ALL IS ONE
The diversity of the world is a fact.
But also its unity.
He who does not see the unity
Lives amidst isolated facts.
Who has grasped the unity
Lives the fullness of life.
The Wisdom of life means
Comprehending the unity of the Cosmos.
REACH FOR THE STARS
If you do not reach for the stars
You are not fully mature.
Small concerns will never make you
A great person, but only a fledgling.
Become Mature!
This is the imperative of your destiny

Seminar in Theologos, Thassos, Greece, in 1994

Henryk and Margie
(12th August 1994)

(14th June 2003)


Margie encouraged by Henryk:
BE WELL. BE CONNECTED. BE YOURSELF. AND YOU DO GOOD WORK
WHY BE LESS?
You were born into the human form
Not for Nothing.
The flowers can blossom radiantly,
but only you can embrace God.
Your Mind Divine
can see in the lotus flower
The smiling Buddha.
You can relive the past,
You can conjure up the future.
You can make yourself
into Light Extraordinary.
You can...but will you?
Most of you are prepared
To settle for much less.
But why be less
Than you were created for?
Henryk
ECO YOGA
You cannot live in peace if the whole world
around you is at war with nature and destroying it.
Once you understand that you and nature are one;
That we are all one...
you are bound to take responsibility
for the well bveing of the entire world.
Your inner harmony must be extended
to include harmony in the outside world.
Eco Yoga is a path of beauty and sanity for our times.
The Divine Cosmos be kind to us.
Give us pure air, pure water, pure soil
So that we renew ourselves to serve thee.
Give us the light of understanding
So that we see our place in the Web of life.
We promise to be mindful of our daily steps
So that we do not trample over those weaker than we are.
We promise to behave compassionately and lovingly
For the sake of all creation, and our own sake,
Henryk Skolimowski: The Dawn of Ecological Era

Margie meditating
WALK IN BEAUTY
BREATHE REVERENCE
SMILE WITH YOUR MIND
SEND A BEAM OF LOVE TO EVERY BEING
AND TO YOURSELF AS WELL.
REMEMBER, ALWAYS HAVE TIME
TIME IS YOUR FRIEND,
RUSKING IS AGAINST GRACE
DO WHAT IS RIGHT,
DON'T DO WHAT IS WRONG.
KEEP YOUR MIND VLEAR -
A WELL CONTROLLED MIND
IS A SOURCE OF A GREAT JOY.
MAY ALL PEOPLE BE PEACEFUL
MAY ALL PEOPLE BE HAPPY
MAY ALL PEOPLE BE LIBERATED
MAY I BE PEACEFUL
MAY I BE HAPPY
MAY I BE LIBERATED
