That which infuses Nature
is imperceptible - seemingly hidden.

The Ineffable is subtly imperceptible -
yet present in existence as its
Natural Essence -
in its Beauty -
in its Effulgence -
as if lit from within...

Manifest reality is held in the
imperceptible movement of the gentle Rhythm
of Time and Season;
alive, not on its own - but
through the Pulse of Light that lives it.

All life is being lived
by this subtle Pulse of Light -
our Natural Illumined Essence.

I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as a plant and rose to animal,
I died as an animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear?
When was I less by dying?
Rumi

Everyone is so afraid of death,
but the real sufis just laugh:
nothing tyrannizes their hearts.

What strikes the oyster shell does not damage the pearl.
Rumi

I learned that every mortal will taste death.
But only some will taste life.
Rumi

Our death is our wedding with eternity.
Rumi
https://www.azquotes.com/author/12768-Rumi

I have learned so much from God
that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu,
a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.
The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me
that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel,
or even a pure Soul.
Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash
and freed me of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.
Hafez

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

First Viewing of Ocean/Sky

Is it You, Beloved, or my own Soul,
That Fills the Heart of my Being,
With Love, Causeless and Eternal,
This Ecstasy without opposite?

When I Remember Your Face,
I, and the manifest world Vanish.

Falling into the depths of my Soul,
I, and the manifest world Vanish.

Could it be my Soul is that juncture,
Where You and I are Not Two,
Where river meets Ocean,
And those Waters are Not Two?

The Mind, in Wonder, seeks to know,
While The Heart Revels in Mystery.

They Dance, together, as Rumi said,
In Astounded, Lucid Confusion.

The Joy Behind Suffering and Death

These difficult days remind me of an earlier time,
when I spoke to Bernadette (Roberts)
about some difficult physical suffering I was going through.

She said she hoped and prayed
that I was not also suffering interiorly
but were aware that God is with me
and has ordained this suffering
to prepare me for a whole new life.

It is because God (eternal life with God) is not of this world
that your being in this world has to go by the wayside
in order to enter into God’s being –
which is not in this world.

She went on to say that death and dying
are not about anything else.
Although dying is a positive transformative process,
it is thought of as a ‘negative’
because it means leaving life as one knows it now,
for a life that one does not know now.

Man’s eternal life is of an entirely different nature
than his present life.
No one knows eternal life until it is a fait accompli.

Because one does not know ahead of time,
soul preparation must be perfect trust in God.

The reason this is not easy is because
it means giving up not only what one knows,
but knowing itself.

Everything one thinks is ‘life after death’
can be thrown in the wastebasket.
In the garden, Jesus had to sweat out this unknowing,
“to be or not to be”
– how it would go after his death.

How it really goes
is nothing like man’s ideas of ‘eternal life’.

Jesus said
“Thy will be done”,
meaning
‘however it goes, so be it!’

This is the last word on eternal life.
Bernadette encouraged me to maintain ‘tough love’ for God –
“that your trust may be perfect!”

Out of the Unseen - Matt Licata
In any here and now moment,
we can discover that our
nature as Awareness Itself
is in fact
the ultimate holding environment.

While as an infant we depended upon
another to provide this environment for us,
in which we could rest in Primordial Beingness,
it is actually here at all times.

It is here now,
pouring out of the unseen and soaking
into every cell and strand of DNA.

With eyes and heart wide open.....
just look and you will feel it
surrounding you... right now.

While we may not always
understand our experience [or others]

- and while it may never
conform to our ideas,
hopes, and dreams
about the life we were
"meant to live" -

we can come to trust
that it is unfolding uniquely,
emerging out of
the unseen hand of Love.

Matt Licata

AFTERNOON

The yogi is able to place the candle of his awareness,
or his attention, in a niche within himself,
where the winds
do not make
the candle flame move.

That is where a sound, or a sight, or a smell,
or a taste, or a sensation on the skin
does not distract him.

What is left to distract him, of course,
are still his own thoughts,
his memories, his plans.

And it is here that the discipline
that the yogi must impose upon himself
becomes exquisitely difficult,
and something requiring
an extraordinary amount of patience.

- Ram Dass
http://allisoncapture.com/blog/ram-dass-fierce-grace/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20yogi%20is%20able%20to,skin%20does%20not%20distract%20him.

Well, due to the stroke in my body,
I couldn't play my cello, play golf,
drive my sports car
and many other things.

But it forced me in, inside.
It was fierce grace.

The grace of it was the turning inward.
And I certainly identified with my soul.
I didn't identify with my body.
And my mind.

My perception of myself
was of a spiritual being
delving into humanity.
Ram Dass

Everyone is saying Jim Carrey has gone insane, I'm not surprised.
Consciousness has always been regarded as madness.
They'd rather see me being a rich arrogant prick.

I’ve often said that I wished people could realize
all their dreams of wealth and fame, so they could see
that it’s not where you’ll find your sense of completion.

I don’t believe in icons, I don’t believe in personalities,
I believe that peace lies beyond personality and disguise,
beyond the red S on your chest
that makes bullets bounce off.

I believe that it’s deeper than that.
I believe we’re a field of energy
dancing for itself.

I am the unknowingness
of an unknown mystery.
If you want to know something,
go elsewhere.
If you want to un-know everything,
then sit and listen.
The silence inside of you
is the sound of your knowledge collapsing.
Remember, it is you who said,
"I want to be free."

Two Movements of Spiritual Life

Once again I would emphasize that the contemplative life is composed
of two separate and entirely different movements:
one of integration or the finding of the self;
and one of disintegration or the losing of the self.

In a religious context this would be
the movement toward union with God-as-object,
followed by the second movement
toward identity or God-as-subject.

Of the two movements,
it is far more likely that the movement toward union
would culminate in experiences of personal deification,
because further on,
the experience of personal selfhood
– on which personal deification depends -
falls away.

It is this very experience of
no personal self and no personal God
that composes
the second movement.

Thus it does away with any possibility of a mistaken identity,
especially when everything we thought we knew is taken away
in a state of complete unknowing.

The truest communication with God is absolute,
total silence;
there is not a single word in existence
that can convey this communication.
Bernadette Roberts

But coming home that day, walking downhill
with a panorama of valley and hills before me,
I turned my gaze inward,
and what I saw, stopped me in my tracks.

Instead of the usual unlocalized centre of myself,
there was nothing there,
it was empty,
and at the moment of seeing this
there was a flood of quiet joy and I knew,
finally I knew what was missing-
it was my "self".
Bernadette Roberts

...a point is reached where the self
is so completely aligned with the still-point
that it can no longer be moved,
even in its first movements,
from this center.

It can no longer be tested by any force or trial,
nor moved by the winds of change,
and at this point the self
has obviously outworn its function;
it is no longer needed or useful,
and life can go on without it.

AFTERNOON

Rumi ♡ From Self to Self

The seeds of His love blossom in every heart.
The sounds of His flute fill every celebration.
Everyone thinks that he sings and dances
But no---
He is the only one singing,
He is the only one dancing.

If a tree could run or fly
it would not suffer from the teeth of a saw
or the blows of an axe.

If the Sun did not run across the sky
the world would not see
the colors of morning.
If water did not rise from the sea
plants would not be quickened
by rivers or rain.

It’s only when a drop leaves the ocean—and returns--
that it can find an oyster
and become a pearl.

But you have no need to go anywhere--
journey within yourself.
Enter a mine of rubies
and bathe in the splendor of your own light.

O great one,
Journey from self to Self
and find the mine of gold.

Leave behind what is sour and bitter--
move toward what is sweet.

Be like the thousand different fruits
that grow from briny soil.

This is the miracle--

Every tree becomes beautiful
when touched by sunlight;

When I Cast All Dreams Away ~
Yogananda

I sipped the sap of each sane pleasure;
I exulted in the crushed beauty of sextillion stars;
I made a bonfire of all sorrows and basked in the glory blaze;

I quaffed the questing love of all hearts;
I mingled paternal, maternal, and fraternal love together,
And drank the solacing draught;
I squeezed the scriptures for drops of peace;
I wrung poems from the winepress of Nature;

I lifted gems from the mine of thoughts;
I stole the sweetness from the honeycomb of innocent joys;
I read, I smiled, I worked, I planned, I throbbed, I aspired;
But naught was sufficient.

Only nightmares of incompleteness,
Ever receding will-o’-the wisps of promised happiness,
Haunted and hastened my heart.
Yogananda

GRACE
Grace is the Ocean flowing into the river,
Not the other way ‘round.

Grace is The Destination Arriving at you,
When you have not yet arrived.

Grace is an impossible Blossoming,
While you are yet still a bud.

Grace is being Discovered,
By that which you sought to discover.

Grace is being Embraced,
By that which you sought to embrace.

Grace is being Possessed by Perfection,
While you are yet far from Perfect.

Grace is Love, drawn to Itself, Here...
In the Heart of your Deepest Interiority.

Self is an Obstacle to Clear Vision

In the now-moment the self never arises;
nothing calls upon it to do so.
The eye seeing itself lives and holds everything
tightly in this moment,
a moment that has no need of a self.

But even if we persist with the notion of self,
such a label adds nothing to pure subjectivity.
It tells us nothing more about it,
and any clinging to self as a notion or an experience,
certainly constitutes an obstacle
to clear vision.

6:24 AM-8/4/20

*The Absolute is the concept of an unconditional reality
which transcends limited, conditional, everyday existence.

It is often used as an alternate term for a "God" or "the Divine",
especially, but by no means exclusively,
by those who feel that the term "God"
lends itself too easily to
anthropomorphic presumptions.
https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Absolute_(philosophy)#:~:text=The%20Absolute%20is%20the%20concept,too%20easily%20to%20anthropomorphic%20presumptions.

Living in the 'Now-Moment'

By the time the journey is over,
the only possible way of living
is in the now-moment,
wherein the mind moves
neither backward nor forward
but remains fixed and fully concentrated
in the present.

Because of this,
the mind is so open and clear
that no preconceived notions
can get a foothold;
no idea can be carried over
from one moment to another;
much less,
could any notion
demand conformity
from others.

There are no more head trips --
no clinging to a frame of reference,
even if it is only
the reference of
tomorrow's expectations.

In a word,
what is to be done or thought
is always underfoot,
with no need to step aside
in order to find out what is to be
thought, believed, or enacted.

AFTERNOON

Speak out, Hildegard says.
And when you do,
when you recognize that inner voice
as the voice of God
and say what it has taught you,
the sickness in your heart will melt away.

The fatigue you have lived with for so long
that you did not even notice how weary you were
will lift.

Your voice will ring out with such clarity and beauty
that you will not be able to stop singing.
To speak your truth,
Hildegard teaches us,
is to praise God.

Can the Mind End Self?

Whether or not there honestly exists certain techniques
of mind-manipulation that can bypass the need for divine intervention,
or the need to wait upon God,
is something I do not know.

Nor can I imagine how anyone can put a permanent,
irrevocable end to the reflexive movement of the mind
without running into certain psychological dangers.
The danger would lie in not knowing how to proceed
once this mechanism had been overcome
or closed down.

Without some compensating or sustaining factor
arriving on the scene,
the state of no-self is no guarantee
of ecstasy or bliss,
because once the relatively peaceful effects
have worn off,
no-self can become
– as I discovered in the Passageway* –
a very burdensome,
if not dire state of affairs.

“Our parents gave us just a seed
and that became the body.

But what the Source of Creation gave us
was not a seed in that sense.
It gave itself.

This is the reason that all the possibilities
that the Source of Creation holds
are kind of encapsulated in us.

Whether that possibility is realized
in an individual life or not
is questionable,
but the possibility is always there.”

― Sadhguru,
Death; An Inside Story: A book for all those who shall die

“Avoiding death is avoiding life,
dodging life is inviting death.
For most people,
if life becomes unpleasant or burdensome,
then,
knowingly or unknowingly,
they start dodging life.

Once you start dodging life,
you are invariably inviting death.

There is no better method in the world to dodge life
except to invite death.
Either you do it consciously or you do it unconsciously.

One major contribution to the multiple, complex ailments
that you see on the planet these days
is that people are trying to dodge life
and, in the process,
are inviting death.

The body is only cooperating with this.

The body is just fulfilling your desire to invite death.
Ask, and it shall happen!

People are trying to avoid life
because they think it is unsafe.

You should know that the only safe place
on the planet is your grave.

Nothing happens there.
There is no safety in life itself.

Like I said earlier,
tomorrow morning you may be dead,
no matter how much security you create for yourself.

I am not wishing you this,
but it does not matter how healthy you are,
how well you are right now,
tomorrow you may be dead.

It is a real possibility.

So there is no such thing as security in this life.

The moment you start seeking security,
naturally, you become death-oriented.
Unknowingly,

you will seek death.”

whenever you think or you believe or you know,
you’re a lot of other people:

but the moment you feel,
you’re nobody-but-yourself.
—e.e. cummings

Meditate.
Live purely.
Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon,
Come out from behind the cloud.

—Dhammapada

See how the past is not finished
here in the present
it is awake the whole time
never waiting
it is my hand now but not what I held
it is not my hand but what I held
it is what I remember...

...but it never seems quite the same
no one else remembers it
a house long gone into air
the flutter of tires over a brick road
cool light in a vanished bedroom
the flash of the oriole
between one life and another
the river a child watched

AFTERNOON

By intentionally choosing to feel the elevated emotions of the heart
rather than waiting for something outside of yourself
to elicit those emotions,
you become who you are truly meant to be--
a heart-empowered individual.
― Joe Dispenza

The only way we can change our lives is to change our energy --
to change the electromagnetic field we are constantly broadcasting.
In other words,
to change our state of being,
we have to change
how we think and how we feel.
Joe Dispenza

When you change your emotions,
you can change the expression of your genes
(turning some on and others off)
because you are sending a new chemical signal to your DNA,
which can then instruct your genes
to make different proteins--

--up-regulating or down-regulating
to make all kinds of new building blocks
that can change
the structure and function of your body.
Joe Dispenza

If you can’t get beyond your stresses,
your problems,
and your pain,
you can’t create a new future
where those things don’t exist.
Joe Dispenza

If you focus on the known,
you get the known.

If you focus on the unknown,
you create a possibility.
Joe Dispenza

Bernadette's Path

I never believed in deliberately manipulating the mind
because my particular contemplative path
took the way of least resistance:
by waiting effortlessly
for some form of divine intervention.

As I conceived it,
spending my whole life waiting for God
was the good life.

how to know love

When you regain a sense of your life
as a journey of discovery,
you return to rhythm with yourself.

When you take the time to travel with reverence,
a richer life unfolds before you.

Moments of beauty begin to braid your days.

When your mind becomes
more acquainted with reverence,
the light, grace and elegance of beauty
find you more frequently.

When the destination becomes gracious,
the journey becomes an adventure of beauty.

AFTERNOON

that dull spiky ache

Thomas Merton wrote,
“there is always a temptation
to diddle around in the contemplative life,
making itsy-bitsy statues.”

There is always an enormous temptation
in all of life to diddle around
making itsy-bitsy friends and meals
and journeys
for itsy-bitsy years on end.

It is so self-conscious, so apparently moral,
simply to step aside from the gaps
where the creeks and winds pour down,
saying,
I never merited this grace, quite rightly,
and then
to sulk along the rest of your days
on the edge of rage.

I won’t have it.
The world is wilder than that in all directions,
more dangerous and bitter,
more extravagant and bright.

We are making hay when we should be making whoopee;
we are raising tomatoes
when we should be raising Cain, or Lazarus.

Go up into the gaps.
If you can find them;
they shift and vanish too.

Stalk the gaps.
Squeak into a gap in the soil, turn,
and
unlock-more than a maple- a universe.

This is how you spend this afternoon,
and tomorrow morning,
and tomorrow afternoon.

Spend the afternoon.
You can’t take it with you.”
~Annie Dillard
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/07/19/32807/

Self-generated tranquility,
dependent on the arrangement of finances,
relationships, and social norms
cannot substitute for the real thing.

True tranquility is a birthright of every being.
It resides in the eternal nature of all beings.

That nature is often called the Soul.

Look there for the real deal
when the substitute fails.
William Martin
https://freedomsimplicityandjoy.wordpress.com/2020/07/18/energy-from-the-void/

Walking this path,
we experience inexhaustible energy.
From what appears an empty void,
we find the bounty of life.
Our edginess, tension,
anger, and turmoil
begin to settle down.

In their place we find
a deep tranquility,
that has been here waiting
since before the beginning
of beginning-less time.

Cosmic Breathing...

Sitting in the Silence of the Inner Landscape,
I suddenly realize
the Cosmic Breath of Infinity
is slowly breathing this body -
breathing in... breathing out...

Held in the pause between breaths -
I recognize that "I" am being breathed
by an unheard Rhythm...

From the Inner Window,
at the edge of Infinity
I see beyond this world,
into the formless void,
beyond moon and stars,
into the Infinite Cosmic Ocean
that holds it all...

Aware of what is aware within:
Life - breathing ITSelf...

Every Breath is the Primordial Breath
rippling through space...

Hush
Be Silent
Listen

Entrain with the Cosmic Rhythm
that is breathing you...

Slow down and breathe
the Infinite Breath -
that whispers...
All will be infinitely well...

AFTERNOON

Some of us are now learning to listen to
and maybe even converse with the elemental utterances
of things that don’t speak in words,
tuning our ears and our skin
to the discourse of countless
other-than-human beings:
each redwing blackbird or stormcloud
or naked chunk of sandstone
jostling with the rest of existence.
David Abram
Excerpt from:

Re: C-Virus

EXPERIENCING CORONAVIRUS AS AN INITIATION
INITIATIONS ARE NOT GENERAL,
but rather specific.

As I stated,
I think of every house in
lockdown as an alchemical hut.
Millions of them.
This enforced solitude is going to produce
many different responses.
Some will want to get back to life as it used to be,
some will make life-changing decisions,
and on it goes.

But no one,
whatever may be claimed,
can know what that is yet.

Because it’s going to
unfold in the secretive chamber of your heart,
not as a generalization.

It’s bespoke.

AFTERNOON

The Soul's Preparation
Although I know you are suffering at this time,
my hope and prayer is that you are not suffering interiorly, that you are aware that God is with you
and has ordained this to prepare you for a whole new life.

It is because God
(eternal life with God)
is not of this world that your being in this world
has to go by the wayside to enter into God’s being –
not in this world.

Death and dying are not about anything else.

Although dying is a positive transformative process,
it is well-taken as a 'negative'
because it means leaving life as one knows it now,
for a life that one does not know now.

Man’s eternal life is of an entirely different nature
than his present life; no one knows eternal life
until it is a fait accompli.

It is because one does not know ahead of time,
the soul’s preparation
can only be perfect trust in God.

The reason this is not easy
is because it means giving up not only what one knows, but knowing itself.

So all one thinks is 'life after death' or how this goes,
can be thrown in the wastebasket.

other souls.
~Anais Nin
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/01/28/31588/

Coming to Terms with Nothingness
What we call emptiness and nothingness
is merely a relative notion or experience,
like moving from the positive to the negative
before both eventually fall away
and all that remains is what Is.

Nevertheless,
if there is any aspect of this journey
I would stress or emphasize,
it is the evident necessity of finally coming to terms
with the nothingness and emptiness of existence,
which, for me,
seemed to be the equivalent
of living out my life without God –
or any such substitute.

Only when this came about,
only when the acclimation
to a life without an ultimate reality
was complete,
when there was no hope,
no trust remaining,
only when I have finally to accept what is,
did I suddenly realize that what is,
is Truth itself and all that Is.

I had to discover
it was only when every single,
subtle, experience and idea
– conscious and unconscious –
has come to an end, a complete end,
that it is possible for the
Truth to reveal Itself.

MID-MORNING SESSION - OCEAN "OFFICE" SPACE

AFTERNOON

The restlessness in the human heart
will never be finally stilled
by any person, project, or place.

The longing is eternal.
This is what constantly qualifies and enlarges
our circles of belonging.
There is a constant and vital tension
between longing and belonging.

Without the shelter of belonging,
our longings would lack direction, focus, and context;
they would be aimless and haunted,
constantly tugging the heart
in a myriad of opposing directions.

Without belonging,
our longing would be demented.

As memory gathers and anchors time,
so does belonging shelter longing.
Belonging without longing
would be empty and dead,
a cold frame around emptiness.

John O'Donohue
Excerpt from this EXCELLENT writing:
http://www.passionart.guide/project/john-o-donohue-celtic-reflections-on-our-yearning-to-belong/

A long dark curve is the poem in your body
is the river
is the loon's throat.
Have you ever asked yourself how
the loon's voice
opens?

You know it first as change in the body.
Even if the blue place you are dreaming
is no longer there
you must begin.
Something that desires to lift
these heavy bones
something simple
and beautiful
miraculous as a feather
forms along the blade
of each wing.

Poised, no longer
settled
you wait as every part of you sheds
what once was,
and is no longer
necessary.

Close to shore you prepare.
And what will it cost you?

And what is this
haunting and wild, now
still in your throat, now
trembling
Set it free
whatever it may cost you
set it free.

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.

AFTERNOON

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 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.
Bernadette Roberts

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

Monday, August 5, 2019
The disciples of a spiritual teaching are aware that within them there is something beautiful and great that longs only to express itself, and they seek the help of beings of light from the invisible world. Their wish flows from them as a subtle fluid, and the entities that pick this up are always ready to respond to their request. But it is one thing to have a spiritual ideal and quite another to keep it firmly in your soul. When you have succeeded in elevating your inner state, it is difficult to stay on the high ground. But you have to cling on, because it is up there that you will find pure air, light and freedom.
In our universe, it is the sun that represents the summit, the spirit. In order to reach their inner summit and remain there, disciples of spiritual science must make daily efforts to hoist themselves up to the sun. Then when they come back down to face whatever events may occur, a part of them will remain up above, in the sun, inspiring all their decisions.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

And listen once again...
Posted: 03 Aug 2019 08:50 AM PDT
Matt Licata

The contradictory feelings of hope and hopelessness,
meaning and flatness, anxiety and rest.
The shakiness and uncertainty in the belly.
The tightness in the throat. The raw breaking inside the heart.
The joy that at times is there,
but never can seem to be sustained.

All the techniques, the teachings, the things to manifest,
the new beliefs to take on,
the worn-out ideas about the true source of peace,
aliveness, and flowing abundance.
Perhaps there were once answers to these questions,
but now there is no answer to be found.
Only a burning where the questions once existed.

This burning is the doorway, the portal, pure evidence of the connection.

.A cosmic sort of exhaustion can come at times,
where we find ourselves in the bardo between one moment and the next.
We can’t quite go back to the way it was, but the rebirth has yet to appear.

There is a creativity in the liminal but it can seem out of reach.
We are asked to marinate in the womb of now,
tend to the groundlessness, and find refuge
in the unknown:
to be midwife to the darkened illumination.

There are signs and symbols and guidance all around and inside us,
but their appearance is governed by a timeline written somewhere else.

As we bear witness to a new day, in awe at the gift that has been given…
the breath is here.
The heart is quivering.
The birds have come.

Sounds from the other world,
another opportunity to hear,
to behold the miracle of the senses.

The sun has come up again.
The moon is hiding nearby waiting her turn.
For just one moment,
the veil parts and the perfection is there
awaiting our participation.

Your life is not an unending self-improvement project
and your heart is not a venture
to be undertaken, mastered,
and completed.

Perhaps today was never going to be the day when you figured it all out,
got all your questions answered,
or resolved the contradictions.

It's just too wild for all that.
Just too creative.
Just too alive.

Today may not be the day for answers,
but to let your heart break open to the vastness of the question.
To fall to the ground as a humble lover of the mystery.
And listen once again.
Matt Licata
http://alovinghealingspace.blogspot.com/2019/08/and-listen-once-again.html

The first obstacle that peace must flow across is your desire to get rid of it.
For it cannot extend unless you keep it.
You are the center from which it radiates outward
to call the others in.

You are its home,
its tranquil dwelling-place
from which it gently reaches out
but never leaving you.

If you would make it homeless,
how can it abide within the Son of God?
If it would spread across the whole creation,
it must begin with you
and from you reach to everyone who calls
and bring him rest by joining you.

ACIM OE T.19.Va
"The First Obstacle [to Peace]
The Desire to Get Rid of It"

AFTERNOON

The seed of insight is in us, but it's obscured
by layers of ignorance, sorrow, and disappointment.
When we practice mindfulness,
we see the seed of awakening in everyone, including ourselves.
In the process of learning, reflecting, and looking deeply
our view becomes increasingly wise.

When we practice mindful living, Right View will blossom.
With Right View, we see the way to go, and our seeing gives us faith and energy,
based on our real experience.

If we feel better after walking meditation,
we'll have the determination to continue the practice.
When we see walking meditation bringing peace to others,
we'll have more faith in the practice.

With patience,
we can discover the joy of life that is around us.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/08/05/30087/

Transformative journeys start with a wake-up call: For some, it arrives as a sudden, intuitive recognition. But just as often, the call may come through an external crisis. Evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris has written that stress is what creates evolution in nature: Plants grow through pruning. Human beings grow the same way. When we're faced with a situation that we can't control or change with our current level of understanding and skill, evolutionary stress arises and impels us to question, seek, practices nd eventually take a deep outside of our comfort zones into higher levels of awareness.

Stress is uncomfortable and, for some, downright disturbing. But in science and in spirituality, important breakthroughs are often preceded by a period of intense frustration or impasse. In this impasse, the answers emerge from a momentarily still mind. Often, it takes the form of an insight, like a download from the Source while resting or taking a walk.
Spiritual breakthroughs follow a similar pattern. You search for answers with intense curiosity and intention. Great teachers off the path of self-inquiry sought to answer the question, "Who am I really?"

The period following a wake-up call often requires letting yourself live in the stress of unanswered questions and unsolved problems.
It's a time of intense effort and practice- of longing for wisdom, for change.

This intensity breeds Tapas, or transformative heat-
burning off bad habits through purification,
refining your vessel,
and opening your psyche for revelation and insight.

Silence is an empty space.
Space is the home of the awakened mind. –
Buddha

Bernadette Roberts
The Experience of No-Self
All that need be said is that it is a dynamic, intense state
of taking care of whatever arises in the now-moment.
It is a continuous waking state
in which the physical organism remains sensitive, responsive,
and totally unimpaired.
When fully adjusted to the dimension of no-self,
nothing is found to be missing or wanting.
It is only in the encounter with other selves
that a self or affective system
is a reminder of what >was<.

"So there is only living in the now moment,
without feelings or practice of virtue,
without struggling or the measuring of action.

Roberts says,
"Somehow each moment contains within itself
the appropriate action for each tiny event in life
without the need for thought or feeling."

Deepening The Wonder
Hafiz

Death is a favour to us,
But our scales have lost their balance.
The impermanence of the body
Should give us great clarity,
Deepening the wonder in our senses and eyes
Of this mysterious existence we share
And are surely just traveling through.

If I were in the Tavern tonight,
Hafiz would call for drinks
And as the Master poured, I would be reminded
That all I know of life and myself is that
We are just a mid-air flight of golden wine
Between His Pitcher and His Cup.

If I were in the Tavern tonight,
I would buy freely for everyone in this world
Because our marriage with the Cruel Beauty
Of time and space cannot endure very long.

Death is a favour to us,
But our minds have lost their balance.
The miraculous existence and impermanence of Form
Always makes the illuminated ones
Laugh and Sing.
Hafiz

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men
to invent him a sentence to be ever in view,
and which should be true and appropriate
in all times and situations.

They presented him the words,
"And this too, shall pass away."

How much it expresses!
How chastening in the hour of pride!
How consoling in the depths of affliction!

There is a way of living in the world that is not here,

You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently.
Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet.
And the ones who walk the world as you do recognize their own.
Yet those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also,

When I flowed out from God, all things spoke: God is.
But this cannot make me happy,
for it makes me understand that I am a creature.
In the breakthrough, on the other hand,
where I stand free
of my own will and of the will of God
and of all his works and of God himself,
there I am above all creatures and am neither God nor creature.

Rather, I am what I was and what I shall remain now and forever….

In this breakthrough I discover that I and God are one.
There I am what I was, and I grow neither smaller nor bigger…
Here, then, God finds no place in people,
for people achieve with this poverty
what they were in eternity and will remain forever.

Extensive quotes helpful in "pointing towards"
a One's life condition since each planet entry
into the Mother's Womb

Understanding is never a fixed value
but a sort of free flow,
a fluid process of nature itself
that freely irrigates by merging thought and action.

There is only one state.
When corrupted and tainted by self-identification,
it is known as an individual.

When merely tinted by the sense of presence,
of animated consciousness,
it is the impersonal witnessing.

When it remains in its pristine purity,
untainted and untinted in primal repose,
it is the Absolute.

Bright but hidden, the Self dwells in the heart.
Everything that moves, breathes, opens, and closes
Lives in the Self. This is the Source of Love
And may be known through love but not through thought.
This is the goal of life.

Here are woven heaven and earth,
Mind and body. Realize this as the One
Behind the many and stop all vain talk.
This is the bridge from death to deathless life.

Where all the nerves meet like spokes in a wheel,
There dwells the One behind the many.
Meditate upon This in the mantram.
This is the guide from death to deathless life.

This Source of Love is before and behind.
It extends to the right and to the left.
It extends above; it extends below.
There is no one here but the This.
This alone is; in truth, This alone is.

AFTERNOON

Life can only find the space to reveal its beauty in complete surrender,
in total inability to be anything.
~ Éric Baret

Meditation is very simple.
It means to surrender the mind, the body, and the world,
from moment to moment,
to the silent presence in which they appear.
That’s all.
… Surrender the one who does anything,
who wants anything,
who is afraid of anything.
This one is an appearance.
This one is made of thoughts and feelings.
When this one is silent,
then the world, the body, and the mind
are surrendered to silence.
Nothing else needs to be done.
~ Francis Lucille
(‘The Perfume of Silence’)

When one makes an effort to be good,
in that very goodness is evil.
Everything affirmed contains its own opposite,
and effort to overcome strengthens that against which it strives.
When you demand an experience of truth or reality,
that very demand is born out of your discontent with what is,
and therefore the demand creates the opposite.
And in the opposite there is what has been.
So one must be free of this incessant demand,
otherwise there will be no end to the corridor of duality.
This means knowing yourself so completely
that the mind is no longer seeking.
~ J. Krishnamurti

To the mind that is still
the whole universe surrenders.
~ Buddha

Suppose you wanted to reach the sun in a cart pulled by oxen
– assuming there is a proper road from here to the sun for your oxen –
how many thousands of years would it take you?

If you were to go by boat on the cosmic ocean,
it would take you almost as much time.

If you were to take the train,
you would get there faster.
If you were to take a plane,
you would arrive even sooner.

And if you were to travel at the speed of light,
you would arrive in eight minutes and a few seconds.

What do these examples mean?
That someone who travels in an ox cart, that is,
who only uses the physical body’s means,
the old methods to solve all problems,
will only discover the truth thousands of years later.

For someone who travels on water, that is,
who walks at the speed of ordinary feelings,
it will take almost as long.

Someone who travels by air, who, in other words,
uses their intellect,
will go faster.

But someone who can travel via the spirit and intuition,
moves at the speed of light
and
discovers the truth immediately.

AFTERNOON

How surely gravity's law, strong as an ocean current,
takes hold of even the strongest thing and pulls it toward
the heart of the world.
Each thing - each stone, blossom, child - is held in place.
Only we, in our arrogance, push out beyond what we belong to
for some empty freedom.

If we surrendered to earth's intelligence
we could rise up rooted, like trees.
Instead we entangle ourselves in knots of our own making
and struggle, lonely and confused.

So, like children, we begin again to learn from the things,
because they are in God's heart; they have never left him.
This is what the things can teach us:
to fall, patiently to trust our heaviness.

Even a bird must do that before he can fly.

—Rainer Maria Rilke
what the things can teach us

When your world falls apart and you're left with just yourself,
you're forced to discover who you are without all the beliefs,
expectations, views, & self-image provided by some teacher or system.
The calculating mind gives way to the intuitive mind,
Knowing without Thinking.
Gabrielle Roth

To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self.
Sweat is holy water, prayer beads,
pearls of liquid that release your past.
The more you dance... the more you sweat, the more you pray.
The more you pray,
the closer you are to ecstasy.
Gabrielle Roth

Your soul is a seeker, lover and artist;
shape-shifting through archetypal energy,
between your darkness and fields of light,
your body and spirit,
your heaven and hell,
until you land in the moment of sweet surrender;
when you,
as a dancer,
disappear into the dance.
Gabrielle Roth

Put your body in motion and your psyche will heal itself.
Gabrielle Roth

Sweat your prayers, dance your pain, and move on.
~ Gabrielle Roth

Attachment guarantees that you will wake up every morning with a mission:
to prove you are who you think you are—today.
But it’s a total energy drain.
You’re so busy performing a role
that you miss out on the freedom to improvise,
to be real rather than rehearsed.
― Gabrielle Roth,

AFTERLIFE OF A MINDING-MIND March 16, 2019 "no personal self = no personal God"

3/16/2019

0 Comments

AFTERLIFE OF A MINDING-MIND:
NOTHING BETWEEN ME & THEE
...REGARDLESS OF FORMLESSNESS IN FORM
OF ANYTHING OR ANYONE…
CREATIONS’ CORE IS THE SAME
∞
WHEN THERE IS NO ME OR MINE
THERE IS NO PROBLEM
ew
12:09 AM-3/16/19

The SELF simply ‘IS’ and has no frame of reference
with which to ‘compare’ one state of Being with another …
there is only BEING.
While limitless attempts have been made
to ‘describe’ BEING-ness,
none are possible since BEING is infinite
and cannot be contained
with a frame of words.
John McIntosh
Excerpt from this Excellent short sharing
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/labels
Read just AFTER today's Morning Whisper above Surfaces

It is far more than the discovery of life without a self.
The immediate, inevitable result is an emergence
into a new dimension of knowing and being that entails
a difficult and prolonged readjustment.
The reflexive mechanism of the mind
-or whatever it is that allows us to be self-conscious -
is cut off or permanently suspended so the mind
is ever after held in a fixed now moment
out of which it cannot move in its uninterrupted gaze
upon the Unknown.
-- Bernadette Roberts
https://www.inspiringquotes.us/author/8712-bernadette-roberts

Only God is love, and for this love to be fully realized self must step aside.
And not only do we not need a self to love God,
but for the same reason we do not need a mind to know him,
for that in us which knows God,
is God.
-- Bernadette Roberts

The truest communication with God
is absolute, total silence;
there is not a single word in existence
that can convey this communication.
-- Bernadette Roberts

Coming home that day from the library, Roberts turned her gaze inward
and saw there was no longer a center, no longer a self.
There was emptiness.
She felt great joy and lightness with this knowledge.
She decided that this emptiness and joy was Christ.
She could live forever with that.
However, further annihilation was in the cards.

Chapter 2
After a while, the joy of the emptiness began to wane
and Roberts sought
to rejuvenate it by spending time alone,
simply gazing into the
emptiness,
which she was still sure was God.

On one such occasion, the emptiness expanded rapidly
and every sense of life became drained from her.
The realization that came was:
"When there is no personal self,
there is also no personal God."

This marked the end of an interior spiritual life, as well as any other
kind of life. Roberts felt now that she was on an unknown path,
lifeless, yet she recognized life all around her. She intensely felt the
need to be in nature, as life at home was too routine and lifeless.

Though she found herself in the midst of life during her time of the
day she spent in nature, she still had to deal with an intense
emptiness.

In a matter of days another realization arrived, a new way of perceiving
reality: "God of life was not IN anything, it was just the reverse:
everything was IN God."

At this point, Roberts comments on the limitations of language: "One
thing is for sure: as long as we are caught up in words, definitions,
and all that the mind wants to cling to, we can never see how it works.
And until we can go beyond our notions regarding the true nature of life
we will never realize how totally secure we really are
and how all the fighting for individual survival and self-security
is a waste of energy."

Roberts points out that the mystic depends upon the separation of God
and self for his mysticism, for his oneness experience that he or she so
values. But the no-self experience becomes the Only God experience, and
with God eternally accessible, where is the mystical experience, the
lights and visions? It is the end of the mystical life and the beginning
of real life.

And that is what Roberts is talking about all along. She repeats that
there is the theologically defined oneness of self with God, known in
its highest category by the mystics; and there is "undefineable
essential Oneness" beyond self and God, which theology does not deal
with. It is the becoming of God, not merely the relationship with God.
These are the two ways of seeing and knowing.

The final stage in Roberts' journey began when she finally came to terms
"with the nothingness and emptiness of existence
which, for me, seemed to be the equivalent of
living out my life without God -
or any such substitute.

Only when this came about,
only when the acclimation to a life
without an ultimate reality was complete;
when there was no hope, no trust remaining;
only when I had finally to accept what is,
did I suddenly realise
that what is,
is truth itself,
and All That Is. *

Just after sunrise...this white egret/heron stood for the longest in direct eyesight out of my window...see below slideshow for Timely symbolism of this bird....was speaking with younger brother via telephone re: amazing Unfoldments for many of us in the tropics.

Peace, harmony and working together for the common good
are but a few of the Great White Egret’s messages.
As members of the Heron family,
these magnificent beings carry a treasure trove of life lessons
(amplified when in pure white form).
https://amuseinharmony.com/2013/11/20/natures-wisdom-the-great-white-egret/

To the Maori a great egret, Kotuku, symbolizes everything rare and beautiful.
To say that someone is a Kotuku is a great compliment.
“Rare as the Kotuku” is a Maori proverb,
because great egrets are extremely rare in New Zealand.
The saying ‘He Kotuku rerenga tahi’
refers to the Kotuku as a magical bird of a single flight:
a sight permitted perhaps once in a lifetime.
When a person is referred to as a Kotuku Rerenga Tahi,
this means that this is a great sort person who is seldom found.

*If you wish to enter into this cloud of unknowing you must do something more:
“Just as the cloud of unknowing lies above you, between you and your God,
so you must fashion a cloud of forgetting beneath you,
between you and every living thing.

The cloud of unknowing,
will perhaps leave you with the feeling that you are far from God.
But no,
if it is authentic,
only the absence of a
cloud of forgetting
keeps you from him now…..

You are to concern yourself with no creature
whether material or spiritual
nor with their situation and doings
whether good or ill.

To put it briefly, during this work
you must abandon them all beneath
the cloud of forgetting.”[v]

AFTERNOON

Seaweed

I close my eyes
and breathe -
smell the seaweed
strewn across the sand,
hauntingly familiar,
the mind-madness
momentarily, magically
arrested.
Old memories
capture me
enrapture me
and I am freed
to wander
through old dreams.
Child, girl, woman
in moments of bliss
on English days.
Cold seas,
shells and seaweed.
Chalky country lanes,
the summer smell
of hot tar melting
on the road,
shimmering
like oily water
in the sun -
or a meadow,
cowslips and cowpats
sharing the space.

As I raise my face
in this foreign land
looking for release,
the smell of seaweed
more evocative
than any perfume
rescues me.
It winds itself
around me,
lingering,
like longing does.
Healing.

Senses saturated,
I drift away.
The generous sea
sends me home
on scented waves of salt.

Bernadette Roberts Quotes below in this font from:
https://www.inspiringquotes.us/author/8712-bernadette-roberts

But coming home that day,
walking downhill with a panorama of valley and hills before me,
I turned my gaze inward,
and what I saw, stopped me in my tracks.
Instead of the usual unlocalized centre of myself,
there was nothing there, it was empty,
and at the moment of seeing this
there was a flood of quiet joy and I knew,
finally I knew what was missing-
it was my "self".
-- Bernadette Roberts

...a point is reached
where the self is so completely aligned with the still-point
that it can no longer be moved,
even in its first movements, from this center.
It can no longer be tested by any force or trial,
nor moved by the winds of change,
and at this point the self has obviously outworn its function;
it is no longer needed or useful,
and life can go on without it.
-- Bernadette Roberts

The truest communication with God
is absolute, total silence;
there is not a single word in existence
that can convey this communication.
-- Bernadette Roberts

I went on to discover that in its deepest sense,
the will is not primarily the faculty of desire for anything known,
but rather, the desire for something unknown,
animate desire for something that lies beyond ourselves,
a longing for something we know is missing in us...”
-- Bernadette Roberts

To be forgiven is not enough;
we must put an end to the very need to be forgiven.
-- Bernadette Roberts

When there is no longer a cyclone,
there is no longer an eye.
So the storms, crises and sufferings of life
are a way of finding the eye.
-- Bernadette Roberts

The onset of this second movement
is characterized by the falling away of self
and coming upon "that" which remains when it is gone.
But this going-out is an upheaval,
a complete turnabout of such proportions
it cannot possibly be missed,
under-emphasized, or sufficiently stressed
as a major landmark in the contemplative life.
-- Bernadette Roberts

...a point is reached where the self is so completely aligned
with the still-point that it can no longer be moved,
even in its first movements, from this center.
It can no longer be tested by any force or trial,
nor moved by the winds of change,
and at this point the self has obviously outworn its function;
it is no longer needed or useful,
and life can go on without it.”
-- Bernadette Roberts

It is one step, and a giant one, to see clearly and participate
in the love that flows between the persons of the Trinity,
but even here, God is seen as the object of his own love.
It is yet another step to realize
that God is beyond all subject and object
and is Himself love without subject or object.
This is the step beyond our highest experiences of love and union,
a step in which self is not around to divide, separate,
objectify or claim anything for itself.
Self does not know God; it cannot love him,
and from the beginning has never done so.
-- Bernadette Roberts

Only God is love,
and for this love to be fully realized self must step aside.
And not only do we not need a self to love God,
but for the same reason we do not need a mind to know him,
for that in us which knows God,
is God.
-- Bernadette Roberts

The truest communication with God
is absolute, total silence;
there is not a single word in existence
that can convey this communication.

AFTERNOON

The afternoon beach was so Auspicious...
.....just "have" to share most all of the photos below......

Yesterday I remembered why I don't sit around much these days ~
I don't want to get back up and these days I must.
So, keeping busy keeps my energy on an even keel.
I start "early" and I crash "early" ~
early compared to others in my orbit.

Anyway I did take some time this morning
to begin a new journal with the motto, "I Am Love".
My intention is to come back to a neutral position
anytime I feel my emotions are coloring my perceptions.

That reminds me that I don't have to interpret or judge or fix
or make things better for anyone.
Just notice what I am receiving from the universe
and allow that phrase to continue to refine my vibration.
miriam harmony
12/17/18 early morning

Suppose I try saying something.
What way do I have of knowing that if I say
I know something I don't really know it?
Or what way do I have of knowing that if I say I don't know something
I don't really in fact know it?

I am going to try speaking some reckless words,
and I want you to listen to them recklessly.
How will that be?
–Chuang Tzu

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.
