JUST IS "An old joy returns in holy presence." September 25, 2020

A GENTLE SIGHING INHALE/EXHALE OF RELIEF

Man has always lived in unconsciousness,
but the darkness was never as much as it is today.
There have been nights,
but always the dawn has come.

This time it seems to be doubtful
whether the dawn will come or not.

I am not a pessimist,
but I am no longer an optimist either.
I used to be — now, I am simply a realist.

And the reality is:
perhaps we are very close to
the end of this beautiful planet,
with all its beauty,
all its life,
and all its great achievements.

There seems to be no ray of hope from anywhere.
And perhaps when I am saying this,
it is not me who is saying it;
perhaps it is existence itself who has lost hope about humanity and its future.

Looking back over a lifetime,
you see that love was the answer to everything.
—Ray Bradbury

A wayfinder’s Imagination doesn’t dominate reality.
It feels into Oneness, falls in love with
“what wants to happen,”
and gives itself to the vision
created by that love.
—Martha Beck

No man is so guileless as
the serpent. The lonely white
rabbit on the roof is a star
twitching its ears at the rain.

The llama intricately
folding its hind legs to be seated
not disdains but mildly
disregards human approval.

What joy when the insouciant
armadillo glances at us and doesn't
quicken his trotting
across the track and into the palm brush.

What is this joy? That no animal
falters, but knows what it must do?

That the snake has no blemish,
that the rabbit inspects his strange surroundings
in white star-silence? The llama
rests in dignity, the armadillo
has some intention to pursue in the palm-forest.

Those who were sacred have remained so,
holiness does not dissolve, it is a presence
of bronze, only the sight that saw it
faltered and turned from it.

An old joy returns in holy presence.

—Denise Levertov

I must admit that more than ever before,
I have come to appreciate those times of silent stillness,
of peace-filled solitude,
to just be,
where there is nothing to do or to say,
yet where there is everything to gain.

When I was young,
I never knew that silent stillness held such richness or such deep peace ...
yet this is the current of energy for this new time,
it is always there,
within and around us,
waiting, nurturing, present ....

Life is a Continuum

From the tip-top of January
to the bottom of every December;
life is a continuum.
May we remember to remember

There are no platforms on which we
halt. No arrivals at which we are landing
There is only continuous movement.
Blend motion into all planning.

Next is a good four-letter word that dances
on the tongue and illuminates the playgrounds
of our minds. Next can call loudly or soft
and subtle when it chimes.

Within the cold of winter, remember next are
the fragrant flowers of spring. Next reminds us
there is no be-all or end-all to anything.

When riding a high tide or if a low tide
has you feeling sadness or perplexed,
know true muscle can be found
in how well we just say … Next!

What calls the ear to listen or the eye to see
more than the surface facade that shrouds our essential spirit?
Parting the strata and dross, what is essential picks its way
through the manicured narrative of endless lives.

In each moment of every day, Truth is not lacking or held in
abeyance for some later date;
it is given in full measure,
and abundantly so.

Do not be afraid of what appears to be
chaos or dissolution - embrace the full measure of your life
at any cost.
Bare your heart to the Unknown
and
never
look back.

What you are stands content, invisible,
and everlasting.

All means have been provided for our
endless folly to split open into eternal delight.

It seems as if apart from gratitude,
that the current virtue rising in the fields of Earth is compassion,
plus a loving awareness of the power
of kindness to self and all life.

I also love Grace
where Grace is an energy that is attracted to us
when we flood our systems
with the cosmic electricity
of
Divine Love and Divine Wisdom
and
Divine Power.

Grace brings magic and synchronicity and joy,
a feeling that everything is flowing perfectly,
unfolding perfectly driven by
some Divinely orchestrated beat.

Grace is the feminine principle,
the cosmic mother of nurturing love
that supports and soothes creation.

Many are also hearing a heart felt call to make life simpler,
to be more loving in all we are and do
and to make sure that we also spend time self nurturing
as we also ensure that our presence
is also nurturing for all life on Earth.

The first step in love is losing your head.
After the petty ego you then give up your life and bear the calamity.

With this behind you, proceed:
polish the ego's rust from
the mirror of your self.

—Fakhr al-Din Iraqi
Love's Alchemy
David and Sabrineh Fideler version

The truth is, indeed,
that love is
the threshold of another universe.

The Spiritual Work of Old Age

It is interesting to note that the Indian (Hindu) culture
puts the age for the most intense spiritual work
at the end of life, in old age.
When you get older you see more clearly
that you have very little physical or will power left
to create or even change situations in your life.

Every age has its own job or task,
and the task of old age is learning to live with loss of all kinds,
not just loss of people around you who pass away,
but also loss of your faculties,
of your ability to see clearly, hear well,
and move about in the world.

These things begin to fall away
and we must learn to let them go
because no amount of struggle will turn back the years.
It is in our acceptance that we see we need to deepen
our trust in God,
in what lies beyond our own effort.

In old age there is a loss of identity,
of who or what you have been to others and in the world.

Every older person knows personally
how it is to fade into invisibility.
These lessons, and the acceptance of their truth
teaches you about the end of self.

I have been at the bedside of people who were dying
and who had not particularly lived
what might be called a spiritual life in the modern jargon,
but who were good decent people,
people who believed in God.

There is a process that takes place with many of them
as they are going toward their death,
where they seem to realize the profundity
of what is happening to them and therefore
are able to let go with a kind of hopefulness.

This is the gradual erasing or transformation of self.
And when self begins to be transformed or to fade,
What Remains comes into view.

AFTERNOON

willing to be

Nobody told us that what we are is a point of awareness, or pure spirit.
This isn't something we're taught.
Rather, what we were taught
was to identify with our name.
We were taught to identify with our birth date.

We were taught to identify with the next thought that we have.
We were taught to identify with all the memories
our mind collects about the past.

But all that was just teaching: all that was just more thinking.

When you stand in your own authority,
based in your own direct experience,
you meet that ultimate mystery that you are.

Even though it may be at first unsettling
to look into your own no-thingness,
you do it anyway.
Why?

Because you no longer want to suffer.
Because you're willing to be disturbed.
You're willing to be amazed.
You're willing to be surprised.

Even though it may be at first unsettling
to look into your own no-thingness,
you do it anyway.
Why?

Because you no longer want to suffer.
Because you’re willing to be disturbed.

You’re willing to be amazed.
You’re willing to be surprised.

You’re willing to realize that maybe
everything you’ve ever thought about yourself
really isn’t true.”
~ Adyashanti
Falling into Grace

put thoughts to rest
Wherever you are can be considered the center,
because all directions from you are infinite;
and, therefore, if you wish to put it this way,
they are all the same distance.

No one spot really is any more
‘The’ center than any other spot;
no one spot is really more the end,
or the edge, than any other spot.

No one reality is actually any more or less ‘real’
than any other reality.

Everything is the same one thing;
the same one thing manifesting in all the simultaneous,
multidimensional ways that it can manifest.

—Bashar

Put thoughts to rest.
The real being, with no status,
is always going in and out
through the doors of your face.

If you want to be free, get to know your real self.
It has no form, no appearance, no root, no basis, no abode,
but is lively and buoyant.
It responds with versatile facility,
but its function cannot be located.

Therefore when you look for it you become further from it,
when you seek it you turn away from it all the more.

Just put thoughts to rest
and
don't seek outwardly anymore.

When things come up, then give them your attention;
just trust what is functional in you at present,
and you have nothing to be concerned about.

If you want to perceive and understand objectively,
just don't allow yourself to be confused by people.

Detach from whatever you find inside or outside yourself –
detach from religion, tradition, and society,
and only then will you attain liberation.

When you are not entangled in things,
you pass through freely to autonomy.
