Death, a Blessing in Disguise – Osho

Whether you run or you stay
it doesn't matter
death comes.

Death has started coming closer to you
from the very moment you were born.
In what form it comes does not matter.

Bertrand Russell has said
that if there were no death in the world,
there would have been no religion.
He has some great insight there:
without death,
who was going to bother about meditation?

Without death,
who was going to bother to know
about the secret mysteries of life?
One would have remained always concerned
with the mundane and the worldly.
Who would have turned inwards?
There would have been no Gautam Buddha.
So death is not just a calamity,
it is a blessing in disguise.

If you can understand,
if you have this much intelligence
— that after birth, death is approaching every moment closer --
you will not lose your time in trivia.

Your priority will be to know what this life is before it ends:
Who is living in me?
What force?
For every intelligent man and woman
this is the priority.
Everything else is secondary to knowing oneself.
Once you know yourself, there is no death.

Death was only in your ignorance.
In your meditative consciousness,
death disappears just as darkness disappears
when there is light brought in.

Meditation brings the light in,
and death is found to be the greatest fiction.
It appears only from the outside that somebody is dying.
From the inside nobody has ever died,
and that is where your life source is.

Chintan is taking his death very joyously,
very peacefully.
He will die consciously.
He is giving every indication
that death cannot make him unconscious,
cannot knock him unconscious.

He will retain his consciousness,
and he will have a laugh as he will be dying,
because the whole world is living in an illusion.

Life is neither born nor dies.
It has been before birth; it will be after death.
Birth and death both are small episodes
in the eternal stream of consciousness and light.
Excerpt from:
https://o-meditation.com/2020/01/31/death-a-blessing-in-disguise-osho/

I am dead already
Physical death will
make no difference in my case.

I am timeless being.
I am free of desire or fear,
because I do not remember the past
or imagine the future.

Where there are no names and shapes,
how can there be desire and fear?
With desirelessness comes timelessness.

I am safe, because what is not, cannot touch what is.

You feel unsafe, because you imagine danger.
Of course, your body as such is complex and vulnerable
and needs protection.
But not you.

Once you realize your own unassailable being,
you will be at peace.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

AFTERNOON

citizen of dark times

Learn tropism toward the difficult.
We have not arrived to explain, but to sing.

Young idealism ripens into an ethical life.
Prune back regret to let faith grow.

When you hit rock bottom,
dig farther down.

Grief is the seed of singing,
shame the seed of song.

Keep seeing what you are not saying.
Plunder your reticence.

Songbird guards a twig,
its only weapon a song.
~Kim Stafford

https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/02/03/31632/

Stay light-footed and keep moving

Do you hear what
the violin
says about longing?

The same as the stick, "I was once
a green branch in the wind."

We are all far from home.
Language is our caravan bell.
Don't stop anywhere.
The moment you're attracted to a place,
you grow bored with it.

Think of the big moves you've already made,
from a single cell to a human being!

Stay light-footed, and keep moving.
Turkish, Arabic, Greek, any tongue
is a wind that was formerly water.

As a breeze carries the ocean inside it,
so underneath every sentence is,
"Come back to the source."
Rumi

Farewell Letter - David Whyte

She wrote me a letter
after her death
and I remember
a kind of happy light
falling on the envelope
as I sat by the rose tree
on her old bench
at the back door,
so surprised by its arrival
wondering what she would say,
looking up before I could open it
and laughing to myself
in silent expectation.

Dear son, it is time
for me to leave you.
I am afraid that the words
you are used to hearing
are no longer mine to give.

They are gone and mingled
back in the world
where it is no longer
in my power
to be their first
original author
not their last loving bearer.

You can hear
motherly affection now
only from your own mouth
and only
when you speak them
to those
who stand
motherless
before you.

As for me I must forsake
adulthood
and be bound gladly
to a new childhood.

You must understand
this apprenticeship
demands of me
an elemental innocence
from everything
I ever held in my hands.

I know your generous soul
is well able to let me go...

[.....]

I find myself
after loving you all so long,
in the wide
infinite mercy
of being mothered myself.

P.S. All your intuitions are true.

David Whyte

Thank you to - The Beauty We Love

AFTERNOON

You are neither the body nor in the body --
there is no such thing as body.
You have grievously misunderstood yourself;
to understand rightly — investigate.
...
You must come to a firm decision.
You must forget the thought that you are the body
and be only the knowledge ‘I am’,
which has no form, no name.
Just be.

When you stabilize in that beingness,
it will give all the knowledge and all the secrets to you,
and when the secrets are given to you,
you transcend the beingness,
and you, the Absolute
will know that you are also not the consciousness.

Having gained all this knowledge,
having understood what is what,
a kind of quietude prevails,
a tranquility.
Beingness is transcended,
but beingness is available.

—Nisargadatta Maharaj

Maharaj: There are may persons who have a great attachment to their own individuality.
They want first and foremost to remain as an individual and then search,
for they are not prepared to lose that individuality.
While retaining their identity,
they want to find out what is the truth.
But in this process,
you must get rid of the identity itself.

If you really find out what you are,
you will see that you are not an individual,
you are not a person,
you are not a body.
And people who cling to their body identity
are not fit for this knowledge.

The names and forms that appear,
with different colors and all that,
their origin is water.
But nobody says I'm water,
they say I am the body.

But if you see the origin of the body
then ultimately the body has appeared only from water.
All these plants and everything, all name and forms,
they appear from water only.
But still people don't identify themselves with water;
they say I am the body.

—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
The Ultimate Medicine, Dialogues..

From the waters everything is made,
both what is manifest and what is Unmanifest.
Therefore, all manifestation (murti) is water.

—Prasna Upanishad

Remember, you are entirely on your own.
You must realize first of all that you are the proof of everything,
including yourself.
None can prove your existence,
because this existence must be confirmed by you first.

Your being and knowing you owe nobody.
You are entirely on your own.
You do not come from somewhere, you do not go anywhere.
You are timeless being and awareness.

—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

NO IDENTITY
JOHN MCINTOSH
What captivates … draws your attention toward it.
It does not matter if this attraction is pleasurable or uncomfortable … if it has your focus,
that makes it ‘expand’,
giving it Life.

This is how your dream world
constantly comes into being ‘as’ your reality.

Without your attention … on anything,
there ‘is’ no world – no dream.
What then is left, what remains?

Emptiness or Nothing-ness
is the Natural state in which Truth resides …
it ‘is’ Truth IT SELF …
it ‘is’ the Truth You Are.

This nothing-ness is without identity
and this is the greatest fear the false self has …
being nothing.

It is the dragon-at-the-door to Freedom
[which is a door-less door].

Taming this dragon means ‘not’ fearing it
and this fearlessness arises
as a result of taking
the Attention you are giving to the world dream
you have projected into your experience
and placing it on the door-less door
marked Freedom.

You may call this door
Truth or God or Love or ONE or I AM,
there are many names
which all mean the same thing.

You then surrender ‘all’ your Attention to that door
until your world dream dissolves …
not the projection of it in which you seem to reside,
but your obedience to it.
No identity = Nothing-ness = Freedom.
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/no-identity

Learn to take the
backward step that turns
the light and shines
it inward. Body and mind
of themselves will drop
away, and your original
face will manifest.
~Eihei Dogen
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/05/29/29667/

Discover yourself.
There is in the body
a current of energy, affection and intelligence,
which guides, maintains
and energizes the body.

Discover that current and stay with it.

The Master
Verses 61-80

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AFTERNOON

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AFTERNOON

You are something that the whole universe is doing,
in the same way that a wave is something that the whole ocean is doing.
...

We do not “come into” this world;
we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.
As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.”

Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature,
a unique action of the total universe.
This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals.
Even those who know it to be true in theory
do not sense or feel it,
but continue to be aware of themselves
as isolated “egos”
inside bags of skin.

You didn’t come into this world.
You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.
You are not a stranger here.

AFTERNOON.....

You have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination,
based on memories, on desires and fears,
and you have imprisoned yourself in it.
Break the spell and be free.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaji
since time is distance in space

All quotes below in this font from
The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin

To live with anxiety,
That thought moving between
Now and what-if, is
To live life unnaturally.
The natural life is
A life full consciousness in
The absence of thought.

There is no inherent need to think.
The need to think serves only to
Perpetuate the notion of a thinker.

These so-called searches are so barren.
It is like using a lit candle to
Seek out fire.
When what one is
Is clearly discerned,
The need for searching is extinguished.

The Silence of which
Wu Hsin speaks is beyond
The presence or absence of thought.
It is prior to both and
It is their foundation.
When one perceives
What is not silent,
The perception is from this Silence.

This fear of death is really
The fear of becoming nothing.
Here, Wu Hsin asks:
What if you are already nothing?
To depart from this vast nothing
In order to be
A small something is
The folly of the individual.

Profound Not-Knowing - Jeff Foster
One of my favorite things to do is to sit with my elderly father
who has Alzheimers. It's a beautiful thing to just sit in a place
of profound not-knowing with him, a place where I do not
know what to say or do.

I sit, without expectation,
without trying to 'fix' him,
or manipulate his experience in any way.

I just listen,
without trying to make things better in the moment,
without playing the role of 'the one who knows'.
I am simply available to him.

I don't need to 'know' anything in this place...
And here,
I notice a deep and profound acceptance
of any wave of frustration or sadness
that appears in the ocean of experience.

And this seems to be
what true relationship is at its very core -
meeting, really meeting in the moment,
without hope, without
a future, without expectation, without a story.
Coming face to face with - yourself.

Nisargadatta Maharaj says:
"What remains is the great sadness of compassion"

It is not cold detachment and neo-Advaita
world-rejection,
but the
intimacy of the most unspeakable kind.

AFTERNOON

the silent self
There is a silent self within us
whose presence is disturbing precisely because it is so silent:
it can't be spoken.
It has to remain silent.
To articulate it, to verbalize it,
is to tamper with it, and in some way to destroy it.

Now let us frankly face the fact
that our culture is one which is geared in many ways
to help us evade any need to face this inner, silent self.

We live in a state of constant semi attention
to the sound of voices, music, traffic,
or the generalized noise of what goes on around us all the time.

This keeps us immersed in a flood of racket and words,
a diffuse medium in which our consciousness is half diluted:
we are not quite "thinking",
not entirely responding,
but we are more or less there.

We are not fully present and not entirely absent,
not fully withdrawn,
yet not completely available.

It cannot be said that we are really participating in anything
and we may in fact, be half conscious of our alienation and resentment.
Yet we derive a certain comfort from the vague sense
that we are "part of something"
-- although we are not quite able to define what that something is --
and probably wouldn't want to define it even if we could.

We just float along in the general noise.
Resigned and indifferent,
we share semi-consciously
in the mindless mind of Muzak and radio commercials
which pass for "reality".

- Thomas Merton

AFTERNOON

I think the most essential thing in one's life is silence.
What is silence?
We think if we are quiet, we are silent.
But we must come to silence without desire and wanting,
otherwise we are not silent.
~ Tara Singh
https://friendsofsilence.net/quote/author/tara-singh

The silent one
Elias Marechal | November 2018 (Vol. XXXI, No. 10)
The notion of silence appears to unsettle
—or puzzle--
no small number of people of all walks of life...
Something as "unproductive" as silence is not often taken seriously.
The evaluation of silence differs from culture to culture.

In the West, if you notice that someone is silent
for a prolonged period of time, the tendency might be to ask,
"are you all right?"
Or the silence might be interpreted as a sign of unbalanced introversion
or isolation or passive aggression.
In India, they would say of the silent one,
Ah muni!
(Ah, there is a holy soul!)
~ from Elias Marechal
TEARS OF AN INNOCENT GOD
https://friendsofsilence.net/quote/author/elias-marechal

You want what you don't have,
and you don't have what you want,
and so you suffer and continue to suffer.
It is so perplexing, why not simply reverse it?
Why not "want" what you have
and "not want" what you don't have?

You could be happy.
Freedom is here for the taking.
You want little things
when you could have the entire universe
- eternity, eternal life-
take that.

~Nisargadatta Maharaj

A man once asked Rumi,
"Why is it you talk so much about silence?"

Awareness is primordial;
it is the original state of
Pure Potentiality.
It is beginningless and endless…
Wu Hsin
https://mysticmeandering.blogspot.com/2015/10/beyondbehind-mind-nisargadatta-wu-hsin.html

Half of the soul's work is to be.
The other half is to be of use.
It's in our nature to try with all our heart, at everything and anything,
until we chance to inhabit grace and come alive.
And being so alive,
we become a conduit for life and a resource for others.
The soul's work is ever-present,
if we can put down everything that gets in the way.
In our humanness, effort is pointed and singular,
while grace is all-encompassing.
Effort is keeping the break in our heart open,
while grace is the light of everything
not broken washing the break clean.
~Mark Nepo
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2018/07/06/27669/

Half knowledge cannot take one
To full wisdom
Knowledge of the world is inferior to
Knowledge of that which
Births the world and is
Prior to it.
Wu Hsin

What is natural
Follows no laws nor
Requires any.
Can there be a rule for
The beating of the heart or
The blackness of the raven?

There is a natural rhythm to
The workings of the world.
Some are discernable
While others cannot be discerned.
It is the dance
Between the two that
Creates action.
Wu Hsin
https://fs.blog/2014/10/the-lost-writings-of-wu-hsin/

What is called peace by many is
Merely the absence of disturbance.
True peace cannot be disturbed;
It resides beyond the reach of disturbance.
Wu Hsin
https://fs.blog/2014/10/the-lost-writings-of-wu-hsin/

AFTERNOON

Ridding oneself of ignorance is
Worth more than the acquisition of knowledge.
With memory gone
The past is gone
Relinquishing hopes and fears
The future is gone.
The present is upon you.
In every moment.
You are free.
Wu Hsin
https://fs.blog/2014/10/the-lost-writings-of-wu-hsin/

Our minds are just waves on the ocean of consciousness.
As waves they come and go.
As ocean they are infinite and eternal.
Know yourself as the Ocean of Being,
the womb of all existence.
These are all metaphors of course;
the reality is beyond description.
You can know it only by being it.
Nisargadatta
https://mysticmeandering.blogspot.com/2015/10/beyondbehind-mind-nisargadatta-wu-hsin.html

Beyond the horizons of the world is a place that few know,
a place without borders, without loss or gain...
Something within you mysteriously recognizes this primal emptiness,
the vast unknowing,
the wonder of what is not.

There is no substance to form even images.
And yet, there is a belonging that is stamped in the core of one's being,
a belonging
that nothing can break.

Far away [from this place] is a place called existence.
It's full of
dreams. of opportunities, of life and death.
But here,
in the world
beyond,
there are no such dramas...
When all is dissolved, lost, undone,
we are what we [truly] are.

But the tears call us back into what people call life,
into the strange substance that weaves itself into form.
Yet even when we seem stranded on this shore of existence,
we can never forget that place
beyond the worlds that is always
with you [within you].
It is at the end and the beginning of every breath,
more primal than even
silence...

(THE BELOW READ AFTER THE ABOVE WHISPER WROTE)
3:28 AM - 7/4/18

When we sit down to meditate,
we must seek to hear only the word of God,
desire only the feeling of God's presence,
only the re-establishment of ourselves with our inner Source,
and nothing beyond that.

Then,
when we feel the assurance of the Presence,
our meditation is complete:
the Word becomes flesh,
and the Spirit felt within us
becomes tangible as individual experience.
Joel S Goldsmith
A Parenthesis in Eternity

Luke 12:29-32 (to;)
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God;

Ps 62:5 (KJV)
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
Ps 23:1 (KJV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

God’s Assurance [the Presence] is Felt
as we turn away from the purpose of healing, supply,
- or things of this world as our objective -
and strive only for that mind which was in Christ Jesus.
~Al Denninger
July 4, 2018
www.iwso.org/thedailylesson.htm

~ To be eternal is to
Stand outside of the process of
Becoming and
The field of time.

Upon the clear perception that
There is nothing to become and
No time in which to achieve it,
Eternity is realized. ~
Wu Hsin

AFTERNOON

From Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

My Guru told me:
“...Go back to that state of pure being,
where the ‘I am’ is still in its purity before it got contaminated
with ‘I am this’ or ‘I am that.’
Your burden is of false self-identifications--
abandon them all.”

My guru told me, “Trust me, I tell you: you are Divine.
Take it as the absolute truth.
Your joy is divine, your suffering is divine too.
All comes from God.
Remember it always.
You are God, your will alone is done.”

I did believe him and soon realized
how wonderfully true and accurate were his words.
I did not condition my mind by thinking,
“I am God, I am wonderful, I am beyond.”
I simply followed his instruction,
which was to focus the mind on pure being,
“I am,” and stay in it.

I used to sit for hours together,
with nothing but the “I am” in my mind and soon the peace and joy
and deep all-embracing love became my normal state.
In it all disappeared--
myself, my guru, the life I lived, the world around me.
Only peace remained,
and unfathomable silence.
. (I Am That, Dialogue 51, April 16, 1971)
http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Nisargadatta_Maharaj.html

To be a living being is not the ultimate state;
there is something [the Reality] beyond,
much more wonderful,
which is neither being nor non-being,
neither living nor not-living.
It is a state of Pure Awareness,
beyond the limitations of space and time.
(—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That, dialogue 30)
Above is the conclusion.the last sentence... of this CLEAR-CLARIFYNG presentation
http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Nisargadatta_Maharaj.html

...and in such Pure Awareness when in this ocean,
it DOES Sense "the flesh becomes word"....
...no words or thoughts are necessary.
..just Effortless-Ease melted away...
as the "flesh" tells all
that can be told or Told.
dmm/ew

....silence is the root of everything.
If you spiral into its void,
a hundred voices will thunder
messages you long to hear.

**So the first thing we want to tell you about Innate is that it is a body-wide system that "knows" more than anything that your nervous system or brain system could ever know. Innate is everywhere: it's in your toenails and in your hair; Innate is everywhere DNA is, and in any form that DNA exists. It's unique and it's you.

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

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.

When They Sleep
by Rolf Jacobsen
English version by Robert Hedin

http://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/

Give up all.
The correct understanding will be when you realize that whatever you have understood so far, is invalid.
Give up all and you gain all. Then life becomes what it was meant to be: pure radiation from an inexhaustible source.
In that light the world appears dimly, like a dream.
–Nisargadatta Maharaj
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2016/07/give-up-all.html

Everyone is overridden by thoughts;
that's why they have so much heartache and sorrow.
At times I give myself up to thought purposefully;
but when I choose,
I spring up from those under its sway.
I am like a high-flying bird,
and thought is a gnat:
how should a gnat overpower me?

5:13 AM - 1/26/16

The only way you will ever awaken is through silence,
not through analyzation of facts,
not by sorting out good and bad,
but through simple silence, letting go.

Letting go of all thoughts,
all the hurts,
all the dogmas and concepts.

Letting go of these things daily.
Robert Adams
(via motherofhermes)
(via dailymindfulness)

Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed
is a most undesirable sentiment.
If you have behaved badly, repent,
make what amends you can
and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.
On no account brood over your wrongdoing.
Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting.
It is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

. . . You never find happiness until you stop looking for it.

My greatest happiness consists precisely in doing nothing whatever that is calculated to obtain happiness:
and this, in the minds of most people, is the worst possible course...

If you ask "what ought to be done" and "what ought not to be done" on earth in order to produce happiness,
answer that these questions do not have an answer.
There is no way of determining such things.
Yet at the same time, if I cease striving for happiness, the "right' and the "wrong" at once become apparent all by themselves.

Contentment and well-being at once become possible
the moment you cease to act with them in view,
and if you practice non-doing (wu wei),
you will have both happiness and well-being.
Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Uncreated To name Tao is to name no-thing.
Tao is not the name of (something created).

"Cause" and "chance" have no bearing on the Tao.
Tao is a name that indicates without defining.
Tao is beyond words and beyond things.
It is not expressed either in word or in silence.
Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.

Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)
Source:"Quotations from Chuang Tzu" by Thomas Merton

The hidden so-called scholars of old
did not hide themselves and refuse to be seen.
They did not close the door on their words and refuse to let them out. They did not shut away their wisdom and refuse to share it.

But those times were all haywire.

If it had been possible for them to act,
they could have done great things,
bringing all to Oneness without any sign of doing so.

However, the times were not favorable and it was not possible,
so they put down deep roots,
remained still and waited.

This was the Tao by which they survived.

Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Unthinkable, it causes thought.
Non-being, it gives birth to being.

It is the immovable background of motion.

Staying in the activity of the unity, not just the memory of the unity.
Here, I would recognize that there is a point at which,
even with the wholeness of a body,
I can permeate solitude (the communion in space),
darkness (the offering of the light),
the measure of time (the proclamation of the creative word).
Thus Novalis says,
"I am you."
~Cheryl Sanders-Sardello
in our space

The most basic experience of Silence is intimacy.
We feel an intimacy with the world, as if we are within everything around us rather than behind or alongside things that we are then looking at.

This mantle of touch brings us to the living truth of our being.
We know who we are in a completely non-self conscious way.
We feel how we, in our individuality,
are part of a vast and mysterious world process.

And when we cultivate Silence
to the point that we are consciously within it
rather than imagining that it is in us,
we cannot be other than we are.

The imagination of being within us
emanates from the loss of the touch of Silence,
for without sensing this intimate touch
we too easily think we are whatever we want to be
or others want us to be.

Silence keeps us intimately bound with the truth of our being,
constantly conveying to us in a bodily way
that our individual and unique presence
as soul, spirit, and body intermingles with the world and,
at the same time,
lives a free and independent existence.
~Robert Sardello

I looked inwards
and the beauty of my
own emptiness
filled me until dawn.

"....I would say without speaking...." "Primordial Insight" Sunrise/Afternoon August 4, 2015

8/4/2015

If I could wake completely, I would say without speaking
Why I’m ashamed of using words.
–Rumi

(see full poem at end of this post)

There is only life.
There is nobody who lives a life.
–Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Spontaneity is being
present in the present.

Spontaneity by-passes
the processes of the conceptual (aspect of) mind.

Reintegration with Nature,
which we are,
is the recovery of spontaneity.
Wu Hsin

Wonderful rain at sunrise this morning...this photo taken from the porch...this sky over the ocean....and all above photos taken close by.

This gull in photos above seemed to know me...after the photos in slideshow she flew and circled close to my head as though to get my attention...then made a direct flight to Sanctarii above....i missed a photo of her just above the roof, but she is in the bush on photo above right, which is just left of Sanctarii.
(House on a Dune..see Category for that)

The animating process is
The building block upon which
You have been erected.

Even after you have been torn down,
The building block remains.

Centering your attention there is
The direct means to gain
Primordial insight.
–Wu Hsin

http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/2015/08/insight.html

A whole afternoon field inside me from one stem of reed.
The messenger comes running toward me, irritated:
Why be so hard to find?

Last night I asked the moon about the Moon, my one question for the visible world, Where is God?

The moon says, I am dust stirred up
when he passed by.

The sun, My face is pale yellow
from just now seeing him.

Water: I slide on my head and face
like a snake, from a spell, he said.

Fire: His lightning,
I want to be that restless.

Wind, why so light?
I would burn if I had a choice.

Earth, quiet and thoughtful?
Inside me I have a garden
and an underground spring. This world hurts my head with its answers,
wine filling my hand, not my glass.

If I could wake completely, I would say without speaking
Why I’m ashamed of using words.

In reality there is only the source, dark in itself,
making everything shine.
Unperceived, it causes perception.
Unfelt, it causes feeling.
Unthinkable, it causes thought.
Non-being, it gives birth to being.

It is the immovable background of motion.
Once you are there,
you are at home everywhere.
–Nisargadatta Maharaj

http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/07/there-is-only-source.html

A common misconception is
The belief that thinking is
The creation of thought.
Rather, it is
The reception of thought from
A source which has no name and
From a place that cannot be found.
Since one can't decide to think
Nor can one decide
Thoughts' contents,
Why does one
Claim their ownership?
Is every sound Wu Hsin's because
He can hear them?

You can’t talk about the ocean
with a frog who lives in a well:
he is bounded by the space he inhabits.

You can’t talk about ice
with an insect who was born in June:
he is bounded by a single season.

You can’t talk about the Tao
with a person who thinks he knows something:
he is bounded by his own belief.

The Tao is vast and fathomless.
You can understand only by stepping
beyond the limits of yourself.
The Second Book of The Tao
Compiled and adapted
from the Chuang-tze and the Chung Yung,
with commentaries by
Stephen Mitchell

COMMENTARY

You can talk about the ocean with a frog who lives in a well,
but the conversation will be rather one-sided.

Eventually you realize that the only reason you’ve been talking
is that you love the sound of your own voice.

“Let me tell you about the ocean. It’s vast. It’s deep.”
“Huh?

“You can sail across it for days, for weeks and never come to the end.”
“Yea. Right.”

“It contains trillions of quadrillions of living creatures,
from the microscopic to the gargantuan.”
“I have a few lily pads here. Flies and mosquitoes.”

“The ocean is so deep that fish living far down generate their own light.”
“What do you mean by ‘fish’?”

The Second Book of The Tao
Compiled and adapted
from the
Chuang-tze and the Chung Yung,
with commentaries
by
Stephen Mitchell

You have traveled up ten thousand steps in search of the Dharma.
So many long days in the archives, copying, copying.

The gravity of the Tang and the profundity of the Sung
make heavy baggage.

Here! I have picked you a bunch of wildflowers.
Their meaning is the same
but they are much easier to carry.
–Xu Yun

It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly.
Learn to do everything lightly.

Yes, feel lightly
even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and
lightly cope with them.

I was so preposterously serious in those days,
such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.

When it comes to dying even.
Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona
putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.

So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you,
sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear
and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.

Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered.

–Aldous Huxley

Chaff from the winnowing fan
cancels the eye’s natural vision;
the whine of a mosquito
can keep you awake all night;
trying to be benevolent
makes the mind a tangle or confusion.

If you want the world to stay simple,
you must move with the freedom of the wind.

Why keep making the effort
to figure out right and wrong?

Why all this huffing and puffing
as though you were beating a drum
searching for a lost child?

The snow goose doesn’t need
a daily bath to stay white,
nor does the crow stay black
by dipping itself in an inkwell.

When the springs dry up
and the fish are left on the shore,
they spew one another with moisture.

But how much better
if they could forget one another and swim off
into the lake’s vast freedom!

The Second Book of The Tao
Stephen Mitchell

COMMENTARY

The effort to be moral or benevolent is a disruption of our natural virtue.
What child would rather pray than play?

“Throw away morality,” Lao-tzu says,
“and you’ll be doing the world a big favor.”
Trying to figure out the right action does no one any good.
It’s better to keep moving, till the right action arises by itself.

When it’s genuine,
benevolence is the most beautiful quality in the world.
But when it has a motive, it feels like fish spittle,
not like clear water.

We recognize the genuine.
It’s what we all want.
It’s what we all are, when we are past our own thoughts.

Let the others comfort one another with slime:
that’s the best they can do under the circumstances.

But the instant any fish finds its way back to the lake,
it will swim off without a qualm.

“Thanks for the benevolence, muchachos,
but I’m out of here.”

Second Book of The TAO #7

Nothing in the world is bigger
than the tip of an autumn hair,
and Mount Everest is tiny.

No one in the world has lived longer
than a stillborn child,
and Methuselah died young.

The universe came into being
the moment that I was born,
and all things are one with me.

Since all things are one,
how can I put that into words?
But since I just said they are one,
how can my words mean nothing?

Sisyphus - Faint Hue on Ocean

The one plus my words make two,
and the two plus the one make three.

Compiled and adapted from the

COMMENTARY

There are paradoxes born of wit and paradoxes born of insight.
No thought is true,
but some thoughts are so much truer than the ones we’re used to
that they seem absurd at first glance.
It’s all a question of perspective.

Down at the level of the micro, there is no macro.
If you get small enough, you see that the world isn’t solid
and that uncertainty is the only thing that’s certain, perhaps.
Thus, everything the electron meets is electronal.
Ditto a galaxy: its consciousness, if it has one, is as little aware of a planet
as you are of a corpuscle.

We can’t stand outside the system and point to what’s real,
because what’s real is defined by the system.
This is relativity writ large.
The fastest thing in the universe isn’t light:
it’s mind.

All things may be one with me, but am I one with them?
That’s the issue.
And once I am one, what then?

Even the one is excessive for anyone who wants to be meticulous.
Look where it leads, after all—to two, to three, to infinity,
to an infinity of infinities and beyond:
always the unattainable, unassuageable beyond.

Of course, the nothing is out of the question as well,
since there’s already a word for it.
Not one?
Not nothing?

This leaves you in an ideal position: speechless, delighted,
and ready to say the most nonsensical things,
if only they make sense.

My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that,

Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.

I don’t plan it.
When I’m outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.

In the point of rest at the center of our being,
we encounter a world where
all things are at rest in the same way.

Then a tree becomes a mystery,
a cloud a revelation,
each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses.

I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.

Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything.

Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually,
without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.

–Rainer Maria Rilke,
Letters To A Young Poet
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/05/questions.html

Discard all you are not and go ever deeper.

Just as a man digging a well discards what is not water ... so must you discard what is not your own,
till nothing is left which you can disown.
You will find that what is left is nothing which the mind can hook on to.

You are not even a human being.

You just are - a point of awareness,
co-extensive with time and space and beyond both,
the ultimate cause, itself uncaused.

If you ask me “Who are you?”,
my answer would be:
“Nothing in particular. Yet, I am.”

"A Sublime, Formless Radiance" Sunrise/Afternoon May 25, 2015

5/25/2015

0 Comments

Through all my wanderings in this world,
Through the lustfulness of youth,
And the ambition of middle age,
I held, among my other desires,
The desire for...

A fairy tale.

A Dream of Heaven, of Love unconditioned,
A Dream of Ecstasy, not of the body,
A Dream of Peace, beyond imagining,
A Dream in which inherent suffering,
Was no longer.

A fairy tale.

Born empirically minded, yet full of Longing,
I would have none of faith or belief,
In things unprovable, and likely imagined,
Of impossible dreams born of the suffering,
Of simply being incarnate.

Fairy tales.

And so one day, seeking and end to Suffering,
I turned within, to the Unbearable Longing,
For what I knew I must have been,
Before ever I learned a word,
Before ever I knew what "i" was.

A fairy tale.

So many words I had read,
So many teachings of so many paths,
So disheartening, all, in the course of time.
Of the “Truth” they held forth, and the Ways to it,
My weary Heart would have no more...

Of fairy tales.

Within… Within… Within...
Past words, concepts, and images,
Of myself and the world,
And all that the senses presented,
Presented to... what?

A fairy tale.

There, beyond within and without,
Through Unimaginable Grace,
"i" Vanished, and all creation with me,
And that which Is before all that arises,
Was what I was, without myself...

The fairy tale no longer.

The Love, Ecstasy, and Peace I sought… I was.
That dream of Sufferings end… I was.
My Heart’s Desire… I was.
All of this… I was…
When I was not.

Heaven, found to be True.

This is not my tale of Grace alone,
But each of ours, who ache with Longing,
Along this Path of Love and Surrender,
Loving that… for which no words exist,
And which disheartening experience deems…

A fairy tale.

Within...
Within...
Within, Dear Heart...
To the Feeling of yourself,
Before the Feeling of your self…

The Heart’s Desire… Fulfilled.

Jerry/brandy's first born photo from May 2015

And when the world reappears,
The Light of Heaven, your Own Pure Light,
Will Shine as it Shines already,
Within your Longing Heart,
Into this world of ever-changing Duality…

This… fairy tale.

You will exist in Fullness,
In the world of Fullness and Emptiness,
You will exist in Bliss,
In the world of Ecstasy and Agony,
You will exist, a Sublime Formless Radiance...

A fairy tale come true.

I did not want to be anything more.
I was entirely happy.

Perhaps we feel like that when we die
and become a part of something entire,
whether it is sun and air,
or goodness and knowledge.

At any rate, that is happiness;
to be dissolved into something complete and great.

When it comes to one,
it comes as naturally as sleep.

when we are near enough, It puts an end to our activities, makes us still,
and then swallows up our personal current, thus killing our wrong personality.
It overwhelms the intellect and over floods the whole being.

We think we are meditating upon It and developing towards It,
whereas the truth is that we are iron filings and It is the Atman-magnet
that is pulling us towards Itself.
Thus the process of finding the Self
is a form of Divine magnetism.
–Sri Ramana Maharshi

Just be the Self. The ultimate truth is so simple;
it is nothing more than being in one’s natural, original state.

It is a great wonder that to teach such a simple truth
a number of religions should be necessary,
and so many disputes should go on between them
as to which is the God-ordained teaching.

What a pity!
Just be the Self, that is all.

–Ramana Maharshi

Multidimensional Sovereignty

Practice powerful alchemical exercises.
In a dedicated moment, imagine some aspect of the collective pain;
breath it into your heart and breathe it out transformed.
Stay in your heart and in the NOW offering both your joy and gratitude
from the awareness of your multidimensional sovereignty.

".......only the Great Unknown." Sunrise/Afternoon May 15, 2015

I cannot tell what I am because
words can describe only what I am not.
I am beyond consciousness and. therefore,
in consciousness I cannot say what I am.

The question "Who am I" has no answer.
No experience can answer it, for the self is beyond experience.
I am free from all description and identification.

Whatever you may hear, see, or think of, I am not that.
I am free from being a precept, or a concept.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
quoted in
The Way of Wonder
Jack Haas
p. 222

God does not understand being God,
God merely experiences being God.
There is no Knower, only the Great Unknown.
Jack Hass
The Way of Wonder
p. 222

He who defines himself,
can't know who he really is.

Our souls are only created to dance; it is their nature to dance and it is the tragedy of life when the soul is kept from dancing.
Our craving for comfort and outward satisfaction,
our ambition, our desires are nothing but the longing
to experience that dance, as we know it.
Paradise is pictured by every teacher
as a place where there is music and dance.
Music itself is dance,
poetry is the dance of words,
singing the
dance of the voice.

Only when inspiration comes naturally
it is a life coming from the depth of the individual.

Every once and a while, take off your life, and rest.
–Nayyirah Waheed
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/05/not-to-worry_14.html

Imagine if all the tumult of the body were to quiet down,
along with our busy thoughts.

Imagine if all things that are perishable grew still.

And imagine if that moment were to go on and on,
leaving behind all other sights and sounds but this one vision
which ravishes and absorbs
and fixes the beholder in joy,
so that the rest of eternal life were like that moment of
illumination, which leaves us breathless.

–Saint Augustine
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/05/imagine.html

Just rest.

Just sit there right now
Don’t do a thing
Just rest. For your separation from God,
From love,
Is the hardest work
In this
World.

Let me bring you trays of food
And something
That you like to
Drink.

You can use my soft words
As a cushion
For your
Head.

–Hafiz
Daniel Ladinsky translation
