Light is light;
it does not ask for more Light.

Cosmic Light...

Sadness gives way to spontaneity...
The inner child of the Cosmos
has come to play...

There's a hidden joy inside that shimmers up
- playful,
tickling the heart...

Subtle joy turns into Love for the whole experience of
LIFE
knowing it's all the "Play" of the Cosmos...

The Light of the Cosmos
hidden within myself
begins to glow -
an unlit light.

It is the rhythm of the Cosmos that moves me,
taking my breath away,
making my heart skip;
and the realization that

I am Cosmic Light -
lit from within!

I am the Cosmos!

I am the Joy of the Universe...

It's all the Play of Cosmic Light!

*In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . .
in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past,
from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning.
And in our willingness to step into the unknown,
the field of all possibilities,
we surrender ourselves to the creative mind
that orchestrates the dance of the universe.
Deepak Chopra
Conclusion of this page:
http://www.seekerschurch.org/qwearing-the-world-as-a-loose-garmentq-by-jacquie-wallen/

I am getting older now,
and I find that my love of
what has completely satisfied me,
filled me to the brim, continues to do so,
and I often think that I should force myself
to reach out to new things,
in order to stay young.

But what does youth matter?

I have plans for the future,
and I deserve my nostalgia for the past
as I prepare to move forward
into the plains of the soul.

My heart, sit only with those
who know and understand you.

Sit only under a tree
that is full of blossoms.

In the bazaar of herbs and potions
don't wander aimlessly,
find the shop with a potion that is sweet.

If you don't have a measure
people will rob you in no time.

You will take counterfeit coins
thinking they are real.

Don't fill your bowl with food from
every boiling pot you see.

Not every joke is humorous, so don't search
for meaning where there isn't one.

Not every eye can see,
not every sea is full of pearls.

My heart, sing the song of longing,
like nightingale.

The sound of your voice casts a spell
on every stone, on every thorn.

First, lay down your head,
then one by one
let go of all distractions.

Embrace the light and let it guide you
beyond the winds of desire.

There you will find a spring and
nourished by its sweet waters
like a tree you will bear fruit forever.

ABSOLUTE'S PEACE "...our Inherent Nature..." "...plains of the soul." September 28, 2020

ABSOLUTE PEACE THAT DEFIES
EARTHLY UNDERSTANDING

ew
12:58 AM-9/28/20

Fixed ideas are like a wisp of cloud or smoke,
but nonetheless people find themselves blocked
or captured by these.

You would laugh if
you saw someone tripped by a cloud,
or if someone claimed that they were
imprisoned by the air.

But, in fact,
people are endlessly being trapped
by things no more substantial
than air or clouds.

They make a wall with their mind,
and then it imprisons them.

Inherently, there is no wall or
anything to trip over.

These things are mirages
they've created from
thoughts they gave rise to.

Do not insist upon your own fixed ideas.

Your persistence is your own narrow mind.
If your mind is broad,
it can easily embrace
the entire world.

However, if your mind is narrow,
even a needle cannot enter.

You have to keep
letting go of your stubbornness,
and always
be deeply respectful
of all life...

Learn to step out of your fixed ideas.

When we return to our Inherent Nature,
which is our most true and natural state,
then the true reality of everything
is automatically revealed.

Letting go and resting -
entrusting everything
to your underlying Essence/Natural State
means returning
to our
Fundamental Nature.

There is something in personal love, caresses,
and the magnetic flood of sympathy and friendship,
that does, in its way,
more good than all the medicine in the world.
—Walt Whitman

This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,

Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labors to others,

Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
Have patience and indulgence toward the people,

Take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
Or to any man or number of men,

Go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
And with the young and with the mothers of families,

Read these leaves in the open air,
Every season of every year of your life,

Reexamine all you have been told,
At school at church or in any book,

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
And your very flesh shall be a great poem,

And have the richest fluency not only in its words,
But in the silent lines of its lips and face,

And between the lashes of your eyes,
And in every motion and joint of your body.

—Walt Whitman,

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid, more accessible;

to loosen my heart until it
becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which
came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom,

and that which
came to me as blossom,...

...goes on as fruit.

“Let us… seek peace…
near the inland murmur of streams,
and the gracious waving of trees,
the beauteous vesture of earth,
and sublime pageantry of the skies,”
Mary Shelley
wrote two hundred years ago
as she envisioned a world
ravaged by a deadly pandemic and
weighed what makes life worth living.

“The setting sun will always set me to rights,”
the melancholy John Keats wrote in the same era,
a century and a half before Lorraine Hansberry
considered the mightiest remedy for depression
and observed that
“hills, the trees, sunrise and sunset
— the lake the moon and the stars / summer clouds --
the poets have been right in these centuries.”

To love is to undress our names.
—Octavio Paz

& from Rumi:

look at love...
how it tangles
with the one fallen in love

look at spirit
how it fuses with earth
giving it new life

why are you so busy
with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend

why talk about all
the known and the unknown
see how unknown merges into the known

why think separately
of this life and the next
when one is born from the last

look at your heart and tongue
one feels but deaf and dumb
the other speaks in words and signs

look at water and fire
earth and wind
enemies and friends all at once

the wolf and the lamb
the lion and the deer
far away yet together

look at the unity of this
spring and winter
manifested in the equinox

you too must mingle my friends
since the earth and the sky
are mingled just for you and me

be like sugarcane
sweet yet silent
don't get mixed up with bitter words

my beloved grows
right out of my own heart
how much more union can there be?

—Rumi

Allow yourself to be used -
Thomas Merton

You are fed up with words,
I don't blame you.
I am nauseated by them sometimes.

I am also,
to tell the truth,
nauseated by ideals and with causes.

This sounds like heresy,
but I think you will understand
what I mean.
It is so easy to get engrossed with ideas
and slogans and myths
that in the end one is left
holding the bag,
empty,
with no trace of meaning left in it.

And then the temptation is to yell
louder than ever in order to
make the meaning be there again by magic.

Going through this kind of reaction
helps you to guard against this.
Your system is complaining
of too much verbalizing,
and it is right.

...The big results are not in your hands or mine,
but they suddenly happen,
and we can share in them,
but there is
no point in building our lives
on personal satisfaction,
which may be denied us
and which after all is not that
important.

The next step in the process
is for you to see that your
even thinking about what you are doing
is crucially important.

You are probably striving to build yourself
an identity in your work, out of your work...
You are using it, so to speak,
to protect yourself against
nothingness, annihilation.

That is not the right use
of your work.

All the good that you will do will come,
not from you
but from the fact that you
have allowed
yourself to be used by Love [Grace].

Think of this
more and more and gradually
you will be free from
the need to prove yourself,
and you can be more
open to the power that will work through you
without your knowing it.

Thomas Merton

"We are an instrument of Grace...
We are being played...
Keep the instrument tuned so
that Grace can play the music."

AFTERNOON

Between Heaven and Earth,
There seems to be a Bellows:
It is empty, and yet it is inexhaustible;
The more it works,
the more comes out of it
No amount of words can fathom it:
Better look for it within you.
— Tao Te Ching

To return to the root is to find peace.
To find peace is to fulfill one’s destiny.
— Tao Te Ching

Only simple and quiet words will ripen of themselves.
For a whirlwind does not last a whole morning.
Nor does a sudden shower last a whole day.
— Tao Te Ching

The world is a sacred vessel,
which must not be tampered with or grabbed after.
To tamper with it is to spoil it,
and to grasp it is to lose it.
— Tao Te Ching

There is no calamity like not knowing what is enough.
There is no evil like covetousness.
Only he who knows what is enough
will always have enough.
— Tao Te Ching

Tackle things before they have appeared.
Cultivate peace and order
before confusion and disorder
have set in.
— Tao Te Ching

Heaviness is the root of lightness.
Serenity is the master of restlessness.
— Tao Te Ching

Only when we are sick of our sickness
Shall we cease to be sick.
— Tao Te Ching

Few things under heaven
are as instructive as
the lessons of Silence.
— Tao Te Ching

SOMETIMES
by David Whyte

Sometimes
if you move carefully
through the forest,
breathing
like the ones
in the old stories,
who could cross
a shimmering bed of leaves
without a sound,

you come to a place
whose only task
is to trouble you
with tiny
but frightening requests,
conceived out of nowhere
but in this place
beginning to lead everywhere.

Requests to stop what
you are doing right now,
and
to stop what you
are becoming
while you do it,

questions
that can make
or unmake
a life,

questions
that have patiently
waited for you,

questions
that have no right
to go away.

AFTERNOON

Fire Flowers
And only where the forest fires have sped,
Scorching relentlessly the cool north lands,
A sweet wild flower lifts its purple head,
And, like some gentle spirit sorrow-fed,
It hides the scars with almost human hands.

And only to the heart that knows of grief,
Of desolating fire, of human pain,
There comes some purifying sweet belief,
Some fellow-feeling beautiful, if brief.
And life revives, and blossoms once again

Native American Wisdom

“When all the trees have been cut down,
When all the animals have been hunted,
When all the waters are polluted,
When all the air is unsafe to breathe,
Only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

Quoted in Supreme Identity by Alan Watts
https://contemplativedaybook.blogspot.com/2018/02/prediction.html

Yearn for more.

By God, don't linger
in any spiritual benefit you have gained,
but yearn for more, like one suffering from illness
whose thirst for water is never quenched.

This Divine Court is the Plane of the Infinite.

Leave the seat of honor behind;
let the Way be your seat of honor.

RETURN OF THE BIRD TRIBES - Ken Carey
https://www.amazon.com/Return-Bird-Tribes-Ken-Carey-ebook/dp/B0053JAIRI

**********************

To quote from Return of the Bird Tribe's introduction...
"There are many names for us.
We have been called angels, Bird Tribes, higher selves,
hoksedas, spirits of the stars.
The reality of what we are is more than a name can convey...".

Keeping in mind that there is no simple answer
to the question of who the Bird Tribes are - let us say then
that a working definition might be that
the BirdTribes are the Angelic Consciousness
that knows no separation from the Sacred Source of All Existences,
and constantly remembers its ultimate kinship with all created beings.

The Bird Tribes are us
when we have integrated permanent awareness
of the Divine Presence.

They are our complete wholeness speaking
to us from the dimension where they eternally reside.

Now, if you are strong enough to bear it;
If you can put aside
all your private personal fancies, beliefs and opinions,
which are but the rubbish you have gathered
from the dumping grounds of others;

If you are strong enough to cast them all away;
Then My Word will be to you a source of endless Joy and Blessing.

Be prepared to have this personality of yours
doubt My Word as you read It all along the way;
For its very life is threatened, and it knows it cannot live and thrive
and longer dominate your thinking, your feelings,
your going and coming, as of old,
if you take My Word into your heart
and permit It there to abide.

I AM come to you now,
To make you conscious of My Presence;

For I have likewise prepared your human mind
so that it can, in a measure,
comprehend the meaning of Me.

I have been with you always,
but you did not know it.

This morning while I took this pose
I thought about reaching my hand towards the heavens and God
while my other hand was grounded into the earth.

It is why I practice.
What I reflect upon while when I practice.
And it was just a beautiful morning!

ALYCIA

We had a big dustorm blow thru last night followed by a lot of thunder and lightning.
The winds were really strong and our neighborhood
lost some trees and light posts it was so big.
This morning was calm and beautiful.

Blue skies were dotted with fluffy clouds.
Isn't that what life is like too?
Turbulent experiences and magical moments
like with you on the beach that touch our souls
and forever shape our perspective
and help us appreciate the beauty around us
and within us?!?!

I imagined myself grounding into the earth during life's storms
and reaching to the heavens to touch the Divine.

TOUCHING YOUR HEART

All mental knowledge is ‘acquired ignorance’.
It fills numberless pages in countless libraries
and spills into the repository of the mind
to build walls of illusory words
around the Truth.

The Truth is Silent and wordless … empty nothing-ness,
and yet filled with ‘real’ Knowing-ness.

IT cannot be accessed by the mind,
the pretender-SELF.

Only when open, available, humble and receptive
will the gentle breath of Truth
‘touch your Heart’.

the hush of ‘not’

“it” couldn’t even be named depletion…
it’s not a turbulent hell or chaos….
just a VERY deadly quiet….
no nothing….
the “hush of waiting”…..
not depression, not dark night of the soul,
not life, not death…..

.....just simply not…..

..one “sees” and “knows” too much…
.nothing “human” seems to make a difference…
and yet…because of the quiet…
one has to wonder if the soul has been totally possessed…
and then one wonders if it’s a possession by God or Satan…
this is brand new….
cannot say that I’m unhappy or disturbed…
just quiet and waiting….nothing….
Beyond The Silence.
Excerpt from
Evil's Tender Kiss
ew
approx 1990-
Lyford Cay,
Nassau Bahamas

Sometimes you come upon a place that
beckons you into silence: an old stone bench,
a lake shore, a certain time of your life. Nothing
small can reside there.

I'm looking for that place now, the kind of place
that puts clocks to rest because something must
come forth to reset everything. I don't want to
follow these rules and constructs anymore -
written, not written, felt.

Something is asking me not to, and it is wise.

Reason doesn't have roots that run deep enough
to tap the place that I am longing for, that place
where obvious things cannot be explained. That
place that is called sacred even by those who
never used the word before.

I want you to sit and wait with me, away from the
noise and the voices of those who speak only to rob
you of your name. What most needs to be heard
hasn't yet been said.

*Everyone who has received a human body at

A human body is a unique structure that allows
covering the distance between the state of
“an ordinary person” and the state of God.

All high levels of the evolution of consciousness
— up to the Mergence with the Creator --
can be reached only in a human body!

REMEMBRANCE ROCK

Pure prayer begins at the threshold of silence.
It says nothing, asks for nothing.
It is a kind of listening.

The deeper the listening,
the less we listen for,
until silence itself
becomes
the voice of God.

― Stephen Mitchell
A Book of Psalms: Selections Adapted from the Hebrew

COLORS BLIND THE EYE.
SOUNDS DEAFEN THE EAR.
FLAVORS NUMB THE TASTE.
THOUGHTS WEAKEN THE MIND.
DESIRES WITHER THE HEART.

THE MASTER OBSERVES THE WORLD
BUT TRUSTS HIS INNER VISION.
HE ALLOWS THINGS TO COME AND GO.
HIS HEART IS OPEN AS THE SKY.
Tao te Ching #12 -
Stephen Mitchell

The Mystery of the Moment

To the mind there is such a thing as news,
whereas to the inner knowing, it is all
in the middle of its happening.

To doubters, this is a pain.
To believers, it's gospel.
To the lover and the visionary,
it is life as it's being lived.

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

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".
Bernadette Roberts

...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.

AFTERNOON

Rumi ♡ From Self to Self

The seeds of His love blossom in every heart.
The sounds of His flute fill every celebration.
Everyone thinks that he sings and dances
But no---
He is the only one singing,
He is the only one dancing.

If a tree could run or fly
it would not suffer from the teeth of a saw
or the blows of an axe.

If the Sun did not run across the sky
the world would not see
the colors of morning.
If water did not rise from the sea
plants would not be quickened
by rivers or rain.

It’s only when a drop leaves the ocean—and returns--
that it can find an oyster
and become a pearl.

But you have no need to go anywhere--
journey within yourself.
Enter a mine of rubies
and bathe in the splendor of your own light.

O great one,
Journey from self to Self
and find the mine of gold.

Leave behind what is sour and bitter--
move toward what is sweet.

Be like the thousand different fruits
that grow from briny soil.

This is the miracle--

Every tree becomes beautiful
when touched by sunlight;

If you are lugging a heavy bag,
do not fail to look inside it

If it is really worth bringing along, bring it;
otherwise, empty your sack

Can the Mind End Self?

Whether or not there honestly exists certain techniques
of mind-manipulation that can bypass the need for divine intervention,
or the need to wait upon God,
is something I do not know.

Nor can I imagine how anyone can put a permanent,
irrevocable end to the reflexive movement of the mind
without running into certain psychological dangers.
The danger would lie in not knowing how to proceed
once this mechanism had been overcome
or closed down.

Without some compensating or sustaining factor
arriving on the scene,
the state of no-self is no guarantee
of ecstasy or bliss,
because once the relatively peaceful effects
have worn off,
no-self can become
– as I discovered in the Passageway* –
a very burdensome,
if not dire state of affairs.

“Our parents gave us just a seed
and that became the body.

But what the Source of Creation gave us
was not a seed in that sense.
It gave itself.

This is the reason that all the possibilities
that the Source of Creation holds
are kind of encapsulated in us.

Whether that possibility is realized
in an individual life or not
is questionable,
but the possibility is always there.”

― Sadhguru,
Death; An Inside Story: A book for all those who shall die

“Avoiding death is avoiding life,
dodging life is inviting death.
For most people,
if life becomes unpleasant or burdensome,
then,
knowingly or unknowingly,
they start dodging life.

Once you start dodging life,
you are invariably inviting death.

There is no better method in the world to dodge life
except to invite death.
Either you do it consciously or you do it unconsciously.

One major contribution to the multiple, complex ailments
that you see on the planet these days
is that people are trying to dodge life
and, in the process,
are inviting death.

The body is only cooperating with this.

The body is just fulfilling your desire to invite death.
Ask, and it shall happen!

People are trying to avoid life
because they think it is unsafe.

You should know that the only safe place
on the planet is your grave.

Nothing happens there.
There is no safety in life itself.

Like I said earlier,
tomorrow morning you may be dead,
no matter how much security you create for yourself.

I am not wishing you this,
but it does not matter how healthy you are,
how well you are right now,
tomorrow you may be dead.

It is a real possibility.

So there is no such thing as security in this life.

The moment you start seeking security,
naturally, you become death-oriented.
Unknowingly,

you will seek death.”

― Sadhguru,
Death; An Inside Story: A book for all those who shall die

The easiest method to remove
The ongoing condition of vibilance is to
Remove the me whom
The vigilance protects.

* The ego is afraid of death because it sees the end of the ego.
And therefore the culture is afraid of death.
However, when we identify with the soul there is no fear of death.

And I certainly identified with my soul.
I didn't identify with my body. And my mind.
My perception of myself was of
a spiritual being delving into humanity.

The snake spirit animal has a powerful connection to primal energy and life force.
In most cultures, it is regarded as a powerful symbol
that represents the source of life.

The appearance of the snake spirit animal in your life
possibly means that increased energy,

“May you find that within you
which already lives beyond death
and begin to live out of it now.”
~ Rafe (Benedictine monk)

Listen to it. It is now.
It is taking place now.
It is taking your whole world in,
and it does it effortlessly.
For this is it.

The whole thing yes,
all you have ever been,
seen, heard, encountered.

All you have ever thought and felt.
Including that which has given a home,
a birthing place to it all.

The whole bunch of it, this is you.
I mean really you.
Don’t think that you were some part of it.
There are no parts.

Your life is an undivided whole.
And put your two feet in it.
Stand as it.

Don’t escape into some dark corners.
Be proud.

Take it all in.
Be the giant that you truly are.

But first, diminish all that is small in you.
All your bits and pieces.
Your thoughts of grandeur and failure.

Your overwhelming feelings.
Your precious little person.
They will get in the way.
Make them dim and distant.

Let them leave you.
For they were never yours, never you.
They were little clowns dancing, laughing, crying
on the stage of your life.
Asking for your applauds or your pity.

Don’t involve yourself with them.
Welcome them all but stay remote, untouched.
Let them perform though.
They need to tell you something.
To warn you.

But stay when they have left the stage.
Don’t run away with them.
Don’t forget who you are.
Extend your view.

Make your being whole.
Encompass it.
Espouse it.
Listen to it.
It is now.

It is taking place now.
It is taking your whole world in,
and it does it effortlessly.
For this is it.
The whole thing yes…

Pondering Impermanence...
(From: Mystic Meandering)

With my mother's death last year and now with the COVID
Pandemic - feeling surrounded by death - I have become more
aware of my own mortality, especially at my age, with a body
malfunctioning, broken since birth.

So I have been pondering "death" - not morbidly, but with a
sense of the reality of the impermanence of this life of
physicality. What can you do... It's going to happen...
It's just the nature of time for things to fall away in the
cycle of life...

A few months ago, in my ponderings, I wrote this -

The "I" (the Eternal Being) that inhabits this body is not aging -
but "i" am surprised by the body's increasing decline - knowing
where it is headed - the inevitable...
death...

Saddened by the prospect -
although grateful that the end
to the body's struggles is closer -
how close "she" doesn't know -
but wonders what that will be like;
to witness the death of her body
and the possibility of a
"cosmic birthing" into a new "form"
of the Formless;

or maybe dissolve
back into cosmic dust, or be absorbed
by the Vastness of the Eternal.

Sentience dissolving into the Eternal...

Who really knows...

All is transient here.
We're just passing through.

I shouldn't be surprised by this,
feeling the body's decline as I do -
but still -

gives me pause...

How Prayer Works
Most ancient prayers have nothing in common with petitions; they are, as it were, ‘recapitulations’.
By repeating them aloud or to himself,
a man endeavors to experience what is in them
– their content –
with his mind and feeling,
concentrating and reflecting
on the real sense of each word –
what it really means to him,
how he can understand it.

In this way, many ideas will become
connected in his thinking and many thoughts
relating to the words of the prayer
will pass through his mind.

And then it is precisely these thoughts
which can do for him what he asks God to do.
G. I. Gurdjieff
Quoted in:
A Recapitulation of the Lord's Prayer

open secret

Think of the phoenix coming up out of ashes,
but not flying off.
For a moment we have form.
We can't see.

How can we be conscious and you be conscious
at the same time and separate?

Copper when an alchemist works on it loses its copper qualities.

Seeds in Spring
begin to be trees, no longer seed. Brushwood
put in the fire changes.

The snow-world melts.
You step in my footprint and it's gone.

It's not that I've done anything to deserve
this attention from you.

Predestination and freewill: We can argue them,
but they're only ideas. What's real
is a presence, like Shams.

REMEMBRANCE ROCK - PORTAL OF PLANET ENTRY

Until you make the unconscious conscious,
it will direct your life,
and you will call it fate.
Carl Gustav Jung

when we can't meet out there
Our wholeness comes from rooting in the rhythms and cycles of nature.
When tending the health of a damaged ecosystem,
we improve the soil quality and plant native species,
rather than eliminating invasive species.

Likewise, we tend the health of our psyches,
not by getting rid of pathology,
but by cultivating the “native species”
within ourselves.

We become whole not only for ourselves,
but also to strengthen our capacity
to protect and serve our world.

Protecting nature means resisting the dominant culture,
industrial civilization, a way of life fueled by the perpetual exploitation
of peoples and lands in a futile addiction
to an unsustainable lifestyle.

A strong resistance is one that is multi-faceted;
a foundational ingredient is rooting the depths
of our psyches in a genuine perception of the Earth
as a living and breathing being
with whom
we can commune and listen.

Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious.

The strength of a person’s spirit would then be measured by how much ‘truth’ he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified.

You say ‘I’ and you are proud of this word.
But greater than this

Rumi

In silence things take form,
and we must wait and watch.

In us, in our secret depth,
lies the knowing element which sees and hears
that which we do not see nor hear.

All our perceptions, all the things we have done,
all that we are today,
dwelt once in that knowing, silent depth,
that treasure chamber in the soul.

Kahlil Gibran

in which the waves of favor and disfavor
constantly rise and fall.

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

In sorrow one may look to God, and in joy one may thank Him.
One does not bemoan the past, nor worry about the future;
one tries only to make the best of today.

One should know no failure,
for even in a fall there is a stepping-stone to rise;
but to the Sufi the rise and fall matter little.

One does not repent for what one has done,
since one thinks, says, and does what one means.
One does not fear the consequences of performing one's wish in life,
for what will be, will be.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/I/I_I_2.htm

What will rise must fall, and what will fall must rise.
Rise and fall are natural to life.
No rise is permanent, or fall lasting.
It is reality behind it all which is steady and dependent. ...
Life is one living stream, continually running without beginning or end.
Death is man's illusion.

The change that hides man's existence from him he calls death.

Life is still, but its flow, which is ever-moving, rises and fall in waves;
it is this that created an illusion of rise and fall.
All this we see is the manifestation of one Spirit in many and varied forms.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XII/XII_III_1.htm

The quality of the saints is to be resigned to all that comes --
but then they do not even form a wish.
They take all that comes, flowers or thorns;
everything that comes, they take it.

They look into thorns and see that they are flowers.
With praise and with blame they are contented.
They are contented with rise and fall;
they take all that comes,
they take life as it is.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIV/XIV_6.htm

~~~ While man rejoices over his rise
and sorrows over his fall,
the wise man takes both
as the natural consequences of life.

UNFETTERING THE SOUL " Death is cosmic, total orgasm." July 11, 2020

THE DISSOLUTION OF EGOIC MIND PREVAILS
UNFETTERING THE SOUL
FREED TO BE TRUTH OF ORIGINAL BEING
BEYOND WORDS & THOUGHTS
THE GREAT SILENCE PREVAILS
ew
12:37 AM-7/11/20

Start meditating on death.
And whenever you feel death close by,
go into it through the door of love,
through the door of meditation,
through the door of a man dying.

And if some day you are dying
— and the day is going to come one day —
receive it in joy, benediction.

And if you can receive death in joy and benediction,
you will attain to the greatest peak,
because death is the crescendo of life.

Hidden in it is the greatest orgasm,
because hidden in it is the greatest freedom.

Death is making love to God, or God making love to you.
Death is cosmic, total orgasm.

So drop all ideas that you carry about death --
they are dangerous.

They make you antagonistic
to the greatest experience
that you need to have.

If you miss death you will be born again.
Unless you have learned how to die,
you will go on being born again and again and again.

This is the wheel, samsara, the world.

Once you have known the greatest orgasm,
then there is no need; you disappear,
and you remain
in that orgasm forever.

You don't remain like you,
you don't remain as an entity,
you don't remain defined,
identified with anything.
You remain as the whole,
not as the part.

This is Nagarjuna's shunyavada,
and this is Buddha's unspoken message,
the unspoken word.

They are both the same.
-Osho

From The Heart Sutra, Discourse #2

AFTERNOON

It is I who must begin.
Once I begin, once I try --
here and now,
right where I am,
not excusing myself
by saying things
would be easier elsewhere,

without grand speeches and
ostentatious gestures,
but all the more persistently
-- to live in harmony
with the "voice of Being," as I
understand it within myself

-- as soon as I begin that,
I suddenly discover,
to my surprise, that
I am neither the only one,
nor the first,
nor the most important one
to have set out
upon that road.

Whether all is really lost
or not depends entirely on
whether or not I am lost.

—Vaclav Havel

An ant hurries along a threshing floor
with its wheat grain, moving between huge stacks
of wheat, not knowing the abundance
all around. It thinks its one grain
is all there is to love.

So we choose a tiny seed to be devoted to.
This body, one path, one teacher.
Look wider and farther.

The essence of every human being can see,
and what that essence-eye takes in,
the being becomes. Saturn. Solomon!

The ocean pours through a jar,
and you might say it swims inside
the fish! This mystery gives peace to
your longing and makes the road home home.

Silence is the language of God,
all else is poor translation.
~Rumi

when I focus on day-to-day entitlements, I forget the wise ways.....
inquiry for today~ may you too, remember.....:

Stillness is vital to the world of the soul.
If as you age you become more still,
you will discover that stillness can be a great companion.

The fragments of your life will have time to unify,
and the places
where your soul-shelter is wounded or broken
will have time to knit and heal.

You will be able to return to yourself.
In this stillness, you will engage your soul.

Many people miss out on themselves completely as they journey through life.
They know others, they know places, they know skills,
they know their work,
but tragically,
they do not know themselves at all.

Aging can be a lovely time of ripening
when you actually meet yourself,
indeed maybe for the first time.

There are beautiful lines from T. S. Eliot that say:

'And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.'
~John O'Donohue

AFTERNOON

Rumi ♡ Lovers have some secrets

A spirit that lives in this world
and does not wear the shirt of love,
such an existence is a deep disgrace.

Be foolishly in love,
because love is all there is.

There is no way into presence
except through a love exchange.

If someone asks, But what is love?
answer, Dissolving the will.

True freedom comes to those
who have escaped the questions
of freewill and fate.

Love is an emperor.
The two worlds play across him.
He barely notices their tumbling game.

Love and lover live in eternity.
Other desires are substitutes
for that way of being.

How long do you lay embracing a corpse?
Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.

Anything born in spring dies in the fall,
but love is not seasonal.

With wine pressed from grapes,
expect a hangover.

But this love path has no expectations.
You are uneasy riding the body?
Dismount. Travel lighter.

Wings will be given.

June 21, 2015

August 5, 2018

Be clear like a mirror
reflecting nothing.

Be clean of pictures and the worry
that comes with images.

Gaze into what is not ashamed
or afraid of any truth.

Contain all human faces in your own
without any judgment of them.

Be pure emptiness.
What is inside that? you ask.
Silence is all I can say.

Lovers have some secrets
that they keep.
Rumi

“Then,”

--whispering as it were to the bewildered neophyte
the dearest secret of his love--

--“then will He sometimes peradventure
send out a beam of ghostly light,
piercing this cloud of unknowing that is betwixt thee and Him;

the which man may not,
nor cannot speak.”

The world's spiritual geniuses seem to discover universally
that the mind's muddy river,
this ceaseless flow of trivia and trash,
cannot be dammed,
and that trying to dam it is a waste of effort
that might lead to madness.

Instead you must
allow the muddy river to flow unheeded
in the dim channels of consciousness;
you raise your sights;

you look along it, mildly,
acknowledging its presence without interest
and gazing beyond it into the realm of the real
where subjects and objects act
and
rest purely,
without utterance.

AFTERNOON

You see what the eye does teach;
and yet it would never of itself
have afforded this insight, without something
that looks through the eyes
and uses the data of the senses
as mere guides to penetrate
from the apparent to the unseen.

It is needless
to add the methods of geometry
that lead us step by step
through visible delineations
to truths that lie out of sight,
and countless other instances
which all prove that apprehension
is the work of an intellectual essence
deeply seated in our nature,
acting through the operation
of our bodily senses.

—St. Gregory of Nyssa (335 – 395)
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2020/06/is-it-body-that-is-thinking-or-is-it.html

If you’ve got somebody’s aspects
in your experience that you don’t like,
there’s only one reason they’re there.
You keep evoking them with your attention to them.

Without knowing about Law of Attraction, you have
— through your old habit of observation --
achieved vibrational harmony with the parts of them
that you do not like,...
and you keep summoning
those parts from them
by your constant
vibrational offering of them.
Esther (Hicks)
(and Abraham and Jerry)

First, forget what time it is
for an hour
do it regularly every day

then forget what day of the week it is
and do this regularly for a week
then forget what country you are in
and practice doing it in company
for a week
and then do them together
for a week
with as few breaks as possible

follow these by forgetting to add
or to subtract
it makes no difference
you can change them
around after a week
both will help you later
to forget how to count

forget how to count
starting with your own age
starting with how to count backwards
starting with even numbers
with Roman numerals
starting with fractions of Roman numerals
with the old calendar
going on to the old alphabet
going on to the alphabet
forgetting it all until everything
is continuous again

go on to forgetting elements
starting with water
proceeding to earth
rising in fire

forget fire

Having Nothing
Rumi

Whatever comes, comes from a need,
a sore distress, a hurting want.

Mary’s pain made the baby Jesus.
Her womb opened its lips
and spoke the Word.

Every part of you has a secret language.
Your hands and your feet say what you have done.

Every need brings in what’s needed.
Pain bears its cure like a child.

Having nothing produces provisions.
Ask a difficult question
and the marvelous answer appears.

Build a ship, and there will be water
to float it. The tender throated infant cries,
and milk drips from the mother’s breast.

Be thirsty for the ultimate water.
Then be ready for what will come
pouring from the spring.

Sadhguru, How Do I Live In The Moment?
A lot of people in the world are trying very hard to 'live in the moment',
and they will keep trying forever.
Because the reality is, they are living in the moment!

Sadhguru explains why 'live in the moment' is a stupid idea,

I imagine one of the reasons that people cling
to their hate (prejudice and racism) so stubbornly
is because they sense that once hate is gone,
they will be forced to deal with
their own pain...

James Baldwin

We project our fears and hate onto others
because we can't look honestly
at ourselves...

Jack Kornfield

When love and hate are both absent
everything becomes clear and undisguised.

Make the smallest distinction, however
and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

If you wish to see the truth
then hold no opinion for or against anything.

To set up what you like against what you dislike
is the disease of the mind.

When the deep meaning of things is not understood
the minds essential peace is disturbed....

Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject
that we do not see the true nature of things.

Perceptions of The Universe - Selected Quotes

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean.
Some part of our being knows this is where we came from.
We long to return, and we can because the cosmos is
also within us.

We are made of star stuff.

Carl Sagan
Cosmos

What are we?

A fleeting, intricate presence riding a tiny speck of water
and rock, out here in the dark, sailing the ship of wonder
ever more deeply into the void from which we came...

Whitley Strieber and Jeffrey J. Kripal
from:
The Super Natural: A New Vision of the Unexplained

When dew falls as tears from the morning sky,
When riverside trees sparkle in sunlight,
So close in my heart their shadows fall,
Then I know
That the Universe is a floating lotus
In the holy lake of my mind.

Then I know:
I am the voice within the Voice,
The song within the Song,
The life within the Life,
The light breaking through the heart of darkness.

Rabindranath Tagore
from - "A Flight of Swans"
translated by Aurobindo Bose

... thus you came into being
from non-existence...

...like a star without a name...

Move across the night sky
with those anonymous lights...

And ask you to have faith.
Others hold forth their “beliefs”,

If you’re lucky, you’ll meet a poet,
Who makes no sense at all.

Pray the prayer that is the essence

Prayer is an egg.
Hatch out
the total helplessness inside.

Your True Life

As you start to walk out on the way

AFTERNOON

So often in life, we move beyond what we imagined we were capable of,
and breaking through that boundary
propels us toward transformation.

Someone once said,
"Death comes not to you,
but to someone else whom the gods make ready."

This sentiment feels true to me.
The person I am today, living in this story,
is not exactly the same person
as the one who will die.

Life and death will change me.
I will be different in some very fundamental ways.
For something new to emerge within us,
we must be open to change.

...Dont wait.
Everything we need is right in front of us.
Impermanence is the doorway to possibility.

Embracing it is where true freedom lies.

—Frank Ostaseski
The Five Invitations

If we learn to let go into uncertainty,
to trust that our basic nature and that of the world
are not different,
then the fact that things are not solid and fixed becomes,
rather than a threat,
a liberating opportunity.

Living and Dying: A Buddhist Perspective

No permanence is ours; we are a wave
That flows to fit whatever form it finds:
Through day or night, cathedral or the cave
We pass forever, craving form that binds.

I was ecstatic,
I had discovered Rumi who can join us,
coming from the West and the East or Islam and Christianity,

“Out beyond the ideas of right-doing and wrongdoing,
there is a field I will meet you there.
It’s the world full of things to talk about.”

After I was done with my patients’ schedule
I recalled some of the verses of Rumi:

“Words are a pretext.
It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.”

“Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.”

“Reason is powerless in the expression of love.”

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.”

“Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought.”

“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”

When one tugs at a single thing in nature,
he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
- John Muir

The Peace of Wild Thmgs

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wendell Berry
from New Collected Poems (Counterpoint, 2012)

Out beyond the ideas of right-doing and wrongdoing,
there is a field I will meet you there.
It's the world full of things to talk about.
Rumi
(See Read More below Afternoon Photos for More re; this quote)

Friend Rosemary - Harbour Island Bahamas 8/21-19

Sometimes as an antidote
To fear of death,
I eat the stars.
Those nights, lying on my back,
I suck them from the quenching dark
Til they are all, all inside me,
Pepper hot and sharp.

Sometimes, instead, I stir myself
Into a universe still young,
Still warm as blood:
No outer space, just space,
The light of all the not yet stars
Drifting like a bright mist,
And all of us, and everything
Already there
But unconstrained by form.

And sometime it’s enough
To lie down here on earth
Beside our long ancestral bones:
To walk across the cobble fields
Of our discarded skulls,
Each like a treasure, like a chrysalis,
Thinking: whatever left these husks
Flew off on bright wings.

AFTERNOON

The(se five invitations are my attempt to honor the lessons
I have learned sitting bedside with so many dying patients.
They are five mutually supportive principles, permeated with love.

Don't wait.
Welcome everything, push away nothing.
Bring your whole self to the experience.
Find a place of rest in the middle of things.
Cultivate don't know mind.

Joan Tollifson - Do we have a choice?
No wave can ever go off in a direction
other than the one in which the whole ocean is moving.
We are all a movement of the whole,
not isolated agents capable of going the wrong way....

...But this gets very subtle.
It doesn’t mean becoming passive,
or picking up the belief that “I” have no free will,
that “I” am a helpless robot
being pushed around by the universe.
That belief is still centered
around the idea of a separate entity,
a self, now believed to be powerless.
That is delusion.

Our urges, interests, actions
—and our sense of choice--
are all part of how life functions and moves.
And we are not separate from,
or other than,
life itself.

* RUMI'S VISITOR

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.

CASTLES IN THE AIR
Phil Long (aka Phievalon)

It feels good to know the truth
And it feels good to avoid delusion
And we humans have cornered the market
On building castles in the air.
We trace eternity with vanishing lines,
on rented wings,
through borrowed time,
Hoping to discover—that our lives really matter.
We look for truth as if it could make a difference.
As if it could add a hair to our heads
or a beat to our hearts.

We want answers
that aren't always behind the questions we ask
And we find that wanting to be loved
isn't quite the same, as loving to be wanted.
And so we settle,
for concrete castles,
though our vaporous souls bid us higher.

We have determined that infinity is measured
by cause and effect
We believe that miracles
must have reasons.
And so we seek for what we can hold
only to discover that we are held—by what we seek.

We are cosmic specks of eternity,
so brief that galaxies don't notice
We are an instant of awareness, perceiving,
We are hope;
A collision of particles
tasting meaning and purpose
And searching the stars for a possibility
with a question...
We ask "Why?"
and darkness answers
with empty echoes from space.

We ask "Why?"
and exploding silence
wrenches truth from mindless chaos.

We ask "Why?"
until open hearts
hear a voice that deafens...

We are miracles, in search of reasons.
But we reach into fractured rainbows
for monochrome mystery
We polish knowledge
as if wishing over enchanted lamps
We speak incantations of hope
into the senseless, churning void

But we are living souls;
breathing, material, madness,
And we have discovered that
It's good to know the truth
and it's good to avoid delusion
And we humans --
We’ve cornered the market on building
castles in the air.

Phil Long
(aka Phievalon)

If the only prayer you ever say
in your entire life is thank you,
it will be enough.
Meister Eckhart

No one looks for stars when the sun’s out.
A person blended into God does not disappear.
He, or she,
is just completely soaked in God’s qualities.
Rumi

The more a comet burns away,
the brighter it gets.
As it enters the atmosphere,
more and more of it flakes off and burns up.
Until there is only light.
This is our journey as a spirit
in a body over a lifetime.

As the years wear us down and burn us up,
we grow brighter.

Until at death,
we are all light.

AFTERNOON

The Challenge of Illness - John O'Donohue

We never value or even see some things in our lives
until we are just about to lose them.
This is particularly true of health.

When we are in good health,
we are so busy in the world
that we never even notice how well we are.

Illness comes and challenges everything about us.
It unmasks all pretense.
When you are really ill, you cannot mask it.

Illness also tests the inner fiber
and luminosity of the soul.
It is very difficult to take illness well.
Yet it seems that if
we treat illness as something external
that has singled us out,
and we battle and resist it,
the illness will refuse to leave.

On the other hand,
we must not identify ourselves
with our illness.
.....very ill people are often more alive
to life's possibilities
than the medical verdict
would ever allow or
imagine.

When we learn to see our illness
as a companion or friend,
it really does change the way the illness is present.
The illness changes from a horrible intruder
to a companion
who has something to teach us.

...Sometimes, when you see a thing as the enemy,
you only reinforce its presence
and power over you...

Held openly, as a friend,
this bit of unknown aliveness
may take you on an amazing journey
to places you may
never have anticipated.

Such attention enriches and
deepens genuineness and presence.

Illness also focuses us onto our "inner landscape",
into resting deeply in
the inner silence of the "Soul."

It is a remedial silence that allows us to endure,
to move through,
but not necessarily getting rid of the illness.
We can't have an agenda
- only deep acceptance of the companion -
and learn to navigate it.

John O'Donohue

"Be quiet in your mind,
quiet in your senses,
and also quiet in your body.
Then, when all these are quiet,
don't do anything.

In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
It will appear in front of you and ask,
" what do you want?"
Kabir

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

Where the lips are silent
the heart has a thousand tongues.
Rumi
https://inspirationfeed.com/rumi-quotes/

Life and death are both concepts,
the one being the absence of the other.
The sage ignores such transient concepts
and inheres in the noumenal presence
which is everything.

It is only matter that undergoes change or transformation and which is subject to birth or death,
while the noumenal presence
remains eternally changeless.

Step Through - Fred LaMotte
As you fall asleep tonight,
do not take this inhalation
for granted.
Honor her like a royal guest.

Make a spacious tent
of your flesh,
for She who contains
the galaxies
has come to dwell in you,
pouring her gift from the stars
down your backbone.

Each expiration will lead you
through a silver door,
a mirror of moonlight.
The key is silence.
Step through.

Follow her rainbow into the void
where wings of astonishment
will carry you from death to death.

A scent of blossoms
from the garden in your body
will guide you home,
enlarged by a memory
of stillness.

Neither come nor go
and She will lead you
from the mind to the Heart.

When I make things,
I know they are taken to be quiet and small.
I know there may be no place for them.
I know no one is waiting for them.
I know it may be that no one wants them.
But I must make them.
I must.

AFTERNOON

It is not uncommon for people
to spend their whole life waiting to start living.

The sun never sets.
It is only an appearance due
to the observer’s limited perspective.
And yet,
what a sublime illusion it is.

Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be.
Whatever the present moment contains,
accept it as if you had chosen it.

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you.
The secret of life is to
‘die before you die’--
and find that
there is no death.

Worry pretends to be necessary
but serves no useful purpose.

All negativity is caused
by an accumulation of psychological time
and denial of the present.

Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry
—all forms of fear--
are caused by too much future,
and not enough presence.

Guilt, regret, resentment,
grievances, sadness, bitterness,
and all forms of non-forgiveness
are caused by too much past,
and not enough presence.

Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness.

To recognize one’s own insanity is, of course,
the arising of sanity,
the beginning of healing and transcendence.

Realize deeply that the present moment
is all you will ever have.
