TRUTH IS EVERYWHERE
JOHN MCINTOSH

Truth is everywhere.
Only the false self gives Truth a ‘location’, which is ever present.
The advent of mass communication
is a mirror for ONE-ness hidden in plain sight.

Despite being tainted
by the collective conditioning of humanity,
it makes available ‘the voice of silence’
in a non-intrusive manner
that the body-mind-identity
does not innately and instantly resist.

Each one’s unique world is precisely sculpted
from their own conditioning
reflecting who they are NOT,
while alluding to Who They Really Are.

The entertainment industry has for decades
dropped ‘hints’ about Truth
[whether it was aware of doing it or not].
“The Force be with you”
is perhaps one of the most recognized quotes
of the last century.
Fairy tales abound with metaphors
about the dream the world is
and action-comics
[which now dominate theater blockbusters]
foster the concept of the God within.

The nudge of Truth
comes through any available
‘chink in the armor’ of resistance to tug-at-the-sleeve
of the deep sleeping God-SELF
and stimulates the natural Divine Discontent
inbred into every walking god
who still slumbers in the grand dream.

Suffering is the primary means
of bringing the stubborn sleeper
to the alter of Truth
but ‘hints’ are everywhere and incessant....

...as the ONE Awareness
shakes IT SELF like a rag-doll
until Freedom receives
the focused Attention
that will clear
the ancient clouds of conditioning
that have
hidden Truth from IT SELF.

The Daily Lesson – June 16, 2019
Why should we need to use power if there is only one power — God?
What would we want to use it for, on whom, or on what?
And why do we need any power to correct a belief in two powers?
When, through practice, we have trained ourselves
so that we no longer use the power of mind
or try to use the power of Spirit,
we are in spiritual consciousness
and we have the secret of spiritual power.
~Joel S Goldsmith
A PARENTHESIS IN ETERNITY

Mark 10:17,18 (KJV)
17 And when he was gone forth into the way,
there came one running, and kneeled to him,
and asked him,
Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him,
Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one,
that is, God.

Luke 12:27 (KJV)
27 Consider the lilies how they grow:
they toil not, they spin not;
and yet I say unto you,
that Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.

Psalm 62:1 (KJV)
62 Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.

God is Absolute,
Unconditional and Infinitely Omnipresent.
All we need to develop is an Awareness of that Fact.
And all that is left is a smile…
~Al Denninger

Love and death are the great gifts that are given to us;
mostly they are passed on unopened.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

there is this moment when you cannot turn away
inquiry for today~ look back on this day as a true beginning....

https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/06/16/29796/

You cannot rise in love,
you cannot fly in love,
you cannot stand in love –
you have to fall in love. ...

... If you want to know the magic of emotion,
something of you has to fall.

After… and as the above flows thru fingers…
a cascade of gentle memories Arise to/thru consciousness
from lifetime(s) of so many clues
re: the above “condition”
(of "Afterlife" Consciousness
as Truth of Being)
that have happened since earliest earthly memory
this lifetime and before/after.
ONLY THIS VAST SILENCE IS REAL…

...PS: the below quote from John O'Donohue was read immediately AFTER this morning's Whisper Worded
...Synchronicities are NOW more and more a Way of Life...

When you forget or repress the truth and depth
of your invisible belonging
and decide to belong
to some system, person, or project,
you short-circuit your longing
and squander your identity.

To have true integrity, poise, and courage
is to be attuned to
the silent and invisible nature within you.

Real maturity is the integrity
of inhabiting that "immortal longing"
that always calls you to new horizons.

Your true longing is to belong
to the eternal that echoes continually
in everything that happens to you.

Real power has nothing to do with
force, control, status, or money.

Real power is the persistent courage
to be at ease with the unsolved and the unfinished.

To be able to recognize,
in the scattered graffiti of your desires,
the signature of the eternal.
~John O'Donohue

What has changed in Yolande is not what she sees.
Yolande still sees the contents of the world
just like any other individual
holding on to their belief of being a person.

What has changed in Yolande is her point of view.
Her look is no longer focused through her physical eyes
or through the limited sense perception
based on fear of pain and search for pleasure.

Yolande looks out from eternity,
free from time and space,
from birth and death.

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.

The people of the town began to wonder
what magic could there be and what attraction,
that whoever climbed over 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.

Hazrat Inayat Khan

the important thing is the tear falling down your cheek
miriam louisa

THERE'S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO HAVE A GOOD CRY

When the courage (le cœur: heart, French) to sit still and see what might bubble up from the heart’s cauldron finds us –
and finds us innocent of any agenda to analyse,
to fix or flee, tears will most assuredly flow.

I was already ancient when, by some wild grace,
courage found me and guided me into my body’s dark knowledge.
(I wrote about it in this post
at my ‘echoes from emptiness’ blog –
following fear into the star-stuff of my cells).
(https://echoesfromemptiness.com/2017/10/30/following-fear-into-the-star-stuff-of-my-cells/)

In my cocksure ignorance I assumed
it would all be done and dusted within a modest time-frame.

Three years later the tears are still falling,
the heart is still cracking, crumbling, awash in tenderness,
trembling with bliss.

(Yes, bliss – I had no idea that bliss
is simply the opening of the heart.)

Yet now the tears arise from a depth beyond the personal,
from a well of sorrow that’s ownerless.

Personally I don’t feel the need for notions of karma and reincarnation,
but my lived experience shows me
that whatever is happening here
is dynamically all-inclusive
and interpenetrating across time and space.

No separation can be found.
The tears belong to all of us because there is only one of us.

More from miriam louisa

WHAT I LOVE:
Making things.
Marveling at the way the stepping stones
form under my feet when I’m walking the via creativa
without fear of the unknown.

The joy of watching students awaken to their authenticity,
both in visual language and in the big artwork of Life.
And last but not least – the unknowable Bright,
the silence behind everything thought, experienced or created.

In another age I might have been called a mystic,
but I’m much too greedy for Life to be a true contemplative.

Everything I hunger for is right here under my nose,
in the everyday moment-by-moment miracle of Creation.
Not even under my nose –
it’s inseparable from this matrix called ‘me’.

To give that immensity expression in a way that beckons,
touches and embraces viewers
with an ineffable yet tangible blessing –
that’s what really interests me.

– Miriam Louisa Simons, 2016

All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

O, friend! Nobody veils you, but yourself.
In your path there is no thorn or weed, but yourself.
You asked: shall I reach the Beloved or not?
Between you and the Beloved
there is nobody,
but yourself.

I think the most essential thing in one's life is silence.
What is silence?
We think if we are quiet, we are silent.
But we must come to silence without desire and wanting,
otherwise we are not silent.
~ Tara Singh
The Voice That Precedes Thought
https://www.josephplan.org/bio_TaraSingh.html

Touched by the memory
of God,
we are here
to change the destiny of stars.

The memory of God
is an impeccable space
intact within each one
guarded by His Grace.

The remembrance is not verbal.
It is a Presence.
You attain it not through learning.

Every time you love another
it is in remembrance of God.
When you are transformed
the whole world is affected.

Once your eyes are open
you see the perfection in everything.
You are never part of
the idiosyncracies of another person,
for you do not relate at that level.
You relate from a state of love
in which both become one.

Do not ever underestimate yourself
- that is a denial of your glory.
Nothing exists in this universe
that is not to serve you.

All the benedictions of Heaven
are upon the person
who wants to discover the perfection
within himself.

https://www.josephplan.org/quotes.html

Love is the only thing which will give an answer to all our problems..
Be alone, sometimes,
and if you are lucky it might come to you,
on a falling leaf,
or from that distant solitary tree
in an empty field.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

My secret is simple. I pray.
Mother Teresa

Sitting quietly, doing nothing.
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.
Zen poem

The teachers of God have trust in the world,
because they have learned
it is not governed by the laws the world made up.

It is governed by a Power That is in them but not of them.
It is this Power That keeps all things safe.
A Course In Miracles

Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty.
Let us strive to deserve...the continued care of Divine Providence,
trusting that, in future national emergencies,
He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security.
Destroy that spirit,
and you have planted the seeds of despotism
around your own doors.
Abraham Lincoln

The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed
than he who reads them,
inasmuch as he who knows nothing
is nearer the truth than he whose mind is filled
with falsehoods and errors.
Thomas Jefferson

Peace of the world lies not in inventions but in men’s hearts and men’s souls...
to sustain life, we need less rather than more;
to protect life, we need courage and integrity,
not weapons, not coalitions.
Henry David Thoreau

There are different kinds of poverty.
In India some people live and die in hunger.
There, even a handful of rice is precious.

“But in the West you have another kind of poverty, spiritual poverty.
This is far worse....

You have the poverty of people who are dissatisfied with what they have,
who do not know how to suffer, who give in to despair.
This poverty of heart is often more difficult to relieve and to defeat.
In the West you have many more broken homes,
neglected children, and divorce on a huge scale.
Mother Theresa

Love is not love if it can be turned to hate.
Real relationship is not affected
by one person’s agreeing or disagreeing with another.
It is a space beyond likes and dislikes,
beyond good and bad,
where everything is reconciled and seen in a new light.
Tara Singh

AN ENDLESS LOOP

JOHN MCINTOSH

Whenever you acknowledge that you are NOT Free
and that you must ‘do’ something to become Free
[to find out Who You Really Are],
you place Freedom out in the future
where it does NOT exist.

Virtually all spiritual ‘paths’ … in some way,
are trapped in this ‘endless loop’
of ‘doing to get somewhere’.
Just the word ‘path’
suggests a journey
in space and time [separation].

Nevertheless,
the Attention on becoming Free
does have ‘some’ value in that it recognizes
that although you may believe
you are Now and have always been Free,
you are NOT experiencing Life in that way.

Life is always ‘whole’, always ‘complete’ – Now,
but if you are NOT experiencing this Truth,
Life always ‘feels’ limited
and
YOU ‘as’ YOU are NOT limited.

If you say: “I am Free” like an affirmation or a mantra …
this too suggests the ‘possession’ of something
and what can be possessed can be taken away.

You ‘are’ Freedom IT SELF,
which is another way of saying
you are Love IT SELF or Joy IT SELF …
or simply the SELF without any description,
empty, nothing
yet having infinite potential
to manifest as
ALL THAT IS.

Attention on the SELF
[I AM THAT I AM]
as your ONE and only Reality
allows you to more easily see
whatever is ‘unlike’ the SELF,
‘exposed’ as who you are NOT.

Anything … which has a beginning and an ending
‘is’ NOT Who You Are …
it is unreal, and this represents
virtually everything you experience in your world
including your body-mind-identity.

The more the false self is ‘exposed’
the more it sinks back
into the SELF,
which more and more becomes
your ‘every’ experience.
John McIntosh
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/an-endless-loop

It is not through the great skill of the hunter himself
that success is achieved,
but through the hunter's awareness
of his place in Creation
and his relationship to all things.

The Daily Lesson – June 5, 2019
If God is omnipresence, we must be the very presence of God. That must mean that there is no other presence, and even we, then, have no presence. Why? Because God fills all space, and that does not leave any room for us, except in the degree that we are a part of that Omnipresence. This wipes out that false selfhood, that ego-selfhood, and leaves only the divine Selfhood which we are.
~Joel S Goldsmith
Parenthesis in Eternity

Jeremiah 23:23, 24 (KJV)
23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
Ephesians 1:23 (KJV)
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Job 32:8 (KJV)
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Ephesians 3:16,17 (KJV)
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

We are each an individual Expression of God,
and joint heirs of His Kingdom.
If God is Present within us,
then we are Present and Included in His Kingdom.
And so, God Performeth that which is appointed us to do…

Hafiz - Song of Freedom

Last night, midnight became
an exalted dawn.....

.....as they kissed the grief
from my mouth and breathed
the breath of life between these lips.
In that holy darkness, they let me
drink from the Waters of Life.

The light of love poured
through me until I fell down drunk,
reeling in ecstasy.
This cup has spilled over!
Now the wine of reflection shows
only the beloved’s grace.

What a glorious midnight!
What a blessed darkness
when, on that Night of Great Reward,
I finally received the deed
to the fortune of my soul.

From now on, my face
is the mirror which everywhere
reflects love’s ultimate beauty.
In the splendor of this place,
I saw all the wonders of eternity revealed.

So does it really surprise you
that I dance through the streets
singing out joy for all those
privileged enough to have ears?
For this, I received the alms of my salvation.

For on that day,
the Unseen Messenger brought me
this magnificent news:
Tyranny and grief can never prevail over
patience and the steadfast heart.

These, my friend, were
the keys to my freedom.
All the sugar pouring from my words
is the sweet reward of patience.
For this, they gave me the whole cane stalk!

Rejoice! The aspiration of Hafiz
and the breath of all believers
who rise with the sun and with God
have broken the heavy chains of
illusion and set me free.

NEUTRAL
JOHN MCINTOSH

Neutral does not express opinions.
It does not resist, complain,
react or judge.
It ‘observes’.

If you are driving a stick shift automobile
in either forward or backward,
and then shift into ‘neutral’
the car will continue moving for a while
due to the already existing momentum.
This is true of your life experiences as well.

In the neutral position of non-reaction … of observation,
you will still experience some of the momentum
of a given situation,
but you will NOT be adding to it.

The Dog Innately Knows "NEUTRAL" he was VERY STILL....watching me as i returned from sunrise beach...

In spiritual terms
you will not be creating more karma
with which to express the same ‘type’
of experience again.

This is saying YES to ‘What IS’.
This means that the ‘conditioning’
that defines the false-self-identity
[attachments, expectations and identifications]
is NOT being ‘Expanded’
… it is being witnessed or observed
as something which is
NOT who you are.

The false self will complain
that this is boring or not living
because it requires constant ‘involvment in activity’
in order to ‘feel’ alive despite its roller coast ride
between happiness and sorrow.

The addiction to this constant ‘ride’
must burn out before ‘Neutral’
becomes ‘consistently’ appealing, ...

.....but there is no need to force it
your Freedom is inevitable
because that ‘is’
Who You Really Are.

AFTERNOON

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
when we escape like squirrels turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forests again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us so that we do not know ourselves.

Cool, undying life will rush in,
passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.

Farewell Letter - David Whyte

She wrote me a letter
after her death
and I remember
a kind of happy light
falling on the envelope
as I sat by the rose tree
on her old bench
at the back door,
so surprised by its arrival
wondering what she would say,
looking up before I could open it
and laughing to myself
in silent expectation.

Dear son, it is time
for me to leave you.
I am afraid that the words
you are used to hearing
are no longer mine to give.

They are gone and mingled
back in the world
where it is no longer
in my power
to be their first
original author
not their last loving bearer.

You can hear
motherly affection now
only from your own mouth
and only
when you speak them
to those
who stand
motherless
before you.

As for me I must forsake
adulthood
and be bound gladly
to a new childhood.

You must understand
this apprenticeship
demands of me
an elemental innocence
from everything
I ever held in my hands.

I know your generous soul
is well able to let me go...

[.....]

I find myself
after loving you all so long,
in the wide
infinite mercy
of being mothered myself.

P.S. All your intuitions are true.

David Whyte

Thank you to - The Beauty We Love

AFTERNOON

You are neither the body nor in the body --
there is no such thing as body.
You have grievously misunderstood yourself;
to understand rightly — investigate.
...
You must come to a firm decision.
You must forget the thought that you are the body
and be only the knowledge ‘I am’,
which has no form, no name.
Just be.

When you stabilize in that beingness,
it will give all the knowledge and all the secrets to you,
and when the secrets are given to you,
you transcend the beingness,
and you, the Absolute
will know that you are also not the consciousness.

Having gained all this knowledge,
having understood what is what,
a kind of quietude prevails,
a tranquility.
Beingness is transcended,
but beingness is available.

—Nisargadatta Maharaj

Maharaj: There are may persons who have a great attachment to their own individuality.
They want first and foremost to remain as an individual and then search,
for they are not prepared to lose that individuality.
While retaining their identity,
they want to find out what is the truth.
But in this process,
you must get rid of the identity itself.

If you really find out what you are,
you will see that you are not an individual,
you are not a person,
you are not a body.
And people who cling to their body identity
are not fit for this knowledge.

The names and forms that appear,
with different colors and all that,
their origin is water.
But nobody says I'm water,
they say I am the body.

But if you see the origin of the body
then ultimately the body has appeared only from water.
All these plants and everything, all name and forms,
they appear from water only.
But still people don't identify themselves with water;
they say I am the body.

—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The Ultimate Medicine, Dialogues..

From the waters everything is made,
both what is manifest and what is Unmanifest.
Therefore, all manifestation (murti) is water.

—Prasna Upanishad

Remember, you are entirely on your own.
You must realize first of all that you are the proof of everything,
including yourself.
None can prove your existence,
because this existence must be confirmed by you first.

Your being and knowing you owe nobody.
You are entirely on your own.
You do not come from somewhere, you do not go anywhere.
You are timeless being and awareness.

—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

NO IDENTITY
JOHN MCINTOSH
What captivates … draws your attention toward it.
It does not matter if this attraction is pleasurable or uncomfortable … if it has your focus,
that makes it ‘expand’,
giving it Life.

This is how your dream world
constantly comes into being ‘as’ your reality.

Without your attention … on anything,
there ‘is’ no world – no dream.
What then is left, what remains?

Emptiness or Nothing-ness
is the Natural state in which Truth resides …
it ‘is’ Truth IT SELF …
it ‘is’ the Truth You Are.

This nothing-ness is without identity
and this is the greatest fear the false self has …
being nothing.

It is the dragon-at-the-door to Freedom
[which is a door-less door].

Taming this dragon means ‘not’ fearing it
and this fearlessness arises
as a result of taking
the Attention you are giving to the world dream
you have projected into your experience
and placing it on the door-less door
marked Freedom.

You may call this door
Truth or God or Love or ONE or I AM,
there are many names
which all mean the same thing.

You then surrender ‘all’ your Attention to that door
until your world dream dissolves …
not the projection of it in which you seem to reside,
but your obedience to it.
No identity = Nothing-ness = Freedom.
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/no-identity

Learn to take the
backward step that turns
the light and shines
it inward. Body and mind
of themselves will drop
away, and your original
face will manifest.
~Eihei Dogen
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/05/29/29667/

Discover yourself.
There is in the body
a current of energy, affection and intelligence,
which guides, maintains
and energizes the body.

Discover that current and stay with it.

poverty of the lover

The true lover gazes toward the reality of things:

My eyes so fix
upon your image
that whatever I gaze at
I imagine you.

Wherever he looks he finds that Face
and therefore needs everything he sees.

"Poverty is intrinsic need;
it has nothing to do with this or that."

And why does nothing need the lover?
One can only need something which exists.
But the lover, outwardly detached and inwardly disengaged,
has returned the robe of existence and all its trappings
- which he only held in trust -
... Again he has donned the patched cloak of his own nothingness.
"He is ... as he was in eternity-without-beginning,"
and in such a state, who needs him?

But...in poverty there comes a state
wherein the poor man himself needs nothing.
As one of them said,
"The poor man is not is not in need of God Himself!"
Need, after all, is an attribute of the existent;
but he who dives into the sea of nothingness
needs no more.
His poverty is complete.

You are nothing
when you wed the One;
but you are everything
when you become nothing.

~ Fakhruddin 'Iraqi
from Divine Flashes

https://beautywelove.blogspot.com/2013/04/poverty-of-lover.html

A lover doesn't figure the odds.

He figures he came clean from God
as a gift without a reason,
so he gives without cause
or calculation or limit.

A conventionally religious person
behaves a certain way
to achieve salvation.

A lover gambles everything, the self,
the circle around the zero! He or she
cuts and throws it all away.
This is beyond any religion.

Lovers do not require from God any proof,
or any text, nor do they knock on a door
to make sure this is the right street.
They run,
and they run.

AFTERNOON

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE
JOHN MCINTOSH

There is nothing to ‘fix’ … not in your own life,
humanity’s or the world itself.
Nothing is out of order.

Can a dream be somehow wrong?
It comes in brilliant Light or shadowed darkness but remains ‘only’ a dream.
Your body, your mind, your life experience … is all a dream.
It is not wrong, and you are NOT wrong … you are simply dreaming.
No matter how you tweak your dream
[try to fix yourself and the world],
it is still just a dream.

When you have had every dream experience [several times],
as if you had watched every movie ever produced,
the allure will have faded and the mind
that projected each dream-experience will also have dissolved
along with the person you call you.

This point of saturation arises for everyone
[who are also aspects of the grand dream] …
‘YOU’ are the only ONE there is
despite enormous evidence to the contrary.

As these words are written,
it is YOU who writes them.
Even ‘surrender’ is NOT a choice
but an inevitable aspect of the dream
that tells you dream stories about ‘free will and control’.

You ‘are’ God or ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness – NOW
… the dream you dream cannot change that.

There ‘is’ no possibility of you being
somehow ‘left out’ of this eventual Awareness.

When you at last become fully Aware of this single Truth,
your sojourn within the dream will become softer,
gentler and you will begin to see
God ‘in’ and ‘as’ everything.

Resistance will dwindle to ‘What Is’
and the Moment of full Awakening to Who You Really Are
will ‘rush’ to greet you
with the Love that IT ‘is’.

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.

Your Original Depth - Eckhart Tolle

Partly as a result of the spiritual teachings
that have arisen outside the established religions,
but also due to an influx of the ancient
Eastern wisdom teachings,
a growing number of followers of traditional religions
are able to let go of identification with form,
dogma, and rigid belief systems
and discover the original depth
that is hidden within themselves.

They realize that how 'spiritual'
you are has nothing to do with what you believe but everything to
do with your state of consciousness.
This, in turn, determines how
you act in the world and interact with others.

Many people are already aware
of the difference between spirituality and religion.
They realize that having a belief system
- a set of thoughts that you regard as absolute truth -
does not make you
spiritual no matter what the nature of those beliefs is.

In fact, the more you make your thoughts [beliefs]
into your identity,
the more cut off you are from
the spiritual dimension within yourself.

Many 'religious' people are stuck at that level.
They equate truth with thought,
and
as they are completely identified with thought
[their mind],
they claim to be in sole possession of the truth
in an unconscious attempt
to protect their identity.

What is arising now is not a new belief system, a new religion,
spiritual ideology, or mythology.
We are coming to an end,
not only of mythologies but also ideologies and belief systems.

The change goes deeper than the content of your mind,
deeper than your thoughts...
to your Original Depth...

Eckhart Tolle

People discuss dogmas, beliefs,
and moral principles,
as they know them.
But there comes a time in a man's life
when he has touched truth
of which he cannot speak in words;
and at that time all dispute,
discussion,
argument ends.

(Costing not less than everything) --
T. S. Eliot, Little Gidding, excerpt

Reality is merely an illusion,
although a very persistent one.
—Albert Einstein

We are like the spider.
We weave our life and then move along in it.
We are like the dreamer who dreams
and then lives in the dream.
This is true for the entire universe.
—The Upanishads...

Give up all.
The correct understanding will be
when you realize that whatever you have understood so far,
is invalid.

Give up all and you gain all.
Then life becomes what it was meant to be:
pure radiation from an inexhaustible source.

In that light the world appears dimly, like a dream.
—Nisargadatta Maharaj

As stars, a lamp, a fault of vision,

As dewdrops or a bubble,

A dream, a lightning flash, a cloud,

So one should see conditioned things.

Like all matter, that of our physical body is subject to time, and it wears out.
This is what we call growing old, and we all grow old,
which, of course, is not particularly pleasant.
But we are not just a physical body,
and if the wear of the body is in the natural order of things,
internally, nothing forces us to grow old with it.
Therefore,
instead of becoming upset about the physical manifestations of age,
humans should be concerned
with nurturing that which always keeps them young and alive:
their heart.

It is their heart, their capacity to love, not their body,
that makes humans young or old,
and if their heart ages, it is because they allow it to.

How so?
By losing their love for people and things,
by losing their curiosity and their interest for the life
that abounds all around them,
the rich and abundant life of the universe.

But if they strive to feel this life,
if they seek to participate in it,
to introduce it into themselves,
they will not grow old.

Virginia Woolf on Being Ill and the Strange Transcendence Accessible Amid the Terrors of the Ailing Body

https://mailchi.mp/brainpickings/virginia-woolf-robert-browning-cecilia-payne?e=bc3afd75c6
Quotes below in this color font are from this
EXCELLENT SHARING ABOVE Link

....the way we plunge into the universality of illness,
so universal as to border on the banal,
until we reach the rock bottom of utter existential aloneness:....

....That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groan,
of human beings so tied together by common needs and fears
that a twitch at one wrist jerks another,....

....where however strange your experience other people have had it too,
where however far you travel in your own mind someone has been there before you --
is all an illusion.

We do not know our own souls,
let alone the souls of others.

Human beings do not go hand in hand the whole stretch of the way.

There is a virgin forest in each;
a snowfield where
even the print of birds’ feet is unknown

Here we go alone, and like it better so.

Always to have sympathy,
always to be accompanied,
always to be understood
would be intolerable.

EXCELLENT SHARING-ABOVE link

But Alice’s most profound meditation on life and death was penned in a letter to her brother William a year earlier, after her terminal diagnosis had relieved the decades of uncertainty. Echoing Rilke’s assertion that “death is our friend precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here, that is natural, that is love,” she writes:
It is the most supremely interesting moment in life, the only one in fact when living seems life, and I count in the greatest good fortune to have these few months so full of interest and instruction in the knowledge of my approaching death. It is as simple in one’s own person as any fact of nature, the fall of a leaf or the blooming of a rose, and I have a delicious consciousness, ever present, of wide spaces close at hand, and whisperings of release in the air.

AFTERNOON

Brian Thompson - My breath is yours

Life,
is sustained by life.

This,
is living.

We rely upon one another.

There is no living,
outside of the continual process,
of our mutual interdependence;
which co-mingles with our pending,
temporal dissolution.

Life is change.
Life is impermanence.

There is no being without non-being.
From nothing comes something,
and to nothing, all things shall return.

Life requires life,
for without this principle,
no-thing could possibly be.

Life is seen
only through its own reflection.

Our only experience,
is that of ourselves.

There is only one life;
one consciousness, one awareness;
one spirit, one energy;
one source.

One life, being lived through infinite lives,
one life, being lived through infinite manifestations,
one life, as seen through infinite points of view.

One life,
appearing as an ever-flowing stream
of unique reflections.

Despite the infinite phenomena that appears to arise,
and no matter the myriad manifestations that seem to be,
there is only one underlying reality,
and it remains undivided,
empty of independent name or form,
pervading all that Is—and you are That.

One consciousness experiencing itself,
through all that it dreams into being.

Life is simply happening,
and you are That;
the essence in which
this present moment
is now happening.

Be not mistaken;
you are not subject to whatever happens,
for that is merely a conception of the mind,
a mental byproduct of the non-existent past.

What you are,
is the infinite field of awareness,
in which all happenings appear,
but you remain unaffected and free
from whatever form it assumes.

You are the theatre of consciousness,
in which all happenings appear;
remaining free of them all.

You are the knowing
that knows all that is known.

The eternal witness.

And this is the suchness
of our shared Universal Self;
an empty and limitless presence,
in which all of our human
conceptions, perceptions, and sensations
are imagined into being.

In truth,
no-thing can divide us,
regardless of the thoughts
that the mind tends to think
and project onto whatever we perceive.

We, the aware sentient,
are mutually interdependent,
co-arising together,
as a single and harmonious whole.

THE SWAN
This laboring of ours with all that remains undone,
as if still bound to it,
is like the lumbering gait of the swan.
And then our dying — releasing ourselves
from the very ground on which we stood --
is like the way he hesitantly lowers himself
into the water. It gently receives him,
and, gladly yielding, flows back beneath him,
as wave follows wave,
while he, now wholly serene and sure,
with regal composure,
allows himself to glide.

not the god of don’t,
not the god who does anything
weird,
but the god who only knows four words
and keeps repeating them, saying:
“Come dance with Me."....

The Trappist monk,
mystic and author Thomas Merton wrote of le point vierge
- the virgin point -
and described how there is "at the center of our being
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 inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind
or the brutalities of our own will".

Le point vierge is found in different forms
in the great wisdom traditions,
particularly in Sufism,
and it is from this tradition that
Thomas Merton developed his vision
of a point of pure truth.

This vision is also found in popular culture:
for instance in John Lennon's Imagine,
which
- in an unashamed hymn to le point vierge -
implores us to "imagine there is
no heaven..
no religion...
no countries..
no possessions".

This search for a point of nothingness
can be extended beyond faith traditions to cultural traditions,
and in an unstructured way I have in recent years
found myself exploring diverse overgrown paths
in search of the point
where dogma and conditioning disappear
and pure truth can be glimpsed.

At this central point
classical, sacred, world and all music fuse
into a single Nada Brahma,
and the great wisdom traditions
-- Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism --
coexist without conflict

Quotes Below in this font from:
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

In Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, where he (Thomas Merton) 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.

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.
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

The country which is nowhere is the real home.
His (Thomas Merton) 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.
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

“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.

The lesson was less about reacting to what the world was showing us
and more about creating our own rules for what we choose to experience.
The secret here is that our instructor was experiencing himself
from the perspective that he was already fixed
in one place on that mat.

In those moments,
he was living from the outcome of his meditation.

Until he chose
to break the chains in his imagination,
nothing could move him.
And that’s precisely what we found out.”

The Unbroken - Rashani Rea

There is a brokenness
out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness
out of which blooms the unshatterable.

There is a sorrow
beyond all grief which leads to joy
and a fragility
out of whose depths emerges strength.

There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness
we are sanctioned into being.

Note Heart Shape in Sun Reflection

here is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open to the place inside
which is unbreakable and whole,
while learning to sing.

AFTERNOON

There is no condition that you cannot modify into something more,
any more than there is any painting
that you can paint and not like
and just paint over it again.

There are many limiting thoughts in the human environment
that make it feel like it is not so,
as you have these incurable illnesses,
or these unchangeable conditions.

But we say, they are only “unchangeable”
because you believe that they are.

In the eternal moment,
the present moment, there is no "me"
and there is no duration---
no past, present and future.

And when there is no "me"
and no sense of duration,
all there is is that silence in which
conceptualization cannot take place.

Self-abidance cannot be acquired.
It is something which arises spontaneously

There is neither up nor down

nor without nor within.

All there is is Consciousness.
And this manifestation is an appearance within that Consciousness.
And even that appearance is only
an objective expression of the same Consciousness.
All there is is Consciousness.

You are merely an instrument
through which Consciousness is functioning.

TOTAL SURRENDER
John McIntosh

“I surrender … except for this.”
This is how the false self surrenders when it comes knocking.

For most in the beginning,
surrender arises due to intense suffering.
It is often expressed as ‘giving up’ rather than ‘giving in’,
which is much different.
The ‘giving up’ kind of surrender ‘bargains’ much like most prayers,
asking for relief or gifts of some kind in exchange
for a conditioning obedience,
and it is NOT authentic.

True surrender recognizes
that there is a higher power
that can take care of Life far better
than the body/mind can
and releases ‘everything’ to IT.

It does not say;
“I surrender all, except for this or that,
which I will continue to monitor and intervene with
… just in case.”

True surrender is total or not at all.
‘Thy will be done’ is one way to acknowledge this
[if that resonates with you].

It is another way of saying YES to ‘What Is’,
accepting that in some way
‘What Is’ is an aspect of what is Perfect
for your highest purpose
[despite not knowing what that is].

Until you have stepped off
the ‘illusionary’ wheel of karma - totally Free,
it will shape your destiny in the grand dream
and in doing so expose that which is NOT you.

It is a bitter-sweet blessing in that respect
and part of the unfolding Will of the God-SELF You Are
to return you to
‘Your Freedom’.
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/total-surrender

The Outsiders

We tend to look
much like the others.
We walk with the same hesitation
or else perhaps vibrant step.
We go to the same
schools,
write on the same subjects,
sing in the same choirs.

But sometimes they know
that we are different,
as if we are aware of something
beyond what the others
command.
They look on us
as odd, strange,
a bit eccentric.

They think we have unusual
hobbies,
follow strange beliefs,
bow to secret gods.

Not until we leave
and our papers explain
do they realize
that we were the other,
the ones from elsewhere
who mingled
unnoticed for so long.

Only then do they understand
the look in our eyes,
the distant gaze, the intent focus,
as if we were listening
to a song
they did not hear.

(Synchronicity...
this morning when the above Morning Whisper Arose
we had NOT consciously remembered
that the below quote
found us and was saved
a few days ago for today's OceanSpeak...)

The Power of the Word...
... The Power of Silence

Certainly there is great merit
in thinking about and being immersed
in the harmonizing influence
of inspiring words and sacred sounds,
since such high ideals
will help to create great intentions,
but the greatest gift of chanting,
wazifa and meditation
is to simply stop thinking about one's own self.

Note old shell faintly showing in sand close to water....

When all of that noisy chatter about one's own opinions,
one's own problems,
one's own difficulties,
and one's own situation
is finally silenced by selflessness,
then the answers and solutions
will begin to emerge from the perfect clarity of silence.

Indeed,
listening proves to be even more powerful than speaking.

And we discover that the greatest of powers
did not arise from the word,
but rather the greatest of powers
has arisen from
the unlimited, calm depths of silence.

https://wahiduddin.net/views/power_silence.htm

Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
you will not find me in the stupas,
not in Indian shrine rooms,
nor in synagogues,
nor in cathedrals:
not in masses,
nor kirtans,
not in legs winding around your own neck,
nor in eating nothing but vegetables.

When you really look for me,
you will see me instantly --
you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.
― Kabir

As long as a human being worries
about when he will die,
and what he has that is his,
all of his works are zero.

When affection for the I-creature
and what it owns is dead,
then the work of the Teacher is over.
― Kabir,
The Kabir Book: Forty-four of the Ecstatic Poems of Kabir

Do not keep the slanderer away,
treat him with affection and honor:
Body and soul, he scours all clean,
babbling about this and that.

SURREAL IS NORMAL

JOHN MCINTOSH

As you sink deeper and deeper into the Heart [the God-SELF]
it is normal to have many ‘surreal’ experiences.
The ‘nature’ of Nature for example begins to reveal IT SELF
and it is not uncommon to ‘feel’ ONE,
not ‘with’ but ‘as’ flowers, trees, streams, mountains,
birds, a sunrise or sunset … ALL of IT.

This is Reality and may come in fleeting vignettes or last for hours.
This is not an ‘identification’ with ‘objects’
but an Awareness of the ‘subject’
behind the projected form,
which is ONE and like limitless fingers in a glove,
expresses in a myriad of ways –
all YOU.

It is the dis-identification with you
as a ‘personal individual’ that bursts you free
of this ancient littleness and limitation and allows …
not something new to appear,
but aspects of the Real YOU to be revealed ‘to’ YOU.

This is what unfolds as you surrender
your attachment to person-hood.

Real Life is ‘never-changing’
but infinite and as a person you have seen almost ‘none’ of it.

As Emptiness,
a vast limitless wonder opens up.
Its what some call Bliss.
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/surreal-is-normal

This is how a human being can change:

There's a worm addicted to eating
grape leaves.

Suddenly, he wakes up,
call it Grace, whatever, something
wakes him, and he's no longer
a worm.

He's the entire vineyard,
and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks,
a growing wisdom and joy
that needs not devour.

Sama - Rumi
What is deep listening?

Sama is a greeting from the secret ones inside the heart,
a letter. The branches of your "intelligence" grow
new leaves inhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Bwrz9AAAGhH/
The body reaches a peace.

Rooster sound comes, reminding you of your love
for dawn. The reed flute and thin singer's lips:
the knack of how spirit breathes into us
becomes as simple and ordinary as
eating and drinking.

Listen, and feel the beauty of the
unsayable...

Give more of your life to this listening.
As brightness is to time, so are you to
the one who talks to the deep ear in
your chest.

I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand
ears when that one steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
Excerpt from - The Glance
Coleman Barks version
via The Beauty We Love
~
Sama is the quality of calmness and tranquility
of the mind...It is deep listening as a way
of connecting with the Divine

This silence, this moment, every moment,
if it's genuinely inside you,
brings what you need

There's nothing to believe.
Only when I stopped believing in myself
did I come into this beauty.

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

AFTERNOON

With passion pray.
With passion make love.
With passion eat and drink and dance and play.
Why look like a dead fish in this ocean of God?
Rumi

All religions, all this singing, one song.
The differences are just illusion and vanity.
The sun’s light looks a little different
on this wall than it does on that wall,
and a lot different on this other one,
but it’s still one light.
Rumi

Close the door of words
that the window of your heart may open.
To see what cannot be seen
turn your eyes inward
and listen, in silence.
~ Rumi

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whomever comes,
because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi

EVERYTHING IS HANDLED
JOHN MCINTOSH

The false self cannot conceive
of LIFE taking care of everything.
It believes something must be done,
effort must be exerted,
agendas, activities, actions, plans, schemes
must be exercised so that results will ensue,
and it will be cared for
… and hopefully it will thrive and enjoy itself and have wonderful experiences.

This is the lament of the personal identity
which is due to its belief that it is basically alone,
a victim of circumstances
in a dog-eat-dog world.

And yet in the Stillness of your True Reality
EVERYTHING is handled Perfectly
if this personal ‘you’ stays out of the way.

This ‘is’ occurring anyway
but the false self produces endless detours
through its interference,
always laden with struggle, pain, frustration
and the feeling that is has
‘some’ degree of control ...
… it has NONE,
no control over anything whatsoever because,
“of itself it is nothing”.

There is no need at all to tell the God-SELF
what you ‘think’ you need
or ‘how’ to provide it for you.

Whatever is Perfect for your highest good
[which is always and only your return HOME],
is happening with every breath
and there ‘is’ nothing you can do
to interfere with this.

Rest in this ‘knowing’
and watch LIFE perform
what you may now think of
as miracles and yet …
... are normal.

If you want to live, die in Love.

SOULUTIONS ARISE
ew
5:55 AM-4/24/19

12/15/2016

We must become so alone,
so utterly alone,
that we withdraw into our innermost self.
It is a way of bitter suffering.

But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone,
for we find that our innermost self is the spirit,
that it is God, the indivisible. .....

.....And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world,
yet undisturbed by its multiplicity,
for our innermost soul
we know ourselves to be one with all being.
— Hermann Hesse

The Deepest Silence
- John Roger Barrie

The eloquence of the deepest silence echoes from the eternal.
Originating there and reverberating
through the ripples of time and space.
It bursts forth in shimmering waves, forming light
and color, shadow, and dimension.
But it remains unchanged.

Never affected by the slightest permutation of outer phenomenon,
silence interweaves the temporal
but is forever untouched by it.

Ever abiding within and without,
overlaid with the mutable
patchwork garment we know as the visible universe,
silence forms
the woof and warp of all things seen and unseen.
Yet at any instant
it is immanent and accessible.

To the mystic,
silence is the ground,
the core of reality.

All else relates to and emanates from it.

The deeper elements in all religions point to this silence.
It is God,
it is Buddha; it is Allah.
But, to paraphrase Lao Tzu,
to name it is to elude its essence.
It can only be experienced.

How can we not experience that which always
envelops and permeates us?
Merely affirming its existence will not garner for us
its experiential realization.
It is spiritual practice [like meditation]
that provides us with the means to fine tune our faculties
so that we perceive it for ourselves.

Such practice enables us, in due course,
to experience a blistering,
conscious realization of silence
that
suffuses the core of our being.

By embarking on the spiritual path,
an aspirant is attempting to encounter silence firsthand.
This is the quintessential journey in life - the inner sojourn.
It is returning to a source long ago forgotten
but often glimpsed unawares.

Recapturing that which flitters on the
periphery of awareness is the goal of the mystic.

The mystic consciously dives into silence, at first unfelt.
With repeated practice it becomes
a living, palpable Presence
filled with immeasurable
vitality and boundless,
nondual continuity.

But what causes this
gradual revelation?

First we need to discover why we do not experience silence.
The simplest answer is that we are habituated to noise.
We are addicted to novelty, sensation, to ourselves.
Fuss and commotion,
mental chattering and outer stimulation
occupy our minds from
dawn to dusk.

The twentieth-century Japanese Zen master Nan-in
rightly noted that we are overflowing
with our own ideas and opinions.
When one is clattering away
on a keyboard sixteen hours every day,
the capacious pockets of silence are kept well at bay.
We thereby deafen ourselves to the
underlying silence we would
otherwise clearly hear.

By intentionally quieting our restless minds
and calling a temporary
halt to the random noise
- inner and outer -
to which we are subject,
we create an environment conducive to
the manifestation of silence.
Welling up from within,
this silence subtly engulfs us,
drowning out
all the noise of existence.

New Chicks in Abandoned Garden Lot

When constantly engaged at the forefront of our minds,
our awareness restlessly flutters about
from thought to thought,
sensation to sensation,
thus pushing out silence.

(...continuing this AFTERNOON ...)

AFTERNOON

The effort required to break
through the surface waves of the mind
forges an inward path
to the deepest levels of silence.
When deliberately sustained....
this inner drilling displaces the obfuscatory debris
that clutters the mind
with a matrix of noise.

When all mental ruminations are at last
exhausted, genuine silence emerges.

But, many prefer the comfort of noise,
the bustling of crowds,
the constant engagement of
new thoughts and interesting repartee.

To embrace silence means splicing off
a certain arena of the familiar and venturing
into uncharted territories.
While one may fruitfully participate
in communal spiritual activities,
quite often the deeper stages of this voyage
are undertaken
by oneself.

To keep the mind occupied with external concerns
is to point the inner compass in an outward direction.
This is the most subtle trap
to which the feeble mind continually succumbs.

For to interact constantly with the objects of the senses
is to eclipse entirely the realm of silence,
which is first experienced within.
When repeatedly accessed,
the decibel level of true silence will deafen
the resolute mystic.

Every elusive yet all pervading,
silence is known by those who take the leap.
The adventuresome hiker seeks areas untrampled
by the masses.

The successful inner voyager treks to the precipice,
and then, having encountered the Unknowable,
brazenly discards map and
compass and boldly treads onward.

The yearning heart echoes the
cry that seized the Psalmist:

"Be still and know that I am God."

John Roger Barrie

Silence is the language of God,
all else is poor translation.

*******************************
Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Sometimes you live moments that are like blessings from heaven.
Preciously keep your impressions of these moments,
and know that true happiness lies in constant attention to beautiful things,
in your sensitivity to everything divine.

**************
When you feel that spirit and light have visited you,
do not be careless;
do not allow these impressions to be erased immediately
by thoughts of something else.

Reflect on them for a long moment
so that they penetrate deeply within you.
They will thus leave their trace on your soul forever,
and this trace will never cease to inspire you.

Make a habit of this:
instead of always allowing your negative states,
your disappointments and animosities
to weigh you down,
instead of feeding and reinforcing them,
put them aside and concentrate
on all the things in your life that are good,
pure and filled with light.

AFTERNOON

TRUE PRESENCE - FREE - PART - 2
JOHN MCINTOSH
When one becomes stabilized in the Awakened God-SELF,
their daily life experience is usually withdrawn
from the cacophony of the full-blown dream most call life.

The conditioning that sculpts the world appearance
and its litany of stories is a wild
roller-coaster drama after drama.
This is because it is embraced
in the stranglehold of separation
inevitably seeding endless opportunities for chaos,
conflict and finger-pointing as each sleeper
looks fruitlessly ‘out there’
for the cause behind the imbalance
they find around every corner.
This is the ceaseless underlying ‘noise’
of the dream world,
which emits a sticky toxicity
that is painful to the Free
and often physically debilitating.

Generally, this means they have very few friends
and virtually no social life other than that
which is oriented to expressing the Light of Truth in some way.

Since they have no attachments,
expectations or identifications [conditioning],
the world dream has no ‘pull’ on their attention.

Besides basic bodily requirements,
only insofar as their actual activities
direct dreamers ‘inward’
toward the God they ‘are’,
do they venture out into the great illusion.
Most of their day therefore is spent in Silence ‘within’,
melted into the ONE-ness
they have rediscovered
as their
True Presence.
John McIntosh

** In Sleep article below
SLEEP = ("POOF") Return to Immortal Core

SLEEP
Why it is necessary for our survival

From the moment we fall asleep our soul moves away from our physical body
and goes to join the universal Soul.
During the body's rest, an entire process of cleansing and purification takes place.
Subtle ties known as the 'silver cord'
keep the soul connected to the physical body
when it leaves it.

On its return,
the soul finds the house swept,
cleaned and washed,
and it can take up its work again.

If the soul did not leave the body in this way,
we would die from poisoning and asphyxiation,
because the work of cleansing could not be done.

You may wonder where these toxins and poisons come from.
They are produced quite simply because life is a combustion.
All the physical, emotional and mental activities we know as 'life' give off forces,
but they also leave behind impurities
which take a while to be eliminated.

So it is necessary for the soul to withdraw from the body
so the cleansing can take place.
Sleep is the solution that cosmic Intelligence has found
so that we can continue to live.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanho
https://www.prosveta-usa.com/sleep-why-it-is-necessary-for-our-survival_2019-04-22

Longing has its own secret, future destination,
and its own seasonal emergence from within,
a ripening from the core,
a seed growing in our own bodies;
it is as if we are put into relationship with
an enormous distance inside us
leading back to some unknown origin
with its own secret timing
indifferent to our wills,
and gifted at the same time
with an intimate sense of proximity,
to a lover, to a future,
to a transformation,
to a life
we want for ourselves,
and to the beauty of
the sky and the ground
that surrounds us.

The foundational instinct that we are here
essentially to risk ourselves in the world,
that we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness,
that we are meant to hazard ourselves for the right thing,
for the right woman or the right man,
for a son or a daughter,
for the right work or for a gift given against all the odds.
In longing we move and are moving
from a known but abstracted elsewhere,
to a beautiful, about to be reached, someone,
something or somewhere we want to call our own.

Reality met on its own terms
demands absolute presence,
and absolute giving away,
an ability to live on equal terms
with the fleeting and the eternal,
the hardly touchable and the fully possible,
a full bodily appearance and disappearance,
a rested giving in and giving up;
another identity braver,
more generous and more here
than the one looking hungrily
for the easy,
unearned answer.
~David Whyte

TRANSFORMING ANCIENT PATTERNS
John McIntosh

The seemingly endless rays
[individual separated beings]
of the ONE we ‘are’,
when immersed in the delusion of separation,
take on a kaleidoscope of unique conditioning.

When one sleeps and dreams behind this veil,
they are subject to the dream of reincarnation
and in those many dream lives,
they ‘relive’ the conditioning over and over again
until a dreamer begins to AWAKEN
from their long slumber.
That one may choose to enter a dysfunctional lineage
that emphasizes a particular manifestation of conditioning
such as ‘abuse’ … with its many branches.

While the extended family of this specific tree
engages in and fosters this belief/habit
the ‘awakening one’ becomes a source of Light
that begins to ‘dilute’
this toxic energy ‘for the entire group’ of sleepers
living out their karmic dream in this way.

These Light sources are often labeled
the ‘black sheep’ of the family and may be ‘outcast’ in some way,
but their growing Awareness is weakening the dysfunctional pattern.

This makes it possible for ‘many’ to be released from this uninterrupted cycle. While there ‘are’ no ‘others’ in Truth …
the dream of separation is very convincing,
and this is one aspect of the
Infinite Divine Love
You Are drawing IT SELF Home.

Those who are fully Realized
often ‘take on’ an entire planet of imbalanced energy
to help reduce its ancient ‘hold’
over the many who sleep in painful dreams.

AFTERNOON

Tsu Ma was free.
Attached to nothing,
He roamed,
He explored.
Never becoming,
Only being.
He was like the wind,
Ungraspable, uncontainable.
Wu Hsin

One can speak about
Silent or chattering mind.
But who speaks about the source of mind,
What resides behind the mind?
Silent mind or chattering mind are conditions.
Wu Hsin speaks only of the Unconditioned.
Wu Hsin

People need words until
Direct experience speaks louder.
Then, silence prevails.
It is for this reason that
Wu Hsin writes.
Wu Hsin

Sam Fu used to think that he thought.
Upon investigation, he discovered that
Thoughts arise in the expanse of awareness and that
There is no thinker thinking.

Sam Fu now watches the show as
A spectator in the audience.
He may laugh.
He may cry.
He carries on his normal activities.

Yet never forgets That which facilitates and is
The support of these activities.
Wu Hsin

Understanding is not birthed by
A mental process any more than
Blue sky is created by
A clearing in the clouds.
Wu Hsin

The Guest - Kabir
The god that man has imagined in his own image, the god
that man made according to his own wishes, the god that is
nothing but the projection of man's mind and desires; that
god is certainly dead. That god never really existed.
The untrue MUST cease for the truth to be.

You have to become more conscious of your Consciousness.
You have to become more aware of your Awareness.
A point of stillness comes where you are simply aware of
your [inner] Awareness...

When Awareness [the Core Being] is the only content of your
awareness, that is the moment when The Guest is found...

Something inside of me has reached to the place
where the world is breathing.
~ Kabir

The most powerful prayer,
one well nigh omnipotent,
and the worthiest work of all
is the outcome of a quiet mind.

The quieter it is
the more powerful,
the worthier, the deeper,
the more telling and more perfect the prayer is.

What is a quiet mind?

A quiet mind is one
which nothing weighs on,
nothing worries,
which,
free from ties and from all self-seeking,
is wholly merged into the will of God
and dead to its own.
~ Meister Eckhart

The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.
Rumi

AFTERNOON

THE EYE OF THE STORM
JOHN MCINTOSH

There is no physical ‘cause’ for anything.
The manifested universe down to the most infinitesimal particle
all show up according to a ‘projection’
from the mind on the screen of consciousness.

A tiny shift in ‘Attention, Belief and Passion’
can alter worlds and how they play out.
The mind itself is ‘also’ a projection
and when combined with the belief in separation
produces a myriad of new beliefs
that sculpt the visible, sensually accessible world
each one experiences.

Only the SELF ‘as’ ONE is Real
and as Pure Consciousness Awareness,
everything that seems to be happening
is NOT somehow ‘out there’ but …
‘within’ IT.

Believing yourself to be a ‘separated being’
throws you into this swirling hurricane
of physical manifestation like a leaf in a storm.

When you are fully Aware,
this dynamic panorama shows up clearly as the dream it is and
... then, if you choose,
you may remain
IN it
but are never again
OF it.

Attempting to influence the storm
while you are still in this ‘leaf-awareness’
may shift the winds slightly
but the ‘effect’ of the storm-energy
will simply show up elsewhere in your life.

Only the True Awareness
of your ONE-ness
places you in the ‘eye of the storm’
where Peace is eternal.
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/the-eye-of-the-storm

Life abounds
in all variety of resources and resourcefulness.
Every moment is a divine encounter,
every facet is an exposure
to the boundless energies
by which life is sustained

11
And the man who is free
Always lives in his heart.
His heart is always pure.

Whatever happens,
He is free of all desires.

12
Whatever he sees or hears or touches,
Whatever he smells or tastes,
Whatever he acquires,
He is free.

Free from striving,
And from stillness.

For indeed he is a great soul.

13
Without blame or praise,
Anger or rejoicing.

He gives nothing.
He takes nothing.

He wants nothing,
Nothing at all.

14
And whoever draws near him,
A woman full of passion
Or Death Himself,
He is not shaken.

He stays in his heart.

He is free indeed!

15
It is all the same to him.
Man or woman,
Good fortune or bad,
Happiness or sorrow.

It makes no difference.
He is serene.

16
The world no longer holds him.
He has gone beyond
The bounds of human nature.

Without compassion
Or the wish to harm,
Without pride or humility.

Nothing disturbs him.
Nothing surprises him.

17
Because he is free,
He neither craves nor disdains
The things of the world.

He takes them as they come.

His mind is always detached.

18
His mind is empty.
He is not concerned with meditation,
Or the absence of it,
Or the struggle between good and evil.

He is beyond all,
Alone.

19
No "I,"
No "mine."

He knows there is nothing.

All his inner desires have melted away.

Whatever he does,
He does nothing.

20
His mind has stopped working!

It has simply melted away. . .

And with it,
Dreams and delusions and dullness.

And for what he has become,
There is no name.

AFTERNOON

The only problem with human beings is that they are arrogant,
because that’s what thinking is.
This is in essence ‘I know’.
Wisdom is being in the void.
To be thoughtless.

Only by being in the void can the Light come through.
As long as I have something going on in my mind
the Light can’t come through.
The Light can only come in when the mind is cleared
–in a state of silence.
– Dr Hew Len, Shamanic Wisdomkeepers

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

Give up to grace.
The ocean takes care of each wave ‘til
it gets to shore.
You need more help than you know.

1

The man who is happy and pure
And likes his own company
Gathers the fruit of his practice
And the fruit of wisdom.

2
The man who knows the truth
Is never unhappy in the world.

For he alone fills the universe.

3
Just as the elephant loves
The leaves of the sallaki tree,
But not the neem tree,
So the man who loves himself
Always spurns the senses.

4
It is hard to find
A man who has no desire
For what he has not tasted,
Or who tastes the world
And is untouched.

5
Here in the world
Some crave pleasure,
Some seek freedom.
But it is hard to find
A man who wants neither.

He is a great soul.

6
It is hard to find
A man who has an open mind,
Who neither seeks nor shuns
Wealth or pleasure,
Duty or liberation,
Life or death. . .

He does not want the world to end.
He does not mind if it lasts.

Whatever befalls him,
He lives in happiness.

For he is truly blessed.

8
Now that he understands,
He is fulfilled.
His mind is drawn within,
And he is fulfilled.

He sees and he hears,
He touches and smells and tastes,
And he is happy.

9
Whatever he does is without purpose.
His senses have been stilled.
His eyes are empty.

He is without desire or aversion.

For him the waters of the world
Have all dried up!

10
He is not asleep.
He is not awake.
He never closes his eyes
Or opens them.

Wherever he is,
He is beyond everything.
He is free.

AFTERNOON

whoever you are

You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light
and of every moment of your life.
—Walt Whitman

I believe in an invisible universe
in which we mark out our dark accomplishment.
I feel the energy of the light that makes the stone break into music,
and I suffer from the arrow-tip of longing
that pierces us to death from the very beginning
and pushes us to go searching beyond,
where the wash of uncertainty begins.

—Nelly Sachs to Paul Celan
Stockholm, 1. 9. 1958 –
from their Correspondence...

There is, in sanest hours,
a consciousness, a thought that rises,
independent, lifted out from all else, calm,
like the stars, shining eternal.
This is the thought of identity -
yours for you, whoever you are, as mine for me.
Miracle of miracles, beyond statement,
most spiritual and vaguest of earth's dreams,
yet hardest basic fact, and only entrance to all facts.

In such devout hours,
in the midst of the significant wonders of heaven and earth,
(significant only because of the Me in the centre)
creeds, conventions, fall away and become of no account
before this simple idea.
Under the luminousness of real vision,
it alone takes possession,
takes value.

Like the shadowy dwarf in the fable, once liberated and look'd upon,
it expands over the whole earth,
and spreads to the roof of heaven.

The quality of being, in the object’s self,
according to its own central idea and purpose,
and of growing therefrom and thereto
— not criticism by other standards, and adjustments thereto --
is the lesson of Nature.
—Walt Whitman

Heart-to-Heart Resonance - Eric Baret and Rumi

The heart is yearning to be open.
When a heart meets an open heart,
when a match approaches a lighted match,
it rejoices in unity, in the flame...
This is called transmission.
But nothing is transmitted.
No one transmits, no one receives;
There is [just] heart-to-heart [resonance].
There is only one heart.

Eric Baret

Some souls have gotten free of their bodies.
Do you see them?
Open your eyes for those who escape to meet
with other escapees, whose hearts associate in a way
they have of leaving their false selves to live
in a truer Self...

Rumi
From: Escaping to the Forest

What does pre-eternity mean to you?
What is your origin? The Source?
What is spirit?

Spend your life finding out your own state.
Those other mysteries will come clear.

God is depth. And you, you are also deep.
The same depth is in you.

Don't worry about terminology, pre-existence,
the original face, spirit, soul.
Search within yourself.
The great mystery is there.

I want someone with a living pulse,
a living friend...

Chapter 16
Forget Everything

1
My child,
You may read or discuss scripture
As much as you like.

But until you forget everything,
You will never live in your heart.

2
You are wise.
You play and work and meditate.

But still your mind desires
That which is beyond everything,
Where all desires vanish.

3
Striving is the root of sorrow.

But who understands this?

Only when you are blessed
With the understanding of this teaching
Will you find freedom.

4
Who is lazier than the master?
He has trouble even blinking!

But only he is happy.
No one else!

5
Seeing to this,
Neglecting that. . .

But when the mind stops setting
One thing against another,
It no longer craves pleasure.

It no longer cares for wealth
Or religious duties or salvation.

6
Craving the pleasures of the senses,
You suffer attachment.

Disdaining them,
You learn detachment.

But if you desire nothing,
And disdain nothing,
Neither attachment nor detachment bind you.

7
When you live without discrimination,
Desire arises.

When desire persists,
Feelings of preference arise,
Of liking and disliking.

They are the root and branches of the world.

8
From activity, desire.
From renunciation, aversion.

But the man of wisdom is a child.
He never sets one thing against another.

It is true!
He is a child.

9
If you desire the world,
You may try to renounce it In order to escape sorrow.
Instead, renounce desire!

Then you will be free of sorrow,
And the world will not trouble you.

10
If you desire liberation,
But you still say "mine,"
If you feel you are the body,
You are not a wise man or seeker.

You are simply a man who suffers.

11
Let Hari teach you
Or Brahma, born of the lotus,
Or Shiva himself!

Unless you forget everything,
You will never live in your heart.

AFTERNOON

Character is higher than intellect.
Thinking is the function.
Living is the functionary.
The stream retreats to its source.

A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.
Does he lack organ or medium to impart his truths?
He can still fall back on this elemental force of living them.
This is a total act.
Thinking is a partial act.
The solar loses no hour which the man lives.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Creating Enmity - J. Krishnamurti

Surely that thing which you fight you become.
If I am angry and you meet me with anger what is the result?
More anger.

You have become that which I am.
If I am evil and you fight me with evil means
then you also become evil,
however righteous you may feel.

If I am brutal and you use brutal methods to overcome me,
then you become brutal like me.
And this we have done for thousands of years.

Surely there is a different approach than to meet hate by hate.
If I use violent methods to quell anger in myself
then I am using wrong means for a right end,
and thereby the right end ceases to be.
In this there is no understanding.
Anger is to be understood;
it is not to be overcome through violent means.
Anger may be the result of many causes and
without comprehending them there is no escape from anger.

We have created the enemy,
and becoming ourselves the enemy
in no way brings about an end to enmity.
We have to understand the cause of our enmity
and cease to feed it by our thought, feeling, and action.
This is an arduous task demanding constant
self-awareness [and Self awareness] and intelligent pliability,
for what we are society is...

The enemy and the friend are the outcome of our thought and action.
We are responsible for creating enmity
and so it is more important to be aware of our own thought and action
than to be concerned with the foe and the friend,
for right thinking puts an end to division.

Love transcends the friend and the enemy.

J. Krishnamurti
from: The Book of Life

via - The Beauty We Love

whoever you are

You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light
and of every moment of your life.
—Walt Whitman.

I believe in an invisible universe in which we mark out our dark accomplishment.
I feel the energy of the light that makes the stone break into music,
and I suffer from the arrow-tip of longing
that pierces us to death from the very beginning
and pushes us to go searching beyond,
where the wash of uncertainty begins.

—Nelly Sachs to Paul Celan
Stockholm, 1. 9. 1958 –
from their Correspondence

There is, in sanest hours, a consciousness, a thought that rises,
independent, lifted out from all else,
calm, like the stars, shining eternal.

This is the thought of identity - yours for you,
whoever you are, as mine for me.

Miracle of miracles, beyond statement,
most spiritual and vaguest of earth's dreams,
yet hardest basic fact, and only entrance to all facts.

In such devout hours,
in the midst of the significant wonders of heaven and earth,
(significant only because of the Me in the centre)
creeds, conventions, fall away
and become of no account before this simple idea.

Under the luminous of real vision,
it alone takes possession, takes value.

Like the shadowy dwarf in the fable,
once liberated and look'd upon,
it expands over the whole earth,
and spreads to the roof of heaven.

The quality of being, in the object’s self,
according to its own central idea and purpose,
and of growing therefrom and thereto
— not criticism by other standards, and adjustments thereto --
is the lesson of Nature.
—Walt Whitman
