ORIGIN’S BREATH "..the divine breath,..." "...the simple smile..." "Doing nothing will bring you life." January 17, 2020

ORIGIN’S BREATH
FUELS AND ELIMINATES
ALL THAT IS REQUIRED
ew
4:48 AM-1/17/20

All is contained in the divine breath,
like the day in the morning dawn.
Muhyi-din Ibn 'Arabi

Ancient Wisdom
It might be
The final test of man, the narrow way
Proving him worthy of immortal life
That he should face this darkness and this death
Worthily, and renounce all easy hope,
All consolation, all but the simple smile
Upon the face of Truth…
(From the Book of Earth, an ancient Egyptian funerary text.)
https://contemplativedaybook.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-final-test.html

For silence is not God,
nor is speaking;
fasting is not God,
nor is eating;
aloneness is not God,
nor is company;
nor yet or all of such opposites.

He is hid between them,
and may not be found
by any work of your soul,
but only by love of your heart."

Discretion of Stirrings, 17th century

As a pearl is formed and its layers grow,
a rich iridescence begins to glow.
The oyster has taken what was at first an irritation
and intrusion and uses it to enrich its value.
How can you coat or frame
the changes in your life to harvest beauty,
brilliance, and wisdom?
– Susan C. Young

Take the Pearl and leave the shell behind.
Rumi

A pearl in the shell does not touch the ocean.
Be a pearl without a shell.
A mindful flooding.
A spark turned to flame.
Bird settling nest.
Love lived.
― Rumi

Silence of the mind which is the result of
deep understanding,
that meditation is a natural,
spontaneous meditation
which just happens....

....When you truly realize that
this lie and living is an absurdity,
then you join in the dance.

You take part in this absurdity.
The body-mind organism continues to live in the world,
but without any sense of personal doership.
The Net of Jewels
Ramesh S. Balsekar
January 16

Problems need to be dissolved, not solved,
because there is no solution.
The only way the problems get dissolved is,
as soon as they arise,
they are merely witnessed. ...

... When Truth is realized, there is neither
bondage nor liberation.

Both the worlds we dream of when asleep
and this world we dream while awake
will have disappeared into the cosmic dissolution,
which is the equivalent of
the state of deep sleep.
The Net of Jewels
Ramesh S. Balsekar
January 17

To be free of the obsession
With the future,
With the preoccupation of
What to do next, is
Most well regarded by those that
Others label as lazy.
Even if it were so,
It would be
The highest form of laziness.

In every moment
Wu Hsin is doing
Exactly what he is supposed to be
Doing.
He knows this because
He knows that
He is not
Doing anything.

Wu Hsin cannot guarantee that
Meditating will bring peace.
However, Wu Hsin can guarantee that
Doing nothing will bring you life.
Wu Hsin

I love this time-
the in-between time,
the time after all the gatherings and lights.

It is the crack between the worlds,
the place where dreaming can unfold
and then spiral into being quickly and quietly.

It is a place where, if we want them to,
solitude and silence can surround us
and the soul-hungers we have abandoned
can find us once again.

It is a time to listen deeply,
to stay with stillness
open to the impulse
to move from
the deepest part
of what we are.

AFTERNOON

How can I Drown
in
What I AM?

A Transparency that cannot be described to
or noticed by others....
...just as true death of physical form on earth
cannot be described to one
who does not Know, UnKnow…. or Remember.

∞

Nothing out there
causes a Shift within

The Within
already Is
since before time.

It matters not
where I am
if I AM
where I am.

If we do not Remember
planet-entry-Knowing
we are doomed to carry accumulated
contaminations/densities
to the next world at final flight
(or the next moment this day)

Without Raptures
there are no valleys.
All is the Same.

Creating something from Nothing.
All fits into that paradigm.

Only Life is forever.

All else passes.
Nothing to cling to.
Nothing to avoid.

Only the not passes.

The unspeakably-horrible snake
is only a stick

In God Alone
there is no struggle.
Only Being.
Creator/Creation as One.

Present in the Presence
of the single moment
Erases all else
but Nothing

Finally one does not
remember anything
but
Nothing

Nothing to teach, preach
or share.
However Transmissions
do occur
beyond the Silence.

Love Threshed me to Nothing

Consumed by its Fire
Left as an ash upon the ground
I am now
only the wind
in and of
the Breathless One
Alone

All yearning/ longing of my soul

Sated & Devoured in
the Great Silence.

This is Love
beyond all words & perception

O Joy of this life!
O Breath of this life!
You are me!
I AM You!

Beyond Joy!

Beyond Breath!

O Silent Core of Life
Sustains

The wind has died.

Where are the sails?
Is the boat an illusion, too?

How can I drown
in what I AM?

The form that was needed
is no longer necessary

Excess decays
without use and purpose.

At long last
no struggle
no pain.

Only the unknown is Known

The Known is unknown

They are the same...birthing Divine Silence.

“A person blended into God does not disappear.
He or she is just soaked with the qualities.”
Soul of Rumi

“When I remember your love,
I weep,
and when I hear people
talking of you,
something in my chest,
where nothing much happens now,
moves as in sleep.”

A man once asked Rumi:
Why is it you talk so much about silence?
His answer:
“The radiant one inside me has never said a word!”

5:27 AM-1/12/20

* By "embodiment" I mean the act of descent which the soul chooses again and again over the course of a lifetime and the process by which we, as spiritual beings, come to dwell more and more fully as our unique selves in our flesh, bones, and blood on planet earth.

It is becoming clear that spirit resides as much in these choices of embodiment as in those of transcendence,
and that, in fact,
the two are complementary aspects of the process of Soul-realization, taking the meaning of "realization" in both its senses -
becoming aware of who we most are
and making that soul real
through resonant and consistent attitudes
and behaviors
in the world.

Each one of us is called
to become that great song
that comes out of the silence,
and the more we let ourselves down
into that great silence
the more we become capable
of singing that great song.

Breath
by Birago Diop - Senegalese poet

Listen to things more often than to beings.
Hear the voice of the fire, hear the voice of the water,
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush:
This is the ancestors breathing.

Those who are dead are never gone;…
The dead are not down in the earth:
They are in the trembling of the trees,
In the groaning of the woods,
In the water that runs,
in the water that sleeps,

They are in the hut, they are in the crowd…
Those who are dead are not ever gone;
They are in the woman’s breast,
they are in the wailing of a child,
They are in the burning log and in the moaning rock..
They are in the weeping grasses, in the forest and the home…

Listen to things more often than beings.
Hear the voice of fire, hear the voice of water.
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush.
This is the ancestors breathing.

When you are ripe,
you will let go of yourself
and the part of you that is fruit
will fall and be happy
and the part of you that is branch
will tremble in the wind.

AFTERNOON

This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,

Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labors to others,

Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
Have patience and indulgence toward the people,

Take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
Or to any man or number of men,

Go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
And with the young and with the mothers of families,

Read these leaves in the open air,
Every season of every year of your life,

Re-examine all you have been told,
At school at church or in any book,

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
And your very flesh shall be a great poem,

And have the richest fluency not only in its words,
But in the silent lines of its lips and face,

And between the lashes of your eyes,
And in every motion and joint of your body.

—Walt Whitman,
born 1819

one doesn't try to convince others.
Because one is content with oneself,
one doesn't need others' approval.
Because one accepts oneself,

AFTERNOON

ll which I took from Thee
I did but take,
not for Thy harms,
but just that Thou
might’st seek it in my arms.
Practical Mysticism
Evelyn Underhill

I AM YOUR HEART AND SOUL.
I AM ALL THAT YOU ARE....

WHAT YOU HAVE PERCEIVED AS AN ERROR,
A MISTAKE, A STRAYING,
OR
EVEN EVIL,
IS
ALSO OF ME

THE DARKNESS HAS BEEN
MY ONLY WAY OF GETTING YOUR ATTENTION.

SO-CALLED EVIL
OR THE DEVIL
AS MANY SAY,
IS A POWERFUL FORCE
THAT COMES TO YOU
IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY AWAKEN
TO ME.

IT IS SO POWERFUL
THAT IT CAUSES YOU
TO TOTALLY SURRENDER
IN ME...KNOWING
THAT ONLY SOMETHING
AS PRESENT
AND
ALL ENCOMPASSING
AS
MY DIVINE LOVE
CAN SAVE YOU!

RECALL
ALL THAT YOU CAN
OF YOUR LIFE, DEAR HEART.

REMEMBER THE DARKEST HOURS.

REMEMBER WHEN IT SEEMED
THAT DARKENSS
OR EVIL
TOTALLY SURROUNDED YOU
AND
WANTED TO OVERPOWER.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

OFTENTIMES YOU DANCED AND COURTED
WITH THE DARKNESS.

BUT SOONER OR LATER
IT BEAT YOU TO A PULP
SO THAT YOU FINALLY REALIZED
SOMETHING
CONTINUED TO BREATHE YOU...

THAT SOMETHING
YOU HAVE REALIZED
IS
ME.

YES
THE DARKNESS COMES IN MANY FORMS.

IT CONTINUES TO DO SO
UNTIL
THERE IS TOTAL & ABSOLUTE SURRENDER
TO
MY LOVE.

WHEN THERE IS PERFECT REALIZATION
THAT
....I AM ALL THAT IS....
THERE IS NO LONGER A NEED
FOR CHAOS AND SO-CALLED
EVIL IN YOUR LIFE.

SHOULD
OTHERS PERCEIVE
THERE IS STILL EVIL ABOUT
OR
WITHIN YOU,
THAT IS
ONLY
THEIR PERCEPTION…

…AS NOTHING
WITHIN/WITHOUT
YOU
IS
PERCEIVED BY YOU
AS ANYTHING
BUT
MY
PERFECT EXPRESSION.

OFTENTIMES
THE CHAOS
IS
AROUND YOU
SO THAT
OTHERS MAY PERCEIVE
MY LIGHT EVERSHINING
PURELY FROM YOU,
AS YOU,
REGARDLESS
OF
WHAT THEY THINK
IS
EVIL.

THIS
THEN BECOMES YOUR
(OUR)
OPPORTUNITY IN FLESH
TO
EXPRESS
SO THAT OTHERS
CAN UNDERSTAND
THE POWER
OF OUR LIGHT
MELTING AWAY
WHAT THEY PERCEIVE
IS THE DEVIL.

AS
YOU REMAIN BETROTHED WITH ME,
THERE IS OFTEN
MORE DARKNESS AT
YOUR DOOR.

BE NOT DISMAYED.

WELCOME THIS IN GRATITUDE
AS
OPPORTUNITY
FOR
YOUR OWN
DIVINE REALIZATION
TO BE STRENGTHENED……

…AND
ALSO AS OPPORTUNITY
TO
SHINE BRIGHTLY FOR OTHERS….

…PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY
FOR THEM TO EXPERIENCE
THE LIGHT EVERSHINING
THRU
WHAT THEY INITIALLY PERCEIVE
AS
IMPOSSIBLE DARKNESS
AND
ADVERSITY
ENVELOPING YOU.

You know someone loves you when they put the moon in your tea to calm your worry.

You know someone is honest
when they put what they’ve broken before you,
not out of anger, but softly on a pillow
in the middle of the house.

You know you’ve found your family
when they come over,
no questions asked,
and listen carefully,
even when you have nothing to say.

And to dream of birds circling ahead of you
as you wander through a sunlit field
means you are about to meet a friend
who will touch your soul.

But if you dream that you can breathe underwater,
it means you will save someone in the days to come.

We are touched by fantastic things that seldom speak.
So be careful not to turn away the mute angels
who are waiting.

AFTERNOON

All quotes below in this font from Arif K.
The entire wording is in
Read More Below Afternoon Photos

the softness of friendship
melts into relationship
with the divine who beholds the inside
of a rose, spiraling through your eyes
& the silence which proceeds your beholding
gives plasticity to objects, to hate;
makes judgment melt in true friendship;
makes the knot in the heart unravel
& i wish to sense with the organ
of your art.

what does it mean to gaze in the mirror
of the true friend? to hold ones own
inmost gaze in the fire of mutual longing
for the divine. to rise
in seizing the kinetic God
& be stilled as possibilities
are felt in the vibrancy between
words which is the vibrancy of the heart
forged in a common
longing.

a roof is being
built from the aftermath
this over and over again building, a foundation
that caves in, the moment it is erected, & the clacking
branches scrape the roof & we are a tree upside down
bending backwards as though to reach each other before
we apprehend what we are reaching, the swallows forked
in thirds by the pond
& who will ever know what is meant in darkness
when roots are stopped by this kinetic response of air,
the air a tressel, which leaves a sense of knowing.

we can at last say
we know the form of silence, that silence doesn’t brood
is not a premonition as it is a lisping of a name,
the name we lost in fear when we over & over built
a graveyard for yearning, with steel brackets.

this foundation
moves like air & you are not far from letting these bricks fall
because you loved & let the structure fall.
in you, the eye, cleared of confusion
the eye, clarified in the heart
in you, deception dispelled
in you, morality, a stepping stone.
zeal has become clarified
& value is seized.

by you blessed, this eye
from which fish emerge on a pier
a star merged with a full moon &
a tower was illumined;
we fell into water & reemerged when the sky
darkened again; i climbed up the steps of my ancestry
& now this heartbeat in stone,
waiting to be touched by your hourglass

when the heart is opened by the beloved,
or when the fingers trace the heart;
there are lives within lives opening like russian dolls.
occasionally, one catches
the fragrance of a distant rose, spiraled inward,
was the kernel Ramakrishna.

there is no falling.
heat will not make this hour.
the flowers skinned alive, petal by petal
fall on etched glass, where pain is malleable
and moving. the spinning center of your body,
still like a humming bird,
as the hourglass spins and this red festival
of fire falls, shorn from a distant memory.

when the beloved gazes though the lover’s eyes
what is blue and brown, but the symmetry of her hour
where colors melt in eyes touching, and invisible hands made
visible in muteness. i walk a spiral in your heart
and two moons are fused in one, a crescent and a pearl.
i am a fisherman and you are blue.

i have no thing to offer you,
but this touch, where i disappear.

you gaze though me at yourself.
you are always only blue. i am brown like the earth
swathed in your sky blue utterance.

you are cosmos whirling wide
sea breezes on the turf of the tide rise up
like innumerable hands. Breezes bust the waves
and the space between your lips open and
the cedars rowed in the air,
your soul hovered above the glen, a gleaning
of who you once were,
and shall become when time is set in motion again.

you are above the bed post hovering
like angels above a cardinal’s bed of soot and sear, pristine,
i want to surrender to your silence which peels me.

THE CESSATION.... "...he only smiled." January 7, 2020

A CONDITION KNOWN SINCE BEFORE TIME
A RETURN TO “ORIGINAL BEING”
THE CESSATION OF DANCES WITH THE ILLUSORY
ew
5:28 AM-1/7/20

6:43 AM First "sunrise" photo from top of Dunes Path to beach

...HE ONLY SMILED
There is a well known Eastern legend giving the idea of a soul who had found truth.
There was a wall of laughter and of smiles.
This wall existed for ages and many tried to climb it,
but few succeeded.

Those who had climbed upon it saw something beyond,
and so interested were they that they smiled,
climbed over the wall and never returned.

Remembrance Rock - Portal of Entry

The people of the town began to wonder
what magic could there be and what attraction,
that whoever climbed the wall never returned.
So they called it the wall of mystery.

Then they said,
'We must make an enquiry
and send someone who can reach the top,
but we must tie him with a rope to hold him back.'

When the man they had thus sent
reached the top of the wall,
he smiled and tried to jump over it,
but they pulled him back.

Still he smiled,
and when the people eagerly asked,
'what did you see there?'
he did not answer,
he only smiled.

This is the condition of the seer.
The man who in the shrine of his heart
has seen the vision of God,
the one who has the realization of truth,
can only smile,
for words can never really explain
what truth means.

here i came to the very edge
where nothing at all needs saying,
everything is absorbed through weather and the sea,
and the moon swam back,
its rays all silvered,
and time and again the darkness would be broken
by the crash of a wave,
and every day on the balcony of the sea,
wings open, fire is born,
and everything is blue again like morning.

What began in those early days
was the seed of today's grace,
and it must continue to grow,
but without being in any way spectacular
or drawing attention to itself
(Fenelon:
"Beware the humility that can speak its own name").

In my younger days
there was a great deal of wanting to be noticed
for my weariness of the world,
love of silence
and the urge to solitude.

True as all that may have been true then,
it was too self-conscious to be very deep.
God made up for my limitations,
as God does for each of us.

Now I live,
not as someone who has cut herself off from the world, found the solitude, and wants the world to know it,
but as a person who hopes to serve
- without knowing it -
God's plan to be revealed in the world
and to the world.
This, then, makes clearer to me what it means to be - "Hidden with Christ in God".

AFTERNOON

I have been thinking of the difference between
water and the waves on it.
Rising, water's still water, falling back, it is water.
Will you give me a hint how to tell them apart?
Because someone has made up the word "wave,"
do I have to distinguish it from water?
There is a Secret One inside us; the planets in all the galaxies pass through his hands like beads.
That is a string of beads one should look at
with luminous eyes.

SPACIOUSNESS UNFETTERING----- JANUARY 5, 2016

Below OSHO Quotes in this font from:
https://o-meditation.com/2012/03/22/die-to-the-past-osho/

And when I say to die to the past,
I mean do not get so attached to the brain
that you do not know
that you can exist without the brain.

Knowing this, realizing this, that
“Without the brain I CAN exist;
I am consciousness and not the memories;
memories are just my instruments,”
you will become free
from your own mind.

And once you are free from your mind,
no one can make a slave of you.
Otherwise, everyone is trying to manipulate you
to make you a slave.

Die to the past, be alive to the present,
to the moment you are in –
it will not destroy your mind.
Really, it will give a rest to your restless mind.
Your efficiency will grow, and there will be no effort.
You will not NEED to remember.
You will simply remember
because this is the functioning of the mind;
you need not make any effort.

So if you forget things
it is because you are not interested.
If you forget things it is because your mind is confused.
If you forget things and cannot remember
and are not efficient,
it means that while you are seeing a face
your many memories inside go on moving.
Your mirror is not vacant;
your lens is already overcrowded.

Whenever you are interested the mind is silent –
your whole being is open.
The memories go on being recorded
and whenever you need something it will come up.

But it is not so easy with you.
Because your mind is so much filled,
whenever you need something
everything gets entangled.

Nothing is clear-cut;
everything penetrates, trespasses, every other thing. Nothing is clear.
The clarity is not there;
only confusion is there.
Because of that confusion you are not efficient.

You will be more efficient,
and without any effort,
if you become alert to the moment
and do not allow the past
to go on overburdening you.

You run into this amazingly beautiful paradox
that there is no ‘I’ at all and ‘I’ is everywhere,
and both of those are true simultaneously.
It’s about as much fun as you could possibly have.
There isn’t an ‘I’, and
the only thing that exists is
one big ‘I’ shining
out of everything.”

AFTERNOON

When the Ten Thousand things
are viewed in their oneness,
we return to Origin and remain
where we have always been.
Sen T’sen

Seng-Tsan Quotes below from:
http://www.greatthoughtstreasury.com/author/sen-t%E2%80%99sen-aka-seng-tsan-jianzhi-sengcan-kanchi-sosan-third-chinese-patriarch-zen

To seek Mind with the (discriminating) mind
is the greatest of all mistakes.
At the moment of profound insight,
you transcend both appearance and emptiness.

Live neither in the entanglements of outer things,
nor in inner feelings of emptiness.
Be serene in the oneness of things
and such erroneous views
will disappear by themselves.

When you try to stop activity by passivity
your very effort fills you with activity.
As long as you remain in one extreme or the other
you will never know Oneness.

To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult.
But those with limited views are fearful and irresolute:
the faster they hurry, the slower they go.
And clinging (attachment) cannot be limited:
Even to be attached to the idea of enlightenment is to go astray.

Just let things be in their own way and there
will be neither coming not going.
Obey the nature of things (your own nature)
and you will walk freely and undisturbed.

As vast as infinite space,
it is perfect and lacks nothing.
But because you select and reject,
you can't perceive its true nature..

Rest and unrest derive from illusion;
with enlightenment there is no liking and disliking.
All dualities come from ignorant inference.
They are like dreams or flowers in air - foolish to try to grasp them.
Gain and loss, right and wrong,
such thoughts must finally be abolished at once.

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

The mind of absolute trust is beyond all thought,
all striving,
is perfectly at peace,
for in it there is no yesterday, no today,
no tomorrow.

Don't get entangled in the world; don't lose yourself in emptiness.
Be at peace in the oneness of things,
and all errors will disappear by themselves.

The struggle between good and evil
is the primal disease of the mind.
Not grasping the deeper meaning,
you just trouble your minds serenity.
The Great Way is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.

The Perfect Way is difficult only for those who pick and choose;
do not like, do not dislike;
all will then be clear.
Make a hairbreadth difference,
and Heaven and Earth are set apart:
if you want the truth to stand clear before you,
never be for or against.

The struggle between “for” and “against”
is the mind’s worst disease...

There is no need to seek Truth; only stop having views...
The ultimate Truth about both Extremes
is that they are One Emptiness.

There has never been a time
when you and I have not existed,
nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist.
As the same person inhabits
the body through childhood, youth, and old age,
so too at the time of death
he attains another body.

The wise are not deluded by these changes.

–The Bhagavad Gita
http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede,
and your life becomes
increasingly merged in the universal life.

An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first,
narrowly contained within its banks,
and rushing passionately
past rocks and over waterfalls.

Gradually the river grows wider,
the banks recede,
the waters flow more quietly,
and in the end,
without any visible break,
they become merged in the sea,
and painlessly lose their individual being.

–Bertrand Russell
Portraits from Memory and Other Essays

AFTERNOON

Lord, the air smells good today,
straight from the mysteries
within the inner courts of God.
A grace like new clothes thrown
across the garden,
free medicine for everybody.
The trees in their prayer,
the birds in praise,
the first blue violets kneeling.

Whatever came from Being
is caught up in being,
drunkenly forgetting the way back.

Rest in peace.
You are the unchangeable Awareness
in which all activity takes place.
Always rest in peace.

You are eternal Being,
unbounded and undivided.
Just keep Quiet.
All is well.

Keep Quiet Here and Now.
You are Happiness,
you are Peace,
you are Freedom.
Do not entertain any notions
that you are in trouble.

Be kind to yourself.
Open to your Heart and simply Be.
Those who know This
know Everything.

If not,
even the most learned
know nothing at all.

REMEMBRANCE ROCK

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
The Code of Authentic Living - Joan C. King

...from
The Code of Authentic Living - Joan C. King

Physics teaches us that, at its essence,
everything is energy.
We are beings of energy.
A mysterious life force,
made up of
the Source Energy that reverberates
within each molecule
is
in every cell of the body.

Source Energy animates every living being
and [is] eternally creative,
ever seeking new dimensions,
relentlessly pursuing
new expressions...

Source Energy is our link
to the creative energies of the Universe.

We thrive when our actions and interactions
are aligned with the energy
that animates and sustains our cells.

Out of the Source Energy of the Void,
the energy that powers all creation,
the energy that resonates within our cells,
something new is being born
at every transition in life...

A new reality is unfolding
from the field of possibility.

At moments of transition,
the vortex of creative energy
that is our life force is activated.
Its waves carry the blueprint
that informs every new aspect
of our lives.

If we surrender to the vortex of energy
Cellular Wisdom will direct us on a path
that leads to emerging new dimensions
of our lives...

We cannot find this energy in our minds,
because our thoughts
are not our actual experience.

Any journey within leads, paradoxically,
to heightened awareness
of the expansive energy
which permeates all life.

The energy
that we encounter when we look inside ourselves
is the same energy
that guides the movement
of the heavenly spheres - the
stars, galaxies, universes.

Each living being has a characteristic
profile of energy frequencies
expressed within his or her body,
but our spirits are
not confined by physical limits.

Our individual energies pulse in and out of the sea of all energy...

When we tap
into that confluence of energy we arise renewed,
knowing that the energies in our bodies
are moving within the harmonies of
vast cosmic music.

There's nothing that you have to do to earn
the presence of Cellular Wisdom
[i.e. Source Energy],
for it is nothing less
than the essence of who you are.

The Paradox of Freedom - Amoda Maa

The closer we come to truth
(and the closer we come to living the truth),
everything becomes paradoxical.
Yes, everything.

It's this and that.
It's human and divine.
It's messy and it's perfect.
It's time-bound and it's timeless.
It's relative and it's absolute.
It's form and formless.
Everything becomes paradoxical.

(.....continuing this afternoon)

AFTERNOON

(...continuing the quote from this morning...)

We start to live as this paradox, because truth is not an end point.
Truth is not an answer.
Truth is not a belief system.
Truth is an open ended-ness within us.
And this is where freedom begins.

It's not a freedom that negates our human experience,
with all its changes, with all its ups and downs,
with all its losses and heart-breaks.

It's a freedom
that allows us to live at peace with all of it,
even when it's not peaceful.

It's a deep acceptance of what is.

-It's a freedom that wipes away all the cover-ups,
everything we tell ourselves
in order to protect ourselves,
to pretend that we're safe,
to imagine a perfect destination.

It's a freedom that wipes away
the layers of defended-ness,
all the strategies that we create
- mental strategies, emotional strategies, energetic strategies -
to get what we think we want from life
in order to feel comfortable,
in order to feel special,
in order to feel loved.

But these cover-ups end up
being our prison.
And there is no fulfillment
in this self-created prison.

Fulfillment only comes when there are no cover-ups.
It's the fulfillment of internal freedom,
and has nothing to do with the external.

You could be in a jail cell,
and still this freedom is available.

Amoda Maa

The Paradox of Freedom - Amoda Maa

The universe is uncaused,
like a net of jewels in which each
is only the reflection of all the others
in a fantastic interrelated harmony
without end.

The time will come when, with elation,
You will greet yourself arriving at your own door,
In your own mirror,
And each will smile at the other’s welcome,
And say, sit here, eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self

The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you, not knowing
How blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere
They’re in each other all along
(Rumi in Coleman, 2005)
https://iahip.org/inside-out/issue-56-winter-2008/the-inner-marriage-love-heartbreak-and-the-search-for-wholeness

Whether our search is for that ‘other half’ as Plato calls it,
or the one that will complete us and lead us to the divine mystery,
we all seek wholeness.
Our innate sense of belonging and of loss
is archetypal and primeval.
The fundamental nature of our great myths
is about the struggle to return to a state of oneness.
Whether this longing is expressed
through the various world religions
or spiritual traditions or simply in everyday life,
they all lead us to the same place,
a desire to return home.

Solitude is not chosen, any more than destiny is chosen.
Solitude comes to us if we have within us
the magic stone that attracts destiny.

In mysticism that love of truth
which we saw as the beginning of all philosophy
leaves the merely intellectual sphere,
and takes on the assured aspect of a personal passion.

Where the philosopher guesses and argues,
the mystic lives and looks;
and speaks, consequently, the disconcerting language
of first-hand experience,
not the neat dialectic of the schools.

Hence whilst the Absolute of the metaphysicians remains a diagram
—impersonal and unattainable--
the Absolute of the mystics
is lovable, attainable, alive.

New Year's Wish

The past year has been for me and for many others,
an opportunity to cling to God
in the face of hardship and pain.
In our acceptance and surrender
we grow closer to God.

To recognize your powerlessness in the face of suffering can be the door to a small circle of peace within,
a stillpoint.
It used to seem to me that
Catholic saints were obsessed with suffering,
gladly accepting and even welcoming it.

This is because pain brought them
to the deep truth of God’s nearness.

In A Passage through Self, Bernadette said:

"Those in the unitive state
now have a balanced psyche
and no extremes are possible.
Once their feelings reach a certain threshold,
that is it,
they come to an end.

They are either stopped and go no further
or they, as it were, bump into God.
So these feelings act kind of as a reminder of God’s presence.

That is why when some saints reached the unitive state
they actually went out and sought suffering,
looked for problems because they realized this situation.

The greater the problems,
the greater the awareness of God.
The more they had to put up with,
the more they had to contact this center,
and the more that center was revealed."

Rather than wishing you
a prosperous and peace-filled New Year,
let me wish you instead everything you need
to draw closer to God.
May the fire of your longing light every day.

Quotes below in this front from EXCELLENT essay re: Thomas Merton
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

Whatever else can be said about Merton, and much has been said,
one thing is certain: he was a monk who loved trees.
One might say I had decided to marry the silence of the forest,
he wrote.
"The sweet dark warmth of the whole world will have to be my wife.
Out of the heart of that dark warmth
comes the secret that is heard only in silence …
Perhaps I have an obligation to preserve the stillness,
the silence, the poverty,
the virginal point of pure nothingness
which is at the center of all other loves."
He had been searching for that center his whole life.
Le point vierge, he called it.

This monk who wed the silence of the forest
was also a gregarious lover of people,
which is exactly why he needed to flee their presence.
He yearned for the kind of deep solitude
where he could shed his public persona
and live for God alone.
Perhaps he would find it among the California redwoods,
along the Lost Coast,
or in New Mexico’s Chama River Canyon.

le point vierge
I first discovered the phrase in Merton’s book Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, where he wrote:
At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will.

This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty
is the pure glory of God in us.
Merton helped me articulate a belief
I’d long suspected, that the core of our being is not rotten,
as my Protestant upbringing had insisted,
but is a place of untouched beauty and wholeness
reserved for God alone,
a place beyond ego that no evil can touch.

Merton borrowed the phrase le point vierge
from Sufi scholar Louis Massignon,
who borrowed the idea
from the ninth-century Sufi Mansur al-Hallaj.
As al-Hallaj wrote,
“Our hearts, in their secrecy,
are a virgin alone,
where no dreamer’s dream penetrates--
the heart where the presence of the Lord penetrates,
there to be conceived.”

Eight crows wheeled in the sky overhead,
casting their shadows on the bare hillside.
He read the Astavakra Gita on reincarnation,
looked out over the Pacific, and wrote:

Reincarnation or not,
I am as tired of talking and writing
as if I had done it for centuries.
Now it is the time to listen at length to this Asian ocean.

In the fall he would cross this Asian ocean on a different pilgrimage, one that would be his last.
Before he left, he photographed Needle Rock.

The great Yang-Yin of sea rock mist,
diffused light and half hidden mountain …
an interior landscape, yet there.
In other words,
what is written within me is there.
“Thou art that.”

As Merton wrote in his essay “From Pilgrimage to Crusade,” the peregrini set out not in order to visit a sacred shrine
but to seek solitude and exile.

If the peregrinus had a goal, it was to find his
“place of resurrection”--

a specific place where he might live out his remaining days
in prayer and solitude.

This was not simply wandering for its own sake, Merton wrote:

“It was a journey to a mysterious, unknown,
but divinely appointed place,
which was to be the place of the monk’s
ultimate meeting with God.”

Whether Merton sought God here in this desert canyon
or along the desolate Mendocino coast
or in the deep hush of the redwoods,
he began to suspect that his search for the perfect hermitage
was a chimera.

The country which is nowhere is the real home.
His real home was le point vierge,
the place in himself reserved only for God.
Perhaps I have an obligation to preserve the stillness,
the silence, the poverty, the virginal point of pure nothingness
which is at the center of all other loves.

The Christian of the future, Rahner said fifty years ago,
will either be a mystic or cease to exist.
Brother Leander looks hard at me with his good eye.
“And what is mysticism?
The experience of God in the interior of one’s being.
I always liked Hermann Hesse’s definition of a mystic:
a poet without verses,
a painter without a brush,
a musician without notes.”

I tell Brother Leander that I pray the Jesus Prayer,
a kind of mantra used by the early desert monks.
“Yes, laddie, and you must pray the prayer
not only with your lips or your mind
but with your heart.”

IT WAS A COLLECTIVE madness that befell European Christianity
in the medieval years when Christians gave up wandering
in search of God and turned their search
toward wealth and power.
By the twelfth century,
the peaceful and defenseless peregrinatio of the Irish monks
had been replaced by the violence of the Crusades.
When knights, kings, and priests attempted to liberate
the land of Abraham through force, Merton wrote,
they implanted within the European psyche
an insidious pattern of conquest
that would repeat itself many times
over the coming centuries.

By the time Europeans set foot in North America,
the pilgrim mentality and crusader mentality had finally fused,
creating a singular and disastrous form of alienation
that resulted in the conquest of indigenous peoples.

As Merton wrote:
“Centuries of ardent, unconscious desire for the Lost Island
had established a kind of right to paradise once it was found.
It never occurred to the sixteenth-century Spaniard or Englishman to doubt for a moment that the new world was entirely and rightly his.
It had been promised and given to him by God.
It was the end of centuries of pilgrimage.”

“There is no lost island merely for the individual,”
Merton concluded in his essay on pilgrimage.
“We are all pieces of the paradise isle.”

In no time is that more true than now,
in this age when our paradise isle
is threatened at every turn.
Perhaps the meaning of pilgrimage now
in this age of climate change and species loss
is that the fruits of our inner life in God
cannot remain ours alone;
they must be shared for the sake of all life.
The portal to the invisible must be visible.
“What can we gain by sailing to the moon
if we are not able to cross the abyss
that separates us from ourselves?”
Merton asked.
“This is the most important of all voyages of discovery,
and without it all the rest are not only useless but disastrous.”

To update Merton’s question:
What can we gain by fixing climate change
or ending poverty
or terraforming Mars
if we remain alienated from ourselves?
How to cross that abyss?
Brother Leander:
You must let the prayer descend to your heart, laddie!
Brother Isidore:
Let us be silent before God who made us.
Brother Jerome:
You learn to talk to silence,
and silence answers in silence.

This is the work:
to take these feelings of loneliness and exile
and bring them into the furnace of the heart,
where emotional abandonment becomes mystical abandonment.
Sitting in this tiny patch of shade,
surrounded by white sage and ocotillo,
I bring these thoughts into prayer.

Normally my prayers are a dull litany of requests and complaints,
the hypes and gripes of a lukewarm spiritual life,
but here on the edge of this vast mesa,
I feel those petitions giving way to something more compelling,
an opening into a more spacious country.
An uncomplicated resting in God,
who seems to have no other agenda
than to welcome me into this place of
silence and mercy and at-oneness.
A feeling of Presence
that is so much more than the breeze on my face
or the sweat evaporating on my skin.

The real miracle is not to fly or walk on fire.
The real miracle is to walk on the Earth,
and you can perform that miracle at any time.
Just bring your mind home to your body, become alive,
and perform the miracle of walking on Earth.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Excellent article above…with gentle suggestions…

When we first hear about emptiness,
we feel a little frightened.
But after practicing for a while,
we see that things do exist,
only in a different way
than we’d thought.

Emptiness is the Middle Way
between existent and nonexistent.
The beautiful flower
does not become empty when it fades and dies.
It is already empty, in its essence.

Looking deeply,
we see that the flower
is made of non-flower elements --
light, space, clouds, earth, and consciousness.
It is empty of a separate, independent self.

In the Diamond Sutra,
we are taught that a human being
is not independent of other species,
so to protect humans,
we have to protect the non-human species.

If we pollute the water and air,
the vegetables and minerals,
we destroy ourselves.

We have to learn to see ourselves
in things that we thought were outside of ourselves
in order to dissolve false boundaries.

It is only resistance that transforms
the eternity of the present moment
into the transience of passing experience
as time or duration.
Without resistance there is only eternity.

The truest communication with God
is absolute, total silence;
there is not a single word in existence
that can convey this communication.
Bernadette Roberts
https://www.inspiringquotes.us/author/8712-bernadette-roberts

Ultimately, then, union with God is not really complete until there is nothing left to be united:
between self (the still center on the affective continuum)
and God (the still-point)
there is no gap remaining.
What is left is what Is, all that Is
and Its identity
is unmistabkable.

A friend recently told me
that the falling way of the affective system
was invariably a psychotic symptom.
While I had never heard this before and cannot verify it,
my present perspective is quite the opposite.
As I see it,
the affective system is not only
the cause of every psychological illness,
it is the cause of all man's suffering.

AFTERNOON

I have lots of things to teach you now,
in case we ever meet,
concerning the message
that was transmitted to me
under a pine tree in North Carolina
on a cold winter moonlit night.

It said that Nothing Ever Happened,
so don’t worry.
Everything is ecstasy,
inside.
We just don’t know it
because of our thinking-minds.

But in our true blissful essence of mind
it is known that everything
is alright forever and forever and forever.

Close your eyes,
let your hands and nerve-ends drop,
stop breathing for 3 seconds,
listen to the silence inside
the illusion of the world,
and you will remember
the lesson you forgot,
which was taught in immense milky ways
of cloudy innumerable worlds long ago
and not even at all.

It is all one vast awakened thing.
I call it the golden eternity.
It is perfect.

We were never really born,
we will never really die.
It has nothing to do with the imaginary idea
of a personal self, other selves,
many selves everywhere,
or one universal self.

Self is only an idea,
a mortal idea.
That which passes through everything,
is one thing.
It’s a dream already ended.

There’s nothing to be afraid of
and nothing to be glad about.

I know this from staring at mountains months on end.
They never show any expression,
they are like empty space.

Do you think the emptiness of space
will ever crumble away?

Mountains will crumble,
but the emptiness of space,
which is the one universal essence of mind,
the one vast awakenerhood,
empty and awake,
will never crumble away
because it was never born.
—Jack Kerouac
https://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2019/10/information-for-matt.html.

Remembrance Rock

You are born with the soul,
but you are absolutely unaware of it –
because of the mind.

The mind never allows you to be in the present.
That’s the reason my insistence on meditation is so strong –
because meditation simply means a method to get rid of the mind.
The moment the mind is not there, suddenly you are in a new space:
so fresh, so beautiful, so blissful.

That is your soul; that is your no-mind.

And once you have entered that space,
that space starts growing around you
and creates a certain energy field.
That becomes your presence of being.
-Osho

In the Garden of The Beloved

WHEN THE PAINTER SIGHS, “BE”

Upon the canvas of Awareness,
The senses paint the picture of life,
In perceptions and sensations,
Which mind then varnishes in knowing.

The gist of this affair, as I see it,
Is not to live transcendent as canvas,
Or lose one’s self in paint and varnish,
But to live where paint meets canvas.

In the Ecstasy of Existence’s Birth,
Where canvas, paint, and varnish,
As mere ideas in the mind of God,
First move from formlessness to form.

There, where we Are, but not yet are,
Where “Am” exists before “I”,
Where Song exists before sound,
Dance as Delight, not yet a dancer.

For you are there, before “you” are,
In that Water before the river of you,
In that Sky before the cloud you seem,
In that Timeless, Spaceless Instant…
When The Painter sighs, “Be.”

Mind Games...

Tired of noisy words,
the "spiritual abstractions"
cleverly strung together
by word-crafters espousing
their mind games - not
from the simplicity of their Heart,
but the complexities of their minds;
having been absorbed by too many
conceptual ideas: "there is only here
and Now"; "there is no other"; "there
is no me"; "'i' does not exist -
creating a phantom reality from those concepts
and ideas on which to hang your mind;
plying their paradoxes into 'non-dual' jargon.

Once a player in "The Mind Games",
I now seek refuge in the simplicity of the Heart,
and a more "direct experience" of what cannot be
defined by words and abstractions; not philosophical,
existential conundrums that boggle and confuse, but
a simple truth,
untethered and unencumbered...

I'd rather step into the unknown
and be free, than be tethered to the
certainties of noisy words and abstract
mind games that parade as truth.

Without those, I am free to BE - who I am,
as I am;
a unique expression of "The Ineffable Mystery" of Life
that animates my being -
living from the simplicity of the Heart...

The dissolution itself is initiation
as it offers vision not available
in the scramble to put things back together.

An old part of ourselves that has accompanied us for so long,
a fellow traveler is no longer permitted
to continue the journey by our side.
The crumbling of an old dream –
my life and the way I was so sure
it was going to turn out.

We practice letting go of judgments.
As a beginning meditator,
I certainly had a tendency to judge
the way I was performing this new task:

My breath isn't good enough, deep enough,
broad enough, subtle enough, clear enough.
I found that I loaded on to the simple act of breathing
all sorts of pronouncements and projections
about what kind of person I was.

Returning to the breath,
letting go of these judgments,
birth to compassion to myself.

We become aware of a calm, stable center
that can steady us even when our lives are in upheaval.
The better you get at concentrating your attention
on the chosen object, the breath,
the deeper the stillness and calm you feel.

As your mind withdraws from obsessive thinking,
fruitless worry, and self-recrimination,
you feel a sense of refuge.
You have a safe place to go,
and it's within.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water,
and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives
with forethought of grief.

For a time
I rest in the grace of the world,
and am free.
~Wendell Berry
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/12/16/31258/

Nature is such a source of solace for many of us.
Imagine a place right now where
you have gone to rest in the grace of the world
and experienced freedom and
the peace of wild things.

Breathe in the beauty of this memory.
Consider that Creation
is the original icon
revealing the face of the Holy.

Nature is a holy text for me, an icon,
a window to the divine presence
at work in the world.

Just as we spend time gazing
upon an icon or our beloved,
we can also allow our gaze to be drawn to nature,
this most holy and splendid of sights.

I can spend hours meditating
with ocean waves lapping the shore,
contemplating the ancient witness
of grand red cedar trees,
delighting in geese flying in patterns of support.

Gazing is an act of loving reverence,
a perspective that opens me up to transformation.
Icon spaces invite me to linger, to relish, to admire.

I imagine those ancient poets
who wrote the psalms of creation,
celebrating God's grandeur and mystery.
Nature is an icon
that slowly shifts beneath my gaze,
revealing a God who is constantly creating.

From this viewpoint,
I become aware of a holy presence,
the Great Artist, at work in the world around me,
and I begin to connect deeply
to the divine slowly at work within me,
crafting and shaping my life,
inviting me here this day
to sit in stillness
and witness
to the beauty of the world.

May this be a morning of innocent beginning,
When the gift within you slips clear
Of the sticky web of the personal
With its hurt and hauntings,
And fixed fortress corners,

A morning when you become a pure vessel
For what wants to ascend from silence, ...

... May your imagination know
The grace of perfect danger,
To reach beyond imitation,
And the wheel of repetition,
Deep into the call of all
The unfinished and unsolved...

... Until the veil of the unknown yields
And something original begins
To stir toward your senses
And grow stronger in your heart.

In ( the world of ) existence
myriads of seas and fishes
prostrate themselves in adoration
before that munificence and bounty.

How many rain of largess

was made thereby to scatter pearls!

How many of generosity
hath shone, so that cloud and sea
.... learned to be bountiful!

He who keeps no secret has no depth;
his heart is like a vessel turned upside down.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/say/gayan_boulas.htm

Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan:
The secret of all attainment is centered in reserve.
Spiritual or material,
when a person has told his plans to others,
he has let out the energy that he should have kept
as a reservoir of power for the accomplishment of his object.

... The teaching, 'Be wise as a serpent,' may be interpreted,
'Be quiet as a serpent.'
It is quietude that gives wisdom and power.
The thought held in mind speaks to the mind of another,
but the thought spoken out most often
only reaches the ears of a person.
Every plan has a period of development;
and if man has power over his impulse,
by retaining the thought silently in mind,
he allows the plan to develop
and to take all necessary changes
that it may take for its culmination.

But when the impulse expresses the thought,
it so to speak 'puts out the flame,'
thus hindering the development of the plan.
The wise speak with their mind many times
before they speak about it to anybody.

~~~ "Githa I, Sadhana 7, The Path of Attainnment"
by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)

I say,
"Without the control over your  lips
you will not be able to develop inspiration."

As a poet has said,
"When the shell closes its lips, then the pearl develops in it."
... the more you are able to keep your secret in your heart,
greater you become.
You have more weight,
your personality becomes more reliable,
more dependable.
As it is said in Vadan that
it is best to
say something without saying.

   ~~~ "Sangatha II, Secrecy on the Path of Truth", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)

As soon as a person thinks, 'I am more,'
the doors of knowledge are closed.
He will no more be able to widen his knowledge
because automatically,
the doors of his heart are closed
the moment he says,
'I know.'

Spiritual knowledge, the knowledge of life,
is so intoxicating, so exalting,
it gives such a great joy,
that one begins to pour out one's knowledge
before anyone who comes along
as soon as this knowledge springs up.

But if at that time the disciple could realize
that he should conserve that kindling of the light,
reserve it, keep it within himself and let it deepen,
then his words would not be necessary
and his presence would enlighten people.

As soon as the spring rises and he pours forth
what comes out of that spring in words,
although on the one side his vanity will be satisfied,
on the other side his energy will be exhausted.

The little spring that had risen,
he has poured out before others
and he remains without power.
This is why reserve is taught to the true disciple,
the conserving of inspiration and power.

The one who speaks is not always wise;
it is the one who listens who is wise.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/X/X_2_8.htm

The more one knows the secret of the world
the more one feels inclined to keep it secret.
And the more one keeps secret what one knows
the more life unfolds its secrets to one.
...  it must be remembered that the power of the body is nothing in comparison with the power of the mind.
And the power of the one who keeps a secret
is greater than the power of the giant
who lifts a mountain.
All that one holds is preserved,
all that one lets go is dispersed.

has no depth in his heart.

Don’t depend on others to give you
that which life is waiting to offer you.
Don’t look to others to affirm
that you’re beautiful and powerful and strong.

Instead, breathe in the beauty of the dawn,
find your strength by embracing new challenges
with courage and let your pleasant company
be found in the extraordinary
manifestations of nature.

"I am not I" "Primal Repose" The Language of Original Being

https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/i-am-not-i-primal-repose-the-language-of-original-being-sunriseafternoon-december-13-2015

AFTERNOON

There is a very important moment when you listen inside,
when you listen to the listening itself.
When you are aware in listening, there is no listener
and nothing is listened to.

There is only Listening.

It is tremendous to discover oneself in listening.
But first there is Listening to an object,
then comes listening to ourself.

When listening is Silence,
our musical instrument, our body,
is completely penetrated by this objectless Listening.

Then there is something born
that is beyond the human being.

You are not body, senses and mind.
Really live in the absence of what you are not
and this reality will be the background of life.

Live in the absence of yourself.

In the absence of yourself there is presence.
We should take every opportunity
to listen to ourselves
without directing,
without changing,
or looking for something new.

When we listen to ourselves and sustain the listening,
there’s transformation,
there’s a kind of metamorphosis.

This directionless Listening
is fixed neither in the forehead,
nor in the heart,
nor in the abdominal region.
Listening is absolutely objectless.

It is really a bird that flies everywhere.
See when it lands.

The moment you become aware that you fix it,
in that awareness an emptiness will appear
and this becomes openness.
Don’t put the bird in a cage.
Open all the doors.

Abandon all residue in the forehead.
Only then can knowledge become being the knowing.
Knowledge takes place in the forehead,
in front of you.
Being knowing is localized nowhere.
But temporarily it is localized as if behind you.

This feeling of going behind is very important
because it takes you away from
the factory of thoughts in the forehead.

When you are localized behind you
at the base of the skull,
you cannot think.

Even the impulse to think dies down.
No formulation can occur when you are localized behind.

But eventually even this subtle localization dissolves
and you find yourself nowhere,
living in nowhere.
Keep the flavor of our meeting alive.

-Jean Klein

That which we do not bring into consciousness

John Prendergast - The Deep Heart

In the room of lovers
I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances.
RUMI

THERE IS A LIGHT in the core of our being that calls us home
— one that can only be seen with closed eyes.
We can feel it as a radiance in the center of our chest.
This light of loving awareness is always here,
regardless of our conditioning.

It does not matter how many dark paths we have traveled
or how many wounds we have inflicted or sustained
as we have unknowingly stumbled toward this inner radiance.
It does not matter how long we have sleepwalked,
seduced by our desires and fears.

This call persists until it is answered,
until we surrender to who we really are.
When we do, we feel ourselves at home wherever we are.
A hidden beauty reveals itself in our ordinary life.

As the true nature of our Deep Heart is unveiled,
we feel increasingly grateful for no reason
— grateful to simply be.

Rumi discovered this truth eight hundred years ago,
as have ordinary people like you and me.
It is the call from the depths of every human heart.
It is the call from your heart as you read these words and
something within you stirs in recognition.

Rightly understood, everything that happens invites us to
recognize this heart-oriented way of being, knowing, and feeling.

AFTERNOON

The density and solidity of the body
and the otherness of the world
are penetrated and suffused
with the light of pure knowing,
God’s infinite being,
and are gradually outshone by it.
The body becomes impersonal like the world,
and the world becomes intimate like the body.

"You begin to recognize Love infuses everything. Your own heart is the wind,
it is the trees, it is the earth.
It is even in the conflicts which arise,
in the pain that comes up.

It is the storm, it is the open sky,
it is totality.

It excludes nothing and embraces everything.
And in this embrace there is but one taste
and that is the taste of Love."

It is not a sin to be happy
December 10, 2019
by Paulo Coelho

“We must care for our body. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and deserves our respect and affection.
We must make the best use of our time.
We must fight for our dreams,
and concentrate our efforts to that end.

But we must not forget that life
is made up of small pleasures.
They were placed here to encourage us,
assist us in our search,
and provide moments of surcease
from our daily battles.

It is not a sin to be happy.

There is nothing wrong in
-from time to time-
breaking certain rules regarding diet,
sleep and happiness.

Do not criticize yourself if
-once in a while-
you waste your time on trifles.

These are the small pleasures that stimulate us.

The Traveler
- David-Neel and Lama Yongden

The traveler who finds his road blocked by a river will use
a raft to reach the opposite shore,
but, this shore, once reached,
he will not take the raft on his shoulders
while continuing his journey.

He will abandon it as something
which has become useless.

The raft represents the different kinds of methods, intellectual training, or moral discipline,
which are available as means to
bring the seeker of liberation
to the "other shore."

On this shore,
both have lost their value;
they bear no relation to the conditions
existing on the "other shore" and,
like the raft in the parable,
they are only a useless burden...

To go beyond virtue and vice, opinions and beliefs,
is to go beyond the mental constructions
which are built by the mind, unceasingly,
and to recognize,
by transcendent insight,
that they are void of reality.

It is also to recognize,
by transcendent insight,
that which has been imagined as practicing virtue,
surrendering to vice,
as holding opinions and elaborating theories,
as traveling towards a goal and reaching a goal,
is nothing but
an inconsistent phantom,
devoid of reality.

AFTERNOON

A simple walk on the beach
becomes an experience of cosmic joy
and at the same time,
remains just a simple walk on the beach.

I’m just little me,
and yet also I am the beach
and the shells
and the ocean
and the horizon.

Nothing has changed
and yet everything has changed.

I am walking through me.

“I” has been assimilated
by the totality
and I have assimilated the totality
and it’s just very amazing
and yet totally ordinary.

Consciousness is walking
through consciousness.
It’s so obvious.
How could I have missed it before?
– Verse 15 Pondering, p 113

WELL WORTH THE SATURATION!

Power of the Word,
- that we can one day find anew

You all know the wonderful tales where the magician or the sorceress only has to utter a few words to conjure up a castle, or tables covered with the most delectable dishes,
or
a great bird on which to travel through space
and so forth.

These stories are not pure inventions,
they have meaning –
they remind us of a time long ago
when humans possessed the magic word.
But little by little,
as they sunk down into matter,
humans lost their power over it,
and were no longer able to master it.

Every day, people must grapple with matter
so as to shape it, draw subsistence from it,
find shelter and make the objects they need,
and it constantly offers up resistance.

In reality,
the power of the Word
has not been definitively taken away from humans,
and they are capable of finding it again,
provided they undertake
a great work of inner transformation.

We can define the Word
as the synthesis of all expressions of psychic life.

This work of transformation therefore begins with the mastery of thoughts, feelings and desires.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Wednesday, December 11, 2019

Even if human beings aren’t aware of it,
all of them come to earth with the imprints
of what they experienced in the heavenly regions with God.
This life is recorded within them as an indelible memory, which is why they sometimes feel nostalgia for it.

Sometimes, an encounter, a face, a reading, a landscape,
an image, or music awakens a distant memory within them.
They again experience a few moments of paradise, they feel inhabited by peace and light.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t last;
and when the time comes to resume their daily activities, they fail to realize that there is something
they could do to retain these states,
and they even forget them.

Far from God, far from the spiritual sun,
humans gradually lose every opportunity to live and manifest themselves with joy, love and freedom.

They could very easily lead their earthly lives and fulfill their obligations and still maintain their bond with him.

But this obviously requires a lot of vigilance and,
when they feel they are drifting away,
they must do everything to find their way back.

4:50 AM-12/10/19

Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan:
There are two deaths, the inner and the external.
The first is going into the center,
the second going into the vastness.

~~~ "Sangatha II, Tasawwuf ",
by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)

There is a [Hadith] which says: Mutu kubla anta mutu, which means, 'Die before death.'
A poet says,
'Only he attains to the peace of the Lord who loses himself.'
God said to Moses, 'No man shall see me and live.'
To see God we must be non-existent.
What does all this mean?
It means that when we see our being with open eyes,
we see that there are two aspects to our being:
the false and the true.
The false life is that of the body and mind,
which only exists as long as the life is within.
In the absence of that life the body cannot go on.

We mistake the true life for the false,
and the false for the true.

Dying is this:
when there is a fruit or something sweet and good to taste,
the child comes to its mother and says,
'Will you give it to me?'
Although it would have given pleasure to the mother to eat it,
she gives it to the child.
The eating of it by the child is enjoyed by the mother.
That is death.

She enjoys her life in the joy of another.
Those who rejoice in the joy of another,
though at their own expense,
have taken the first step towards true life.

... If we enjoy a beautiful thing so much that we would like to have it, and then give that joy to another,
enjoying it through his experience,
we are dead.
That is our death.
Yet, we live more than he.
Our life is much vaster, deeper, greater.

Seemingly it is a renunciation, an annihilation,
but in truth it is a mastery.
The real meaning of crucifixion is to crucify this false self,
and so resurrect the true self.
As long as the false self is not crucified,
the true self is still not realized.
By Sufis it is called Fana, annihilation.
All the attempts made by true sages and seekers
after real truth are for the one aim
of attaining to everlasting life.
from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VII/VII_26.htm

We love our body and identify ourselves with it
to such an extent that we are very unhappy
to think that this body, which is so dear to us,
will some day be in the grave.

No one likes to think that it will die and be destroyed.
But the soul is our true self.
It existed before our birth
and
will exist after our death.
from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/V/V_2.htm

The soul is our real being,
through which we realize and are conscious of our life.
When the body, owing to loss of strength and magnetism,
has lost its grip upon the mind,
the seeming death comes;
that which everybody calls death.

Then the soul's experience of life
remains only with one vehicle,
that is the mind,
which contains within itself a world of its own,
photographed from one's experience
on earth on the physical plane.

This is heaven if it is full of joy,
and it is hell if it is filled with sorrow. ...

But the soul is alive.
It is the spirit of the eternal Being,
and it has no death.
It is everlasting.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/V/V_45.htm

The Moment Just Before

In the silence of a mid-winter dusk,
there is a sound so faint
that for all you can tell it may be
only the sound of the silence itself.

You hold your breath to listen.
You are aware of the beating of your heart.
The extraordinary thing that is about to happen
is matched only by the extraordinary moment
just before it happens.

Advent is the name of that moment.
Frederick Buechner

Advent:
The advent of something means that it's finally here.
You might be waiting for the advent of a new iPhone
or for the advent of cloning.
Don't hold your breath.
Generally, the noun advent is used
for the introduction
of something important.

Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive,

Because what the world needs
is people who have come alive.

All quotes below in this font from
Wu Hsin

This life is like
The wind:
One cannot know it directly.
It can only be known
Through its expressions.

While Wu Hsin has grown older,
While his body has changed,
Presence remained unaltered throughout.
To take the changeful
For the changeless, is
The primary delusion.

To be fully accepting of
What-Is in every moment,
Eliminates fear and anxiety,
Expectation and desire.
This is the natural way to
Set things right.

Once there is the apperception that
One is but an instrument of
The Source of all things,
On can do what one pleases and
Live in whatever manner one chooses.
To relinquish the focus on
I was, and
The focus on I will be and
To remain foxed on I am,
The very seat of being,
The fundamental presence, is to
Return to the beginning,
To the Seed of Life
That one has never truly been left.

Digestion is a process.
Thinking is a process.
Just as there is no digester, likewise
There is no thinker.
Thoughts appear.
Inquire onto what
Do they appear.
Being, expressed through the mind, is
I am.
This is the undeniable root.
Anything added to I am is
A moment away from it.

Joy is the inevitable result of gentleness.
Gentleness means that fear is now impossible,

The open hands of gentleness are always filled.

They are sure they are beloved and must be safe.
Joy goes with gentleness
as surely as grief attends attack.

HOLY FOOL WISDOM "..mature innocence..." "Control is an illusion." "...getting lost in regression and solitude;" December 6, 2019

LOST & FOUND
IN “REGRESSION & SOLITUDE”
WAY OF THE HOLY FOOL*
ew
6:22 AM-12/6/19
*See Quotes in Sunrise Section below

Below in this font...quotes shared here:
https://theawakenedeye.com/tag/michael-leunig/

It is a way of painting.
It is a way of living.
It is a way of transcending the banal inhibited self
and
finding the divine.

It is a struggling downward journey –
this stumbling, daring and devout pilgrimage
back to mature innocence and raw beauty;
to the sublime joy and the natural intelligence
and wisdom of the holy fool.

The artist needs to know how to lose the plot
– how to not care and how to not know –
and how to actually enjoy that freedom
and understand what a blessed revitalizing state
all of that mess can be.

The most joyous painting is not done for the art world,
it is done for the inner world;
it is a self delighting other-worldly thing –
a getting lost in regression and solitude;
a sub-literate, semi-delirious way to be
with the spirited little fool in the depths
of one’s being for a while –
there to invent one’s art freely,
and there to find enchantment,
infinite surprise and the bright wondrous question
‘What is this?’

Dear God,
We pray for another way of being:
another way of knowing.
Across the difficult terrain of our existence
we have attempted to build a highway
and in so doing have lost our footpath.
God lead us to our footpath:
Lead us there where in simplicity
we may move at the speed of natural creatures
and feel the earth’s love beneath our feet.

Lead us there where step-by-step we may feel
the movement of creation in our hearts.
And lead us there where side-by-side
we may feel the embrace of the common soul.
Nothing can be loved at speed.
God lead us to the slow path; to the joyous insights
of the pilgrim; another way of knowing: another way of being.
Amen.

AFTERNOON

Attempting to control external events
will never keep us safe.

Control is an illusion.

Whatever we try to control, we separate from ourselves.
Whatever we try to fix, we ruin.
Life is sacred, and flows exactly as it should.

From The Tao Te Ching
– Chapter 29

VULNERABLE COURAGE
William Martin
https://freedomsimplicityandjoy.wordpress.com/2019/12/04/vulnerable-courage/

To be alive is to be vulnerable.
There is no option.
Yet how desperately we work to escape,
deny, and hide that essential fact.
This effort is a tragic waste of time.
Not only is it futile,
it diverts energy
away from
creativity, love and courage.

Only by accepting and embracing
our existential vulnerability
can we possibly find
the adult courage and creativity
necessary for true transformation of our culture.
Only thus can we free ourselves
from manipulation that draws its power
from our fear.

Perhaps, as we as individuals step
into our own “courage to be,”
we will stop looking to others to hide our fears.

Perhaps, as we face the vulnerability of our lives
and find that we have courage and strength
beyond our expectations,
we will no longer tolerate
denial and pseudo-strength in leaders.

Perhaps facing into a severe winter
in simple surroundings is
an act of political agitation.

Perhaps facing whatever we face in life
without denial is a political coup.

Perhaps
the “courage to be”
is the most powerful act of revolution.

To be free,
One must untie oneself from
The seeming independent entity called me.

Connected to the roots of my being
I am strong

Now I can dance in the wind
giving in to its playful caresses
And when the rains pour
I can let myself be drenched

Now I can be the leaf that falls
and the branch that withers
And when spring rolls around
I can let myself be reborn

Knowing, being, what I am
I am stable
Now this body can be supple
and sweet

Stillness and movement as one

Birthing and dying as one

Knowing myself as the unknown

AFTERNOON

There Is Room in the Heart
- Ameeta

What distresses you
my friend?

Isn't it mostly
what your mind says
should not be?

The mind says
it should not be
and yet it is.

There is room
you know
there is room
in the heart
for what the mind
won't allow.

(no people on beach either direction
the whole time i was there this afternoon!)
