Khadafi created a renaissance in Libya and look what happened.

Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and then we'll need no other light. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


For light I go directly to the Source of light, not to any of the reflections. ~Peace Pilgrim


Light comes to us unexpectedly and obliquely. Perhaps it amuses the gods to try us. They want to see whether we are asleep. ~H.M. Tomlinson


We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light. ~Earl Nightingale


Sometimes just looking up and seeing the light is enough. ~Terri Guillemets


Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby. ~Ruth E. Renkel


The stars are the street lights of eternity. ~Author Unknown


An age is called "dark," not because the light fails to shine but because people refuse to see it. ~James Michener

"You are actively involved in creating an energy on this planet that will eventually create healing and peace that you've never seen before.

Two generations from now, you will not recognize this place, for there will be talk of 'putting things together' instead of tearing them apart. The old leaders will be gone and a new generation of conceptual thinkers will be in place."


I sure hope so!

Very nice Swirling Purple

Thank you. Many of those helping to create, introduce and manifest the new energies will not be in their physical bodies at that time anymore. But the soul is eternal so they will reap the rewards for their work one way or another. They chose to do this out of compassion.

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattvais The Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion. Avalokiteshvara is venerated as the ideal of karuna. Karuna is the activity of compassion in the world and the willingness to bear the pain of others.

The Bodhisattva Is Us

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is the Hearer of the Cries of the World. And one of the characteristics of Avalokiteshvara is that she manifests herself in accord with the circumstances. So she always presents herself in a form that's appropriate to what's going on. In the Bowery, she manifests as a bum. Tonight, in barrooms across the country, she'll manifest as a drunk. Or as a motorist on the highway, or as a fireman, or a physician. Always responding in accord with the circumstances, in a form appropriate to the circumstances. How is that?

"Every time there's a stranded vehicle on the side of the road and a motorist stops to help Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva has manifested herself. Those characteristics of wisdom and compassion are the characteristics of all beings. All Buddhas. We all have that potential. It's just a matter of awakening it. You awaken it by realizing there's no separation between self and other.

Kuan Yin - Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva
The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion

The Sanskrit name "Avalokiteshvara" means "the lord who looks upon the world with compassion".

Translated into Chinese, the name is "Kuan Shih Yin"

Kuan: observe
Shih: the world / the region of sufferers
Yin: all the sounds of the world, in particular, the crying sounds of beings, verbal or mental, seeking help

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is the embodiment of great compassion. He has vowed to free all sentient beings from suffering. To continue until there is no more suffering in the world.

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is has great powers and can help all sentient beings. His skilful means are limitless and he can appear in any form in all the six realms of existence to relieve the suffering of the sentient beings who live there. He vowed to rescue those who call on him when they are in suffering, for example, when caught in a fire, shipwrecked or facing an attack.

In the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha said that if a suffering being hears the name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and earnestly calls out to the bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara will hear the call and relieve that being from his suffering.

According to the Huayen Sutra, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva transforms himself into forms that suit the nature of those to be helped. His manifestations or transformation bodies are countless.

e.g. if a boy or girl is about to gain some enlightenment, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva transforms himself into a boy or a girl to teach the child.

e.g. If a monk is about to attain some enlightenment, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva transforms himself into a monk.

In short, he can appear as a monk, a nun, or a normal person like you and me. The purpose of such transformations is to make people feel close to him and willing to listen to his words.

In China, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is represented in female form and is known as Kuan Yin. Probably because of Kuan Yin's great compassion, a quality which is traditionally considered feminine.

In Buddhist art, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is sometimes shown with eleven heads, 1000 hands and eyes on the palms of each hand (Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva). The thousand eyes allow the bodhisattva to see the sufferings of sentient beings, and the thousand hands allow her to reach out to help them.

Sometimes, he is represented with one head and 4 arms. This is the Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara, worshipped by all Tibetans as "Chenrezig", the Holder of the White Lotus. It is in the male form which has two hands in the praying gesture while the other two hands hold his symbols, the Crystal Rosary and the Lotus Flower.

Actually, anyone can be like Kuan Yin. You may say that you don't have a thousand eyes or a thousand arms or that you lack skilful means, but it is your compassion that can transform you into a Kuan Yin. With your eyes and hands, you can help others. With your compassion, you can bring peace and tranquility to this world.

Comedian.

Come on now Comedian . . . you know you're feelin the love!

:eartheart:

Poor little OP!!!

you see, those that truly have the light inside work alone, for the power of one, can be greater than the sum of all.

You can connect with others and become one and that combined power becomes the power of one and even greater. You should try that. It's not poor. It becomes abundant.

Keep posting new threads, OP!!!!

No.

Sure you can. But you choose to reject the idea. Maybe one day you'll reconsider.

Could Comedian transform into Kwan Yin?

Great thread OP, and I think critical mass is closer and closer. "In the blink of an eye".
