Profound Not-Knowing - Jeff Foster
One of my favorite things to do is to sit with my elderly father
who has Alzheimers. It's a beautiful thing to just sit in a place
of profound not-knowing with him, a place where I do not
know what to say or do.

I sit, without expectation,
without trying to 'fix' him,
or manipulate his experience in any way.

I just listen,
without trying to make things better in the moment,
without playing the role of 'the one who knows'.
I am simply available to him.

I don't need to 'know' anything in this place...
And here,
I notice a deep and profound acceptance
of any wave of frustration or sadness
that appears in the ocean of experience.

And this seems to be
what true relationship is at its very core -
meeting, really meeting in the moment,
without hope, without
a future, without expectation, without a story.
Coming face to face with - yourself.

Nisargadatta Maharaj says:
"What remains is the great sadness of compassion"

It is not cold detachment and neo-Advaita
world-rejection,
but the
intimacy of the most unspeakable kind.

AFTERNOON

the silent self
There is a silent self within us
whose presence is disturbing precisely because it is so silent:
it can't be spoken.
It has to remain silent.
To articulate it, to verbalize it,
is to tamper with it, and in some way to destroy it.

Now let us frankly face the fact
that our culture is one which is geared in many ways
to help us evade any need to face this inner, silent self.

We live in a state of constant semi attention
to the sound of voices, music, traffic,
or the generalized noise of what goes on around us all the time.

This keeps us immersed in a flood of racket and words,
a diffuse medium in which our consciousness is half diluted:
we are not quite "thinking",
not entirely responding,
but we are more or less there.

We are not fully present and not entirely absent,
not fully withdrawn,
yet not completely available.

It cannot be said that we are really participating in anything
and we may in fact, be half conscious of our alienation and resentment.
Yet we derive a certain comfort from the vague sense
that we are "part of something"
-- although we are not quite able to define what that something is --
and probably wouldn't want to define it even if we could.

We just float along in the general noise.
Resigned and indifferent,
we share semi-consciously
in the mindless mind of Muzak and radio commercials
which pass for "reality".

- Thomas Merton

Hafiz - "Nothing is possible in love without death,” says the Sufi.

"Nothing is possible in love without death,”
says the Sufi.
The soul’s love for God frees us from our self,
and yet this freedom can seem like death,
as we die to the person we think we are.

Again and again we die
to our limited sense of self
in order to step into the vaster
dimension of our being.

This dying is what separates those
who want security and stability
from those who are
reckless, crazy, or driven enough
to venture into the depths.

What security is there for us here
in her caravanserai
when every moment camel bells cry,
“Pack up the loads!”?

The dark night, the fear of waves
the terrifying whirlpool,
how can they know of our state,
those who go lightly along the shore?
Hafiz

AFTERNOON

Life is a mystery.
Life is what we experience,
and we cannot and do not know
what the next moment of experience will be.

While we live in a mystery,
we reactively and automatically
try to control what we experience.

To be present in our lives,
we have to let go of the illusion of control,
and that is exactly what we do in meditation.

Meditation comes down to one key principle:
Return to what is already there and rest.

THE GATEWAY OF NOT KNOWING

When you Don't Know,
there is a crack in the delusion of mind.
And you can be penetrated
by an entire Universe.

Not Knowing is not ignorance.
Nor is it stupidity.
It is Curiosity. It is Wonder.
It is the relaxation of the separate 'I',
and the presence of great Compassion.

When you Don't Know you can be entered
by a tired sun exploding into reds and oranges,
by a yellow moon and a trillion distant stars,
so far yet so close,
so distant yet so Here.

Knowledge will not bring you to it.
The 'I' cannot understand it.
Not Knowing is its gateway.
Surrender to the moon.

The high value put upon every minute of time,
the idea of hurry-hurry as the most important objective of living,
is unquestionably the most dangerous enemy of joy.
Hermann Hesse

The body that we have,
this very body that's sitting here right now in this room,
this very body that perhaps aches,
and this mind that we have at this very moment,
are exactly what we need to be fully human.

good, completely fulfilling,

Happiness comes from getting what you want,

http://revbarbaraazzara.com/

What the mystic sees is really very simple to understand,
but it needs a special kind of intelligence and a special perspective -
not an intensified intellect
but a kind of transmuted intellect
which can offer a totally different perspective
by transferring to a standpoint
beyond itself.

For the egoic being the outer world is seen as the face of an enemy.
The disruptive dualism from which all conflict arises
is not in the outer world but within the false perception
of the pseudo-entity who fails to see the world
as his own reflection.
Rasmesh S. Balsekar

AFTERNOON

When you shift your focus
from what is absent
to what is present,
from what is missing
to what has been given,
from what you are not
to who you are,
from the ravages of linear time
to the immediacy of Now,
you are reconnecting
with love, truth and beauty,
and abundance is yours,
effortlessly.
- Jeff Foster

Once, I ran from difficult feelings.
Now, they are my advisors, confidants, friends,
and they all have a home in me,
and they all belong and have dignity.
I am sensitive, soft, fragile,
my arms wrapped around all my inner children.
And in my sensitivity, power.
In my fragility, an unshakeable Presence.

In the depths of my wounds,
in what I had named “darkness”,
I found a blazing Light
that guides me now in battle.

I became a warrior
when I turned towards myself.
And started listening.

From
Jeff Foster

I can take into myself now the depths of human loneliness and grief,
open my heart now to unspeakable ecstasies and joys,
rages and terrors and passions,
all intimately mine and all beyond me.
I can weep freely, laugh like a baby now,
unrestrained by this ridiculous thing called personality,
unencumbered by the image.

I can let it all pass through,
and love it all
as it passes through.

This is a hair's breadth from madness,
from suicide and the void and nothingness.
And precisely because of this closeness to death,
it is so alive.
Here on the precipice I can live so much each day.
I feel I could die of contentment.

(I could never settle for a half-life half-lived.
I could never half-surrender to a half-God.)

And yet, and yet, it is all so damn ordinary, this awareness.
A cup of tea with a friend.
A stroll through the park at dusk.
A fleeting memory here and there.
This human life,
illuminated with a soft divine light.

Shattered, broken, barely held together, here on the precipice.
Yet so solid too, so intact.
So comforting to be inside of my own Being.
Groundless, too,
yet so grounded in the earth,
the body and its rhythms,
the heart and its myriad feelings.

I once longed to die and I chose life,
for some reason I chose life or life chose me,
chose to keep me here,
I don't know.

I am still here,
breathing,
beyond all reason,
beyond all comprehension.
And gratitude is the only word left on my tongue now,
the only word I can speak.
All else is a foreign language.
I know nothing except ‘thank you'.

I can feel you as myself.
I have been born again.

- Jeff Foster

AFTERNOON

We want you to enjoy the contrasting experience,
just like you enjoy the contrasting buffet.
And we want you to reach the place
(and practicing Virtual Reality will help you to gain this confidence)
that whenever you’re in front of a buffet that has so much that you do like to eat,
as well as some that you don’t like to eat,
you don’t feel frustrated that there are things there you don’t want to eat.
You don’t feel compelled to put them on your plate and eat them;
you just pick the things that you like.
And the Universe of thought is the same way.
You can choose from it the things that you like.
Excerpted from Salt Lake City, UT on 6/29/02

To be nobody is to
Have no body.
That which is prior to
Name and form is
What one truly is.
Whatever it is called, when called
It does not reply.
Wu Hsin

To be without thoughts is meditation…
...when there are no thoughts,
it is then we come to know the one
hidden by our thoughts.
When there are no clouds,
the blue sky is revealed.

Occasionally,
stories tell us there are messages that travel on the coattails of the wind, whispering of something to come.
The Maori for example prophesied Captain James Cook’s arrival in 1769
through the channels of the wind.
Titahi, a seer of the Mgati Whatua tribe in Tamaki Makaurau
could foresee a major change involving new people,
ideas and systems of power and control.
The east wind
consistently comes up
in mythology, religion, poetry and literature
and is considered a sign of stormy weather.

However,
a storm can also ultimately lead to
a refreshed and positive perspective.
As Sherlock Holme
s says to Doctor Watson
in Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘His Last Bow:’
“There’s an east wind coming all the same,
such a wind as never blew on England yet.
It will be cold and bitter, Watson,
and a good many of us may wither before its blast.
But it’s God’s own wind none the less,
and a cleaner, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine
when the storm has cleared.”
The future is unpredictable,
but we know that the wind will always stir
and with its force behind you,
there’s potential to go far.
~Helen Martin

Peacemaking doesn't mean passivity.
It is the act of interrupting injustice,
without mirroring injustice,
the act of disarming evil
without destroying the evildoer,
the act of finding a 3rd way
that is neither fight nor flight,
but the careful arduous pursuit
of reconciliation and justice.
~Glennon Doyle

AFTERNOON........

One need not wait to be
What one already is.
Keeping the attention fixed on
What is permanent,
One can never stray.
Wu Hsin

Words can only bring one up to
The limit of words.
To go beyond,
All words must be left at the shore.

Anything that can be gained
Can likewise be lost.
Only the eternal is
For always.

Holding the Pearl of Great Price as Captive
(See next two photos below)

Upon the release
Of the need
To be either this
Or that
Comes an opening
To the splendor of
What-Is, the Real.
All storylines dissolve.
The dramas end and
The wind of peace
Blows across the countryside.
Wu Hsin
