Can You Move Sand?

Mandala: "(Sanskrit maṇḍala "essence" + "having" or "containing", also translates as "circle-circumference" or "completion", both derived from the Tibetan term dkyil khor) is a concentric diagram having spiritual and ritual significance in both Buddhism and Hinduism. According to David Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises." [3] The psychoanalyst Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self,"[4] and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality.[5]" [From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/]

" What is a Zen Dog Collective? "

Zen: \’zen\ noun \ form of Buddhism, a major school of Buddhism originating in 12th-century China that emphasizes enlightenment through meditation and insight.  [Encarta Dictionary: English (North America)]

Koan: is a story, dialogue, question, or statement in the history and lore of Zen Buddhism, generally containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet may be accessible to intuition. A famous kōan is: "Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand?" (oral tradition attributed to Hakuin Ekaku, 1686-1769, considered a reviver of the kōan tradition in Japan). [Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dan]

Zen Dog: a paradoxical nonlogical thought meant to create a contemporary puzzle with no logical clarification.

Zen Dog Collective: a community of nonlogical thinkers creating nothing logical or rational yet philosophical and religious questions are paradoxically answered.

Dear Frances,

My thoughts find connection to your comment under, Every Thought Has A Frequency, Focus On What You Want, "Their hearts greet us daily with Love and joy. Adding an energy of unconditional support and love to our lives." I think it is with and within this energy that many householders include animals in their home, families, and daily lives.

Animals are revered in human culture for the idealized belief that animals instinctively exist grounded in Buddahood. However, we have accepted domestication, giving away self-reliance, impulse behaviors, and lives without attachments. This realization may be true of all animals that we encounter in civilized territories, including humans. Within the challenge to cooperatively integrate with other species we have all accepted the responsibility to, lead a disciplined life. Our first challenge in domestic life is the practice of refraining from harming others, physically, mentally, verbally, morally, in so doing we relinquish attachment to ego and objects which attract ego.

It would be a lie for me to say that i have achieved a life free of attachments, for i love my meal times, and sometimes i love my Katherine and The Children so much i almost knock them over as they ready to go for a walk. It is in these moments of enthusiasm that Katherine teaches me to sit still, reduce my expectation and be content in the moment. Our discipline to, reduce expectations and be still in the moment, enables our abilities to communicate. Within the moment, we disengage from our desire, our ego, we move into becoming ONe, we achieve understanding. We speak through our mutual contentment.

OH......i feel it is time to practice the disciplines of holistic self-care and excercise.......a walk in the woods, leads me to nirvana.

Every Thought Has A Frequency, Focus On What You Want

Inspired today by: Mountain Dog Johnny T, (and his herd of equines), a sage with long standing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=ES&hl=es&v=4-3EyMPzMoo

The video Johnny T sends inspires the realization; "Everything i need to accomplish my goals lays here right before me." In this moment the quality of  the thought becomes intention, ((Karma in Force)),  force becomes focus, ((Karma in Creation)),  focus becomes motivation, ((Karma in Potiential)), motivation becomes action, ((Karma in Presence)). Action ignites the presence of Karma.

This climbing up the ladder towards success power dog, teaches us a lesson in creating our own walk toward success using  universal tools, thought, force, and focus to motivate meaningful action, thereby empowering positive change. Is there any question that this dog, Sofia, can successfully influence life where ever she travels?

Zen Thought For This Week: Within the quality of my thoughts there lies a power of presence, this moment holds the quality of my intention, where only i will define the force of real or  imagined barriers.

To sweet girl Sofia, and Mountain Dog Johnny T, i send out thoughts of thanks and gratitude, for their inspirational ideas and their "can do" attitudes, these are thoughts with frequency that vibrate us across the ponds and forests in creativity, Love Ya, K
