So they set out with him inside the dream,
while he is actually sleeping beside a river of pure water.

Sleep deeply wherever you are on the way.
Maybe some traveler will wake you.

Give up subtle thinking, the twofold, threefold
multiplication of mistakes.

Listen to the sound of waves within you.
–Rumi

"Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance when you're perfectly free."

ORIGINAL MIND

How many evenings
have you turned away?

As if the life you really want
could only begin

once something else had happened,
something else that was not yet here…

All the unmet conditions
you’ve placed before happiness

have kept you a person in waiting
like someone overlooked, someone

whose time has yet to come,
as if God somehow

forgot to pack you a lunch…

Right now
a wheel of fortune is spinning

but notice: its center is completely still,
unchanging, completely empty

Bet all your money here
on a clear reception

of that hollowness
a nothing that lacks nothing.

It’s like we have two minds.
One is conditioned, and conditional…

And it’s filled with drama:
—your anchorless ship ever drawing close

to fearful rocks of loss
or hopeful shores of gain.

But we don’t need all the drama
--or special conditions, for happiness

to visit and stay awhile.
It doesn’t need to be imported,

doesn’t need to be Maui
under a full moon,

with a special enchanting
someone in tow. Nor do we need

all our duckies
finally lined up in a row.

Our original mind
is already content

standing in any line, sitting in any chair,
or parked in an old jalopy

in any Safeway parking lot.
This mind is empty

of all that clutching
to outcomes and conditions.

Less picky, more eco-friendly.
Just this is enough.

Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you,

As a fish out of water hears the waves.
Come back. Come back.

This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.

~Rumi

http://makebelieveboutique.com/2016/01/28/14818/

There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken.
And a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength.
There is a hollow space too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being.
There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open to the place inside
which is unbreakable and whole.

As a baby nurses at
Its mother’s breast,
One must nurse at

So that one may discover
The essence of being.

Live forever.

All seeking is for
The cessation of pain.

Being sacred.
Movement away from there is
Movement toward unhappiness.

A different vessel.

A spiritual path
Efforts to enslave the meandering mind
Catching every thought
Watching every step
Torturing the body
Denying its instincts
Confining to the doctrines
A race for permanent bliss
Nirvana from life?
But in the end death is what you achieve
Mixed back to dust and recycled to form different matter
Never were you
Nor are you now...
What is, is one life
Here and now.

Rashmit Kalra

One may teach it to you
Using five thousand words
While another
Teaches it
Using only five.
This should not be
A source of worry.
Your ears will go to
The one they can hear.
Wu Hsin

If the words are heard,
Fully heard, not just
Listened to,
Then the work is over:
You are
What you have always been and
Always will be.
Therefore, what is left
To be done or undone?
And who is to do it?
Wu Hsin

The central problem is not that
You think too highly
Of yourelf
Nor is it that
You think too lowly
Of yourself.
Instead, it is that
You think constantly
Of yourself.
Wu Hsin

Mind as mind knows no peace, and
Mind at peace is no mind at all.
Wu Hsin

Those who see clearly
Want nothing,
Need nothing, not even a god.
Not needing any god, they become
Greater than any god.

AWAKEN FROM NIGHTMARES
BY ALLOWING YOGINI SOUL TO LEAD
ew
4:14 AM - 1/28/16

A true Yogini is an enlightened woman
with exuberant passion, spiritual powers and deep insight.
Yoginis communicate a sense of freedom, a sheer mastery in whatever they do.
With their compelling gazes, they can hypnotize even a great yogi
and are capable of changing their shapes at will.
Tantric scholars have written about Yoginis as independent, outspoken, forthright women with a gracefulness of spirit.
Without them, yoga can fail in its purpose and remain sterile.

https://vedanet.com/2012/06/13/yogini-the-enlightened-woman/

..below from Miriam Louisa

Life hurts.
But what you are never feels pain.

Everything changes.
But what you are remains unchanged, eternally......

You’re flat and exhausted and depressed.
But what you are is forever poised as equanimity.

You’re broke, stressed, squeezed dry, homeless and hungry.
But what you are is unaffected and impartial.

You’re smashed by disappointment, betrayal, abandonment.
But what you are is ever calm, accepting and unbroken.

You’re afflicted by physical and mental aberrations, abnormalities, imbalances.
But what you are never suffers for one second.

".....you enter upon the way of Chuang Tzu
when you leave all ways and get lost."
Thomas Merton
The Way of Chuang Tzu

http://terebess.hu/english/merton.html

The pivot of Tao passes through the center
where all affirmations and denials converge.
He who grasps the pivot is at the still-point
from which all movements and oppositions
can be seen in their right relationship...
Abandoning all thought of imposing a limit or taking sides,
he rests in direct intuition.
Chuang Tzu

When he is beyond form and semblance, beyond "this" and "that,"
where is the comparison with another object?
Where is the conflict?
What can stand in his way?
He will rest in his eternal place which is no-place.
He will be hidden in his own unfathomable secret.
His nature sinks to its root in the One.
His vitality, his power hide in secret Tao.
Chuang Tzu

When Chuang Tzu was about to die, his disciples began planning a splendid funeral. However some disciples expressed concern that given a particular arrangement, birds and kites would eat his remains.

Chuang Tzu replied, "Well, above ground I shall be eaten by crows and kites,
below it by ants and worms.
What do you have against birds?"

When the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten.
When the belt fits, the belly is forgotten.
When the heart is right, "for" and "against" are forgotten.
No drives, no compulsions, no needs, no attractions:
Then your affairs are under control.
You are a free man.

The only way you will ever awaken is through silence,
not through analyzation of facts,
not by sorting out good and bad,
but through simple silence, letting go.

Letting go of all thoughts,
all the hurts,
all the dogmas and concepts.

Letting go of these things daily.
Robert Adams
(via motherofhermes)
(via dailymindfulness)

Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed
is a most undesirable sentiment.
If you have behaved badly, repent,
make what amends you can
and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.
On no account brood over your wrongdoing.
Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting.
It is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

. . . You never find happiness until you stop looking for it.

My greatest happiness consists precisely in doing nothing whatever that is calculated to obtain happiness:
and this, in the minds of most people, is the worst possible course...

If you ask "what ought to be done" and "what ought not to be done" on earth in order to produce happiness,
answer that these questions do not have an answer.
There is no way of determining such things.
Yet at the same time, if I cease striving for happiness, the "right' and the "wrong" at once become apparent all by themselves.

Contentment and well-being at once become possible
the moment you cease to act with them in view,
and if you practice non-doing (wu wei),
you will have both happiness and well-being.
Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Uncreated To name Tao is to name no-thing.
Tao is not the name of (something created).

"Cause" and "chance" have no bearing on the Tao.
Tao is a name that indicates without defining.
Tao is beyond words and beyond things.
It is not expressed either in word or in silence.
Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.

Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)
Source:"Quotations from Chuang Tzu" by Thomas Merton

The hidden so-called scholars of old
did not hide themselves and refuse to be seen.
They did not close the door on their words and refuse to let them out. They did not shut away their wisdom and refuse to share it.

But those times were all haywire.

If it had been possible for them to act,
they could have done great things,
bringing all to Oneness without any sign of doing so.

However, the times were not favorable and it was not possible,
so they put down deep roots,
remained still and waited.

This was the Tao by which they survived.

Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Look, and it can't be seen.
Listen, and it can't be heard.
Reach, and it can't be grasped.

Above, it isn't bright.
Below, it isn't dark.
Seamless, unnamable,
it returns to the realm of nothing.
Form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle, beyond all conception.

Approach it and there is no beginning;
follow it and there is no end.
You can't know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:
this is the essence of wisdom.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors.
But today we kneel only to truth,
follow only beauty,
and obey only love.
~Kahlil Gibran

Creative work saves us from the smaller self,
the self that looks at the world
with a tight-lipped, narrow-eyed determination,
the self that turns away from the softness and life-sustaining idleness, from the silence and stillness where stories and music and images, where necessary wisdom and unearned blessings, find us….

Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.

If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself.
Some say, "Well, Abraham you teach selfishness."
And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do,
because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection,
you don't have anything to give anyone, anyway.
And when you are selfish enough to make that connection--
you have an enormous gift
that you give everywhere you are.
---Abraham

“Love is the keynote,
Joy is the music,
Knowledge is the performer,
the Infinite All is the composer and audience.”
-Sri Aurobindo

For the momentous truth is that the spirit, the Tao,
the divine reality must not be sought as something far away,
separate from us, in a heaven to which we may ascend only after death;
but rather as something close at hand, forever, and forever in the inmost of us: "more interior to us," as Thomas Aquinas says, "than we are to ourselves."

Thus the holiness of life is not a kind of attribute
but inherent in the divine nature of the ground,
the divine spirit of man.
~John Lane
http://makebelieveboutique.com/2016/01/24/14724/

And if only we arrange our life in accordance with the principle
which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult,
then what now appears to us as the most alien
will become our most intimate and trusted experience.
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses
who are only waiting to see us act, just once,
with beauty and courage.

Perhaps everything that frightens us is,
in its deepest essence,
something helpless that wants our love.

She had to breathe in peace,
for in peace she found the quiet solitude
her heart had been aching for.

In the moments between raindrops
she let her focus dwell and the sound of silence comforted her
more than an avalanche of superficial banter.

She had to breathe in peace,
for in peace she found the quiet solitude
her heart had been aching for.

In the moments between raindrops
she let her focus dwell and the sound of silence comforted her
more than an avalanche of superficial banter.

Declare a rapture of your senses and sip raindrops from your eyelashes.
Walk your fingertips along each vertebrae.
Watch each hair follicle dance in the quiver of your aliveness.

Quiet times are essential.
It is necessary to step out of the drama of meaningless dribble
and part the rain from the drops and melt into the puddles.
Solitude is like water.
Drink it, create it with no regret.

I dip gratefully into the sunshine and sip dew from the grass.
I befriend nature and listen to the messages.
I fly to the tops of branches and feel
the hum of a hummer fluttering in my heart.

In the speed of light,
I see the patches of shade and dance lightly.
I catch a wisp of a spider’s web and dangle
between the echo and the silence.
It is here I find a moment to fill my heart with joy……..

Tea In The Wilderness
------------------------------

If you've abandoned the walled villages,
Of belief, faith, and dogma,
And Wander, alone, in The Wilderness,
You will not encounter many others there,
Where those requiring “knowledge” fear to go.

Low Tide coarse sand...shell bits.....

There, where even a lean-to or rocky ledge,
Is too much shelter against the Great Mystery,
Where a single word says far too much,
Where the mouth is shut, but the eyes…
Like a child's, are wide open in Wonder.

There, when you chance upon a Wanderer,
Gazing within, Absorbed in their own Vastness,
Unaware of your awareness of them,
You do not intrude upon that Inner Temple,
But quietly set a trap for their Heart.

In a place close by, unseen,
You build a fire, and make Tea,
Waiting... ever so patiently to see,
If their Soul can sense the Aroma,
And turn to find, the Wilderness in you.

If they should turn, and come to Drink,
Nothing is spoken of belief, or faith,
For they, like you, have abandoned such,
And only the song of the birds is heard,
And the rustling of The Unknowable…
Through the leaves of your Souls.

Everything can be expressed without the emotional drama and trauma.
Everything can be accepted without emotional drama and trauma.
Only if we accept that life has no meaning and purpose other than to flow.
It is the nature of life force to manifest
just like its nature of flower to spread its fragrance.
It has no specific target ot purpose.
It just is.

So is the life -
-a force that is manifesting continuously -
-transforming, creating, and recycling.

Life is easy without any need to understand it...
..without any desire to liberate from it,
without any attachment to any outcome or purpose,
without any fear of action...... just live

Live and wonder....for there is nothing to understand.

And a wind from God swept over the face of the waters’ - a commentary

It is said in the Book of Genesis:
‘In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth,
the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep,
while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.’

What do these first lines of the book of Genesis mean?
As indicated by the words ‘formless’, ‘void’, ‘darkness’ and ‘deep’, before creation, the universe was an unorganized and dark space.

But the spirit of God moved above this chaos.

Water represents the original cosmic matter which the spirit of God,
the primordial fire, penetrated in order to impregnate it.

Contrary to popular belief, earth is not the element that best expresses
the properties and qualities of matter.
It is water, whose qualities are receptivity, adaptability and malleability.
Water thus symbolizes the raw material
which received the fertilizing seeds of the spirit.

By fertilizing matter, the spirit works on it, and as it does so,
new creations appear and it discovers its powers, and gets to know itself.

So if you ask me why God created the universe, I will say... to know himself.
The Cabbalah teaches that God wanted to know himself through his reflection,
and this idea is represented precisely as a stretch of water which reflects his face.

I know I need to return to my home desperately urgently.
I don't know where it is
except deep inside me I hear the call of the instinctual nature.
It is like the blind homing run of a salmon spawned in a river
who instinctively, intuitively knows its way back.
I need peace, tranquility and space in order to do so
and I am going to have it because it is my life blood
which is seeping away…
It is time to return
http://www.wildwolfwomen.com/sl/homing.htm

"...The most important thing I can tell you
about the timing of the home cycle is this:
When it's time, it's time.
if you're not ready
even if things are undone,
even if today your ship is coming in.

When it's time, it's time.
The seal woman returns to the sea not because she feels like it,
not because today is a good day to go,
not because her life is all nice and tidy --
there is no nice and tidy time for anyone.

She goes because it is time,
and therefore she must"...

That deep silence has a melody of its own,
a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world's sounds.”
― Paul Brunton, The Notebooks of Paul Brunton

View of sand/ocean taken from "Surrender + Fueling" Yoga Forward Fold Pose

When it seems humanly impossible to do more in a difficult situation,
surrender yourself to the inner silence
and thereafter wait for a sign of obvious guidance
or for a renewal of inner strength.
― Paul Brunton

“Every morning is like a new reincarnation into this world.
Let us take it then for what it is and live each moment anew.”
― Paul Brunton

"Wildlife and the Wild Woman are both endangered species."
http://www.wildwolfwomen.com/sl/bones.htm

The wolf bones ... represent the indestructible aspect of the wild Self,
the instinctual nature, the criatura dedicated to freedom and the unspoiled,
that which will never accept the rigors and requirements
of a dead or overly civilizing culture.

To sing means to use one's soul voice.
It means to say on the breath the truth of one's power and one's need,
to breathe soul over the thing that is of one's power and one's need,
to breathe soul over the thing that is ailing or in need of restoration.

This is done by descending into the deepest mood of great love and feeling,
till one's desire for relationship with the wildish Self overflows,
then to speak one's soul from that frame of mind.

That is singing over the bones.

Our stories are our medicine, our soul vitamins as Estes calls them.
One of the ways that we find the Wild Woman is through the telling of stories,
the singing over these bones.
It's these bones that show us the door to our scars,
and it's through our deepest scars
that Wild Woman is most easily reached.

http://www.wildwolfwomen.com/sl/bones.htm

When a woman is strong in her instinctual nature,
she intuitively recognizes the innate predator by scent, sight, and hearing ...
...anticipates its presence, hears it approaching, and takes steps to turn it away.

In the instinct injured woman,
the predator is upon her before she registers its presence,
for her listening, her knowing and the apprehensions are impaired --
--mainly by introjects
which exhort her to be nice, to behave,
and especially to be blind to being misused.

--"Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
http://www.wildwolfwomen.com/sl/intuition.htm

..... over and over again the poorest bargain of our lives
is the one we make when we forfeit our deep knowing life
for one that is far more frail;
when we give up our teeth, our claws, our sense, our scent;
when we surrender our wilder natures
for a promise of something that seems rich
but turns out hollow instead.. --"Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Within the natural order,
There are opposites but
No opposition.

There exists a concept upon which

The notion of a distinct entity that
Stands apart from the world.
It is only when this is seen as false that
What is true, What-Is may shine.

I recommended that people become more nonconformist and even eccentric, because when you live from the soul you are less normal
than if you adjust to society and have a strong ego.

I reminded them of Plato's idea that there are ways
to be slightly mad that can be creative:
love,
contemplation,
making art,
and being seriously intuitive.

I emphasized certain gifts of soul:
being a real individual,
having a capacity for connection and love,
living intimately,
having a vision,
being a real persona and enjoying depth,
and creating from a deep place within you.

Soul is also at home amid variety and diversity.

It doesn't aspire to things like wholeness, unity, and integration.

It speaks in dreams and a generally poetic style of speech.
It appears best in stories and meandering conversations
and communing with nature.
Thomas Moore

The wise are forever peaceful.
They remain calm and composed during their activities.
They realize that they are
Moved by something that is No Thing and are
Unaffected by what others do, say, or think.

They have no worries, anxieties or cares because
They understand that nothing is theirs and that
Everything is being done by this
Something that is No Thing with which
They are in conscious union.

In that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,
coming back to this life from the other
more secret, moveable and frighteningly honest world
where everything began,
there is a small opening into the new day
which closes the moment you begin your plans.

5/27/15

What you can plan is too small for you to live.
What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough
for the vitality hidden in your sleep.

5/2/15

To be human is to become visible
while carrying what is hidden as a gift to others.
To remember the other world in this world
is to live in your true inheritance.

1/3/15 Pond Rock

You are not a troubled guest on this earth,
you are not an accident amidst other accidents
you were invited from another and greater night
than the one from which you have just emerged.

A comfort zone is a beautiful place,

~ Unknown

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
-Anais Nin

True belonging comes from within.
It strives for a harmony between the outer forms of belonging
and the inner music of the soul.
We seem to have forgotten the true depth
and spiritual nature of intimate belonging.

Our minds are saturated and demented.
We need to rediscover ascetical tranquility
and come home to the temple of our senses.

This would anchor our longing and help us to feel the world from within.
When we allow dislocation to control us,
we become outsiders,
exiled from the intimacy of true unity with ourselves,
each other, and creation.

Our bodies know that they belong;
it is our minds that make our lives homeless.

Guided by longing, belonging is the wisdom of rhythm.
When we are in rhythm with our nature,
things flow and balance naturally.

Every fragment does not have to be relocated, reordered;
things cohere and fit according to their deeper impulse and instinct.

~John O'Donohue

"Sir Logan" - 1 year old son of friends Jerry and Brandy

The hero's will is not that of his ancestors nor of his society, but his own.

Wu Hsin

All that has been learned until now,
Read until now,
Heard until now,
Seen until now and
Thought until now,
Has not produced the desired results.
Reject it all and
Investigate what remains.

No experience can provide the elixir.
That which occurs in time cannot
Take one to the timeless.

Smaller than the smallest,
Larger than the largest,
One is.
Onto this,
All appears, lingers and departs.

One is the stonemason that
Constructs one’s own prison.
One can tear it down.
This is initiated by
Dismantling one’s most basic certainties.

When the energy that fed it is
No longer provided,
Falsehood dies of neglect.

Separate Is not something one is.
Separate is something one does.
With its cessation,
Lucidity is unveiled.

The wise treat the personality like a shadow;
It follows them along
Yet, it is no bother.

Understanding is not birthed by
A mental process any more than
Blue sky is created by
A clearing in the clouds.

All quotes above in purple font are from
Wu Hsin

Gillian took us thru all 30 Poses in the Flow Yoga Sequence this morning on the deck...
....EXTRAORDINARY!!!!!

The world comes in to being with
The division into I and other-that-I.
Return to that point prior to the division is
The restoration of unity.

As swimmers dare

freefall, and float

Sometimes you have to leave
what you think you know
behind.
No one ever really wants to do this.
Knowing things
thinking we know things
can be very comforting.
All day, soul whispers
what I need to know.
I don’t hear her
until I lay aside
cherished beliefs and assumptions
until I dare to be with the not-knowing.
And then. . . .
Well, that’s the risky part, isn’t it?
There is no telling
what living an ensouled life
might ask of us.

~Oriah Mountain Dreamer

in the bigger picture,
we act gracefully and in sync with our highest ideals...

http://makebelieveboutique.com/2016/01/09/14490/

The path of the soul is from the individual to the universal,
and beyond and to Itself, essential suchness, formless Being.

Happiness is a superstition, but joy is your birthright.

We think that by working in our everyday,
busy mind and polishing the personality
and letting its best aspects express themselves,
we can make ourselves perfect.

But even enlightenment does not perfect the personality- only the point of view.
We are enlightened out of the personality,
the individual and separate,
into the soul,
the universal inseparable.

Chuck Surface

"I Am" Before "I" Am
---------------------------
The Quest, as I knew it, was not "religious”,
But outside of those walled confines.
In fact, I railed against The Great Traditions,
For telling us of Heaven and “enlightenment”,
And then denying them to those of us,
Lacking in the requisite virtues.

For only the meritorious "attain",
Only the disciplined "transcend",
Only the "worthy" may enter,
Only those who "understand" will see,
Only those who "believe" are Blessed.

Rather, it was turning within, with all my Heart,
In search of Formless, Unmanifest “I”,
Before manifest “I” and the world arose,
That took me to Heaven;
An inward turning which resulted,
In the Absolute Vanishing of all duality…
Revealing I Am, without “I”.

It was, in a sense, what I Am,
Before "I" and the world appear,
But again, not rightly "I Am", at all,
For there was no sense, at all,
Of a formless “something”,
Aware only of ItSelf.

No thing at all alive, but only… Aliveness… Life.

After the fact, I pondered,
As it seems all who have Vanished do,
About "what" it was that had remained,
At the End of all Creation,
And "what" it was that lingered here;
This touch of Heaven's Rapture...
In the Heart of “I”, this Manifest Being.

But in all these years, I have found no words,
To describe the Indescribable Unmanifest,
The I Am, when “I” am not,
Or this Gift of Unimaginable Grace,
Here, in the Dream of manifestation,
My Companion, my Beloved… Myself?

It all remains, as do “I”, a Great Mystery…
Experienced, but beyond grasping,
To Which I pray ceaselessly,
In a Voice without sound,
The Radiant Heart,
Speaking to Itself.

The calling is not to
Go beyond the mind.
The calling is to be, which is
Prior to the mind.
Wu Hsin

Retreating to the point of creation,
what can possibly be said?
The voice of silence
Says it best.
Wu Hsin

I am not I.
I am this one walking beside me
whom I do not see, whom
at times I manage to visit, and whom
at other times I forget;
who remains calm and silent while I talk,
and forgives gently, when I hate,

who walks where I am not,
who will remain standing
when I die.
