...."Perfect Silence.... Sunrise/Afternoon May 5, 2015

"When I heard the learn'd astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures,
were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars."
Walt Whitman

PULL AWAY INTO ME, DEAR HEART…
.ALWAYS THE SOLUTION TO ANY HEAVINESS OR PUZZLEMENT.
ESPECIALLY NOW,
THE HOLY QUIET WILL ENABLE MY WORK TO TAKE PLACE MORE QUICKLY…
AT THE SAME TIME IT WILL NOURISH YOU
DURING THESE VERY LEAN TIMES…

THE EGO DRAGS A SOUL ALL ABOUT…
DRAINING THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL BODIES,
UNTIL THE BEING COLLAPSES ONCE AGAIN…
AND EACH TIME INTO MORE PERFECT GRACE
WHERE ALL VEILS ARE REMOVED

Words from that which is “older than God”*
*#4 Tao

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.
Because for those who love with heart and soul
there is no such thing as separation.

—Rumi

There were strong winds and hours of flood rains all morning until late afternoon today.
The above photos
.... of water standing around small fruit trees and in the old garden lot..
.were taken three hours after the rains stopped and after i returned from the afternoon beach.
Much of the water had already seeped into the ground.

Attain utmost emptiness.
Abide in steadfast stillness.

Returning to the source is stillness.
It is returning to one's fate.
Returning to one's fate is eternal.
Knowledge of the eternal is realization.

The Way is eternal.
Until your last day, you are free from peril.

Excerpts from #16
Tao Te Ching
Lao Tzu
http://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-16.htm

Living in the present,
indifferent to what imprint it might make on the future,
is to remain with Tao.
That calms the mind and invigorates the body.
Also, it keeps us out of unnecessary trouble or hardship.

mooning melts the night

a moment arrives
without a need of the past
the full moon rises

a thought bubbles up
a preference is posited
the moon doesn’t mind

the bubble bursts, pop!
awareness has no center
mooning melts the night

In the Garden of The Beloved
May 2, 2015

I was not a good little boy.
If there is a Divine Mother,
Her ankles are scarred,
With inumerable bite marks.

Not the brightest of Her children,
But full of Sincerity and Longing,
I alternated between sorrow and rage.

I confess, my path was strange;
Kicking, screaming, biting,
And holding my breath...

In the faint hope of gaining Her attention.

I wandered for many long years,
Through the confusion of "beliefs", and paths,
With each, falling ever more deeply into Despair.

I read of Heaven's glory,
Of Nirvana's Inexpressible sublimity,
Of "enlightenment", and "awakening"...

But Longed only for Love.

I read of doing this and not doing that,
And the use of will and discipline,
In practice and renunciation.

All of which broke my Heart,
And none of which I ever pursued.
For I knew, somehow, that what I sought...

Was Causeless Grace.

Neither created in conditionality,
Nor sustained through effort,
Nor dependent...

On anything whatsoever.

Do not deride, you who struggle and strive,
Saying I make excuses for laziness,
And hide in the delusional dream...

Of a delusional man.

For you simply do not understand.

How Unimaginable it was,
Given all I had read, heard, and seen,
That crying out one day in the Fullness of Heart...

"How could You be so cruel?!"...

She gave me... Everything.

Not a perfected personality,
Not a life free of suffering,
But Her Presence Always...

In my Heart... the Garden of The Beloved.

Be incorrigible!
Cry out! Scream and Bite!
Then fall Helpless at Her feet...

And never rise.

If you are like this Prisoner of Love,
There will be no choice in the matter,
For even when Hope and Faith turn to dust...

Longing... will... endure.

This is the path I travelled,
And the Destination, Unlocatable,
In which I rest.

Unbearable Longing...

Unbearable Fulfillment.

The sky may be stormy, but you do have friends up there.
They may be invisible,
but they are as real as the silent wind that enables birds to fly.
As long as you place your trust in the existence of a compassionate universe, you’ll be protected.
http://boothstars.com/category/capricorn/

Heaping scorn on every little problem that befalls
you will only attract more problems.
Think of a certain recent irksome development
as the best thing that could ever have happened to you.
You’ll soon find that your positive thoughts come true.

The original and eternal state of ours can no more be described
than can the state of deep sleep.
What spills over into the description is the sense of peace and contentment,
but the state itself cannot be defined.
Beyond merely pointing at it,
words can only turn into silence.
Ramesh S. Balsekar
A Net of Jewels
April 29

Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas.
It is true that every dogma crumbles sooner or later,
because reality will eventually disclose its falseness;
however, unless the basic delusion of it is seen for what it is,
it will be replaced by others.

What is this basic delusion?
Identification with thought.
Eckhart Tolle
Stillness Speaks
p. 7 below
here is the entire book
http://www.happierabroad.com/StillnessSpeaks.pdf

Suffering begins when you mentally name or label
a situation in some way as undesirable or bad.
You resent a situation and that resentment personalizes it
and brings in the reactive me.
Naming and labeling are habitual but that habit can be broken.
Start practicing not naming with small things.
If you miss the plane, drop and break a cup, or slip and fall in the mud, can you refrain from naming the experience as bad or painful?
Can you immediately accept the “isness” of that moment?
Naming something as bad causes an emotional contraction within you.
When you let it be without naming it, enormous power is suddenly available to you. The contraction cuts you off from that power, the power of life itself.

Eckhart Tolle
Stillness Speaks
pp 40-41

This is the miracle.
Behind every condition, person or situation
that appears bad or evil,
lies concealed a deeper good.
That deeper good reveals itself to you, both within and without
through inner acceptance of what is.
“Resist not evil”
is one of the highest truths of humanity.

Eckhart Tolle
Stillness Speaks
pp 41-42

"Love is Not a Technique" Afternoon May 1, 2015

5/1/2015

The soul that is attached to anything how ever much good there may be in it,
will not arrive at the liberty of divine union.
For whether it be a strong wire rope
or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird,
it matters not, if it really holds it fast;
for, until the cord be broken the bird cannot fly
~ St. John of the Cross

There was no sunrise to photograph this morning
as a long and strong, much-needed downpour of rain was upon us.
By mid afternoon the bucket of cistern water was further fulled by the rain
and these tadpoles who had been living in the tank are swimming happily in the bucket. Banana trees seemed to have grown inches in this rain.

Nature is balancing...how could i really "miss" the sunrise,
when i can fly with Mother Nature's Rhythms?.

AND to have returned late afternoon from the below beach & path scenes....
<
"Divine Union" does not depend upon a particular technique or person, place or thing..
dmm

‘It is very easy if you love.
Don't ask “how,”
because ‘how’ means you are asking for a method, a methodology, a technique
–and love is not a technique.’
OSHO
