Inspirational Quote on Love

I’m working on my next book, Have Your Heart’s Desire. Each chapter is headed by an inspirational quote. There are so many wonderful quotes to choose from! Here’s a great inspirational quote from Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk now exiled in France.

“When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.”

Robert Fulghum Inspirational Quote

Robert Fulghum wrote All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. This quote is from his Uh-Oh.

“If I don’t have time to live my life well the first time, when am I going to find the time to go back and live it over?”
— Robert Fulghum (Uh-Oh)

Edgar Cayce Inspirational Quote on Nature

“Ye love nature … the out of doors, the blossom of the rose, and the sunset, the fall of the water. ALL of these bring to thee the voice of that which has ALMOST persuaded thee as to how close He is to thee.”
(Edgar Cayce Reading 1809-1)

Dogon mythology about Nommos aliens from Sirius B

An online article called The Dogon, the Nommos and Sirius B, describe the aspects of the dogon mythology on the extraterrestrials from Sirius:

According to their oral traditions, a race people from the Sirius system called the Nommos visited Earth thousands of years ago. The Nommos were ugly, amphibious beings that resembled mermen and mermaids. They also appear in Babylonian, Accadian, and Sumerian myths. The Egyptian Goddess Isis, who is sometimes depicted as a mermaid, is also linked with the star Sirius.

This article also brings up the possibility that these myths are not accurate, for example, that Sirius B, one of the stars in the Sirius system, once occupied the location our sun occupies now. According to science, this is impossible. Furthermore, the dogon believe that it takes Sirius B 60 years to orbit Sirius. However, they celebrate the Sirius B orbit every 50 years. It doesn’t make sense.

Dogon Skeptics

On November 12th I wrote about the Dogon tribe in Western Africa. They supposedly knew that Sirius was part of a multiple sun system, information they learned from an ancient visit from extraterrestrials from the Sirius star system.

American astronomer and astrophysicist Carl Sagan agreed with author Robert Temple (The Sirius Mystery) that the 100,000 member Dogon must have been influenced by a technologically advanced society to know about Sirius and its companion sun. However, Sagan thought the technologically advanced society had been visitors from other areas of the earth where knowledge about the Sirius star system had been discovered according to the online article Dogon and Sirius.

Dogon Tribe in Africa have memories of extraterrestrial visitors from Sirius

Have you heard of the Sirius Mystery and the Dogon Tribe? It was popularized in a book of the same name by Robert K. G. Temple in which he wrote about the Dogon tribe of Western Africa. French explorers in the 1930s discovered that the Dogon have an ancestral memory of amphibious extratestrials who taught them that Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is actually three companion stars.

Thank you to the people who gave their lives for us

Today is called Veterans Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada, when we honor those who gave their lives for us. We all know someone who is or has been in the military. Whether it is those in the 2nd World War or those who fought on our behalf in my recent conflicts, this is a day to honor them all.

Edgar Cayce Quote on “Ugly Ducklings”

Here is the inspirational quotation from Edgar Cayce that accompanied yesterday’s blog post nature photograph of swans. This Cayce quote appeared in the 2009 Edgar Cayce Calendar for the month of September:

“And what a wonderful characteristic, – to see the beauty even in that which in the eyes of others would be ugly! That which is the Lord’s, and the fullness of the earth is His, has its beauty – if it is sought.”

Edgar Cayce Reading 2787-1

In yesterday’s photograph of the swans, the two “ugly ducklings” or immature swans are the two large gray goose-like waterfowl to the right and in front of the beautiful white mature swan.

Migration Time

This beautiful nature photograph of swans reminds me that this time of year is the time of the waterfowl migrations. I took this digital photograph in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and used as an inspirational photograph for the month of September in the 2009 Edgar Cayce Calendar. You may not know it but swans migrate.
