The first contemplative movement
is described as union of the self with God,
where God is the "still-point and axis" of being.
In the first movement.
self is not yet lost, but functions as a higher self
in its union with God.
The sense of personal selfhood remains.
Abiding in God remains.
Being centered in God remains.
The divine life remains.
God and
self remain.

But in the second contemplative movement,
self and God fall away,
and "that" remains.
Union with God gives way to God beyond union.
The mind becomes fixed in the permanent now.
The self's union with God
transcends
itself.

"Here now," Roberts says,
"begins the journey beyond union,
beyond self and God,
a journey into
the silent and still
regions of the unknown."

Walk the Earth in Silence,
in the stillness of Being,
communing, listening,
hearing, sensing, feeling.

Walk the Earth in Silence
of unassuming, open,
receptive, awareness;
leaving only a trace
of a footstep here and there.

Walk the Earth in Silence
from the stillness of the Heart;
standing at the still-point,
in the hush of the Mystery...

Speak the language of Silence,
Heart to Heart,
whispered wordlessly
in the silent Rhythm..

Be the Source of Y/Our Smile

Aspiration is our inner urge
to transcend both the experience & the
realization already achieved.
Aspiration is surrender,
And surrender is man’s
Conscious oneness with God’s will.

Aspiration from within
Energizes the Divine in me.

Search for the Source of your Smile.
You will see that the Source
is God’s own Aspiration-Cry.

Sing not soulful songs with your yesterday’s mind.
Sing fruitful songs with your today’s heart.

I set out to the wild lands, to the forests,
and the sea, and found myself looking for a way
to forget all I had been helplessly bequeathed,
and to remember instead all that had been left out.
Jack Haas
IN AND OF-memoirs of a mystic journey

All quotes below in blue & gold color font are from Jack Haas
See Read More - at end of afternoon photos

To blend in and become one with the majesty of nature,
is not only to know the peace and beauty of these colossal wonders,
but also to become that very peace and beauty itself,
and therefore to recognize from a different perspective
the horrors of mankind’s rapacity.
It is to be sucked into the belly of a wonderful whale
and then be spat out in Nineveh
with no desire to do what you cannot avoid doing.
Which is to say, I had come, over time,
to certain essential, troubling realizations,
and I could no longer hide the pain from myself,
and my pain was the world’s pain,
and so I could no longer hide the world from itself.

I had no real understanding of what the word ‘ugly’ meant
until the first time I spent a couple of months
in the towering forests of the west coast wilds,
and then returned quickly to the land of pavement,
square structures, signs, lights, idiotic haircuts,
automobiles, cosmetics, and functionless clothing.
Never have I forgotten the shock which these unsightly creations
betrayed to my virginal sight.
How my eye became so weary and sore all of the sudden,
just standing on a city street,
or sitting in a house,
no matter how superlatively decorated.

What a wound it became to my very soul
to spend day after day immersed in such
visual and psychic excrement.

I realized then that the natural glories and miracles
which the earth has brought forth cannot help but make mankind’s constructions
appear like the finger paintings of blind, insecure brats.
I wonder if this is why we have been so eager to rid ourselves of the earth’s great treasures
- the forests and the beasts-
because these make us feel so little,
so unimpressive,
so dumb.

It was in these places, where the mighty trees meet the pounding surf,
that I held communion with the land and spirits therein,
with the unique individuals who willfully populate these remote and untamed places,
with God, and, most importantly ...with myself.

Were it not for these stretches of awe-inspiring, deserted, primordial wilderness,
untainted nor scarred by the likes of men,
I would surely have passed from this earth long ago.

Were it not for the sweeping cedars, the awkward croon of the ravens,
the peace of the eagle, the untamable spirit of the bear,
and the freedom and abundance which is a gift of the sea,
I would have gone crazy amongst a society for which I had grown sour early in life,
and for which I held little need, little respect, and little expectation.

Youngest son...Justin....Far North end of Harbour Island Beach March 2006

And so the grand and virgin cedar forests and wild coast of British Columbia,
dotted with softly tinted islands running out forever in the mist of the setting sun,
would bring me to a voiceless, lonely rapture and open me up like a vacuum,
sucking all of mankind’s dross and memory from my core,
for it was on this part of the great orb, amongst the magnificent forests,
the crashing surf,
and the unknowable wildness of it all,
that I had become intoxicated with the earth.

Far South End Harbour Island March 2006

I have never known such uncluttered beauty as exists out there on the coast.
It must be how the soft light mingles up from the ocean and onto each successive island, until the sky is reached,
and the panorama sits like a shifting water color of gentle hues
composed of no color the mind can capture,
for it is not a color,
it is a feel.

The word “Shiva” literally means “that which is not”.
The basis of existence and the fundamental quality of the cosmos is vast nothingness.
The galaxies are just a tiny sprinkling, but the rest is all dark empty space.
This is referred to as Shiva:
the womb from which everything is born
and the oblivion into which everything is sucked back.
And so, Shiva is described not as a being, but a non-being.

LIVING SILENCE OF PRISTINE BEING "...crossed the line...." Sunrise/Afternoon August 30, 2016

ew
3:28 AM-8/30/16

The comings and goings which I undertook in my person,
now occur within me,
for this life is the plane in which things appear and disappear,
allowing us to learn how to let go.

And so I take leave, for I have crossed the line, so to speak.

Know that the spirit also crashes
onto the shore of life, slowly, ever slowly,
tearing down the solid, imprisoned rocks and islands of the soul,
grinding the stones into sand, and creating a beach,
a place where we can walk upon more easily,
where two unique worlds come together,
and through our hearts unite into one.
Jack Haas

(excerpt from In and Of: Memoirs of a Mystic Journey, by Jack Haas)
http://www.spiritandflesh.com/bookMemoirAutobiographyLifeStoryJourney_religion_spirituality.htm

The Way is present before our eyes,
yet what is before our eyes is difficult to understand.
People like the unusual and enjoy the new;
they miss what is right in front of their eyes
and do not know where the Way is.
The Way is the immediate presence:
if you are unaware of the immediate presence,
then your mind races, your intellect runs, and you go on thinking compulsively.
All of this is due to shallowness of spiritual power,
and the shallowness of spiritual power is due to racing in the mind.
—From The Secret of the Golden Flower.
Translation by Thomas Cleary

When the mind is seen as
Continually kidnapped by thoughts,
The first step toward freedom
Has been taken.
Now, cease listening to
What is being heard.
Instead, listen to
What is listening.
Wu Hsin

The comings and goings which I undertook in my person,
now occur within me,
for this life is the plane in which things appear and disappear,
allowing us to learn how to let go.

God is here and now, with me, in me, of me;
the one which is both of us,
wrapped in the embrace between spirit and flesh,
without reason, without assumption, without concern. In, and of.

And so I take leave, for I have crossed the line, so to speak.

Know that a part of me remains somewhere,
far-off on the northern, wild coast, forgetting and forgotten, alone and not alone,
sane and not sane, alive and not alive,
in agony from the impossible beauty of it all,
bewildered, rapt, and laughing.

Know that the spirit also crashes onto the shore of life,
slowly, ever slowly, tearing down the solid, imprisoned rocks and islands of the soul,
grinding the stones into sand, and creating a beach,
a place where we can walk upon more easily,
where two unique worlds come together,
and through our hearts unite into one.

How surely gravity’s law,
strong as an ocean current,
takes hold of even the smallest 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 each 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 [God].
This is what the things can teach us:
to fall,
patiently to trust our heaviness.

Even a bird has to do that
before he can fly.
--Rainer Maria Rilke

http://makebelieveboutique.com/2016/02/28/15487/

Beauty comes from a spirit that has weathered many hardships in life and somehow continues with resilience.
Grace can be found in a soul that ages softly even amid the tempest.
I think the loveliest by far is the one whose gentle heart
bears a hundred scars from caring,
yet still finds a way to pick up the lamp one more time,
to light the way of love.
~Susan Frybort

so much of our ability to love comes from our innate senses, from our capacity toward wonderment, from our willingness to be real.......

Sweet Jesus, talking
his melancholy madness,
stood up in the boat
and the sea lay down,
silky and sorry.
So everybody was saved
that night.

But you know how it is
when something
different crosses
the threshold - the uncles
mutter together,
the women walk away,
the young brother begins
to sharpen his knife.

Nobody knows what the soul is.
It comes and goes
like the wind over the water -
sometimes, for days,
you don't think of it.

Maybe, after the sermon,
after the multitude was fed,
one or two of them felt
the soul slip forth
like a tremor of pure sunlight
before exhaustion,
that wants to swallow everything,
gripped their bones and left them
miserable and sleepy,
as they are now, forgetting
how the wind tore at the sails
before he rose and talked to it -

tender and luminous and demanding
as he always was -
a thousand times more frightening
than the killer storm.
~Mary Oliver

Stuff your eyes with wonder.
~Ray Bradbury

'Wonder' is the open freedom of the pure mind-
-the first and last pillar upon which the castle of the Spirit is built.
It is the beginning and the end,
the home and the journey there.

Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings
but contemplate their return.

If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
And when death comes, you are ready.
Chuang Tzu

Remain in wonder
if you want the mysteries to open up for you.
Mysteries never open up for those who go on questioning. Questioners sooner or later end up in a library.
Questioners sooner or later end up with scriptures,
because scriptures are full of answers.
And answers are dangerous,
they kill your wonder.

The Song of Unknowing Sunrise/Afternoon June 5, 2015

6/5/2015

grace approaching

There is a grace approaching
that we shun as much as death,
it is the completion of our birth.

It does not come in time,
but in timelessness
when the mind sinks into the heart
and we remember.

It is an insistent grace
that draws us to the edge
and beckons us surrender
safe territory and enter our enormity.

We know we must pass
beyond knowing and fear the shedding.

But we are pulled upward none-the-less
through forgotten ghosts and unexpected angels, luminous.

And there is nothing left to say
but we are That.

And that is what we sing about.

".......only the Great Unknown." Sunrise/Afternoon May 15, 2015

5/15/2015

I cannot tell what I am because
words can describe only what I am not.
I am beyond consciousness and. therefore,
in consciousness I cannot say what I am.

The question "Who am I" has no answer.
No experience can answer it, for the self is beyond experience.
I am free from all description and identification.

Whatever you may hear, see, or think of, I am not that.
I am free from being a precept, or a concept.

Our souls are only created to dance; it is their nature to dance and it is the tragedy of life when the soul is kept from dancing.
Our craving for comfort and outward satisfaction,
our ambition, our desires are nothing but the longing
to experience that dance, as we know it.
Paradise is pictured by every teacher
as a place where there is music and dance.
Music itself is dance,
poetry is the dance of words,
singing the
dance of the voice.

Only when inspiration comes naturally
it is a life coming from the depth of the individual.

Every once and a while, take off your life, and rest.
–Nayyirah Waheed
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/05/not-to-worry_14.html

Imagine if all the tumult of the body were to quiet down,
along with our busy thoughts.

Imagine if all things that are perishable grew still.

And imagine if that moment were to go on and on,
leaving behind all other sights and sounds but this one vision
which ravishes and absorbs
and fixes the beholder in joy,
so that the rest of eternal life were like that moment of
illumination, which leaves us breathless.

–Saint Augustine
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/05/imagine.html

Just rest.

Just sit there right now
Don’t do a thing
Just rest. For your separation from God,
From love,
Is the hardest work
In this
World.

Let me bring you trays of food
And something
That you like to
Drink.

You can use my soft words
As a cushion
For your
Head.

Centered .... "....original, pristine spectacularness" Sunrise/Afternoon May 14, 2015

5/14/2015

Thus the lucky, brave, or innocent individual
who receives this intoxication of absolute wonder-
of the complete non-understanding of all that 'is', including their own self-
no longer needs a reasonable explanation of life,
because they are wholly free from the mind's interventions;
for them there is nothing gained by trying to apprehend an explanation
...of the unexplainable.
Ideas no longer matter, knowledge is gone for good, and the whole of life
swells and returns to its
original pristine spectacularness.

and the whole world seems very stange,
in a pleasant kind of way."

At the center of your being, you have the answer;
you know who you are and you know what you want.
—Lao Tzu

In the point of rest at the center of our being,
we encounter a world
where all things are at rest in the same way.

Then a tree becomes a mystery,
a cloud a revelation,
each man a cosmos of whose riches
we can only catch glimpses.

YES, YOU SENSE YET ANOTHER EGO DEMISE…
RELAX INTO IT AND SEE WHAT WONDERS WILL BE WROUGHT.
I AM TAKING YOU FURTHER HOME, DEAR HEART…

.AWAY FROM YOUR OWN PERSONAL THOUGHTS THAT WILL ATTRACT HAVOC AND CHAOS.

BEYOND ANY THOUGHT, HOPE OR IMAGINATION,
CAN I TRULY WORK THRU YOU IN AS PURE A MANNER AS IS VITAL AND NECESSARY.
GRIEVE OVER NOTHING.
IF YOU FEEL DISAPPOINTMENT AND GRIEF,
KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A HUMAN EXPECTATION
THAT MUST ALSO BE MELTED INTO THE NOTHINGNESS WITH ME.

REJOICE THAT THERE IS YET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY
TO LET GO OF SOMETHING YOU THOUGHT, YOU BELIEVED…
THERE IS NO YOU, SEPARATE FROM ME, TO THINK OR BELIEVE.

Transcending Possession

Words Scribed from that which is “older than God”*
*#4 Tao

We go on forever,
and this is the problem,
for our eternity rends the walls of all our paradigms;
it is an understanding which we try so hard to avoid
because it brings no alleviation to the way
in which we require goals and accomplishments
so as to position ourselves in the fluid complexity.

Yet it brought me to that type of peace
which comes from not needing to partake of everything all at once,
from not desiring to attain what I did not have,
from not needing to be something,
or become something else,
because there is no need to rush about in eternity,
for everything will happen, like it or not,
and it will not cease, and when you know this about the world and yourself
you begin to require less,
and do less,
and you sort of ease back,
not out of fulfillment,
but out of knowing that the all keeps going,
no matter what,
and therefore the little matters begin to fade away,
and only what is eternal remains,
calm in the acquiescent acknowledgment that nothing is ever gained nor lost,
and the passing show will flicker and fade,
as it is wont to do,
and the grief and glory will come and go with it,
but the Self shall continue forward,
softly watching from the other side of dying.

Interior of the hand.
Sole that has come to walk
only on feelings.
That faces upward
and in its mirror receives heavenly roads,
which travel along themselves.

That has learned to walk upon water
when it scoops,
that walks upon wells,
transfiguring every path.

That steps into other hands,
changes those that are like it
into a landscape:
wanders and arrives within them,
fills them with arrival.

I had to grow foul with knowledge, realize the futility of everything,

I had to arrive at the brink and then take a leap in the dark.

That is, the Pearl of Great Price,
The Holy Grail, the Vision of God, Nirvana, Valhalla,
Heaven, or Salvation, call it what you will,
it will not be found until the individual forgets who they are,
and what they are looking for.
Then they shall find it.

For, as Aleister Crowley relates:
"Men smote me; then perceiving that I was but a Pure Fool, they let me pass.
Thus and not otherwise I came to the Temple of the Graal."

"Idiotic Gentleness" Sunrise/Afternoon April 9, 2015

4/9/2015

Queen Bird who had been hovering close! over my head

I am not referring to the simple-minded.
The desirable thing is to be intelligent and not to understand.
It is a strange blessing. like experiencing madness without being insane.
It is quiet indifference, and idiotic gentleness."

A "Touch of Clearsightedness" Sunrise September 15, 2013

9/15/2013

"One touch of clearsightedness
reduces us to our primal state:
nakedness..."
E. M. Cioran
**p.129

“....can I die to each action throughout the day,
so that the mind never accumulates
and is therefore never contaminated by the past,
but is always new, fresh, innocent?”
Jiddu Krishmamurti
**p. 129

“Abandoning the cunning instruments of the mind,
with which he had vainly hoped to pierce the mystery,
he now stands before the veil of creation naked and awe-struck.
He divines what is in store for him.
Everything becomes personal in a new sense.
He becomes himself a new person.”
Henry Miller
**p. 129

"Out of this emptiness the new is."
J.Krishnamurti

BE THE VISION - Late Afternoon September 12, 2013

9/13/2013

WINGS and HOUSE ON A DUNE

In Honour of All
those in Process
and all
Ones who BE the Vision
Having Survived and Responded to “The Call”

House on a Dune

House on a Dune
directly above Wing Shell

“Have the Vision and Leave the Details up to God”
becomes
“BE THE VISION”.

Synchronicity is a way of life.

Effortless Ease..

Held beyond the opposites or even any preferences.

These Ones are magnetically drawn to One another when it is Time.
Sometimes,
perhaps most times,
Seemingly out of Nowhere!
ew

For years, on this beach,
coming upon a WING SHELL
(out of nowhere...
in a variety of places...
while in extreme states of consciousness...)
has always Marked and Confirmed
Auspicious Milestones and Breathrus/Breakthrus
in this "Formlessness in Form"

This particular September 12, 2013 Milestone Happened after
Receiving Synchronistic Confirmations
from/re: these two Ones:
Allison: http://goddesspower.weebly.com/
Ashley: http://souldivers.net/

There is, and has been, a Vision of Beingness
since before we can ever Remember
of how it Is and Has to be with this Formlessness in Form....
This is what drew me to this island so many years ago and continues
to Hold me here, until any differing Divine Notice arrives that may make ItSelf Known....

Simply put - it has to do with Being The Vision
Being the Sanctuary for Soul
Sharing - Offering - Dancing - Celebrating

House on a Dune
is close by...
a cutting-edge Sanctuary
one that is symbolic of providing Sanctarii for souls.
See this site for a Glimpse:

Please see "Read More"
for a few Ones who are
so helpful via Being the Vision in their own Kaleidiscopic Unfoldments...
some we have met in form and some we have not yet met in form.

Beyond......just Beyond A Return to "Ignorant Innocence" **** Sunrise September 12, 2013

9/12/2013

If One is only Sourced
in/of/as
The Source without source
<
Only Evershining
(without separation’s awareness)
can be Real.

AH!
For also Being Beyond
the wording of such
GLORIA!

ew

We are the mirror, as well as the face in it.
We are tasting the taste of eternity this minute.
We are pain and what cures pain.
We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
Soul of the world, no life, nor world remain,
no beautiful women and men longing.
Only this ancient love circling the holy black stone of nothing.
Where the lover is the loved,
the horizon and everything within it.
–Rumi

If we would only live softly, resolute in strangeness,
accepting that our limited perspectives cannot do justice to the all,
our false way of seeing would cease to shudder through us,
and in the movement of that purity all our solemn angst would unavoidably turn to awe.

Knowledge is, in fact, epistemological blasphemy;
we insult the majesty of ‘God’, so to speak,
when we claim, with out little minds to understand what God is all about.

And we return to faith by giving ourselves over
to the fact that we exist without knowing how or why –
this is when we are ‘redeemed’ back to the one great mystery itself.
And this we accomplish by accomplishing nothing
except the annihilation of any separating thoughts or ideas from our minds,
and therefore returning again to ignorant innocence.****

"Ignominious Wonder" Sunrise September 2, 2013

9/2/2013

Set your life on fire.
Seek those who fan your flames.
Rumi

"…..BE

The Shining One

Who is thine own true Self…”....

“….perhaps we will all need to fall down in ignominious wonder

at the incomprehensible actuality that

WE ARE THE GREAT-ONE-MYSTERY WHICH IS GOD

Therefore, we now understand our Work –

to know our own divine unknowable selves;

to be and to see mystery everywhere , and in everyone.”

"DUMB WITH WONDER'S" NAKED DANCE Sunrise July 10, 2013

7/10/2013

"...I start to float away,
and the whole world seems very strange,
in a pleasant kind of way."
Blue Rodeo

"In ecstasy a man remains
dumb with wonder.....
forgetting the external world with all its charms and attractions;
even one's own body which is so dear to one,
is easily forgotten."
Sri Ramakrishna

"...let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge
with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless."
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet

If we seek to understand life (the life which we are),
we will never see it as it is - i.e. not understandable.

However, if we give ourselves away, forget everything,
and open up to the grand possibility that we are limitless,
then, and only then,
will the unfathomable, blissful mystery which we are
dance naked right before us.
Jack Haas
The Way of Wonder,
p. 213

"...the experience of absolute wonder destroys false walls, and does not create new ones; everything false is demolished and nothing but the real, stupefying nudity of 'what is' remains."
Jack Haas

Beyond Alchemical Gold's NOW Sunrise May 1, 2013

5/2/2013

"Mysteries are not to be solved.
The eye goes blind...when it only wants to see why"
Rumi

"Thou of whom no words can tell,
no tongue can speak,
whom silence only can declare."
Hermetica

"If you are to know God divinely,
your own knowledge must become as pure ignorance,
in which you forget yourself and every other creature."
Meister Eckhart

"If you say with absolute confidence 'I don't know'....
....if this "I don't know' comes from the deepest core of your being,
then God will be in your very core, in the very beat of your heart.

And then poetry arises...
....then one falls in love with this tremendous mystery that surrounds you."
OSHO
Book of Secrets

TEMPLATE FOR "THESE TIMES" April 29, 2013 Noon

5/1/2013

"....a primal prelude......."

"I had to grow foul with knowledge, realize the futility of everything, smash everything, grow desperate,
then humble, then sponge myself off the slate, as it were, in order to recover my authenticity.
I had to arrive at the brink and then take a leap in the dark."
Henry Miller
in Way of Wonder - Jack Haas
p. 155

"The willingness to become as a little child is a primal prelude to spiritual birth,
and an essential requisite toward entrance into the kingdom of God....
This kingdom is attained through repudiating the fallacies of mortal sense based on appearances.."
Eom Ida Mingle
in Way of Wonder - Jack Haas

PERPETUAL CHILD-FOREVER VIRGIN Sunrise April 27, 2013

4/27/2013

"The more you know the more you feel how ignorant you are.
And those who are really wise, they become ignorant.
They become as simple as children or as simple as idiots."
Osho

"...the virgin forever as virgin, forever pregnant,
forever open to possibilities."
Marion Woodman
The Pregnant Virgin

"This is the rapture of real Being!
Innocence is the inner sense of the little child, one with the Spirit of God."
Elizabeth Prophet

The Wonder of a Child
What is it to be a child?
It is to look out at the world and see it as a series of great, dancing, phantasmagorical, kaleidoscopic magical vistas, all of which exist prior to the adulterated, compartmentalization and stultification of the singular, bewildering show.
Jack Haas -
The Way of Wonder

To wonder is to live in the world of novelty rather than law, of delight rather than obligation, and of the present rather than the future."
Sam Keen -
Apology for Wonder

Undulating Harmonizations Sunrise March 28, 2013

3/31/2013

"There is nothing new to say about the world...
only a new ability to celebrate it."
Sam Keen
Apology for Wonder

"From that day onward every moment brought me its freshness as an ineffable gift,
so that I lived in an almost perpetual state of passionate wonder.
I became intoxicated with extreme rapidity,and went about in a sort of daze."
