DIAMOND ALIGNMENT

2010-10-07T17:30:00.002+01:00

4 days ago I first heard of this: http://www.diamondalignment.com/

It has been around quite awhile apparently, but new to me. The site offers you a free 6 minute

engagement with its technology which you can repeat indefinitely by registering. My skepticism was not to my credit. It turns out to be (in my view at any rate), genuine and pretty terrific to boot. Diamond Alignment is an attractive metaphor that expresses the quality of our essence.

Jacqueline Joy is the woman at the centre of this, and joy is one of the outcomes of using it. I wanted to report on it here, just to add another voice in its advocacy.

Rupert Spira is another old friend of mine doing work on 'the transparency of things'. This is video from Conscious TV, as is Roger Linden's.

This links to a good interview with my old flatmate about his realisation of ordinariness on Hampstead Heath.

Learning Strategies have published Jeddah Mali's second set of meditations on CD, in the series Seeds of Enlightenment. I've used several by now; not saying how anyone else might find them, but I have sometimes found the results pretty remarkable and am glad I bought them.

my stay at Bellevue

This small estate near Chinon in the Loire region of France is the home of my friends Roy and Liz. I visited last week. It's as good as it looks. http://bellevuefr.com/default.aspx

Jeddah Mali: Seeds of Enlightenment

2008-11-01T09:52:00.003Z

Jeddah Mali www.jeddahmali.com

Jeddah Mali has recently published a CD set 'Seeds of Enlightenment,' through Learning Strategies Corportation.

http://www.learningstrategies.com/JeddahMali.asp

'Seeds' is a series of 8 linked meditations. If this is a topic of interest to you I'd like to flag her offering up here. I can't praise the quality highly enough, so I'm not going to try. It speaks for itself.

3 new CD's from Paul Lennon and John Goldman

2008-06-23T10:19:00.002+01:00

Paul and me are "Other WordsOther Music". www.otherwordsothermusic.com

We haven't yet built the site and though the CD's have now been composed, at this point the first of them is in very early stages of recording. However the project is pretty original and I want to make a small mention of it here so our many readers (thank you Madam) are appraised of the extraordinary artistic events that are to emerge from this bizarre musical collaboration.
If I say so myself, and I just did, Paul is good. I'm too modest to speak of my own glory.

This is Valentin Gerlier's new site. His CD 'Dawn of a New Day' is really worth hearing'. As I told him when I first heard it; 'I'm sick with jealousy.' Hmmm, still am. Please follow the link.

About The novel 'Climbing by Starlight':
"Partly set in Israel in 1996 following the assassination of Yitzhak Rabim. Lost traveler Eli Sage meets charismatic Katya Ben Halevi. She rescues him from his alcoholism and they begin an affair that spans nine years. During this period, she rises from destitution to international prominence, but demons she cannot lay to rest are at her heels and Eli cannot protect her any more than he could himself. A novel about ordinary human love trying to adapt to a larger destiny that won’t be denied and can’t be understood."

http://www.paullennon.com/buyclimbingbook.html

THE CD 'Climbing by Starlight': 12 songs.
"But we make faces at life, become the faces we made;
do you suppose how we look is a thing we can trade?"

The Work of Byron Katie

2008-02-28T09:28:00.007Z

The form of self inquiry that Byron Katie offers, she calls 'The Work.'

www.thework.com

The site offers all you need to do The Work and the materials are free of charge.
'The Work' is 4 basic questions and a turnaround.
Is it true?
Can you absolutely know it's true?
How do you react when you believe that thought?
Who would you be without that thought?
