Creating With Our Heartfire

"Put all your energies into creating your deepest desires and bring forth your heartfire with the intention of pure passion! "  - OJO -

It's time to combust!

So much has been releasing in the past few months and I have been negligent in writing.   Partly exhaustion from the whirlwind of events and partly being absorbed into some sort of womb of darkness.  It's been a time to grow & learn and be thrown into the fire!

As this new emergence into what feels like an inferno of love and choices that singe our souls, we find an incredible opportunity to let go of all the fears and patterns of the past.  We are ignited with a passion to truly create the life and love we want to surround us and allow ourselves to feel the heat of the flames.  It is in this heartfire where the truth resides, the truth of who we are deep inside our souls....not the mask we show the outer world.

In allowing ourselves to feel the burn and jump into the fire, there also comes discomfort and moments to make choices of what it is we want to let go of....or hold onto.  We may find ourselves asking  "Do I want to give up or persevere? "  "Are my patterns revealing the areas of my core beliefs?"  "Am I letting go of fear or love?"

While we remain in this white hot fire it can be easy to become blinded by what is illusion - and as the fire consumes us we release the fear, the illusion, the past ...all is consumed in the fire.  It's time to BE the fire and let it emerge as the energy of passion and love from within. It's time to let ourselves love fully - to love and be loved completely.   The fear has been burnt away on the wings of Spirit and in the ashes the embers remain as a solid reminder that to love is to be free enough to give it up and know it still remains as a burning desire of the true love of who we are...as One.

Now it's time to ask  "What truth does your heartfire whisper to your soul?"

The time to burn is now ....light it up, burn those tires and be consumed in the freedom of love.

Mirages On The Journey

"The illusions of our journey are only seen within the minds eye.....

our perceptions are what we believe them to be."  - OJO

Living in the wind.....what bliss it brings!  

On so many occasions I find myself completely absorbed in the moment of time and space while riding -  the sound of roaring pipes, the heat of the pavement and motor, the smells in the air, the feel of the wind on my skin, all put me into a trance of some sort. What is seen is unseen and what is unseen is seen in these moments of illusion.

Keeping my ass on the seat is not always easy and it takes a skillful rider to accommodate a passenger like me...my eyes are always looking for that perfect vision to capture and if it means standing up while on the highway so be it!  I want to be one with the wind and the birds and the earth that surrounds me, the feeling of this exhilaration often creates a madness in me...good madness of course...haha.  As the camera clicks shots of an unknown reality in the wind the most amazing sights are revealed later on and the mirages of the scenery come to life.

And just as the mirage of the road comes to form a tangible reality caught as an image, the mirage of what we live becomes a real force of our journey as seen from within the imagination.  At times all we need to do is think the thought and the reality jumps out in our face, like, Holy Shit Batman!!!! POW - BAM - WHACK, there it is for all to see!!! The illusion we thought we saw was just that, an apparition of the mind and as it turns out, it's exactly what we were seeing all along as a real concept.  Whether we saw it in the mind or in our sight it is truth to the soul. We created it's essence from within.

So, to believe what we see is not relevant, to see what we believe is!!!

Live your beliefs, live it in the wind and love your illusions....ride on!!!

Being A Seeker of Bliss

"Ride free on the winds of time - love hard from the centre of your heart - let the fire of your soul ignite passion in everything you do!"     - OJO -

As a seeker of bliss I sometimes have found that not all paths lead in this direction.  On the journey the quest of inner peace can be deceptive.  It's like an illusive butterfly that cannot be captured....the truth of containment does not exist. And as any winged creature - bird, insect or beast their nature cannot be caged. 

When a free soul has been contained in a world or lifetime of controlled environments and illusions of reality, there becomes a silence in their flight for creative freedom.  The serenity of the soul cries for the bliss of a life that is unsung.  This is the time of belief, and of rebellious cause.....to free the wings and ride the winds of time in complete trust that the wind will carry you as you soar in the true direction of your passion.  It is time to love with the hardness of a diamond and shine your truth in every direction.  Let the flames of desire consume you, knowing all is just as it is meant to be and release illusions of the mind!

In the wind we see the movement of creation - this is the simplicity of inner peace, to be One with creation.

Fly free, ride the wind and follow the blueprint of your soul!!!!

Follow the path of the majestic eagle...look to the clouds in the right!

The Little Buddha Has Training Wheels

"The wind is still yet stirring gently in the colourful leaves of gods creation.  I sit in sequence to the events that occur in my daily world...from sunrise to sunset...I dream the illusion, I write the dream, and all becomes real."   

- OJO - 

Welcome to all who have come to an enlightened world on a path of the unique and slightly twisted events of life!

This blog has been stewing within for quite some time and the title idea was given to me by a magical man called Angel, who was wearing a sarong, speaking words of love and growing the most delicious mushrooms I have ever tasted  - in case you are wondering off the start...no, they weren't magic mushrooms!  That would be a whole other blog!!!   His essence went straight to my heart, his touch was gentle and his eyes danced when he spoke my name as we introduced ourselves.  We related and talked about many topics within a short amount of time, and then he looked at me mischievously and called me "a buddha child riding a harley"!  How had this complete stranger summed me up so well, and how did he see me so deeply from within and without?  How did he see my childlike innocence, my rebellious adventures, my knowledge and life experience, and the quintessence of my soul - in such a brief encounter?  

These were  stirring thoughts for many days after this meeting.  Especially the ridiculously humorous  image I had conjured in my mind of riding off into the sunset on a beautiful custom Harley Davidson  with a glorious pair of earrings flying and sparkling in the wind!  How Divine!!  How Free!! And how much more living in the moment could that be? With this vision, many moments of insight, contemplation, love, child like spontaneity and release .... I have arrived here. For now I still ride 'behind'....the vision remains in my mind and the dream lives on!

What a gift this angel was that night.

Since that moment of this enlightened meeting, I have felt a shift in a way that is still indescribable....as if I was given some deep insight into my soul and purpose, yet with no clear or concise marker to tell me what I was seeing. An inner vision I understand well, especially when it comes to painting and expressing my bliss on canvas, this though is without form, it is deeper than possibly my human-ness can transmute at this time. And in light of that, it is through this expression of vulnerability and love that this blog has come to fruition.

Here it is now, in the beginning state of raw truth!  A blog that comes from the heart and soul, that dispels the idea of superficial spirituality and embraces the realities of this life we live in, on all the stages of growth and all walks of life. To live in the wind and enjoy every moment that is offered to us. The wisdom of life can be revealed  in raw form in the most absurd times and the adventures of life can be expressed through the freedom of our thoughts.....for me this happens in those moments of the open road and the beauty of this world.  The people  that join together and the love everyone shares is expressed in each adventure.

So as this blog progresses it begins with the little buddha needing training wheels....

Without judgement and without fear...all comes from a place of love.  In recognizing an admittance of what we see to be real - as an illusion, there becomes another realization of seeing without our eyes and feeling without our hands.  To see with our hearts and feel with our souls!  

This can feel like a completely new realm of experience.  (Here is where the training wheels come in handy.)  Balancing our hearts and souls so we may glide freely along the path requires at times the steady hand of guidance to show the way, likened to the symbology of training wheels, we must first get our balance and then soar free on our own strength, and come to experience the ride for all the bliss and exhilaration it is.  

Living in the state of a child Buddha, how could that be?........are we not all children,  are we not all Buddha's, and are we not all living this life? 

We are all together and the code of honour is LOVE!

Live & Love in Freedom on The Journey!
