much else to say right now. I'm going to go meditate.
Gratefully yours,

I.P.
