When people come to me and they ask,
'How to meditate?'
I tell them,
'There is no need to ask how to meditate,
just ask how to remain unoccupied.
Meditation happens spontaneously.
Just ask how to remain unoccupied, that's all.
That's the whole trick of meditation –
how to remain unoccupied.
Then you cannot do anything.
The meditation will flower.'
Osho,
Just Like That, Talk #6

The meditation I am talking about is not a meditation on something:
rather, it is a state of meditation.
So this is what I mean when I am talking to you about meditation as a state. Meditation does not mean remembering someone.
Meditation means to drop everything which is in one's memory
and to come to a state where only consciousness remains,
where only awareness remains.

MID-MORNING DELIGHT!

AFTERNOON....

The mystic Simone Weil tells us,
“The danger is not that the soul should doubt
whether there is any bread,
but that, by a lie, it should persuade itself that it is not hungry.”

Compassion reminds us that we do belong,
as surely as we have been lost.
Always remember to put your trust in compassion and self-love.
From this comes a shift of identity,
a release from the covering of clay,
a return to our original goodness.
~Jack Kornfield

what is awareness?
a power of the one who sees to engage and direct.....

Another tool to cultivate your attention is what I call
"active empathy."
Learn to employ Walt Whitman's "invisible hand'
and empathetically reach to to touch the surfaces, textures,
weight, and shapes of what is seen.
Use your empathetic hand to sense the subject within your own body-
in an active engagement with seeing.
You might also call this your "listening sense."
Try this with your whole body;
inwardly move and dance to the rhythms inherent in the subject.
Inward attention can directly receive what the subject emanates.
When you look in this way,
the world becomes a living being available to your awareness.
Treat the world as a thou, not an it.

I had learned a great truth, however.
One tries to teach others at one’s peril.
It is better to leave one’s fellow men to sleep in peace
than to disturb their slumbers.
Let not those who know unsettle the minds of the ignorant who know nothing.
How could I, a careful student of the Bhagavad Gita,
have missed the significance of that verse?

Don Juan offered a similar message:
A warrior does not squeeze his world out of shape.
He taps it lightly and passes on leaving hardly a trace.

That was it.
By playing the guru, I had squeezed out of shape
the people with whom I had come in contact.
I had also squeezed myself out of shape
by trying to play a role not in accord with my essence.
The Missionary, that babbling fool, had betrayed me.

Well, I had learned a lesson and would not forget it.
In the future,
NO MORE TALK.

Live by the rule of the dervish:
Don’t volunteer information about the Way,
but be willing to answer honest questions.

What are honest questions?
Honest questions contain the seeds of their own answers
and above that
the questioners have tried to solve the problems themselves.

Dishonest questions show
that the questioners are trying to get something for nothing,
making conversation, indulging in idle curiosity, or showing off.
Those liable to ask questions about the Way
generally want someone else to do their thinking for them.
The rest just don’t care.
So the dervish can continue on his way in solitude,
unimpeded by either companions or possessions.

   “Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne
                                                     He travels fastest who travels Alone.”
                                                                              Kipling

Mid-Morning Bicycle Trip to Harbour Side of Island/Old Airport Air Strip

When the artist loses himself in his art, then the art comes to life.
Bowl of Saki, December 11, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
One must not only be an artist; one must become art itself.
Then to the one who is so absorbed in his work that he forgets himself,
that capacity, that intuition, that skill will come naturally.
He begins to do wonders,
and his art becomes a perfect expression of what he had in mind. ...
People think that it is the artist who has made it;
in reality, it is God who has perfected it.
As it is God's pleasure to create the world,
so it is also God's pleasure
to create through pen and brush and chisel, to
give life to what is lifeless.

from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/X/X_4_8.htm

The artist who has arrived at some perfection in his art,
whatever his art may be,
will come to realize that it is not he who ever achieved anything;
it is someone else who came forward every time.
And when the artist produces a perfect thing,
he finds it difficult to imagine that it has been produced by him.
He can do nothing but bow his head in humility
before that unseen power and wisdom which takes his body,
his heart, his brain, and his eyes as its instrument.
Whenever beauty is produced in art, be it music, or poetry,
or painting, or writing, or anything else,
one must never think that man produced it.
It is through man that God completes His creation.
Thus there is nothing that is done in this world or in heaven
that is not divine immanence,
which is not divine creation. ...

What is art?
Art is the creation of beauty in whatever form it is created.
As long as an artist thinks that whatever he creates
in the form of art is his own creation,
and as long as he is vain about his creation,
he has not learned true art.

True art can only come on one condition,
and that is that the artist forgets himself --
that he forgets himself in the vision of beauty.
... We are vehicles or instruments that respond.
If we respond to goodness, goodness becomes our property.
If we respond to evil, then evil becomes our property.
If we respond to love, then love becomes our possession.

THE GRACE OF EVERSHINING’S OVERFLOW

EFFORTLESS EASE IN ALL DIMENSIONS

2:59 AM-12/9/17

Learning to be measured, to be steady in our pace,
is a process that must take place in the body.
When we strive to do things we are learning strife.
When we strain we are leaning strain.
In time practice helps us learn to move more easily,
to be un-driven, to flow.

Study the way waves wash onto the shore,
or the way rings float out on a lake
when a pebble splashes through the surface,
moving without apparent effort. There is
an organic pace to this. We, too, have an organic pace.
Silence can help us feel it.

When we sit quietly we will sense
how long an interval of siting is right for us.
When we practice steadily we will also know
how often to return to silence in any given day.
~Gunilla Norris
just a few moments.
really. just a few moments can make all the difference in all that we know…
….we think we know……
inquiry for today~ can you find 20 minutes to sit? even in the parking lot of wherever you are…..check in…..re-discover the meaning behind your day…….

We all have places in our lives
that we unconsciously avoid giving too much awareness to.
These places remain in the shadows, in the dark unknown.
The more in touch we are with who we truly are-
joyful, free, selfless, and pure-
the more those shadows recede.
~Daju Suzanne Friedman
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2017/12/08/26616/

Nowhere to run.
No secret trap doors.
No meditating it away.
No hiding out in the present moment.
The only way out is through.
Into the arms of the beloved,
in whatever form he or she happens to take.
Into our own arms,
and into the unresolvable mysteries of separation and union.
Perhaps there are none which are sweeter.
And fiercer.
And darker.
And filled with light.
Matt Licata

When the human heart becomes conscious of God
it turns into the sea and it spreads;
it extends the waves of its love to friend and foe.
Spreading further and further
it attains perfection.
Hazrat Kahn

I AM FOREVER walking upon these shores,
Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my foot-prints,
And the wind will blow away the foam.
But the sea and the shore will remain
Forever.

(from Omraam)
Tuesday, December 5, 2017

We only achieve that which we have already envisioned
and prepared in our minds.
This is a matter worthy of deep reflection.
The way in which we consider people and things
is what counts and what is effective,
and we can verify this in every domain of life.

For example,
if you see the person you share your life with
as someone who makes it possible for you to satisfy your material needs,
to indulge your vanity, and to unleash your sensuality and desires for pleasure,
you are linking yourself to the lower forces of the astral plane,
and you should not be surprised if, one day,
you see all your dreams of happiness collapse.

On the other hand,
if you make the habit of considering this person
as a manifestation of divinity,
then through you will connect heavenly powers.
You will receive great blessings and will be filled with joy.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

AFTERNOON...

Here’s a bonus secret:
there are no mistakes in art, and if life is art
- which it most definitely is-
then there are no mistakes in life either.

Quit holding yourself hostage with externally imposed standards.
Be ethical but be you, all of you:
messy and glorious in your authentic imperfection.

Art is not necessarily what you make.
It’s not about impressing anyone.
It’s about sinking down into the heart of your heart,
becoming your own roots and wings,
and living every moment you can from that home base.

Art will flow from that, whether it’s painting, writing,
dancing, laughing and releasing those around you
to feel their own joy,
loving yourself as gently and deeply as your child
or whoever your most sacred relationship is with,
or even scrubbing the baseboards
in your living room.

Art is not a product.
It is a way of living.

Just keep defining your own path and walking it with bravery.
You will be blind with doubt.
You will crawl certain days.
Keep moving and trust your inner compass.
Trust you.
Life is sublime and devastating,
but it doesn’t own you.
It cannot break you.

We come into and leave this world alone.
If you know and accept and love you,
that should be a comfort,
not a terror.
You always have a place in this universe.
You always have you.

Life is art.
Life is magic.
And so are you.

~Atreya E.

To what does the love of God lead?
It leads to that peace and stillness
which can be seen in the life of the tree
which flowers and bears fruit for others and expects no return.
Peace will not come to the lover's heart
so long as he will not become love itself.
Hazrat Kahn
