I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope,
for hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
wait without love,
for love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith,
but the faith and the love are all in the waiting.

Wait without thought,
for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot

Sometimes I’m swimming against currents that are so strong,
that even my best attempts are going to result in backward motion.
Last month, when I swam across the Chesapeake Bay,
at times there were cross currents and headwinds that made it feel
as though you were swimming in a washing machine.

January 17, 2017

I kept looking up to see how far I had to go.
However, every time I did that I swallowed
a gush of diesel-tasting water and hurt my shoulder.
I made better progress when I kept my head in the water,
forgot about where I was going or how far to land,
and just focused on one stroke after another.

February 11, 2015

It seems as though the darker the place,
the less thinking required.
Maybe Eliot maybe knew something about severe depression
when he said just be still, don’t think.

Soon the darkness will be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.

In the Garden of The Beloved
NAME AND FORM
Don’t call Me “The Beloved”, She said.
Don’t call Me “The Beautiful One”.
Don’t call Me anything at all.
Don’t imagine Me Transcendent, She said.
Don’t imagine Me as Immanent.
Don’t imagine Me at all.

Let your Attention Fall, Heartlong,
Into the depths of your Deepest Interiority.
Vanish, into the Essence of what you Are.
Don’t call it Soul, She said.
Don’t call it Atman.
Don’t call it anything at all.
Don’t imagine it as spirit, She said.
Don’t imagine a formless “something”.
Don’t imagine it at all.

Vanish there, along with all of creation,
And, no longer existing as one existent,
Exist in the Ecstasy of Nonexistence.
When you return from that Heaven,
Give Me a name, if you must.

Imagine Me, if you must.
But do not insist that others name Me so,
Or imagine Me in the way you have,
For neither of these are what I Am.

Remember, above all things remembered,
I am no word spoken or image imagined,
But Am, above all else, Love.
Forgetting this…
You have remembered nothing,
And have forgotten everything.

the muse of despair
Finally on my way to yes
I bump into
all the places
where I said no
to my life

all the untended wounds
the red and purple scars
those hieroglyphs of pain
carved into my skin and bones,
those coded messages
that send me down
the wrong street
again and again
where I find them,

the old wounds
the old misdirections
and I lift them
one by one
close to my heart
and I say holy
holy.

the muse of despair

We must be willing to abide in a space
of not knowing before we can settle into knowing.
Such a space is sacred.
It is liminal, and it's numinous.
It is frightening and enlivening.
It demands no less than everything,
and it gives back tenfold.
There is a vital connection
between creativity and mysticism.
To engage with the creative impulse
is to agree to take a voyage
into the heart of the Mystery.
We become a channel for grace.

If you want to perceive and understand objectively,
just don't allow yourself to be confused by people.

Detach from whatever you find inside or outside yourself –
detach from religion, tradition, and society,
and only then will you attain liberation.
When you are not entangled in things,
you pass through freely to autonomy.

Sadhguru

For almost twenty years I’ve been writing about an invisible, contagious death-creating virus that no one is immune to that has been insidiously spreading and replicating itself throughout the human species.

This deadly disease is a virus of the mind
—the Native Americans call it “wetiko”--
that literally cultivates and feeds on fear and separation.
A psycho-spiritual illness,
it is a psychosis in the true sense of the word,
“a sickness of the spirit.”

4:26 AM-4/27/20

BY MARIA POPOVA
It is our biological wiring to exist — and then not;
it is our psychological wiring to spend our lives
running from this elemental fact
on the hamster wheel of busyness
and the hedonic treadmill of achievement,
running from the disquieting knowledge
that the atoms
huddling for a cosmic blink
around the shadow of a self
will one day disband and return to the
“aloof stars”
that made them.

If we still ourselves for a moment,
or are bestilled by circumstance,
we glimpse that fact, then hasten to avert our gaze.
We go on holding it as an abstraction, an unproven theorem;
go on casting spells against
the proof in stone and wood and promises;
go on building houses and egos,
signing thirty-year mortgages,
trading the forged mint of forever
as contractual currency
in marital vows.

And then one day, some certitude fissures --
in the broken surface of a split lip, a split love,
a split in Earth’s quaked crust;
in the slow-burning wildfire of a pandemic,
smoking its way across the globe
until it blazes into a shared inferno;
in the cold blade of a terminal diagnosis,
sudden and close to the bone.

We wake up to unalloyed reality with
a scream,
a silence,
a hollow hallelujah.

AFTERNOON

In the Garden of The Beloved
April 25, 2020
MAYBE WE CAN
A bird flew across my path today,
And, compassion filling my Heart,
I wished, with all of my Heart,
That I could Bless that little Being.

And in that instant I realized,
That I held the same Loving wish,
For all that my eyes beheld,
Both sentient and insentient.
If only I could satisfy this desire,
That fills my eyes with tears,
To Bless every atom of Creation,
With The Beloved’s Benediction.

Is there a Power, I wondered,
In this Radiant Presence, within,
That transcends the binding laws,
Holding sway in manifestation.

Can I, can we, through Love, Enliven,
And Illumine with Grace, the world,
In ways that transcend and confound,
The dominion of the known?
Maybe I can; maybe we can.

intimacy with this

Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful
than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon
and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone–

and how it slides again
out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower
streaming upward on its heavenly oils,
say, on a morning in early summer,
at its perfect imperial distance–

and have you ever felt for anything
such wild love–

do you think there is anywhere, in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure
that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you
as you stand there,
empty-handed–

or have you too
turned from this world–
or have you too
gone crazy
for power,
for things?

AFTERNOON

It was passed from one bird to another,
the whole gift of the day.

The day went from flute to flute,
went dressed in vegetation,
in flights which opened a tunnel
through which the wind would pass
to where birds were breaking open
the dense blue air -
and there, night came in.

When I returned from so many journeys,
I stayed suspended and green
between sun and geography -

I saw how wings worked,
how perfumes are transmitted
by feathery telegraph,
and from above I saw the path,
the springs and the roof tiles,
the fishermen at their trades,
the trousers of the foam;

I saw it all from my green sky.
I had no more alphabet
than the swallows in their courses,
the tiny, shining water
of the small bird on fire
which dances out of the pollen.

—Pablo Neruda

What, Me Worry?

I Worried

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not, how shall
I correct it?

Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?

Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.

Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing
and gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang.

Sit in solitude...
Silently listening within...

Qusntumming Table Arrives - Island Sanctarii Massage Table-A Gift from Friends

It is not enough to be quiet,...
It is necessary to become silence.
Robert Cardinal Sarah
https://mereorthodoxy.com/book-review-power-silence-robert-cardinal-sarah/

A Sublime Hope
In silence,
man can tell how limited earthly time is.
In sickness
it is possible for us to live almost
perfectly attuned to God.

The silent examination of conscience,
at the heart of the pain,
allows man to look at what he has made of his life
and what remains is for him to accomplish.

Sickness is a sublime hope in the great silence of God.

If man rebels against sickness,
he falls little by little into a sterile despair, a blind alley,
and aggressive anxious refusal.

Rebellion is not resistance,
which is first and foremost a silent interior step.

Our Lungs hold Our Grief:
What COVID-19 might be Trying to Tell Us.

We must, for our survival, heal our collective hurts and wounds.
We must start bridging the great divides that separate our hearts from each other.

We must start paying attention to our sweet mama Earth.
And it starts with healing our personal grief, hurts, and wounds.

It starts with the radical notion of loving oneself.
It starts with being fully present in our own hearts.
It starts with taking a breath deep into our lungs—one of gratitude, love, and joy, one of holding with tenderness
the grief that is also present.

Grief is literally one breath after another.
It is making space for change,
knowing that many parts inside will resist.

It is not giving up on ourselves
when we slide back into old ways and old habits.
It is coming back into the space inside our chests
that holds the knowing.

It is trusting and being present in our bodies,
in our lungs, and in our hearts.
Our survival depends on whether or not
we allow ourselves to feel and heal our grief.

AFTERNOON

when laying low is an act of kind discretion...
inquiry for today~ how can we say no more often?
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/24/32208/

We live in a time of the dissected soul,
the immediate disclosure;
our thoughts, imaginings and longings
exposed to the light too much,
too early and too often,
our best qualities squeezed too soon
into a world already awash
with too easily articulated ideas
that oppress our sense of self
and
our sense of others.

What is real
is almost always to begin with, hidden,
and does not want to be understood
by the part of our mind that mistakenly
thinks it knows what is happening.
What is precious inside us
does not care to be known by the mind
in ways that diminish its presence.

Hiding is an act of freedom
from the misunderstanding of others,
especially in the enclosing world of oppressive
secret government and private entities,
attempting to name us, to anticipate us,
to leave us with no place to hide and grow
in ways unmanaged by a creeping necessity
for absolute naming,
absolute tracking and absolute control.

Hiding is a bid for independence, from others,
from mistaken ideas we have about our selves,
from an oppressive and mistaken wish
to keep us completely safe,
completely ministered to,
and therefore completely managed.

Hiding is creative,
necessary
and
beautifully subversive
of
outside interference and control.

Hiding leaves life to itself,
to become more of itself.

Hiding is the radical independence necessary
for our emergence
into the light of a proper human future.
~David Whyte
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/24/32208/

When I see that my thought is incapable of understanding,
that its movement brings nothing,
I am open to the sense of the cosmic,
beyond the realm of human understanding.

“Think ‘I am suffering’,
and you are suffering.

Replace the thought ‘I am suffering’
with the thought ‘I am free, I am Freedom,
I am Consciousness, I am not the body’.

Do not kiss your ego by saying ‘I am suffering’,
rather kiss yourself by saying
‘I am Free’.”

Paul saith, "This is God's will, our sanctification."
And this is our sanctification,
to know what we were before time,
what we are in time,
and what we shall be after time.
While I am here, He is in me;
after this life, I am in Him.

If the world is to be healed through human efforts,

People who can open to the web of life
that called us into being.

AFTERNOON

Below excerpts in this font from:
Who Knew?
Amidha K. Porter, M.A.

We must be willing to let go of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell

The Veda tells us that change is constant, that the nature of the relative world is continual change, always.
Like the weather in Montana:
if you don't like it,
wait a few minutes,
it will change.

But the Veda also tells us that the changing nature of the universe is always progressive.
Evolution is the only thing that's ever happening here. Always.

Like rivers always flowing downstream:
regardless of how many curves and meanderings
they may take,
they always reach the ocean.

Downstream flow is the nature of water.
And evolution is the nature of consciousness. Consciousness cannot help but evolve.
It cannot help but expand, widen, deepen, grow.
This is its very nature.
Though we may resist it or ignore it,
pretend it isn't so,
in fact it is so. It always has been,
it always will be.
Jeff Kober

Remember that all through history,
there have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time, they seem invincible.
But in the end, they always fall.
Always.
- Mahatma Gandhi

Leading to my Soul,
Exploring them in silent stillness,
My true Self I come to know.

From Yogananda:

Nervousness is highly contagious
Nervousness can also be caused by a restless mind,
which sends excess energy vibrating along the nerves.
Too little sleep is harmful to the nerves,
but too much sleep drugs the nerves.

Lack of the necessities for normal and happy living
such as exercise, fresh air, sunshine, proper food,
agreeable work, and a purpose in life aggravate,
if they do not actually cause, nervousness.

Nervousness is highly contagious
and can be caused by associating with nervous,
faultfinding,
or otherwise disagreeable people.

SLEEP = ("POOF") Return to Immortal Core

SLEEP
Why it is necessary for our survival

From the moment we fall asleep our soul moves away from our physical body
and goes to join the universal Soul.

During the body's rest,
an entire process of
cleansing and purification takes place.

Subtle ties known as the 'silver cord'
keep the soul connected to the physical body
when it leaves it.

On its return,
the soul finds the house swept,
cleaned and washed,
and it can take up its work again.

If the soul did not leave the body in this way,
we would die from poisoning and asphyxiation,
because the work of cleansing could not be done.

You may wonder where these toxins and poisons come from.
They are produced quite simply because life is a combustion.
All the physical, emotional and mental activities we know as 'life' give off forces,
but they also leave behind impurities
which take a while to be eliminated.

So it is necessary for the soul
to withdraw from the body
so the cleansing can take place.

Sleep is the solution
that cosmic Intelligence has found
so that we can continue to live.

*With the kind of population that we have become and the level of empowerment we have reached, if we do not turn inward now, we are going to be the biggest disaster that humanity has ever seen.
The Only Problem
There is only one problem in the world – human beings.
And the only problem with the human being is
that he is unconscious and compulsive.
Whether this unconsciousness and compulsiveness
manifests itself in the form of war or a domestic situation,
it does not matter.
Sadhguru
https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/en/wisdom/article/death-book-raw-shocking

Life and Death in One Breath

Whatever you wish to do,
you must bring yourself to a moment
of joy and clarity within yourself.
Why I am saying joy is because
when you are happy you are not compulsive.

When you are very happy and clear,
at that time if you look at things and see that
“Yes, this is what is more sensible for me”
– just do that.

It does not matter if it feels like hell;
it does not matter if you go through hell for ten years,
you just do that,
because that is where your wellbeing is.

Whenever your emotions go up and down,
your mind says many things
– that is not important.

It says one thing in the morning,
one thing in the evening;
it says one thing today and another thing tomorrow,
that is of no consequence.

When you are in different states of compulsiveness,
if you make decisions as to which way to turn,
you will be endlessly lost.

― Sadhguru, Life and Death in One Breath

AFTERNOON

When dew falls as tears from the morning sky,
When riverside trees sparkle in sunlight,
So close in my heart their shadows fall,
Then I know
The Universe is a floating lotus
In the holy lake of my mind.
Then I know:
I am the voice within the Voice,
The song within the Song,
The life within the Life,
The light breaking through the heart of Darkness."

From "A Flight of Swans", translated by Aurobindo Bose

Life and Death in One Breath
This song of mine will wind
its music around you, my child,
like the fond arms of love.

This song of mine will touch
your forehead like a kiss of blessing.

When you are alone it will sit
by your side and whisper in your ear.
When you are in the crowd
it will fence you about with aloofness.

My song will be like
a pair of wings to your dreams.
It will transport your heart
to the verge of the unknown.

It will be like the faithful star overhead
when dark night is over your road.

My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,
and will carry your sight to the heart of things.

And when my voice is silent in death,
my song will speak to your living heart.

I have already died all deaths,
and I am going to die all deaths again,
die the death of the wood in the tree,
die the stone death in the mountain,
earth death in the sand,
leaf death in the crackling summer grass
and the poor bloody human death.

I will be born again,
flowers, tree and grass
I will be born again.

I will wait here in the fields
to see how well the rain
brings on the grass.
In the labor of the fields
longer than a man's life
I am at home. Don't come with me.
You stay home too.

I will be standing in the woods
where the old trees
move only with the wind
and then with gravity.
In the stillness of the trees
I am at home. Don't come with me.
You stay home too.

Our eyes are not transparent windows
to the outside world,
despite evolution’s brilliant illusion.
When we think we’re walking the streets of a city,
we’re really strolling the neural paths of our brains. Everything that appears to be outside is really inside.
For all intents and purposes, there is no outside.
The brain is a universe unto itself:
billions of twinkling neurons,
dendrites splayed like fingers
reaching for the beginning of time,
chemical messengers leaping across
the mindless darkness
of deep intracranial space.

He: God is more powerful than this virus.
She: Perhaps God is this virus unfolding. All that we see is That One.

He: We are at war with this evil killer.
She: There is a teaching for every person. Have you not had a thought that is new?

He: We must conquer it and return to normal.
She: A door to the new has creaked open. The ways of the past led to ruin.

He: God will stop the spread of this suffering. He will hear our prayers and take mercy.
She: We are the hands and feet of That One. It is our time to create a just world.

He: We must look to the Bible for help.
She: A new Bible bubbles up from these times. Prophets are all around us, crying out day and night: Our Earth is the Revelation! Our answers dwell in her depths.

He: Stop! Your words hurt my ears!
God’s wrath will rain down upon you.
She: There is no wrathful God who would hurt me. No God on a throne in the sky. We are one with Creation Unfolding. We are Light slowed down to take form.

He: You blaspheme! We are human and sinful!
She: Our bodies are made of stardust, mixed with clay from the Earth. We are the children of Love and Beauty, born from Eternity and time.

He: You speak nonsense. I will not listen
.She: Then your mistakes will repeat again. You will leave no home for your children; you will steal their future and their hope.

He: It’s all in God’s hands, not my own.

She: You’re a child who will not grow up. It is humans who make this culture. Humans who take care of the poor. Humans who stand up to monsters who rape the Earth for her riches. It is a lie that God will save us. It is we with the world in our hands.

He: You are a nasty woman! I will close my ears to your words.

She: Your fear is a dam that is broken, trying to hold back our rivers of truth. We are everywhere speaking our power. New sacred texts are arriving, from the pens of our poets and prophets.
The old will be toppled by justice.
War and greed will be turned upside down.
We are creatures of Earth who adore her,
who'll be silenced no more by your threats.

how do you feel?
If you don’t feel like starting a new project, don’t.
If you don’t feel the urge to make something new,
Just rest in the beauty of the old, the familiar, the known.
If you do’t feel like talking, stay silent.
If you’re fed up with the news, turn it off.
If you want to postpone something until tomorrow, do it.
If you want to do nothing, let yourself do nothing today.
Feel the fullness of the emptiness, the vastness the silence,
The sheer life in your unproductive moments.
Time does not always need to be filled.
You are enough, simply in your being.

Feel Your Feelings - Fred LaMotte

It is good, it is very good
to feel precisely
what I am feeling,
even grief, and despair.

For when I am completely
what I feel,
there is transformation
and healing.

No darkness left
to penetrate,
for I am all night.
This is how light is born.

This is how the bud
breaks open, spilling
beauty from a wound.

This is how the chrysalis
frees a golden moth
from its season
of uncertainty.

This is how your tear
becomes the sky.

There is a beautiful complexity of growth
within the human soul.

In order to glimpse this,
it is helpful to visualize the mind
as a tower of windows.
Sadly, many people remain trapped
at the one window,
looking out every day at
the same scene in the same way.

Real growth is experienced
when you draw back from that one window,
turn, and walk around
the inner tower of the soul
and see all the different windows
that await your gaze.

Through these different windows,
you can see new vistas
of possibility, presence, and creativity.

Complacency, habit, and blindness
often prevent you from feeling your life.
So much depends on the frame of vision --
the window through which you look.

AFTERNOON

So as you prepared to enter
into the planetary relationship,
you created beings to represent
your original state of unified awareness.
These are the angels.

Their value, as well as their limitation,
springs from the fact
that they have no comprehension
of the process you are undertaking.

Their instructions
were to pretty much stay out of things
until near the very end of the process.
Then, upon receipt of a pre-arranged signal,
they were to commune with the human beings on Earth
at that time and assist them in awakening to their
original state of unified consciousness.

― Ken Carey, The Starseed Transmissions

Something happens to you
when you begin to think about this planet
as a single living organism.

And when you begin to live in that awareness,
nothing is ever again quite the same.

Nothing can be the same after that.
Nations began to look like people to me,
like familiar friends.

The distinctions between religion, biology,
and politics began to blur.

I began to wonder why
I had always assumed
that human thought was the only kind of thought--
as if nature would be content
with a single species of flower,
or just one kind of tree.
― Ken Carey

RETURN OF THE BIRD TRIBES
Ken Carey

If you seek first
the sacred vision of the Great Spirit,
you will see as the Creator sees,
and in that seeing,
you will find that what you need from the earth
will come readily into your hands.
But if you seek first
to secure your early desire
and forget the spirit,
you will die inside.

In olden days,
most of the men took your path;
but in this age many men
are now going the path of your fallen brother.

What you saw in the cloud
was a speeded up lifetime;
your brother lived many years in those moments
while you saw only a swirl of dust.
It was not so bad for him as you might imagine.

He lived a life that many in this forgetful age
would even say was a ‘good’ one.
But he was ruled ever by his passions.
In the end,
his body turned to dust,
for all his thoughts were dust.

He had forgotten not only the Great Spirit,
but his own spirit as well.
He contributed nothing of meaning to me,
to womankind,
or to the people of the plains.

*Unlike in the physical world,
there is no instrument to measure your soul’s resonance.
The only measure of resonance is your feelings.
For that, you have to look inside and do some introspection.
It requires a little effort but once you have found it,
it’s the most effortless state to be in.

Among the mundane activities,
these spikes of resonance are capable of igniting
the missing sparks in our lives
which makes this journey more enjoyable and fun.

For once it’s not about a means to an end anymore
as you are not YOU anymore,
you become what you are doing.

And in becoming something that you are meant to be,
you add a new dimension to your life
where every cell of your body fully participates
and hence RESONATES.

Life becomes a symphony whose music, words, and rhythm
are in sync with your SOUL.
This synchronization

AFTERNOON

Learning to Stay Quietly at Home

The silence of everyday life is an indispensable condition
for living with others.
Without the capacity for silence,
man is incapable of hearing, loving, and understanding
the people around him.

Charity is born of silence.
It proceeds from a silent heart that is able to hear,
to listen, and to welcome.

Silence and peace have one and the same heartbeat.

In the noise of everyday life
there is always a certain agitation that is stirred up in man.

Noise is never serene,
and it is not conducive to understanding another person.
How right Pascal was when he wrote in his Pensees,

"All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact,
that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber".

The Power of Silence
Robert Cardinal Sarah

The greatest things are accomplished in silence--
not in the clamor and display of superficial eventfulness,
but in the deep clarity of inner vision;
in the almost imperceptible start of decision,
in quiet overcoming and hidden sacrifice.
― Robert Sarah,
The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise

As Elizabeth Gilbert says in Big Magic,

“Making art does sometimes feel like
you’re holding a séance,
or like you’re calling out in the night
for a wild animal on the prowl.

What you’re doing seems impossible and even silly,
but then you hear the thunder of hooves,
and some beautiful beast comes rushing into the glade, searching for you
just as urgently as
you have been searching for it.”
Quoted here:

Charlotte Joko Beck - Observing

I have been asked,
“Isn’t observing a dualistic practice?
Because when we are observing,
something is observing something else.”

But in fact it’s not dualistic.
The observer is empty.

Instead of a separate observer,
we should say there is just observing.
There is no one that hears,
there is just hearing.
There is no one that sees,
there is just seeing.

But we don’t quite grasp that.

If we practice hard enough, however,
we learn that not only is the observer empty,
but that which is observed is also empty.
At this point the observer (or witness) collapses…

Why does the observer finally collapse?
When nothing sees nothing,
what do we have?
Just the wonder of life.

There is no one who is separated from anything.
There is just life living itself:
hearing, touching, seeing, smelling, thinking.
That is the state of love or compassion…

We don’t have to try to find it.
It’s our natural state when ego is absent.

PRIMORDIAL TOUCHSTONE
https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/primordial-touchstone-his-form-is-emptiness-you-must-dissolve-april-16-2019

Joan Tollifson - Do we have a choice?
No wave can ever go off in a direction
other than the one in which the whole ocean is moving.
We are all a movement of the whole,
not isolated agents capable of going the wrong way....

...But this gets very subtle.
It doesn’t mean becoming passive,
or picking up the belief that “I” have no free will,
that “I” am a helpless robot
being pushed around by the universe.
That belief is still centered
around the idea of a separate entity,
a self, now believed to be powerless.
That is delusion.

Our urges, interests, actions
—and our sense of choice--
are all part of how life functions and moves.
And we are not separate from,

Seven Advices - from Rumi

In generosity and helping others: be like the river.

In compassion and grace: be like the sun.

In concealing others’ faults: be like the night.

In anger and fury: be like the dead.

In modesty and humility: be like the soil.

In tolerance: be like the ocean.

BEING’S BEINGLESSNESS "Whatever he does, He does nothing." "Just this breath,..." April 15, 2019
Ctrl-click blue font above for that Post

how to become

To be empty, to feel empty,
is to live in the wasteland near the gates of death.
This is intolerable to the soul.

We were not meant to live such shallow lives.
Our heritage and our psychic makeup
are designed for an elaborate richness
of imagination and creativity that allows us
to feel intimately connected to the ongoing creation.

We were meant to drop below the surface of things
and to experience the depths of life
in the same ways that our deep-time ancestors did.

Their lives were filled with story, ritual,
and circles of sharing.
Their lives were not shamefully hidden away
but known-
losses, defeats, grief, pains,
joys, births, deaths, dreams, sorrows;
the communal draw of life
was open and acknowledged.

This is what the soul expected,
what it is we need today.

AFTERNOON

Sometimes as an antidote
To fear of death,
I eat the stars

Those nights, lying on my back,
I suck them from the quenching dark
Til they are all, all inside me,
Pepper hot and sharp.

Sometimes, instead, I stir myself
Into a universe still young,
Still warm as blood:
No outer space, just space,
The light of all the not yet stars
Drifting like a bright mist,
And all of us, and everything
Already there
But unconstrained by form.

And sometime it’s enough
To lie down here on earth
Beside our long ancestral bones:
To walk across the cobble fields
Of our discarded skulls,

Each like a treasure, like a chrysalis,
Thinking: whatever left these husks
Flew off on bright wings.
~Rebecca Elson
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/13/when-the-skies-are-bright/

We spend so much time
anticipating what will happen next that we miss
the whisper of Heaven that unfolds wherever we are.

Though I have known and survived
many forms of pain,
fear is the troll in my mind
that anticipates more.

And just as a loud noise prevents us
from finding the peace in the center of silence,
fear prevents us from finding
the inch of Heaven in the center
of whatever moment we are in.

Yet, no matter how much I’ve been through
and how much I’ve learned,
I can’t stop the wave of anticipation.
No one can.

It is part of being human.

~Mark Nepo
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/13/when-the-skies-are-bright/

Walk Totally Alone

We must always keep a distance
or some doubt regarding our belief systems,
and even all our divine experiences.

We do this by remaining absolutely true,
scathingly true,
to what we honestly know and experience ourselves.

We have to walk totally alone
and follow only the inner guide,
which guide is akin to common sense.
My own mother felt that common sense
was man's most divine faculty.

he temptation is to see our experiences
in the light of those who have gone before
– those on top of the pile, of course –
but in this way the same errors
are just passed down from
one generation to another.

Cosmic Breathing...

Sitting in the Silence of the Inner Landscape,
I suddenly realize
the Cosmic Breath of Infinity
is slowly breathing this body -
breathing in... breathing out...

Held in the pause between breaths -
I recognize that "I" am being breathed
by an unheard Rhythm...

From the Inner Window,
at the edge of Infinity
I see beyond this world,
into the formless void,
beyond moon and stars,
into the Infinite Cosmic Ocean
that holds it all...

Aware of what is aware within:
Life - breathing ITSelf...

Every Breath is the Primordial Breath
rippling through space...

Hush
Be Silent
Listen

Entrain with the Cosmic Rhythm
that is breathing you...

Slow down and breathe
the Infinite Breath -
that whispers...
All will be infinitely well...

AFTERNOON

Some of us are now learning to listen to
and maybe even converse with the elemental utterances
of things that don’t speak in words,
tuning our ears and our skin
to the discourse of countless
other-than-human beings:
each redwing blackbird or stormcloud
or naked chunk of sandstone
jostling with the rest of existence.
David Abram
Excerpt from:

Re: C-Virus

EXPERIENCING CORONAVIRUS AS AN INITIATION
INITIATIONS ARE NOT GENERAL,
but rather specific.

As I stated,
I think of every house in
lockdown as an alchemical hut.
Millions of them.
This enforced solitude is going to produce
many different responses.
Some will want to get back to life as it used to be,
some will make life-changing decisions,
and on it goes.

But no one,
whatever may be claimed,
can know what that is yet.

Because it’s going to
unfold in the secretive chamber of your heart,
not as a generalization.

It’s bespoke.

NO CHOICE
TRANSPARENT SILENCE OF ORIGIN

We are solitary.
We can delude ourselves about this
and act as if it were not true.
That is all.
But how much better it is to recognize
that we are alone;
yes, even to begin from this realization.
Rainer Maria Rilke

We have been put into life
as into the element we most accord with,
and we have, moreover, through thousands of years of adaptation, come to resemble this life so greatly
that when we hold still,
through a fortunate mimicry
we can hardly be differentiated
from everything around us.

We have no reason to harbour
any mistrust against our world,
for it is not against us.
If it has terrors, they are our terrors;
if it has abysses, these abysses belong to us;
if there are dangers, we must try to love them.

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.

How could we forget those ancient myths
that stand at the beginning of all races,
the myths about dragons that at the last moment
are transformed into princesses?
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses
who are only waiting to see us act,
just once,
with beauty and courage …

Rainer Maria Rilke

Paris, on the second day of Christmas 1908
It must be immense, this silence,
in which sounds and movements have room,
and if one thinks that along with all this
the presence of the distant sea also resounds,
perhaps as the innermost note in this prehistoric harmony,
then one can only wish
that you are trustingly and patiently
letting the magnificent solitude work upon you,
this solitude which can no longer
be erased from your life;
which, in everything that is in store
for you to experience and to do,
will act an anonymous influence,
continuously and gently decisive,
rather as the blood of our ancestors
incessantly moves in us and combines
with our own to form the unique,
unrepeatable being
that we are at every turning of our life.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Furuborg, Jonsered, Sweden, 4th November 1904
… just the wish that you may find in yourself enough patience to endure and enough simplicity to have faith; that you may gain more and more confidence in what is difficult and in your solitude among other people. And as for the rest, let life happen to you.
Believe me:
life is in the right, always.

—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

AFTERNOON

A man went for a walk one day.
As he walked,
he became aware that he was feeling lost and alone.

Rather than push the feelings away,
he allowed them to be present with him.
"I'm lost. I am all alone,"
he cried to himself.

A deep sadness arose within him.

Suddenly a voice arose from a deeper level.
"If you are lost, then where are you?"

It was the voice of his Being.
It was the voice of truth.

The man paused to consider the question.
"If I am lost, then where am I?" he asked aloud.
He sat down and as much as possible,
he became present with his feelings.

"I am lost. I am all alone!" he repeated several times.

Once again the voice of his Being gently challenged him.
"You say you are lost.
Then where are you?"

The man tried to see where he was.
Suddenly, it became clear to him.

"I am lost in my mind!" he cried.

It was so simple.
He was lost in his mind.
He was lost somewhere in his remembered past.
Or somewhere in his imagined future.

One thing was clear.
He was not here now.

He closed his eyes and became very still.
He became very aware of his body and his breath.
He became very aware of the sounds around him.
He could feel the soft caress
of the breeze upon his face.

He became silent.

He began to feel very present.

The feeling of being lost and alone disappeared.
He paused for a few moments in silent gratitude.
He opened his eyes
and his heart exploded with joy
as a bird soared into the sky.

When you have seen God
You meditate on Him,
Saying to yourself, "I am He."

But when you are without thought
And you understand there is only one,
Without a second,
On whom can you meditate?

Excerpt from:
Chapter 18 of
The Heart of Awareness-A Translation of the Ashtavakra Gita
Thomas Byrom
Quoted here:
https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/relief-sans-belief-he-looks-busy-but-he-does-nothing-the-teaching-of-my-soul-april-4-2019
(this above link has a typo...but clicking it gets you to April 14, 2019 where this quote is)

If you want to live a life of balance, try this:
Turn off the news for a while,
meditate, turn on Mozart,
walk through the forest or the mountains
and begin to make yourself a zone of peace.
Let go of the latest story.
Listen more deeply.

When we react to insecurity
with fear we worsen the problem--
we create a frightened society.
Instead we can use courage and compassion
to respond calmly with a fearless heart.
~Jack Kornfield
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/12/32123/

Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that allows the wheel to function.

We mold clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes the vessel useful.

We fashion wood for a house,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes it livable.

We work with the substantial,
but the emptiness is what we use.
Laozi Tao Te Ching 11

AFTERNOON

Teaching a Stone to Talk, excerpt
At a certain point you say to the woods,
to the sea, to the mountains, the world,
Now I am ready.
Now I will stop and be wholly attentive.

You empty yourself and wait, listening.
After a time you hear it:
there is nothing there.

There is nothing but those things only,
those created objects, discrete, growing or holding,
or swaying, being rained on or raining, held,
flooding or ebbing, standing, or spread.

You feel the world’s word as a tension,
a hum, a single chorused note
everywhere the same.

This is it: this hum is the silence.
Nature does not utter a peep - just this one.
The birds and insects,
the meadows and swamps and rivers
and stones and mountains and clouds:
they all do it;
they all don’t do it.

There is a vibrancy to the silence,
a suppression,
as if someone were gagging the world.

But you wait,
you give your life’s length to listening,
and nothing happens.
The ice rolls up, the ice rolls back,
and still that single note obtains.

The tension, or lack of it, is intolerable.
The silence is not actually suppression;
instead, it is all there is.
—Annie Dillard

Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until the fury has passed by.
. ~ Isaiah 26:20

The kingdom of God is not in the clouds,
in some designated point of space;
it is right behind the darkness
that you perceive with closed eyes.

AFTERNOON

The intersection of the macro universe
and the micro universe will create a gate,

This is also called the Middle Way.

HOLY FIRE
For that forty minutes last night
I was as purely sensitive and mute as a photographic plate;
I received impressions, but I did not print out captions.
My own self-awareness had disappeared;
it seems now almost as though, had I been wired to electrodes,
my EEG would have been flat.

I have done this sort of thing so often
that I have lost self-consciousness
about moving slowly and halting suddenly.
And I have often noticed that even a few minutes
of this self-forgetfulness is tremendously invigorating.

I wonder if we do not waste most of our energy
just by spending every waking minute
saying hello to ourselves.

Martin Buber quotes an old Hasid master who said,
“When you walk across the field
with your mind pure and holy,
then from all the stones, and all growing things,
and all animals, the sparks of their souls
come out and cling to you,
and then they are purified
and become a holy fire in you."
- Annie Dillard (1945 - )
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
http://tao-of-digital-photography.blogspot.com/2020/04/holy-fire.html

Holy Saturday

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope,
for hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
wait without love,
for love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith,
but the faith and the love are all in the waiting.

Wait without thought,
for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.

T.S. Eliot

Friend Rosemary's Granddaughter...Flying Lessons!

There is no insurmountable solitude.
All paths lead to the same goal:
to convey to others what we are.

And we must pass through solitude and difficulty,
isolation and silence
in order to reach forth to the enchanted place
where we can dance our clumsy dance
and sing our sorrowful song --

but in this dance or in this song
there are fulfilled the most ancient rites
of our conscience in the awareness
of being human and
of believing in a common destiny.
—Pablo Neruda

AFTERNOON

You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.

You need not even wait,

It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

It returns to the ocean.
This is death;
All deaths.
Your death and my death.
Returning to the Source,
What is there to fear?
Wu Hsin

In ancient times,
Before there were individuals,
There were no problems.
Then, the individuals
Turned this against that and
Problems arose.
Identification with a body is
Merely a habit
Taught to the child
Early in its life.
Breaking this habit is like
A chick breaking its shell.
What a wondrous world awaits.

AFTERNOON

The metaphor of the caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly come to my mind now, as so many of us around the world are sheltering in place in order to 'flatten the curve' of coronavirus impact in our communities.
This time of staying in our homes for days and weeks at a time feels analagous to spending time in a chrysalis—a place of transformation.
When we emerge from the chrysalis,
we will likely note that the world looks very different to caterpillars than butterflies.
We may notice that in the form of butterflies,
we have gained new perspective from a higher vantage point than we ever previously had as caterpillars.

First Breath

As soon as she is born—she,
he—the moment the newborn breathes
for the first time, taking, from the general
supply, some air, pulling it down
half her length, into the base of the
lobe which had first existed as a mattery
idea, and then had become the folded
lung, which lay in blue wait;

First Breath

as soon as the sky
is drawn in, like a
petal expanding, in fast motion,
opening into the new being--
oxygen, where it had never been,
taking the neonate’s bluish shade
back into the empyrean;

as soon as she’s taken the good of one breath,
and given back the rest—look,
she is dying. I mean she is living—for a time,
maybe ninety years—but she
is on her way, now, to that ending.
She had never died at all, until now,
never before been offered the human work.

—Sharon Olds

thee and me in all things.

I have been a wanderer long
In this world of transient things.
I have known the passing pleasures thereof.
As the rainbow is beautiful,
But soon vanishes into nothingness,
So have I known,
From the very foundation of the world,
The passing away of all things
Beautiful, joyous and pleasurable.

If thou wouldst concern thyself with the lasting,
With the eternal, with the indestructible,
With divinity, with immortality,
With wisdom which is the pool of Heaven,
If thou wouldst know of that everlasting Kingdom of Happiness,
If thou wouldst know of that Beauty that never fades or decays,
If thou wouldst know of that Truth that is imperishable and alone--
Then, O world,
Look deep within thyself

Thou hast been taught to seek Truth in the fleeting,
Thou hast been nourished by the transient things,
In these thou shalt never find that Happiness
For which thy soul doth seek and suffer.

So must thou establish thy hidden strength deep within thyself,
And play with the passing world.
As the swift-running river knows its source,
So must thou know thine own being.
As the soft blue lake whose depth no man knows,
So must thy depth be unfathomable.

If thou wouldst know thyself,
Thou must cut thyself free from this weed that binds thee,
That suffocates thee,
That destroys thy vision,
That kills thine affection,
That prevents thy thought.

As, suddenly, the robes of silence
Fall over the noisy world,
So, instantly, have I found Thee,
Deep in the heart of all things and in mine own.

On the mountain path
I sat on a rock,
And Thou wert beside me and in me,
All things being in Thee and in me.
Happy is the man that findeth Thee and me
In all things.

November 15 2012

In the light of the setting sun,
Through the delicate lace of a spring tree,
I beheld Thee.
In the twinkling stars
I beheld Thee.
In the swift passing bird,
Disappearing into the black mountain,
I beheld Thee.
—J. Krishnamurti

The Inward Sea

There is in every person an inward sea,
And in that sea there is an island
And on that island there is an altar
And standing guard before that altar is the
angel with the flaming sword.

Nothing can get by that angel to be placed upon that altar unless it has the mark of your inner authority.

Nothing passes 'the angel with the flaming sword' to be placed upon your altar
unless it be a part of
'the fluid area of your consent.

This is your crucial link with the Eternal.

There is something in every one of you
that waits and listens for
the sound of the genuine in yourself.

It is the only true guide you will ever have.
And if you cannot hear it,
you will all of your life spend your days
on the ends of strings
that somebody else pulls.
-- Howard Thurman

Gaia invites you to look deeper into the stories
you tell about the world and your place in it.
It is revolutionary when you recognize
the stories that drain you,
and learn to feed the ones that give you resilience;
when you put your trust in your own
direct experience of the divine,
and the unique and sometimes subtle
ways she guides you.

The hard thing when you get old is
to keep your horizons open.
The first part of your life everything is in front of you,
all your potential and promise.
But over the years, you make decisions,
you carve yourself into a given shape.
Then the challenge is to keep discovering
the green growing edge.
Howard Thurman

A bigot is a person who makes an idol of his commitments.
-- Howard Thurman

There is something in every one of you
that waits and listens
for the sound of the genuine in yourself.
It is the only true guide you will ever have.”
― Howard Thurman

I abandon all that I think I am,
all that I hope to be,
all that I believe I possess.

I let go of the past,
I withdraw my grasping hand from the future,
and in the great silence of this moment,
I alertly rest my soul.

Hokusai says

Hokusai says look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice.
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing.

He says look forward to getting old.
He says keep changing,
you just get more who you really are.
He says get stuck, accept it, repeat yourself
as long as it’s interesting.

He says keep doing what you love.
He says keep praying.
He says every one of us is a child,
every one of us is ancient,
every one of us has a body.
He says every one of us is frightened.
He says every one of us has to find a way to live with fear.

He says everything is alive--
shells, buildings, people, fish, mountains, trees.
Wood is alive.
Water is alive.
Everything has its own life.
Everything lives inside us.
He says live with the world inside you.

He says it doesn’t matter if you draw, or write books.
It doesn’t matter if you saw wood, or catch fish.
It doesn’t matter if you sit at home
and stare at the ants on your verandah or the shadows of the trees
and grasses in your garden.

It matters that you care.
It matters that you feel.
It matters that you notice.
It matters that life lives through you.

Harbour Island, Bahama Beach...April 7, 2019

Contentment is life living through you.
Joy is life living through you.
Satisfaction and strength
are life living through you.
Peace is life living through you.

He says don’t be afraid.
Don’t be afraid.
Look, feel, let life take you by the hand.
Let life live through you.

AFTERNOON

A Few Words On The Soul

We have a soul at times.
No one’s got it non-stop,
for keeps.

Day after day,
year after year
may pass without it.

Sometimes
it will settle for awhile
only in childhood’s fears and raptures.
Sometimes only in astonishment
that we are old.

It rarely lends a hand
in uphill tasks,
like moving furniture,
or lifting luggage,
or going miles in shoes that pinch.

It usually steps out
whenever meat needs chopping
or forms have to be filled.

For every thousand conversations
it participates in one,
if even that,
since it prefers silence.

Just when our body goes from ache to pain,
it slips off-duty.

It’s picky:
it doesn’t like seeing us in crowds,
our hustling for a dubious advantage
and creaky machinations make it sick.

Joy and sorrow
aren’t two different feelings for it.
It attends us
only when the two are joined.

We can count on it
when we’re sure of nothing
and curious about everything.

Among the material objects
it favors clocks with pendulums
and mirrors, which keep on working
even when no one is looking.

It won’t say where it comes from
or when it’s taking off again,
though it’s clearly expecting such questions.

We need it
but apparently
it needs us
for some reason too.

AFTERNOON

THE COURAGE TO DIE

Enter space, supportless, eternal, still.
That space has no beginning, no end.
And that space is absolutely soundless.
There is nothing
– not even a sound vibrating,
not even a ripple.
Everything is still.

That point is just within you.
Any moment you can enter it.
If you have the courage to be supportless,
this very moment you can enter it.
The door is open.

The invitation is for all, all and everyone.
But courage is needed;
courage to be alone,
courage to be empty,
courage to dissolve and melt,
courage to die.

And if you can die within to your inner space,
you will attain to the life which never dies,
you will attain to amrit,
to immortality.
-Osho

The Book of Secrets, Discourse 79
(This is the last technique Osho gives in The Book of Secrets)
. https://o-meditation.com/2020/04/05/the-last-technique-osho/

If you really want to express the truth,
don’t say anything about it,
just leave the gap.
Let people hear without your saying anything.
That’s the only way truth has always been transferred —
from one silent heart to another silent heart.

In utter silence is the only possibility to meet, to merge, to share.

Silence is all that is needed,
and everything else follows on its own accord.
OSHO
http://eddymumu.blogspot.com/2012/02/osho-quotes-on-silence.html

The Love Dimension

"The Love dimension is known by different names:
Truth, Reality, God, Immensity, the Infinite, Intelligence etc.
The very meaning of the words which define it
express the fact that this dimension has no bounds.

In this dimension, no faiths, ideals, desires
or any such similar ideas can exist,
as they are encountered in the limited dimension.
For this reason, in this wondrous climate
there is no struggle, contradictions, confusion, pain, hate etc.

Boundlessness cannot be comprehended
by imagination or by thought;
there is nothing we can say about it.
We can only describe and explain
that which our mind can encompass.
In the face of Limitlessness,
the mind is poor,
completely unable to understand it.

In fact,
the moment Immensity affirms itself within us,
as a living state of the integral human being,
the “ego” dimension and its limited way of expression
does not exist anymore.

There is not much we can say
about the experience of living in the dimension of Love.
Nevertheless, we will try to express
certain feelings and states of being
encountered in this state.

In complete union with Love,
we are perfect peace,
we live total freedom;
the very notion of “self” is missing,
although we are endowed
with a clarity and sensitivity of the mind
such as we have never encountered
in the limited realm of thinking.

By melting with silence, we become that silence,
equilibrium and harmony, free from duality:
our being is extended into Infinity.
Practically, by experiencing “psychological nothingness”,
the “ego” disappears and, in its place,
Immensity envelops us wholly
and we become one with It.
Integrated into the Great Cosmic Energy,
we continue to exist
as a state of superconsciousness.

Weapons cannot cut It,
nor can fire burn It,
water cannot wet It,
nor can wind dry It.
~Bhagavad Gita
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/04/32066/

REGARDING THE ETERNAL NATURE OF THE SOUL.....
SEE:
https://www.esamskriti.com/e/Spirituality/Bhagavad-Gita/Bhagavad-Gita~-Chapter-2-(Part~3)-Saankhya-Yogah-~-Yoga-Of-Knowledge-1.aspx

Feeling Nature’s rhythms,
participating in her ever-cycling birth and growth,
death and rebirth,
we’re reminded that change
is also always happening in us-
in our inner world of thoughts and feelings,
organs and cells.
In Nature we may feel
- without effort or warning-
that trauma’s burdens are slipping
from our shoulders.

We know then in our bones
the truth that the studies tell us:
that Nature relaxes and focuses us.
Bending to Nature,
bonding with her,
we are pulled out of trauma’s doomed loop,
back into the ordinary,
ever-flowing current of life
and of our lives,
of life and death and rebirth.
~James Gordon
