ALL IS WELL, UNLESS PERCEIVED OTHERWISE

2:09 AM-1/29/20

We travel, some of us forever,
to seek other states,
other lives,
other souls.
~Anais Nin

Coming to Terms with Nothingness
What we call emptiness and nothingness
is merely a relative notion or experience,
like moving from the positive to the negative
before both eventually fall away
and all that remains is what Is.

Nevertheless,
if there is any aspect of this journey
I would stress or emphasize,
it is the evident necessity of finally coming to terms
with the nothingness and emptiness of existence,
which, for me,
seemed to be the equivalent
of living out my life without God –
or any such substitute.

Only when this came about,
only when the acclimation
to a life without an ultimate reality
was complete,
when there was no hope,
no trust remaining,
only when I have finally to accept what is,
did I suddenly realize that what is,
is Truth itself and all that Is.

I had to discover
it was only when every single,
subtle, experience and idea
– conscious and unconscious –
has come to an end, a complete end,
that it is possible for the
Truth to reveal Itself.

MID-MORNING SESSION - OCEAN "OFFICE" SPACE

AFTERNOON

The restlessness in the human heart
will never be finally stilled
by any person, project, or place.

The longing is eternal.
This is what constantly qualifies and enlarges
our circles of belonging.
There is a constant and vital tension
between longing and belonging.

Without the shelter of belonging,
our longings would lack direction, focus, and context;
they would be aimless and haunted,
constantly tugging the heart
in a myriad of opposing directions.

Without belonging,
our longing would be demented.

As memory gathers and anchors time,
so does belonging shelter longing.
Belonging without longing
would be empty and dead,
a cold frame around emptiness.

John O'Donohue
Excerpt from this EXCELLENT writing:
http://www.passionart.guide/project/john-o-donohue-celtic-reflections-on-our-yearning-to-belong/

A long dark curve is the poem in your body
is the river
is the loon's throat.
Have you ever asked yourself how
the loon's voice
opens?

You know it first as change in the body.
Even if the blue place you are dreaming
is no longer there
you must begin.
Something that desires to lift
these heavy bones
something simple
and beautiful
miraculous as a feather
forms along the blade
of each wing.

Poised, no longer
settled
you wait as every part of you sheds
what once was,
and is no longer
necessary.

Close to shore you prepare.
And what will it cost you?

And what is this
haunting and wild, now
still in your throat, now
trembling
Set it free
whatever it may cost you
set it free.

BEING ORIGINAL CORE SILENCE
WITHOUT HOPE, THOUGHT, LOVE OR FAITH
=
DARKNESS IS LIGHT
STILLNESS IS DANCING*
ew
3:36 AM-1/25/20

*T.S. Eliot...See first quote below

*I said to my soul,
be still and wait without hope,
for hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.
― T.S. Eliot

There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can't hope.
The hopers would feel slighted if they knew.
Rumi

I've crossed some kind of invisible line.
I feel as if I've come to a place
I never thought I'd have to come to.

And I don't know how I got here.

It's a strange place.
It's a place where a little harmless dreaming
and then some sleepy, early-morning talk
has led me into considerations
of death and annihilation.
― Raymond Carver,
Where I'm Calling From: New and Selected Stories

The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.”
― Shannon L. Alder

AFTERNOON

Death has been with me,
getting my attention, saying nothing.

So this morning, in a hotel in New York,
I take a long shower, hoping the hot, anonymous stream might
wash the aches from my heart and the fear from my mind.
Yet once rinsed of my memory and worry,
death takes off its mask and it is only life
trying to get my attention one more time.

But I insist, I have never taken any of this for granted.
And now, from the inside, I can see the story of the Universe
in the homeless man’s eye,
and the kindness of time in the sun
off the thunderstorm puddle,
which will evaporate by noon.

Like me.
Like you.
Now life appears as a small bird drinking from the puddle.
So that’s it.
All our efforts come down to one life
offering itself as a drink to another
before we evaporate into everything else.

It makes me sad to think that you and I will vanish.
But the way this works is elegant:
the expending of one life
till it is seamlessly absorbed in the next.

And so, this morning,
these thoughts hardly seem my own.
~Mark Nepo
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/01/23/31546/

Courage is the measure of our heartfelt
participation with life, with another,
with a community, a work;
a future.

To be courageous is not necessarily
to go anywhere or do anything
except to make conscious those things
we already feel deeply
and then to live through the unending vulnerabilities
of those consequences.

To be courageous
is to seat our feelings deeply in the body
and in the world:
to live up to and into the necessities of relationships
that often already exist,
with things we find we already care deeply about:
with a person, a future, a possibility in society,
or with an unknown that begs us on
and always has begged us on.

Courage is what love looks like
when tested by the simple everyday
necessities of being alive.

ONLY THE NOURISHMENT
OF ORIGINAL ESSENCE SUFFICETH
ew
3:01 AM-1/24/20

i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i became laughter
all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal

love said to me
you are not
crazy enough
you don’t
fit this house

i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains

love said
you are not
intoxicated enough
you don’t
fit the group

i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness

love said
you are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and skepticism

i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all

love said
you are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every one
around you

i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no more crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now

love said
you are a teacher
you are a head
and for everyone
you are a leader

i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes

love said
you already have
your own wings
i will not give you
more feathers

and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life

now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light

AFTERNOON

In the Garden of The Beloved
November 27, 2019 ·

It occurred to me…
There was a time when my Soul Shone, unobscured,
By all that would accrue upon my Naked Innocence,
When the Ecstasy of Being was unalloyed by selfhood,
And I existed as my Essence.

There was a time, before I learned a language,
Before the inner voice began its endless dialog,
Before I came to feel my self as the thinker,
When I was simply Perception.

There was a time before all that is experienced,
Was wrapped in words, concepts, and images,
Overlaying every perception with the already known,
A time when I was simply Immediacy.

There was a time, before the felt sense of my self,
Qualified and conditioned in countless ways,
Came to feel dense, isolated, and alone,
A time when I was simply Experience.

There was a time, before boy-girl; fat-thin, gifted-dim;
Smart-dull; attractive-unattractive; admired-disdained,
A time before qualifications and attributions,
When I simply Was.

And I wondered if, before these Veils enshrouded me,
The Ecstasy of Being I sought so desperately,
Might simply be the Nature of what I Am, Before.

And so I Journeyed within, back, behind, before,
All that had accrued “upon” my naked Innocence,
Until only Perception Remained.

Past the felt sense of myself as a person,
Qualified and judged by myself and others,
Until only Experience Remained.

Past the attributes that had defined the person,
Birthing a relentless concern for stature,
In the eyes of others, and in my own.

Past the words, concepts, and images that cloaked,
And dulled every perception with the already known,
Until only Immediacy Remained.
Within, past all that was not my Essence I Journeyed,
Until I, and all that existed, Vanished utterly,
And somehow, impossibly…

I Remained, not as “I”, but Existence Itself.

And Returning, I saw that it had been as I’d thought,
For the Ecstasy of Being is simply the Nature,
Of what we Are, before we are.

Should you really
open your eyes and see,
you would behold
your image in all images…

And should you
open your ears and listen,
you would hear your own voice
in all voices…
—Kahlil Gibran
...

The soul has been given its own ears to hear
things the mind does not understand.

—Jalalud’din Rumi

I am too alone in the world, and not alone enough
to make every minute holy.
I am too tiny in this world,
and not tiny enough
just to lie before you like a thing,
shrewd and secretive.

I want my own will,
and I want simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action, and in the silent,
sometimes hardly moving times
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know secret things
or else alone.

I want to be a mirror for your whole body,
and I never want to be blind,
or to be too old to hold up your old and swaying picture.

I want to unfold.

I don’t want to stay folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie.
And I want my grasp of things true before you.

I want to describe myself like a painting
that I looked at closely for a long time,
like a saying that I finally understood,
like the pitcher I use every day,
like the face of my mother,
like a ship that took me safely
through the wildest storm of all.

—Rainer Maria Rilke

If You Seek Reality - Nisargadatta & Adyashanti

If you seek Reality
you must set yourself free
of all backgrounds, of all cultures,
of all patterns of thinking and feeling.

Even the idea of being a man or a woman,
or even human, should be discarded.

The Ocean of Life contains all,
not only humans.

So first abandon all self-identification,
stop thinking of
yourself as such-and-such, so-and-so,
this or that.

Abandon
all self-concern,
worry not about your welfare, material or spiritual,
abandon every desire, gross or subtle,
stop thinking of achievement of every kind.

You are complete, as you are...

Nisargadatta
https://mysticmeandering.blogspot.com/2020/01/if-you-seek-reality-nisargadatta.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MysticMeandering+%28Mystic+Meandering%29

You have to be willing to ask, "Who am I?"
or "What am I?"
without any script or role,
without the story about
who you are and what you are,
releasing the script of what you think
your life is about.
Every sense of identity has its script - like,
"I'm a spiritual seeker."
We each have a specific role
and our stories about that role.
But our roles and stories are not
what we are...

When you start to realize what the truth is,
you wake up from the story of you.
You recognize that truth is not an abstraction,
it is not something to learn.
You discover that truth is who you
are without a script or role...

There is a state in which mind says,
"I have no idea who I am",
because it can't find the right script.
Awakening is the realization that happens
after the mind says,"I give up.
I just have no idea who I am."
When you start to understand this,
you realize that if you put down your script
and just drop the
roles for a moment,
you are not
what you have taken yourself
to be.

What you are without your role
is often assumed to be hidden.
So when you look past your character called "me"
for the truth of your being,
you may think there's someone to find who is
somewhere hidden.

Looking for the "enlightened Self"
is just another role, another script.
If you drop the script, what are you?
Enlightenment is to have no script...

Give up the script, the role, the identity -
even it is to have no identity..

Rumi ♡ Drunk

you are drunk
and i'm intoxicated
no one is around
showing us the way home

again and again
i told you
drink less
a cup or two

i know in this city
no one is sober
one is worse than the other
one is frenzied and
the other gone mad

come on my friend
step into the tavern of ruins
taste the sweetness of life
in the company of another friend

here you'll see
at every corner
someone intoxicated
and the cup-bearer
makes her rounds

i went out of my house
a drunkard came to me
someone whose glance
uncovered a hundred
houses in paradise

rocking and rolling
he was a sail
with no anchor but
he was the envy of all those sober ones
remaining on the shore

where are you from i asked
he smiled in mockery and said
one half from the east
one half from the west
one half made of water and earth
one half made of heart and soul
one half staying at the shores and
one half nesting in a pearl

i begged
take me as your friend
i am your next of kin
he said i recognize no kin
among strangers
i left my belongings and
entered this tavern
i only have a chest
full of words
but can't utter
a single one

A Different World - Harlan Hubbard

... I myself, I require a more direct revelation,
not one that must come through so many minds
before it reaches mine.
I must have faith that I can see and hear,
that I can feel without thinking, or even trying to put into words.
It's not for anyone else, it's personal...

The interval of solitude is precious.
It is a different world and I am a different self.
I feel relieved of a responsibility that cannot be defined.
I am released from pressure, my mind is free.

Yet, would I not feel a lack of balance if I lived alone all the time?

Harlan Hubbard
1900-1988
from his journal, 1959

Harlan Hubbard was an American painter, writer and poet
who lived a very simple life riding the Missouri and Mississippi
Rivers with his wife Anna in a shanty boat, eventually
settling down in Kentucky.

With thanks to The Beauty We Love

When you find that your long cherished beliefs
do not agree with your direct experience,
trust your experience.
Prefer the truth of your experience
to your dearest delusions...

SECOND SET OF WINGS...JUST A FEW FEET AWAY FROM FIRST SET....UNUSUAL TO FIND ANY WINGS ON BEACH NOW....

It is a moral achievement on the part of the doctor,
who ought not to let himself be repelled
by sickness and corruption.
We cannot change anything unless we accept it.
Condemnation does not liberate,
it oppresses “unprejudiced objectivity.” ..... ...

I am the oppressor of the person I condemn,
not his friend and fellow-sufferer.
I do not in the least mean to say that we must never pass judgment when we desire to help and improve.
But if the doctor wishes to help a human being
he must be able to accept him as he is.
And he can do this in reality
only when he has already seen and accepted himself
as he is.

What are we?

A fleeting, intricate presence
riding a tiny speck of water and rock,

AFTERNOON

look at the unity of this

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?

****

All will come again into its strength:
the fields undivided, the waters undammed,
the trees towering and the walls built low.
And in the valleys,
people as strong and varied as the land.

And no churches where God
is imprisoned and lamented
like a trapped and wounded animal.
The houses welcoming all who knock
and a sense of boundless offering
in all relations, and in you and me.

No yearning for an afterlife,
no looking beyond,
no belittling of death,
but only longing for what belongs to us
and serving earth,
lest we remain unused.

All is contained in the divine breath,

Muhyi-din Ibn 'Arabi

Ancient Wisdom
It might be
The final test of man, the narrow way
Proving him worthy of immortal life
That he should face this darkness and this death
Worthily, and renounce all easy hope,
All consolation, all but the simple smile
Upon the face of Truth…
(From the Book of Earth, an ancient Egyptian funerary text.)

For silence is not God,
nor is speaking;
fasting is not God,
nor is eating;
aloneness is not God,
nor is company;
nor yet or all of such opposites.

He is hid between them,
and may not be found
by any work of your soul,
but only by love of your heart."

As a pearl is formed and its layers grow,
a rich iridescence begins to glow.

brilliance, and wisdom?

Silence of the mind which is the result of
deep understanding,
that meditation is a natural,
spontaneous meditation
which just happens....

....When you truly realize that
this lie and living is an absurdity,
then you join in the dance.

You take part in this absurdity.
The body-mind organism continues to live in the world,
but without any sense of personal doership.
The Net of Jewels
Ramesh S. Balsekar
January 16

Problems need to be dissolved, not solved,
because there is no solution.
The only way the problems get dissolved is,
as soon as they arise,
they are merely witnessed. ...

... When Truth is realized, there is neither
bondage nor liberation.

Both the worlds we dream of when asleep
and this world we dream while awake
will have disappeared into the cosmic dissolution,
which is the equivalent of
the state of deep sleep.
The Net of Jewels
Ramesh S. Balsekar

To be free of the obsession
With the future,
With the preoccupation of
What to do next, is
Most well regarded by those that
Others label as lazy.
Even if it were so,
It would be
The highest form of laziness.

In every moment
Wu Hsin is doing
Exactly what he is supposed to be
Doing.
He knows this because
He knows that
He is not
Doing anything.

Wu Hsin cannot guarantee that
Meditating will bring peace.
However, Wu Hsin can guarantee that
Doing nothing will bring you life.

I love this time-
the in-between time,
the time after all the gatherings and lights.

It is the crack between the worlds,
the place where dreaming can unfold
and then spiral into being quickly and quietly.

It is a place where, if we want them to,
solitude and silence can surround us
and the soul-hungers we have abandoned
can find us once again.

It is a time to listen deeply,
to stay with stillness
open to the impulse
to move from
the deepest part
of what we are.

AFTERNOON

How can I Drown
in
What I AM?

A Transparency that cannot be described to
or noticed by others....
...just as true death of physical form on earth
cannot be described to one
who does not Know, UnKnow…. or Remember.

∞

Nothing out there
causes a Shift within

The Within
already Is
since before time.

It matters not
where I am
if I AM
where I am.

If we do not Remember
planet-entry-Knowing
we are doomed to carry accumulated
contaminations/densities
to the next world at final flight
(or the next moment this day)

Without Raptures
there are no valleys.
All is the Same.

Creating something from Nothing.
All fits into that paradigm.

Only Life is forever.

All else passes.
Nothing to cling to.
Nothing to avoid.

Only the not passes.

The unspeakably-horrible snake
is only a stick

In God Alone
there is no struggle.
Only Being.
Creator/Creation as One.

Present in the Presence
of the single moment
Erases all else
but Nothing

Finally one does not
remember anything
but
Nothing

Nothing to teach, preach
or share.
However Transmissions
do occur
beyond the Silence.

Love Threshed me to Nothing

Consumed by its Fire
Left as an ash upon the ground
I am now
only the wind
in and of
the Breathless One
Alone

All yearning/ longing of my soul

Sated & Devoured in
the Great Silence.

This is Love
beyond all words & perception

O Joy of this life!
O Breath of this life!
You are me!
I AM You!

Beyond Joy!

Beyond Breath!

O Silent Core of Life
Sustains

The wind has died.

Where are the sails?
Is the boat an illusion, too?

How can I drown
in what I AM?

The form that was needed
is no longer necessary

Excess decays
without use and purpose.

At long last
no struggle
no pain.

Only the unknown is Known

The Known is unknown

They are the same...birthing Divine Silence.

“A person blended into God does not disappear.
He or she is just soaked with the qualities.”
Soul of Rumi

“When I remember your love,
I weep,
and when I hear people
talking of you,
something in my chest,
where nothing much happens now,
moves as in sleep.”

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!”

This aloneness is worth more than a thousand lives.
This freedom is worth more than all the lands on earth.
To be one with the truth for just a moment,
Is worth more than the world and life itself.

AFTERNOON

All Rumi Quotes this Afternoon from:
Translations by Shahram Shiva
https://www.rumi.net/rumi_poems_main.htm

You think you are alive
because you breathe air?
Shame on you,
that you are alive in such a limited way.
Don't be without Love,
so you won't feel dead.
Die in Love
and stay alive forever.
Rumi

This is me: Sometimes hidden and sometimes revealed,
Sometimes a devoted Muslim, sometimes
a Hebrew and a Christian.
For me to fit inside everyone's heart,
I put on a new face everyday.
Rumi

My head is bursting
with the joy of the unknown.
My heart is expanding a thousand fold.
Every cell,
taking wings,
flies about the world.
All seek separately
the many faces of my love.
Rumi

A true Lover doesn't follow any one religion,
be sure of that.
Since in the religion of Love,
there is no irreverence or faith.
When in Love,
body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist.
Become this Love,
and you will not be separated again.
Rumi

I am so drunk
I have lost the way in
and the way out.
I have lost the earth, the moon, and the sky.
Don't put another cup of wine in my hand,
pour it in my mouth,
for I have lost the way to my mouth.
Rumi

Saith the Great Law: —
"In order to become the knower of ALL SELF (9) thou hast first of self to be the knower."
To reach the knowledge of that self,
thou hast to give up Self to Non-Self,
Being to Non-Being,
and then thou canst repose
between the wings of the GREAT BIRD.

Aye, sweet is rest between the wings
of that which is not born, nor dies,
but is the AUM (10) throughout eternal ages (11).
Best ride the Bird of Life,
if thou would'st know (12).

I sipped some of love's sweet wine,
and now I am ill.
My body aches,
my fever is high.
They called in the doctor and he said,
drink this tea!
Ok, time to drink this tea.
He said,
Take these pills!
Ok, time to take these pills.
The doctor said,
And get rid of the sweet wine of love's lips!
Ok, time to get rid of the doctor.

It is not a sin to be happy
December 10, 2019
by Paulo Coelho

“We must care for our body. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and deserves our respect and affection.
We must make the best use of our time.
We must fight for our dreams,
and concentrate our efforts to that end.

But we must not forget that life
is made up of small pleasures.
They were placed here to encourage us,
assist us in our search,
and provide moments of surcease
from our daily battles.

It is not a sin to be happy.

There is nothing wrong in
-from time to time-
breaking certain rules regarding diet,
sleep and happiness.

Do not criticize yourself if
-once in a while-
you waste your time on trifles.

These are the small pleasures that stimulate us.

The Traveler
- David-Neel and Lama Yongden

The traveler who finds his road blocked by a river will use
a raft to reach the opposite shore,
but, this shore, once reached,
he will not take the raft on his shoulders
while continuing his journey.

He will abandon it as something
which has become useless.

The raft represents the different kinds of methods, intellectual training, or moral discipline,
which are available as means to
bring the seeker of liberation
to the "other shore."

On this shore,
both have lost their value;
they bear no relation to the conditions
existing on the "other shore" and,
like the raft in the parable,
they are only a useless burden...

To go beyond virtue and vice, opinions and beliefs,
is to go beyond the mental constructions
which are built by the mind, unceasingly,
and to recognize,
by transcendent insight,
that they are void of reality.

It is also to recognize,
by transcendent insight,
that which has been imagined as practicing virtue,
surrendering to vice,
as holding opinions and elaborating theories,
as traveling towards a goal and reaching a goal,
is nothing but
an inconsistent phantom,
devoid of reality.

AFTERNOON

A simple walk on the beach
becomes an experience of cosmic joy
and at the same time,
remains just a simple walk on the beach.

I’m just little me,
and yet also I am the beach
and the shells
and the ocean
and the horizon.

Nothing has changed
and yet everything has changed.

I am walking through me.

“I” has been assimilated
by the totality
and I have assimilated the totality
and it’s just very amazing
and yet totally ordinary.

Consciousness is walking
through consciousness.
It’s so obvious.
How could I have missed it before?
– Verse 15 Pondering, p 113

WELL WORTH THE SATURATION!

Power of the Word,
- that we can one day find anew

You all know the wonderful tales where the magician or the sorceress only has to utter a few words to conjure up a castle, or tables covered with the most delectable dishes,
or
a great bird on which to travel through space
and so forth.

These stories are not pure inventions,
they have meaning –
they remind us of a time long ago
when humans possessed the magic word.
But little by little,
as they sunk down into matter,
humans lost their power over it,
and were no longer able to master it.

Every day, people must grapple with matter
so as to shape it, draw subsistence from it,
find shelter and make the objects they need,
and it constantly offers up resistance.

In reality,
the power of the Word
has not been definitively taken away from humans,
and they are capable of finding it again,
provided they undertake
a great work of inner transformation.

We can define the Word
as the synthesis of all expressions of psychic life.

This work of transformation therefore begins with the mastery of thoughts, feelings and desires.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
https://www.prosveta-usa.com/power-of-the-word-the-that-we-can-one-day-find-anew_2019-12-10

Wednesday, December 11, 2019

Even if human beings aren’t aware of it,
all of them come to earth with the imprints
of what they experienced in the heavenly regions with God.
This life is recorded within them as an indelible memory, which is why they sometimes feel nostalgia for it.

Sometimes, an encounter, a face, a reading, a landscape,
an image, or music awakens a distant memory within them.
They again experience a few moments of paradise, they feel inhabited by peace and light.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t last;
and when the time comes to resume their daily activities, they fail to realize that there is something
they could do to retain these states,
and they even forget them.

Far from God, far from the spiritual sun,
humans gradually lose every opportunity to live and manifest themselves with joy, love and freedom.

They could very easily lead their earthly lives and fulfill their obligations and still maintain their bond with him.

But this obviously requires a lot of vigilance and,
when they feel they are drifting away,
they must do everything to find their way back.

Randall Friend - An overwhelming sense of Love

The love felt here is overwhelming.
For so many years I struggled and searched -
mostly within the confines of an individual existence.

It is impossible to find the answer you seek
as long as you consider
yourself an individual existence.

My writing is due to an overwhelming sense of Love -
I totally understand where you're coming from.
My impulse to write is due to this love -
this sense that if you could just realize
that your existence isn't separate and transient -
you would see that there is nothing to worry about.

You don't have to suffer.
Suffering is only in the mind.

WHAT you are is Life, Existence itself.
Consciousness arises, and we get sucked into that. Therefore we take ourselves
as the object of Consciousness -
which is actually totally normal,
yet it isn't true.

There is one Existence - one "thing" from which all arises. And you are THAT.
What else could you be?

Consciousness arises like a dream -
and you're there, facing the world.
But that is what you've been led to believe.

Life, the Universe, Brahman,
whatever you want to call it - is dreaming.
It is aware of itself through this dream we call "I".
The true "I" is Life -
aware of itself through this dream.

Wake up - existence isn't transient.
You exist.
This dream is your way of knowing yourself.
And when that dream ends, nothing is lost.
You still exist.

A cigar is slowly burning,
and a glass of bourbon is settling.
These experiences have value -
yet they are not ultimately real.

YOU are real. That's it.

A Sense that Worded after Unexpected Joyful Meeting with this Amazing Friend

There is a force within that gives you life.
Seek that.
– Rumi

I sail with you on the ocean of my dreams
to a far away distant Place of great beauty and tranquillity.
where suffering and pain do not exist,
where we give praises for our joy and happiness,
where our Love intertwines with Love for all things.
– Rumi

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world.
The forms may change,
yet the essence remains the same.
Every wonderful sight will vanish,
every sweet word will fade,
But do not be disheartened,
The source they come from is eternal, growing,
Branching out, giving new life and new joy. ....

....Why do you weep?
The source is within you
And this whole world is springing up from it.
-Rumi

You are the Essence of the Essence,
The intoxication of Love.
I long to sing Your Praises.
– Rumi

5:17 AM--7/30/19

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

In every breath

In every breath
if you’re the center
of your own desires
you’ll lose the grace
of your beloved
but if in every breath
you blow away
your self claim
the ecstasy of love
will soon arrive
in every breath

if you’re the center
of your own thoughts
the sadness of autumn
will fall on you

but if in every breath
you strip naked
just like a winter
the joy of spring
will grow from within

all your impatience
comes from the push
for gain of patience
let go of the effort
and peace will arrive
all your unfulfilled desires
are from your greed
for gain of fulfillments
let go of them all
and they will be sent as gifts

fall in love with
the agony of love
not the ecstasy
then the beloved
will fall in love with you
Rumi
Translation by Nader Khalili
“Rumi, Fountain of Fire”
Cal-Earth Press, 1994
https://razarumi.wordpress.com/documents-archive/in-every-breath/

There is a place born of silence
A place where the whispers of the heart arise.
There is a place where voices sing your beauty
A place where every breath
carves your image
in my soul.
Rumi

A pearl in the shell does not touch the ocean.
Be a pearl without a shell...

Rumi

I closed my mouth
and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.
― Rumi

Everyone is so afraid of death,
but the real sufis just laugh:
nothing tyrannizes their hearts.
What strikes the oyster shell
does not damage the pearl.

AFTERNOON

The parenthesis in which we live consists of the degree of mental or material limitation that we come under through the universal belief in two powers. Removing the parenthesis
means unseeing the human picture and becoming
consciously aware of our spiritual Selfhood.

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

In his dialogue 'the Banquet ',
Plato relates the myth of the androgyne.

In the beginning, human beings had both male and female organs,
they were all both male and female,
and this double nature gave them capacities
such that the gods ended up feeling threatened.

To weaken them, Zeus, king of the gods, decided to cut them in half,
and from then on there were men and there were women.
This myth stresses that human beings' power
came from the fact they had both male and female organs.
But despite this kind of mutilation,
humans nevertheless possess the two principles physically.

Yes, in their mouth:
their tongue is the masculine principle,
their two lips are the feminine principle,
and together they create a child: speech.

Speech gives them immense power.
Sometimes, just a few words are needed
to bring them the same results material means would.
Through speech they create and destroy,
gather together and separate,
restore peace or trigger war,
bring healing or disease.

Each one of you must be aware and careful
of the words you say.

-Pocket Pearls Milestones Series

Thursday, July 18, 2019
In order to understand the importance of the present day,
we must act as if it were our last.
Some may say it's awful to keep thinking of death in that way.
Well, it isn't.

Thinking of each day as if it were your last
does not drive you towards death,
but towards life.
No, the ones walking towards death are those who behave in a superficial,
careless way while continuing to hope for a better future.
Yes, they are squandering their life.

When the wise tell us we must live each day as if it was our last,
they say it so we will do our best to make today more useful,
more beautiful and more precious.

It is not that you really believe it is your last day;
you are merely using the idea as a teaching method
for living today more fully.

You have a minute here, an hour there, a day perhaps.
This minute, hour or day is yours to create your future.

Before the future,
your true future as the son or daughter of God,
can appear in all its splendour,
it waits for you to learn all your lessons from the past.
But it is alive and moving,
and it is already here since you are creating it.

You get there by realizing you are already there.
~ Elkhart Tolle

When you come to the edge of all the light you have known,
and are about to step out into darkness,
faith is knowing one of two things will happen;
there will be something to stand on,
or you will be taught to fly..

--Richard Bach,
Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Awakenings feel like our heart is breaking
and being pieced back together again at the same time.
It feels like all the parts of ourselves are at war
and they are inviting us to come along for the ride.
It feels like we are caught between this person we say we want to be
and the person we are right now (who is a complete mess!).
It can feel wretched one minute and like we are on cloud nine the next.

Sometimes, it just feels sloooooooow.
And then, in the middle of the awakening,
something happens.
A flash of a fresh perspective that shifts the entire world on its axis,
a rush of love to the heart
that makes us grab our chest and catch our breath,
someone telling us that we matter,
an old wound that finally, finally heals.
Something releases.
Something surrenders.

There is a softening where there was once a hard place.
There are moments that feel like we are being hit by a ton of bricks
and knocked over by a feather at the same time.
Awakenings tear us open.
They expose all the yucky stuff,
the shameful stuff, the secrets,
the dreams that were never given a voice,
the relationships that imprison us,
the words left unsaid.

Awakenings are a mirror we can’t turn away from,
even in our ugliest,
most tattered gown.
The truth of who we are is not
in how well we can contort ourselves into
who the world says we are allowed to be.

The truth of who we are is
when we stop contorting.
When we stop making excuses.
When we stop lying to ourselves
that we are satisfied when we are not.
When we stop believing
that all the beautiful experiences in life
are reserved for other people.

Awakenings allow us to realize all the ways
we make ourselves small.
All the ways we try to fit ourselves into other people’s rules,
limitations, and beliefs.
All the ways we have rejected ourselves
and not honored our own wisdom.

We change when we realize that there must be another way.
When our inner truth is so loud
that we can’t find any more excuses or distractions
to turn the volume down.
We must answer the call. We owe it to ourselves.
~Elizabeth Gordon

Become like melting snow; wash yourself of yourself.
With love your inner voice will find a atongue
growing like a silent white lily in the heart.
Rumi

AFTERNOON

In every breath

in every breath
if you’re the center
of your own desires
you’ll lose the grace
of your beloved

but if in every breath
you blow away
your self claim
the ecstasy of love
will soon arrive

in every breath
if you’re the center
of your own thoughts
the sadness of autumn
will fall on you

but if in every breath
you strip naked
just like a winter
the joy of spring
will grow from within

all your impatience
comes from the push
for gain of patience
let go of the effort
and peace will arrive

all your unfulfilled desires
are from your greed
for gain of fulfillments
let go of them all
and they will be sent as gifts

fall in love with
the agony of love
not the ecstasy
then the beloved
will fall in love with you
Rumi

We must go down to the very
foundations of life.
For any merely superficial ordering of life
that leaves its deepest needs unsatisfied
is as ineffectual
as if no attempt at order
had ever been made.

rambling, daydreaming, thinking,
perusing, being, looking, existing,

I’ll tell you what:
Few people are authentic all the time.
Few.
Like, a very very small percentage.
These people rarely talk about being authentic because they are authentic,
and it’s such an integrated part of them
that it’s literally not worth mentioning.
And most have no idea they aren’t being authentic
(and so they talk about it all the time).
Like, the vast majority of people are clueless to this fact,
and are living in some form of delusion about it.

We have no idea how to author our own lives.
We have no idea how to express ourselves
(truly, genuinely, as a loving being).
We have no idea what that feels like in our own bodies
even if we could tell you in detail
what it looks like in others
(and here, too, we are deluded
and don’t always understand
what authenticity actually is).

So, don’t be so hard on yourself,
and do what you can
to get the support you need to become authentic.

Heal your trauma.
Embody and integrate your experiences.
Learn to listen to and feel your heart.
Get humble and stay there.
Recover.
Reconcile.

Because being authentic
isn’t just about finally creating a life
where people love you for who you truly are
(though this is of course a huge part).

It’s also about authority, personal power, and authorship.
Until you know who you are,
edgy wild bits and all,
and set your life up to continue meeting yourself
anew in every moment,
you’ll be haunted by the parts of you
that remain a mystery.

Everything supports you
whether or not you even notice it,
whether or not you think about it or understand it,
whether you love it or hate it,
whether you’re happy or sad,
asleep or awake,
motivated or unmotivated.
It just supports you without asking for anything in return.

Right now, sitting in your chair, as you breathe,
notice that you’re not doing the breathing,
you’re being breathed.
You don’t even have to be aware of it;
you don’t even have to remember to breathe,
because that is supported too.

Complicated and intricate as your requirements for existence might be,
they are all being met.
At this moment there’s nothing you need,
nothing you need to do.
Notice how it feels to take in that thought.

AFTERNOON

Rumi ♡ - "Wake up lovers"

Wake up lovers, it is time to start the journey!
We have seen enough of this world, it is time to see another.
These two gardens may be beautiful
but let us pass beyond them and go to the Gardener.

Let us kiss the ground and flow like a river towards the ocean.
Let us go from the valley of tears to the wedding feast,
let us bring the colors of blossoms to our pale faces.

Our hearts shiver like autumn leaves about to fall,
in this world of dust there is no avoiding pain or feeling exiled.
Let us become like beautifully colored birds
and fly to the sweet land of paradise.

Everything is painted with the brush of the Invisible One
let us follow the hidden signs and find the Painter.

It is best to travel with companions on this perilous journey
only love can lead the way.

We are like rain splashing on a roof
let us find our way down the spout.

We are like an arched bow with the arrow in place
let us become straight and release the arrow towards the target.

We have stayed at home scared like mice
let us find our courage and join the lions.

Let us begin the journey home.
Rumi

The Cause of Causes . . .
... is a place to which forgetting and oblivion pertain.. . .
Why?
Because concerning all the levels and sources
[the sefiot],
one can search out their reality
from the depth of supernal wisdom.
From there it is possible to understand
one thing from another.

However, concerning the  Cause of Causes,
there is no aspect anywhere to
search or probe;
nothing can be known of It,
for It  is hidden'and concealed
in the mystery of absolute  nothingness.
Therefore forgetting pertains to the
comprehension of this place.

So open your eyes and
see this great, awesome secret.
Happy is one whose
eyes shine from this secret,
in this world and the
world that is coming!

UNKNOWING
“The great religions are ships,
Poets, life boats.
Every sane person I know,
Has jumped overboard”
-Hafez

My mind has lost its will,
To seek knowledge and understanding.
It no longer dreams of resolution,
To a Mystery beyond comprehension.

For after empassioned consideration,
It has concluded, rationally, empirically,
That Unknowing IS the resolution,
Any sane person will come to.

And from this Pregnant Fact is birthed…
The mind's Surrender,
The Heart having long ago Drowned,
In Love.
www.GardenOfTheBeloved.com
www.facebook.com/InTheGardenOfTheBeloved

I Have Learned so Much
Hafez

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself
A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
a Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even a pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me
Of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.

From: The Gift Translated by Daniel Ladinsky

AFTERNOON

TO DREAM OR NOT TO DREAM?
JOHN MCINTOSH

The expanding Awareness of the Freedom You Are
is Now Present within every aspect of humanity’s experience.
The once cloistered and constricted flow
of the sleeping God-SELF has thrown the curtains open,
breathing in the freshness of possibilities.

Everywhere is the invitation to:
“dream your dream”, “go for your dreams”,
“Imagine and create your dreams”,
“believe – dreams come true”
and many are following this enthusiastic guidance.

Ultimately, when filtered through the lens of Joy,
if these suggestions resonate with you,
then for now … they are for you.

However, dream-creating is just that …
more dreaming, more sleeping.

The fact that you have shifted from a dream
caught in the hypnotic current of the collective
to a dreamer consciously manifesting dreams
of your own design,
does not lead to Awakening
‘from’ the illusion of the grand dream.
It is simply a different form of play ‘in’ that illusion.

Eventually,
all activity and all practices lead to Self Inquiry
[Who am I?]
with the false self exposed and sinking back
into Pure Conscious Awareness
[the ONE-SELF]
from which it sprang.

That is the moment where all dreams
[child’s toys]
may be put away
[if you choose]
and only that which is timeless and boundless
is embraced.

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/to-dream-or-not-to-dream

As you start to walk out on the way,
the way appears.
As you cease to be,
true life begins.
As you grow smaller,
this world cannot contain you.
You will be shown a being
that has no "you" in it.
-Rumi,
Tr. C. Barks "A Year with Rumi"

Who am I?
I, Who speak with such seeming knowledge and authority?
Listen!
I AM You, that part of you who IS and KNOWS; WHO KNOWS ALL THINGS,
And always knew, and always was.

Yes, I AM You, Your SELF;
that part of you who says I AM and is I AM;

That transcendent, innermost part of you
which quickens within as you read,
which responds to this My Word,
which perceives Its Truth,
which recognizes all Truth
and discards all error wherever found.

Not that part which has been
feeding on error all these years.
For I AM your real Teacher,
the only real one you will ever know,
and the only MASTER;

Joseph Benner
http://www.newthoughtlibrary.com/bennerJoseph/impersonalLife/

I AM not your human mind, nor its child, the intellect.
They are but the expression of your Being,
as you are the expression of My Being;
they are but phases of your human personality,
as You are a phase of My Divine Impersonality.

Weigh and study carefully these words.

Rise up and free yourself now and for always
from the domination of your personality,
with its self-inflated and self-glorifying mind and intellect.
For your mind henceforth must be Your servant,
and the intellect Your slave,
if My Word is to penetrate to your Soul consciousness.
I AM come now to your Soul consciousness,
which I have quickened expressly
in preparation for the reception of My Word.

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.

Oh Cameleer! Behold the camels!
Head to head, train like, they are drunk!
The commander is drunk,
the vizier is drunk,
the friend is drunk,
the outsider is drunk!

Oh Gardner!
The thunder is as the musician!
The cloud is as the wine bearer
and have made the garden drunk,
the field is drunk,
the flower is drunk,
the thorn is drunk!

Oh Sky!
For how long will you turn?
Behold the turning of the elements.
The water is drunk,
the wind is drunk,
the earth is drunk,
the fire is drunk!

This is the state of the forms,
don’t even ask about the state of the meaning!
The soul is drunk!
The intellect is drunk!
The earth is drunk,
and the mysteries are drunk!

Be gone and let go of tyranny,
become like dust,
so that you may behold that every particle of the earth
is drunk by the tyrant creator!

In the holy instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning.
The laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all.
When the Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly wills,
it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any way.
In this instant, he is as free as God would have him be.
For the instant he refuses to be bound,
he is not bound.

If you allow experiences of the past to overshadow your future,
you are ensuring there is no future in your life,

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.
— Jellaludin Rumi,
translation by Coleman Barks

Later, a sudden larger breaker almost washed camera/tripod away...we took camera off to take this photo above...and the moment we finished that photo, GASP...for the HUGE Heron (below photos) that we barely could photograph...probably the same Heron from a few days ago at this same Remembrance Rock

I am not from the East or West
not up from the ground
or out of the ocean.
My place is placeless
a trace of the Traceless.
I am from the Soul of souls.

Rumi

below from
John O'Donohue

We are no sooner out of the womb than we must begin the
precarious unfolding and shaping of who we are.
If we have bad or destructive times in childhood,
we begin to fix on a survival identity to cover over
and to compensate for what happens to us.
If we are never encouraged to be
ourselves we begin to construct an identity
that will gain us either attention or approval.
When we set out to construct
our lives according to a fixed image,
we damage ourselves.
The image becomes the desperate focus
of all our longing.
There are no frames for the soul.

In truth we are called,
in so far as we can,
to live without
an image of ourselves,
or at least to keep
images we have free and open.

When you sense the immensity
of the Unknown within you,
any image you have built of yourself
gradually loses its promise.
Your name, your face, your address
only suggest the threshold of your identity.

Somehow you are always secretly aware of this.
Sometimes you find yourself listening to someone
telling you what you should do
or describing what is going on inside you,
and you whisper to yourself that
they have not the foggiest idea who you actually are.

John O'Donohue

NOT AS YOU SEEM
JOHN MCINTOSH

You are NOT as you seem.
The world you try to navigate through each day
is NOT as it seems.

Nothing ‘is’ as it seems on the surface …
this is relatively easy to accept,
and the body-mind-false-self will immediately
offer opinions about
conspiracies, hidden agendas
and elite forces controlling the world to support this.
But this goes much deeper than mere theories
about the real world hidden in plain sight.

No matter how close you may get to what seems to be ‘going on’,
on the planet and in your life,
it will always be about the ‘state of a dream’.

Your body, your mind, your world
and your experiences in it are all a dream,
totally believed in by most of humanity
and that belief gives it its shape and design and life.

There is absolutely nothing ‘real’ within it
no matter how beautiful or disgusting it may seem.
Every concept of Love, of Life, of Freedom, of Beauty
pales beside one glimpse of Reality.

To access Truth, the Truth that you ‘are’ is simple … turn within.
By turning your Attention inward
and simply ‘opening up’ to the possibility
of something vaster
than anything the imagination [also a dream] can conjure …

6/10/15

Light begins to shine and direct your Attention
toward what ‘is’ Real.
This opening up is actually the beginning
of Real ‘surrender’ to the Infinite.
When the mind then tries to fill in the blanks,
gently return inward to open-ness …

Life will do the heavy lifting and your Awareness
[the Awareness that you ‘are’]
of
Truth will begin to Expand effortlessly.

poverty of the lover

The true lover gazes toward the reality of things:

My eyes so fix
upon your image
that whatever I gaze at
I imagine you.

Wherever he looks he finds that Face
and therefore needs everything he sees.

"Poverty is intrinsic need;
it has nothing to do with this or that."

And why does nothing need the lover?
One can only need something which exists.
But the lover, outwardly detached and inwardly disengaged,
has returned the robe of existence and all its trappings
- which he only held in trust -
... Again he has donned the patched cloak of his own nothingness.
"He is ... as he was in eternity-without-beginning,"
and in such a state, who needs him?

But...in poverty there comes a state
wherein the poor man himself needs nothing.
As one of them said,
"The poor man is not is not in need of God Himself!"
Need, after all, is an attribute of the existent;
but he who dives into the sea of nothingness
needs no more.
His poverty is complete.

You are nothing
when you wed the One;
but you are everything
when you become nothing.

~ Fakhruddin 'Iraqi
from Divine Flashes

https://beautywelove.blogspot.com/2013/04/poverty-of-lover.html

A lover doesn't figure the odds.

He figures he came clean from God
as a gift without a reason,
so he gives without cause
or calculation or limit.

A conventionally religious person
behaves a certain way
to achieve salvation.

A lover gambles everything, the self,
the circle around the zero! He or she
cuts and throws it all away.
This is beyond any religion.

Lovers do not require from God any proof,
or any text, nor do they knock on a door
to make sure this is the right street.
They run,
and they run.

AFTERNOON

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE
JOHN MCINTOSH

There is nothing to ‘fix’ … not in your own life,
humanity’s or the world itself.
Nothing is out of order.

Can a dream be somehow wrong?
It comes in brilliant Light or shadowed darkness but remains ‘only’ a dream.
Your body, your mind, your life experience … is all a dream.
It is not wrong, and you are NOT wrong … you are simply dreaming.
No matter how you tweak your dream
[try to fix yourself and the world],
it is still just a dream.

When you have had every dream experience [several times],
as if you had watched every movie ever produced,
the allure will have faded and the mind
that projected each dream-experience will also have dissolved
along with the person you call you.

This point of saturation arises for everyone
[who are also aspects of the grand dream] …
‘YOU’ are the only ONE there is
despite enormous evidence to the contrary.

As these words are written,
it is YOU who writes them.
Even ‘surrender’ is NOT a choice
but an inevitable aspect of the dream
that tells you dream stories about ‘free will and control’.

You ‘are’ God or ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness – NOW
… the dream you dream cannot change that.

There ‘is’ no possibility of you being
somehow ‘left out’ of this eventual Awareness.

When you at last become fully Aware of this single Truth,
your sojourn within the dream will become softer,
gentler and you will begin to see
God ‘in’ and ‘as’ everything.

Resistance will dwindle to ‘What Is’
and the Moment of full Awakening to Who You Really Are
will ‘rush’ to greet you
with the Love that IT ‘is’.

Your Original Depth - Eckhart Tolle

Partly as a result of the spiritual teachings
that have arisen outside the established religions,
but also due to an influx of the ancient
Eastern wisdom teachings,
a growing number of followers of traditional religions
are able to let go of identification with form,
dogma, and rigid belief systems
and discover the original depth
that is hidden within themselves.

They realize that how 'spiritual'
you are has nothing to do with what you believe but everything to
do with your state of consciousness.
This, in turn, determines how
you act in the world and interact with others.

Many people are already aware
of the difference between spirituality and religion.
They realize that having a belief system
- a set of thoughts that you regard as absolute truth -
does not make you
spiritual no matter what the nature of those beliefs is.

In fact, the more you make your thoughts [beliefs]
into your identity,
the more cut off you are from
the spiritual dimension within yourself.

Many 'religious' people are stuck at that level.
They equate truth with thought,
and
as they are completely identified with thought
[their mind],
they claim to be in sole possession of the truth
in an unconscious attempt
to protect their identity.

What is arising now is not a new belief system, a new religion,
spiritual ideology, or mythology.
We are coming to an end,
not only of mythologies but also ideologies and belief systems.

The change goes deeper than the content of your mind,
deeper than your thoughts...
to your Original Depth...

Eckhart Tolle

People discuss dogmas, beliefs,
and moral principles,
as they know them.
But there comes a time in a man's life
when he has touched truth
of which he cannot speak in words;
and at that time all dispute,
discussion,
argument ends.

(Costing not less than everything) --
T. S. Eliot, Little Gidding, excerpt

Reality is merely an illusion,
although a very persistent one.
—Albert Einstein

We are like the spider.
We weave our life and then move along in it.
We are like the dreamer who dreams
and then lives in the dream.
This is true for the entire universe.
—The Upanishads...

Give up all.
The correct understanding will be
when you realize that whatever you have understood so far,
is invalid.

Give up all and you gain all.
Then life becomes what it was meant to be:
pure radiation from an inexhaustible source.

In that light the world appears dimly, like a dream.
—Nisargadatta Maharaj

As stars, a lamp, a fault of vision,

As dewdrops or a bubble,

A dream, a lightning flash, a cloud,

So one should see conditioned things.

—Diamond Sutra

Start seeing everything as God,

But keep it a secret.

May 25, 2019
Like all matter, that of our physical body is subject to time, and it wears out.
This is what we call growing old, and we all grow old,
which, of course, is not particularly pleasant.
But we are not just a physical body,
and if the wear of the body is in the natural order of things,
internally, nothing forces us to grow old with it.
Therefore,
instead of becoming upset about the physical manifestations of age,
humans should be concerned
with nurturing that which always keeps them young and alive:
their heart.

It is their heart, their capacity to love, not their body,
that makes humans young or old,
and if their heart ages, it is because they allow it to.

How so?
By losing their love for people and things,
by losing their curiosity and their interest for the life
that abounds all around them,
the rich and abundant life of the universe.

But if they strive to feel this life,
if they seek to participate in it,
to introduce it into themselves,
they will not grow old.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

If you want what visible reality
can give, you're an employee.
If you want the unseen world,
you're not living your truth.

Both wishes are foolish,
but you'll be forgiven for forgetting
that what you really want is
love's confusing joy.

NO BETTER GIFT
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

Why are you so afraid of silence?
Silence is the root of everything.
If you spiral into its void,
a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear..
Rumi

When a madman smiles at you -
Rumi

Galen, the great physician, asked one of his assistants
to give him a certain medicine.

"Master, that medicine is for crazy people!
You're far from needing that!"

Galen: Yesterday a madman turned and smiled at me,
did his eyebrows up and down, and touched my sleeve.
He wouldn't have done that if he hadn't recognized
in me someone congenial."

Anyone that feels drawn,
for however short a time, to anyone else,
those two share a common consciousness.
Rumi

Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you,
as fish out of water hear the waves,

hears the drum's
Come back.
Come back.
Rumi

Spirit’s moon in a wide-open sky.
I’ve beat this drum of Love for so long,

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.

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.
