Pure prayer begins at the threshold of silence.
It says nothing, asks for nothing.
It is a kind of listening.

The deeper the listening,
the less we listen for,
until silence itself
becomes
the voice of God.

― Stephen Mitchell
A Book of Psalms: Selections Adapted from the Hebrew

The great Way is easy,
yet people prefer the side paths.
Be aware when things are out of balance.

Stay centered within the Tao.

When rich speculators prosper while farmers lose their land;
when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures;
when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible
while the poor have nowhere to turn—
all this is robbery and chaos.

It is not in keeping with the Tao.

― Stephen Mitchell, Tao Te Ching

So if you are thinking,
words are very bad.

But if you are not thinking,
all words and all things that you can see or hear
or smell or taste or touch
will help you.

So it is very important for you
to cut off your thinking
and
your attachment to words.”

― Stephen Mitchell
Dropping Ashes on the Buddha: The Teachings of Zen Master Seung Sahn

The less we cling to one side of reality
—betting on either or or, arguing for for or against--
the more we can be aware
of the exquisite counterpoint of things.

Everything matters:
how we vote,
how we tie our shoelaces,
how we respond
to the faintest whisper
of a thought.

And nothing matters,
because (look!) it’s already gone.

When we understand this, we’re home free.
― Stephen Mitchell,
The Second Book of the Tao

Because the practices of lovingkindness and compassion
can lead to excessive attachment to the way things ought to be,
their tender warmth needs to be balanced with spacious equanimity.

But evenhanded equanimity
can lead to excessive detachment,
so its coolness needs to be balanced
with loving care and compassion.

Learning this balance is essential
for a steady heart.

Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms,
and bids us enjoy her beauty;
but we dread her silence
and rush into the crowded cities,
there to huddle like sheep
fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran
https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/fulltime-naked-grace-womb-of-creation-open-awareness-august-15-2018

All things in this creation exist within you, and all things in you exist in creation;
there is no border between you and the closest things,
and there is no distance between you and the farthest things,
and all things,
from the lowest to the loftiest,
from the smallest to the greatest,
are within you as equal things.

In one atom are found all the elements of the earth;
in one motion of the mind are found the motions
of all the laws of existence;
in one drop of water are found the secrets
of all the endless oceans;
in one aspect of you are found
all the aspects of existence.
- Kahlil Gibran

Every thing [sic] in nature bespeaks the mother.
The sun is the mother of the earth and gives it its nourishment of heat;
it never leaves the universe at night
until it has put the earth to sleep to the song of the sea
and the hymn of the birds and brooks.

And this earth is the mother of trees and flowers.
It produces them, nurses them, and weans them.
The trees and flowers become kind mothers
of their great fruits and seeds.

And the mother,
the prototype of all existence,
is the eternal spirit,
full of beauty and love.

Kahlil Gibran

We who live amid the excitements of the city
know nothing of the life of the mountain villagers.

We are swept into the current of urban existence,
until we forget the peaceful rhythms of simple country life,
which smiles in the spring,
toils in the summer, reaps in autumn, rests in winter,
imitating nature in all her cycles.

We are wealthier than the villagers in silver or gold,
but they are richer in spirit.
What we sow we reap not; they reap what they sow.

We are slaves of gain, and they the children of contentment.
Our draught from the cup of life
is mixed with bitterness and despair,
fear and weariness;
but they drink the pure nectar of life’s fulfillment.
Kahlil Gibran

My God state is sustained by the beauty
you behold wheresoever you lift your eyes;
a beauty which is Nature in all her forms.

A beauty which is the beginning of the shepherd’s happiness
as he stands among the hills;
and the villager’s in his fields;
and of the wandering tribes
between mountain and plain.

A beauty which is a stepping-stone for the wise
to the throne of the living Truth.
Kahlil Gibran

I heard the brook lamenting
like a widow mourning her dead child and I asked,
"Why do you weep, my pure brook?"

And the brook replied,
"Because I am compelled to go to the city
where Man condemns me and spurns me for stronger drinks
and makes of me a scavenger for his offal,
pollutes my purity,
and turns my goodness to filth."

And I heard the birds grieving, and I asked,
"Why do you cry, my beautiful birds?"
And one of them flew near, and perched at the tip of a branch and said,

"The sons of Adam will soon come into this field
with their deadly weapons and make war upon us
as if we were their mortal enemies.

We are now taking leave of one another,
for we know not which of us will escape the wrath of Man.
Death follows us wherever we go."

Now the sun rose from behind the mountain peaks
and gilded the treetops with coronals.
I look upon this beauty and asked myself, "
Why must Man destroy what Nature has built?"
Kahlil Gibran

Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth,
and like an air plant be sustained by the light.
But since you must kill to eat,
and rob the newly born of its mother’s milk to quench your thirst,
let it be an act of worship.

And let your board stand an altar
on which the pure and the innocent of the forest and plain
are sacrificed for that which is purer
and still more innocent in man.
Kahlil Gibran

Should you really
open your eyes and see,
you would behold
your image in all images…

And should you
open your ears and listen,
you would hear your own voice
in all voices…
—Kahlil Gibran
...

The soul has been given its own ears to hear
things the mind does not understand.

I am too alone in the world, and not alone enough
to make every minute holy.
I am too tiny in this world,
and not tiny enough
just to lie before you like a thing,
shrewd and secretive.

I want my own will,
and I want simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action, and in the silent,
sometimes hardly moving times
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know secret things
or else alone.

I want to be a mirror for your whole body,
and I never want to be blind,
or to be too old to hold up your old and swaying picture.

I want to unfold.

I don’t want to stay folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie.
And I want my grasp of things true before you.

I want to describe myself like a painting
that I looked at closely for a long time,
like a saying that I finally understood,
like the pitcher I use every day,
like the face of my mother,
like a ship that took me safely
through the wildest storm of all.

—Rainer Maria Rilke

AFTERNOON

If You Seek Reality - Nisargadatta & Adyashanti

If you seek Reality
you must set yourself free
of all backgrounds, of all cultures,
of all patterns of thinking and feeling.

Even the idea of being a man or a woman,
or even human, should be discarded.

The Ocean of Life contains all,
not only humans.

So first abandon all self-identification,
stop thinking of
yourself as such-and-such, so-and-so,
this or that.

Abandon
all self-concern,
worry not about your welfare, material or spiritual,
abandon every desire, gross or subtle,
stop thinking of achievement of every kind.

You are complete, as you are...

Nisargadatta
https://mysticmeandering.blogspot.com/2020/01/if-you-seek-reality-nisargadatta.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MysticMeandering+%28Mystic+Meandering%29

You have to be willing to ask, "Who am I?"
or "What am I?"
without any script or role,
without the story about
who you are and what you are,
releasing the script of what you think
your life is about.
Every sense of identity has its script - like,
"I'm a spiritual seeker."
We each have a specific role
and our stories about that role.
But our roles and stories are not
what we are...

When you start to realize what the truth is,
you wake up from the story of you.
You recognize that truth is not an abstraction,
it is not something to learn.
You discover that truth is who you
are without a script or role...

There is a state in which mind says,
"I have no idea who I am",
because it can't find the right script.
Awakening is the realization that happens
after the mind says,"I give up.
I just have no idea who I am."
When you start to understand this,
you realize that if you put down your script
and just drop the
roles for a moment,
you are not
what you have taken yourself
to be.

What you are without your role
is often assumed to be hidden.
So when you look past your character called "me"
for the truth of your being,
you may think there's someone to find who is
somewhere hidden.

Looking for the "enlightened Self"
is just another role, another script.
If you drop the script, what are you?
Enlightenment is to have no script...

Give up the script, the role, the identity -
even it is to have no identity..

The Morning Whisper Writes

The Sound of The Genuine - Howard Thurman

There is something in every one of you that waits, listens for
the sound of the genuine in yourself.
And if you cannot hear it,
you will never find whatever it is
for which you are searching,
and if you hear it and then do not follow it,
it was better that
you had never been born...

You are the only you that has ever lived;
your idiom [your unique signature] is the only idiom
of its kind in all of existence
and if you cannot hear the sound
of the genuine in you,
you will all of your life spend your days on the
ends of strings that somebody else pulls...

There is in you something that waits and listens
for the sound of
the genuine in yourself,
and sometimes there is
so much traffic going on in your minds,
so many different kinds of signals,
so many vast
impulses floating through your organism
that go back thousands of generations,
long before you were even a thought
in the mind of creation,
and you are buffeted by these,
and in the midst of all of this
you have got to find out.....Who you are...
How the sound of
the genuine comes through to you...

The sound of the genuine is flowing through you.
Don't be deceived and thrown off
by all the noises that are a part
even of your dreams, your ambitions,
so that you don't hear the sound of the genuine in you,
because that is the only true guide
that you will ever have,
and if you
don't have that
you don't have a thing.

You may be famous.
You may be whatever the other ideals are which
are part of this generation,
but you know you don't have the foggiest
notion of who you are,
where you are going,
what you want.

Cultivate the discipline of
listening to
the sound of the genuine in yourself.

Now there is something in everybody
that waits and listens for the
sound of the genuine in other people.
And it is so easy to say that
anybody who looks like him or her,
anybody who acts as this person acts,
can't hear any sound of the genuine.

I must wait and listen for
the sound of the genuine in you.
I must wait.
For if I cannot hear it,
then in my scheme of things,
you are not even present.
And everybody
wants to feel
that everybody else knows
that she is there.

There is something that waits and listens
for the sound of the genuine
in your mother, in your father,
in the people you can't stand,
and if you had the power
you would wipe them out.

But instinctively you
know that if you wipe them out,
you go with them.

So you fight for your own life
by finding some way to get along with them
without killing them.

There is something in you that waits and listens
for the sound of the genuine in other people.
And if you can't hear it,
then you are reduced by that much.

If I were to ask you what is the thing that you
desire most in life,
you would say a lot of things
off the top of your head,
most of which you wouldn't believe
but you would think that
you were saying the things
that I thought you ought to think
that you should say.

But I think that if you were stripped
of whatever there is in you that is
literal and irreducible,
and you tried to answer that question,
the answer may be something like this:
I want to feel completely vulnerable,
completely naked,
completely exposed
and absolutely secure...
[i.e. to be my Authentic Self].

This is what you look for in your children [if] you have them,
this is what you look for in your husband if you get one.
That I can run the risk of radical exposure
and know that the eye that beholds my vulnerability
will not step on me.
That I can feel secure
in my awareness of the
active presence of my own
[uniqueness].

So as I live my life then,
this is what I am trying to fulfill.
It doesn't matter whether I become a doctor, lawyer, housewife.
I'm secure
because I hear the sound of the genuine in myself
and having learned to listen to that,
I can become quiet enough, still enough,
to hear the
sound of the genuine in you.

Now if I hear the sound of the genuine in me,
and if I hear the soundof the genuine in you,
it is possible for me to go down in me
and come up in you.

So that when I look at myself
through your eyes having made that pilgrimage,
I see in me what you see in me and the wall
that separates and divides will disappear
and we will become as one,
because the sound of the genuine
makes the same music.

Howard Thurman
from a 1980 commencement speech at Spelman College

with thanks to The Beauty We Love

Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive,
and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people
who have come alive...

AFTERNOON

From
The Prophet
by
Kahlil Gibran

Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love.
     And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:
     When love beckons to you, follow him,
     Though his ways are hard and steep.
     And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
     Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
     And when he speaks to you believe in him,
     Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses
your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots
and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself
     He threshes you to make your naked.
     He sifts you to free you from your husks.
     He grinds you to whiteness.
     He kneads you until you are pliant;
     And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become
sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you
that you may know the secrets of your heart,
and in that knowledge
become a fragment of Life’s heart.

But if in your heart you would seek only
love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you
cover your nakedness and pass out
of love’s threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you
shall laugh,
but not all of your laughter,
and weep,
but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but itself
and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say,
“God is in my heart,”
but rather,
“I am in the heart of God.”
And think not you can direct the course of love,
for love, if it finds you worthy,
directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
     But if you love and must needs have desires,
let these be your desires:
     To melt and be like a running brook
that sings its melody to the night.
     To know the pain of too much tenderness.
     To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
   And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart
and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved
in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Kahlil Gibran - 1883-1931

Re: Kahlil Gibran
"His power came from some great reservoir of spiritual life else it could not have been so universal and so potent,
but the majesty and beauty of the language
with which he clothed it were all his own."

In the Garden of The Beloved

You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving."
The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in
your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold
is to perish. Surely he who is worthy to receive his days
and his nights, is worthy of all else from you.
And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life
deserves to fill his cup from your little stream.

See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver,
and an instrument of giving.
For in truth it is life that gives unto life while you,
who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness.

Kahlil Gibran

AFTERNOON

The principle of life and the principle of death
constantly manifest themselves
throughout all of nature and,
consequently, in human beings too.

As soon as a foetus is formed
within a mother’s womb,
the principle of death begins to fight against
the principle of life.
Its action is limited at first –
it is the spirit that triumphs.

But later on,
once the spirit has succeeded
in carrying out its projects within a person,
it gradually leaves their body.

Everything that is born must die,
this is a law.
It is impossible to conquer
the principle of destruction,
but we are not obliged to submit to it.

When old age is upon us,
when we lose our strength and our physical means,
we must tell ourselves that now, more than ever,
is the time to seek out other activities.

For there are always other tasks
and other sources of joy
for those who know how
to dig deep within themselves
in order to bring forth
their spiritual energy,
and
this energy is boundless.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

The great thing is, or should be, love of truth.
I know there is nothing more precious
than the bond of charity
created by communicating and sharing the truth.
This is my whole life.

Quotes below from:
https://mailchi.mp/brainpickings/kahlil-gibran-wendell-berry-mariahadessa-ekere-tallie?e=bc3afd75c6

Something strange and wondrous
begins to happen when one
spends stretches of time in solitude,
in the company of trees,
far from the bustle of the human world
with its echo chamber
of judgments and opinions --
a kind of rerooting
in one’s deepest self-knowledge,
a relearning of how to simply be oneself,
one’s most authentic self.
Wendell Berry
knew this when he observed that
“true solitude is found in the wild places, where one is without human obligation”
— the places where
“one’s inner voices become audible.”

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts;
And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude
of your heart you live in your lips,
and sound is a diversion and a pastime.

And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

For thought is a bird of space,
that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings
but cannot fly.
Kahlil Gibran

There are those among you who seek the talkative
through fear of being alone.
The silence of aloneness reveals to their eyes
their naked selves and they would escape.
And there are those who talk,
and without knowledge or forethought
reveal a truth which they themselves
do not understand.
And there are those who have the truth within them,
but they tell it not in words.
In the bosom of such as these
the spirit dwells in rhythmic silence.
Kahlil Gibran

There is the dumb silence of slumber or apathy
…the fertile silence of awareness, pasturing the soul…
the silence of peaceful accord
with other persons or communion with the cosmos.
Paul Goodman

More from
Paul Goodman:

Not speaking and speaking are both human ways
of being in the world,
and there are kinds and grades of each.

There is the dumb silence of slumber or apathy;
the sober silence that goes
with a solemn animal face;
the fertile silence of awareness, pasturing the soul, whence emerge new thoughts;
the alive silence of alert perception, ready to say, “This… this…”;
the musical silence
that accompanies absorbed activity;
the silence of listening to another speak,
catching the drift and helping him be clear;
the noisy silence of resentment
and self-recrimination,
loud and subvocal speech
but sullen to say it;
baffled silence;
the silence of peaceful accord
with other persons or communion with the cosmos.
Paul Goodman

“One’s inner voices become audible
[and,] in consequence,
one responds more clearly to other lives”
Wendell Berry

Silence is the presence of time undisturbed.
It can be felt in the chest.
It nurtures our nature.
George Hempton

For forty years,
just like everybody else,
I believed I was my thoughts and my body :
I believed I was somebody.
And then there was a shift.
Spontaneously, in a flash, mind was totally silent.

Not a single thought:
silence, stupefaction, profound astonishment left no room
for anything else whatsoever.

Thus I started observing.
The way I operated had changed.
There was this “thing”, the silence…
and alongside that there was “everything else”.

The name I give to this “everything else” is “I am”,
that is to say whatever arises from one moment to the next:
I saw that everything appeared within this thing,
this silence,
from moment to moment.
That everything disappeared within it too.
Yolande Duran

Beginning Paragraphs of Entire Interview here....with Yolande Duran
http://yolandeduran.com/en/interview-magazine-3eme-millenaire/

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles.

Meantime within man is the soul of the whole;
the wise silence;
the universal beauty,
to which every part and particle is equally related;
the eternal ONE.

And this deep power in which we exist,
and whose beatitude is all accessible to us,
is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour,
but the act of seeing and the thing seen,
the seer and the spectacle,
the subject and the object, are one.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

.....a silence of the soul,
a silence grounded in the great void.
There is something about us
of a piece with the primordial silence.
A silence waiting for God’s speech, for God’s Word.
A silence into which poetry may be spoken,
that poetry being we ourselves: the poetry of our souls,
the poetry of our very bodies.

POETRY – THE ART OF THE VOICE

How fine will your breath become
from listening to these words?

How soft will they seem to be
as they settle through the mind
like silent snowflakes falling
from a windless winter sky?

I often marvel at the mystery--
how words can work
on a listener’s heart and mind,
upon hearing a poet’s thoughts,
a poet’s breath, flowing
from an inner voice--

a windless wind, speaking
through a voiceless voice.

A human being is part of a whole,
called by us the ‘Universe,’
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings,
as something separated from the rest —-
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest us.

Our task must be to free ourselves
from this prison
by widening our circles of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty.
—Albert Einstein

INTERVIEW with Yolande Duran -
Blog, Prensa
"Awakening" in/of/as ONLY SILENCE
(excerpt)

In your own words, you testify to a sudden openness
of the self without a reference point or a long spiritual search.
What were the circumstances of this awakening?
It took only that one moment
to see that all that I thought I was, I am not.
I discovered by myself my true nature,
and since then
I am in a state of profound amazement.

Can you describe what you felt
during this instant when awakening happened?
An absolutely powerful obviousness that took over
everything that I thought I was.
A power that overtook the three states
(wakefulness, sleep and dream)
and all that they contain
This is the most potent power in the universe.
SILENCE HEALS.
My vision has changed completely.
It is no longer me who sees with the eyes of my body
but it is silence that sees.
It is a constant state free of thoughts.
In a word,
my true nature is not to think
but to see the body and the senses
play their roles.

What do you see differently?
Previously,
my attention was focused on the world,
and since this encounter my attention is focused on SILENCE.
So, whether my eyes are open or closed,
I only see that.

What is your teaching?
The teaching of Yolande is only the expression of her own experience and realization. A realized person uses his or her own language.
SILENCE is the best language.
SILENCE is the true teaching.
SILENCE is my unique and only reference.
In the silence of our meetings,
let us be guided
by the power of Silence.

Rest as the Primordial Silence eludes all thinking,
and yet it is the setting free of Pure Intelligence.
To think, there must be someone reflecting, subject and object.
The Primordial Silence is So Complete,
that even the idea of incompletion is completely beyond its scope.
As the Primordial Silence,
Everything is Self-explanatory and flows forth as waves on an ocean.

SILENCE BEFORE SOUND "...wanting for nothing." "...take nothing personally." "...effortlessness itself." May 3, 2019

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.

“Your own Self-Realization
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,
is like that of fleas on a hot griddle -
he who jumps must fall,

Some might call it freedom.”

You touched that wildness deep within today, my Beloved….only God has been able to embrace that fully…that’s a wildness no human has touched as you do.

AFTERNOON

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.

The Master
Verses 61-80

61
The fool is busy
Even when he is still.
Even when he is busy
The master gathers the fruits of stillness.

62
The fool often spurns his possessions.
The master is no longer attached to his body.
So how can he feel attraction or aversion?

63
The awareness of the fool is always limited
By thinking, or by trying not to think.
The awareness of the man who lives within,
Though he may be busy thinking,
Is beyond even awareness itself.

64
The master is like a child.
All his actions are without motive.
He is pure.
Whatever he does, he is detached.

65
He is blessed.
He understands the nature of the Self.
His mind is no longer thirsty.
He is the same under all conditions,
Whatever he sees or hears,
Or smells or touches or tastes.

66
The master is like the sky.
He never changes.
What does the world matter to him,
Or its reflection?
What does he care about seeking,
Or the end of seeking?

67
He is ever the same.
The victory is his.
He has conquered the world.
He is the embodiment
Of his own perfect essence,
By nature one with the infinite.

68
What more is there to say?
He knows the truth.
He has no desire for pleasure or liberation.
At all times, in all places,
He is free from passion.

69
He has given up the duality of the world
Which arises with the mind
And is nothing more than a name.
He is pure awareness.
What is there left for him to do?

70
The man who is pure knows for certain
That nothing really exists;
It is all the work of illusion.
He sees what cannot be seen.
His nature is peace.

71
He does not see the world of appearances.
So what do rules matter to him,
Or dispassion, renunciation, and self-control?
His form is pure and shining light.

72
He does not see the world.
So what does he care for joy or sorrow,
Bondage or liberation?
He is infinite and shining.

73
Before the awakening of understanding
The illusion of the world prevails.
But the master is free of passion.
He has no "I,"
He has no "mine,"
And he shines!

74
He sees that the Self never suffers or dies.
So what does he care for knowledge
Or the world?
Or the feeling "I am the body,"
"The body is mine"?

75
The moment a fool gives up concentration
And his other spiritual practices,
He falls prey to fancies and desires.

76
Even after hearing the truth,
The fool clings to his folly.
He tries hard to look calm and composed,
But inside he is full of cravings.

77
When the truth is understood,
Work falls away.
Though in the eyes of others
The master may seem to work,
In reality he has no occasion
To say or to do anything.

78
He has no fear.
He is always the same.
He has nothing to lose.
For him there is no darkness,
There is no light.
There is nothing at all.

79
He has no being of his own.
His nature cannot be described.
What is patience to him,
Or discrimination or fearlessness?

80
In the eyes of the master
There is nothing at all.
There is no heaven.
There is no hell.
There is no such thing as liberation in life.
What more is there to say?

AFTERNOON

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

In one who perceives impermanence,
the perception of nonself becomes firmly established;
and one who perceives nonself
achieves the elimination of the conceit “I am”
and attains nirvana in this very life.
And in the words of the Koran:
“Everything is perishing except God’s Face.”
Elias Amidon
https://www.stillnessspeaks.com/impermanence-deeper-secret-amidon/

Attention gets its attentiveness from pure awareness,
which is who you are.
Self definition only keeps you fixated on waves
while yearning to find the deep.
The ocean has no problem with waves.”

“Never for a moment does the ocean
imagine the waves as separate from itself.
Never for a moment does the ocean
imagine its depth as separate from itself.
Never for a moment does the ocean
imagine there is any separation
between wave and depth.
Be the ocean.
https://www.stillnessspeaks.com/impermanence-deeper-secret-amidon/

Pausing in timeless awareness:
The Indian sage Nisargadatta
once advised a student who asked for guidance,
“Go back! Go back!”
Go back to the place where you begin, right now,
the place of spacious awareness
that hosts all the phenomena you experience.
It is a simple move,
although nothing really moves.

Just open up to the clearing you already are
and pause there for a moment or two.
When you do that your whole life is refreshed.
More re: THE JOY OF PAUSING here:
https://sufiway.org/teaching/notes-from-the-open-path/14-teachings/142-the-joy-of-pausing

There is no beauty more real
than the goodness one sees in someone.
Plotinus
https://sufiway.org/teaching/notes-from-the-open-path/14-teachings/181-beauty-will-save-the-world

Beauty will save the world.
Dostoevsky
https://sufiway.org/teaching/notes-from-the-open-path/14-teachings/181-beauty-will-save-the-world

And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.

It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes
and a song you hear though you shut your ears.

It is not the sap within the furrowed bark,
nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden for ever in bloom
and a flock of angels for ever in flight.

People of Orphalese,
beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
Kahlil Gibran
Excerpt from BEAUTY
The Prophet
http://www.katsandogz.com/onbeauty.html

We usually do not look
into what is really there in front of us.
We see life through a screen of thoughts and concepts,
and we mistake those mental objects for reality.
We get so caught up in
this endless thought-stream
that reality flows by unnoticed.

We spend our time engrossed in activity,
caught up in an eternal flight
from pain and unpleasantness.
We spend our energies
trying to make ourselves better,
trying to bury our fears.

We are endlessly seeking security.
Meanwhile,
the world of real experience flows by
untouched and unnoticed...

“A strange loneliness
and an unchildish sorrow.”

“There are a few souls in the world
who seem as if they do not belong here,
but had strayed
from just round the corner
while they were on the way
to another planet or world.”
¥
Kahlil Gibran

a Thought of You Rarefies the air that Breathes me
your Touch brings me Home

There is a wildness deep within
an Echo of God
O Breath that Breathes me
fan this flame!

Love’s Quiet Hears your Deep Longing
and gently Whispers:
“I Am Here”

Today
you Awakened unimagined shyness
and became my
Pearl of Great Price

Be what you Know
without words

Silent Love Thunders Souls

If you can Hear
you already Know
and
words no longer exist

From the Word
Pondered and Held
in the Quiet Virginal Heart
Emerges only Love

Remain Steadfastly Cocooned in the Almighty Presence
Speaking, Moving and Breathing
only because
Divinity Provides the Expression

the Quiet that takes you Beyond thought
word and awareness…
Is Sufficient

Speechless Words and Wordless Speech Suffice

AFTERNOON

Silence is the sister of the divine.
Silence is a great friend of the soul;
it unveils the riches of solitude.
It is difficult to reach
that quality of inner silence.
But if you trust in your own solitude
everything will be revealed to you,
as silence discloses the hidden depths.

AFTERNOON

The heart of man is very much like the sea,
it has its storms,
it has its tides and in its depths
it has its pearls too.
― Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise
and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths
would be revealed to your eyes.

But 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.

Say not, “I have found the truth,”
but rather, “I have found a truth.”
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.”
Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”

For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line,
neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself,
like a lotus of countless petals.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

I am the glorious sun, the ocean laden with pearls.
Within my heart is the grandeur of heaven.

12:52 AM-9/24/18

Wu Hsin advises that one must narrow the attention.
The body is an inert egg,
infused with the Conscious Life Energy.
That which cared for its every need while enwombed, continues to do so today.
What causes one to believe
that the care ceased
with the exit from the womb?
Wu Hsin

The constant drive toward changing,
toward improving or becoming must end.
In its place,
must be the yearning for
That which never changes.
Only after thoughts arise
does the world come into being.

The mirage does not disappear
even after knowing it to be a mirage.
Individuals expecting great changes
will likely meet with disappointment.
Rather than focusing on what needs changing,
turn the attention to what cannot change.
Solving Yourself: Yuben de Wu Hsin

Only that which has been created
needs to be maintained in order to avoid destruction.

Ego is such a maintenance-driven creation.
Therefore, all efforts to be rid of ego
merely reinforce the sense of identification with it,
thus maintaining it.
Just stop.
You can always re-start.

Stop what you are doing and stop what you are not doing.
Now see what remains.
Solving Yourself: Yuben de Wu Hsin

AFTERNOON

Care for a weary heart

In the realms you find yourself now,
you need not worry about words and understanding concepts.
Honor a long journey of becoming
and that ancient tiredness
that we feel along the way.

Rest.
Slow way down.
Pause.
Remember what is most important.

Tend to an exhausted nervous system.
Care for a weary heart.

Receive.
Nourish.
For there is another language
attempting to make its way known.

There is writing weaved within you
that is not composed of ordinary symbols.
Unfolding letters of dark and of light,
washing through the inner pathways
and cleansing them
with the water of life.

Listen.
Feel.
See with new eyes.
Open the senses.
Revision.
Reimagine.
Bear witness
to what is emerging from
the womb of now.

This longing,
this burning,
this tenderness,
once seen as mistakes or errors to be remedied,
pathologized and shamed away…
these are your only scriptures now.
Filled with wisdom-essence
and guidance
for the journey ahead.
Matt Licata
http://alovinghealingspace.blogspot.com/2018/09/care-for-weary-heart.html

Observe the wonders as they occur around you.
Don't claim them.
Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.
― Kahlil Gibran

Many of us spend our whole lives
running from feeling with the mistaken belief
that you can not bear the pain.
But you have already borne the pain.
What you have not done
is feel all you are
beyond that pain.
― Kahlil Gibran

The feeling of remaining young forever
is attained in nothing else
other than silence,
the blossoming of Truth.

For what is it to die
but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is it to cease breathing
but to free the breath from its restless tides,
that it may rise and expand
and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence
shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountaintop,
then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs,
then shall you truly dance.

Supposed to be without.

It is not attention to lack of wellness that makes you sick.
It is attention to the lack of many things…
Chronic attention to unwanted things
holds you in a place of disallowing
your physical well-being,
as well as disallowing the solutions
to other things you are focused upon.

If you would focus your attention upon the experience of physical well-being
as much as you focus upon the absence of it,
not only would your recovery come quickly,
but maintaining
your physical well-being and balance
would also be easy.

3:42 AM-6/14/18

At dawn, I worship the true Self
that is beyond the reach of mind and speech,
By whose grace, speech is even made possible,
This Self is described in the scriptures as “Not this, Not this”.
It is called the God of the Gods,
It is unborn, undying, one with the All.
Adi Shankara around the 8th century
https://www.scienceandnonduality.com/in-the-morning-i-remember/

“I ask the mind to travel back,
through the word,
to the source of the word,
the sound,
and find out how the sound is born.”

The source can only be experienced,
the source can only be perceived and understood,
but never defined and described.
That is how the mind becomes silent.
Translation & Commentary by Vimala Thakar
(Hunger Mountain, MA – October, 1972)
https://www.scienceandnonduality.com/in-the-morning-i-remember/

To go in the dark with
a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark.
Go without sight, and find
that the dark, too, blooms
and sings, and is traveled by
dark feet and dark wings.
~Wendell Berry
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2018/06/14/27551/

I have been and still am a seeker,

THE LAW THAT MARRIES ALL THINGS
1.
The cloud is free only
to go with the wind.
The rain is free
only in falling.
The water is free only
in its gathering together,
in its downward courses,
in its rising into the air.

2.
In law is rest
if you love the law,
if you enter, singing, into it
as water in its descent.

3.
Or song is truest law,
and you must enter singing;
it has no other entrance.
It is the great chorus
of parts. The only outlawry
is in division.

4.
Whatever is singing
is found, awaiting the return
of whatever is lost.

5.
Meet us in the air
over the water,
sing the swallows.
Meet me, meet me,
the redbird sings,
here here here here.
— Wendell Berry
from “Collected Poems, 1957-1982”

(see comments after next photo)

It’s not that the Tao (Way) is whatever you want it to be,
but rather the true Tao cannot be defined,
only lived out in freedom.
In this poem, (THE LAW THAT MARRIES ALL THINGS)
Berry strikes me as clearly Confucian, in that he finds freedom in the law — freedom to be and to become who we are.
But there is a Taoist spirit there too, it seems to me,
in the poem’s lightness of spirit.
Perhaps it’s important to remember
that both great Chinese traditions seek the same goal:
harmony.
With that in mind, it may be the case that
Confucianism is the heavy, masculine yang,
and Taoism is the light, feminine yin
— and both are necessary, one stronger than the other,
depending on the context.
Rod Dreher

The control of the activity of mind is called concentration in the language of the mystics.
The meaning of this word is often not rightly understood.
People are apt to think that concentration means only closing the eyes.
But one may close one's eyes for hours,
and still the thoughts keep coming like a moving picture.

People are never at rest, never at peace;
anxiety and sorrow do not disappear just because they close their eyes.

It is concentration that does that.
Concentration is activity of mind in the direction desired;
our desire dictates in which way the mind is to be active;
the mind acts according to our wishes.

THE GRACE OF EVERSHINING’S OVERFLOW
<
EFFORTLESS EASE IN ALL DIMENSIONS
ew
2:59 AM-12/9/17

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

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

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

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

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

It is wise to look precisely at where we're afraid and at what we're afraid of. It's wise to look precisely at those things we might feel inadequate to handle. These are our hidden corners. And it is to our hidden corners that we typically relegate our fears and our perceived neediness. In what circumstances would who I am now not be enough? What is the belief in my own inadequacy in facing down these fears?

Breathing in, we fortify our courage.
Breathing out, we release our fears.
Breathing in, we strengthen our intention. Breathing out, we open to the way it is.

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

Once I filled my hand with mist.
Then I opened it and lo, the mist was a worm.
And I closed and opened my hand again, and behold there was a bird.
And again I closed and opened my hand, and in its hollow stood a man with a sad face, turned upward.
And again I closed my hand, and when I opened it there was naught but mist.
But I heard a song of exceeding sweetness.

As dying exists nowhere, it is absolutely unreal.
Tulku Thondup
Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth: A Tibetan Buddhist Guidebook

Things go on in our psyches when we let creativity through that challenges our everyday control of things
or that challenge our culture's definitions
of what appropriate behavior might be.
Part of standing up to fear of death, fear of guilt,
fear of aloneness, fear of joy, and fear of life
is standing up to take in the wild.

Whatever the cost.
I can also resist the temptation to domesticate.
When we domesticate self, God, or other beings,
we are defanging them, emasculating them,
removing the wild from them.
This is not a good spiritual practice.
There must be some wildness left in our lives.

Foolishness and wisdom go together, after all,
and folly is a certain response to wildness.
To follow one's imagination is often an act of folly,
a wild act deserving of Spirit's presence.

For Spirit itself is wild, very, very wild.
We are transmitters of Spirit.
Spirit and we create together.
We must trust Spirit.
We must trust the wild again.
~Matthew Fox
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2017/08/06/24573/

We must become ignorant
Of all we've been taught,
And be, instead, bewildered.
Run from what's profitable and comfortable
If you drink those liqueurs, you'll spill
The spring water of your real life.
Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.
I have tried prudent planning
Long enough, from now
On, I'll live mad.
~Rumi

For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face
and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun,
and I wanted my masks no more.
And as if in a trance I cried,
“Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks.”
Thus I became a madman.

Imagine you have two bottles filled with perfume: as receptacles they are separate, but the fragrances that escape from them rise up do not remain separate for very long and they mix. What is the purpose of this imagery? Well, human beings can be compared to bottles of perfume, in that their bodies are separate but with their thoughts and feelings they are able to meet with other human beings and even with entities from the invisible world. Only, we do not meet with anyone we want; we can only reach the souls and spirits in the visible and invisible worlds that correspond to what we ourselves are, because it is just a phenomenon of resonance that is at work here. The purpose, therefore, of prayer, meditation and all spiritual exercises is that they help us elevate our inner self and as we do so, by the power of affinity, we meet with ever purer and ever more luminous spirits.

The world of men has forgotten the joys of silence, the peace of solitude which is necessary, to some extent, for the fullness of human living.

Not all men are called to be hermits, but all men need enough silence and solitude in their lives to enable the deep inner voice of their own true self to be heard at least occasionally.
When that inner voice is not heard,
when man cannot attain to the spiritual peace that comes from being perfectly at one with his own true self,
his life is always miserable and exhausting.

For he cannot go on happily for long unless he is in contact with the springs of spiritual life which are hidden in the depths of his own soul.
If man is constantly exiled from his own home, locked out of his own spiritual solitude, he ceases to be a true person.
He no longer lives as a man.
He becomes a kind of automaton,
living without joy because he has lost his spontaneity.
He is no longer moved from within, but only from outside himself.

The magic of emotion
Matt Licata

As open, sensitive human beings,
we may never be able to avoid the experience of emotional pain.
This fact is not evidence that there is something wrong with us,
but that we are alive.

Welcome.
You are alive.
Thank god you have a body and a heart and a mind which allow you to feel,
and to make meaning of your feelings,
and use them skillfully as a bridge to connect with others.
Let us end the pathologizing of emotion once and for all,
instead proclaiming together the holiness of feeling.

Sometimes it is as if our hearts are on the outside of our skin, 'rather than safely protected by the rib cage,
hidden away in some fantasy of invincibility.
Even the wind blowing,
as it makes contact with the raw, tender, exposed flesh
is enough to take us to the ground.

As we somehow take the risk of opening more,
we might see that emotional vulnerability
is in fact the only response that makes any sort of sense in a world
that has gone a bit mad.
In this way, we can re-contextualize and re-enchant our emotional experience, breathe new life into it and behold its sacredness.
It is magic to be an emotional being,
and we need no longer apologize for this.

Emotional pain has been pathologized in our world,
along with vulnerability, heartbreak, grief,
and any sort of state of feeling a bit down.
We doubt ourselves and question our very being,
afraid to trust in the purity and integrity
of our experience exactly as it is.

But emotional pain is not pathology.
Grief is not a condition to be diagnosed and treated.
Feeling down and blue and a bit hopeless is not a disease
which need be cured by consumption,
whether that consumption is of material goods or new inner states.
A broken heart is pure and is complete on its own,
filled with intelligence, life, and seeds of creativity and expression.
It need not be mended or transformed into something else.
It is the vehicle by which the poetry of your life may flow
and your unique individuality may come alive here.

To stay embodied with waves of grief, confusion, rage, fear, despondency, exhaustion, hopelessness, and doubt … to provide sanctuary and safe passage for the pieces of a broken world … to dissolve once and for all the trance of self-abandonment … this invitation is one that is radical and nonconventional by its nature, appearing now for your consideration.

To infuse the entire spectrum with breath, with life, with awareness, and with holding will liberate an eruption of skillful energy,
and help us to make meaning, to bear the unbearable,
and truly be there for others when they are suffering.
And to be warriors in the world at those times we are needed most.

How often have you sailed in my dreams?
And now you come in my awakening,
which is my deeper dream.

On Good and Evil
Kahlil Gibran

Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts
it drinks even of dead waters.

You are good when you are one with yourself.
Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.
For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house.
And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles
yet sink not to the bottom.

You are good when you strive to give of yourself.
Yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself.
For when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth
and sucks at her breast.
Surely the fruit cannot say to the root,
"Be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance."
For to the fruit giving is a need,
as receiving is a need to the root.

You are good when you are fully awake in your speech,
Yet you are not evil when you sleep while your tongue staggers without purpose.
And even stumbling speech may strengthen a weak tongue.

You are good when you walk to your goal firmly and with bold steps.
Yet you are not evil when you go thither limping.
Even those who limp go not backward.
But you who are strong and swift,
see that you do not limp before the lame,
deeming it kindness.

You are good in countless ways, and you are not evil when you are not good,
You are only loitering and sluggard.
Pity that the stags cannot teach swiftness to the turtles.

AFTERNOON

In your longing for your giant self lies your goodness:
and that longing is in all of you.
But in some of you that longing is a torrent rushing with might to the sea,
carrying the secrets of the hillsides and the songs of the forest.
And in others it is a flat stream that loses itself
in angles and bends
and lingers before it reaches the shore.

But let not him who longs much say to him who longs little,
"Wherefore are you slow and halting?"
For the truly good ask not the naked,
"Where is your garment?"
nor the houseless,
"What has befallen your house?"
K. Gibran
The Prophet
http://www.katsandogz.com/ongood.html

"His power came from some great reservoir of spiritual life
else it could not have been so universal and so potent,
but the majesty and beauty of the language
with which he clothed it were all his own."

*Tao Te Ching #4
Stephen Mitchell Translation
http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/taote-v3.html#4

It may well be that when we finally get to spend time together again…
We may be beyond our limits of time and space and enjoyment.
I don’t know what to say to us...

All I know is that we don’t have to be together
to experience the love and care deep in our souls.
I know though that what is happening is that because of our choices,
we are spending our remaining days with people
that we do not necessarily love or who do not necessarily love us…
except for their need of us, as in how we make them feel,
how they would fare if we are not here
and their fear of facing the future without our presence
as the strong anchor they have always experienced us as.

We work with people who do not care…
do not understand us and do not have any longing for us…
who are strangers to our souls!

We go to dinner…
go to a movie…
or sit at home..
with people who do not lift us and people who do not make us aspire
to a deeper journey but who cause us
always in tempter form to become harder, less caring, more protective
and who in the end contribute to our lonesome journey in life
and keep us away from our Tuscany or from anything that is real,
either felt or imagined.

All I know is that when we only have a few days left to live.. or a few hours…
that we will not be longing for a touch from our colleagues at work...
or the tempters in our lives...
or the ones who have always envied us
and fought us and belittled us…

When that time comes…
we will long for the touch of a hand that knows who we are...
for someone to sit on the bed with us and talk to us in silence...
for someone to gaze upon us without condemnation of any kind
but with eyes of love and hearts of understanding….
We will want someone to be with us who understands our journey …
of the paths we took and the reason we stayed on the debilitating road
we were on for so long...
These are the things we will want and long for…

The question is….
Will we have the time to do this for each other?
Will be even have the sense or the urgent push
to make it to each other where we can ease the burden
and smooth the creases of life
from the foreheads of the friends we hold dear?…

All I know is….
We do not know when the urgency will be upon us
and when we will have reached the point of no return
when we do not have enough time
to wrap our hearts together and recognize each other’s breath…

We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Even while the earth sleeps we travel.

We are the seeds of the tenacious plant,
and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart
that we are
given to the wind and are scattered.
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet
Chapter: The Farewell

You listen to so much more than I can say.
You hear consciousness.
You go with me where the words I say can't carry you.
Kahlil Gibran

(Gibran's words quoted from Mary Haskell's journal dated 5th June 1924)
http://gibrankahlil.blogspot.com/2007/12/kahlil-gibran-love-letters.html

A strange loneliness and an unchildish sorrow.
Kahlil Gibran*

There are a few souls in the world
who seem as if they do not belong here,
but had strayed from just round the corner
while they were on the way
to another planet or world.
Kahlil Gibran*

*Quoted in GODSEED: The Alchemy of Primordial Memory
Dorothea M. Mills/ew

Yoga as a process, method, technology and science
is essentially to break the limitations of a certain concretization
that happens which we call “personality.”

To evolve from being a person to a presence.

If you are a person, that means you have made a shell out of yourself.
You formed a shell, within that shell only you can operate.
If you break this shell, you will no more be a person
but simply a presence – as life is, as God is, just a presence.
If it can be encased in a shell, it becomes a person.
Yoga means you are slowly working on making the shell thinner and thinner,
more and more porous,
that one day you can exist without a shell.

There is a voice in us all that is ever present,
a voice that always sings its melody to the world.
This is a voice of truth and certainty,
the voice that lays bare the hidden mysteries of the soul.
Jonathan Star, Rumi – In the Arms of the Beloved.

There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen
Rumi

She who is centered in the Tao
can go where she wishes, without danger.
She perceives the universal harmony,
even amid great pain,
because she has found peace in her heart.

Music or the smell of good cooking
may make people stop and enjoy.
But words that point to the Tao
seem monotonous and without flavor.
When you look for it, there is nothing to see.
When you listen for it, there is nothing to hear.
When you use it, it is inexhaustible.
Tao Te Ching #35
Translation by Stephen Mitchell.
DailyTao.org displays a new chapter of the Tao Te Ching everyday,

I am free from the claims of tribes, nationalities, and races.
I am a boundless being;
an eternal child of the cosmos

We are in the process of a massive planetary cleansing and clearing
of remnants of old dreams.
There are steps our Lightfamily can take
to benefit from this purging on a personal level.
Most importantly, realize that the proportion of what is expressed by our environment as density, is disproportionate.
Ideally it should consist of 90% expressing in harmony with Infinite grace,
and only 10% of what is distorted.

 The purging has the purpose of reducing the percentage of density.

But it is largely the lightbearers of the planet who are to blame
for keeping obsolete programs in place:
they have wanted to save, redeem and be charitable and forgiving — keeping the obsolete in place after it has completed its purpose.

This creates discordant tones and suffering on Earth.

The way to assist the passage of the obsolete back into Infinite Beingness,
is to withdraw our energy and attention from it.

This applies to any old dreams of suffering in your past as well.
If it doesn’t inspire,
withdraw your focus and attention from it
and it shall cease to exist in your reality.
Almine

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet
and the winds long to play with your hair.

All remaining quotes from
Sadhguru

Yoga is a huge love affair.
It is a process of including every form and dimension of life.

When we say “yoga,” for most people it probably means twisting the body into impossible postures.
That’s not what yoga is about.

Asanas are a very preparatory step, but unfortunately they are being propagated as the whole of yoga. Yoga means to be in perfect tune. Your body, mind and spirit and the existence are in absolute harmony. When you fine-tune yourself to a point where everything functions so beautifully within you, the best of your abilities will naturally flow out of you.

Have you noticed, just a little happiness can liberate you from your usual limitations of energy and capability. When you are happy, your energies always function better. You seem to have endless energy. It doesn’t matter even if you do not eat or sleep, you can go on and on. If a little happiness can do this to you, imagine if your body and mind were functioning in a completely different state of relaxation and a certain level of blissfulness. You would be released from so many things that most people suffer from.

Religion as a way of life and an attitude of fundamental reverence
is the only ground on which our humanity can stand and thrive-

-not religion as a defensive structure of anxious beliefs,
but religion as an open heart capable of allowing life to unfold
and strong enough to support a radical philosophy of love.
