But coming home that day,
walking downhill with a panorama of valley and hills before me,
I turned my gaze inward,
and what I saw, stopped me in my tracks.
Instead of the usual unlocalized centre of myself,
there was nothing there, it was empty,
and at the moment of seeing this
there was a flood of quiet joy and I knew,
finally I knew what was missing-
it was my "self".

...a point is reached
where the self is so completely aligned with the still-point
that it can no longer be moved,
even in its first movements, from this center.
It can no longer be tested by any force or trial,
nor moved by the winds of change,
and at this point the self has obviously outworn its function;
it is no longer needed or useful,
and life can go on without it.

The truest communication with God
is absolute, total silence;
there is not a single word in existence
that can convey this communication.

I went on to discover that in its deepest sense,
the will is not primarily the faculty of desire for anything known,
but rather, the desire for something unknown,
animate desire for something that lies beyond ourselves,
a longing for something we know is missing in us...”

To be forgiven is not enough;
we must put an end to the very need to be forgiven.

When there is no longer a cyclone,
there is no longer an eye.
So the storms, crises and sufferings of life
are a way of finding the eye.

The onset of this second movement
is characterized by the falling away of self
and coming upon "that" which remains when it is gone.
But this going-out is an upheaval,
a complete turnabout of such proportions
it cannot possibly be missed,
under-emphasized, or sufficiently stressed
as a major landmark in the contemplative life.

It is one step, and a giant one, to see clearly and participate
in the love that flows between the persons of the Trinity,
but even here, God is seen as the object of his own love.
It is yet another step to realize
that God is beyond all subject and object
and is Himself love without subject or object.
This is the step beyond our highest experiences of love and union,
a step in which self is not around to divide, separate,
objectify or claim anything for itself.
Self does not know God; it cannot love him,
and from the beginning has never done so.

Only God is love,
and for this love to be fully realized self must step aside.
And not only do we not need a self to love God,
but for the same reason we do not need a mind to know him,
for that in us which knows God,
is God.

AFTERNOON
The afternoon beach was so Auspicious...
.....just "have" to share most all of the photos below......

Yesterday I remembered why I don't sit around much these days ~
I don't want to get back up and these days I must.
So, keeping busy keeps my energy on an even keel.
I start "early" and I crash "early" ~
early compared to others in my orbit.

Anyway I did take some time this morning
to begin a new journal with the motto, "I Am Love".
My intention is to come back to a neutral position
anytime I feel my emotions are coloring my perceptions.

That reminds me that I don't have to interpret or judge or fix
or make things better for anyone.
Just notice what I am receiving from the universe
and allow that phrase to continue to refine my vibration.

Suppose I try saying something.
What way do I have of knowing that if I say
I know something I don't really know it?
Or what way do I have of knowing that if I say I don't know something
I don't really in fact know it?
What way do I have of knowing that if I say

I am going to try speaking some reckless words,
and I want you to listen to them recklessly.
How will that be?

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself.
From within, I couldn't decide what to do.
Unable to see, I heard my name being called.
Then I walked outside.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.
