By all accounts
the ancients experienced themselves
as living with an ensouled world -
one thoroughly drenched
in perceptions of goodness and value.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/ensoul

Yolande Duran - Silence (3)

" I'm alive like never and I'm dead, at the same time.
This is a surprisingly present absence.
To live everything in peace, I fell into a deep astonishment and I left myself to do, more and more, more and more deeply.

This silence prevents you
from recreating yourself at every moment,
to interfere, to think, to project, to secrete this filter of the mind.

You feel more than you think.
The agitation remains on the outside.
On the inside, everything remains quiet.
No waste of energy.
The fact of perceiving things from another point of view,
not from me but from silence,
breeds great tranquility,
a great presence that nothing can disturb.

So a great efficiency.
The old reflex to identify with one's thoughts
is immediately swept away.

That energy loss that was before
comes from the identification with this agitation.
We believe in our thoughts.
We're involved, agree, don't agree, anxious, reactive.
We want, we don't want to, we plan, we evaluate.
We're actor of the movie.

Here we are a spectator.
We see the unfolding:
the one from the outside:
the people, the events that pass and that of the inside:
the thoughts, the emotions that pass too,
the same way.
There is not a "I" to say I am that thought,
I am that emotion.
There is no challenge.

And then, there is this flavor of silence...
a sweetness that is there, continuously.
There is no more that voice that judges you,
condemns you, submits you, that exhausts you.

There is no more that suffering,
those thoughts that command you to exist.
And even if, from time to time,
a thought appears, it's so sweet...
She makes you light.
There is no separation.

Everything is in fusion with everything else.
My body, my feeling, is what's closer,
but it's fused with everything else.
It's in the background.
This constant presence prevents you
from falling into the trap of complicity with your own thoughts...
so even less with those of others.

What is going to be done, in the moment,
will be,
will be said,
but it will not be the result of a knowledge,
an understanding.

It's that silence that knows.
It is the one who's doing it.
You let this fluidity act.
It was always here, even when you didn't perceive it.
It is here before everything that can appear at every moment.

It is the one who allows you to live what is.
You don't need to think your life.

It is this presence that allows the world to appear.
Everything that appears,
everything that exists
is there only because this silence is here "

AFTERNOON

When you are with everyone but me, you’re with no one.
When you are with no one but me, you’re with everyone.
Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone.
When you become that many, you’re nothing.
Empty.
~Rumi

SO WHAT IS THERE TO REALIZE?
Peonies bloom on peony trees.
A cat doesn’t become a chicken.
Tulips are tulips, not roses.
Why can’t we realize this true fact?
That to be me is great.
I don’t have to be anyone but me.

I am blooming as I am in my life, just as
a peony blooms on a peony tree.
Further, a beautiful peony flower does not
worry about when it will wilt and fall to the ground.
It does not compete with the flower next to it;
rather it blooms with its whole self.
~ Sensie Ogui, from Zen Shin Talks

Neither "Separate" nor "One" - Matt Licata

We are neither "separate" nor "one",
but the erupting holding field in which
the energies of "separate" and "one"
interpenetrate
and dance the relative into being.

Neither of these concepts
are majestic enough to contain the mystery of the soul.

Whilewe may have a preference over unity and oneness,
over multiplicity and differentiation,
it would appear that Love
does not share this bias
and is ready at all times
to equally employ either of its manifestations
to be its envoy here.

Those visitors of raw, achy, lonely, broken openness
are not neuroses to be cured
or mistakes to be remedied.

The shaky vulnerability is not pathology, it is path.
As our perception is cleansed,
we see that they are not obstacles,
but passionate, yearning requests
into the tending of the lost grief,
joy, rage and peace
of the unlived life.

The freedom we long for will never be found
in the eradication of the unwanted,
but only in deeper layers of attunement
to the
love and information it carries.

At times the burning can seem unbearable.
Such is the nature of the human heart.
We may burn until we are translucent,
but it is by way of this burning
that wholeness is revealed.

Matt Licata

This ‘passion’ to return
to the Awareness of the Light/Life You Are
must be greater than the need
for air by a drowning person.
Then, IT literally ‘seeks’ YOU,
which means IT is seeking the sleeping aspect of IT SELF
… when this occurs,
nothing can prevent the inevitable reunion.

The Trappist monk,
mystic and author Thomas Merton wrote of le point vierge
- the virgin point -
and described how there is "at the center of our being
a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion,
a point of pure truth,
a point or spark which belongs entirely to God...
which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind
or the brutalities of our own will".

Le point vierge is found in different forms
in the great wisdom traditions,
particularly in Sufism,
and it is from this tradition that
Thomas Merton developed his vision
of a point of pure truth.

This vision is also found in popular culture:
for instance in John Lennon's Imagine,
which
- in an unashamed hymn to le point vierge -
implores us to "imagine there is
no heaven..
no religion...
no countries..
no possessions".

This search for a point of nothingness
can be extended beyond faith traditions to cultural traditions,
and in an unstructured way I have in recent years
found myself exploring diverse overgrown paths
in search of the point
where dogma and conditioning disappear
and pure truth can be glimpsed.

At this central point
classical, sacred, world and all music fuse
into a single Nada Brahma,
and the great wisdom traditions
-- Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism --
coexist without conflict

Quotes Below in this font from:
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

In Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, where he (Thomas Merton) wrote:

At the center of our being is a point of nothingness
which is untouched by sin and by illusion,
a point of pure truth,
a point or spark which belongs entirely to God,
which is never at our disposal,
from which God disposes of our lives,
which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind
or the brutalities of our own will.

This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty
is the pure glory of God in us.
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

Reincarnation or not,
I am as tired of talking and writing
as if I had done it for centuries.
Now it is the time to listen at length to this Asian ocean.
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

The country which is nowhere is the real home.
His (Thomas Merton) real home was le point vierge,
the place in himself reserved only for God.

Perhaps I have an obligation to preserve the stillness,
the silence,
the poverty,
the virginal point of pure nothingness
which is at the center of all other loves.
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/

“What can we gain by sailing to the moon
if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?”
Merton asked.
“This is the most important of all voyages of discovery,
and without it all the rest are not only useless but disastrous.”

To update Merton’s question:
What can we gain by fixing climate change or ending poverty
or terraforming Mars if we remain alienated from ourselves?
How to cross that abyss?

Brother Leander:
You must let the prayer descend to your heart, laddie!

Brother Isidore:
Let us be silent before God who made us.

Brother Jerome:
You learn to talk to silence, and silence answers in silence.

The lesson was less about reacting to what the world was showing us
and more about creating our own rules for what we choose to experience.
The secret here is that our instructor was experiencing himself
from the perspective that he was already fixed
in one place on that mat.

In those moments,
he was living from the outcome of his meditation.

Until he chose
to break the chains in his imagination,
nothing could move him.
And that’s precisely what we found out.”

Let go of your mind and then be mindful.
Close your ears and listen!

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.
O traveller, if you are in search of that, don’t look outside,
look inside yourself and seek that..

You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.

YOU ARE THIS
Part - 3
John McIntosh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

YOU ARE THIS.

AFTERNOON

Eric Baret - Transmission

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

~ Rumi

The New Rule
Rumi

It's the old rule that drunks have to argue
and get into fights.
The lover is just as bad. he falls into a hole.
But down in that hole he finds something shining,
worth more than any amount of money or power.

Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street.
I took it as a sign to start singing,
falling up into the bowl of sky.
The bowl breaks.
Everywhere is falling everywhere.
Nothing else to do.

Here's the new rule: break the wineglass,
and fall toward the glassblower's breath.

Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.

Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
You're covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side.
Die, and be quiet.

Quietness is the surest sign
that you've died.
Your old life was a frantic running
from silence.
The speechless full moon
comes out now.

"I used to want buyers for my words.
Now I wish someone would buy me away from words.

I've made a lot of charmingly profound images,
scenes with Abraham, and Abraham's father, Azar,
who was also famous for icons.

I'm so tired of what I've been doing.

Then one image without form came,
and I quit.

Look for someone else to tend the shop.
I'm out of the image-making business.

Finally I know the freedom
of madness.

A random image arrives. I scream,
"Get out!" It disintegrates.

Only love.
Only the holder the flag fits into, and wind.
No flag. "

~ Rumi

AFTERNOON

If you want to perceive and understand objectively,
just don't allow yourself
to be confused by people.

Detach from whatever
you find inside or outside yourself -
detach from religion, tradition, and society,
and only then will you attain liberation.

When you're not entangled in things,
you pass through freely...

Lin Chi
Buddhist

All explanations are myths
whose truth-value we assign subjectively.

They are true only
insofar as we say that they are true.

They are stories we conjure up and tell ourselves
in order to make sense of the disconnected,
context-free phantasmagoria of present perception.

It makes no sense to proclaim any explanation
for the present to be objectively true...

Bernardo Kastrup
Philosopher
More Than Allegory

Put thoughts to rest.
The real being, with no status,
is always going in and out through the doors of your face.

If you want to be free,
get to know your real self.
It has no form, no appearance, no root, no basis, no abode,
but is lively and buoyant.

It responds with versatile facility, but its function cannot be located.
Therefore when you look for it you become further from it,
when you seek it you turn away from it all the more.

Just put thoughts to rest and don't seek outwardly anymore.
When things come up, then give them your attention;
just trust what is functional in you at present,
and you have nothing to be concerned about.

If you want to perceive and understand objectively,
just don't allow yourself to be confused by people.

Detach from whatever you find inside or outside yourself –
detach from religion, tradition, and society,
and only then will you attain liberation.
When you are not entangled in things,
you pass through freely to autonomy.

Oh soul-
You worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.

Of anything less-
why do you worry?
You are in truth-
the soul,
of the soul,
of the soul.

Sama - Rumi
What is deep listening?

Sama is a greeting from the secret ones inside the heart,
a letter. The branches of your "intelligence" grow
new leaves inhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Bwrz9AAAGhH/
The body reaches a peace.

Rooster sound comes, reminding you of your love
for dawn. The reed flute and thin singer's lips:
the knack of how spirit breathes into us
becomes as simple and ordinary as
eating and drinking.

Listen, and feel the beauty of the
unsayable...

Give more of your life to this listening.
As brightness is to time, so are you to
the one who talks to the deep ear in
your chest.

I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand
ears when that one steps near and begins to speak.
Rumi
Excerpt from - The Glance
Coleman Barks version
via The Beauty We Love
~
Sama is the quality of calmness and tranquility
of the mind...It is deep listening as a way
of connecting with the Divine

https://mysticmeandering.blogspot.com/2019/04/sama-rumi.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MysticMeandering+%28Mystic+Meandering%29

This silence, this moment, every moment,
if it's genuinely inside you,
brings what you need

There's nothing to believe.
Only when I stopped believing in myself
did I come into this beauty.

Sit quietly,
and listen for a voice that will say,
'Be more silent.'

Die and be quiet.

Quietness is the surest sign that you've died.
Your old life was a frantic running from silence.
Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.

Live in silence.
Rumi

AFTERNOON

With passion pray.
With passion make love.
With passion eat and drink and dance and play.
Why look like a dead fish in this ocean of God?
Rumi

All religions, all this singing, one song.
The differences are just illusion and vanity.
The sun’s light looks a little different
on this wall than it does on that wall,
and a lot different on this other one,
but it’s still one light.
Rumi

Close the door of words
that the window of your heart may open.
To see what cannot be seen
turn your eyes inward
and listen, in silence.
~ Rumi

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 all!
Even if they're 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 whomever comes,
because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi

EVERYTHING IS HANDLED
JOHN MCINTOSH

The false self cannot conceive
of LIFE taking care of everything.
It believes something must be done,
effort must be exerted,
agendas, activities, actions, plans, schemes
must be exercised so that results will ensue,
and it will be cared for
… and hopefully it will thrive and enjoy itself and have wonderful experiences.

This is the lament of the personal identity
which is due to its belief that it is basically alone,
a victim of circumstances
in a dog-eat-dog world.

And yet in the Stillness of your True Reality
EVERYTHING is handled Perfectly
if this personal ‘you’ stays out of the way.

This ‘is’ occurring anyway
but the false self produces endless detours
through its interference,
always laden with struggle, pain, frustration
and the feeling that is has
‘some’ degree of control ...
… it has NONE,
no control over anything whatsoever because,
“of itself it is nothing”.

There is no need at all to tell the God-SELF
what you ‘think’ you need
or ‘how’ to provide it for you.

Whatever is Perfect for your highest good
[which is always and only your return HOME],
is happening with every breath
and there ‘is’ nothing you can do
to interfere with this.

Rest in this ‘knowing’
and watch LIFE perform
what you may now think of
as miracles and yet …
... are normal.

If you want to live, die in Love.

We must become so alone,
so utterly alone,
that we withdraw into our innermost self.
It is a way of bitter suffering.

But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone,
for we find that our innermost self is the spirit,
that it is God, the indivisible. .....

.....And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world,
yet undisturbed by its multiplicity,
for our innermost soul
we know ourselves to be one with all being.
— Hermann Hesse

The Deepest Silence
- John Roger Barrie

The eloquence of the deepest silence echoes from the eternal.
Originating there and reverberating
through the ripples of time and space.
It bursts forth in shimmering waves, forming light
and color, shadow, and dimension.
But it remains unchanged.

Never affected by the slightest permutation of outer phenomenon,
silence interweaves the temporal
but is forever untouched by it.

Ever abiding within and without,
overlaid with the mutable
patchwork garment we know as the visible universe,
silence forms
the woof and warp of all things seen and unseen.
Yet at any instant
it is immanent and accessible.

To the mystic,
silence is the ground,
the core of reality.

All else relates to and emanates from it.

The deeper elements in all religions point to this silence.
It is God,
it is Buddha; it is Allah.
But, to paraphrase Lao Tzu,
to name it is to elude its essence.
It can only be experienced.

How can we not experience that which always
envelops and permeates us?
Merely affirming its existence will not garner for us
its experiential realization.
It is spiritual practice [like meditation]
that provides us with the means to fine tune our faculties
so that we perceive it for ourselves.

Such practice enables us, in due course,
to experience a blistering,
conscious realization of silence
that
suffuses the core of our being.

By embarking on the spiritual path,
an aspirant is attempting to encounter silence firsthand.
This is the quintessential journey in life - the inner sojourn.
It is returning to a source long ago forgotten
but often glimpsed unawares.

Recapturing that which flitters on the
periphery of awareness is the goal of the mystic.

The mystic consciously dives into silence, at first unfelt.
With repeated practice it becomes
a living, palpable Presence
filled with immeasurable
vitality and boundless,
nondual continuity.

But what causes this
gradual revelation?

First we need to discover why we do not experience silence.
The simplest answer is that we are habituated to noise.
We are addicted to novelty, sensation, to ourselves.
Fuss and commotion,
mental chattering and outer stimulation
occupy our minds from
dawn to dusk.

The twentieth-century Japanese Zen master Nan-in
rightly noted that we are overflowing
with our own ideas and opinions.
When one is clattering away
on a keyboard sixteen hours every day,
the capacious pockets of silence are kept well at bay.
We thereby deafen ourselves to the
underlying silence we would
otherwise clearly hear.

By intentionally quieting our restless minds
and calling a temporary
halt to the random noise
- inner and outer -
to which we are subject,
we create an environment conducive to
the manifestation of silence.
Welling up from within,
this silence subtly engulfs us,
drowning out
all the noise of existence.

New Chicks in Abandoned Garden Lot

When constantly engaged at the forefront of our minds,
our awareness restlessly flutters about
from thought to thought,
sensation to sensation,
thus pushing out silence.

(...continuing this AFTERNOON ...)

AFTERNOON

The effort required to break
through the surface waves of the mind
forges an inward path
to the deepest levels of silence.
When deliberately sustained....
this inner drilling displaces the obfuscatory debris
that clutters the mind
with a matrix of noise.

When all mental ruminations are at last
exhausted, genuine silence emerges.

But, many prefer the comfort of noise,
the bustling of crowds,
the constant engagement of
new thoughts and interesting repartee.

To embrace silence means splicing off
a certain arena of the familiar and venturing
into uncharted territories.
While one may fruitfully participate
in communal spiritual activities,
quite often the deeper stages of this voyage
are undertaken
by oneself.

To keep the mind occupied with external concerns
is to point the inner compass in an outward direction.
This is the most subtle trap
to which the feeble mind continually succumbs.

For to interact constantly with the objects of the senses
is to eclipse entirely the realm of silence,
which is first experienced within.
When repeatedly accessed,
the decibel level of true silence will deafen
the resolute mystic.

Every elusive yet all pervading,
silence is known by those who take the leap.
The adventuresome hiker seeks areas untrampled
by the masses.

The successful inner voyager treks to the precipice,
and then, having encountered the Unknowable,
brazenly discards map and
compass and boldly treads onward.

The yearning heart echoes the
cry that seized the Psalmist:

"Be still and know that I am God."

John Roger Barrie

Chapter 18
The Master

1
Love your true Self,
Which is naturally happy
And peaceful and bright!

Awaken to your own nature,
And all delusion melts like a dream.

2
How much pleasure you take
In acquiring worldly goods!

But to find happiness
You must give them all up.

3
The sorrows of duty,
Like the heat of the sun,
Have scorched your heart.

But let stillness fall on you
With its sweet and cooling showers,
And you will find happiness.

4
For the world is nothing.
It is only an idea.

But the essence of what is
And of what is not
Can never fail.

5
The Self is always the same,
Already fulfilled,
Without flaw or choice or striving.

Close at hand,
But boundless.

6
When the Self is known,
All illusions vanish.

The veil falls,
And you see clearly.

Your sorrows are dispelled.

7
For the Self is free
And lives forever.

Everything else is imagination,
Nothing more!

Because he understands this,
The master acts like a child.

8
When you know you are God
And that what is and what is not
Are both imaginary,
And you are at last free of desire,
Then what is there left
To know or to say or to do?

9
For the Self is everything.

When the seeker knows this,
He falls silent.

He no longer thinks,
"I am this, I am not that."

Such thoughts melt away.

10
He is still.

Without pleasure or pain,
Distraction or concentration,
Learning or ignorance.

11
His nature is free of conditions.

Win or lose,
It makes no difference to him.

Alone in the forest or out in the world,
A god in heaven or a simple beggar,
It makes no difference!

12
He is free of duality.

Wealth or pleasure,
Duty or discrimination
Mean nothing to him.

What does he care
What is accomplished or neglected?

13
Finding freedom in this life,
The seeker takes nothing to heart,
Neither duty nor desire.

He has nothing to do
But to live out his life.

14
The master lives beyond the boundaries of desire.
Delusion or the world,

Meditation on the truth,
Liberation itself--
What are they to him?

15
You see the world
And you try to dissolve it.

But the master has no need to.
He is without desire.

For though he sees,
He sees nothing.

Continuing last 5 Verses this Afternoon

AFTERNOON

16
When you have seen God
You meditate on Him,
Saying to yourself, "I am He."

But when you are without thought
And you understand there is only one,
Without a second,
On whom can you meditate?

17
When you are distracted,
You practice concentration.

But the master is undistracted.

He has nothing to fulfill.
What is there left for him to accomplish?

18
He acts like an ordinary man.
But inside he is quite different.

He sees no imperfection in himself,
Nor distraction,
Nor any need for meditation.

19
He is awake,
Fulfilled,
Free from desire.

He neither is nor is not.

He looks busy,
But he does nothing.

20
Striving or still,
He is never troubled.

He does whatever comes his way,
And he is happy.

from Rumi:

All day I think about it, then at night I say it.
Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing?
I have no idea.
My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that,
And I intend to end up there.

This drunkenness began in some other tavern.
When I get back around to that place,
I'll be completely sober. Meanwhile,
I'm like a bird from another continent, sitting in this aviary.
The day is coming when I fly off,
But who is it now in my ear who hears my voice?
Who says words with my mouth?

Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul?
I cannot stop asking.
If I could taste one sip of an answer,
I could break out of this prison for drunks.
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.

This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
I don't plan it.
When I'm outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.

We have a huge barrel of wine, but no cups.
That's fine with us. Every morning
We glow and in the evening we glow again.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

The way of love is not a subtle argument.
The door there is devastation.

Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom.
How do they learn that?

They fall, and falling,
they’re given wings.

11
And the man who is free
Always lives in his heart.
His heart is always pure.

Whatever happens,
He is free of all desires.

12
Whatever he sees or hears or touches,
Whatever he smells or tastes,
Whatever he acquires,
He is free.

Free from striving,
And from stillness.

For indeed he is a great soul.

13
Without blame or praise,
Anger or rejoicing.

He gives nothing.
He takes nothing.

He wants nothing,
Nothing at all.

14
And whoever draws near him,
A woman full of passion
Or Death Himself,
He is not shaken.

He stays in his heart.

He is free indeed!

15
It is all the same to him.
Man or woman,
Good fortune or bad,
Happiness or sorrow.

It makes no difference.
He is serene.

16
The world no longer holds him.
He has gone beyond
The bounds of human nature.

Without compassion
Or the wish to harm,
Without pride or humility.

Nothing disturbs him.
Nothing surprises him.

17
Because he is free,
He neither craves nor disdains
The things of the world.

He takes them as they come.

His mind is always detached.

18
His mind is empty.
He is not concerned with meditation,
Or the absence of it,
Or the struggle between good and evil.

He is beyond all,
Alone.

19
No "I,"
No "mine."

He knows there is nothing.

All his inner desires have melted away.

Whatever he does,
He does nothing.

20
His mind has stopped working!

It has simply melted away. . .

And with it,
Dreams and delusions and dullness.

And for what he has become,
There is no name.

AFTERNOON

The only problem with human beings is that they are arrogant,
because that’s what thinking is.
This is in essence ‘I know’.
Wisdom is being in the void.
To be thoughtless.

Only by being in the void can the Light come through.
As long as I have something going on in my mind
the Light can’t come through.
The Light can only come in when the mind is cleared
–in a state of silence.

You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.

You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary,
and the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.

It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
—Franz Kafka

Give up to grace.
The ocean takes care of each wave ‘til
it gets to shore.
You need more help than you know.

“ So what is Christ saying
about how we meet the challenges
of our physical needs?
To

from the outpouring
that
touches us of the foundation of existence.”

Desire

1
Striving and craving,
For pleasure or prosperity,
These are your enemies,
Springing up to destroy you
From the presumptions of virtue.

Let them all go.
Hold on to nothing.

2
Every good fortune,
Wives, friends, houses, lands,
All these gifts and riches. . .

They are a dream,
A juggling act,
A traveling show!

A few days, and they are gone.

3
Consider.
Wherever there is desire,
There is the world.

With resolute dispassion
Free yourself from desire,
And find happiness.

4
Desire binds you,
Nothing else.
Destroy it, and you are free.

Turn from the world.
Fulfill yourself,
And find lasting happiness.

5
You are one.
You are pure awareness.

The world is not real.
It is cold and lifeless.

Nor is ignorance real.
So what can you wish to know?

6
Life after life you indulged In different forms,
Different pleasures,
Sons and kingdoms and wives.

Only to lose them all. . .

7
Enough of the pursuit of pleasure,
Enough of wealth and righteous deeds!

In the dark forest of the world
What peace of mind can they bring you?
How you have toiled,

8
How you have toiled,
Life after life,
Pressing into painful labor
Your body and your mind and your words.

It is time to stop.

AFTERNOON

Fellow travelers of interior wealth, richness, and meaning
Matt Licata

While the desire for transformation is natural, noble, and honorable,
if we are not careful it can serve as a powerful reminder
and expression of the painful realities of materialism and self-abandonment.
One of the shadow sides of seeking
and the (seemingly) endless project of self-improvement
is that we never slow down enough to digest what we have already been given,
which is often much more than we consciously realize.
Which, in some sense, is everything.

Not the “everything” the mind thinks it needs to be happy and fulfilled,
found by way of a journey of internal and external consumerism.
Not the “everything” that conforms to our fantasies of power, control,
“mastery,” and safe from the possibility that our heart can break
and our world can reorganize anew in any moment.
But the “everything” that is already here as part of our true nature,
the raw materials for a life of purpose and meaning,
revealed by way of slowness and humility,
not unconscious acquisition.

In Tibetan tradition,
there is an image of the hungry ghost,
a figure of the imaginal realms with a large distended belly and tiny mouth.
No matter how much food (experience) is consumed,
there is a deep ache and longing for more.
Regardless of how much is taken in there remains an insatiable hunger.
Because this one is not able to make use of or enjoy what is given,
a primordial hole is left behind which can never seem to be filled.

The invitation as this one appears is to slow way down
and to send breath, awareness, and warmth directly into the hole,
infusing it with curiosity and presence,
and tend to what is already here,
not what is missing and may come by way of further procurement.

To listen to the heartbeat within,
the heartbeat of the earth,
the heartbeat of the stars.
To attune to the drum of the holy reverberating
within a nervous system and body that is open, ripe, and sacred.

The willingness to fully digest our own vulnerability, tenderness,
confusion, suffering, and joy
is an act of love and fierce, revolutionary kindness.
There are soul-nutrients
buried in the food of our embodied experience
that yearn to be integrated, metabolized, and assimilated
in the flame of the heart.
But this digestion requires the enzymes
of presence, embodiment, and compassion,
and a curiosity about what is here now.

May we all slow down and become mindful
of the ways we seek to fill the empty hole in the center,
whether it be with food when we’re not hungry
or experience when we are already full.

And in this way we can walk lightly
together in this world, on this precious planet,
not as hungry ghosts desperate to be fed, but as
fellow travelers of interior wealth,
richness,
and meaning.

In the morning as the storm begins to blow away
the clear sky appears for a moment and it seems to me
that there has been something simpler
than I could ever believe

simpler than I could have begun to find words for
not patient not even waiting no more hidden
than the air itself that became part of me for a while
with every breath and remained with me unnoticed

something that was here unnamed unknown in the days
and the nights not separate from them
not separate from them as they came and were gone
it must have been here neither early nor late then
by what name can I address it now holding out my thanks

AFTERNOON

say i am you

I am dust particles in sunlight.
I am the round sun.
To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.
I am morning mist,
and the breathing of evening.
I am wind in the top of a grove,
and surf on the cliff.

Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,
I am also the coral reef they founder on.
I am a tree with a trained parrot in its branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.

the musical air coming through a flute,
a spark of stone, a flickering in metal.
Both candle and the moth crazy around it.
Rose, and the nightingale lost in the fragrance.

I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
the evolutionary intelligence, the lift, and the falling away.
What is, and what isn’t.

You who know, Jelaluddin,
You the one in all, say who I am.
Say I am you.

You embrace some form
saying, “I am this.”
By God, you are not this
or that or the other

you are “Unique One”
“Heart-ravishing”
You are throne and palace and king;
You are bird and snare and fowler.
As water in jar and river are in essence the same,
You are spirit, are the same.
You, every idol prostrates before;
Your every thought-form perishes in your formlessness.
–Rumi

Look at your feet.
You are standing in the sky.
When we think of the sky, we tend to look up,
but the sky actually begins at the earth.

We walk through it, yell into it, rake leaves,
wash the dog, and drive cars in it.

We breathe it deep within us.

With every breath,
we inhale millions of molecules of sky,
heat them briefly,
and then exhale them back into the world.

Appreciation and love, and alignment to that which is Source,
is the ultimate “giving back,” so to speak,
for in your pain or struggle,
you have nothing to give back.

What you are living is always an exact replication
of your vibrational patterns of thought.

Nothing could be more fair
than life as you are living it,
for as you are thinking,
you are vibrating,
and as you are vibrating,
you are attracting--
and so you are always getting back
the essence of what you are giving.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If our action is not consistent
with the soul’s desire, we lose energy.
Ennui may set in.
James Hollis – Swamplands of the Soul

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TRUTH OF BEING UNLEASHED
…EVEN SILENTLY…
PARTS ALL RED SEAS OF HORROR
LIES AND DECEIT
ew
3:19 AM-1/12/19

"I am upset beause i see a meaningless world."
What is meaningless is neither good nor bad.
Why, then, should a meaningless world upset you?
If you could accept the world as meaningless
and let the truth be written upon it for you,
it would make you indescribably happy.
But because it is meaningless,
you are impelled to write upon it
what you would have it be.
It is this you see in it.
It is this that is meaningless in truth.

Beneath your words is written the Word of God.
The truth upsets you now,
but when your words have been erased,
you will see His.
That is the ultimate purpose of these exercises.

Look unto Me, for I in the midst of you am your bread, your staff of life.
You need not earn your bread by the sweat of your brow.
Work, but enjoy it.
Work, and love it, but never feel dependent on it for your living,
for I am living you:
I am your living.
~Joel S Goldsmith
A PARENTHESIS IN ETERNITY

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you;
that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things,
may abound to every good work.
II Corinthians 9:8 (KJV)
www.iwso.org/thedailylesson.htm

Outside, the freezing desert night.
this other night grows warm, kindling.
Let the landscape be covered with thorny crust.
We have a soft garden in here.

The continents blasted,
cities and towns, everything
becomes a scorched, blackened ball.

The news we hear is full of grief for that future,
but the real news inside here
is there's no news at all.
~Rumi
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/01/12/28794/

AFTERNOON

unnameable

There is no where in you a paradise that is no place and there
You do not enter except without a story.

To enter there is to become unnameable.
Whoever is nowhere is nobody,
and therefore cannot exist except as unborn:
No disguise will avail him anything.

Such a one is neither lost nor found.

But he who has an address is lost.
They fall, they fall into apartments and are securely established!
They find themselves in streets. They are licensed
To proceed from place to place
They now know their own names
They can name several friends and know
Their own telephones must some time ring.

If all telephones ring at once,
if all names are shouted at once
and all cars crash at one crossing:
If all cities explode and fly away in dust
Yet identities refuse to be lost. There is a name and a number for everyone.
There is a definite place for bodies, there are pigeon holes for ashes:
Such security can business buy!

Who would dare to go nameless in so secure a universe?
Yet, to tell the truth, only the nameless are at home in it.

They bear with them in the center of nowhere
the unborn flower of nothing:
This is the paradise tree.
It must remain unseen until words end and arguments are silent.

~ Thomas Merton
from The Selected Poems of Thomas Merton
http://beautywelove.blogspot.com/2011/01/fall.html

Just state the fact!
Don't think of anything as a curse or a blessing.
Don't interpret it,
and suddenly you will see
that everything is beautiful.

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
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2019/01/08/28769/

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

has never said a word."

COME GENTLY, DEAREST ONE

THERE HAS BEEN,
AND IS,
GREAT PURPOSE FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE.

GUTTED, SEASONED, MARINATED
LEFT FOR ROADKILL BY BRUTALITIES,
MORE TIMES THAN YOU CAN REMEMBER

YET SOMETHING MORE CONTINUES TO BREATHE YOU.

THAT SOMETHING MORE CAN NEVERDIE
NOR WAS IT EVER BORN.
IT SIMPLY IS

IT IS ENERGY OR LIFE THAT IS GREATER
THAN HUMAN MIND CAN FATHOM
IT IS BEYOND WORDS AND THOUGHTS
IT IS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER YOUR LIFE IN FORM
IT SIMPLY IS

REMEMBER THE TIMES YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED
SHOULD HAVE BECOME SEVERELY INJURED
OR ALMOST KILLED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE

THAT SAME SOMETHING MORE BROUGHT YOU THRU.
IT SIMPLY IS

WHATEVER THE BRUTALITY
IT CAME TO INVITE YOU TO REMEMBER AND BE
WHO YOU TRULY ARE......:

...A SPARK OF THE DIVINE LOVE
THAT CAN NEVER DIE
THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO FORGIVE
BECAUSE IT NEVER JUDGES
IT SIMPLY IS
YOU ARE THAT.

EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY
EVERY ASPECT OF CONSCIOUSNESS
HAS MEMORY OF ALL THAT HAS EVER OCCURRED
SINCE BEFORE TIME.

THE PURE LOVE THAT YOU TRULY ARE
HAS DIVINE IMPERSONAL COMPASSION
FOR ALL THAT IS.

AFTERNOON

THE EVERSHINING OF DIVINE LOVE
OVERFLOWING FROM YOUR BEING THRU THE SCAR TISSUE
IS RECEIVED BY THOSE LIFE FORMS WHO MOST NEED THIS....

THIS IS HAPPENING WITH OR WITHOUT
LIFE FORMS' CONSCIOUS AWARENESS
WITHOUT WORDS OR THOUGHTS

THIS IS SO...
DUE TO COSMIC GRACE
DUE TO TRUTH OF BEING'S EVERSHINING
LIFE BECOMES LOVE'S EFFORTLESS EASE

THERE HAS BEEN,
AND IS,
GREAT PURPOSE FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE.
ALLOW ANY PAINFUL MEMORIES TO
COMPOST....
...SLOUGHED TO BECOME
THE FERTILE SOIL OF YOUR BEING

THEY ARE NO LONGER ROTTING, DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHT FORMS
BUT ONLY THE DIVINELY COMPOSTED FUEL
FOR EVERSHINING'S BLOSSOMING AND OVERFLOW.

..COME GENTLY, DEAREST ONE
INTO THE TRUTH OF YOUR BEING...

....IT ALREADY IS
AND ALL OF LIFE
BECOMES

All quotes below in this font from:
https://upliftconnect.com/mahamudra-ultimate-buddhist-meditation/

The truth that transcends the intellect will not be seen by means of the intellect. The point of non-action will not be reached by means of deliberate action.
If you want to achieve the point of non-action transcending thought,
sever the root of mind itself and
rest in naked awareness!

Mahamudra says that the truth of no-self or the truth of emptiness
is actually who you are before you fabricate a false identity,
so just relax and be the truth of who you are
and stop making stuff up.
Relaxing in the truth of your being
cuts the root of all the ignorance
that causes suffering
and liberates you without effort.
There are no other added ingredients required.

As Rumi says,
“What you are seeking is what is doing the seeking.”
You are what you are searching for.
Just learn to stop fabricating stories about who you are
and rest in the unfabricated truth.
Stop selfing and start being.
Selfing is the ongoing action
of creating a false self identity.

Your mind is formless and space-like without any boundaries whatsoever.

"RING THE BELLS WHILE THEY STILL CAN RING"
Leonard Cohen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wRYjtvIYK0
9:33 minutes

Lyrics:
The birds they sang at the break of day
Start again I seem to hear them say
Do not dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be.

Ah the wars they will be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold and bought again
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

We asked for signs and the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood of every single government
signs for all to see

I can't run no more with that lawless crowd
Ah but they've summoned,
they've summoned up a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

You can add up the parts but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march on your little broken drum
Every heart, every heart to love will come
but like a refugee

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

A spectacular link with 300 wonderful Pearls from Rumi

Let the waters settle
and you will see the moon and the stars
mirrored in your own being.

You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.

Put your thoughts to sleep,
do not let them cast a shadow
over the moon of your heart.
Let go of thinking.

Doing as others told me, I was blind.
Coming when others called me, I was lost.
Then I left everyone, myself as well.
Then I found everyone, myself as well.

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body,
seek that mine.
O traveller, if you are in search of that,
don’t look outside,
look inside yourself and seek that.

Achieve some perfection yourself,
so that you may not fall into sorrow
by seeing the perfection in others.

We can’t help being thirsty,
moving toward the voice of water.

This is how it always is when I finish a poem.
A great silence overcomes me
and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.

may you shine as golden space
by miriam louisa

May your Solstice be pure gold.
May it bring the healing that enables
full immersion in non-conceptual wholeness.
May you shine as golden space.
(miriam louisa)

We are the children of this beautiful planet
that we have lately seen photographed from the moon.

We were not delivered into it by some god,
but have come forth from it.

We are its eyes and mind, its seeing and its thinking.
And the earth, together with the sun,
this light around which it flies like a moth,
came forth, we are told, from a nebula; and that nebula,
in turn, from space.

So that we are the mind, ultimately, of space …
each in his own way at one with all,
and with no horizons.
– Joseph Campbell

Later … I opened my eyes with wonder
and the sky had utterly changed again
and was no longer dark but bright, golden, gold-dust golden,
as if curtain after curtain had been removed
behind the stars I had seen before,
and now I was looking into the vast interior of the universe,
as if the universe were quietly turning itself inside out.

Stars behind stars and stars behind stars behind stars
until there was nothing between them,
nothing beyond them,
but dusty dim gold of stars and no space and no light but stars.
The moon was gone.

The water lapped higher, nearer, touching the rock so lightly
it was audible only as a kind of vibration.
The sea had fallen dark, in submission to the stars.

And the stars seemed to move as if one could see
the rotation of the heavens as a kind of vast crepitation,
only now there were no more events,
no shooting stars, no falling stars,
which human senses could grasp or even conceive of.

All was movement, all was change,
and somehow this was visible
and yet unimaginable.

And I was no longer I
but something pinned down as an atom,
an atom of an atom,
a necessary captive spectator,
a tiny mirror into which it was all indifferently beamed,
as it motionlessly seethed and boiled,
gold behind gold behind gold.
– Iris Murdoch’s character Charles Arrowby in The Sea, The Sea

Now that I see in Mind, I see myself to be the All.
I am in heaven and on earth, in water and in air.
I am in beasts and plants.
I am a babe in the womb and one that is not yet conceived
and one that has been born,
I am present everywhere.
– Upanishads

But do not think my heart is still on earth!
Don't weep and pity me: "Oh woe, how awful!"
You fall in devil's snare - woe, that is awful!

Don't cry "Woe, parted!" at my burial -
For me this is the time of joyful meeting!
Don't say "Farewell!" when I'm put in the grave -
A curtain is it for eternal bliss.

You saw "descending" - now look at the rising!
Is setting dangerous for sun and moon?
To you it looks like setting, but it's rising;
The coffin seems a jail, yet it means freedom.

Which seed fell in the earth that did not grow there?
Why do you doubt the fate of human seed?
What bucket came not filled from out the cistern?
Why should the Yusaf "Soul" then fear this well?

Close here your mouth and open it on that side.
So that your hymns may sound in Where-no-place!
Rumi
http://nomindsland.blogspot.com/2018/12/rumi-wedding-night.html

Ever elusive yet all pervading,
silence is known by those who take the leap.

The adventuresome hiker seeks areas untrampled by the masses.

The successful inner voyager
treks to the precipice,
and then,
having encountered the Unknowable,
brazenly discards map and compass
and boldly treads onward.

The yearning heart echoes the cry that seized the Psalmist:
“Be still and know that I am God.”

The knowing mystic,
seized with a searing nondual vision,
confidently answers back,
“Be silent and know that you, too, are God.”
John Roger Barrie

Transcending Possession TAKE NO THOUGHT "...become an ocean,.." December 19, 2018

TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR THE BEHAVIORS OF AN OTHER’S FORM
ANY MORE THAN YOU CONCERN YOURSELF WITH DAILY MEAT AND SUSTENANCE…
YOU HAVE LEARNED TO KNOW ONLY ME, AND DAILY NEEDS ARE PROVIDED.
THIS TOOK YOU QUITE A TIME TO REMEMBER…
AND NOW YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS WITH ALL OTHER PEOPLE ON EARTH…
ESPECIALLY WITH THE HOLY GIFT…

AS YOU HAVE REMEMBERED IT WELL WITH ALL OTHERS,
NOW LIVE IT WITH HIM
RELEASE HIM, AND ALL,
FROM ALL THOUGHT OF EXPECTATION…

BY SIMPLY KNOWING, BEYOND AWARENESS, WHAT I HAVE GIVEN TO YOU,
IT COMES INTO FORM IN DIVINE TIME…
THERE IS NO NEED TO PUSH THE RIVER
OR ATTEMPT TO BRING ABOUT PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION…
ANY ATTEMPTS BY YOU ONLY IMPEDE MY MOVEMENT

Leaving manhood behind, there's no doubt you'll become an angel;
The earth you'll leave then, and head for Heaven.
Transcending the angel,
become an ocean,
whose each drop will be larger than the countless Seas of Oman.

– abandon, surrender, give up, all claims of personal doership,
all stories of trauma, blame and fault,
all rights to fruits of actions (especially those applauded),
all possessions that are subject to change…

refuse to take any hierarchical, authoritative position,
or allow others to sign one up.

(Which is not to abdicate responsibility,
but to be perfectly placed –
in choiceless awareness
– to act in the instant.)

give up the habit of pretending to be an unawakened ‘me’.
It’s entirely dishonest.

– and in the Life Game, fail to follow, always.
Repeat – fail to follow.
The lifemap wearing one’s name is unique –
a one-off
– its unfolding exquisitely designed
according to Life’s unknowable agenda
(and being a groupie is always a self-betrayal).

AFTERNOON

Man is seeking for phenomena,
he wants wonderworking, communication with ghosts or spirits,
he is looking for something complex,
and yet the simplest thing
and the most valuable thing in life
is to find one's true self.

from https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIV/XIV_2_21.htm

Can you keep your soul in its body,
hold fast to the one,
and so learn to be whole?
Can you center your energy,
be soft, tender,
and so learn to be a baby?

Can you keep the deep water still and clear,
so it reflects without blurring?
Can you love people and run things,
and do so by not doing?

Opening, closing the Gate of Heaven,
can you be like a bird with her nestlings?
Piercing bright through the cosmos,
can you know by not knowing?

To give birth, to nourish,
to bear and not to own,
to act and not lay claim,
to lead and not to rule:
this is mysterious power.
~Lao Tzu
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2018/12/19/28652/

There is a primal
Source of light by which
Everything is seen.
Those who have understood, know that
They are That.
Wu Hsin
Also quoted here:
https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/evershining-overflow-savage-creativity-sunriseafternoon-nov-25-2017

How can light find darkness?
Darkness is merely
The absence of light.
How can one find one's source?
One's source is revealed in
The absence of one's self.
Wu Hsin

Light is there,
Darkness is there.
What holds them?
In what do they reside?
The solution to this mystery is
The solution to your own mystery.

A man once asked Rumi, "Why is it you talk so much about silence?"
His answer: "The radiant one inside me has never said a word.

― Coleman Barks
The Soul of Rumi: A New Collection of Ecstatic Poems

All quotes below in this font from Ram Dass
Link for these at end of Read More below Afternoon Photos

Only that in you which is me
can hear what I'm saying.

I dropped into my soul
and left my ego behind.

Being here now—when a stroke
has happened this is what I AM.
This is aging…WOW!

It’s all new…AH!
When comparing past and present,
we are NOT living in the present.

Send love to any ache or pain…
when you are in soul
you see physical body hasn’t
much to do with you…like having an old Ford

Identify with one another via souls..NOT our bodies…
When you identify with soul, then other people
look like souls and love one another.

Love everybody
…judging mind doesn’t allow that…
Love everybody and tell the truth.

In aging, we’re content…
Just Here..
…then you delve into the moment.
Moment has no time or space
The moment when your baby is born – Wow!
Just this moment…this moment is precious…
No time. No space
In the moment……is GOD…
…is your guru….and you…
In this moment.

AFTERNOON

Who can free himself from achievement
And from fame, descend and be lost
Amid the masses of men?

He will flow like Tao, unseen,
He will go about like Life itself
With no name and no home.

Simple is he, without distinction.
To all appearances he is a fool.

His steps leave no trace.
He has no power.
He achieves nothing,
has no reputation.

Since he judges no one
No one judges him.
Such is the perfect man:
His boat is empty.

THE MOST EFFORTLESS EASE STATE OF GRACE
REGARDLESS OF PHYSICAL WORLD CIRCUMSTANCES

BALM OF GILEAD*
ew
2:12 AM-12/16/18

*"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! – prophet still, if bird or devil! --
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted --
On this home by Horror haunted – tell me truly, I implore --
"Is there – is there balm in Gilead? – tell me – tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."
Edgar Allen Poe-1845
Poe said the raven is meant to symbolize
"Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance".
The Raven
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raven
****
"This is the Balm of Gilead –
the willingness to allow ourselves to be poured out
for the good of others.”
(see below for one person’s Biblical understanding)
http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/268

A tree spreads its foliage,
And produces flowers and fruits,
Even though it has no objective
Outside of itself.

What does it matter if a dumb person
Observes a vow of silence or not?
The wise remain steadfast in their own divinity
Whether they worship or not.

Will the flame of a lamp
Remain without light
If we do not ask her to wear
The garment of light?

Is not the moon bathed in light
Even though we do not ask her
To wear the moonlight?

Fire is naturally hot;
Why should we consider heating it?

A wise person is aware
That he, himself, is the Lord;
Therefore, even when he is not worshiping,
He is worshiping.

Now the lamps of action and inaction
Have both been snuffed out,
And worshiping and not worshiping
Are sitting in the same seat,
And eating from the same bowl.

In such a state,
The sacred scriptures are the same as censure,
And censure itself
Is the same as a sweet hymn of praise.

Both praise and censure
Are, in fact, reduced to silence;
Even though there is speech,
It is silence.

No matter where he goes,
That sage is making pilgrimage to God;
And, if he attains to God,
That attainment is non-attainment.

.How amazing
That in such a state,
Moving about on foot
And remaining seated in one place
Are the same!

No matter what his eyes fall upon
At any time,
He always enjoys the vision of God.

If God Himself appears before him,
It is as if he has seen nothing;
For God and His devotee
Are on the same level.

If ever we could watch
The play of a ball,
We might be able to say something
About the behavior of the sage.

This spontaneous, natural devotion
Cannot be touched by the hand of action,
Nor can knowledge penetrate it.

It goes on without end,
In communion with itself.
What bliss can be compared to this?

This natural devotion is a wonderful secret;
It is the place in which meditation
And knowledge become merged.

O blissful and almighty Lord!
You have made us the sole sovereign
In the kingdom of perfect bliss.

How wonderful
That You have awakened the wakeful,
Laid to rest those who are sleeping,
And made us to realize
Our own Self!

We are Yours entirely!
Out of love,
You include us as Your own,
As is befitting Your greatness.

You do not receive anything from anyone,
Nor do You give anything of Yourself to anyone else.
We do not know how You enjoy your greatness.

O noble One!
It is Your pleasure
To become our nearest and dearest
By taking away from us
Our sense of difference from You.

More information re: Saint Jnaneshvar
http://www.nonduality.com/jnan.htm

The “King of Saints” was Jnaneshwar (1271-1293), who,
while living only twenty-two years,
made an indelible mark on the whole of Hindu spirituality.
Before Jnaneshwar’s time,
the scriptures of India were in the secret language of Sanskrit
and completely unavailable to the lower classes.
Breaking from tradition,
Jnaneshwar not only translated the central Sanskrit text,
the Bhagavad Cita, into the common language of Marathi
but added a magnificent commentary
which expounds the complete path of yoga and spiritual practice.
His commentary, the Jnaneshwari,
still stands among the greatest spiritual works ever written.
It cannot be spoken of or spoken to;
by no means may It be comprehended by the intellect.
https://chatwithgod.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/teachings-of-jnanesvar/

Jnanadeva says,

I honor the union of Shiva and Shakti,
who devour this world of name and form like a sweet dish.
All that remains is the One.
Embracing each other they merge into One,
As darkness merges with the light
At the breaking of dawn.
When we discover their Unity,
All words and all thoughts dissolve into silence,
Just as when the Universal Deluge comes,
the waters of the ocean,
and those of the Ganges,
will merge into one.
The air and the wind will merge into the endless sky;
The sun and its light will merge into the Universal Fire.
With a true vision of them,
the seer and the seen merge into one.
Again I honor the two who are one.
They are like an ocean of knowledge.
And only those who throw themselves in
can drink of their waters.
I appear separate from them just so I can honor them.
But that separation is not real,
it is only in name.
– Jnaneshwar
https://chatwithgod.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/teachings-of-jnanesvar/

Every action that is not inspired by true wisdom and love produces toxic matter in human beings

PURE SILENCE

ORIGIN’S ORIGINAL TRUTH
BE THAT!
ew
5:54 AM-12/10/18

I have come this time
to burn my thorns,
to purify my life,
to take up service again
in the garden.

I come weeping to these waters
to rise free of passion and belief.

Look at my face.
These tears are traces of you.

I will shorten this poem,
because the rest of it
is being said in the world
within your eyes.

Do you know this silence?
It is not the same as in your room
when you have no one to talk to.

This is pure silence,
not the kind that happens
when living dogs are eating a dead one.
Rumi

Listen!
Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell,
for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend.
When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.
Rumi

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

My Ancestry DNA Results ~ Fred LaMotte

My Ancestry DNA results came in.
Just as I suspected, my great great grandfather
was a monarch butterfly.
Much of who I am is still wriggling under a stone.
I am part larva, but part hummingbird too.

There is dinosaur tar in my bone marrow.
My golden hair sprang out of a meadow in Palestine.
Genghis Khan is my fourth cousin,
but I didn't get his dimples.
My loins are loaded with banyan seeds from Sri Lanka,
but I descended from Ravanna, not Ram.

My uncle is a mastodon.
There are traces of white people in my saliva.
3.7 billion years ago I swirled in golden dust,
dreaming of a planet overgrown with lingams and yonis.

More recently, say 60,000 B.C.
I walked on hairy paws across a land bridge
joining Sweden to Botswana.
I am the bastard of the sun and moon.
I can no longer hide my heritage of raindrops and cougar scat.

I am made of your grandmother's tears.
You conquered rival tribesmen of your own color,
chained them together, marched them naked to the coast,
and sold them to colonials from Savannah.

I was that brother you sold, I was the slave trader,
I was the chain.
Admit it, you have wings, vast and golden,
like mine, like mine.

You have sweat, black and salty,
like mine, like mine.
You have secrets silently singing in your blood,
like mine, like mine.

Don't pretend that earth is not one family.

Don't pretend we never hung from the same branch.

Don't pretend we don't ripen on each other's breath.

Don't pretend we didn't come here to forgive.

FEATHERFALL - Laurens van der Post

Featherfall

But then it was suddenly as if a voice within him was commanding him to look up at the forbidden summit and as he did so he saw,
in the light of one of the greatest of mythological African sunsets,
a pure white feather fluttering down from on high towards him.
He put out his hand and grasped the feather and,
they who told me the story said,
he died content.

When I asked them what the name of this great white bird was, they told me:
'The bird has many names but we believe it was the Bird of Truth.'

A story told to Sir Laurens van der Post by the African Bushmen....
and much more here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~hipbone/IDTWeb/LvdPReq.html
An excellent sampler of Laurens van der Post writings is named
FEATHERFALL: An Anthology
The essence of a lifetime of writing from one of the nineteenth centuries most respected figures. Contemporary and friend of C. G. Jung this man's writing reflects far-ranging ideas and extraordinary experiences
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1595439.Feather_Fall

It is a law of life that you should fight for life
truthfully and honourably as long as you can,
and that you as the individual cannot decide to abandon life
- that is a thing which is left to God
and therefore we had to do everything we could
to go on living.

The only weapon we had
- because we were completely helpless -
was to live truthfully and not to allow the madness
which surrounded us to distort our vision of the truth.

I could have been wrong at any moment,
but I felt that as long as we lived truthfully we had a chance for survival.
And the proof is that we did survive.
from
A Walk with a White Bushman
Laurens van der Post

When your chest is free of your limiting ego,
Then you will see the ageless Beloved.
You can not see yourself without a mirror;
Look at the Beloved, He is the brightest mirror.
Rumi

Your love lifts my soul from the body to the sky
And you lift me up out of the two worlds.
I want your sun to reach my raindrops,
So your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud.

August 19

AFTERNOON

The heart of man is very much like the sea,
it has its storms,
it has its tides and in its depths
it has its pearls too.
― Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise
and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths
would be revealed to your eyes.

But let there be no scales
to weigh your unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowledge
with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

Say not, “I have found the truth,”
but rather, “I have found a truth.”
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.”
Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.”

For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line,
neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself,
like a lotus of countless petals.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

I am the glorious sun, the ocean laden with pearls.
Within my heart is the grandeur of heaven.

AH! for RUMI:
All quotes below in this color font
from
Rumi

This silence, this moment, every moment,
If it's genuinely inside you,
brings what you need.

Hear from the heart wordless mysteries.

Come,
even if you have broken your vow
one thousand times,
come,
yet again,
come, come.

Open your hands if you want to be held.

When I run after what I think I want,
my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience,
what I need flows to me,
and without pain.
From this I understand that what I want
also wants me,
is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.

Last night
    I begged the Wise One to tell me
    the secret of the world.
    Gently, gently, he whispered,
    "Be quiet,
    the secret cannot be spoken,
    It is wrapped in silence

Now be silent.
Let the One who creates the words speak.
He made the door.
He made the lock.
He also made the key.

In every religion there is love,
yet love has no religion.

Stop acting so small.
You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

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

There is a voice that doesn’t use words,
listen.

In silence there is eloquence.
Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.

Let silence take you to the core of life.

"Unknowing knowing" Commentary - Granger

The following is the commentary by Ivan Granger that
accompanied the previously posted poem:
"Unknowing knowing"/"I Entered the Unknown."
posted here:
https://mysticmeandering.blogspot.com/2018/09/i-entered-unknown-st-john-of-cross.html
I thought it might be helpful...

He says:
...the poem's archaic use of the word "knowing" implies a
general sense of knowledge acquired through reason and the
testimony of the senses.

The Spanish Saint, [St. John of the Cross] is speaking about
the mystical idea of "unknowing",
the state in which all
concepts and mental filters have been set aside.

In that state
of unknowing, we rise above the elaborate constructions of the
logical mind and come to rest in pure awareness
("knowing by
unknowing").
He is contrasting true,
unfiltered knowing, gnosis,
with the mere accumulations and organization
of information.

To be unknowing in this sense
is to encounter every instant
entirely as it is,
in pure wonder,
without projections,
without
anticipation or agitation.

[Whereas] the intellectual mind.....
is always processing, analyzing and making everything fit
within its comprehension. In interprets.
Awareness can step beyond the intellect to fully apprehend
reality...

This state of supreme unknowing is not perception
in the sense of
drawing in and interpreting exterior input
through the senses.

In normal perception,
the intellect sifts and sorts that sensory data
and formulates it into a working hypothesis
of what reality is.
...the mystic's unknowing
is the centered awareness
of unfiltered
reality.....
without an egoic agenda.
The full awareness in this
state of unknowing does not sift reality,
it bathes in it.

"The transcendence of "knowledge"
.....is found to be an experience of
"the deepest ecstasy of the Divine Essence."
[as St. John of the Cross calls it].

I sense we are entering a time of "grow up or get sicker as you are". The entertainer has left the stage so to speak, They are being replaced by the task master who doesn't care whether we like their message or not. In this exact moment I question my ability to conform.
Must be time for that SOB to go!
I want to be free of the negative inner male who has worked me like a plow animal.
I concede that his relentlessness has shown me my capabilities,
talents I might not have discovered without him,
and I've had enough of it now.
I will resist being driven by that heavy handed task master from now on.
My body needs to be healed now,
the performance peak has passed and knowing him as I do,
he will hound me for it to my grave.
I am tired and ready to accept a life without his demands.
He must go for good now!.
The Judge Must Depart so that I may know real life.
My sense is that you are in a similar position now, going on without Anthony ?
Much love and Big hugs, J

The Daily Lesson – August 29, 2018
“This is knowing the truth that makes us free. It has nothing to do with God;
it has to do with us;
it has to do with our knowing the truth.
The more spiritual our consciousness becomes,
the more harmonious our outer life becomes
because we have set the karmic law of good into operation.”
~Joel S Goldsmith

II Peter 1:2 (to ,) (KJV)
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God,
John 8:32 (KJV)
32 And ye shall know the truth, [Feel it first] and the truth shall make you free.
If we keep a seed in our pocket and never prepare fertile ground and then plant it, it will never Blossom.

The funny thing about Harmony
is that is that it always seems to show up after it is Felt.

Silence of Love - Rumi Revealed

Rumi embodied the expression of love in a way that brought
heaven to earth. He became part of the great mystery, the unity,
and the oneness that awakens the heart from a deep sleep to reveal
the divine truth of who we are...

The greatest of human achievements have not evolved from the
words expressed by a person manifesting greatness, but from the
depth of the Silence...

Silence is the ultimate presence of God.

The essence of love and creativity exists in Silence and not in the
words that are derived from the rational mind.
Every word evolves from Silence,
every sound proceeds from Silence,
and every thing
that is created has originated from Silence.
All become the living word of life itself.

Life is illuminated when the lips are closed,
and the heart begins to speak.

Rumi has given more value to "silence"
for those on the path of enlightenment than other mystics.
Many of the poems in the Divan of Shams end with the words
"Be silent",
or some other
descriptive phrase about being silent
.
His most mystical poems and those with deeper meanings
often reflect the importance of Silence.
Perhaps some of the best advice in his poetry is when he
tells himself to be silent as he feels the emergence of the rational
mind interfering with his ecstatic state.

He usually stops the poetry
and
goes into Silence when that happens.

.....poetry to him is conversation with love.

It is in Silence that love most easily finds the way to the heart.
It is in Silence that love is given the freest passage.
The expression of the message then has the perfect clarity of truth.

If we open our mouths to speak,
and our words do not come from love,
then we should say nothing.

Silence is pure essence,
while talking is like a cover surrounding the essence.
The deep ecstasy of the spiritual journey
harbors the beauty hidden inside.

Silence has many concealed advantages,
and the simplest one
is that it relieves apprehension and doubt
and
frees a person to embrace an inner peace.

There is sacred Silence inside everyone
where a divine conversation
can be heard.

Be silent and listen to the whispers of love
within the heart that long to be expressed
and feel the tranquility and
freedom love can bring.

What matters in life is what is true and the moments that are real,
moments when love is felt and experienced,
when a connection is made through love,
whether it is another person,
or when
feeling the presence of Divine Love.

Pure love is everything,
and it flows from a deep and sacred Silence...
****

https://mysticmeandering.blogspot.com/2018/08/silence-of-love-rumi-revealed.html

One of the book agents responsible for getting many of the most innovative thinkers in psychology and spirituality published,
years before anyone else could have sold these books,
seemed to be a self-absorbed and ruthless man.

At the time I met him I was studying spiritual paths,
many of which emphasized the need to clean up your act
in order to be able to serve a universal purpose.
Yet here was a man to whom most spiritual teachers
would have assigned a million years of practice,
who had nevertheless done great good in the world,
spreading life-affirming ideas through the culture
like a Johnny Appleseed.

Over the years I have learned that "cleaning up one's act"
may be far less important than consecrating one's life.

It may be possible to use everything.

A ruthless man may be able to open doors
that a more kindly and traditionally spiritual person could knock on forever.
Without judgment, many things can be made holy.
