EFFORTLESS EASE EVERSHINING "...an organic pace." Sunrise/Afternoon Dec 9, 2017

12/9/2017

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.

When the human heart becomes conscious of God
it turns into the sea and it spreads;
it extends the waves of its love to friend and foe.
Spreading further and further
it attains perfection.
Hazrat Kahn

from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIV/XIV_2_15.htm

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.

CLEARANCE OF EXCESS "...voice of God" "...soul sadness..." Sunrise/Afternoon Nov. 30, 2017

CLEARANCE OF EXCESS IN PHYSICAL
RELIEVES BURDENED LAYERS CLOSE TO SOUL
THAT HAVE BECOME CHAOTIC CACOPHONY
OBLITERATING THE
SILENCE OF ORIGINAL DIVINITY
ew
1:57 AM-11/30/17

Silence is the essential condition
that allows us to hear the true word,
true revelations.

In silence,
little by little you feel the messages
from the spiritual world reach you,
a voice seeks to warn you,
to give you advice,
to guide you,
to protect you...

You might say that you don’t hear this voice.
It is because you are making too much noise,
not only on the physical level,
but also on the astral and mental levels:
there are so many chaotic feelings and thoughts
that constantly clash within you.

This voice that speaks to you is called
‘the voice of silence’,
and it even appears as the title
of certain books of oriental wisdom.

When the yogi* manages to calm everything
within themself and to stop the flow of their thoughts
– because in its movement, thought also creates noise –
they then hear this voice of silence
which is the very voice of God.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

*yogi
To be a yogi means to live without the coffins
that people build around themselves.
Yoga means union.
It means you have breached the boundaries of the physical
and have the ability to touch and experience
everything in the universe.
Unless a human being acquires this quality,
they are somehow trying to hide from life.

AFTERNOON.....

Heaven and Earth are without bias,
Treating the Ten Thousand Things
As precious meaningless straw dogs.

The sage lives without bias,
Regarding humankind
as precious straw dogs.

The space between Heaven and Earth
is like a bellows…
Empty and yet, providing a never-ending supply
of words and meaning,
exhausting itself.

Better to chose moderation
and pay attention to the Silence within.

No matter what the issue is,
don’t try to justify why you don’t feel good.
And don’t try to justify why you should feel differently.
Don’t try to blame whatever it is
you think the reason is
that’s keeping you from feeling good.
All of that is wasted effort.
Just try to feel better right now.

When we assume a belief is truth,
there is no room for other possibilities,
for new information, for a larger perspective.
Pausing and questioning our belief can begin to open the windows of our mind to the fresh air of reality.
When I investigate how believing
"something is wrong with me" affects my life,
I can sense how it blocks me from feeling loving and loved. This often brings up what I call "soul sadness,"
a tenderness that is full of compassion.
In these moments I am living in a presence
that is not confined by my belief.
~Tara Brach
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2017/11/29/26566/

The invitation is to withdraw the projection of our own worth from others
and locate it inside ourselves.
This withdrawal is a great act of kindness,
both for ourselves and the world.
And also for them.
For it is by way of this disentangling
that we can love ourselves, and others,
and act from the radical force of true compassion,
not merely re-enact the old pathways of self-abandonment.

Quotes below in this color font from
Sadhguru

Only people who are deprived of love imagine that God is love.
Love is a human emotion.

 AFTERNOON..................................

Love is not what you do.
Love is the way you are.

Most human beings are conceited, most of the time.
For them to experience love,
they have to identify
with the one who is in front of them.

Love as many think
is not just an emotion
But a rail that guides
Our thought and emotion
from the barrenness of
exclusion to the harvest
of inclusive existence.
Love is not just a bond
But a balloon that buoys
you to the borders of Boundlessness.

Rupture and repair
Matt Licata

It is no secret that, for many, intimate relationship is one of the great amplifiers of the unlived life. We can count on our partners to relentlessly illuminate everything that is unresolved within us. Not because they have some agenda to do so, but simply by the nature of the crucible that is formed when we allow another to truly matter to us.

We come to our relationships with an already-existing patterning that formed long ago. While this template longs to be updated, until reconfiguration it looms over us and colors our perception. It functions by way of a time machine where, when activated, it is as if we have left the “here and now,” crossed the liminal, and found ourselves back in the “there and then.”

There are aspects of ourselves that are aching to come out of the shadows and into the warmth of holding awareness. Not to harm, but as emissaries of wholeness. There is nothing like a close relationship to remind us of the orphaned feelings and vulnerable parts that have lost their way in the tangle of somatic and psychic pathways. They are exhausted from a long voyage to reach us, but have not given up.

The reminder of this truth can at times be a bit agonizing, as the other seems to have extraordinary powers to open the raw, tender, and naked dimensions of our being. But this achiness is sacred. Inside the ache is a jewel. Go there.

Please be kind to your partners and the inevitable conflict that will arise as you make this journey together. Training ourselves to harness the energy of conflict – and engage it directly, skillfully, and with an open heart – is the activity of inner and outer revolution, and requires the encoding of new circuitry.

The transformative art of rupture and repair is one that is endlessly profound, revealing that relationships of vast depth and meaning are not those free of conflict, but ones where working through conflict is embraced as path, where the participants are transformed into an alive vessel of purification, love, and healing.

This is a difficult realization to come by, and one that is unfortunately not all that popular in a world that has forgotten the gold buried in the dark. But here we are. It is up to us to bring these fruits into the collective.

From Bill Martin

August 5
When we forget our true nature,
we depend on the rules of others
and become their willing slaves.
From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 72

Leading and ruling are easy to confuse.
The leader who needs obedience
is a ruler, a monarch,
who imposes laws and regulations.
This regulation creates a sense of safety
in the minds of the ruled,
so they willingly abandon
their own wild and authentic nature.
A ruler’s motives might be good,
but the spirit of the ruled
can’t help but be diminished.
A leader kindles the people’s spirits
and helps them express and fulfill
their own destiny.

Anarchy is a fearful thing.
We have been taught for so many generations
to be afraid of our true nature,
that we can’t imagine ever trusting it.
This fear of self is what makes us so vulnerable
to the agendas of power-seeking people.
It is also what keeps us trapped in a paradigm of society that no longer works.
Lao-Tzu was essentially a “cooperative anarchist”
- one who believed that human beings were intrinsically capable of directing their own community life without the need for structured authority.
It seems utopian and fanciful to us today,
and it seemed so in Lao-Tzu’s day as well.
Yet his words still resonate more than two millennia later.
They vibrate a string deep within the human spirit
that sings to us and tells us that we have lost our way;
that we have surrendered something precious in the name of comfort and safety.
Can we find it and reclaim it?
I think we can,
because our current paradigm is collapsing and
our authentic nature is patiently waiting to assist us.
Bill Martin
www.taoistliving.com

72
When they lose their sense of awe,
people turn to religion.
When they no longer trust themselves,
they begin to depend upon authority.

Therefore the Master steps back
so that people won't be confused.
He teaches without a teaching,
so that people will have nothing to learn.
Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell Translation
http://www.taoteching.org.uk/index.php?c=72&a=Stephen+Mitchell

Stephen Mitchell Commentary
for # 72 Tao Te Ching

Therefore the Master steps back:
He doesn't act as guru or messiah,
because he doesn't, want to keep people dependent on him,
and thus spiritually immature.
When people start to treat him like a holy man,
he nips their adoration in the bud
and points them to their inner messiag.

people will have nothing to learn:
They just need to unlearn.

You do not have a duty towards anyone or anything.

Sadhguru

Love has no opposite
Some will tell you that fear is the opposite of love.
And in this teaching the war begins.

But love has no opposite, for it is whole and without division.
Love is the field in which all form comes and goes,
including the temporary, wavelike appearance of fear.
It is the vast, tender space in which all emotions,
feelings, and raw sensations arise,
play in light and dark,
and then dissolve.

All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

All quotes below in this color font from Clarissa P. Estes

Having a lover/friend who regards you as a living growing criatura, being,
just as much as the tree from the ground, or a ficus in the house
or a rose garden out in the side yard...
having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity,
one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well...
a lover and friends who support the ciatura in you...
these are the people you are looking for.
They will be the friends of your soul for life.

Mindful choosing of friends and lovers,
not to mention teachers,
is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive,
remaining in charge of
the fiery light that sees and knows.
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/901977.Clarissa_Pinkola_Est_s

Be wild; that is how to clear the river.
The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that.
The river does not dry up, we block it.
If we want to allow it its freedom,
we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose,
to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing.
That is creative life.
It is made up of divine paradox.
To create one must be willing to be stone stupid,
to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass
and spill rubies from one’s mouth.
Then the river will flow,
then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With The Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman

Though her soul requires seeing,
the culture around her requires sightlessness.
Though her soul wishes to speak its truth,
she is pressured to be silent.

“A Prayer
Refuse to fall down
If you cannot refuse to fall down,
refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down,
lift your heart toward heaven,
and like a hungry beggar,
ask that it be filled.
You may be pushed down.
You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting your heart
toward heaven
only you.
It is in the middle of misery
that so much becomes clear.
The one who says nothing good
came of this,
is not yet listening.

AFTERNOON.....

I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house
before they could sit down to write...
and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning...
it never comes to an end.
Perfect way to stop a woman.

A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility
(or over-respectabilty)
to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures.
She simply must put her foot down and
say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing.
Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do
to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul.
Struggling souls catch light from other souls
who are fully lit and willing to show it.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

The things that women reclaim are often their own voice,
their own values,
their imagination,
their clairvoyance,
their stories,
their ancient memories.
If we go for the deeper, and the darker,
and the less known
we will touch the bones.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

The most important thing is to hold on,
hold out,
for your creative life,
for your solitude,
for your time to be and do,
for your very life.
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

In a culture where the predator rules,
all new life needing to be born,
all old life needing to be gone,
is unable to move and the soul-lives of its citizenry
are frozen with both fear and spiritual famine.

(ALL QUOTES ABOVE IN THIS COLOR FONT FROM
CLARISSA P. ESTES)

A Guide of Aliveness
Matt Licata

It's okay to feel down, flat, a bit numb, and to be unsure about it all.
It’s okay to forget who you are and why you have come here.
Love will take infinite forms,
even those of confusion, uncertainty, and forgetfulness,
as it erupts here into the world of time and space.

It's okay for your heart to break
when the forms of love dissolve around you,
for this is their nature.
Coming together and then falling apart,
only to come together and fall apart again.
Such is the dance of the great mystery as it unfolds.
The birth and crumbling of form is not evidence of error or mistake,
but of just how creative it really is here.

You need not shift your raw, tender unknowing
into some "higher" vibration,
or apply teachings so that it will transform into something else.
It need not be let go, mended, or turned from, ever again.
In the naked embrace of the life that is within you,
it will self-liberate and reveal its nature.

Your shaky, open sensitivity is complete and pure on its own.
It is a bridge of light and dark through which you can connect with life,
with the sun, the trees, the moon, and the stars.
And with the open, sometimes broken,
sometimes whole hearts
of beings everywhere.

In this way the heartbreak will be revealed to be what it is,
a hidden wisdom-guide of aliveness,
come to remind you of something you may have forgotten
in the course of a busy life,
and just how vast it is inside you.
Matt Licata

Behind the clouds of separation
Matt Licata

As long as you remain tangled
in the trance of unworthiness,
you will inevitably postpone fully being here,
and continue to place the burden of your unlived life
on those around you.

Look carefully and see how the orphaned pieces
of your body, of your heart, and of your nervous system continue to appear as your partners,
your family, your children, your friends,
and even as the colors
in an erupting summer sunset.

As you slow down and turn back
into the aliveness within you,
the invitation is to dare to see
that you were never unhealed,
that nothing is missing,
and that by infusing your immediate experience
with presence, with warmth,
and with kindness
that you can re-author the story.

AFTERNOON

You can go back into the surging feelings, emotions,
and sensations that the old narrative
has safeguarded you from, and see,
finally, once and for all,
if you still need to be protected from the raw,
naked activity of life, of love,
and what it truly means to be a sensitive,
vulnerable, awake human being.

Not after you clean up your past,
not after you feel safe all the time,
not after you heal all your wounds,
not after you find your “soulmate,”
not after you manifest great things,
not after you replace the hopelessness with hope,
and not after you find answers
to all your questions.
But now.

Honor the role that the dream characters
have played in your life until now –
the unlovable one,
the unworthy one,
the broken one,
and the failed one.

You need not go to war with these ones.
You need not send them away,
practice aggression toward them,
heal them,
or let them go.
For they will let go of you
when they are no longer needed to protect you
from the aliveness of your own heart.

To let in the implications of this is utterly exhilarating.
And completely terrifying simultaneously.
One world is ending
so that the true world may appear
from behind the clouds of separation.
Matt Licata
http://alovinghealingspace.blogspot.com/2017/07/behind-clouds-of-separation.html

July 22

The Tao is ordinary, and this is its greatness.
So ordinary, it has no market value;
So ordinary it cannot be used
to gain advantage.
From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 67
Bill Martin

It’s taken me decades to learn
that the Tao is not another step
in building a successful life.
It’s not a strategy
for amassing wealth.
It’s not a technique for gaining
enlightenment or peace of mind.
It’s not an esoteric secret
to be shared among the elite.
It’s not a discipline
that makes one into a “master.”
It’s so ordinary that a homeless man,
pushing his shopping cart along the street,
can discover it alongside the curb.
This is why we give it honor.

So, the question often confronts me:
“Why, then, should I give any thought to this thing you call the Tao?”

There is no reason that would satisfy the conditioned mind.
All I can say is that,
without it the natural flow and direction of life gets dissipated.
With it, the very essence of life
in all its odd and terrible mystery comes alive.

Happiness becomes true happiness.
Grief becomes true grief.
All the ordinary moments become suffused with underlying joy.
I become aware of being a part of the Whole
rather than apart from that Whole.

That feeling of belonging,
of being at home in life,
is ultimately more important
than any of the other promises
the conditioned mind believes are important.

There may be moments,
sometimes many moments,
when I do not like the experience;
but I am always a part of the Tao -
I belong here.

The breath will be gone at some point,
usually much sooner than we’d all like.
Breathe deeply now.
Breathing is only now.
There is no “breathing in the future.”

No matter what is happening in your life –
maybe you have lost hope,
you’re confused, your heart is broken,
or an old dream has died.
Or even if you’re experiencing some joy, some peace,
if things are going okay.
It is not an ordinary moment.
It is never ordinary inside your heart.

The only thing we know for sure
is that we will be returned to the vastness soon.
Let us not forget what is most important,
never apologize for the yearning in our hearts,
and not wait any longer to be fully here.

Let us renew the vow we once made to not abandon ourselves,
our emotions, our vulnerability, our bodies, our sensitivity.
With the sun, the moon, and the stars as our witness,
we will no longer pathologize pure feeling
and the longing that has been placed inside us.

Let us take a risk on this new day,
like a flower who cannot hold back any longer from erupting with color,
with fragrance, with life, with her song.
You are this flower.
Attune to what is truly happening here.
This world needs you now more than ever.
Please don’t forget what you are.

People on the spiritual path are people of unquenchable discontent.
It is being propagated that spirituality means contentment.
Contentment means you have contented yourself with what you have.
A spiritual person means he is unwilling to settle
for anything less than the Ultimate.

If he is miserably discontent, he becomes ugly.
If he is joyfully discontent, he is dynamic.
He is a possibility all the time.
He won’t stay in one place.

It doesn’t matter how much comfort it offers, he will not stay.
It is a longing not to stop,
not to find a nest of comfort,
not to end up in a nook that is comfortable,
but to get onto the boiling main stream and go.

AFTERNOON......................

Vulnerability and aliveness are one
Matt Licata

http://alovinghealingspace.blogspot.com/2017/07/vulnerability-and-aliveness-are-one.html

As we take the risk of opening more,
we might discover 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 experience emotion,
to dance in that holy alchemical middle
between dissociation and fusion,
where we practice intimacy with the colorful display
while not losing touch with what we are
as the vast playground
in which all feeling comes and goes.

To travel inside the core of emotion,
to explore its texture, its fragrance, its color,
its tingly felt sense …
we do not know if this miracle is unique to this star,
but we can wonder in awe
at the opportunity laid out before us.

More than anything,
we long to feel alive, to fully participate in our lives,
to no longer postpone fully being here:
to behold a sunset, to look into the eyes of our lover,
to hold our child, to fall to the ground in awe
at being given one more breath.
Before we know it, all of this will be gone,
it will vanish into the arms of the great weaver,
and this rare precious human birth will be over.

If we look carefully we might see that this longing
often comes with a condition,
though it can be very subtle.
Yes, more than anything I want to feel alive,
connected, and in intimate contact
with everything around … but only as long as it feels safe,
as long as I can take the known with me,
as long as I can know how it will all turn out,
and as long as I do not have to be too naked,
too exposed,
and too vulnerable.

But there is no aliveness without vulnerability.
In fact, they are the very same thing.
Vulnerability and aliveness are one,
co-arising together,
and weaved of the same substance.
We can’t have one without the other,
it just doesn’t seem to work like that here.
Perhaps in another world.

The aliveness you are longing for is not far.
It will not be revealed by way of an exhausting search.
It is hidden in the core of the tender,
the broken, the shaky, and the raw,
buried in a secret chamber inside you.
Go there.
Live from there.

Action on this path unfolds without effort.
Work is accomplished without strain.
Life is enjoyed without clinging.
From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 63

So much effort is wasted
when my conditioned mind is in control.
Balancing a dozen spinning plates
while herding a dozen cats
and at the same time
keeping a dozen ducks in line.
Whew!
Any fool knows that plates
are made for serving food,
not spinning.
Cats are best left to themselves
and can manage very well, thank you.
And ducks…
well, perhaps a mother duck
could manage for a second or two,
but ducks soon fly away.

I think it is the clinging that jams up the process.
It is hard to keep our attention on the task at hand
when our mind is holding on to yesterday’s work.

Wu-Wei
- - - the effortless action that seems to do itself - - -
is not a product of my conditioned mind.

It emerges from my “Original Mind,”
my “Tao Mind,” that is never separate from the flow of energy
in and through and out again.
This Mind clings to nothing and can use that energy for effective,
powerful, and passionate action;
then immediately be available
to the flow for whatever’s next,
whatever’s now.
Act … let go.
Act … let go.
Act … let go.
Always available, always renewed.

Act without doing;
work without effort.
Think of the small as large
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;
accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.

The Master never reaches for the great;
thus she achieves greatness.
When she runs into a difficulty,
she stops and gives herself to it.
She doesn't cling to her own comfort;
thus problems are no problem for her.

The rewiring of neural circuitry
Matt Licata
July 7, 2017

It takes practice to rewire neural circuitry, to re-encode pathways with empathy, attunement, and compassion.
Unfortunately, for most this foundation was not available;
there was not holding environment that could contain, dance, and play
with the magic of a little emotional being.

Intellectual understanding, while important, is not enough.
It takes action in the moment,
a new response to the eruption of dysregulating thoughts and feelings,
over time, to reorganize the nervous system and re-author a new,
more integrated narrative about who we are.

The good news is that you can begin right now,
no matter what is going on in your life.
Instead of urgently seeking relief,
become curious about the unique ways you become activated in relationship. Instead of falling into the habitual extremes of dissociation and fusion,
enter into communion with the burning,
the charged, and the claustrophobic,
unresolvable alive world of feeling.

The journey of metabolization occurs in stages, which we cannot skip.
Initially, we must train ourselves to stay
with the intensity for very short periods of time,
titrating and pendulating the overwhelming thoughts and feelings,
going back and forth testing our window of tolerance.
Slowly, we discover that even though it may feel otherwise,
we can endure this material.
Our survival is not actually being threatened.
Before we can begin to move deeper,
we must first know in an experiential way that staying with it
is not going to take us down.

Once the nervous system has the experience
that it can tolerate very small doses,
we then stay for two seconds, instead of one.
We move from merely “tolerating” to starting to contain it,
realizing it is not some enemy coming at us from the outside,
but a lost aspect of ourselves, longing to be allowed home.

Once contained, we can begin the journey of accepting it.
Not “acceptance” in that we are condoning or settling for something
– or that we “like” it or “want” it to say –
but in the sense of a fiery, compassionate willingness.
We are willing to experience what has come, finally,
for we sense that resisting what is,
this whole play of experiential avoidance,
is the root cause of nearly all our psychological suffering.

We are no longer willing to abandon ourselves.
No, I’m not going to do that any longer.
Even though it takes everything in me,
I am going to move toward my vulnerability and care for it,
re-encoding a new pathway.
Even though I will not be “perfect” at it and likely “fail” over and over again,
I will remain steadfast in my vision.

This is where the work shifts to a more heart practice,
where we aren’t as interested in clear insight and pure awareness,
safe as a witness on the sidelines,
but rather begin to explore what it would actually mean
to open our hearts to our pain.
To hold it like a mother surrounding and enveloping her baby.
This can be pretty radical and truly goes against the grain.
We start to bring kindness to the feelings,
to the parts of ourselves we had to disown at an earlier time.

It just moves on from there,
with deeper and more integrated forms of awareness,
compassion, and exploration,
traveling into the core of whatever arises and touching it with our hearts. Eventually we may even come to love our triggers,
longing to hold them and know their subtleties,
standing in awe at the opportunity to learn more about love
as it comes into form.

Depending on the degree of trauma and dysregulation,
this work if often best done within a safe (yet provocative) relational container, where we can make use of an attuned other’s calm and soothed nervous system
to help contain, hold, and integrate this material.
That’s not to say that we cannot do a lot on our own.
It is kind to allow ourselves to at times turn to another for help,
while at other times to stay contained and practice on our own.

In this way we can become vehicles of love in action,
knowing that this work we are doing is never for ourselves alone.
But is for life everywhere.

PRIMAL REPOSE

There is only one state.

When corrupted and tainted by self-identification,
It is known as an individual.

Of animated consciousness,
It is the impersonal witnessing.

When it remains in its pristine purity,
Untainted and untinted in primal repose,

Stay close to what is here now
Matt Licata

Stay close to what is here now, even if what is here is flat, numb, confused, and devoid of hope. For these are special allies of the path and able to open places inside you that happiness, peace, and clarity cannot reach.

The mystery is always alive around you, taking form as signs, symbols, and guidance for the journey ahead. But the timeline is not of the known, and is crafted in the oceans, the sun, the moon, and the stars.

Your disappointment, your despair, and the ones representing the death of old dreams: the uncommon helpers have arrived, along with the more conventional aides of joy, clarity, contentment, and hope … an extraordinary meeting is gathering, and no one is disinvited.

The shaky aliveness is all the evidence you need that you are right on track.

While the longing for resolution may burn within you, you are not broken, you are not unhealed or untransformed.
You are not a project to be fixed.

Feel the ground on this new day.
Lay your hands on your heart.
Breathe deeply from your lower belly.
Open your senses and listen carefully to the invitation
as it arrives in a thundering silence:
today may not be a day for answers
but to finally let your heart break open to the vastness of the question.
Matt Licata
http://alovinghealingspace.blogspot.com/2017/07/stay-close-to-what-is-here-now.html

I am not old…she said
I am rare.
I am the standing ovation
At the end of the play.
I am the retrospective
Of my life as art
I am the hours
Connected like dots
Into good sense
I am the fullness
Of existing.
You think I am waiting to die…
But I am waiting to be found
I am a treasure.
I am a map.
And these wrinkles are
Imprints of my journey
Ask me anything.

by Samantha Reynolds

Under all the tension to being and fit in,
under all the psychological weather,
there is a place of stillness that is immune to our submitting and resisting.

When we can put down all our reasons and excuses,
it's from this inner plateau of being
that we begin to experience life directly again.

This sense of utter being doesn't come from willfulness or determination.

It comes when the bottom of our personality
nakedly touches the common center of all life.

When life-force enters us directly and moves through us completely,
our authority of being can't be denied.

SOURCED IN/OF/AS THE SILENCE OF TAO CORE

ALL IS ALWAYS WELL

SUPERSEDING WORDS & THOUGHTS
ew
2:24 AM-7/6/17

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.

July 5

The Tao is home to all who follow it;
and home as well to all who do not.
From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 62

Perhaps the difference lies
in knowing where home is.
Ignoring the flow of Tao
creates a sense of homelessness;
which, in turn, leads directly
to the fear
which fuels the violence,
which tears our world apart.
It happens inside of me as well.
When I feel at home, my spirit rests.
When I lose that sense of home,
all the violence of the outer world
plays out within my inner world,
and my spirit suffers.

The Tao is home to all, but not all feel at home in the Tao.
In a similar way The Earth is home to all, but not all feel at home on Earth.
Without that sense of “home,”
our fear convinces us that our only recourse
is to subdue that which makes us afraid.

We attempt to create our sense of home
by eliminating all that is uncomfortable, different, and foreign;
anything or anyone that might pose a threat to our safety, comfort, and desires.

We still live within the Tao, but we do not truly feel at home;
cannot actually sense that we belong.
But the truth is that we are always and ever at home and can never be away.
If we allow that truth to form the basis of our inner world,
our lives and our outer world will find peace at last.

The purity of form
Matt Licata

While it is perfectly natural to prefer silence over noise,
oneness over multiplicity, and harmony over chaos,
actuality appears to not share this bias.
A star appears to not share this same view.

The natural world and energies inherent in the human spirit are creative, destructive, alive, and full-spectrum.
Love is equally prepared to make use of the noisy, the multiple, the dual, and the confused to seed the relative with its qualities.
To come at times as uncontaminated dualistic rage, bewilderment,
and disordered wildness,
so that form can come into being.

The unfolding of form is not always the expression of a clean, nondual view: untainted, invincible, and safe from reorganization, deflation, and the exposure of pure human vulnerability in all its dimensions.
At times,
the articulation is of a messy untamed ragingly empowered union
of ascendant and descendent currents,
heaven and earth,
sun and the moon.

It is common to have a dualistic understanding of “nonduality,”
where it has become synonymous with silence, stillness, clarity,
and transcendence, in a subtle war with confusion, activity, and the chaotic purity of emotion, imagination, the body, and the heart.
Implied is the unexamined belief that the formless is more pure than form,
spirit is more pure than matter,
and silence is more pure than noise.
But this is not nonduality.
This is fear.
It is not possible for there to be division in that which is nondual.

Let us reclaim the essence of nonduality
by seeing that it is not opposed to duality,
would never be at war with it,
and end the dream of a conceptual spirituality.
Let us re-enchant nonduality and infuse it with life,
holding it loosely in one moment and discarding it the next,
staying with the magic of now
as it erupts in and as our lives as they are.

As we cultivate the courage to travel inside the opposites,
hold the tension in balance,
and compassionately confront the entirety of what we are,
the inseparability of form and formless will be laid bare.
The curtain will come down behind the Wizard of separation
and the purity of the human form will be revealed.

OPPOSITES
ew
5:50 AM-7/3/17

In the core of the contradictions
Matt Licata

At some point, how you thought it was all going to turn out
will crumble away into dust.
The gates to deflation will open and all that remains is you raw, burning heart.

It is the nature of form to take birth, to dance, to play,
and then to fall back into the unknown.
This is not some sort of cosmic error, but the way of things – creative, intelligent, and a reflection of universal flow.

Relationships, work, family, friends, our health … ideas about ourselves, others, and the world.
What we thought would provide ongoing meaning and purpose.
Reorganizing before us, longing to be re-authored in more integrated, cohesive, and compassionate ways.

Even what we were so sure about just a few days ago
– the great realizations, discoveries, and insights about who we are, what is most true, what will provide lasting peace … no longer quite as convincing.
The shakiness has returned.

A dream has vanished and has not yet been replaced by new vision.
But inside the shards of the broken world, pure life awaits.

All form must end, departing through a portal into the darkness,
so that new forms may emerge from the crucible of clear space.
But what is emerging in the womb of Now is not knowable ahead of time,
and is not subject to our hopes, fears, or fantasies of control.
While the mind will struggle with the wrathful nature of this truth, the heart knows … the body knows.

See that the death of form is filled with erupting particles of life,
with magic, and with the fragrance of the holy.

You can relax into the very center of the death-rebirth journey,
and rest inside the core of the contradictions.

Here, the chaos and the glory are one.

There is nothing more alive than that.

There is nothing more sacred than that.
There is nothing safer than that.

When my fear occupies itself in the endless rehearsal

of how to respond or not,
it prevents me from showing up with who I am.
I’m learning to trust that I can meet these situations simply with my being,

It might be awkward.
But I’m learning to trust that if I’m integral,

You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt,
and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages
and the sacred creative force of All that is,
will be and ever was.
― Anthon St. Maarten

True beauty is a ray
That springs from the sacred depths of the soul,
and illuminates the body, just as life
springs from the kernel of a stone and
gives colour and scent to a flower.
Jalaluddin Rumi

SOOTHING REALITY OF TAO "Stay silent." Sunrise/Afternoon June 14, 2017

SOOTHING REALITY OF TAO
IS ALL
<
SOUL PLEASING VIBRATIONS

3:17 AM-6/14/17

From Bill Martin
June 13

Stay silent.
Stop listening to trivia.
Stop taking offense.
Stop over-thinking.
From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 56

Silence is an inside job.
The stillest morning in the forest
is filled with rustles, chirps, and whispers.
The refrigerator drones in the quiet.
The fabric in my pants swishes against itself
as I walk up the hallway.
Life is not a quiet experience,
but the mind can be the still point
about which it all turns.
This still point cannot be found
through words, thoughts, or information.
It waits for all of these to fade away.

I had a tooth pulled yesterday
and spent the afternoon in considerable discomfort.
The dentist supplied me with a few codeine-laced pills that I decided to use.
They indeed helped ease the pain,
but the pain relief is not what makes them dangerously addictive.
My racing thoughts settled down and my mind became sweetly quiet,
like a still pond on a breezeless day.

We accuse addicts of looking for a “high,”
but it is the stillness that would hook me.
The engine of my culture depends on the fuel of noisy minds.
That is the reason trivia, fear, and conflict fill every media source from entertainment to sports to politics.
I can’t depend on little white pills
so Lao-Tzu’s advice in chapter 56
becomes a foundation stone for my practice.

 AFTERNOON ........

A Devastating Ally on the Path
Matt Licata

The next time you feel abandoned, feel it fully.
Let it all the way in this time.
Not the story of abandonment,
but the raw sensations
that have been longing for your holding.

Embrace the shakiness, the brokenness, and the raw life
that is moving through you.
Don’t turn away, not this time.
For you need yourself now more than ever.

There is a portal inside the abandoned one,
buried in her heart, her body,
and in the core of the emptiness.
There is gold there,
but it is hidden and requires new perception to unearth.

In the willingness to bring breath
and to flood the feelings with the warmth of your presence,
you will discover that which has never been abandoned.
Take this one as your lover.

In the commitment to never turn from him or her again,
everything will break open,
revealing the erupting,
tender aliveness at the core.

Even abandonment, when met, allowed, contained, and held,
will reveal its purity,
and clarify its role as a sacred,
though devastating ally on the path.

"...BECOME THE FRAGRANCE." "....a wild sort of kindness." Sunrise/Afternoon June 12, 2017

“BE THE FRAGRANCE" *

ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS MANIFESTING

*Sadhguru

If you only know the beauty of the fragrance, you become a romantic.
If you know the chemistry of the fragrance, you become a scientist.
If you know the ecstasy of the fragrance, you could become a mystic.
If you become the fragrance,
you will become the very source of creation.
Sadhguru

"If you dismantle the structures of who you are
and you are completely absorbed into something,
if that something is powerful enough,
it will just imprint upon you."
Sadhguru
http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/sadhguru/spot/that-quality-will-become-you/

Devotion is that kind of thing.
If you dismantle the structures of who you
are and you are completely absorbed into something,
if that something is powerful enough,
it will just imprint upon you.
That is the idea of devotion, that you become that.
It is not about being devoted to somebody or something;
it is just that it is the highest level of perception.
You can imprint yourself with what you are seeking
because you opened yourself up completely.
http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/sadhguru/spot/that-quality-will-become-you/

You can’t take this life anywhere.
You have to allow it to go into its full blossom
now, here, not somewhere else.

Do not try to save the fragrance of life.
Those who save will stink.
Those who throw it out,
you will see them as fragrant beings.

AFTERNOON.......

With your heart open,
look carefully at the ways you habitually place others’ needs over your own…
not out of genuine compassion for them,
but as a re-enactment of an early environment
of shame and unworthiness.

Just one moment of clear seeing.
Pure curiosity.
No judgment, no self-attack, no more violence.
End the war.
Now.

It is in this seeing that seeds are planted for a new way,
one encoded with wisdom,
attunement, and
a wild sort of kindness.
This encoding is not passive,
but one that shatters the status quo
as a forerunner of revolution.

Out of these qualities,
which are not added to you,
but revealed to be the always already
substance of your very cell tissue,
the seemingly solid distinction between self and other
will reveal itself to be quite translucent.

Like a rainbow.

AFTERNOON.....................

The Raw Materials of Resurrection
Matt Licata

There was an idea that as you healed, you would feel less. That as you awakened, the emotional spectrum would narrow, into some safe, consistent, happy, resolved calm.
But you are seeing that love continues
to ask you to feel more,
to hold and metabolize the full-spectrum
of a broken open world.

There was an old hope that as your heart opened,
the vulnerability would diminish,
the shakiness would fall away,
the tenderness would yield…
but you are more raw now than ever before.

There was an old belief that as you deepened
on the path that you'd be more detached, untouchable,
not care so much about others and the world,
resting as the great “witness” beyond it all,
in some safe, constructed place of observation.
But somehow,
everything and everyone matter now
more than ever,
in spontaneous, unexpected ways.

Something new is being born inside you,
but something else is dying.
Rather than prematurely forcing rebirth to emerge,
turn into the uncertainty, the contradictions,
and the purity of the death of an old dream.
For it is here that the womb of new life is to be found,
where the raw materials of resurrection
are woven into being
by the Great Weaver herself.

While this level of trust may be disorienting
to a mind longing for resolution,
the body knows…
the heart knows.
Trust in the fires of disintegration.
And the birth that can arise
only from the ashes of that level of grace.
