In the Garden of The Beloved
March 29 · 

SILENCE, STILLNESS, PEACE

My home is very near a busy road,
But Sitting in its lush garden,
The din and clamor, so close by,
While deemed by some, disruptive,
Is to me a Reminder that Silence,
Has naught to do with sound.

For hearing the myriad notes of Life,
Whether melodious or dissonant,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Intoxicated at The Tavern of The Beloved,
Where Enraptured, it cups its ears and asks,
“Hmm, did you say something?”

My mind moves in continuous thought,
But Resting within myself,
The flow of words and images,
While deemed by some, a distraction,
Is to me a Reminder that Stillness,
Has naught to do with movement.

For as thoughts and images flow,
Whether pleasurable or discordant,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Entranced by the Face of The Beloved,
Where, without turning from Her,
It gestures, “You go on ahead.”

​The psyche’s weather roils, ever changing,
But Abiding as the formless Sky,
The inconstancy of calm and catastrophe,
While deemed by some, a hindrance,
Is to me a Reminder that Peace,
Has naught to do with change.

For whether the vicissitudes of emotion,
Bring sunlit joy or darkening sorrow,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere, 
Lost in Reverie of The Changeless One,
Ever Radiant in the Heart of Being,
Timeless, Spaceless, Objectless.

​Abandoning silence and clamor,
We become Silence.
Abandoning stillness and motion,
We become Stillness.
Abandoning peace and unrest,
We become Peace.

Abandoning all dualities, 
We become our Essence.

AFTERNOON

IN THE GARDEN OF TIME

“What have I done wrong?”
The ripening fruit bemoaned, 
While, burgeoning with nectar,
And rich with the colors of fruition,
A little green remained near the stem.

“Surely, this is my fault!”
The tender bud lamented,
When, upon first opening to sunlight,
The promise of flowering revealed,
Its delicate petals remained yet veiled.

Some of our deepest wounds,
Are judgements, self-inflicted,
Endless paper cuts upon our spirit,
Made by an inherently imperfect “self”,
Despising its imperfection.

When in fact, the green-stemmed fruit,
The infant petals in a sheltering bud,
Are as they should be, in their time,
On schedule to arrive, in their time,
In this Dream of passing seasons.

​For here, in The Garden of Time,
What is not yet, becomes what is,
And what is, becomes what was, 
And our manifest Being, ever ripening,
Is not yet, now, as it will be, then.

On this Path of Love and Surrender,
Tend gently the seedling of your Heart,
Doing the needful, as you are able,
Then Surrender, giving yourself over, 
Sweet unripened...

To The Beloved Gardener.

PEACE DEPENDS ON NOTHING
JOHN MCINTOSH


-Fighting for Peace EXPANDS discord.
-Working for Peace EXPANDS the experience of its lack.

-Genuine Peace ‘passes understanding’
because understanding is of the false-self-mind,
which analyses.

-Peace cannot be held in ‘relationship’
to anything else such as such as war,
chaos, stress, confusion, etc.,
because IT ‘has’ no opposite and stands alone …
another name for ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness [the Real YOU].

-YOU cannot ‘have’ Peace because what can be ‘had’
can also be taken away and Peace is eternal.
Peace ‘is’ Who You Are and is ‘always’ Present.

-You ‘as’ YOU … the Real YOU,
can only be AWARE of the Peace YOU ‘are’.
The false self [mind-identity-person]
can never be Aware of genuine Peace
because its illusionary existence
is ‘based-on’ separation
… the foundation of opposites: good-bad,
light-dark, male-female, peace-war …

-Peace depends on ‘nothing’,
meaning it relies on or rests on nothing ‘outside’ IT SELF
since there ‘is’ nothing ‘outside’ ONE.
Emptiness ‘is’ nothing-ness
and the absence of the individual-personal-identity
reveals the God-SELF [which ‘is’ Peace],
another name for ONE ‘individuated’ [yet still ONE].

-Returning to the Awareness of the Peace You Are,
occurs effortlessly and automatically
when the person dissolves back into the God-SELF.
