<title>What is Compassion?</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Just this morning I witnessed an event that, to me, highlighted my erroneous belief in what I considered to be compassionate &apos;feelings&apos; and wish to share that, if I may.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Ami, Child of the Stars</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;In Belzebuub Forums there was a &lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.belzebuubteachings.com/topic/469-ami-child-of-the-stars/&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; that gave a link to an absolute gem of a little book called 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ebarrios.com/indexEn.htm&quot;&gt;&quot;Ami, Child of the Stars&quot;&lt;/a&gt; by Enrique Barrios.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ebarrios.com/indexEn.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;uploads/amifrontcover.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Ami, Child of the Stars by Enrique Barrios&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Being an avid Kindle owner, I quickly converted it from it&apos;s natural pdf and have been delighted by the story it contains.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have ever read &quot;Flight of the Feathered Serpent&quot; by Armando Cosani or &quot;Beelzebub&apos;s Tales to his Grandson&quot; by Gurdjieff you will immediately detect that this &lt;em&gt;simple&lt;/em&gt; story is much more than that. I hope you read it and enjoy it as have I.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s now part of a little &apos;treasure trove&apos; of books of mine and thank the author (Enrique Barrios) heartily for his work.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>A quick bible study</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;For me, the bible was always a confusing morass of words that the Sunday School teacher simply couldn&apos;t explain properly. 
Not that I was particularly religious as a child, but I remember being confused by what I heard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Gnosis however, one talks about the Divine Father and she-who-is-in-secret, the Divine Mother. 
Everyone has completely unique Divine Parents, that is their own personal Divine Mother and Divine Father.
This immediately raises some conflict with the modern pseudo-esoteric opinion that we have a &lt;em&gt;&apos;Higher Self&apos;&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

<title>Many Times</title>
<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;How many times did I breathe in today and not notice?&lt;br /&gt;
  How many times did my heart beat and I did not notice?&lt;br /&gt;
  How many times did I blink?&lt;br /&gt;
  How many times did I lose sight of something else when I finally remembered to notice?&lt;br /&gt;
  You, who is in every heartbeat and every breath and every movement I make, I&apos;m sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
  I try and I plead to get closer to you, but you are already here, waiting for me.&lt;br /&gt;
  If only I would pay attention.&lt;br /&gt;
  Open Sesame.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
