*We must do the next and most necessary step, without fuss, but with conviction.
CG Jung

You can absorb it (Real Silence) only in homeopathic doses,
only once in a while.
And my words help.

They don’t state the truth, but they help, they indicate;
they are fingers pointing to the moon.
They are not the moon themselves,
just fingers pointing to the moon, arrows.

These close up photos via an extra high powered camera we utilized in 2016 for all photos.

Don’t be obsessed by the fingers,
don’t start clinging to the fingers,
don’t start worshipping the fingers –
because that is how you will miss the moon.

Forget the fingers and look at the moon.
That moon is silence, utter silence,
where not even a single word
has ever been uttered.

Excerpt from AA Promises

*Now, if you are strong enough to bear it;
If you can put aside

from the dumping grounds of others;

If you are strong enough to cast them all away;

Remember, you are entirely on your own.
You must realize first of all
that you are the proof of everything,
including yourself.

None can prove your existence,
because this existence must be confirmed by you first.

Your being and knowing you owe nobody.

You are entirely on your own.
You do not come from somewhere,
you do not go anywhere.

You are timeless being and awareness.

"Slender Golden Threads"
Jungian Robert Johnson

Solitude
We, the ordinary people of the streets, do not see solitude as the
absence of the world but as the presence of God.
Encountering him in all places is what creates our solitude.

For us, being truly alone means sharing in God’s solitude.

God is so great that nothing can find room anywhere
else but within him.

For us, the whole world is like a face-to-face meeting
with the one whom
we cannot escape.
Madeleine Delbrel

May you recognize in your life the presence, power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging
connects you intimately
with the rhythm of the universe.

May you have respect for your individuality and difference.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the façade of your life,
there is something
beautiful and eternal
happening.
~John O'Donohue
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/08/20/33043

As any honest magician knows,
true magic inheres the ordinary,
the commonplace, the everyday,
the mystery of the obvious.

Only petty minds and trivial souls,
yearn for supernatural events,
incapable of perceiving that everything,
everything, within and round them is
pure miracle.
~Edward Abbey

DEEP SURRENDER
-
John McIntosh
-When the guidelines for living day to day blur,
-When who and what to trust is unknown,
-When all safety-nets once relied upon have disappeared,
-When everywhere you turn fear grips your heart,
… a deeper surrender to the Truth beckons.
The mind - the engine of the false self
has fabricated a world dream
that has seemed relatively stable
even with its countless frailties,

but ultimately,
like a house of cards
that has reached the zenith
of its possible expansion,
it collapses …
and quickly.

That moment has arrived.
It is a moment when the ‘illusion’
so casually accepted as reality is seen-through
and ‘nothing’ appears beyond.

To step into this Divine opportunity requires a deeper surrender,
which leads to the inevitable end of dreaming.

It is the greatest fear of all
since it is the death of
the illusory control of a ‘personal identity’,

but in that surrender
ALL that is for your highest Purpose ‘is’
provided as your weary heart soon slips gently
into the Loving arms
of the ‘real’ SELF
You Are.

Now, if you are strong enough to bear it;
If you can put aside
all your private personal fancies, beliefs and opinions,
which are but the rubbish you have gathered
from the dumping grounds of others;

If you are strong enough to cast them all away;
Then My Word will be to you a source of endless Joy and Blessing.

Be prepared to have this personality of yours
doubt My Word as you read It all along the way;
For its very life is threatened, and it knows it cannot live and thrive
and longer dominate your thinking, your feelings,
your going and coming, as of old,
if you take My Word into your heart
and permit It there to abide.

I AM come to you now,
To make you conscious of My Presence;

For I have likewise prepared your human mind
so that it can, in a measure,
comprehend the meaning of Me.

I have been with you always,
but you did not know it.

This morning while I took this pose
I thought about reaching my hand towards the heavens and God
while my other hand was grounded into the earth.

It is why I practice.
What I reflect upon while when I practice.
And it was just a beautiful morning!

ALYCIA

We had a big dustorm blow thru last night followed by a lot of thunder and lightning.
The winds were really strong and our neighborhood
lost some trees and light posts it was so big.
This morning was calm and beautiful.

Blue skies were dotted with fluffy clouds.
Isn't that what life is like too?
Turbulent experiences and magical moments
like with you on the beach that touch our souls
and forever shape our perspective
and help us appreciate the beauty around us
and within us?!?!

I imagined myself grounding into the earth during life's storms
and reaching to the heavens to touch the Divine.

TOUCHING YOUR HEART

All mental knowledge is ‘acquired ignorance’.
It fills numberless pages in countless libraries
and spills into the repository of the mind
to build walls of illusory words
around the Truth.

The Truth is Silent and wordless … empty nothing-ness,
and yet filled with ‘real’ Knowing-ness.

IT cannot be accessed by the mind,
the pretender-SELF.

Only when open, available, humble and receptive
will the gentle breath of Truth
‘touch your Heart’.

IDENTIFICATION WITH THE DREAM
JOHN MCINTOSH
Consider something you may have given a lot of thought-attention to …
perhaps a university degree for a few years before and after you received it captured most of your ‘intense’ Attention and Passion during that time.

This makes it a very solid manifestation in your life experience.
Its like a very vivid night-time dream
you could swear actually happened
when you woke up and yet you KNEW it was not real.

However,
your ‘intense focus’ on instances like this one in your day-time ‘dream’
short-circuits that ‘knowing’
and for the moment [perhaps a lifetime]
you ‘believe’ it is real …
you believe it is a part of the ‘identity’ you call ‘me’.
Multiply this by the many things you have given your thought-Attention to
and this is how the SELF got ‘trapped’ in the grand illusion
called the universe-world-body-mind-identity.

The ‘way out’ of this trap is simpler than simple
[once you really get that you are trapped
(ultimately, even the concept of being trapped is an illusion)].

You shift your Attention to Truth
[no need to ‘know’ what that is].
Long ago you lost touch with Truth and this is why
‘surrender’ of ALL ‘control’ and ‘decision making’
must be handed over to the SELF or Life.

Its as simple as: “Thy will be done”
[or whatever words resonate with you]
… persisted in,
and the SELF’s way-less-way
will provide what you are ‘ready to accept’ in each moment …
no ‘figuring out’ or ‘doing’ on your part.

If you combine this with Self Inquiry:
“Who am I?” … Truth will quickly begin to appear everywhere
and soon be the only thing you experience.
That is Freedom.

Note EYE OF GOD or SINGLE VISION in cloud formation level with ...and to the left of right knee area

Wu Hsin

One doesn't learn to swim by grasping, by holding the water.
One learns by sinking.
Only when one is willing to sink
does one discern that one can float.

Ode to Silence - Nazia Mallick

Silence is all about coming home to ourselves...
We look within and drop our opinionated mind
and learn to feel everything around us more deeply.

When the incessant chatter of the mind stops and
we let the quietness around submerge us, something
sacred is born within.

It is only in silence that we are capable of listening.
We learn to listen more when we are silent.

Silence is the basic ingredient allowing us to
enter our intuitive mind, and resist the
cacophony of meaningless noises outside.

It is interesting to note how Silent and Listen
have the same letters but are arranged differently.

We have forgotten the art of waiting and allowing
ourselves to grow silent within.

Nature thrives on silence.
We never hear the footsteps of the moon when it
appears in the sky. We don't hear a loud bang when
the sun comes out and the stars burst open in the sky.

Their arrival is always wrapped in glorious silence.

Look how the tree knows it!
It remains bare, beautiful and still;
waiting for the new leaves, knowing
that the old has gone and the new will soon be coming.
The tree waits in silence.

Just like the tree, when we are silent and waiting,
something beautiful inside us keeps on growing
and it is stillness and silence that gives birth to creativity.

Often it happens that when we wait in silence, life
rushes back to fill those crevices in our souls. There
are times when silence becomes the most potent way
of communication and is more effective than words.
To say nothing is often more difficult than expressing
anger, love and betrayal with words.

Being silent with a natural and calm stillness within
is like a spiritual reflex. There is a space between
stimulus and response. And in that space is our
power to choose our response.
That "space" is silence...

Each time I feel that I just cannot take another step
forward in life, I seek refuge in silence...

Nazia Mallick

Excerpt from an article found in Ode Magazine 2009

Shift your attention from words to silence
and you will hear...

AFTERNOON

THE INFLUENCE OF REAL LOVE
JOHN MCINTOSH

The Heart is another name for the SELF … the ONE, as is Love.
Love is perhaps more misunderstood than any expression of Truth,
whether one is totally immersed in the dream world,
which is totally laden with conditioning
no matter how often ‘unconditional Love is spoken about …
or involved in so called spirituality
where one is focused on returning to
the Awareness of Who they Really Are.

As long as there is a sense of ‘individuality’ …
conditioning exists and will color all expressions of Love.

The ‘Voice’ of Love speaks softly
and always brings with IT the feeling of absolute Freedom
where nothing constrains or controls.
Peace is another name for the SELF or Love,
and the sense that you ‘are’ Peace
accompanies Love no matter what external ‘noise’ you may be exposed to.

There is a feeling that everything is Beautiful in the presence of genuine Love
no matter what you are experiencing.
This makes no sense to the false self,
which has a wide range of judgments on a sliding scale
and in this way it always ‘misses’ the Beauty underlying everything.

When one is experiencing Real Love they feel completely Abundant,
even if they are living on the street.
Abundance is also a word for Who you Really Are
and Real Love opens your Awareness to this Truth.

So called ‘healing’ can also occur spontaneously in the presence of Real Love.
The Real YOU has never been sick
except through the illusion of the body-mind-identity.

Real Love can lift you out of that illusion momentarily
and bring about an instant influence on the manifested conditioning called illness.

Real Love can bring you vignettes of the God you Are.
Some call this an AHA, an epiphany or a satori.
Welcome and embrace these moments
whenever they ‘touch’ you …

they are the ‘crumb-trail’ HOME.

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/the-influence-of-real-love

Silence doesn't mean not talking.
Silence is silence of the mind.
Silence is absence of questions,
absence of thinking,
true meditation.
***
When the inquiring mind,
intellectually creating problems,
gradually comes to the understanding
that the more problems it creates
the more veils it creates
between the Self and the understanding,
then there is silence.

UNKNOWING
“The great religions are ships,
Poets, life boats.
Every sane person I know,
Has jumped overboard”
-Hafez

My mind has lost its will,
To seek knowledge and understanding.
It no longer dreams of resolution,
To a Mystery beyond comprehension.

For after empassioned consideration,
It has concluded, rationally, empirically,
That Unknowing IS the resolution,
Any sane person will come to.

And from this Pregnant Fact is birthed…
The mind's Surrender,
The Heart having long ago Drowned,
In Love.
www.GardenOfTheBeloved.com
www.facebook.com/InTheGardenOfTheBeloved

I Have Learned so Much
Hafez

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 Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me
Of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.

From: The Gift Translated by Daniel Ladinsky

AFTERNOON

TO DREAM OR NOT TO DREAM?
JOHN MCINTOSH

The expanding Awareness of the Freedom You Are
is Now Present within every aspect of humanity’s experience.
The once cloistered and constricted flow
of the sleeping God-SELF has thrown the curtains open,
breathing in the freshness of possibilities.

Everywhere is the invitation to:
“dream your dream”, “go for your dreams”,
“Imagine and create your dreams”,
“believe – dreams come true”
and many are following this enthusiastic guidance.

Ultimately, when filtered through the lens of Joy,
if these suggestions resonate with you,
then for now … they are for you.

However, dream-creating is just that …
more dreaming, more sleeping.

The fact that you have shifted from a dream
caught in the hypnotic current of the collective
to a dreamer consciously manifesting dreams
of your own design,
does not lead to Awakening
‘from’ the illusion of the grand dream.
It is simply a different form of play ‘in’ that illusion.

Eventually,
all activity and all practices lead to Self Inquiry
[Who am I?]
with the false self exposed and sinking back
into Pure Conscious Awareness
[the ONE-SELF]
from which it sprang.

That is the moment where all dreams
[child’s toys]
may be put away
[if you choose]
and only that which is timeless and boundless
is embraced.

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/to-dream-or-not-to-dream

As you start to walk out on the way,
the way appears.
As you cease to be,
true life begins.
As you grow smaller,
this world cannot contain you.
You will be shown a being
that has no "you" in it.
-Rumi,
Tr. C. Barks "A Year with Rumi"

NAKED IN GRACE*

4:27 AM-6/19/19
*1986 TN Woods…we declared out loud to God
”Take me to a place where I can/will ONLY be Naked in Your Grace!”
Approximately a month later… 2/7/87 we stepped onto this Harbour Island, Bahamas and instantly Knew this was
The Placement
for
The Naked Grace Life
dmm

*Of course, it is laudable to reflect
upon God's kindness and to love and praise him for it;
yet it is far better to let your mind
rest in the awareness of him
in his naked existence
and to love and praise him
for what he is in himself."

– The Cloud of Unknowing, Chapter 5
https://www.thecontemplativelife.org/blog/the-cloud-of-unknowing-a-cloud-of-forgetting-quote

*When you keep thinking about sense objects, attachment comes.
Attachment breeds desire, the lust of possession that burns to anger.
Anger clouds the judgment;
you can no longer learn from past mistakes.
Lost is the power to choose between what is wise and what is unwise,
and your life is utter waste.

But when you move amidst the world of sense,
free from attachment and aversion alike,
there comes the peace in which all sorrows end,
and you live in the wisdom of the Self...

...They are forever free
who renounce all selfish desires and break away
from the ego-cage of 'I,' 'me,' 'mine'
to be united with the Lord.
This is the supreme state.
Attain to this,
and pass from death to immortality.
– The Bhagavad Gita, 2:54-65, 71-72
https://www.thecontemplativelife.org/blog/bhagavad-gita-selfish-attachments

Don't surrender your loneliness
So quickly.
Let it cut more deep.
Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can.
Something missing in my heart tonight
Has made my eyes so soft,
My voice
So tender,
My need of God
Absolutely
Clear.

ALL OF LIFE BECOMES A GENTLE DÉJÀ VU”
(ew - TN Woods 1987)

You know, all mystics
-- Catholic, Christian, non-Christian,
no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion --
are unanimous on one thing:
that all is well, all is well.
Though everything is a mess, all is well.
Strange paradox, to be sure.
But, tragically,
most people never get to see that all is well
because they are asleep.
They are having a nightmare.
—Anthony de Mello

Your thinking that you have to make an effort
to get rid of this dream of the waking state,
and your making efforts to attain jnana
(realization of Self)
or real awakening,
are all parts of the dream.
—Ramana Maharshi

Fix the mind in your Heart.
If you keep your attention on the source from where all thoughts arise,
the mind will subside there at the source and reality will shine forth.
Ramana Maharshi

Full Moon Setting in Western Sky

Silence was the state of Bhagavan
and his direct teaching was only through silence.
Those who received his message of silence
had no need whatsoever to talk to him,
much less a need for his instructions.
How can I possibly express in words
the mysterious working of Bhagavan through silence?

—Quoted in Ramana Periya Puranam by V.Ganesan, page 284.
https://realization.org/p/ramana/ramana.html

...let your whole thought in meditation
be not on the act of seeing,
nor on what you see,
but immovably on that which sees.

The Daily Lesson – June 18, 2019

We cannot expect the Spirit of God
to go out and do things of a temporal nature for us:
find a house, provide an automobile,
or put our competitor out of business.
Spiritual power is not temporal Power;
it is not a power that is subject to our bidding or our will;
it does not punish those who wrong us;
it is not something that we can use;
it will not give us a monopoly of all the dollars,
nor will it make us dictators
or help us pull down existing dictators.”
~Joel S Goldsmith

Isaiah 40:13 (KJV)
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

Matt 6:31-33 (KJV)
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

Is there an error in God’s Kingdom that needs correcting?

AFTERNOON

INFINITE PATIENCE
JOHN MCINTOSH

When you Awaken from a deep sleep
an entirely ‘new’ universe/world springs into being ‘for the first time’.
It was not there without your Attention
and it shows up basically the same as past universes
you have experienced due to your
unique conditioning, memory and imagination …
it is literally ‘made-up’ on the spot.
There is no evolution over billions of years
[that is part of the dream-story it is].

When you are Free, time and space do not exist.
There is no ‘from here to there’ …
there is only a full-blown dream you
still choose to play within – AWAKE.

All the objects animate or inactive
[actually everything in the dream is a swirling maelstrom of activity]
have been placed there
like a child building a miniature city with toy pieces – instantly!

The coffee shop you visit regularly is NOT there
until you think of it and there only as an ephemeral thought-form,
gone as soon as your Attention shifts
and there again in more concrete form
when you arrive at your ‘remembered’ destination of it.

The concept of something evolving, changing,
getting better ‘or’ worse is just that –
a concept and NOT real.

A dream is not ‘partially’ a dream
with a little reality mixed in
that appeals to your made-up false self.
It is totally a dream – always and in all ways
no matter how dramatic its stories are.

The dream-clock resets every day and the universe,
your world and your unique experience
is an entirely new dream with many pieces
in the same place as the last dream
before your deep sleep.
This comes as a ‘major shock’ for many
[and will mostly be resisted]
who have so much invested in trying
to change the world.

The Truth cannot be comprehended by ‘split’ Attention …
you must choose Truth
over every passing, seductive spectre
before IT will ‘undress’ for you.

IT is patient ‘beyond’
even the concept of patience
and will wait for your ALL-IN commitment.

IT ‘knows’ IT is simply watching IT SELF
play in the field of dreams
‘with’ IT SELF.

TRUTH IS EVERYWHERE
JOHN MCINTOSH

Truth is everywhere.
Only the false self gives Truth a ‘location’, which is ever present.
The advent of mass communication
is a mirror for ONE-ness hidden in plain sight.

Despite being tainted
by the collective conditioning of humanity,
it makes available ‘the voice of silence’
in a non-intrusive manner
that the body-mind-identity
does not innately and instantly resist.

Each one’s unique world is precisely sculpted
from their own conditioning
reflecting who they are NOT,
while alluding to Who They Really Are.

The entertainment industry has for decades
dropped ‘hints’ about Truth
[whether it was aware of doing it or not].
“The Force be with you”
is perhaps one of the most recognized quotes
of the last century.
Fairy tales abound with metaphors
about the dream the world is
and action-comics
[which now dominate theater blockbusters]
foster the concept of the God within.

The nudge of Truth
comes through any available
‘chink in the armor’ of resistance to tug-at-the-sleeve
of the deep sleeping God-SELF
and stimulates the natural Divine Discontent
inbred into every walking god
who still slumbers in the grand dream.

Suffering is the primary means
of bringing the stubborn sleeper
to the alter of Truth
but ‘hints’ are everywhere and incessant....

...as the ONE Awareness
shakes IT SELF like a rag-doll
until Freedom receives
the focused Attention
that will clear
the ancient clouds of conditioning
that have
hidden Truth from IT SELF.

The Daily Lesson – June 16, 2019
Why should we need to use power if there is only one power — God?
What would we want to use it for, on whom, or on what?
And why do we need any power to correct a belief in two powers?
When, through practice, we have trained ourselves
so that we no longer use the power of mind
or try to use the power of Spirit,
we are in spiritual consciousness
and we have the secret of spiritual power.
~Joel S Goldsmith
A PARENTHESIS IN ETERNITY

Mark 10:17,18 (KJV)
17 And when he was gone forth into the way,
there came one running, and kneeled to him,
and asked him,
Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him,
Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one,
that is, God.

Luke 12:27 (KJV)
27 Consider the lilies how they grow:
they toil not, they spin not;
and yet I say unto you,
that Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.

Psalm 62:1 (KJV)
62 Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.

God is Absolute,
Unconditional and Infinitely Omnipresent.
All we need to develop is an Awareness of that Fact.
And all that is left is a smile…

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Jellaludin Rumi,
translation by Coleman Barks

Later, a sudden larger breaker almost washed camera/tripod away...we took camera off to take this photo above...and the moment we finished that photo, GASP...for the HUGE Heron (below photos) that we barely could photograph...probably the same Heron from a few days ago at this same Remembrance Rock

I am not from the East or West
not up from the ground
or out of the ocean.
My place is placeless
a trace of the Traceless.
I am from the Soul of souls.

Rumi

below from
John O'Donohue

We are no sooner out of the womb than we must begin the
precarious unfolding and shaping of who we are.
If we have bad or destructive times in childhood,
we begin to fix on a survival identity to cover over
and to compensate for what happens to us.
If we are never encouraged to be
ourselves we begin to construct an identity
that will gain us either attention or approval.
When we set out to construct
our lives according to a fixed image,
we damage ourselves.
The image becomes the desperate focus
of all our longing.
There are no frames for the soul.

In truth we are called,
in so far as we can,
to live without
an image of ourselves,
or at least to keep
images we have free and open.

When you sense the immensity
of the Unknown within you,
any image you have built of yourself
gradually loses its promise.
Your name, your face, your address
only suggest the threshold of your identity.

Somehow you are always secretly aware of this.
Sometimes you find yourself listening to someone
telling you what you should do
or describing what is going on inside you,
and you whisper to yourself that
they have not the foggiest idea who you actually are.

John O'Donohue

There Are No Frames for the Soul

NOT AS YOU SEEM
JOHN MCINTOSH

You are NOT as you seem.
The world you try to navigate through each day
is NOT as it seems.

Nothing ‘is’ as it seems on the surface …
this is relatively easy to accept,
and the body-mind-false-self will immediately
offer opinions about
conspiracies, hidden agendas
and elite forces controlling the world to support this.
But this goes much deeper than mere theories
about the real world hidden in plain sight.

No matter how close you may get to what seems to be ‘going on’,
on the planet and in your life,
it will always be about the ‘state of a dream’.

Your body, your mind, your world
and your experiences in it are all a dream,
totally believed in by most of humanity
and that belief gives it its shape and design and life.

There is absolutely nothing ‘real’ within it
no matter how beautiful or disgusting it may seem.
Every concept of Love, of Life, of Freedom, of Beauty
pales beside one glimpse of Reality.

To access Truth, the Truth that you ‘are’ is simple … turn within.
By turning your Attention inward
and simply ‘opening up’ to the possibility
of something vaster
than anything the imagination [also a dream] can conjure …

6/10/15

Light begins to shine and direct your Attention
toward what ‘is’ Real.
This opening up is actually the beginning
of Real ‘surrender’ to the Infinite.
When the mind then tries to fill in the blanks,
gently return inward to open-ness …

Life will do the heavy lifting and your Awareness
[the Awareness that you ‘are’]
of
Truth will begin to Expand effortlessly.

#42 WORRY
OSHO
TRANSFORMATION TAROT

Have you ever taken note of one thing? –
the present is always juicy the present is always blissful.

Worry and suffering are created
either by what you wanted to do in the past
and could not do,
or by what you want to do in the future
and don’t know whether you will be able to do or not.

Did you ever notice,
did you ever look at this small truth,
that there is no suffering in the present,
there is no worry?

This is why the present does not disturb the mind –
anxiety disturbs the mind.

There is no suffering in the present.
The present doesn’t know suffering--
the present is such a small moment
that suffering cannot fit into it.
In the present only heaven can fit, not hell.
Hell is too big!

The present can only be peace,
can only be happiness.
OSHO
#42 WORRY
TRANSFORMATION TAROT

David Carse - ‘nobody home’

The flute does not know music:
it does not know ‘G’ from ‘B flat;’
it does not know tempo or emphasis,
and cannot make music come out of itself:
it’s just a hollow bamboo stick with holes in it!

It is the musician who has the knowledge
and the skill and the intention
and the dexterity, and whose breath
blows through the instrument
and whose fingers manipulate the openings
so that beautiful music flows out.

When the music is ended,
no one congratulates the wooden stick
on the music it made:
it is the musician who is applauded and thanked
for this beautiful gift of music.

It is precisely so with what we think of as our ‘selves.’
We are instruments, hollow sticks,
through which the Breath, the Spirit, the Energy
which is Presence,
All That Is,
Consciousness, flows.

Just as it is not the flute making the note,
but the Musician making the note through the instrument,
so it is the breath which is Presence
which animates this mind and body
and comes out through this mouth
to make it seem
that this mouth is speaking words.

The basic misunderstanding,
the basic ignorance,
is this unwitting usurpation of the role of Musician
by the instrument.

This inversion of the truth is spontaneously realized
when the Understanding occurs.
It becomes obvious that there is no individual,
that there is ‘nobody home,’
no entity here to be the doer or not.

Because awakening
is.....

...simply the Understanding
that there is no one here to awaken.

~ David Carse, Perfect Brilliant Stillness

AFTERNOON

what still pulls on your soul?
—Rumi

DIMENSIONS
JOHN MCINTOSH

There ‘is’ only ONE,
despite the appearance of many.

This ONE may be called Pure Conscious Awareness,
SELF or many other names.
IT is indivisible
but when the belief in separation is present
the ‘Light’ of Consciousness
seems to ‘split’ into numberless parts.

This phenomena [illusion or dream]
is also represented by the concept of ‘dimensions’,
which are only levels ‘of’ the Awareness of ONE.

The less the Awareness,
the so called lower the level
of ‘perception’ of dimensions.

The third dimension is the most commonly known
with much talk about
4th and 5th dimensions in recent years.

You are NOT the body-mind-identity [a person]
or the thoughts the mind generates
… anything that is temporary is NOT Real …
just part of the projections
on the screen of Consciousness or Nothing-ness
when separation is believed in.

When Consciousness departs a body-mind-identity
[what the false self calls death]
it does not go to a so called ‘other side’ …
it ‘goes’ nowhere since ONE
has no distance to and from anything.

The projected dream continues in a subtler body
[also an illusion]
and leads the dreamer to other dream experiences …
all with the single purpose of Awakening
to the full Awareness of the ONE IT ‘is’.

The departure from the body
does not somehow bring you to Truth.
All this activity is simply dreaming ‘within’ dreams ...
no matter how beautiful or so called ‘spiritual’ it may seem.

The mind loves phenomena
and makes these concepts of dimensions,
subtle bodies and other unseen entities
somehow ‘special’ …they are NOT,

......(they are)
just another variety of dreaming
but with an enormous influence
to ‘distract’ you from the
only purpose you are here for …

the full Awareness
of the God you ‘are’
as ONE.

NEUTRAL
JOHN MCINTOSH

Neutral does not express opinions.
It does not resist, complain,
react or judge.
It ‘observes’.

If you are driving a stick shift automobile
in either forward or backward,
and then shift into ‘neutral’
the car will continue moving for a while
due to the already existing momentum.
This is true of your life experiences as well.

In the neutral position of non-reaction … of observation,
you will still experience some of the momentum
of a given situation,
but you will NOT be adding to it.

The Dog Innately Knows "NEUTRAL" he was VERY STILL....watching me as i returned from sunrise beach...

In spiritual terms
you will not be creating more karma
with which to express the same ‘type’
of experience again.

This is saying YES to ‘What IS’.
This means that the ‘conditioning’
that defines the false-self-identity
[attachments, expectations and identifications]
is NOT being ‘Expanded’
… it is being witnessed or observed
as something which is
NOT who you are.

The false self will complain
that this is boring or not living
because it requires constant ‘involvment in activity’
in order to ‘feel’ alive despite its roller coast ride
between happiness and sorrow.

The addiction to this constant ‘ride’
must burn out before ‘Neutral’
becomes ‘consistently’ appealing, ...

.....but there is no need to force it
your Freedom is inevitable
because that ‘is’
Who You Really Are.

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
when we escape like squirrels turning in the cages of our personality

but things will happen to us so that we do not know ourselves.

Cool, undying life will rush in,
passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.

poverty of the lover

The true lover gazes toward the reality of things:

My eyes so fix
upon your image
that whatever I gaze at
I imagine you.

Wherever he looks he finds that Face
and therefore needs everything he sees.

"Poverty is intrinsic need;
it has nothing to do with this or that."

And why does nothing need the lover?
One can only need something which exists.
But the lover, outwardly detached and inwardly disengaged,
has returned the robe of existence and all its trappings
- which he only held in trust -
... Again he has donned the patched cloak of his own nothingness.
"He is ... as he was in eternity-without-beginning,"
and in such a state, who needs him?

But...in poverty there comes a state
wherein the poor man himself needs nothing.
As one of them said,
"The poor man is not is not in need of God Himself!"
Need, after all, is an attribute of the existent;
but he who dives into the sea of nothingness
needs no more.
His poverty is complete.

You are nothing
when you wed the One;
but you are everything
when you become nothing.

~ Fakhruddin 'Iraqi
from Divine Flashes

https://beautywelove.blogspot.com/2013/04/poverty-of-lover.html

A lover doesn't figure the odds.

He figures he came clean from God
as a gift without a reason,
so he gives without cause
or calculation or limit.

A conventionally religious person
behaves a certain way
to achieve salvation.

A lover gambles everything, the self,
the circle around the zero! He or she
cuts and throws it all away.
This is beyond any religion.

Lovers do not require from God any proof,
or any text, nor do they knock on a door
to make sure this is the right street.
They run,
and they run.

AFTERNOON

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE
JOHN MCINTOSH

There is nothing to ‘fix’ … not in your own life,
humanity’s or the world itself.
Nothing is out of order.

Can a dream be somehow wrong?
It comes in brilliant Light or shadowed darkness but remains ‘only’ a dream.
Your body, your mind, your life experience … is all a dream.
It is not wrong, and you are NOT wrong … you are simply dreaming.
No matter how you tweak your dream
[try to fix yourself and the world],
it is still just a dream.

When you have had every dream experience [several times],
as if you had watched every movie ever produced,
the allure will have faded and the mind
that projected each dream-experience will also have dissolved
along with the person you call you.

This point of saturation arises for everyone
[who are also aspects of the grand dream] …
‘YOU’ are the only ONE there is
despite enormous evidence to the contrary.

As these words are written,
it is YOU who writes them.
Even ‘surrender’ is NOT a choice
but an inevitable aspect of the dream
that tells you dream stories about ‘free will and control’.

You ‘are’ God or ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness – NOW
… the dream you dream cannot change that.

There ‘is’ no possibility of you being
somehow ‘left out’ of this eventual Awareness.

When you at last become fully Aware of this single Truth,
your sojourn within the dream will become softer,
gentler and you will begin to see
God ‘in’ and ‘as’ everything.

Resistance will dwindle to ‘What Is’
and the Moment of full Awakening to Who You Really Are
will ‘rush’ to greet you
with the Love that IT ‘is’.

In the Garden of The Beloved
March 29 ·

SILENCE, STILLNESS, PEACE

My home is very near a busy road,
But Sitting in its lush garden,
The din and clamor, so close by,
While deemed by some, disruptive,
Is to me a Reminder that Silence,
Has naught to do with sound.

For hearing the myriad notes of Life,
Whether melodious or dissonant,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Intoxicated at The Tavern of The Beloved,
Where Enraptured, it cups its ears and asks,
“Hmm, did you say something?”

My mind moves in continuous thought,
But Resting within myself,
The flow of words and images,
While deemed by some, a distraction,
Is to me a Reminder that Stillness,
Has naught to do with movement.

For as thoughts and images flow,
Whether pleasurable or discordant,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Entranced by the Face of The Beloved,
Where, without turning from Her,
It gestures, “You go on ahead.”

The psyche’s weather roils, ever changing,
But Abiding as the formless Sky,
The inconstancy of calm and catastrophe,
While deemed by some, a hindrance,
Is to me a Reminder that Peace,
Has naught to do with change.

For whether the vicissitudes of emotion,
Bring sunlit joy or darkening sorrow,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Lost in Reverie of The Changeless One,
Ever Radiant in the Heart of Being,
Timeless, Spaceless, Objectless.

Abandoning silence and clamor,
We become Silence.
Abandoning stillness and motion,
We become Stillness.
Abandoning peace and unrest,
We become Peace.

Abandoning all dualities,
We become our Essence.

AFTERNOON

IN THE GARDEN OF TIME

“What have I done wrong?”
The ripening fruit bemoaned,
While, burgeoning with nectar,
And rich with the colors of fruition,
A little green remained near the stem.

“Surely, this is my fault!”
The tender bud lamented,
When, upon first opening to sunlight,
The promise of flowering revealed,
Its delicate petals remained yet veiled.

Some of our deepest wounds,
Are judgements, self-inflicted,
Endless paper cuts upon our spirit,
Made by an inherently imperfect “self”,
Despising its imperfection.

When in fact, the green-stemmed fruit,
The infant petals in a sheltering bud,
Are as they should be, in their time,
On schedule to arrive, in their time,
In this Dream of passing seasons.

For here, in The Garden of Time,
What is not yet, becomes what is,
And what is, becomes what was,
And our manifest Being, ever ripening,
Is not yet, now, as it will be, then.

On this Path of Love and Surrender,
Tend gently the seedling of your Heart,
Doing the needful, as you are able,
Then Surrender, giving yourself over,
Sweet unripened...

To The Beloved Gardener.

Mountains standing close together:
The image of KEEPING STILL.
Thus the superior man
Does not permit his thoughts
To go beyond his situation.

The heart thinks constantly.
This cannot be changed,
but the movements of the heart–that is,
a man's thoughts–should restrict themselves
to the immediate situation.

Quoted in
GODSEED: The Alchemy of Primordial Memory
Dorothea M. Mills/elizabeth walker

In the attitude of silence
the soul finds the path in a clearer light,
and what is elusive and deceptive
resolves itself into crystal clearness.
~Mahatma Gandhi
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/05/23/29485/

And as with prayer,
which is a dipping of oneself toward the light,
there is a consequence of attentiveness
to the grass itself,

We all know that something is eternal.
And it ain’t houses and it ain’t names, and it ain’t earth, and it ain’t even the stars . . . everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal,
and that something has to do with human beings.
All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that
for five thousand years and yet you’d be surprised
how people are always losing hold of it.
There’s something way down deep
that’s eternal about every human being.
― Thornton Wilder, Our Town

Yes, now you know. Now you know!

That's what it was to be alive.
To move about in a cloud of ignorance;
to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those...of those about you.
To spend and waste time as though you had a million years.
To be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion, or another.

Now you know --
that's the happy existence you wanted to go back to.

Ignorance and blindness.”
― Thornton Wilder, Our Town

Wherever you come near the human race
there’s layers and layers of nonsense.

“EMILY: "Does anyone ever realize life while they live it...every, every minute?"

AFTERNOON

THE SPECTACULAR DREAM
John McIntosh

LOVE is the universal language of the God-SELF You Are.
IT sings to you of Freedom hidden in plain sight.

IT reaches out to you between
the prison bars of limitation
through Nature in sublime fragrances
and the precise mathematics
of its symmetry
as it ceaselessly illustrates
the magnificent
swirling cycle
of
the Golden Ratio everywhere.

IT dances in waterfalls and
paints with the brush of rainbows.
IT sings in winds that rustle delightfully
through leaves and
ITs face is everywhere,
peaking out of exquisite structures sculpted
with branches and twigs that come and go
in an instant while laughing
at your seriousness.

IT ‘uses’ the spectacular dream
you have fabricated to hide within
to unveil the Love in Action that is Grace...
… the very Heart of the Real YOU.

IT speaks to IT SELF in every breath.

When finally,
your thoughts slow to a stop
and the mind’s steel door dissolves,
IT exposes the Perfection YOU are …
never missing,
revealed in the
Silence of Nothing-ness.

John McIntosh
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/the-spectacular-dream

Nothing can distract you from meditation,
when everything becomes a part of meditation.
This is meditation without a path, without a goal,
without a script.
It is meeting everything
within you as a good friend.

THE NAMELESS
Sandy Jones

I don’t know what to call it, LaoTse didn’t either.
He chose to call it Tao.
Ineffable works, but doesn’t quite have the sweet ring I am looking for.
Calling it God causes too many complications.
I would prefer not to call it anything if can help it,
because there is no name it can be given.
I remember Tom Sawyer’s advice to Becky Thatcher
“Don’t explain no more ‘ n ya haf ‘ ta.”

What I do know,
is that one day,
with great joy and relief,
we find the government of this Unknowable Something
and we let go the need for the government of man and religion.

We find for ourself this Wonderful Ineffable Isness–
and we realize it is so much greater
than any human political system or religion can ever conjure up.

This Ineffable Isness all that is,
it is absolute and real and it shows us what love is.
It guides us with an Intelligence that transcends
the limited precepts we have been conditioned to accept as true.

We find the real government of Something Nameless –
and the government of man and religion loses its power.

We change the inside and the outside will change,
one by one, as we live it.
The Light is here and available to us all.
It is right here, within ourself.

We find this inner gift of knowing something else,
something besides,
and something more.
Here in our own heart
we feel the seamless fusion between
this Living Presence of Something Wonderful
and our own extraordinary life experience in this world.

We find freedom – the real freedom – freedom from fear.

We are intimately involved in this sweet and solitary,
one to one, love affair with this Holy Something.

We become our own authority,
we follow no one but our own true Self.
We listen to our heart.
We hear the song and we know what love is
and we know what to do and how to do it.

AFTERNOON

Go ahead and tell me
That you know all I can be,
You've studied every droplet
of my ever-changing sea.

But weren't you ever taught
that seas are only where it ends?

The things that tell the story
are the river's twists and bends.

The ocean isn't everything,
it's part of it of course.

But you cannot judge its currents
if you do not know their source.

The Root of All Things
- Chuang Tzu

The non-action of the wise man is not inaction.
It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything.
The sage is quiet because he is not moved,
Not because he wills to be quiet.

Still water is like glass.
You can look in it and see the bristles on your chin.
It is a perfect level;
A carpenter could use it.
If water is so clear, so level,
How much more the spirit of man?

The heart of the wise man is tranquil.
It is the mirror of heaven and earth.
The glass [mirror] of everything.

Emptiness, stillness, tranquility, tastelessness,
Silence, non-action: this is the level of heaven and earth.
This is the perfect Tao. Wise men find here
Their resting place.
Resting, they are empty.

From emptiness comes the unconditioned.
From this, the conditioned, the individual things.
So from the sage's emptiness, stillness arises:
From stillness, action. From action, attainment.

From their stillness comes their non-action,
which is also action, which is, therefore, their attainment.
For stillness is joy. Joy is free from care.

Joy does all things without concern:
For emptiness, stillness, tranquility, tastelessness,
Silence, and non-action
Are the root of all things.

Chuang Tzu

ITS NOT ABOUT YOU
JOHN MCINTOSH

Living Consciously is NOT about ‘you’,
that is,
it is NOT about an individual person called ‘you’ becoming Free.

It is common to hear spiritually oriented people
speak about ‘themselves’ as being ‘this or that’.
The SELF, which is ONE appearing as many has no ‘add-ons’.
It does not have a personality.
It does not have particularities, peccadilloes, foibles …
nothing ‘sticks’ to it.
It cannot be offended
because it has no special traits that can be criticized.

It cannot offend because it always speaks only
to the SELF ‘in’ and ‘as’ anyone it addresses.

It cannot feel a sense of loss
because it is NOT attached
to anything even though the body-mind
may be extremely wealthy.

It ‘has’ no IDENTITY of any kind because it is Empty.

It knows ‘nothing’ because it does not accumulate historical knowledge …
it knows what it needs to know in the moment of It’s need.

There ‘is’ no ‘you’ …
there is only the SELF – ONE.

Lack of Awareness of this alone
is what has caused the grand dream
and the return to that Awareness
is your only Purpose …
until that occurs.

 This occurs when this illusionary ‘you’ is gone.

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/its-not-about-you

When one places their undivided attention
on their own Liberation,
they do more for humanity than all
the well intentioned ‘fixing’ concepts put together.

DIVINE DISCONTENT
JOHN MCINTOSH

Pure Consciousness Awareness [ONE or God]
is naturally ‘Balanced, Perfect, Pure, Empty’.

When IT sleeps to this Truth
IT believes in a concept called separation
and seems to fragment IT SELF
through a projection on the screen of Consciousness
in a myriad of illusionary forms,
which it seems to enter as IT dreams IT ‘is’ each of these individual entities …
some of which are called humans.

As this occurs there is a constant ‘pull’ back Home
to the full Awareness of Who IT Really Is.
This is called the ‘Divine Discontent’,
which eventually becomes
the pathless-path ‘out’ of the dream.

No matter how deep or dark the dream becomes
for each splinted ‘God-entity’ this powerful ‘pull’
is always calling IT Home.
IT cannot ever actually be ‘lost’
and therefore does NOT need to be ‘saved’
as has been taught for thousands of years by many belief systems
… because, IT is only dreaming …
no matter how ‘real’ that dream may be.

IT only needs to be Awakened ‘from’ the dream to return Home.

This Awakening is in full throttle Now
as countless individual sleeping God-SELVES
have become and are becoming ‘aware’ that they have been dreaming.
In most cases they are NOT Home yet,
but they ‘are’ aware on some level
that their life experience and the world they live it in
‘is’ a dream.

The error that occurs at this stage for most ‘awakening’ ones
it to somehow try to ‘fix’ themselves
because they have not fully comprehended
that their dream body-mind is NOT real and ‘cannot’ be fixed.

The direct route Home is to ‘surrender’ their dream fully
to the Pure Conscious Awareness they ‘are’
and IT will shine the Light on the pathless-path
‘out of’ the dream.

“Not my will but YOUR WILL be done” is one way.
If you are sufficiently frustrated with the dream …
your life will shift dramatically.

THE VITAL ORIGINAL PORTAL-OF ORIGIN..... AT REMEMBRANCE ROCK ON THIS ISLAND

AFTERNOON

Something inside of me has reached to the place
where the world is breathing.
~ Kabir

Be quiet in your mind,
quiet in your senses,
and also quiet in your body.
Then, when all these are quiet,
don't do anything.
In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
Kabir

He is the real Guru Who can reveal the form of the formless before your eyes;
who teaches the simple path, without rites or ceremonies;
Who does not make you close your doors,
and hold your breath,
and renounce the world;

Who makes you perceive the Supreme Spirit
whenever the mind attaches itself;
Who teaches you to be still in the midst of all your activities.
Fearless, always immersed in bliss,
he keeps the spirit of yoga in the midst of enjoyments.
Kabir

Within this body
The Eternal keeps singing
And Its spring goes on and on flowing.
~ Kabir

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself
and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace.
You will find that deep place of silence right in your room,
your garden or even your bathtub.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

It is time to put up a love-swing!
Tie the body and then tie the mind so that
they swing between the arms of the
Secret One you love.
Bring the water that falls from the clouds
to your eyes.
And cover yourself over entirely with the
shadow of the night.
Bring your face up close to Love's ear,
and then talk only about what you want
deeply to happen.

Kabir says:
"Listen to me, friend, bring the face,
shape, and odor of the Holy One inside you."
~ from TRY TO LIVE TO SEE THIS!
by Kabir - Versions by Robert Bly

"At the still point of the turning world.
Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards;
at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement.
And do not all it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline.
Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance,
and there is only the dance."
T.S. Eliot

Remember, in the face of Mystery, silence ultimately alone will do:
you simply cannot categorize,
in ANY way, that which is radically Unqualifiable.
You know that Mystery by being Emptiness,
not by conceptualizing it, naming it, labeling it.
Ken Wilber

No, my soul is not asleep.
It is awake, wide awake.
It neither sleeps nor dreams, but watches,
its eyes wide open
far off things, and listens
at the shores of the great silence.
- Antonio Machado

Under all speech that is good for anything
there lies a silence that is better.
Silence is deep as Eternity;
speech is shallow as Time.
Thomas Carlyle

"A tremendous "knowing" comes effortlessly into the mind
when it falls into Silence,
when it gives up trying to understand,
when its reel of stored images
no longer projects abstract pictures
onto the clean screen of simplicity.

This kind of knowing is transmitted
to us as pure revelation,
as a clarity untouched by words
or other symbols of meaning.

When we allow this knowing into our minds,
our very lives become
as clear and startling as this knowing."
Robert Rabbin

PEACE DEPENDS ON NOTHING
JOHN MCINTOSH

-Fighting for Peace EXPANDS discord.
-Working for Peace EXPANDS the experience of its lack.
-Genuine Peace ‘passes understanding’
because understanding is of the false-self-mind, which analyses.

-Peace cannot be held in ‘relationship’ to anything else
such as such as war, chaos, stress, confusion, etc.,
because IT ‘has’ no opposite and stands alone …
another name for ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness
[the Real YOU].

YOU cannot ‘have’ Peace
because what can be ‘had’ can also be taken away
and Peace is eternal.
Peace ‘is’ Who You Are and is ‘always’ Present.

-You ‘as’ YOU … the Real YOU,
can only be AWARE of the Peace YOU ‘are’.

The false self [mind-identity-person]
can never be Aware of genuine Peace
because its illusionary existence
is ‘based-on’ separation …
the foundation of opposites:
good-bad, light-dark, male-female, peace-war …

-Peace depends on ‘nothing’,
meaning it relies on or rests on nothing ‘outside’ IT SELF
since there ‘is’ nothing ‘outside’ ONE.

Emptiness ‘is’ nothing-ness
and the absence of the individual-personal-identity
reveals the God-SELF [which ‘is’ Peace],
another name for ONE ‘individuated’
[yet still ONE].

-Returning to the Awareness of the Peace You Are,
occurs effortlessly and automatically
when the person dissolves back
into the God-SELF.

AFTERNOON

At the core of not-knowing
Excerpt

At times it will appear that nothing is happening,
which can lead to a framing that we are “stuck,”
“not doing it right,”
or “lost in some sort of ‘low vibration.’”
The mind has a nearly unlimited capacity to fantasize,
especially in ways that enact early patterning of shame,
self-abandonment,
and misattuned empathic failure.

There is profound wisdom and creativity in the core of not-knowing,
in slowness, in patience, and in rest,
but we must retrain ourselves to receive that level of revelation.

But before we turn from the non-conventional allies of confusion and doubt,
let us slow down and re-imagine.
In a world that is fixated with doing, with answers,
and with resolving the contradictions and wildness of the human being,
we must remember that death is required
for new forms of love and creativity to emerge.

As an experiment, you could say out loud,
with the earth as your witness,
“I don’t know.”
And give yourself permission to not-know, for now,
without any shame, judgment, or pressure
to resolve the mysteries of the heart.

There is profound wisdom and creativity
in the core of not-knowing,
in slowness, in patience, and in rest,
but we must retrain ourselves
to receive that level of revelation.

In this reception,
we see that not-knowing is a perfectly valid, honorable,
and authentic place to be,
and not in need of transformation.
It is a pure expression of life,
in and of itself, exactly as it is.

Its value is not in its transcendence,
but in its embodied embrace.

Matt Licata

Truth means ‘that which is.’
To make friends with ‘that which is,’
you simply have to Be.

*13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
It is not up to us to fight, it is up to us to follow.
We have to trust that God not only knows our situation but knows the outcome.
The ability to be still
when everything in you is screaming to do anything but be still
is the essence of faith,
and it is then that we see the greatest miracles.

GOD IS 'NOT' WITHIN YOU
JOHN McINTOSH

God is NOT ‘within’ you.
God [the ONE Reality by any name] ‘cannot be contained’ being Infinite and … there ‘is’ no ‘you’ as an individual person - ‘YOU’ … ARE GOD.

The ‘you’ most call themselves is a fiction made up of attachments,
expectations, identifications, memory and imagination
and changes from moment to moment.
This ‘you’ at age 5 is totally different from ‘you’ at 35.

Truth is eternal and never changing.
That which most call reality,
which includes your immediate surroundings,
your ‘unique’ world
and the universe that ‘seems’ to be somewhere ‘out there’
is totally dependent on this illusory ‘you’
and does NOT exist ‘without’ you.
All of it is a dream ‘within’ YOU.

It is common to hear of the Divine Presence
being somehow ‘enveloped’
within this ‘made-up’ body-mind-identity called ‘you’,
but this is part of the false self’s subtle trickery
to keep you trapped in the dream of separation.

There are a multitude of ‘tiny’ phrases and concepts
that ‘sculpt’ the conditioning which
binds you with paper chains
that seem unbreakable.

‘God within you’, ‘the spark of God within’,
‘surrounded in Light’
and the concept of ‘self improvement
or self empowerment’
are just a few.
None of these is Real
despite the widespread popularity of them.

ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness
[Who You Really Are]
cannot be ‘circumscribed’.
Everything that ‘seems to be’ is ‘contained within’ IT. IT is Emptiness
– Nothing-ness as well as All That Is.

To say that your unique world is ‘within YOU’
[as the God-SELF]
is as accurate as is possible.

This offers a more precise setting
‘from which’ to observe the grand dream
that you have known as reality for eons
and ‘in which’ you may continue to PLAY in,
Free of the binding illusion
that you are an individual person
with some sort of God ‘outside’.

This giant LEAP in Awareness
is available to you in this very Moment.

We are very much enclosed in our own psychology,
and we project that psychology all around.

A man of silence finds this whole world is full of silence.
Even the sounds only deepen the silence.
And a man full of noise never becomes aware
of the immense silences in the night.

It all depends on you.
Your world is nothing but you, projected.

Become silent.
In your silence, all questions will disappear.
And the dance will begin, whatever the figure!
Because as far as your inner being is concerned, it has no figure;
it is just a luminous flame which can dance.

It has been eternally there, repressed by you.
You are the greatest enemy of yourself.
My effort is to turn you into the greatest friend of yourself.

A man of silence moves with a certain field of energy around him,
and if you are receptive, his vibe starts touching your heart.

In meditation, silence comes on its own accord.
You simply go on watching the mind without any control,
without any repression,
and silence comes suddenly just like a breeze,
and with the silence, the fragrance of the flowers
— that is your blissfulness;
it is your own fragrance which
you were not capable of knowing
because there was so much noise.

Ask, do everything that is possible, and then finally
— tired, exhausted —
you need to relax;
you even let go of the idea of enlightenment,
it is all futile.

In this silence, when there is no desire stirring your mind,
you suddenly find you are the enlightened one.
That enlightenment was not somewhere else,
it was within you.
But it needed utter silence, no desire.

Enlightenment as such is already there.
You are a buddha,
but you are not aware of it.
How to make you aware of it?
Down the ages, this has been the way,
and I don’t see there is any other possibility.

You will become aware of it only in utter silence.
But the utter silence, a state of no-mind, a pure space,
needs all your desires to be exhausted.

Being in the presence of a master,
silence happens on its own accord.
Just as in the deep Himalayas,
where the snow is eternal and the silence almost ancient…
just sitting there under a tree,
you start feeling, falling in tune with the immensity that surrounds you.
To be in the presence of the master is even more deep-going.

Your inner being can be reflected only in a mirror without any ripples.

No mind
— absolute silence of all thoughts, absence of the mind completely —
becomes the mirror without any ripples,
without even a single fluttering of thought.

And suddenly, the explosion:
you have become aware for the first time of your own being.

What is the point of a beautiful sunrise if you are asleep?
What is the beauty of a rose if you are asleep?
Mind is your sleep, concentrated or not.
Meditation is your awakening.

The moment you awake, sleep disappears and with it all the dreams,
all the projections, all expectations, all desires.
Suddenly you are in a state of desirelessness,
non-ambition, unfathomable silence.
And only in this silence, blossoms flower in your being.
Only in this silence the lotuses open their petals.

Truth is not something that comes from outside,
it arises out of the intensity of your silence.
In fact, the intensity of your silence,
a great silence crystallized,
is truth.

Truth is not something other than silence.
A small silence becomes the door to greater silences,
and finally, the silence itself becomes so condensed
— Gurdjieff used to call it the crystallization —
you find yourself.

In that very finding you have found the truth.
Then life is a sheer joy, a song, a dance, a celebration.

The Lone Tree - Harbour Waters this morning.

If you really want to express the truth,
don’t say anything about it, just leave the gap.
Let people hear without your saying anything.
That’s the only way truth has always been transferred --
from one silent heart to another silent heart.

In utter silence
is the only possibility to meet, to merge, to share.

Silence is all that is needed,
and everything else follows on its own accord.

Meditation is an effort to bring light and to bring joy
and to bring silence and to bring blissfulness,
and out of this beautiful world of meditation
it is impossible for you to do anything wrong.

So I have changed it completely.
Religions were insisting on action;
my insistence is on consciousness,
and consciousness can grow only in silence.

Silence is the right soil for consciousness
. When you are noisy you cannot be very alert and conscious.
When you are conscious and alert, you cannot be noisy --
they cannot co-exist.

Grace comes as a flowering of your being.
The moment your meditation reaches to the deepest core,
to the very center of the cyclone,
a tremendous silence, peace and blissfulness arise within you.

Grace is the total effect of all these qualities:
silence, peace, love, compassion, blissfulness, ecstasy.
When these things arise in you,
their flame, their fire
starts radiating from your physical body.
They are so much they start overflowing.
That overflowing of your inner ecstasy
is what can be defined as grace.

Impatience makes you ugly.
Impatience is a disturbance in your meditation.
Learn to wait.
Be patient and trust that existence will give
you whatever you are ready for.
All that you have to do is to go on deeper in meditation,
beyond mind into silence.
No thoughts, no emotions, no moods,
just a silent watchfulness and waiting
for whatever existence finds you ready for.

GOD IS 'NOT' WITHIN YOU
JOHN McINTOSH
God is NOT ‘within’ you. God [the ONE Reality by any name] ‘cannot be contained’ being Infinite and … there ‘is’ no ‘you’ as an individual person - ‘YOU’ … ARE GOD.
The ‘you’ most call themselves is a fiction made up of attachments, expectations, identifications, memory and imagination and changes from moment to moment. This ‘you’ at age 5 is totally different from ‘you’ at 35. Truth is eternal and never changing. That which most call reality, which includes your immediate surroundings, your ‘unique’ world and the universe that ‘seems’ to be somewhere ‘out there’ is totally dependent on this illusory ‘you’ and does NOT exist ‘without’ you. All of it is a dream ‘within’ YOU.
It is common to hear of the Divine Presence being somehow ‘enveloped’ within this ‘made-up’ body-mind-identity called ‘you’, but this is part of the false self’s subtle trickery to keep you trapped in the dream of separation. There are a multitude of ‘tiny’ phrases and concepts that ‘sculpt’ the conditioning which binds you with paper chains that seem unbreakable. ‘God within you’, ‘the spark of God within’, ‘surrounded in Light’ and the concept of ‘self improvement or self empowerment’ are just a few. None of these is Real despite the widespread popularity of them.
ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness [Who You Really Are] cannot be ‘circumscribed’. Everything that ‘seems to be’ is ‘contained within’ IT. IT is Emptiness – Nothing-ness as well as All That Is. To say that your unique world is ‘within YOU’ [as the God-SELF] is as accurate as is possible. This offers a more precise setting ‘from which’ to observe the grand dream that you have known as reality for eons and ‘in which’ you may continue to PLAY in, Free of the binding illusion that you are an individual person with some sort of God ‘outside’.
This giant LEAP in Awareness is available to you in this very Moment.

THE SILENCE BEFORE SOUND PREVAILS
ALL IS ALWAYS WELL
ew
3:12 AM-5/3/19

When you become aware of silence,
immediately there is that state of inner still alertness.
You are present.
You have stepped out of thousands of years
of collective human conditioning.
Eckhart Tolle

When you cease to fear your solitude,
a new creativity awakens in you.
Your forgotten or neglected wealth begins to reveal itself.
You come home to yourself and learn to rest within.
Thoughts are our inner senses.
Infused with silence and solitude,
they bring out the mystery of inner landscape.

WAITING AND PATIENCE
John McIntosh

Waiting and patience on the surface
sound like important attributes of a spiritually oriented person.
However, both suggest desire,
wanting and time in some way.
The God-SELF has no desires of any kind being ‘complete’.

Stillness, also known as Silence
‘is’ Empty [the God-SELF], wanting for nothing.
In every moment, while IT dwells within a body
IT is provided for perfectly.

The false self, which claims it is ‘seeking’ Freedom,
is always looking to gain things and experiences
that it says are for its highest good
and will in some way lead
to Freedom ‘out there’ someday.

But Freedom is always and only Now
and requires nothing but your undivided Attention ‘on’ it.
In this way Awareness ‘of’ it EXPANDS.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says: "Love is patient ... "
however, this is not the time/desire oriented patience
the false self speaks of
but the ‘infinite and all-encompassing
unconditioned’ Love/Patience
that has no beginning or ending.
As with many passages in sacred texts,
meanings are often misinterpreted
or distorted altogether.
They must be understood through
the Feeling nature of the Heart.

Despite words being a basic requisite of human communication,
Truth simply IS and cannot be personified.

‘Silence’ is the highest form of communicating Truth.

is the greatest service you can render the world.”

AFTERNOON

You have been telling the people that this is
the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour.

And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?

Where is your water?
Know your garden.

It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those
who will be afraid.

They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart
and they will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.

The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
keep our eyes open and our heads above the water.
See who is in there with you and celebrate.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves.
For the moment that we do,
our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner
and in celebration.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

The human condition in terms of good and evil,
which really means pleasure and pain,

TOTAL SURRENDER
John McIntosh

“I surrender … except for this.”
This is how the false self surrenders when it comes knocking.

For most in the beginning,
surrender arises due to intense suffering.
It is often expressed as ‘giving up’ rather than ‘giving in’,
which is much different.
The ‘giving up’ kind of surrender ‘bargains’ much like most prayers,
asking for relief or gifts of some kind in exchange
for a conditioning obedience,
and it is NOT authentic.

True surrender recognizes
that there is a higher power
that can take care of Life far better
than the body/mind can
and releases ‘everything’ to IT.

It does not say;
“I surrender all, except for this or that,
which I will continue to monitor and intervene with
… just in case.”

True surrender is total or not at all.
‘Thy will be done’ is one way to acknowledge this
[if that resonates with you].

It is another way of saying YES to ‘What Is’,
accepting that in some way
‘What Is’ is an aspect of what is Perfect
for your highest purpose
[despite not knowing what that is].

Until you have stepped off
the ‘illusionary’ wheel of karma - totally Free,
it will shape your destiny in the grand dream
and in doing so expose that which is NOT you.

It is a bitter-sweet blessing in that respect
and part of the unfolding Will of the God-SELF You Are
to return you to
‘Your Freedom’.
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/total-surrender

The Outsiders

We tend to look
much like the others.
We walk with the same hesitation
or else perhaps vibrant step.
We go to the same
schools,
write on the same subjects,
sing in the same choirs.

But sometimes they know
that we are different,
as if we are aware of something
beyond what the others
command.
They look on us
as odd, strange,
a bit eccentric.

They think we have unusual
hobbies,
follow strange beliefs,
bow to secret gods.

Not until we leave
and our papers explain
do they realize
that we were the other,
the ones from elsewhere
who mingled
unnoticed for so long.

Only then do they understand
the look in our eyes,
the distant gaze, the intent focus,
as if we were listening
to a song
they did not hear.

what truth they can exchange!
It is uttered in silence,
yet always surely reaches its goal.

You must go in quest of yourself,

in the simple and forgotten things.
Why not go into the forest for a time,
literally? Sometimes a tree tells you
more than can be read in books.

"This quiet center,
in which you do nothing,
will remain with you,
giving you rest in the midst of every busy doing
on which you are sent."
(T.18.VII.8.3) (ACIM OE T.18.VIII.70)
In other words, we bring the peace to every situation.

To rest in God is to be in His flow and allow Him to lead the way.
To rest in God is to find our center of peace, if only for a moment,
where we release the external world.

To rest in God is to know the constancy of the Self
we are and know the changing, seeking, and striving self is an illusion.

To rest in God is to know we are eternally safe in His loving arms.

Today, let us find this place of respite within
and know that in spite of any experiences of stress and turmoil,
the truth is that we are at home,
we are safe,
and we are whole.
When we don't experience this,
we are actually listening to the ego.

THE BLESSING OF DISCORD
JOHN MCINTOSH

Disease is never somehow ‘defeated’.
Disease is no more real than the mind that manifested it.
Nothing shows up in your personal experience
that ‘you’ [not YOU] did not project into it.

It is NOT created because only that which is eternal is a True creation …
it is only an additional ‘scene’ written into your play of life
– just as story.

The body/mind are both a part of these projections
as are the world, the planets, galaxies and universe(s) …
all holographic and very believable stories
YOU as the sleeping God-SELF You Are have made up
and stepped into to experience.

When illness shows up in your body,
from a hang-nail to a cancer
it is a ‘projection’ only
[usually below the radar of your awareness]
… an amalgam of thoughts co-mingled
with a ‘stew’ of your own unique conditioning
[attachments, expectations and identifications]
and designed to get your ‘attention’
so that you will turn within
and look at and feel what conditioning
is ready to be transformed
[returned to nothing-ness].

Few, as yet ‘get’ this
and instead deal with the illness
with a band-aid approach treatment – ‘out there’
rather than inside.
This merely shifts the energy
to reappear elsewhere in your experience
or terminates this particular temporary body you are wearing.

It has NOT ‘gone’ anywhere and ‘ will’ come again
‘somehow’ until it is transformed.

Everything in your world experience
is a gentle to a shocking ‘tug’ on your ‘attention’
to pull you inside and WILL NOT leave
until you are fully aware of the God You Are.

This is the enormous blessing of discord.

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/the-blessing-of-discord

Rest seems like a nice contrast to overwhelment,
but enthusiasm is always chosen over rest.
The only thing that ever makes you tired
or bogs you down
is resistance.
http://abrahamquotes.com/2019/04/daily-quote-june-10-2017/

Overwhelment is about you
not being up to speed
with what you told the Universe that you want.
The Universe is yielding to you.
You’re just not ready to receive it right now.

http://abrahamquotes.com/2019/04/daily-quote-june-9-2017/

The surest sign of spiritual progress
is a total lack of concern about progress.
There is an utter absence of anxiety
about anything like liberation
and a sort of hollowness in one's being,
a kind of looseness and involuntary surrender
to whatever might happen.
Rasmesh S. Balsekar

The original and eternal state of ours
can no more be described than can the state of deep sleep.
What spills over into the description
is the sense of peace and contentment,
but the state itself cannot be defined.
Beyond merely pointing at it,
words can only turn into silence.

YOU ARE THIS
Part - 3
John McIntosh

When you are ‘Aware’ you have always been Self Realized
[since it is your ever-present Reality]
… IT will have no significance, nor will it be ‘known’ at all.
All labels constructed by the sleeping God-SELF You Are – dissolve,
along with their many meanings.

The concept of ‘problems’ also disappears
since there is no attachment to consequences …
What IS, simply IS.

The many reactions emanating from ‘fear’ no longer have life –
Peace, in all circumstances IS.

Concepts such as sympathy and pity
have also faded into nothing-ness
because the belief in victim-hood
has departed along with separation.

These have been replaced
with an all-encompassing compassion
for those who still suffer in the world of dreams.

While the state of Pure Conscious Awareness
may often seem passive and indifferent,
that one knows that everything playing
on the screen of consciousness
‘is’ ONE ‘as’ them
and the Peace, Joy and Love they Are
experiences no separation.

The vast contrasts apparent throughout humanity,
the world and the universe have melted
into the seamless essence of Beauty
to the one who is Aware of Truth.

Nor can the endless swirling chaos
of drama within the dream
touch the one who sees
the Infinite Harmony in diversity.

YOU ARE THIS.

AFTERNOON

Eric Baret - Transmission

The heart is yearning to be open.
When a heart meets an open heart,
when a match approaches a lighted match,
it rejoices in unity, in the flame;
There is no longer a match.
This is called transmission.
But nothing is transmitted.
No one transmits, no one receives;
There is heart-to-heart transmission.
There is only one heart.

This Giving Up
Rumi
Can you find another market like this?
Where, with your one rose
you can buy hundreds of rose gardens?

Where, for one seed you get a whole wilderness?
For one weak breath, the divine wind?

You have been fearful of being absorbed
in the ground, or drawn up by the air.

Now your waterbead lets go
and drops into the ocean, where it came from.

This giving up is not a repenting.
It is a deep honoring of yourself.

When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry, at once, quickly for God's sake.

Don't postpone it. Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching will find this.

A perfect falcon, for no reason,
has landed on your shoulder, and become yours.

~ Rumi
