It is said that to fly towards our goal of enlightenment, we need two wings – wings of wisdom and compassion. I initially read this 28 years ago, and I know I did not have the appreciation for it that I do now. Such a most profound, and thusly, such a beautiful writing, by Lao Tzu. If anyone is interested, I would enjoy exchange regarding this teaching. “Prevent trouble before it arises. Put things in order before they exist. The giant pine tree grows … [Read more...]

All for one, and one for all, in 2016.
January 1, 2016 by Eve Revere
As the year is about to wind down in fifteen minutes or less, I wish everyone all the best in the coming year. Understanding continues to be gained, by whatever means I do not really know. Perhaps it is through my dear friend of 24 years, or it is through my subconscious, or through some other sort of process I do not yet understand. But I hope that I have things to share with anyone interested on an ongoing basis through the next twelve months. The best to everyone, throughout … [Read more...]

“How to Expand LOVE”
November 1, 2015 by Eve Revere
His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, wrote a beautifully helpful book, in 2005. It is titled: "How to Expand LOVE Widening the Circle of Loving Relationships". Step by step, through multiple stages of development and awareness, he helps us to develop skills where one can learn to transform negative feelings by cultivating love and compassion. Rather than speak directly, my wonderful teacher, Eve, would point to life experiences, experiences we shared. She had so many stories to share about … [Read more...]

Two quotations from Tibetan Buddhism
June 27, 2015 by Eve Revere
It is not very often that I can improve upon other people's writings. I cannot improve upon any of Eve Revere's writings. There are so many quotations, by others, I would like to share. In my extensive reading of Joseph Campbell's works regarding cultures of the world and the influence of the Goddess, and in my subsequent focus on Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism, here are two quotations I would like to initially share: "There is not one migrating being who has not been my mother or father … [Read more...]

Burma-Shave

The works of Joseph Campbell
February 9, 2015 by Eve Revere
Over the past year, I've studied the works of Joseph Campbell: videos and books, published by The Joseph Campbell Foundation. Campbell extensively references the Goddess culture. One of the books that he writes, along with other writers is titled: "In All Her Names". I have found his works fundamental to my own understanding that the religions and cultures of the world, at least over the last 5,000 years, started out with the same basic mythological story. I … [Read more...]

The Context !
May 26, 2014 by Eve Revere
Any image which we register, either as a sensation or as an impulse through other than what we regard as our senses, is subject to perception, processing of, by and for the consciousness (also by other than the consciousness). One mode of perception involves identification: an object-like "what" is registered as a fit, a make. We respond with an orientation that could be expressed by the words, "Oh, I know "what" that is. "What" is the fit of … [Read more...]
