The following Philosophy is expressed by Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi
**~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
I searched for God among the Christians and on the Cross and therein I found Him not.
I went into the ancient temples of idolatry; no trace of Him was there.
I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandhar but God I found not.
With set purpose I fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation.
Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young; God was not there even.
Turning to philosophy I inquired about him from ibn Sina but found Him not within his range.
I fared then to the scene of the Prophet's experience of a great divine manifestation
only a "two bow-lengths' distance from him" but God was not there even in that exalted court.
Finally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him; He was nowhere else.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~**
I Express here my Appreciation to Creational Zhila, for her Quest in respect to Poet Rumi.
Zhila, Thank You for reminding us of this Man and his great Works.
Scott and Michael, I had not seen these Poems from You each before.
Beautiful expressions, Heartfelt and Profound.

Dear J_rod7,
You demonstrate a universal knowledge about every subject matter worth paying attention to and I do appreciate it.
I was brought up with Rumi's philosophy in his and my native tongue, farsi. Just imagine how fluidal and harmonious thus creational these poetry verses are in their original language when they are so great and effective translated. As I am sure Billy's writings in German are simply better.
Thanks,
Salome,
Zhila,
THANK YOU BILLY.

I haven't done this for a while, so here are some lyrics of mine from the 1980s and 1990s:
I Do Believe in You
You might say that love is like water in the stream
and you're the cup that gets filled up when you're empty and in need
it's always there just like the air it follows you to sleep
it's so well known it can't be owned but it's all that you can keep
Love has the greatest power as it moves the rolling seas
it forms the notes in bluebirds’ throats it's there when you say please
it's not just mine or only yours but here for everyone
sometimes it's hidden by your fears like clouds can hide the sun
And oh when you're suffering and hope has packed its bags
you're an infant needing mothering a dirty window needing rags
Then out of nowhere so it seems some love gets in your way
you don't have the strength to throw it out so it makes a place to stay
where were you when I needed you you'll ask and love will say
oh do I believe in you I never went away
I do believe in you I never went away
Gravity
Without dispute there's known to be
only one force called gravity
for Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jew
believing otherwise won't do
Yet of Creation's pure intent
our minds are locked in deep dissent
as endless disagreements reign
we choose to cause each other pain
Still forgoing contemplation
we opt instead for separation
and fearfully regard all life
through old beliefs that thrive on strife
Then in the name of each one's god
attack and beat with fist and rod
and scream, "you must believe like me!"
while life says, "foolish man be free!"
Go seek the source with open eyes
and it's perfection realize
in atom, molecule and cell
to every form where life may dwell
Come set aside your love of pain
of suffering and gainless gain
surrender separation's wage
and step upon the cosmic stage
For truth is greater than belief
and logic will forestall such grief
when recognition of one source
is at the heart of our discourse
There Once Came a Race of Giants
There once came a race of giants
from a distant war torn star
looking for new worlds to conquer
to spread power near and far
Protected by their loyal soldiers
called guard angels cherubim
the leaders soon established order
for their new reign to begin
With their knowledge and their wisdom
they did alter forms of life
masters of the laws of science
of their deeds would ancients write
That they took a wild human
mixed in her celestial seed
for one thousand generations
we've misunderstood this deed
From this one many descended
their days marked with pain and blood
kingdoms came and kingdoms ended
few survived deluge and flood
Other races same were fashioned
or from stranded travelers grew
star seed mixed through human passion
sons of gods were formed anew
Above them all in a ship did hover
one who called himself their lord
demanding worship of no other
with threats of vengeance he enforced
Over time the races scattered
distant memories they preserved
handed down through spoken legend
and in books as holy word
Family Metaphysical
Sister's into wheat grass brother's into juice fast
mama's into lives past goin' bye bye bye
daddy's explanation it's all reincarnation
an' baby's seein' auras with her big third eye
Sister's into healin' brother's into feelin'
ain't no one into stealin' I say m,y my, my
family's tryin' to balance extraordinary talents
and baby's seeein' saucers flyin' in the sky
Hey now it's so quizzical this family metaphysical
everythin's so mystical but we get by
while the family might be wacky hey we're kind of happy
and baby keep's us laughin' feelin' ha-ha-ha- high
Sis is into tarot while bro thinks he's a pharaoh
mama doesn't care though she's in outer space
dad's into transcendin' all the spoons are into bendin'
and baby's busy sendin' her love every place
Hey now it's so quizzical this family metaphysical
I sometimes feel invisible can't you see
while they're all zennin' on the mountain I'm a certified accountant
I guess I'm just the odd one in this family

The Silent Revolution of Truth
Lyrics & Music
Michael Horn
Leon Rubenhold
Cladena Aikarina
People of the world our inner voice says
Time is running and so are choices
We can change the course of history with our thoughts
We can see that no more wars are ever fought
When peace is sought and when it’s taught
To all the people in the world like you and me
Nothing speaks louder than the silent revolution of truth
The cry begins from deep within to turn the power loose
When heart and mind with truth align we’ll see the living proof
Of the silent revolution of truth
People of the world our inner wisdom
Will guide us to a fulfill a bold new vision
Where dominion over self is how we rule
Where justice is the lustrous crowning jewel
The light of truth comes shining through
So all the people of the world can live in peace
Nothing speaks louder than the silent revolution of truth
The cry begins from deep within to turn the power loose
When heart and mind with truth align we’ll see the living proof
Of the silent revolution of truth
Uncertainty and fear rage all around
Great changes are at hand
Can you hear the sound
That's your heart beating to the silent revolution of truth
The cry begins from deep within to turn the power loose
When heart and mind with truth align we’ll see the living proof
Of the silent revolution of truth
Nothing speaks louder than the silent revolution of truth
The cry begins from deep within to turn the power loose
When heart and mind with truth align we’ll be the living proof
Of the silent revolution of truth

Dear Michael,
Wow, have I triggered the unmasking of these hidden jewels?
If I have, then I am proud of me and you should be proud of you; because you simply put a massive smile in my face on a very difficult day of my life, let alone all the members having the privilege of accessing this.
Thank you for your loving, harmonious, peaceful, wise, timeless, and creational poetry.
Know that with this talent directed in such an expansive and universal way, you are much richer than Bill Gates of this world; since you, along with your harmonic words are already everlasting like Rumi; and that my friend is pure richness in creative standard.
On top of this, your dedication to this mission, only confirms that you have the greatest teacher, our beloved BEAM.
You guys are undeniably setting a great and permanent standard.
After all, what is a mere 800 years compared to eons of humanity’s ignorance? Considering everything, it really is quite rapid; it is not even one Plajaren’s lifetime! Thanks to the effort of FIGU members.
Love,
Zhila,
THANK YOU BILLY.

Greetings to All in Peace,
I Humbly offer this little piece, originally written some 24-Years ago.
I have taken the liberty to personify Creation...
' "My Significant Prayer"
' That my Will Surrender
So to do Creation's Will in the Earth
' That my Mind become Aligned
With His for Righteous Inspiration
' That my Flesh become Purified
So my Hands may do His Work
That I Surrender all Defects of Character
' So His Love may fill my Heart
' To Touch all Others
So He may Love Himself Among Us'
: -Rod

Great job dear Rod. You guys have inspired me to write this;
Dear friends,
During my high school years back home in Tehran, my very tough literature teacher wanted us to deeply grasp what Rumi meant when he talked about love. She particularly utilized the term creational love.
In one of the many masterpieces by Semjase, she poetically says, and I quote;
57. A human who is filled with love is also rich in wisdom, and a human who is rich in wisdom is also full of love.
58. However, the human cheats himself because he does not know love.
58. He interprets grasping feelings and sentiments as love, while, to him, real love remains strange and not understood. (Semjase at the 10th contact on Wednesday, March 26, 1975, 3:20 pm)
Years have passed in my life and I think I am now beginning to slowly understand what Ms. Afshar and Semjase, both with their‘teacherly’ love, one of the greatest kinds, wanted us to comprehend.
Love means unity.
The oneness core of creation, although primarily mimics a pseudo-separation through our physical being for the purpose of perfection and expansion; in its journey, will naturally be continuously yearning for an eventual unity of the creator, the creation and the created.
Even the very act of physical love causing procreation confirms this expansion for the better; but it is certainly not the only meaning of love as we primitively assume it to be.
That’s the wisdom in and by love, that’s the creation. These terms all seem to be separated but in fact, they are all one. As Billy rightfully says, one is all, and all is one.
To all dear members,
Through your own dedication, however deemed appropriate for each of you individually, you are facilitating this unity.
Through this FIGU unity, love is created by every word that is being exchanged.
I will not name each one but every single member, in his/her own way is mending this unity, this love toward creation, one post at a time.
Zhila,
THANK YOU BILLY.

Don't Lose Yourself
You came here to see me with arms open wide
to fill up the emptiness you're feeling inside
now we're together you're still feeling blue
you ain't lonely for me babe you're lonely for you
You gave up so much just to be by my side
your friends and your family along with your pride
now I can see that you're losing yourself
and looking for meaning in somebody else
Don't lose yourself if you want to find me
I want a lover who wants to be free
don't lose yourself if you want to be true
you don't have to lose for me to love you
Now there's somewhere I'm going I'd like you to come
if you want to join me it's gonna be fun
but part of this journey is traveling alone
and part of it's coming together and growing
Don't lose yourself if you want to find me
I want a lover who wants to be free
don't lose yourself if you want to be true
you don't have to lose for me to love you

Dear Michael,
Please write more poetry. This is too great a talent to be washed out.
Combined with the truth, it quenches the spirit’s thirst, quite harmonically.
Love,
Zhila,
Thank you Billy.

although containing somewhat challenging content to picture,
i was inspired to write this poem and feel i should share it. i was thinking about the war in gaza, and over population etc etc.
i wrote it within 2 minutes, i felt very inspired. usually i have no problem coming up with stuff on my own, but this is one of the few where i just felt struck with a bolt of inspiration. seems greedy not to share 
OVERCHRIST
mass graves in the land of slaves
you kill all those
whom your faith could not save
few people with common sense and morality
speak to deaf ears
of spirit and immortality
priests and rabbi's eager for war
it's in their gods image
that they settle the score
in the distance, i see a graveyard that used to be a village
in gods name, they rape and they pillage
the blood of the earth sapped by vampires of greed
show them the money and they'll do the deed
unborn children decay in the womb
a lone child lives deranged
locked in a white room
population rising higher than the clouds
dead bodies litter the streets
and pile up scattered like roses on the ground
lone voices of reason go unheard
after the nuclear fire
the human race survives at one third
salvation for the weak
truth for the strong
what hell must we endure
and if so, then for how long? |

Dear Peter_brodowski,
Unquestionably, a precious piece of art, poetry or literature, combined with the truth, is irreplaceable and immortal. You just made yours forever.
You actually brought tear in my eyes.
Nowadays, unfortunately truth can be sad. Thank you for sharing.

A very precious and resonating truth in that poem. I feel strongly connected to this situation in Gaza strip today. I had a very passionate discussion with an open minded fellow at work who listened to my tune that this has been fortold if we don't drastically change our thinking soon on this blue ball. I told him I lived with Palestinians for three years and listened to their story and thought about Israel's perspective. I understand after studying the Meier material how misguided many leaders and people have become through the blindness of religious dogma. I am optimistic as always for the future because I only have to remember the power of the spirit and that I only have to ask for the keys to unlock creations secrets and in time the love and creativity that flows as creation will unfold in every human that seeks and strives for it. Evolution will take place as it must. Thank you for that truthful poem.
Salome,
Tim

hey there tim and zhila,
thank you for your opinions and views. sometimes i read some of my poems from when i was a teenager, and i get tears in my eyes too. hopefully the poem did not cause any anxiety or depresive thoughts.
often in life, while many reach for the jewels twinkling in the sky, the flowers twinkling on the ground are crushed under their feet. i have met palestinian/middle eastern peoples, and i have to say they are very upfront and kind, very eager to enjoy life. it is too bad that they and their freedoms/rights are trampled by the isreali government and military. |

Hello,
Does anyone know if Billy has said anything about birth-marks? I have a theory that they may be like spiritual tatoos relating to previous incarnations, but am not sure and would welcome any thoughts on this.
I have a birth mark near my groin in exactly the same place as my mother.
I'm in the process of purification at the moment and its going well, although it was hard to let some things go, especially tobacco.
I would like to thank FIGU members/moderators for providing this useful forum.

yeah tobacco is a hard struggle for me too but i have been using nicotine gum for an almost success rate,
in time our planet will heal
and our people will know
after time our people will not have to speak
because our shared experience will have taught us
that death is not the answer
because out of the darkness we rose to the darkness of space
and learned to embrace the light of this planet
and appreciate the light of reverence of natural universal beauty
in an ember of knowledge and realization
planted in a seed of truth
that is good for all time until the all great time
and after a long time my poem will make more sense
even to me.
for the earthuman posesses qualities known to planets which are not forbidden
which will take a long time to understand

greetings Matt and all,
been out of the stench of tobacco smoke for about eight years now.
asked myself these questions then, would you do in your living room what you do in your toilet? why put garbage inside your body? is tobacco smoke mightier than your will?
no wonder, we ruin our earth because we do not mind ruining ourselves, which is truly a part of the whole.
with all humility,
JS |
