Time is a gift
Don't waste it
As if you had forever
Don't be stupid
All the children in black portraying Doom,
prophesizing Gloom
Well you know we are in our Space
Going somewhere, some place
Don't appear to be in a Hurry to get there
What you see is fragmented people
doing fragmented things
May tell you that the world is insane
Confused to the maximum
Don't let it tell you that
' that's all it is'
Cause we ain't liking that news
Stop yourself, don't be a fool
by patterning yourself after what men do
" Jesus Alvaro!" I said.
I knew he had been waiting for me.
"Did you have fun?" he joked.
"Whew, what can I tell you," I replied. "Thanks, Alvaro."
We walked in silence for a while, and then we turned and went back to the entrance.
"You have to come out periodically now," Alvaro said. "If you keep 'centered' there we're off on an adventure of a lifetime, believe me"
" I am on an adventure of a lifetime," I smiled."Right now!"
"Let's get Tomas" said Alvaro, "I'm hungry."
And so was I. Thank you Grandfather, Thank you Creator came from me, and I went inside.

When I looked into the pouch the elder had given me, there were a bunch of dark berries inside.
"Know what those are?" the Elder asked me.
I allowed I didn't.
"If you hydrate those, the berry will turn red and it is... delicious. But it's not for you to overindulge in."
"These berries were in the biscuits you gave to me and Robert." I guessed. "What are they for?"
"They are from the 'truth' plant. When ingested properly, there is an attitudinal shift of awareness. If done properly, a person doesn't notice the gradual shift. If done in the wrong setting paranoia sets in and the person feels like everyone sees right through them. This can cause aberrant behavior and psychic claustrophobia. That's why you ate two and Robert only ate one and was left alone. That way we're pretty sure that he shot straight. At the end of his summation he becomes despondent. This is because he has seen the truth of his experiences and in his beingness, he can perceive the truth. He knows no way to remedy the situation for others or for himself. Remember, limited personal knowledge exposed to bare truth is often lacking. Here Spiritual intelligence is born."
-From Neishtes journals "Into the Night"
Everyday you increase and exercise your Being,
the easier it is to 'see' the 'animal' in people;
the easier it is to 'see' the Human and
the Human condition in people.
you will perceive clearly and succinctly
because you do not have to falsify
your ability to perceive 'things' as they are.
This brings power of Life to your Spirit - to your soul.
You do not have to go around developing a false ego
in order to defend your actions or your 'self'.
You do not have to falsify images in order to live an imaginary 'self'.
You are Human, and a Spirit in a heavenly environment.
Through your 'Beingness' there is a unity; a oneness inside your 'self'.
There is no 'duality'.
Your sensory system aligns and is untiringly Alert;
Intuition serves this 'existential awareness'
as well as revelation.
You can perceive and know without questioning.
The golden rule is: the more you are 'Being' your Being,
the more impeccable you become to your Beingness.
You can 'listen' and 'act' with the will of Grandfather,
with all the 'reality' of your immortal Spirit.
In Christian terms, the more like an 'angel' you perceive 'yourself,
the more you can listen and do the will Of God.
Your soul has been realized
When we rounded another curve in the side of the cave, we found six or seven back packs.
" Grab this one," Alvaro said. "If they go through it, they'll find used gear and food, dirty clothes and blankets. You tell them that you had walked the mountains photographing birds. There's a 35mm camera and pictures of different species of birds, taken in these mountains. This won't stall them forever. Look for a chance to shore up your story. Try to avoid confrontation. I don't think they're here, but always be prepared."
He paused as we got to the outside entrance, "Beyond here is the zoo. We are going to start walking and getting our strength to maximum. The Elder said for me to give you this."
Alvaro handed me a bag " Do you know what pemmican is?" I shook my head no. " The minute we encounter someone, put a pinch into your mouth but don't ingest it until we see if there is an imminent threat or danger."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Just do what I told you. I don't think we'll have trouble tonight. This is like a fire drill, got it?" Alvaro instructed.
"Yeah," I said "Let's do it!"
My energy was suspended and ready. We went through the doorway and pushed through the bushes hiding the entrance. Alvaro went first. The cold air brought my whole beingness into attention and awareness.
The night!
The night impacted upon me in a way I would have never expected. I was an alien to this planet. Beautiful beyond belief. After being deep within the mountain for so long, I really had been in sensory deprivation although I didn't mentally feel as if I was.
Alvaro said " Beyond belief isn't it."
"It sure is," sounding as if I was whispering. Let me just sit here awhile," I said to Alvaro. "No matter what happens, I want to always remember this night."

Habits from the past keep you from taking part in the present,
hinder your "being" from the creator farther than you deserve.
Yoga and meditation help to bring you to the awareness of
being-in-the-world thoroughly, opening up energy that reverberates
and is constantly with you.
Your Inheritance!
Here asking grandfather/the creator to help,
can be helpful but
you have to "listen " more.
Then the sacred can talk to you.
Moods are strange things,
Like objects barely seen on the horizon
of twilight,
Shadows backlit by the setting sun,
letting me perceive only the absence of light.
Moods left unchallenged,
on the Horizon of consciousness,
best viewed from afar
Once the Shadows assemble
in the Streams of present thought,
the very Spirit, the very Soul
of oneself may become,
succumb to the bygone energy,
brought to Life again,
making the present become like the shadows,
and perhaps lost to sight, altogether.
I may have transformed
or grown in Wisdom
through one simple acknowledgment
By the realization that I must
stop the incessant internal mental program
that kept
Finding blame and fault
in all of Life
and Life situations
Somewhere, gradually, there is the perception,
that contained in us,
is the future birth of all that
has yet to blossom and fulfill.
Yet through continual judgement
and damnation of our acts ,
the possibility of yet unlived seasons,
will dehydrate and crysalise.
If you move from assemblage to assemblage, looking externally for harmony,
your internal harmony can be greatly disrupted by your own counterproductive,
negative thoughts; thereby eliciting emotions and giving rise to Old feelings. The real
disruption is to your 'Self' in the internal universe. Certain events/stimuli are always
going to evoke this assembledge as unification of Being shifts to the center.
Fugues, destructive reactions, are potentially harmful. This inner distortion has a way of
amplifying and you become an external negative force to others
Learn to appreciate your life and Gift of Birth
Energy
Can be heavy, can be light, can be many things.
Yet we Speak of Energy in many contexts.
Human Life is all about Energy. We are made of Energy and
we live in a sea of Energy. Everyday we exchange and consume energy.
We give and we receive energy and often constrict energy.
We speak of being up-down, lack of energy or full of it.
You have to Be this phenomenon, perceive this phenomenon,
observe this phenomenon and be grateful for the gift of this phenomenon.
When I’m not centered and energetic, circumstance is ‘perceived’ by me to be a shade, or to a large degree, worse than at ‘other times!’ I personally, physically and mentally am glad to BE-HERE, existentially, now.
Now ‘other times’ have a way of shading, to a larger or lesser degree, my existential awareness of “Balanced.’ These ‘ other times’ have a psychic structure. One we can Spiritually recognize and in most cases, effectively deal with. Thusly healing ourselves.
The ‘Being” as it opens, is personally seeking unification with the Spirit. It must integrate the 'Animal' as it is; the 'Human' as it has done.
The Beingness in you can become peaceful, disciplined; spiritually peaceful-intuitive and sensitive. Thus, Spirit and Unification with existence becomes Personal and Omnipresent...
It is important for you to grow and evolve while on earth. The knowledge of Being- in-the-World is not the only knowledge. There is being-inside-yourself There is a need to become 'centered', in your own energy, in order that you can come to an at-oneness with the spiritual as well. I do not mean that Spiritual is any magic concoction; it is however, that sense-of-beingness which allows each of us to be individuated within the Field of Life. Knowledge of 'self is only one system in the totality of many, many response centers.
To the Green Isle of Home
We sit here
at the edge of
eternity and think
of things we've done
places we've been
Here we are on
Dingle Bay, thinking of the way
it was when Ireland was
'Our' land.
'Our' land in the vernacular.
And I remember the kiss of morning dew
in the hills right before fall was through.
The fresh free air of the Sea
with the salty wind in your hair
Somewhere in time,
not so long ago in Ireland
As tribal entities and beings, we are members of a "community" in nature. We use this community for out living relationships and our personal and tribal needs. In turn, all things existing in nature are considered both ethically and in Spiritual respect. All existing forms have a relationship; whether we understand this connection or not.
Talks with Neishte Part 7
I was told to start taking some breaths. And as you let all your air out your lungs collapse, you have a sound, which you make kinda of like your mantra. Its the last sound a human being makes, in this manifestation. As I did that, my body began to feel unified and my body had a field of energy.
So what we want to do is to learn to prolong this vibration, without any force. After drawing a deep breath, let it all out, pushing the stomach towards your back, ( the diaphragm pushes against the lungs) pushing the breath out. And you make a sound as you are releasing your breath. ( Like OM or whatever). As I do that, slowly my mind begins to match with the vibration thats coming out of my beingness, out of my lungs. everybodys different , but they all sing the same song. (You are letting it all go. At this point there is no going back. There is no point in trying to carry all your worries with you)
This then becomes your dance of death.
Grandfather, thank you for letting me be human. I appreciate this. Let me always walk in this energy. Let me always have this ability, no matter what the world of man may do.
You learn to the sing the day, you learn to sing the morning, you learn to sing anything. You don’t have to think, sort of like drumming. Grandfather, or whatever you call it, you don’t even have to have a name, Grandfather, help me to know this.
Then, through this, our centers can begin to blend. And then when we look inward, we can look into that space and see what’s there. We don’t have to act like an automaton, nor do we have to act like a disobedient child. We can live this way at least on our own land.
Its important to practice this as much as possible before you get to the point of, “I thought I had more time,”
