Self Knowledge

Making time for wholeness

A disregarded priority in modern life is making time for (apparently) not doing anything. Of course it isn't really doing nothing, when we prioritise Being. What happens when we don't? Eating by habit rather than becoming really conscious of what we feel like; what we value; what we promise ourselves to appreciate but somehow keep forgetting. Putting off an activity we love 'for another day'.

Islands of Sanity in Dark Days

In a nutshell, the Gnostic Gospels shows Jesus to have said: 'People are born out of darkness, they will return to darkness when they die, and choose to spend the time in between either drunk or asleep.'
