"To Know"

"To know" is a verb.
As our 6th grade teacher said, "A verb is an action word."
Knowing is a activity we engage in.
Knowing is a process that we learn.
Knowledge or knowing is not a thing to have, it is a doing, it is a purposeful stirring of your energies.
To know is a learning process.
To know is an experiencing of reality.
Where there is no action, knowledge is not.

Seed Meditations

Adapted or adopted from Meister Eckhart:
~ Prayer is made pure by the pure heart.
~ It is always in the process.
~ It is good to me if I give birth within myself, in my time, in my culture.
~ To bear fruit, let go and let be.
~ Every single thing points me toward God, so that I come to grasp God in all things.
~ Share with others, share joy, share spiritual things, hare myself.
~ The spirit comes from within me; the holy spirit comes from within me.
~ Learn inner solitude; learn to penetrate things and find God there.
~ Look on everything as divine.
~ Reside in justice and so reside in God.
~If something outside me compels me to work, that work is dead.
~ That which moves me to work from the innermost region of my soul, there is my life.

What is to be learned from the experience of organized labor and collective bargaining?

What is the process of agreement?

How does a group come to an understanding?

How does one group come to an understanding with another group?

I know war and force have been useful, but neither tend to lead to win/win situations.

What is a process that tends to a peaceful prouctive understanding among people?

I Have Heard it Said that .....

Getting there is half the fun.

Temples have been founts of enlightenment because their doors have been open to flow of understanding. They have been sacred places of teaching and learning. They have honored the process of truth as a way. They have watered the tree of life.


There is a beautiful little door near you right now. You need little of your power to open it. You can look through that door and see the beauty revealed. You may choose to pass through that opening to visit that beauty.
You may pass back through that door to about where you were, but the next little door will not open on the same view. Some say that these doors open from a prison;
some say they open to a magical place. Open one and look through for yourself. By looking you may see.
