You have been trained since infancy
to direct your attention to what is temporary.
Had anyone before revealed the Permanent to you,
there would be no need to sit with Wu Hsin.

Most people don’t sit because they are afraid of what is revealed.

The individuals fear that they will lose their individuality, their identity.
One could say that the love of Being
is not yet greater than the love of being somebody ...
… or it could be said
that the fear of the not yet known
is far greater than the distaste for the known.

Either way, “I’ll pay any price” is suddenly shown to be a hollow offer.

When you become clear that you are not this body,
but that it is your instrument,
then worries about death dissolve.

In essence, death dies.

–Wu Hsin
http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/2015/07/you-know.html

The Life-Energy and
Awareness arrive.
In due course,
The instrument’s purpose is fulfilled
The Life-Energy and
Awareness depart.
The cycle is completed.
Understand this thoroughly and
There is nothing else to do.

–Wu Hsin
http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/2015/06/cycle.html

Returning to the Source from where one emanates,
No death can be found.

Much needed rain at sunrise this morning...photos are view from oceanside porch...just prior the the big rain.

Sit and be still

until in the time
of no rain you hear

beneath the dry wind's
commotion in the trees

the sound of flowing
water among the rocks,

a stream unheard before,

and you are where
breathing is prayer.
–Wendell Berry
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/location_27.html

a voice out of this world
calls on our souls
not to wait any more
get ready to move
to the original home

your real home
your real birth place
is up here with the heavens
let your soul take a flight
like a happy phoenix

you've been tied up
your feet in the mud
your body roped to a log
break loose your ties
get ready for the final flight

make your last journey
from this strange world
soar for the heights
where there is no more
separation of you and your home

God has created
your wings not to be dormant
as long as you are alive
you must try more and more
to use your wings to show you're alive

these wings of yours
are filled with quests and hopes
if they are not used
they will wither away
they will soon decay

you may not like
what i'm going to tell you
you are stuck
now you must seek
nothing but the source

–Rumi
Ghazal 945
Nader Khalili translation
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/wings.html

Photo-Backyard Pet 7/18/15

An ant hurries along a threshing floor
with its wheat grain, moving between huge stacks
of wheat, not knowing the abundance
all around. It thinks its one grain
is all there is to love.

So we choose a tiny seed to be devoted to.
This body, one path or one teacher.
Look wider and farther.
The essence of every human being can see,
and what that essence-eye takes in,
the being becomes. Saturn. Solomon!

The ocean pours through a jar,
and you might say it swims inside
the fish!

This mystery gives peace to
your longing
and makes the road home home.
–Rumi
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-mystery.html

Run, my dear,
from anything that may not strengthen
your precious budding wings,

Run like hell, my dear,
from anyone likely
to put a sharp knife into the sacred,
tender vision of your beautiful heart.

We have a duty to befriend those aspects
of obedience that stand outside
of our house and shout to our reason
"oh please, oh please come out and play!"

For we have not come here to take prisoners,
or to confine our wondrous spirits,
But to experience ever and ever more deeply
our divine courage, freedom, and Light.
–Hafiz
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/run.html

You imagine it is something
somewhere high in the sky, far away,
and has to descend.

It is really inside you,
in your Heart,
and the moment you effect subsidence
or merger of the mind into its Source,
grace rushes forth,
sprouting as from a spring within you.

To return to that
Which is prior to this and that,
Requires the undoing of oneself.
Yet, it is the very same one
Who cannot do this
Anymore than
The teeth can bite themselves.
As such, if the undoing is to occur,
It occurs of its own accord;
All seeming effort
At the undoing is
A mere illusion.
Problems are created when
The impersonal is made personal.
When an event becomes,
An experience,
Trouble ensues.

Wanting life to be
Other than it is is like
Wanting a river to
Flow uphill or
A cat to bark
Wu Hsin

There is nothing about knowledge that
Direct experience cannot cure.
Stop trying to be anything, then
See what happens.
Wu Hsin

All that exists is the seedling
From which emerges
All that exists.
Wu Hsin

Open the eyes;
Seeing happens.
There is nothing else
To be done.
Who is it who claims
''I saw''?

To end strife,
One must end opposition,
The root of which is mind.
Right and wrong,
Good and bad,
Past and future,
Joy and sorrow,
Desire and aversion are all
Created by this thought factory.
Taking the attention away from mind is
A movement toward peace.

The cloud has no destination
Which it must reach.
It is purposeless.
In much the same way,
When there is no longer
A sense of worry,
A concern for what comes next,
One can walk without
Needing to arrive.

"Perfuming" when amongst those who are fearful
Far East Masters….(Spalding) warned re: being amongst people/tribes

It is dangerous to be amongst them…for them and Ones who Are Love.

"Evershining" when amongst those who Remember Love

Stillness is not the absence of thought.

Follow the order of What-Is, they

Having arrived at the root,
They are never confused by the branches.

In reality there is only the source, dark in itself,
making everything shine.
Unperceived, it causes perception.
Unfelt, it causes feeling.
Unthinkable, it causes thought.
Non-being, it gives birth to being.

It is the immovable background of motion.
Once you are there,
you are at home everywhere.
–Nisargadatta Maharaj

http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/there-is-only-source.html

A common misconception is
The belief that thinking is
The creation of thought.
Rather, it is
The reception of thought from
A source which has no name and
From a place that cannot be found.
Since one can't decide to think
Nor can one decide
Thoughts' contents,
Why does one
Claim their ownership?
Is every sound Wu Hsin's because
He can hear them?

Though I have no shoes
Dance with me

Of the carry-on days –
Then spin me around
So our feet leave the ground
And there is only the sound
Of the beat of our hearts.

Dance with me
For no-one can see
My feet are unshod
So that I can fly
And be closer to God.

The Book of Nothing

Change your ways of feeling and thinking,
take stock of them and examine them closely.
You are in bondage by inadvertence.

Attention liberates.
You are taking so many things for granted.

Begin to question. The most obvious things are the most doubtful.
Ask yourself such questions as:

‘Was I really born?
‘Am I really so-and-so?’
‘How do I know that I exist?
‘Who are my parents?’
‘Have they created me, or have I created them?’
‘Must I believe all I am told about myself?’
‘Who am I, anyhow?’.

You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself.
Now spend as much on demolishing it.
In fact, demolition is easy,
for the false dissolves when it is discovered.

Prevent Altruistic Suicide Sunrise/Afternoon July 19, 2015

LIVING SILENCE PREVENTS ALTRUISTIC SUICIDE
ew
5:18 AM - 7/19/15

ALTRUISTIC SUICIDE

It is difficult and anxiety-provoking to change what one is doing,
to change or reinvent one’s way of interacting with others;
powerful forces from within and without tend to restrain change,
and so most of us keep up the way of life that has been slowly “doing us in”.

Therefore, we become sick, and it is usually with some measure of surprise.

It is still an unsolved question why the sickness is “physical” for some and “psychiatric” for others.

I am coming to suspect that those who are often physically ill
are people who commit “altruistic suicide” by slow degrees.
They are slowly destroying their bodies,
as it were, for the preservation of their roles and the social systems
in which they regularly participate.
They are victims of their sense of duty.

The psychiatrically ill seem to resemble rebels without courage or effectiveness.

Being sick is a temporary respite from the dispiriting conditions of our existence up to the onset of illness.

Incidentally, if it seems to a patient that his usual life,
the one that made him sick, cannot be changed,
he may never get well.

Why should he?

Or if he does recover but then resumes his usual life,
he’ll be sick again before long.

As he leaves the hospital, we could safely say, and mean it, “Hurry back”.

From
The Transparent Self
Sidney Jourard

Sit quietly, and listen for a voice that will say: “Be more silent.”

Die and be quiet.

Quietness is the surest sign that you’ve died.

Your old life was a frantic running from silence.
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.

Live in silence.

–Rumi
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/be-quiet_18.html

Having had several teachers in my life,
I held fast to one above all others,
My own Heart,
And the Unbearable Longing,
That Shone there, unrelenting.

It was into and as that Longing
That "I" eventually Vanished.
And in that Vanishing,
Both Lover and Beloved Disappeared,
Leaving only Causeless, Unconditional, Love.

I do not understand the mystery of grace –
only that it meets us where we are
and does not leave us where it found us.

—Anne Lamott
http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-mystery-of-grace.html

Where is surrendered trust to be found?

Look not behind you, lest you define yourself by dreams that once existed.
Look not forward, lest you abandon the moment in your goal-oriented haste.
For it is in the moment,
intimately experienced through the eyes of a child,
that it is found.
Almine

You need not do anything
. Remain sitting at your table and listen.

You need not even listen, just wait.

You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet,
still and solitary.

And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.
It has no choice,
it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
–Franz Kafka
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/be-quiet.html

I Am a Pause

Between going and staying the day wavers,
in love with its own transparency.
The circular afternoon is now a bay
where the world in stillness rocks.

All is visible and all elusive,
all is near and can’t be touched.

Paper, book, pencil, glass,
rest in the shade of their names.

Time throbbing in my temples repeats
the same unchanging syllable of blood.

The light turns the indifferent wall
into a ghostly theater of reflections.

I find myself in the middle of an eye,
watching myself in its blank stare.

The moment scatters.

Motionless,
I stay and go: I am a pause.

–Octavio Paz
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-am-pause.html

There is a voice that doesn’t use words.

Listen.

Life is like music for its own sake.

We are living in an eternal now,

Past thoughts into silence.

Past silence into stillness.
Past stillness into the heart.

Let love consume all that is left of you.
–Kabir

We know that many of you are experiencing moments
in which you become disoriented and confused.
You shake your head, realize you are back in physical form
and are puzzled by what just happened.
This puzzling experience is happening to more and more individuals.

You are actually moving between dimensions.
You are beginning to catch a brief glimpse or vision of other worlds or realities.
This is the process of conscious evolution.

This shifting from one reality or another can and does affect your physical form,
so be aware, take care and be kind to yourself.
Rest, drink water, eat healthy, be in nature
and shift your thoughts and emotions as often as needed
to stay in a place of coherence.

“All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit
is to stop seeking something more or better or different,
and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.”
~ Adyashanti

Let your beauty manifest itself without talking and calculation.
You are silent.
It says for you: I am.
And in comes meaning thousandfold,
comes at long last over everyone.
–Rainer Maria Rilke

Fathomed at last!
Ocean's dried. Void burst.
Without an obstacle in sight,
It's everywhere!

           -    Joho, 12th Century
                  Zen Poems of China and Japan, 1973, p. 15
                  Translated by Lucien Stryk, Takashi Ikemoto and Taigan Takayama

Enlightenment is basically not a tree,
                                              And the clear mirror is not a stand.
                                              Fundamentally there is not a single thing -
                                              Where can dust collect.

                                                                  -   Huineng, Sixth Zen Patriarch in China, 638-713

Two come about because of One,
                         but don't cling to the One either!
                         So long as the mind does not stir,
                         the ten thousand things stay blameless;
                         no blame, no phenomena,
                         no stirring, no mind.

The viewer disappears along with the scene,
                         the scene follows the viewer into oblivion,
                         for scene becomes scene only through the viewer,
                         viewer becomes viewer because of the scene.

                                            -    Seng-ts'an, 600

                               An explosive shout cracks the great empty sky.
                                Immediately clear self-understanding.
                                Swallow up buddhas and ancestors of the past.
                                Without following others, realize complete penetration.

“If your mind is happy then you are happy anywhere you go.
When wisdom awakens within you, you will see Truth wherever you look.
Truth is all there is.
It’s like when you learned how to read,
you can then read anywhere you go.”
~ Ajahn Chah

“Breathing in, I calm body and mind.
Breathing out, I smile.
Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.”

He looked from the world of matter — into that Depth,
from which all the material was manifested:
into the world of the Divine Light

Great Transparent Calm.

http://parables-of-masters-en.blogspot.com/

(Read AFTER ew "Womb Breath" Whisper above Happened)

When The Beloved and I were in the Dance of Flirtation,
Before Her Embrace, and Lingering Perfume...

Even then I found, to my Great Delight,
That I could do no wrong,

In the stance I held in Loving Relationship,
Whatever that stance might be.

And now that She is the Gardener of my Soul,
Having taken up Residence in the Heart...

I find, still, to my Great Delight,
That I can do no wrong.

For She neither increases, nor diminishes,
Whichever stance I might take in Loving Her,

Each Way proving Beautiful and Fruitful,
However varied in their natures.

Standing here, I am Her Lover,
And She, my Beloved.

Standing here, I am Her Child,
And She, my Loving Mother.

Standing here, I am Her Friend,
And She, my Wise Counsel.

Standing here, I Vanish,
Into Her… as Her…

And standing here…
Both She and I Disappear,

Leaving only that which Shines,
Before ever “we” existed.

And although some decry the possibility,
I find it to be so, again and again...

That in whatever state I find myself,
Deemed "good" or "bad" by the scriptures...

She is there.

What Love, what Grace is this,
Unconditional, Unimaginable.

Oh, wearying debaters of “truth”,
Let all be Free to Celebrate their Love,

All stances being "true", in their way,
All… merely… a Dance of Apparitions.

The Illumination of the Heart,
Is not born of the Way in which we Love...

But through the Mystical Alchemy,
Of Love, Itself.

They try to say what you are, spiritual or sexual?

All you need is to understand is that you are the source of reality,
that you give reality instead of getting it,
that you need no support and no confirmation.

Things are as they are because you accept them as they are.

You can’t talk about the ocean
with a frog who lives in a well:
he is bounded by the space he inhabits.

You can’t talk about ice
with an insect who was born in June:
he is bounded by a single season.

You can’t talk about the Tao
with a person who thinks he knows something:
he is bounded by his own belief.

The Tao is vast and fathomless.
You can understand only by stepping
beyond the limits of yourself.

COMMENTARY

You can talk about the ocean with a frog who lives in a well,
but the conversation will be rather one-sided.

Eventually you realize that the only reason you’ve been talking
is that you love the sound of your own voice.

“Let me tell you about the ocean. It’s vast. It’s deep.”
“Huh?

“You can sail across it for days, for weeks and never come to the end.”
“Yea. Right.”

“It contains trillions of quadrillions of living creatures,
from the microscopic to the gargantuan.”
“I have a few lily pads here. Flies and mosquitoes.”

“The ocean is so deep that fish living far down generate their own light.”
“What do you mean by ‘fish’?”

You have traveled up ten thousand steps in search of the Dharma.
So many long days in the archives, copying, copying.

The gravity of the Tang and the profundity of the Sung
make heavy baggage.

Here! I have picked you a bunch of wildflowers.
Their meaning is the same
but they are much easier to carry.
–Xu Yun

It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly.
Learn to do everything lightly.

Yes, feel lightly
even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and
lightly cope with them.

I was so preposterously serious in those days,
such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.

When it comes to dying even.
Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona
putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.

So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you,
sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear
and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.

Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered.

–Aldous Huxley

Give up wanting to be important;
let your footsteps leave no trace.

Travel alone as the Tao
to the land of the great silence.

If a man is crossing a river
and an empty boat
collides with his own boat,
he won’t get offended or angry,
however hot-tempered he may be.

But if the boat is manned,
he may flare up, shouting and cursing,
just because there’s a rower.

Realize that all boats are empty
as you cross the river of the world,
and nothing can possibly offend you.

COMMENTARY

When you understand how utterly alone you are,
it’s a cause for celebration.

Break out the caviar and champagne!
Le roi est mort, vivre le roi!

If everyone is your projection in the first place
--if you see not them but who you think they are--
how can you be offended?

Scene: a river.
You’re drifting along in your little boat,
happy as a minnow,
and suddenly
some jerk bangs into your boat, full force.

But when you look, it’s an empty boat.
Since there’s no offender, naturally there’s no offense.

–“You mean that the woman who broke my heart,
or my backstabbing colleague,
or the politicians who got us into this mess,
they’re all empty boats?” –

“Yes, indeed.”

This has nothing to do with taking
the right action against greed or stupidity.

But if you’re offended,
it means that you’re not paying attention.

Thought for the Day
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

« The aim of spiritual life is to lead us to a higher state of consciousness
we call divine love.
For, true love, the kind that draws us closer to God,
is a state of consciousness.
It is impossible to describe it,
nor can it be explained to those who are not ready to experience it;
all we can do is try to lead them to it gradually.

Those who attain this state of consciousness
feel inwardly linked to the whole universe.
They are then like an instrument,
the cords of which vibrate in unison with all that exists.

They are inhabited by a deep sense of peace,
and above all they feel immense benevolence towards all beings.
They do not know why they feel so well-disposed towards them.
They simply sense that these feelings have entered their heart and soul,
causing them to behave with kindness and understanding,
and that they are connecting with the deep essence of creation. »
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

The ancient Masters looked ordinary,
but their wisdom was profound.

They didn’t deviate from the truth.
The clever couldn’t persuade them,
the beautiful couldn’t seduce them,
the rich couldn’t corrupt them.

They considered life and death
to be insignificant matters.

Unhindered, their minds could soar
to the edges of the unknown,
beyond time and space, and plunge
past the beginning and the end.

They could take the most menial positions
and find contentment in their work.

Their virtue filled earth and heaven.
The more they gave to themselves,
the more they could give to others.

The more they gave to others,
the more they had for themselves.

COMMENTARY

You never knew when you’d bump into one of them.
You might be in a public toilet and there he was,
scrubbing the floor,
humming to himself with a little smile.

Or you’d be buying a piece of salmon at the market,
and the fat old woman behind the counter
would ask an ungraspable question
that would resonate inside you for days.

Or you’d sit down next to a beggar on the street,
one of the lost apparently,
his wrinkles caked with grime,
and when he looked into your eyes,
you’d feel penetrated to the core.

The ancient Masters had no word for compassion.
They wouldn’t have understood it,
because they didn’t harbor concepts of “self” and “other.”

The more they gave to others,
the more they had for themselves.

Things are the way they are
because we think they’re that way.

Good or bad,
acceptable or unacceptable,
they conform to the way we see them.

Originally, in themselves,
all things are good and acceptable.

That is why all things—a blade
of grass or a hundred-foot pine,
a leper or a legendary beauty,
a national hero or a traitor---
are equal in the Tao.

None is more important
or more valued than any others.
Their difference is their completeness.

Only the person of true vision
can recognize them as equal.

He sees past his own judgments,
doesn’t think more or less,
and accepts without even trying to.

This is called “honoring the Tao.”

The Second Book of The Tao
Compiled and adapted
from the
Chuang-tze and the Chung Yung,

COMMENTARY

“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.”
This one liberating truth can be said in a hundred ways.
Each goes to the root of the matter.

What happens when we realize that the world appears according to our perception of it?
For one thing, we don’t take our judgments so seriously.
The judging I begins to unravel.

Eventually, we discover that everything exists in itself,
beyond comparison, beyond judgments,
as it did for God on the evening of the sixth day:
“Behold, it is very good.

When we look at creatures from this point of vision,
it’s easy to see that a blade of grass is as important as a pine tree,
a minnow as valued as a whale.
Size and complexity have nothing to do with it.
Evolution doesn’t mean progress.
Which is more conscious,
the butterfly or the flowers?

The Master sees that we’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve been given.
Realizing this, he doesn’t expect anything of anyone.
Thus as he honors himself,
he naturally honors the Tao.

Whereas awareness is the eternal potential
Consciousness is the eternal actual.

Consciousness is the surface;
Awareness is the limitless ocean.

Consciousness is the guide for the journey
Through the known and into The unknown.

Aspects of a unified whole.

The Secret

Since I am
Somebody's dream,
I have a good life.

Sometimes I go away in my sailboat on a cloud
and take a quiet little trip.

I have a secret
which I have learned how to read inside myself;
if I told it to you,
it would make you laugh.

My heart is naked
and no one can put clothes on it,
and nothing can be put on
that will not immediately fall off.

My secret is ignorant,
it doesn't sing songs,
no lie,
it has nothing to tell you.

My two eyes
are maps of the planet -
I see everything
and nothing upsets me.

Just now
I was in China
and saw there a great piece of happiness
that belonged to one man.

And I have been to the center of the earth,
where there is no suffering.

If on your loneliest nights,
I visit other planets
and the most secret stars of all,

besides being no one,
know that I am you
and everybody.

But if I go away
without giving you a name to remember me with,
how will I find
the right dream to return to?

You won't have to mark down
on your calendar that I am coming back;
don't bother to write me into your notebooks.
I will be around
when you aren't thinking about me,

without hair or a neck,
without a nose and cheeks
no reputation -
there won't be anything.

I am a bird
which God made.

–Thomas Merton
