Each week we will share more reflections from the forthcoming new book the 'Tribe of One' by Michael Meegan and Colin Meagle
'Take my hand and I will lead you
Through The darkness
And into the light'
Michael Meegan
Fly With Your Wings
'Fly with your wings
not another's
neither teach another
to soar on your wings
or on your dreams'
Michael Meegan
Song Of Songs
'Gentle lips, O blessed one that you
Now in me come for truth
and I for and in thee and thine
blessed bespoke are you
for you know something,
don't you?
Thou knowest me
how did you discover me?
This is my secret self, self of thine
for thou art ever with me
friend of mine'
Michael Meegan
"We have forgotten the secrets of happiness and have
lost the art of wonder. Our world is in pain, and the gap between nations
grows. The problems seem overwhelming." Michael Meegan Surprised by
Joy
"
When we are caught in the microcosms we can miss the majesty and vastness
of the universe." Michael Meegan Surprised by Joy
" There are many intelligences, many dynamic paths that illuminate our way."
" Unless the mindset that has dominated charity in Africa changes, the model
that governs response will remain unchanged."
" With everything in me I believe that the only path we to joy is the way
of serving each other without looking for anything in return."
" You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops
are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."
" There is far too much misery in the world, too much anxiety, and we need
to open ourselves to becoming agents of joy."
"
It is easy to think of all the things we can’t do, but every one
of us can do something, and we can do something about everything."
" If I decide not to reach out to a child in
a slum because the rich politician has a Mercedes, I punish that child
because of the greed of his oppressor."
" The world needs to become a community, to relieve the tremendous amount
of unnecessary suffering that is tearing us apart."
“By becoming awake to the selves within us we can create a harmony and
a healthy balance of these energies that often conflict with each other. When
these forces become balanced we become more centred, and more alert. Our different
skills and talents work together in creating a powerful synergy.”
“
The Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
“
This synergy, the coming together of all of these selves is like the coming together
of many different faces often for the first time. Creating this unity with ourselves
is like drawing together many strangers who become friends, drawing together
all of our dynamics into an internal harmony. It is this dynamic synergy and
fusion of everyone within us that creates from many selves a ‘tribe of
one’. A tribe of one represents the multiple dimensions of a person’s
selves channeled through a singular calm, focused consciousness. It is the harmony
of these selves into a force of creative energy.”
“
The Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
“ This tribe when clear and united achieves the critical power necessary
for us to do two things; it allows us to be truly happy and it allows us to be
ourselves.”
“
The Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
“
A tribe of one represents the multiple dimensions of a person’s selves
channeled through a singular calm, focused consciousness. It is the harmony of
these selves into a force of creative energy.”
“
The Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
“ This is a life-long exploration of learning, discovering, making mistakes
and being surprised. This unfolding reveals how rare and unusual we are. As we
learn
to become more fully human and more fully alive, we start to see the harmony
and pleasure that streams into our lives from every direction. We start to notice
the joy and power of other people, we become charged with the energy and enthusiasm
that is created from nothing. In everything we become stronger and more capable.”
“
The Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
“
Becoming aware of the tribe of one is to realise that we can draw all of these
energies within, into a single force of calm. We are capable of really drawing
pleasure out of the present moment simply by focusing on positive flow experiences.
We can delete from our consciousness; negative energies, comments, attitudes
and mindsets.” “The Tribe of One” , Michael Meegan
“
The tribe of one that is we in all ourselves, naturally desires harmony. Most
of our existence happens however outside that harmony. A lot of our energy is
caught up in trying to correct our imbalances without knowing what they are. “The
Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
“
We are a society of fear, taught to doubt, encouraged to be discontent, surrounded
by a media that diminishes our self image.” “The Tribe of One , Michael
Meegan
Becoming aware of the tribe of one is to realise that we can draw all of these
energies within, into a single force of calm.
“
The Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
“
When we deny natural and essential parts of ourselves, we prevent healthy development
and growth. If a child is kept away from sunlight he will develop serious deficiencies,
without a proper balance of nutrition we can become very ill.” “The
Tribe of One” , Michael Meegan
“
The reason we fill our lives with so much trivia and clutter is because we are
trying to fill the void.” “The Tribe of One”, Michael Meegan
