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

5/15/2015

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

"Beyond Awareness of Awareness" "Beyond Consciousness" Sunrise/Afternoon April 30, 2015

MELTED BEYOND BELIEF AND AWARENESS OF AWARENESS
<
INTO THE ISNESS OF THE ONE ETERNAL MOMENT
<
ALL IS ALWAYS NOW THAT THE SOUL REQUIRES
ew/we
4:49 AM
4/30/15

Go beyond consciousness.
You cannot fight pain and pleasure on the level of consciousness.
To go beyond them you must go beyond consciousness,
which is possible only when you look at consciousness
as something that happens to you and not in you,
as something external, alien, superimposed.
Then, suddenly you are free of consciousness,
really alone,
with nothing to intrude.

And that is your true state.
–Nisargadatta Maharaj
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/04/beyond-consciousness.html

(yet another Synchronicity
read this morning 5:01 AM
well after the above initial 4:49 AM Whisper/Wording via ew/we)

The ultimate nature of the experience of life is that toil and pleasure,
sorrow and joy, are inseparably mixed in it.
The very will to life that brought one to light, however,
was a will to come even through pain into this world;
else one never would have got here.
And that is the notion underlying the oriental idea of reincarnation.
Since you came to birth in this world at this time, in this place,
and with this particular destiny,
it was this indeed that you wanted and required for your own ultimate illumination.

That was a great big wonderful thing that you thereupon brought to pass;
not the "you", of course, that you now suppose yourself to be,
but
the "you" that was already there before you were born
and which even now is keeping your heart beating and your lungs breathing and doing for you all those complicated things inside that are your life.

You are not now to lose your nerve!
Go on through with it and play your own game all the way!

The No-Breath of Original Language - "The Ecstasy of Silence" Sunrise/Afternoon January 16, 2015

1/16/2015

MORE SILENT THAN BREATH
IS ORIGINAL LANGUAGE

THE NO-BREATH OF ORIGINAL LANGUAGE

Sourcing from “otherside”…
....yet Deeply in/of/as every aspect of Being, including physical.

Sourcing from the Vast Void of Primal Repose
Not words, not pictures.....
...not anything the mental mind can identify with or Understand.

Just “not”

Just Is The All

Pure Silence

But listen to me.

For one moment
quit being sad.

Hear blessings
dropping their blossoms
around you.
–Rumi

Every sight and sound is a decoration of silence in motion.
This means you are not living in pursuit of silence,
but the ecstasy of silence that is here to live.

The moment you start talking you create a verbal universe, a universe of words, ideas, concepts and abstractions, interwoven and inter-dependent,
most wonderfully generating, supporting and explaining each other
and yet all without essence or substance,
mere creations of the mind.

Words create words, reality is silent.
–Nisargadatta

Creation forgotten,
Creator only known,
Attention turned inward
In love with the Beloved alone.

–St. John of the Cross
–Hildegard Von Bingen

A CROWER’S HEAVEN
IS
A NEVERBORN’S HELL

ONLY THE VAST SILENCE
IS
WITHOUT PRETENSE
ew

BE IN THE MANNER YOU KNOW TO BE,
WHICH TRULY IS BEYOND ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
AS WHEN YOU ARE IN THIS FULL ZERO POINT STATE, YOU ARE BEYOND IMAGINATION…
PURELY, TOTALLY AND SIMPLY.
THERE IS NO YOU TO BE DOING THE THING HUMANS LABEL ‘IMAGINATION’
ew

When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market place,
let the spirit in you move your lips and direct your tongue.
Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear of his ear;
for his soul will keep the truth of your heart
as the taste of the wine is remembered
when the colour is forgotten and the vessel is no more.
K. Gibran

Just Is.......Beyond Being.......From Beyond The Silence Sunrise/Afternoon December 11, 2014

12/11/2014

The moment you know your real being, you are afraid of nothing.
Death gives freedom and power.
To be free in the world, you must die to the world.

Then the universe is your own, it becomes your body, an expression and a tool.
The happiness of being absolutely free is beyond description.

–Nisargadatta Maharaj
http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/2013/12/on-freedom.html

Know then that the body is merely a garment.
Go seek the wearer, not the cloak.
—Rumi

Know that the outward form passes away,
but the world of reality remains forever.

How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug?
Leave the jug; go, seek the water!
–Rumi
http://deathdeconstructed.blogspot.com/2013/08/know-this.html

Be patient.
Respond to every call that excites your spirit.
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad,
that degrade you back toward disease and death.
–Rumi

"....nothing is left which you can disown........ Sunrise/Afternoon Dec. 2, 2014

12/2/2014

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.”
–Nisargadatta Maharaj

I CHOPPED WOOD AND CARRIED WATER.

BEYOND ALL

BEYOND ALL HUMAN AWARENESS
SYMBOLIZED BY THE PLANET'S SUN
THE SOURCE OF ALL
SIMPLY IS

BE THIS
ew
4:47 A.M. - 9/16/14

The body is not you, the name is not you.
The body is the food you have consumed;
the taste of the food is the knowledge ‘I am’.
That is Self,
the feeling ‘I am’,
that is the love to be.

How amazing, how incredible,
it has no name, but you give many names to it.
It is the Self, the love to be.

That love to be is all pervading.

Before you conceptualize anything, you are.
Even before the knowingness,
you are.

–Nisargadatta

God is a metaphor for a mystery that absolutely transcends all human categories of thought.
–Joseph Campbell

Stand in your original state of wholeness,
the state before you were born when there was no knowledge "I am"
and therefore no need or want of any kind.
All suffering will end
as soon as you stand in pure Awareness.
Ramesh S. Balsekar
A Net of Jewels

The final truth is simple:
all things exist in Consciousness,
all things flow from Consciousness,
all things ARE Consciousness
because Consciousness is all there is.
Ramesh S. Balsekar
A Net of Jewels

The consciousness in you
and the consciousness in me,
apparently two........is really one.
Seek unity and that is Love.
Nisargadatta Maharaj

Let go or your wants, goals and expectations.
Let go of pretending to know what you want.
Stop trying to define problems and find solutions.
All this is doing nothing but blocking energy.

Give up....let go....surrender...
And discover true freedom.

"Mere Presence" Sunrise February 14, 2014

2/14/2014

Immobility and silence are not inactive.
The flower fills the space with perfume, the candle – with light.
They do nothing yet they change everything by their mere presence.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj

Quoted by miriam louisa
http://thisunlitlight.com/2013/10/15/silence-stillness-simplicity-serenity-solitude/

When there is really a conviction that I am only an instrument,
like the billions of human beings through which God or Totality functions,
how can there not be a tremendous sense of freedom?
Ramesh S. Balsekar
A Net of Jewels

The no-mind state is not the vacancy of idiocy
but the most supremely alert intelligence,
undistracted by extraneous thought.

".....into the Crushing Immensity of The Great Mystery" Sunrise December 20, 2013

"It is only resistance that transforms the eternity of the present moment
into the transience of passing experience as time or duration.
Without resistance there is only eternity."
December 20
A Net of Jewels
Ramesh S. Balsekar

And in time, again and again,
The two staggering drunkards push open the village gate,
And wander out;
The Heart into Sublimity,
The mind…
Into the crushing immensity of The Great Mystery.

Obliteration's Beyond Forgiveness Sunrise August 24, 2013

8/24/2013

Quantum, Multi-Dimensional Forgiveness Further Obliterates all that is unReal....
.....including selves that need to forgive......
or be forgiven....
ew

It is always the false that makes you suffer,
the false desires and fears,
the false values and ideas,
the false relationships between people.
Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

A quiet mind is all you need.
All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.
As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind.
In the light of calm and steady self-awareness
inner energies wake up and work miracles without effort on your part.

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

"To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it."
