"IDIOTIC GENTLENESS" Sunrise/Afternoon August 8, 2015

I am not referring to the simple-minded.
The desirable thing is to be intelligent
and not to understand.
It is a strange blessing,
like experiencing madness without being insane.
It is quiet indifference,
and idiotic gentleness.
Clarice Lispector
quoted by Jack Haas-The Way of Wonder p. 165

Do not search for the truth; only cease to hold opinions.
Do not remain in the dualistic state; avoid such pursuits carefully.
If there is a trace of this and that, the right and wrong,
the Mind-essence will be lost in confusion.

Although all dualities come from the One,
do not be attached even to this One.
When mind exists undisturbed in the Way,
nothing in the world can offend,
and when a thing can no longer offend
it ceases to exist in the old way.
When no discriminating thoughts arise,
the old mind ceases to exist.
Hsin Hsin Ming
http://www.deeshan.com/sosan.htm

….help the mind to calm down,
lose its speed, come back to earth.
Become a perfect idiot!
If you become a perfect idiot,
you have attained,
and there is nothing more to attain.
One simply enjoys!
Logic is not needed, reason is not needed;
mathematics is not needed,
so why be bothered about intelligence?

OSHO
http://www.osholeela.com/tao/taosho3.html

Heaven and Earth are impartial;
they treat all of creation as straw dogs.
The Master doesn't take sides;
she treats everyone like a straw dog.

The space between Heaven and Earth is like a bellows;
it is empty, yet has not lost its power.
The more it is used, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you comprehend.

It is better not to speak of things you do not understand.

–Lao Tzu
from the Tao Te Ching

"Born from the wind...." "Bid Farewell Continually" Sunrise/Afternoon August 7, 2015

ONE EVENTUALLY REALIZES A SOUL IS CONTENT
WITHOUT A MINDING MIND.

COULD IT BE THIS SIMPLE?
YES

The wind blows where it likes: that is what
Everyone is like who is born from the wind.

Oh now it's getting serious.
We want to be those
Born from the wind that blows along the plains
And over the sea where no one has a home.

And that Upsetting Rabbi, didn't he say:
"Take nothing with you, no blanket, no bread.
When evening comes, sleep wherever you are.

And if the owners say no, shake out the dust
From your sandals; leave the dust on their doorstep."

Don't hope for what will never come.
Give up hope,
Dear friends, the joists of life are laid on the winds.
–Robert Bly
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-poem-for-giambattista-vico-excerpt.html

VERY Large bird making its usual Glide exactly at sunrise most everyday....

As every flower fades, so with all youth
And age brings different flowers at each stage of life,
Blooms each and every virtue and wisdom
In their time, and may not last forever.
From within every heart, life calls, be
Ready for parting, and each new endeavor,
To bravely and without remorse
Find new beauty in the next other.
In all beginnings dwells a magic
Protecting us and helping us to live.

We shall traverse realm on realm,
cleaving to none as a home,
The world of spirit wishes not to fetter us,
He will raise us higher, to wider spaces.
We're hardly at home in one circle,
Familiar habits make for indolence,
In someone who is ready to depart and travel,
The crippling habit may dismiss itself.

Perhaps even the hour of death
may bring us home to new fresh spaces
The call of life to us is never ending ...
Well, my heart, bid farewell continually!

–Hermann Hesse
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/08/preparations.html

....become an absolute blank.
In that absolute blankness eveything is possible.
It is not negative;
it is the most positive thing in the world,
because out of nothingness,
everything manifests.
That nothingness is God.
So when that blank comes, enjoy it!
Dive deep into it,
dissolve yourself in it,
become one with it.
Then you will know much
which is higher than intelligence.

Be nothing, and for the first time you will be.
Osho

As is the human body,
So is the cosmic body. As is the human mind,
So is the cosmic mind. As is the microcosm,
So is the macrocosm. As is the atom,
So is the universe.

–The Upanishads
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/08/as-above.html

Thought of Thursday, August 6, 2015

Why is it so difficult for humans to live together?
Because they do not show one another enough attention or respect.
Collective life as practiced in a spiritual brotherhood is also a wonderful opportunity for its members to evolve and expand their consciousness.
Those who lead a solitary life can be selfish and temperamental.
There is no one standing next to them,
no one for whom they must try to watch and improve their behaviour.
But as soon as they begin to have anything to do with other people,
what an effort – and it’s so hard!

When people are aware that they belong to a whole that is much greater than themselves and are careful not to allow their actions, thoughts and feelings
– their internal noise –
to disturb the harmony, it shows that they are evolved.

You will say, ‘What do you mean by their internal noise?’

Yes, all noise is the result of a dissonance, and the internal noise that humans make with their feelings, torments and rebellions disturbs the psychic atmosphere.

Those who make a noise are unaware that they are also harming themselves,
for one day this noise will take the form of psychological or even physical problems. »
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Was almost to sand dunes path leaving sunrise beach..
....hear a loud call of a sea gull....
.....and turn to see her flying overhead in a straight course to roof of Sanctarii....

.....identities refuse to be lost.
There is a name and
number for everyone.

There is a definite place for bodies, there are pigeon holes for ashes:
Such security can business buy!

Who would dare to go nameless in so secure a universe?
Yet, to tell the truth, only the nameless are at home in it.

They bear with them in the center of nowhere
the unborn flower of nothing:
This is the paradise tree.

It must remain unseen
until words end and arguments are silent.
–Thomas Merton

Denial is a finger of blame pointing toward another.
Conflict is an expectation imposed onto another.
Frustration is the inability to control the will of another.
Sadness is a dependency on another.
Loneliness is waiting for another to arrive.
Solitude is freedom from needing another.
Harmony is embracing the uniqueness of another.
Grace is seeing there is no other.
Enlightenment is when the subjects of one and another disappear.
Love is what remains throughout it all.

“When the heart opens completely,
you will stumble upon the most powerful force in the Universe –
your loving eternal presence.”

WHEN PARALYZED/ERASED
ALLOW MINDLESS DOING CARRY YOU THRU....
<
WHEN THERE IS NO MIND TO MEDITATE WITH
ALL OF LIFE IS MEDITATION
ew
4:45 AM - 8/5/15

Stay light-footed, and keep moving.
Do you hear what the violin
says about longing?
*
Stay light-footed,
and keep moving.
Turkish, Arabic, Greek, any tongue
is a wind that was formerly water.

As a breeze carries the ocean inside it,
so underneath every sentence is,
"Come back to the source."
–Rumi

To the mind
there is such a thing as news,
whereas to inner knowing,
it's all in the middle of its happening.

To doubters, this is a pain.
To believers, it's gospel.
To the lover and the visionary
it's life as it's being lived.
~ Rumi

If I am not conjoined through the uniting
of the Below and the Above,
I break down into three parts:
the serpent, and in that or some other animal form I roam, living nature daimonically, arousing fear and longing.
The human soul, living forever within you.
The celestial soul, as such dwelling with the Gods,
far from you and unknown to you,
appearing in the form of a bird.
–Carl Jung

"....I would say without speaking...." "Primordial Insight" Sunrise/Afternoon August 4, 2015

If I could wake completely, I would say without speaking
Why I’m ashamed of using words.
–Rumi

(see full poem at end of this post)

There is only life.
There is nobody who lives a life.
–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Spontaneity is being
present in the present.

Spontaneity by-passes
the processes of the conceptual (aspect of) mind.

Reintegration with Nature,
which we are,
is the recovery of spontaneity.
Wu Hsin

Wonderful rain at sunrise this morning...this photo taken from the porch...this sky over the ocean....and all above photos taken close by.

This gull in photos above seemed to know me...after the photos in slideshow she flew and circled close to my head as though to get my attention...then made a direct flight to Sanctarii above....i missed a photo of her just above the roof, but she is in the bush on photo above right, which is just left of Sanctarii.
(House on a Dune..see Category for that)

The animating process is
The building block upon which
You have been erected.

Even after you have been torn down,
The building block remains.

Centering your attention there is
The direct means to gain
Primordial insight.
–Wu Hsin

http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/2015/08/insight.html

A whole afternoon field inside me from one stem of reed.
The messenger comes running toward me, irritated:
Why be so hard to find?

Last night I asked the moon about the Moon, my one question for the visible world, Where is God?

The moon says, I am dust stirred up
when he passed by.

The sun, My face is pale yellow
from just now seeing him.

Water: I slide on my head and face
like a snake, from a spell, he said.

Fire: His lightning,
I want to be that restless.

Wind, why so light?
I would burn if I had a choice.

Earth, quiet and thoughtful?
Inside me I have a garden
and an underground spring. This world hurts my head with its answers,
wine filling my hand, not my glass.

If I could wake completely, I would say without speaking
Why I’m ashamed of using words.

"Sweetness After Grief" Sunrise/Afternoon August 3, 2015

8/3/2015

Sorrows are the rags of old clothes and jackets that serve to cover,
and then are taken off.
That undressing, and the beautiful naked body underneath,
is the sweetness that comes after grief.
~Rumi
http://www.quotegarden.com/rumi.html

LIVE BEYOND TIME,
REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE MANIFESTED WORLD.
AS YOU ARE HELD IN THE TRUE REALITY
NOTHING ELSE CAN OR WILL DISTURB
THE PEACE THAT PASSETH UNDERSTANDING.

THIS IS THE CONDITION YOU REMEMBER
FROM PRE-CONCEPTION
AND EVEN MANY YEARS OF THIS LIFETIME.

IF YOU ARE STILL,
YOU KNOW ONLY THIS REALITY
AS REAL AND TRUE FOR YOU.

SO IT IS NOT A NEW WAY FOR YOU TO STRIVE TO BE.

IT IS SIMPLY
A REMEMBERING OF YOUR TRUTH AND BEING IT…
…THE MOST EFFORTLESS WAY OF BEING FOR YOU.

THE ONLY WAY OF BEING FOR YOU
THAT WILL AND DOES SUFFICE

When one is ready to have
Everything one thinks one knows
Turned upside down and
Inside out,

Wu Hsin appears.

The flower is no more, it has become the fragrance.
You can hold the flower in your hand, but you cannot hold fragrance in your hand
. To experience fragrance hands are not needed at all.
That's how you should come close to me,
you should be more sensitive towards the presence,
synchronized with my presence.

If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.

Put your thoughts to sleep,
do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart.
Let go of thinking
. ~Rumi

"seeing with the eyes of the soul,"
because when your deepest self recognizes its essence in another person,
it experiences love.
When your true self sees itself in an object,
it experiences beauty.
When we see with the eyes of the soul,
we find our pure self everywhere.
OprahChopra

Something opens our wings,
something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
~Rumi

The ocean moves,
not because it wishes to move
or because it knows that it is wise or good:
it moves involuntarily, unconscious of movement.

It is thus that you also will return to Tao,
and when you have returned,
you will not know it,
because you yourself would have become Tao.

There is nothing to do. Just be.
Do nothing. Be.

No climbing mountains and sitting in caves.
I do not even say: ‘be yourself’, since you do not know yourself.

Just be.

Having seen that you are neither the ‘outer’ world of perceivables,
nor the ‘inner’ world of thinkables,
that you are neither body nor mind,
just be.

–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
