You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.
Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.
Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.
Be excessively gentle with yourself.

AFTERNOON

JUST TO THE RIGHT OF SAND DUNES PATH TO BEACH

How the Day Keeps Us - John O'Donohue

No one knew the name of this day;
Born quietly from deepest night.
It hid its face in light,
Demanded nothing for itself,
opened out to offer each of us
A field of brightness that traveled ahead,
Providing in time, ground to hold our footsteps
And the light of thought to show the way.

The mind of the day draws attention;
It dwells within the silence with elegance
To create a space for all our words,
Drawing us to listen inward and outward.

We seldom notice now each day is a holy place
Where the Eucharist of the ordinary happens,
Transforming our broken fragments
into an eternal continuity that keeps us.

Somewhere in us a dignity presides
That is more gracious than the smallness
That fuels us with fear and force,
A dignity that trusts the form a day takes.

So at the end of this day, we give thanks
For being betrothed to the unknown
And for the secret work
Through which the mind of the day
And wisdom of the soul become one.

Carl Gustav Jung:
The Red Book, Liber Novus
How an existential crisis
precipitated an artistic masterpiece

*******

Despite the emotional turmoil that plagued Jung,
forcing him to resort to yoga practices
and even clinging on to the table
in order to keep himself together,
he persevered in compiling
his artistic and literary magnum opus,
knowing that the very salvation
of his own soul was at stake.
(excerpts below)

My soul spoke to me in a whisper, urgently and alarmingly: ‘Word, words, do not make too many words.
Be silent and listen:
have you recognized your madness
and do you admit it?

Have you noticed that all your foundations
are completely mired in madness?
Do you not want to recognize your madness
and welcome it in a friendly manner?
You wanted to accept everything.
So accept madness too.

Let the light of your madness shine,
and it will suddenly dawn on you.
Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared,
but instead you should give it life …

If you want to find paths,
you should also not spurn madness,
since it makes up such a great part of your nature …
Be glad that you can recognize it,
for you will thus avoid becoming its victim.

Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings
to all teachings and philosophies,
but even more to daily life,
since life itself is full of craziness
and at bottom utterly illogical.

Man strives toward reason
only so that he can make rules for himself.

Life itself has no rules.
That is its mystery and its unknown law.
What you call knowledge
is an attempt to impose
something comprehensible on life.
--C. G. Jung,
The Red Book, Liber Novus

PRIMAL REPOSE

There is only one state.
When corrupted and tainted by self-identification,
it is known as an individual.
When merely tinted by the sense of presence,
of animated consciousness,
it is the impersonal witnessing.
When it remains in its pristine purity,
untainted and untinted in primal repose,
it is
the Absolute.

Life has forced me to Remember the
Primordial “I AM”.
dmm - 1989

Friday, August 2, 2019

People are rarely aware that fire
puts them in touch with and activates primordial powers.
Nor do they understand what fire represents on the psychic plane.

We can say that on the psychic plane there are two sorts of fire:
the astral fire of lower desires,
which consumes beings,
forcing them to endure great suffering,
and the fire of spiritual aspirations,
which allows all that is pure and noble in them to shine.

How many know the astral fire of lusts and sensual passions,
which plunge them into a living hell!
With what pleasure this fire leaps upon them and devours them,
as they have everything it needs to feed on,
and soon all that is left is ashes and smoke.

Spiritual fire,
on the other hand,
seeks out those who walk the path of disinterested love,
self-denial and sacrifice.

This fire has the property of never destroying
anything of the same nature as itself.
When it enters someone,
it burns only those few impurities that remain in them.

The pure matter of their being is not consumed
and itself becomes light,
because it has
the same vibration as divine fire.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
https://www.prosveta-usa.com/astral-fire-and-spiritual-fire_2019-08-02

From Rupert Spira
https://thedawnwithin.com/song-of-the-avadhut/

I share here excerpts from an ancient text of India called ‘Song of the Avadhut’,
which has been translated by Swami Abhayananda.
Although it has been attributed to Dattatreya – most probably a legendary figure –
the author is unknown, but it is agreed
that it was written around the 9th or 10th centuries.
‘Avadhut’ means ‘liberated being’.
The song describes what it means to be spiritually liberated.
Swami Abhayananda gives here a short answer:

“Man suffers under the mistaken illusion that he is a limited and finite being, separate and distinct from other beings. … But, say the mystics, this superficial play of thoughts, memories, sense impressions, upon the screen of awareness is but a mirage.
It is the screen, the awareness itself, that is our true identity.
It is that unchanging consciousness,
the eternal witness of all movements
of thought and appearance,
which is who we really are.
It is That which is our real, our only, Self.”

Below - a few excerpts from
Song of the Avadhut
**********************

I have no beginning, middle, or end;
I have never been, nor will ever be, bound.
My nature is stainless; I’m Purity itself.
This I know as a certainty.

The practice of yoga will not lead you to purity;
Silencing the mind will not lead you to purity;
The Guru’s instructions will not lead you to purity;
That purity is your Essence.
It’s your very own Consciousness!

Renounce, renounce the world of appearance;
Then renounce renunciation as well.
But, whether you renounce or do not renounce,
Enjoy the nectar of your natural state.

For him, where is the question of being embodied or bodiless?
Where is the question of attachment or non-attachment?
Pure and unpartitioned as the infinite sky,
He is, Himself, the Reality in Its natural form.

As a yogi, he is beyond union and separation;
As a bhogi (enjoyer), he is beyond enjoyment and non-enjoyment.
Thus, he wanders leisurely, leisurely,
While in his mind arises the natural bliss of the Self.

AFTERNOON

Afternoon photos from 8/3/18...one year ago....
A beautiful beach day/afternoon...but am "quarantined' in the Abode.......
...waiting on Internet Repair Specialists out of Nassau....

A simple walk on the beach
becomes an experience of cosmic joy
and at the same time,
remains just a simple walk on the beach.

I’m just little me,
and yet also I am the beach
and the shells and the ocean and the horizon.

Nothing has changed and yet everything has changed.
I am walking through me.
“I” has been assimilated by the totality
and I have assimilated the totality
and it’s just very amazing and yet totally ordinary.

a One's life condition since each planet entry

Understanding is never a fixed value
but a sort of free flow,
a fluid process of nature itself
that freely irrigates by merging thought and action.

There is only one state.
When corrupted and tainted by self-identification,
it is known as an individual.

When merely tinted by the sense of presence,
of animated consciousness,
it is the impersonal witnessing.

The Guest House

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

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

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

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

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

Rumi

below from
John O'Donohue

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

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

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

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

John O'Donohue

There Are No Frames for the Soul

NOT AS YOU SEEM
JOHN MCINTOSH

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

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

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

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

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

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

6/10/15

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

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

And all along you may think that you are really alive.

Don’t you give me that business that,
oh, that is not real.
It is more real than you think this place is.

Be no one known.

What has happened is moving
on to new horizons. What remains
are the desires withstood and
all the unfinishedness that will
see you through to the next day.

IF YOU WISH TO SEE THE TRUTH,
THEN HOLD NO OPINION FOR OR AGAINST.
Move without opinion.
Move naked, with no clothes, with no opinions about truth,
because truth abhors all opinions.
Drop all your philosophies, theories, doctrines, scriptures!
Drop all rubbish!

You go silent, unchoosing, your eyes just ready to see what is,
not in any way hoping to see some of your wishes fulfilled.
Don’t carry wishes.
It is said the path of hell is completely filled with wishes –
good wishes, hopes, dreams, rainbows, ideals.
The path of heaven is absolutely empty.

the vast,
resounding
silence in which
spirit dwells…

Be sugar dissolving
on the tongue of life.

Dive in and in…
as deep as you can dive.

Be infinite, ecstatic truth.
Be love conceived and born in union…

Be exactly what you seek,
the Beloved,
singing Yes,
tasting Yes,
embracing Yes
until there is only essence,

the All of Everything
expressing through you
as you…

Go in and in…
and turn away from
nothing

* Rest as the Primordial Silence eludes all thinking,

To think, there must be someone reflecting, subject and object.

More re: Aisha:
After 6 years of living herself into the fulfillment of her wishes,
Aisha was called into solitude of retreat.
The calling into Silence invited her beyond the Self/I Am,
into the Primordial Silence.
The Absolute.
For 2,5 years she was in retreat, in deep cultivation of Space,
turning the Fire of Love into Diamond sharp Clarity
– merging with the Silence which is prior to God.

By the end of her retreat,
Life began its return as a landing back into the Earth.
A happening which called for the embrace
of the human conditioning and healing
of the human wound in all of its facets
for a true emptying out of the ground and recognition
of the Feminine Essence and Wholeness
of
the True human.

See this Link for More of her story:
https://aishasalem.com/about/

Grace is a drop of Acceptance
on every moment's revelation
Aisha
https://aishasalem.com/work-with-aisha/retreating-with-aisha/

The realisation as pure Awareness in itself
(completely beyond subject and object)
is an absolute passing beyond the beyond in the way,
which allows for the total disappearance to the Absolute.
That, which is prior to God.

In approaching the Awakening of the Truth-body,
we face the implosion of the ego-identity on mind-level,
in moving with the recognition of and merging into
the Primordial Silence.
Aisha
https://aishasalem.com/about/teachings/

The primordial Silence as the vastness of Pure Mind
is Absolute Peace in and as Total Absence.
Out of unborn stillness
rises the Heart essence as Enlightened Intent.
With no ownership and no conceptually rooted purpose,
it moves like water on stone –
endlessly affecting and timelessly marking
its Silence through its ever clearer expression.
Aisha
https://aishasalem.com/the-primordial-silence/

Deeply surrendered to The Absolute
we are left only with the peace of pure Mind,
which has no reference to anything but recognition as Being –
the ground of Basic Space itself. ...

... In the deepest of Respect and Love for what is Ultimately True,
the embrace of Silence through our every movement,
in our every way,
is the growing Love for-
and surrender to Reality.
Aisha

The Below Daily Offering/Sharing by John MccIntosh
Arrived on my e-mail at 11 AM this morning
just as we finished the morning's OceanSpeak.
More Synchronicity...
What Times These Are!!!

NOT THE LOVE OF ...
John McIntosh

Not the Love of
Fleeting moments
Or of dangling baubles
That capture the craving heart
For a moment

Not the Love of
Sentimentality
That raises the spirit
Then flies away, replaced
By another new and exciting

Not the Love of
Power
That breathes fire for a season
Then flickers to nothing
Extinguished by today’s flame

I serve only the Love
That has no beginning
And never ends
It is eternal
Relying on nothing

It is the Love
Without conditions
That embraces the Light
As well as the dark
And sees no difference

This Love has
No boundaries
And lives in every breath
Fills all space
And cannot be confined

This Love knows me
‘As’ IT SELF
Who sees only IT SELF
In All That Is
As well as Nothing

John McIntosh

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/not-the-love-of

There is no need to avoid false thoughts or seek true ones
because all thought is spontaneous,
involuntary and without substance.
It is neither to be accepted nor rejected
but ignored
so that it disappears
as spontaneously as it appeared.

Heaven and hell are only
Lodgings for individuals.
When the fiction of individuals is seen through,
Heaven and hell lose all meaning.
Nothing to do,
nowhere to go;
Now or later.
Once the silence is established,
True listening can begin.

YOU ARE THIS
Part - 3
John McIntosh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

YOU ARE THIS.

AFTERNOON

Eric Baret - Transmission

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

~ Rumi

SLEEP = ("POOF") Return to Immortal Core

SLEEP
Why it is necessary for our survival

From the moment we fall asleep our soul moves away from our physical body
and goes to join the universal Soul.
During the body's rest, an entire process of cleansing and purification takes place.
Subtle ties known as the 'silver cord'
keep the soul connected to the physical body
when it leaves it.

On its return,
the soul finds the house swept,
cleaned and washed,
and it can take up its work again.

If the soul did not leave the body in this way,
we would die from poisoning and asphyxiation,
because the work of cleansing could not be done.

You may wonder where these toxins and poisons come from.
They are produced quite simply because life is a combustion.
All the physical, emotional and mental activities we know as 'life' give off forces,
but they also leave behind impurities
which take a while to be eliminated.

So it is necessary for the soul to withdraw from the body
so the cleansing can take place.
Sleep is the solution that cosmic Intelligence has found
so that we can continue to live.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanho
https://www.prosveta-usa.com/sleep-why-it-is-necessary-for-our-survival_2019-04-22

Longing has its own secret, future destination,
and its own seasonal emergence from within,
a ripening from the core,
a seed growing in our own bodies;
it is as if we are put into relationship with
an enormous distance inside us
leading back to some unknown origin
with its own secret timing
indifferent to our wills,
and gifted at the same time
with an intimate sense of proximity,
to a lover, to a future,
to a transformation,
to a life
we want for ourselves,
and to the beauty of
the sky and the ground
that surrounds us.

The foundational instinct that we are here
essentially to risk ourselves in the world,
that we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness,
that we are meant to hazard ourselves for the right thing,
for the right woman or the right man,
for a son or a daughter,
for the right work or for a gift given against all the odds.
In longing we move and are moving
from a known but abstracted elsewhere,
to a beautiful, about to be reached, someone,
something or somewhere we want to call our own.

Reality met on its own terms
demands absolute presence,
and absolute giving away,
an ability to live on equal terms
with the fleeting and the eternal,
the hardly touchable and the fully possible,
a full bodily appearance and disappearance,
a rested giving in and giving up;
another identity braver,
more generous and more here
than the one looking hungrily
for the easy,
unearned answer.

TRANSFORMING ANCIENT PATTERNS
John McIntosh

The seemingly endless rays
[individual separated beings]
of the ONE we ‘are’,
when immersed in the delusion of separation,
take on a kaleidoscope of unique conditioning.

When one sleeps and dreams behind this veil,
they are subject to the dream of reincarnation
and in those many dream lives,
they ‘relive’ the conditioning over and over again
until a dreamer begins to AWAKEN
from their long slumber.
That one may choose to enter a dysfunctional lineage
that emphasizes a particular manifestation of conditioning
such as ‘abuse’ … with its many branches.

While the extended family of this specific tree
engages in and fosters this belief/habit
the ‘awakening one’ becomes a source of Light
that begins to ‘dilute’
this toxic energy ‘for the entire group’ of sleepers
living out their karmic dream in this way.

These Light sources are often labeled
the ‘black sheep’ of the family and may be ‘outcast’ in some way,
but their growing Awareness is weakening the dysfunctional pattern.

This makes it possible for ‘many’ to be released from this uninterrupted cycle. While there ‘are’ no ‘others’ in Truth …
the dream of separation is very convincing,
and this is one aspect of the
Infinite Divine Love
You Are drawing IT SELF Home.

Those who are fully Realized
often ‘take on’ an entire planet of imbalanced energy
to help reduce its ancient ‘hold’
over the many who sleep in painful dreams.

AFTERNOON

Tsu Ma was free.
Attached to nothing,
He roamed,
He explored.
Never becoming,
Only being.
He was like the wind,
Ungraspable, uncontainable.
Wu Hsin

One can speak about
Silent or chattering mind.
But who speaks about the source of mind,
What resides behind the mind?
Silent mind or chattering mind are conditions.
Wu Hsin speaks only of the Unconditioned.
Wu Hsin

People need words until
Direct experience speaks louder.
Then, silence prevails.
It is for this reason that
Wu Hsin writes.
Wu Hsin

Sam Fu used to think that he thought.
Upon investigation, he discovered that
Thoughts arise in the expanse of awareness and that
There is no thinker thinking.

Sam Fu now watches the show as
A spectator in the audience.
He may laugh.
He may cry.
He carries on his normal activities.

Yet never forgets That which facilitates and is
The support of these activities.
Wu Hsin

Understanding is not birthed by
A mental process any more than
Blue sky is created by
A clearing in the clouds.
Wu Hsin

The Guest - Kabir
The god that man has imagined in his own image, the god
that man made according to his own wishes, the god that is
nothing but the projection of man's mind and desires; that
god is certainly dead. That god never really existed.
The untrue MUST cease for the truth to be.

You have to become more conscious of your Consciousness.
You have to become more aware of your Awareness.
A point of stillness comes where you are simply aware of
your [inner] Awareness...

When Awareness [the Core Being] is the only content of your
awareness, that is the moment when The Guest is found...

Chapter 4
The True Seeker

1
The wise man knows the Self,
And he plays the game of life.
But the fool lives in the world
Like a beast of burden.

2
The true seeker feels no elation
Even in that exalted state
Which Indra and all the gods
Unhappily long for.

3
He understands the nature of things.
His heart is not smudged
By right or wrong,
As the sky is not smudged by smoke.

4
He is pure of heart,
He knows the whole world is only the Self.
So who can stop him
From doing as he wishes?

5
Of the four kinds of being,
From Brahma to a blade of grass,
Only the wise man is strong enough
To give up desire and aversion.

6
How rare he is!
Knowing he is the Self,
He acts accordingly
And is never fearful.
For he knows he is the Self,
One without two,
The Lord of all creation.

AFTERNOON

Rhythm of Sadness...

A deep rhythm of sadness
arises from within...
unexpectedly,
spontaneously,
inexplicably.

It rises even though
I "know"
that before thought and feeling
"I" am Eternal Beingness.

It will not be held back
by the sand bags of knowledge,
from the caverns of the mind...

It matters not to
"The Eternal"
that sadness and grief
arise in the mechanism called
"me",
like the tides of the ocean,
rising and falling
in a darkened harbor;
felt not seen...

It is all just held in Its Awareness...

Sadness
is of no consequence
to "The Eternal..."
It just is - sadness
rising and falling,
breathing
through
me

I follow the rhythm of sadness
as it rises through the gut
into the Heart
where it meets
The Rhythm
of
"The Eternal"
and
dissolves
~
~
~
into
rivulets
of energy;
just energy,
decreasing in
intensity.

Only to rise again
another day, or
on the next tide...

Mystic Meandering
Sept. 20, 2015

Sadness is not something you need to fix,
cure, or transform. It need not be healed but held.
You need not shift sadness into some "higher" state or
apply teachings so that it will yield into something else.
For it is complete and pure on its own.

With the fire of awareness and the ally of your breath,
touch your heart...
Go on a journey into the core of the feeling, the sensation,
images and the raw, shaky life that is longing to be held.
And listen.

It is by way of this journey that sadness will be revealed to
be what it is, a bridge into the the universal heart, a messenger
of power, mercy, and fierce compassion...

https://ta44.wordpress.com/2010/09/25/some-of-my-favourite-quotes/

Midway this way of life we’re bound upon,
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
where the right road was wholly lost and gone.
Dante in the Divine Comedy

All we can say for sure is that a mystery comes through us,
seeking its own fullest incarnation
and that whenever we serve the mystery within us;
we experience a linkage to the mystery outside.
When we stand in conscious relationship to the mystery
we are more deeply alive.
James Hollis –
Swamplands of the Soul

And ever has it been that love
knows not its own depth
until the hour of separation.
Kahil Gibran in The Prophet

Let the beauty we love be what we do,
there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
Rumi
(Coleman Barks)

Since no one really knows about God, those who say they do
are just troublemakers.
Rabia

We find God in that which enlivens the soul.
Simply say hello.
James Hollis

Drink the wine that moves you.
Rumi
(Coleman Barks)

I can’t explain the goings and the comings.
You enter suddenly and I am nowhere again inside the majesty.
Rumi
(Coleman Barks)

When laughter and tears combine into exquisite joy
we may be having a mystical experience.
(I am not sure if I said this
or read it somewhere.)

The dynamic connection of the soul through the image manifests this energy.
(The Divine)

When we resonate to this incarnated energy
we are in the presence of soul.
When, for whatever reason
the energy no longer enlivens that image for us,
then that structure dies for us as a source of the divine….
The energy has departed leaving a dry husk.
James Hollis

You are more than you think you are and something in you knows it.
Jean Houston

For laughing and passion – beauty and joy – is our hearts truth.
All else is labour and foreign to the soul.
Hafiz
(Daniel Ladinsky)

All of the hurts and failures, losings and dyings and forgetting
were but part of the gaining of the rich material of your life.
Jean Houston in A Mythic Life

What is this precious love and laughter budding in our hearts?
It is the glorious sound of a soul waking up.”
Hafiz
(Daniel Ladinsky)

Darkness is a sacred wick awaiting your touch Beloved
to become a sacred flame.
Light is the cure, all else a placebo.
St. Francis
(Daniel Ladinsky in Love Poems from God.)

There is really nothing more beautiful
than the magnificence of the human heart
as it reveals itself.
I believe we cannot open our hearts on our own.
We must rely on each other.
Janie Brown of Callonish

Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart
and try and love the questions themselves.
Rainer Maria Rilke

You are not a human being having a spiritual experience
but a spiritual being having a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness,
the incredible light of your own being.
Hafiz
(Daniel Ladinsky)

Tell me what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
Mary Oliver

It is not always a blind man who falls into a pit.
Sometimes it is one who can see.
Rumi
(Coleman Barks)

Tears are the language of the heart.
Thomas Atum O’Kane

If our action is not consistent
with the soul’s desire, we lose energy.
Ennui may set in.

~~ Peace is perfected activity; that is perfect which is complete in all its aspects, balanced in each direction and under complete control of the will.
Bowl of Saki - 1/12/19

Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan:
It is useless to discuss the peace of the world. What is necessary just now is to create peace in ourselves that we, ourselves, become examples of love, harmony and peace. That is the only way of saving the world and ourselves.
from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VIII/VIII_1_17.htm

Peace is independently felt within oneself.
It is not dependent upon the outer sensation.
It is something that belongs to one,
something that is one's own self. ...
Peace is not a knowledge, peace is not a power,
peace is not a happiness, but peace is all these.
And besides, peace is productive of happiness.
Peace inspires one with knowledge of the seen and unseen,
and in peace is to be found the divine Presence.
It is not the excited one who conquers in this continual battle of life.
It is the peaceful one who tolerates all, who forgives all,
who understands all, who assimilates all things.

The one who lacks peace, with all his possessions,
the property of this earth or quality of mind,
is poor even with both.
He has not got that wealth which may be called divine
and without which man's life is useless.
For true life is in peace,
a life which will not be robbed by death.

The secret of mysticism, the mystery of philosophy,
all is to be attained after the attainment of peace.
You cannot refuse to recognize the divine in a person who is a person of peace.
It is not the talkative, it is not the argumentative one, who proves to be wise.
He may have intellect, worldly wisdom,
and yet may not have pure intelligence, which is real wisdom.
True wisdom is to be found in the peaceful,
for peacefulness is the sign of wisdom.

It is the peaceful one who is observant.
It is peace that gives him the power to observe keenly.
It is the peaceful one, therefore, who can conceive,
for peace helps him to conceive.
It is the peaceful who can contemplate;
one who has no peace cannot contemplate properly.
Therefore, all things pertaining to spiritual progress in life depend upon peace.

And now the question is what makes one lack peace?
The answer is, love of sensation.
A person who is always seeking to experience life in movement,
in activity, in whatever form, wants more and more of that experience.
In the end he becomes dependent upon the life which is outside,
and so he loses in the end his peace, the peace which is his real self.
... the first thing is to seek the kingdom of God within ourselves,
in which there is our peace.
As soon as we have found that, we have found our support,
we have found our self.
And in spite of all the activity and movement on the surface,
we shall be able to keep that peace undisturbed
if only we hold it fast by becoming conscious of it.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/I/I_IV_6.htm

~~~ Peace is perfected activity;
that is perfect which is complete in all its aspects,
balanced in each direction and under complete control of the will.

RETURN TO THE CORE SILENCE OF BEING DEAREST ONE
IT IS THAT SIMPLE..

AND CONFUSES YOUR ENTIRE CONSCIOUSNESS…
I AM ALL THAT YOU ARE….
AS YOU SILENTLY BE THAT
---WITHOUT THOUGHTS OR WORDS---
ALL UNFOLDS SEAMLESSLY

WITHOUT EGOIC I-DO’S ADO TO DISTRESS THE SOUL
THAT YOU ARE.
ALL DISTRESS IS NOT OF SOUL*
ew
2:19 AM-1/3/19

*IF YOU WISH TO SEE THE TRUTH,
THEN HOLD NO OPINION FOR OR AGAINST.
Move without opinion.
Move naked, with no clothes,
with no opinions about truth,
because truth abhors all opinions.
Drop all your philosophies, theories, doctrines, scriptures!
Drop all rubbish!

You go silent, unchoosing,
your eyes just ready to see what is,
not in any way hoping to see
some of your wishes fulfilled.

Don’t carry wishes.
It is said the path of hell is completely filled with wishes –
good wishes, hopes, dreams, rainbows, ideals.
The path of heaven is absolutely empty

CONCLUSION…LAST PAGE:
OSHO re: HSIN HSIN Book of Nothing

Where is future?
Future is nowhere, just in imagination.
Past is that which is not now and future is that which is not yet.
That’s why mystics have always said:
Only the present is.
But Sosan goes a step ahead and he says:
NO YESTERDAY, NO TOMORROW, NO TODAY
NO YESTERDAY
NO TOMORROW
NO TODAY.

Not even present is.
What does he mean?
Because – he is right, absolutely right –
if there is no past
and no future,
then how can present exist?
Because present exists only between past and future.
What is the present?
A passage.
From the past you move to the future;
in that movement, just for a
single moment, the present is.

What is present?
It is just a passage from the past to the future,
it is a door from this room to that.
But if neither this room exists, nor that,
then how can the door exist?
It is a bridge between past and future.
And if both the banks are not,
how can the bridge exist?

Sosan is right.
Sosan says neither past nor future nor present.
He is saying there is no time.
And the whole language depends on time – past, future, present.

Language is a creation of the mind,
time is also a creation of the mind.
When you drop language,
time disappears.
When you drop thinking,
there is no past, no present, no future.
You go beyond time, there is no time.
When there is no time, there is eternity.
When there is no time,
you have moved into the world of the eternal.
The truth is eternal.
And all that you have got are
temporal reflections of the truth.

It is just like: a moon has arisen in the sky,
it is a full moon night, and you look deep into the lake
and the moon is there.
This moon is all that you have – the moon in the lake.
The mind mirrors;
all truths that you have are mirrored by mind,
they are reflections.

What is Sosan saying?
Sosan is saying,
”Forget this lake! because this is a mirror.
Look beyond,
only then will you be able to see the real moon –
and it is there.”
But you are too much identified with the lake,
with the mirroring mind.

Drop the mind and suddenly everything that you were missing fits,
everything that you were seeking happens,
everything that you
always dreamed and desired is there.
Everything is fulfilled

AFTERNOON

I first heard the phrase, "real but not true"
from Tibetan Buddhist teacher Tsoknyi Rinpoche,
and I've found it to be a great tool
for breaking through the trance.
In the midst of obsessing about our own failings,
about what will go wrong,
how others perceive us,
what's wrong with others-
some inner wisdom reminds us:
"real but not true."

Mindfulness can then reconnect us
with the vibrating sensations in our hands,
this inflowing breath,
the pressure or ache in our heart,
and we open to the larger awareness
that holds all our thoughts and feelings.

If we can realize that our fear thoughts
are real but not true,
they lose their power to possess us
and shrink our world.
We are free to inhabit our wholeness and vitality
and to appreciate
the wildflowers and the singing birds.
~Tara Brach
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/01/03/28742/

Being preoccupied with ourselves
is like being deaf and blind.

It's like standing in the middle
of a vast field of wildflowers
with black hood over our heads.

It's like coming upon a tree of singing birds
while wearing earplugs.
~Pema Chodron

Hsin Hsin Ming: The Book of Nothing
OSHO & SOSAN
Return to the Root - Chapter 4

TO RETURN TO THE ROOT IS TO FIND THE MEANING,
BUT TO PURSUE APPEARANCES IS
TO MISS THE SOURCE.

AT THE MOMENT OF INNER ENLIGHTENMENT
THERE IS A GOING BEYOND APPEARANCE
AND EMPTINESS.

THE CHANGES THAT APPEAR TO OCCUR
IN THE EMPTY WORLD WE CALL REAL
ONLY BECAUSE OF OUR IGNORANCE.

DO NOT SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH;
ONLY CEASE TO HOLD OPINIONS.

DO NOT REMAIN IN THE DUALISTIC STATE;
AVOID SUCH PURSUITS CAREFULLY.
IF THERE IS A TRACE OF THIS AND THAT,
THE RIGHT AND WRONG, THE MIND ESSENCE
WILL BE LOST IN CONFUSION.

ALTHOUGH ALL DUALITIES COME FROM THE ONE,
DO NOT BE ATTACHED EVEN TO THIS ONE.

WHEN MIND EXISTS UNDISTURBED IN THE WAY,
NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN OFFEND,
AND WHEN A THING CAN NO LONGER OFFEND,
IT CEASES TO EXIST IN THE OLD WAY.

WHEN NO DISCRIMINATING THOUGHTS ARISE,
THE OLD MIND CEASES TO EXIST

From the inmost Core, descending ̶ downward, outward ̶
Distances immeasurable I came,
‘Till finding the Thought unutterable,
Here, lingering, I dwelt for a season,
Thinking what I could not say,
Understanding transcending human conceiving,
Pure Meaning close-packed and overflowing,
Containing of libraries the substance all

All quotes below in this font excerpts from:
http://www.merrell-wolff.org/fmw/aphorisms

....Consciousness-without-an-object
is neither bondage nor freedom.

Consciousness-without-an-object
may be symbolized by a SPACE
that is unaffected by the presence or absence of objects,
for which there is neither Time nor Timelessness;
neither a world-containing Space nor a Spatial Void;
neither Tension nor Equilibrium;
neither Resistance nor Creativeness;
neither Agony nor Bliss;
neither Action nor Rest;
and neither Restriction nor Freedom.

As the GREAT SPACE
is not to be identified with the Universe,
so neither is It to be identified with any Self.

The GREAT SPACE
is not God,
but the comprehender of all Gods,
as well as of all lesser creatures.

The GREAT SPACE,
or Consciousness-without-an-object,
is the Sole Reality upon which all objects and all selves
depend and derive their existence.

The GREAT SPACE
comprehends both the Path of the Universe
and the Path of Nirvana.

Beside the GREAT SPACE
there is none other.

The sea of life is in constant motion, no one can stop its ever-moving waves.
The Master walks over the waves,
the wise man swims in the water,
but the ignorant man is drowned in his effort to cross.
Bowl of Saki, December 16, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan:

It makes no difference to me
if I am so praised that I am raised from earth to heaven,
nor if I am so blamed
that I am thrown from the greatest heights
to the depths of the earth.
Life to me is an ever-moving sea
in which the waves of favor and disfavor
constantly rise and fall.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/say/gayan_gamakas.htm

To attain peace,
what one has to do is to
seek that rhythm which is in the depth of our being.
It is just like the sea:
the surface of the sea is ever moving;
the depth of the sea is still.
And so it is with our life.

If our life is thrown into the sea of activity,
it is on the surface.
We still live in the profound depths,
in that peace.
But the thing is to become conscious
of that peace
which can be found within ourselves.

It is this which can bring us the answer to all our problems.
If not, when we want to solve one problem,
there is another difficult problem coming.
There is no end to our problems.
There is no end to the difficulties of the outer life.
And if we get excited over them,
we shall never be able to solve them.

Some think,
'We might wait.
Perhaps the conditions will become better.
We shall see then what to do.'

But when will the conditions become better?
They will become still worse!

Whether the conditions become better or worse,
the first thing is to
seek the kingdom of God within ourselves,
in which there is our peace.

As soon as we have found that,
we have found our support,
we have found our self.
And in spite of all the activity and movement on the surface,
we shall be able to keep that peace undisturbed
if only we hold it fast by becoming conscious of it.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/I/I_IV_6.htm

~~~ The sea of life is in constant motion,
no one can stop its ever-moving waves.
The Master walks over the waves,
the wise man swims in the water,
but the ignorant man
is drowned
in his effort to cross.

My body is 87, with all its aches and pains.
I don’t identify with my body. I’m inside and I am infinite.
I’m a soul and I watch the whole drama of my body,
my personality and my ego.
The witness, which is part of the soul,
I identify with that rather than all the drama.
– Ram Dass
https://beherenownetwork.com/ram-dass-ep-131-navigating-the-journey/

Love compassion, wisdom, peace and joy are all in you.
When you sit down and identify with your being,
not your doing,
you will find all these things in you
and you will radiate joy and love.
Then those who have been hard to relate to,
you will mirror their souls and they will just be souls.”
– Ram Dass
https://beherenownetwork.com/ram-dass-ep-131-navigating-the-journey/

These bodies we live in,
and the ego that identifies with it,
are just like the old family car.
They are functional entities in which our Soul
travels through our incarnation.
But when they are used up, they die.
The most graceful thing to do
is to just allow them to die peacefully and naturally –
to “let go lightly.”
Through it all,
who we are is Soul .
Ram Dass

Below is exerpt from the story of
Ram Dass and the Guru who was NOT changed by taking LSD

At the end of an hour it was obvious nothing had happened.
His reactions had been a total put-on.
And then he asked, “Have you got anything stronger?”
I didn’t. Then he said,
"These medicines were used in Kullu Valley long ago.
But yogis have lost that knowledge.
They were used with fasting.
Nobody knows now.
To take them with no effect, your mind must be firmly fixed on God.
Others would be afraid to take.
Many saints would not take this.” And he left it at that.
When I asked him if I should take LSD again, he said,
“It should not be taken in a hot climate.
If you are in a place that is cool and peaceful,
and you are alone and your mind is turned toward God,
then you may take the yogi medicine.”

Backwards: Returning to Our Source for Answers

AFTERNOON

The seeming death of the body
is the real birth of the soul.
Bowl of Saki, December 9,
by Hazrat Inayat Khan
https://wahiduddin.net/saki/saki_new.php
https://wahiduddin.net/

The soul is our real being,
through which we realize and are conscious of our life.

When the body,
owing to loss of strength and magnetism,
has lost its grip upon the mind,
the seeming death comes;
that which everybody calls death.

Then the soul's experience of life remains only with one vehicle,
that is the mind, which contains within itself a world of its own,
photographed from one's experience on earth
on the physical plane.
This is heaven if it is full of joy,
and it is hell if it is filled with sorrow. ...

...But the soul is alive.
It is the spirit of the eternal Being,
and it has no death.
It is everlasting.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/V/V_45.htm

Rather than trying to define our self-worth with judgments and evaluations,
what if our positive feelings toward ourselves
came from a totally different source?
What if they came from our hearts,
rather than our minds?

Self-compassion does not try to capture and define
the worth or essence of who we are.
It is not thought or a label, a judgment or an evaluation.

Instead, self-compassion is a way of relating
to the mystery of who we are.
Rather than managing our self-image
so that it is always palatable,
self-compassion honors the fact
that all human beings have both
strengths and weaknesses.

Rather than getting lost in thoughts of being good or bad,
we become mindful of our present moment experience,
realizing that it is ever changing and impermanent.

Our successes and failures come and go-
they neither define us nor do they determine our worthiness.
They are merely part of the process of being alive.
Our minds may try to convince us otherwise,
but our hearts know that our true value lies
in the core experience of being
a conscious being
who feels and perceives.
~Kristin Neff

To care for yourself in a new way

In a moment of activation, the emissaries arrive.
Spinning, twirling, visitors from another time and place.
Not come to harm but to reveal, for reunion.

A great meeting is being assembled.
Invited guests and uninvited,
weary travelers, exhausted from a lifetime of seeking light,
those inner figures representing
heartbreak, joy, grief, and aliveness.

AH!!! The alfalfa sprouts are ready! First for the season as weather is now cooler...they stayed out in the night air on back porch.

AFTERNOON

When you find yourself overwhelmed by habitual,
ruminative thinking, in the cascading and looping,
the grooved-in pathways of disembodiment
and self-abandonment appear,
whispering,
“come this way.
It is safe here.”

With the power and presence of the warrior’s sword of compassion,
stand on the rooftop and proclaim,
“No, not this time. This time I choose differently.”

Slow down and feel your feet on the ground.
Breathe deeply into your lower belly.
Shift out of the spinning and into the aliveness of the body.
While it may appear otherwise,
safety is found inside the visitor,
in her core, in his essence,
and is revealed by way of empathic attunement.

It is an act of kindness to not fuel the dysregulating narrative,
a radical act which takes practice, courage,
and the willingness to fail.
Something is erupting under the surface,
longing to be integrated and allowed back home,
but it is uncertain, raw, and unknown.

The invitation is into the shaky interior,
with the breath as guide into the darkened landscape.
Dare to care for yourself in a new way.
With a fierce kindness,
drop underneath the conditioned history
and into the hot,
claustrophobic, pregnant life
that is surging to be held.
Bear witness to the wisdom unfolding there.

At times,
we must set aside our agenda to understand,
change, even to heal… for a moment.
We can return to transformation later
once we have come back online
and into the safety and regulation of now,
when the self-abandonment has been reorganized
with newer circuitry of empathic holding.

In doing this we call off the war.
We dare to practice peace.
To step off the battlefield and into the mystery.
Here we bear witness to the opposites as they co-emerge,
spin, and swirl,
revealing a third presence that is majestic and alive.

Take the breath of the new dawn,

~ Hopi saying

Capricorn- Thursday, November 15, 2018
It’s hard to know how far to continue travelling down a certain path you are currently following. There is a danger of going too far, but, on the other hand, you must give it a fair shot if it is to work. As Venus retrograde now comes to an end you will discover how to deal with this.
Try to worry less about the demands placed on you by others.
It’s what you want that really counts

AFTERNOON

To deliver oneself up,
to hand oneself over,
entrust oneself completely to the silence
of a wide landscape of woods and hills,
or sea, or desert;
to sit still while the sun comes up over that land
and fills its silences with light.

To pray and work in the morning
and to labor and rest in the afternoon,
and to sit still again in meditation
in the evening when night falls upon that land
and when the silence fills itself with darkness and with stars.

This is a true and special vocation.
There are few who are willing to belong completely to such silence,
to let it soak into their bones,
to breathe nothing but silence,
to feed on silence,
and to
turn the very substance of their life
into a living and vigilant silence.
~ from THOUGHTS IN SOLITUDE by Thomas Merton

What I wear is pants.
What I do is live.
How I pray is breathe...
Up here in the woods is seen the Word.
That is to say, the wind comes through
the trees and you breathe it.
~ from DAY OF A STRANGER by Thomas Merton

s you begin to pay close attention
to the sensations of the breath
as it moves through the whole of yourself,
you are called to move inward,
toward the source,
the wellspring,
of your life.

As you do so,
you will experience a profound sense of stillness,
of silence,
underlying not only your breath but also your thoughts,
feelings, and sensations.
In short, you are called home to another,
more fundamental dimension of yourself.

If you can hear this call and don’t resist it,
you may discover that you are spontaneously freed
from many of the unnecessary
mental, emotional, and physical tensions
keeping you imprisoned in your narrow self-image
and the constricted, impoverished breathing it fosters.

You begin to open to and welcome
the incredible miracle of aliveness itself.

Through this opening and welcoming,
your breathing is freed up
and your thoughts, feelings, and actions
take on new intelligence and meaning.

You begin to live your life rooted
in the deep, silent reality
that connects us all
and makes us one family.
excerpt from
Breathe Into Being: Awakening to Who You Really Are
Dennis Lewis
https://dennislewisblog.com/2009/08/03/following-your-breath-into-silence/

When the substance of silence is present in a man,
all his qualities are centered in it;
they are all connected primarily with the silence
and only secondarily with each other.
Therefore it is not so easy
for the defect of one quality to infect all the others,
since it is kept in its place by the silence.
But if there is no silence,
a man can be totally infected
by a single defect
so that he ceases to be a man …”
Max Picard, The World of Silence
https://dennislewisblog.com/2009/08/23/world-of-silence-max-picard/

But when there is no arrogance
the truth will come immediately,
and fill up the space
the ego left unoccupied by lies.
(Course in Miracles...
See Read More below Afternoon Photos)

Slow, deep, natural breathing
is a fundamental aspect of meditation practice.
In a childlike awareness of each breath,
breathing out we are quietly aware of breathing out.
Breathing in we are quietly aware of breathing in.
In this way,
our awareness becomes one
with the primitive rhythms of our breathing,
one with the simply given nature of
now's ceaseless flow
in which our life is rooted.
~ from THE CONTEMPLATIVE HEART by James Findley

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

For the mystic, nothing has to happen.

The below in this color font Arrived

i was and Am
PRFOUNDLY MOVED & STILLED
by this Sharing from a Friend
named Chuck Surface.
May you, too,
Saturate Totally with this Offering....
smiles....you either will or will not!....
....but surely this is
worth a Slow Read....

I felt/feel my soul instantly/no-thought Osmosing with this,
rather than any "reading" via the eyes/mind.

Chuck Surface - What is it like?
There are many transient experiences,
“States” experienced along The Way,
Which, although coming and going,
Become, in passing, a part of our totality.

Like a sudden rain of Benediction,
Showering Grace upon our wilted spirit,
Such are these transient states,
Refreshing, renewing, inspiring.

Some rue their ephemeral nature,
And in their passing, deem them “gone”,
But their Waters only appear to have dried,
Having sunken more deeply into our Roots.

There are “stations”, as well, along the Way,
Enduring Transmutations of our Being,
No longer coming and going,
Having become inherent in our experience.

Like the Sudden cracking of a green bud,
Revealing pedals formerly hidden,
Never again a seed, never again a bud,
An event in time, as the Timeless Blossoms.

I smile at the implication of finality,
In words like enlightenment and awakening,
For no matter the profundity of one's station,
“Enlightening”, as I see it, is an endless affair.

See THE HEADLESS WAY
http://www.headless.org/

The mystic poets use the word Love,
To describe the longing that moves us,
And That to which our longing aspires,
For longing is “of” That which is longed for.

And although Love is a word so entwined,
With romantic, embodied connotation,
Even so, when we read the Mystic Poets,
It is our Souls that leap in Recognition.

Recognition, Remembrance, Knowing,
More Intimate than any other,
An Ancient Memory of Something Known,
But somehow, along the Way, forgotten.

A whisper, from the depths of our Soul,
A still, small voice, Reminding us,
Of Existing before all dualities,
In the Ecstasy of Pure Being.

Remembrance, whether transient or enduring,
While birthed in Oneness beyond duality,
Contains, in our manifest experience,
A masala of qualities, an advieh of attributes.

You Feel Loved,
Wholly, Completely, Absolutely,
In a way you could not have conceived,
But… no one is there, Loving you.

You Feel Held,
Not in imagination, but tangibly,
Embraced, enfolded, enveloped,
And yet… no one is there, holding you.

AFTERNOON

You Feel Richness and Warmth,
Filling your Experience, within and without,
No matter the ever-changing nature,
Of that which appears without, or arises within.

You Feel Fullness and Completion,
In your Deepest Interiority,
Unmoving, Impenetrable, Absolute,
The end of lack, and grasping for “more”.

You no longer feel “your” self,
Though all that defined “you” remains,
Unowned, in a space now Serene and Empty,
But Full, of Exquisite, Vibrant Aliveness.

You feel Bliss, a touch of Union's Ecstasy,
Shining without center or periphery,
That when Rested into, carries you away,
Into the Ecstasy of Dissolution.

Radiant, as well, in the Heart of Being,
Is Fathomless Gratitude and Appreciation,
For the Experience of manifest existence,
For the Kingdom of Heaven is Within.

However futile it may seem to reason,
You cannot help but Pray,
For the end of all suffering,
Everywhere, Now, and forever.

You Feel Affection for all that appears,
In the Dream of manifest existence,
A Tender Hearted but Fierce Desire,
For the Happiness, the Rightness, of All That Is.

You Feel yourself in Intimate Relationship,
With this Incomprehensible Mystery,
And are ever in communion and dialog,
In the wordless language of The Heart.

Like Attar, You no longer know anything,
No longer understand anything,
You feel yourself so Deeply in Love,
But with whom, with what, you do not know.

Like Rumi, you no longer know who you are,
The Beloved having woven Herself,
So Intimately into the fabric of your Being,
That you live in Astounded, Lucid, Confusion.

Like Ibn Arabi, yours is the religion of Love,
And wherever you come upon its Sweetness,
In mosque, temple, or church, or tavern,
There is your belief, the faith you hold.

Like Hafez, and “every sane person he knows,”
You have jumped overboard from the ship,
Of binding orthodoxy and shackling dogma,
Into the lifeboat of the Poet, the Lover.

You have become as a Mad Dervish,
Wandering the Wilderness of The Unknown,
Cherishing Experience above ideology,
Dancing, where dancing is prohibited.

Your Life is a Play of Mystical Delight,
In which the Player upon the stage,
Is ever Enfolded in the Love,
Of The Director's Gaze.

You are a Wave no longer separate,
Dancing upon, and as, the Ocean of Bliss,
In which the tides of life's ecstasies and agonies,
Ebb and flow in the Mystery that You Are.

Do you see why it is called madness?
Do you see why it is called Intoxication?
Do you see why it is called the Beloved?
Do you see why it is called Love?
That is what it is like.

More Regarding the Disclosures from Bernadette Roberts

AFTERNOON

Listen to the stillness within.

Do not bring the gravity of Self-importance
into your moment of solitude....

.... but come unto the Spirit
with the light-heartedness of the young who are in
awe and wonder of the first morning in spring
where all things are new and germinate.

There is a sense of adventure,
as with the young eagle
when spreading his wings
for his virgin flight.

He knows he has to abandon his nest to soar the skies;
he also knows he has to be bold.
It is something he must do
on his own, there is no help.

There is expectancy of newness,
of wide and bright horizons,
and the promise that all is well.

It is by dropping the shackles of the known
that you glimpse
your possibilities
and in the moment
of forgetfulness of nest-security
the thrilling flight of the Soul is born.
Peter O. Erbe
GOD I AM

It is for Consciousness to eliminate all the debris
creating the entanglement between It an the body.

Once the debris has been removed,
any seeming self melts away
like a candle approaching the sun.

This is the path of the rejection of all paths.
Wu Hsin

I Entered the Unknown - St. John of the Cross

I entered the unknown,
and there I remained unknowing,
all knowledge transcended.

Where I entered I knew not,
but seeing myself there,
not knowing where,
great things then made themselves known.
What I sensed I cannot say,
for I remained unknowing,
all knowledge transcended.

In this peace and purity
was perfect knowledge.
In profound solitude
I understood with absolute clarity
something so secret
that I was left stammering,
all knowledge transcended.

See Description of ACTIVATION EVENT that Happened at Remembrance Rock in the distance above...Sept. 7 2018

https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-and-more/survived-into-thrived-all-pervading-peace-imprisoned-splendor-may-escape-september-7-2018

So deep was I within,
so absorbed, so transported,
that all senses fled,
and outer awareness fell away.
My spirit received the gift
of unknowing knowing,
all knowledge transcended.

He who reaches this realm
loses himself,
for all he once knew
now is beneath his notice,
and his mind so expands
that he remains unknowing,
all knowledge transcended.

And the higher he rises
the less he knows;
That is the dark cloud
that shines in the night.
The one who knows this
always remains unknowing,
all knowledge transcended.

This knowing by unknowing
is of such exalted power,
that the disputations of the learned
fail to grasp it,
for their knowledge does not reach
to knowing by unknowing,
all knowledge transcended.

Of such supreme perfection
is this knowledge
that no faculty or method of mind
can comprehend it;
but he who conquers himself
with this unknowing knowing,
will always transcend.

And if you are ready to receive it,
this sum of all knowledge is discovered
in the deeper ecstasy
of the Divine Essence.
Goodness and grace
grant us this unknowing,
all knowledge transcended.

AFTERNOON

Knowing the truth, following spiritual principles,
sowing to the Spirit instead of the flesh--
only this will bring our regeneration, resurrection, renewal,
and finally, our ascension above all materiality.

In that exalted state of consciousness
even the karmic law of good ceases to operate in our experience,
because in the recognition that we are never the actor or the doer,
but that only God is acting and doing through us,
we have stopped sowing.
Karmic law is then forever nullified.

4:16 AM-9/5/18

This day's morning and afternoon beachtimes SO profound...
....the OceanSpeak created with
way too many AUSPICIOUS quotes & photos
(ie a Re-Reminder re: excess! and trying to always share/explain)
and every bit of it lost when we tried to publish....
.......saying this to say the AKASHA TAO CORE REMEMBRANCE
at Remembrance Rock in Afternoon was HUGE.
The Original Experience of Emerging
from Sea/Ocean as a sea creature...into human form....
that SPONTANEOUSLY, without ANY Self/selves volition, HAPPENED

ThisOriginal Emergence as sea creature into human form
is a Thorough, Unthought, Unbidden Sense we have had for many years
since first arriving on this island 1987
...a few yrs after 1987 the Sense further Clarified
...Knowing that the Original Experience Happened specifically at Pond Rock
....what we now name Remembrance Rock.

This is a re-do early a.m. 9/6/18 that will be mostly wordless and show a few photos of the Emergence that Happened Spontaneously at Remembrance Rock afternoon of 9/5/18.
A MILESTONE! to be sure..
I am not the same....
.or maybe said more Truthfully:
I AM HAS RE-EMERGED
THE SAME AS TRUTH OF CORE BEING

no Separate "I" or even "I AM"
All just Is

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen,
since what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV
https://my.bible.com/bible/111/2CO.4.18

Thomas Merton - "no such thing"

Contemplation is not trance or ecstasy
not emotional fire and sweetness that come with religious exaltation
not enthusiasm, not the sense of being "seized" by an elemental force
and swept into liberation by mystical frenzy.
contemplation is no pain-killer.

In the end the contemplative suffers the anguish of realizing
that he no longer knows what God is;
this is a great gain,
because "God is not a what,"
not a "thing."

There is "no such thing" as God
because God is neither a "what" or a "thing"
but a pure "Who,"
the "Thou" before whom our inmost "I" springs
into awareness.
~ Thomas Merton
from New Seed of Contemplation

AFTERNOON

The Afternoon Beach Time at Remembrance Rock was/IS so BEYOND WORDS
all we want to do is share
most all of the photos .....without words...

however want to say towards the end....where i am on Baubo Belly by Rock...
suddenly we were Re-Experiencing the birthing from Sea Creature to human form......
...AND was EXTRA wobbly after that Experience
which probably lasted at least 5-10 minutes,
(though had NO sense of earthly time)
with breaker after breaker and criss-crossing strong undertow...
...had to hang onto sand to keep from getting pulled out.

These are probably too many words,
but just "had" to say this much.

LONG AGO...nearly 30 yrs ago,
i Spontaneously Knew/Experienced this spot by Rock
as Being where we Emerged from Sea the first time
...that has Held with me for years...

TODAY
this was a Spontaneous Happening...
absolutely no thoughts of it or "planning"...
...suddenly IT was Happening.....
There is a "difference" now...o so subtle, but Huge.
A Stillness Has Taken Over All Aspects

Ancient and Embryonic
Flow as Ouroboros

Adyashanti - Where all words fail
Oneness is experienced at the level that I call the heart.
While the experience of oneness is transformational and profound,
it is not itself the experience of no-self,
it is the experience of unified,
or universal self,
self as everything and everyone.

AFTERNOON

Photo by Harvey Roberts

The falling away of self is a falling away
of even oneness into what is prior to unity.
The trajectory is from self experiencing itself as ego,
to self experiencing itself as oneness,
to self dropping away altogether.

What is left cannot be described,
because all descriptions are only relevant
in terms of their opposites.
And beyond self there is no opposite,
not even unity or oneness,
silence or presence.

There is nothing that can be said about it,
not even that it is freedom.

Where all words fail, that’s where it exists.
It is the Pearl beyond price,
and it is the only thing that is ever happening
or ever could happen.

I am not being purposely obscure,
I am actually being as direct and concrete as I can."

innocence
My gaze is clear as a sunflower.
My way is to walk the roads
Looking right and left
And sometimes looking behind me...
What I see at each moment
Is that which I never
Caught sight of before.

I have the knack of full awareness
The knack of essential astonishment
That an infant might experience
If at birth he were aware
That he was actually born!
I feel myself born at each moment
Into the everlasting newness
of the world.

I believe in the world
As I believe in a daisy
Because I see it.
But I do not think about it
Because to think is to not-understand.
The world was not made
For us to think about it
(To think is to have sick vision)
But for us to look at it and assent.

I have no philosophy: I have senses ...
If I talk of nature, that is not because
I know what nature is
But because I love it, and love is for this only:
For he who loves never knows what he loves
Or why he loves, or what love is.

Loving is eternal innocence
And the only innocence is not-thinking.

The third monkey denotes
"don't speak the truth";
otherwise you will be condemned, crucified, poisoned and tortured
by the whole crowd,
the unconscious people.
You will be condemned,
don't speak the truth!

The fourth monkey denotes
"Keep your pleasures, your joys, hidden.
Don't let anybody know that you are a cheerful man,
a blissful man, an ecstatic man,
because that will destroy your very life.
It is dangerous".

Let what comes come.
Let what goes go.
Find out what remains.
― Ramana Maharshi

Become conscious of being conscious.
Say or think “I am”, and add nothing to it.
Be aware of the stillness that follows the “I am”.
Sense your presence, the naked unveiled, unclothed beingness.
It is untouched by young or old, rich or poor, good or bad,
or any other attributes.
It is the spacious womb of all creation,
all form.”
― Ramana Maharshi

There is an intimacy with Silence
that is indefinable,
luminous and still...

A fluidity of
s p a c i o u s
Silent Awareness

A limitless depth and breadth,
that embraces, surrounds, and fills
every crack and crevice
of the body and mind,
soothing and aligning the "energies"
softening their flow ~ ~ ~

There is a sanity in this Silence
that is beyond
any acquired knowledge...

It is felt as

The Breath of the Infinite
The Kiss of the Mystery
The Whisper of Love...
~
I know that I am Home...

...resting in
The Primordial Womb
of Life!

Death is not the greatest loss in life.
The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
Norman Cousins

Ah, not to be cut off,
not through the slightest partition
shut out from the law of the stars.
the inner- what is it?
if not intensified sky,
hurled through with birds and deep
with the winds of homecoming.

AFTERNOON

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.

3:26 AM-7/16/18

Here is the only place and now is the only moment
in which to look for how to live who and what you are.
Going home, knowing who and what we are and why we are here,
is not something we have to earn by getting it right,
choosing perfectly, or trying harder.
Sometimes work is required, sometimes pain is endured.
Loss is an inevitable part of being human.

The reality we live is impermanent, constantly changing.
Knowing this, facing the impermanence of our reality,
we may be tempted to move away from loving deeply
to protect ourselves from feeling the inevitable losses so acutely.
But that would simply be fighting another aspect of the reality of being human,
the reality of loving fiercely,
of appreciating deeply
and so being attached to the beauty we experience
with the people and places and things we love.

Being human means we are not detached,
we are deeply connected to and affected by life.
This is what it means to answer the call,
to commit to being here in a human life,
as a human being:
to love what is mortal,
to love what is unpredictably changing and impermanent,
to love while being mindful that everything,
every person, every place, every moment
we love will change and pass, but to love anyway.

And to love what you love fiercely, no-holds-barred,
nothing held back,
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends on it,
knowing that the reality of who and what you are as a human being
is inseparable from this body, this world, this life you claim and inhabit fully.
And when the time comes to let it go
- and no one can ever predict or control when that time will come-
to let it go…..
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2013/01/28/4963/

The spiritual essence of ourselves is our actual nature,
always present beneath the polished surface of our lives,
more durable than all of our protective posturing.

It shines through the cracks in our defenses,
it pervades and radiates throughout our body and everything around us-
no matter what we are doing or feeling.

This unfettered being
does not resemble the fearful vision of untamed desire run amok.
Rather, our true, wild nature
is the fundamental unity
of our mind, heart, and body.
.Judith Blackstone

AFTERNOON

There's something about kindred spirits,
you meet them and for a moment this world no matter ugly,
makes sense.
They bring a sense of freedom and clarity to one conversation;
just enough to remind you of who you are.

Most quotes below in this color font from Clarissa P Estes
Women Who Run With the Wolves
& all
are from
http://poledancingprofessor.com/2012/08/ten-empowering-quotes-honoring-the-wild-nature-of-women/

July 15,2018 Sunrise Beach

When women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature,
they are gifted with a permanent and internal watcher,
a knower, a visionary, an oracle, and inspiratrice,
an intuitive, a maker, a creator, an inventor,
and a listener who guide, suggest and urge a vibrant life
in the inner and outer worlds.
When women are with the Wild Woman,
the fact of that relationship glows through them.
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Truly, we know that we cannot really subsist
on little sips of life.
The wild force in a woman’s soul
demands that she have access to it all.
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés

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.

I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you,
and that you will work with these stories from your life
–not someone else’s life–
water them with your blood and tears
and your laughter till they bloom,
till you yourself burst into bloom.
That is the work.
The only work.

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.

When we accept our own wild beauty, it is put into perspective,
and we are no longer poignantly aware of it anymore,
but neither would we forsake it or disclaim it either.
Does a wolf know how beautiful she is when she sleeps?
Does a feline know what beautiful shapes she makes when she sits?
Is a bird awed by the sound it hears when it snaps open its wings?
Learning from them, we just act in our own true way
and do not draw back from or hide our natural beauty.
Like the creatures, we just are, and it is right.

If you have yet to be called an incorrigible, defiant woman,
don’t worry, there is still time.

..…the wildish woman can inquire into the numinosity
of her own body and understand it not as a dumbbell
that we are sentenced to carry for life,
not as a beast of burden,
pampered or otherwise,
who carries us around for life,
but a series of doors and dreams and poems
through which we can learn know all manner of things.
https://thoughtcatalog.com/nicole-stawiarski/2017/10/50-quotes-that-will-unleash-your-inner-wild-woman/

In Honour, Joy and Delight
...and Submission to and Possession by
Pure/Raw Creative Energy...
we are Moved to share slideshows of most all Afternoon Cavorts
...in order taken.
There are no words to describe what Happened to this Form & Consciousness today...only the Life Lived can Tell the Story
