Titled: ‘Transcendence– Clarity amidst the chaos in the Interconnects ‘.
From circles in the spheres
And shapes unknown
Of thought to imagination
You to me is a continuum
Of expression in life and living.
As you and I see it
In unique ways.
Every perspective
Every interpretation
Creates shifts in space
To accommodate every emergence
And all matters
In the infinity of being
Beyond scale or count
And boundless beyond measure.
Every single flicker in participation
Every bit of intention
Every action is your contribution.
Impacting the world for you and for me.
Leaving imprints in time, altering the energy
Such is your value in the synergy.
Care to sense the responsibility
In making sense of it all!
Savvy Raj
All our insights and shares in understanding and the uncertainity, in clarity amidst the chaos, create the shape of things to come and therein is the reason to continue on the path of shaping ourselves by chiselling at a transformation towards transcendence. Savvy
as it beckons you to know your limitless potential.

Conversations in Oneness
To dance is to converse with your soul in oneness.
To dance is to acknowledge the living you in this moment
To dance is to move with your soul’s longings in this present now.
To dance is to feel the rhythm of your own beating heart.
To dance is dare to reach beyond the spaces visible.
To dance is to sense the magic as you touch the intangible …
To dance is to sense the preciousness of time.
As it glides with your movements sublime
In every move, the heart and mind is looped in joyousness
In every flight is the beauty of lightness …
To dance is to be connected to your being
In the contentment of life and living!
Savvy
I love to dance…
In every moment of my life….I relate to the fluidity of movements we make, to the rhythm of the words we write, to the harmony in the words we speak, to the synchrony of the breaths we take, to the connectedness in the flow of thoughts we have , to the strength in the similarity of one being to the other, to the heightened awareness of feelings and emotions to the consciousness of every deed and actions, to the mind and body connection we touch upon with a simple dance.
Dancing regularly has the power of release … from inhibitors like fear, seclusion, loneliness depressive states, mood swings, lack of confidence, social reservations and lack of communication. An hour of dancing regularly can bring a spring in the step and smile on one’s lips.
That said there are some parameters to take note of for enhanced benefits from dancing which need to be mentioned.
The dance and you:
Every individual is unique and it would be good to start learning gradually with an appropriate dance form suited to their innate nature and choice.
For example, there is no reason to push a beginner beyond their boundaries at they are introduced to certain dance movement without consent and choice. As the benefits of dancing can be seen when they love what they learn and dance what they love.
Take it easy and enjoy the journey!
Dance is not a war with oneself or another it is about being in harmony and at peace with the self so as to enjoy the dance.
The trainer the teacher you learn from always plays a much bigger role in making you love or hate what you learn.It is a huge responsibility as a teacher than to send out positive reflection appreciation and encouraging signals to communicate the power of dance and movement.
Although there are many wonderful teachers out there, try to work with someone chosen according to the goal plans you set for yourself as you begin to learn. That said …dedication discipline, attendance punctuality, appearance personal hygiene and faith and trust in your efforts are going to play a major role in the efforts from both sides.
Today as we celebrate the International Dance Day … I dedicate this post to the celebration of ‘Dance in and around us to the Dance and the Dancer in us all.’
To create is to move with the power to connect the apparent disconnects
To create is dare to reach beyond self-limiting doubts and judgments
To create is to enjoy the process every step of the way…
To create is to be uniquely you!

Most of us have indulged in one dance form or the other, enjoying the creative spurts in the process, but many of us assume that real dancers are those who are what we call the born artists, or the performers, or maybe only those who are trained or innately talented.
Dancing is an art form no doubt, but it is truly not reserved to a select few just because they have the privileges of being blessed with inborn talent .True gift of the power of dancing is equally available to everyone just as much as to the dancing genius! Indulging in any creative movement satisfies an individuals need to source, analyse assimilate, and create, from within. However, the trick is in the integration of such artistic dance pursuits into our everyday lives, as most of us lead such busy lives with little or no time to spare for a little self-enrichment.
Dancing is a creative expression from your soul which has the power to explore the depth of emotions and thoughts and brings in the open what’s hidden and inaccessible and thereby even heal oneself of limiting convictions and beliefs.
The creative surges give rise to the expansion of thoughts and one can feel transformed even in a single dance. We gradually become more balanced, focused and aware of our surroundings. We can simply start by bridging the dull gaps in our journey of life … filling them with beautiful movements that are as fulfilling as much as they are enriching!
Knowledge is one thing, understanding is quite another. Knowledge needs constant upgradation as it is never ever constant in the dimensions of time and space. The pathway to true wisdom is in acknowledgement of the possibilities of the new or the yet unknown.
Wisdom is in knowing beyond knowledge.
To think universally and act globally; to begin with and see the structure in chaos and relate to the rhythms in nature;
To follow along the infinite beginnings all leading to the same place — ‘Your true self’;
In a knowing that allows you to exercise free will to be who you are;
And that thoughts are but a tool for the thinking, that allows you to process the integration of the self and the entire cosmos.
Self and beyond —
Is there a distance and a difference?
If so, how far and of what?
Physical and social,
Mental and psychological
We may think immediately.
We may be set apart in time and space, yet we are so similar in vulnerabilities,
Persevering in hope and knowing the truth of mortality.
We breathe the same air, live in the same world.
We learn to see wisdom in change, in the interrelation, in the interdependence, in the interconnects.
So, in the wisdom of the wise, the wiser and the wisest
Is the understanding of the knowing behind the knowledge
To make sense beyond their meaning
And in the knowing, change begets wisdom
To accept from ordinary things can permeate untapped wisdom.
That the ‘ordinary’ possess nuggets of wisdom
In the knowing is the learning.
Then, there is no search, all is within —
The change, the changer, and the changing.
Change is inevitable, but you are the one in charge of how the change impacts you and how you respond to the changes.
Where one senses the calm of compassion, ears listen to sounds of silence.
In the chaos that may reign around,
The way of the heart finds its home
And roots itself deep within the core of the being.
Where peace and love abide side by side,
Where everything that matters is let to be,
Where talking is less and listening is more,
Where strength is not measured by power alone,
Where kindness of heart is the true wealth of being
In these eternal truths, contentment reigns,
Always in realization of what is than what was or might be.
And every heart knows the way.
Such is the way of the heart!

What is life if not sensed with the tenderness of the heart?
What is life if not sacrificed at the altar of love?
What is life if not moved from the depth of the soul?
What is life if not loved beyond the shackles of time?
What is life if not consumed sublime by the arrow of the heart?
What is love if not coached into nature of life by the nurture of love?
What is life if not cleansed through tears of yearning?
What is love if not set aglow through the embers of passion?
What is life if not basked in the warmth of love?
What is life if not pining in the patience?
As love conquers you, it blesses you in the knowing.
Make not a mockery of love.
Serenade love and allow it to speak truth.
Love surfaces from the depth of emotions
To mend you and this world a better place.
True love is eternal,
Free as bird in flights of oblivion,
Travelling in the abandon
Of the wilderness of the spirit
Yet bonded in the boundless infinity.
Endless love is a gift of grace.
Acknowledge this treasure,
Blending two souls in one
As a life loved is well-lived. It is such a rare sight!
What a blessing it truly is… A love like that!
Realizing the many miracles of life is also in knowing a love that can move your soul. We can consider ourselves lucky to have been touched by a love like that!
Creativity is abundant in the flow of life In moulding it to give form in the formless In blending in its essence to shape as you please In connecting the dots to structure it meaningfully
Every artist charts his path With the blessed touch of a mystical muse The muse appears uncalled and unforeseen But exits suddenly as it came …
Then when spaces prevail in the togetherness And the artist seeks on with a clouded vision What appears seems beyond comprehension Every moment begets its own challenge
When thoughts seem too scattered When emotions need time to settle When silence tends to stifle When every endeavour hits rock bottom
Trust in the knowing The muse will touch you In the oddest moment As it knows not time To give your thoughts a new pattern Although the path is of your own making.
Savvy
Every creative endeavour is an undefinable journey of peaks and pitfalls , of highs and lows. The artist can find themselves at crossroads questioning their very existence and therefrom find new paths to forge ahead in creativity. The challenge is to take it all in your stride knowing ‘to create is a responsibility’ and hence the apparent strifes prepare you in the process towards your purpose of being .
Flow is a matter of faith and trust when you know ‘All is in a state of flow’ Self belief takes shape in the form of a Muse and leads you on to a state of creative flow once more .
“It said, ‘Well Marianne, it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon.
“Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.
“And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and for your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey.
“Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.’”
Mollestad told host Rosemary Barton that when he read the line “stretch out your hand”, Ihlen had stretched out her hand.
There is more science in art than we ever will know and there is more art in science than we can ever sense.Yes, everyone is entitled to a difference of opinion and that at times may prove to be a costly mistake. However we are not into mistakes at the moment but about the art of science that acknowledges the metaphysical aspects of being seeing, knowing and sensing in the living among others.
Yes, science is evidence and proof based. It is logical and conclusive which makes it irrefutable but that is where it is stumped in reflectivity of the limitations that does not acknowledge the potential of infinite possibilities. Inroads in science although has travelled much in time has yet to prove a great many things about life and existence.
Although it is known to be a fact that the University of Bern did reject Einstein’s initial application for a doctorate in 1907, the above letter may have been verified for authenticity and questioned on many accounts after it became viral on social media. The letter for Einstein may have had its moments of the disappointment of how the world has perceived his vision at that moment. But time and space dimensions changed the entire picture for him and the world at large and what he said became relevant for its theory for those interested in the subject, its impact opened up new dimensions of thought.
Art takes a holistic view of the nature of life and is inclusive and expansive in nature. And this fundamental difference becomes the point of distinction which makes a huge difference in the art of seeing beyond the looking.
The acceptance of the manifold possibility that art brings could be the very reason for its expansive potential in world affairs and resolutions whether it is a matter of peace or war. Having said so, solutions are not in either art or science alone but is in the emergence of a stream of consciousness in awareness of a meeting point of art and science, the melting pot in convergence to transcendence. A space that is inclusive of the ‘ Artistically scientific’ in temperament and ‘Scientifically artful’ in structure. And we have travelled on far, as we stand today from the looks of it, the realisation is knocking already. It is just a matter of speculative probability on what swings the door open and how aesthetically we do it.
In every quest towards our being, the exploration at some point delves deeper into our own self. The inner self, speaks to us all the time at times complementing and other times contrasting with our outer self This can lead to altering states of awareness. Like our outer persona that is projected in this world our inner self is capable of wide range and facets of expression and although it is not defined by our disposition attitude or culture, it can express itself whenever it chooses.Our so-called subconscious other self and destruction amongst may other things can be an intuitive support, the forbearing friend from within our being.
Human beings are not one-dimensional in nature. To the inner self ‘the concepts of ‘bad’ and ‘good’ as usually interpreted are not defined by society’s culture and belief and destruction are the universal life truths evident in every decision we make , it arises from an inanate natural instinct for survival.The outer projections of the self is through an intricately webbed network of a balancing act between the emotional and mental states and its physical manifestations. So while the inner and outer self can be completely at odds with each other yet they feed each other and perhaps are evolving as they learn from one another.
Likewise every life exists on a physical plane as well as in a metphysical plane and perhaps amongst many other dimensions yet unknown, where the interconnects run deeper than we can fathom. Although life in every living being can seem an extremely individualistic in effort and approach and may seem justified as unique to its being, life thrives in the connectedness. This understanding is amplified whenever there is emergence of equanimity in thoughts and deeds in action and response than reaction. The arising patterns is seen then as a dance in every clarity in the consciousness. The ultimate truth is, we’re all one and interconnected in everything in sublimity .
Compassion is a gentle inclusive yet so very powered by its infinite expansiveness. Surrounding the self with compassion circles is a duty to your own soul rather than a selfish act. In a world that is apparently getting overly self-obsessed, conscious compassionate thoughts within will become gradually entrenched in the core structure of the being and what is powered from a strong core radiates outwards with the magnitude of faith and strength … therein lies the success of steering towards peace and humanity through positively uplifting thoughts.
Every compassionate thought that is then spread out will have the strength of its own circles of trust in the boundless infinity of love. Our world needs this in every moment more than we can even imagine. Harness the energies of Compassion that hugs, heals and helps humanise humans.
We are equipped by nature to give and share more than what we perceive we have, just like the abundance of nature our being is infinite in its potential.And in every compassionate share, there is greater regeneration and replenishment. With a deeper integration of compassionate reflections there occurs a transcendence towards universal empathy.
Connect yourself in this chain of compassionate circles and care to reach out from your core outward. .Trust enough to let go care to remember that we are all dancing beings in an exquisite circle of love and light beyond matter. All is well in the lightness of being. Let the connectedness in compassion dance from and through you !
