*“IF IT’S MEANT TO BE
IT ALREADY IS
AND
ALL OF LIFE BECOMES A GENTLE DÉJÀ VU”
(ew - TN Woods 1987)

You know, all mystics
-- Catholic, Christian, non-Christian,
no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion --
are unanimous on one thing:
that all is well, all is well.
Though everything is a mess, all is well.
Strange paradox, to be sure.
But, tragically,
most people never get to see that all is well
because they are asleep.
They are having a nightmare.
—Anthony de Mello

Your thinking that you have to make an effort
to get rid of this dream of the waking state,
and your making efforts to attain jnana
(realization of Self)
or real awakening,
are all parts of the dream.
—Ramana Maharshi

Fix the mind in your Heart.
If you keep your attention on the source from where all thoughts arise,
the mind will subside there at the source and reality will shine forth.
Ramana Maharshi

Silence was the state of Bhagavan
and his direct teaching was only through silence.
Those who received his message of silence
had no need whatsoever to talk to him,
much less a need for his instructions.
How can I possibly express in words
the mysterious working of Bhagavan through silence?

—Quoted in Ramana Periya Puranam by V.Ganesan, page 284.
https://realization.org/p/ramana/ramana.html

...let your whole thought in meditation
be not on the act of seeing,
nor on what you see,
but immovably on that which sees.

The Daily Lesson – June 18, 2019

We cannot expect the Spirit of God
to go out and do things of a temporal nature for us:
find a house, provide an automobile,
or put our competitor out of business.
Spiritual power is not temporal Power;
it is not a power that is subject to our bidding or our will;
it does not punish those who wrong us;
it is not something that we can use;
it will not give us a monopoly of all the dollars,
nor will it make us dictators
or help us pull down existing dictators.”
~Joel S Goldsmith

Isaiah 40:13 (KJV)
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

Matt 6:31-33 (KJV)
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

Is there an error in God’s Kingdom that needs correcting?

AFTERNOON

INFINITE PATIENCE
JOHN MCINTOSH

When you Awaken from a deep sleep
an entirely ‘new’ universe/world springs into being ‘for the first time’.
It was not there without your Attention
and it shows up basically the same as past universes
you have experienced due to your
unique conditioning, memory and imagination …
it is literally ‘made-up’ on the spot.
There is no evolution over billions of years
[that is part of the dream-story it is].

When you are Free, time and space do not exist.
There is no ‘from here to there’ …
there is only a full-blown dream you
still choose to play within – AWAKE.

All the objects animate or inactive
[actually everything in the dream is a swirling maelstrom of activity]
have been placed there
like a child building a miniature city with toy pieces – instantly!

The coffee shop you visit regularly is NOT there
until you think of it and there only as an ephemeral thought-form,
gone as soon as your Attention shifts
and there again in more concrete form
when you arrive at your ‘remembered’ destination of it.

The concept of something evolving, changing,
getting better ‘or’ worse is just that –
a concept and NOT real.

A dream is not ‘partially’ a dream
with a little reality mixed in
that appeals to your made-up false self.
It is totally a dream – always and in all ways
no matter how dramatic its stories are.

The dream-clock resets every day and the universe,
your world and your unique experience
is an entirely new dream with many pieces
in the same place as the last dream
before your deep sleep.
This comes as a ‘major shock’ for many
[and will mostly be resisted]
who have so much invested in trying
to change the world.

The Truth cannot be comprehended by ‘split’ Attention …
you must choose Truth
over every passing, seductive spectre
before IT will ‘undress’ for you.

IT is patient ‘beyond’
even the concept of patience
and will wait for your ALL-IN commitment.

IT ‘knows’ IT is simply watching IT SELF
play in the field of dreams
‘with’ IT SELF.

** PRIMAL REPOSE

There is only one state.
When corrupted and tainted by self-identification,
it is known as an individual.
When merely tinted by the sense of presence,
of animated consciousness,
it is the impersonal witnessing.
When it remains in its pristine purity,
untainted and untinted in primal repose,
it is
the Absolute.

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.

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

There Are No Frames for the Soul

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.

VULNERABILITY
JOHN MCINTOSH

When you finally say I have had enough
of the roller coaster ride of happiness and sorrow
and surrender to Life,
allowing IT to Live you - completely
... you will be shown in every moment precisely what to do,
where to go,
what to say and to whom.

Its that simple
but it means embracing uncertainly
and walking totally into the Unknown.

Vulnerability is vastly more powerful
than all the illusions about control,
free will and following
some ever-shifting set
of societal rules
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/vulnerability

Shift your attention from words to silence and you will hear.
Sri Ramana Maharshi
http://nomindsland.blogspot.com/

AFTERNOON

Silence is the true teaching. It is the perfect teaching.
    It is suited only for the most advanced seeker.
    The others are unable to draw full inspiration from it.
    Therefore they require words to explain the truth.
    But truth is beyond words….

    Sri Ramana Maharshi
http://nomindsland.blogspot.com/

Every form reflects It,
Yet It cannot be seen by the eyes.
In silence,
A subtler inner eye opens
That sees the Real underlying all appearances.
Wu Hsin

Ridding oneself of ignorance is
Worth more than the acquisition of knowledge.
With memory gone
The past is gone
Relinquishing hopes and fears
The future is gone.
The present is upon you.
In every moment.
You are free.

Wu Hsin

People need words until
Direct experience speaks louder.
Then, silence prevails.
It is for this reason that
Wu Hsin writes.

From
GOD I AM
Peter O. Erbe
Chapter 6 – SELF-RELIANCE

If approached by Truth,
the sneer of the altered Ego is only too familiar,
because it perceives Truth as the threat,
and not itself.

Such a Self tends to give way to lowly doubt,
by asking True Perception:
‘How do you know?
Where do you know it from?’

It would be the same as walking in the rain and being wet,
the question being asked:
‘How come you know you are wet?’
We know we are wet because we are wet,
it is as simple as that.
The soul issuing forth Truth knows because it is Truth.

If we only cared to slow down,
lift our eyes but for a moment from our daily busy-ness
or find stillness in the silent thunder of a sunrise
and dared to look within,
we would find something so precious
against which all things pale into nothingness.

If we braved ourselves to look where we constantly look from,
we would discover that we are really much wiser than we think.

If two or three gather to communicate and thoughts
should ascend from the personal to the impersonal,
that is from the material to the things of the Spirit,
then greatness is born.

Then the I AM gushes forth its truth and we are surprised
at the wealth of knowing we carry in the depths of our heart.
Then the intellect is by-passed,
and communication occurs along the golden thread
which runs through all men
– simpleton and genius alike –
and that is the heart.

It is here and not in intellect where virtue resides.
It is here where Spirit dwells,
and Spirit is wild and free,
it cannot be tamed by creeds, dogmas and concepts,
it cannot feed on dollars
or the things dollars can buy,
but on greater thought
which lifts the Soul above
the petty bickerings
of the marketplace.

If men communicate thus,
they become conscious of their unity,
then it matters not who utters words of Truth,
for they know it is the property of all,
it is the nectar of the Soul.

It is eternal,
and Man’s treasured progress
becomes as fugitive dust
in the light of the Soul.

This is true sustenance,
and lifts a man beyond his private Self,
transmutes him into the knowing of his essence,
his God-SELF,
thus each of such men shall part
a greater man than when he came.

According to his truth shall a man avail.
Such a one need not conform
-he owns his truth-
he finds true security in his Being,
and that is God.

SMILED

There is a well known Eastern legend
giving the idea of a soul who had found truth.
There was a wall of laughter and of smiles.
This wall existed for ages and many tried to climb it, but few succeeded.

Those who had climbed upon it saw something beyond,
and so interested were they that they smiled,
climbed over the wall and never returned.

The people of the town began to wonder
what magic could there be and what attraction,
that whoever climbed over the wall never returned.
So they called it the wall of mystery.

Then they said,
'We must make an enquiry and send someone
who can reach the top,
but we must tie him with a rope to hold him back.'

When the man they had thus sent reached the top of the wall,
he smiled and tried to jump over it,
but they pulled him back.
Still he smiled, and when the people eagerly asked,
'what did you see there?'
He did not answer, he only smiled.

This is the condition of the seer.
The man who in the shrine of his heart has seen the vision of God,
the one who has the realization of truth,
can only smile,
for words can never really explain what truth means.

the important thing is the tear falling down your cheek
miriam louisa

THERE'S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO HAVE A GOOD CRY

When the courage (le cœur: heart, French) to sit still and see what might bubble up from the heart’s cauldron finds us –
and finds us innocent of any agenda to analyse,
to fix or flee, tears will most assuredly flow.

I was already ancient when, by some wild grace,
courage found me and guided me into my body’s dark knowledge.
(I wrote about it in this post
at my ‘echoes from emptiness’ blog –
following fear into the star-stuff of my cells).
(https://echoesfromemptiness.com/2017/10/30/following-fear-into-the-star-stuff-of-my-cells/)

In my cocksure ignorance I assumed
it would all be done and dusted within a modest time-frame.

Three years later the tears are still falling,
the heart is still cracking, crumbling, awash in tenderness,
trembling with bliss.

(Yes, bliss – I had no idea that bliss
is simply the opening of the heart.)

Yet now the tears arise from a depth beyond the personal,
from a well of sorrow that’s ownerless.

Personally I don’t feel the need for notions of karma and reincarnation,
but my lived experience shows me
that whatever is happening here
is dynamically all-inclusive
and interpenetrating across time and space.

No separation can be found.
The tears belong to all of us because there is only one of us.

WHAT I LOVE:
Making things.
Marveling at the way the stepping stones
form under my feet when I’m walking the via creativa
without fear of the unknown.

The joy of watching students awaken to their authenticity,
both in visual language and in the big artwork of Life.
And last but not least – the unknowable Bright,
the silence behind everything thought, experienced or created.

In another age I might have been called a mystic,
but I’m much too greedy for Life to be a true contemplative.

Everything I hunger for is right here under my nose,
in the everyday moment-by-moment miracle of Creation.
Not even under my nose –
it’s inseparable from this matrix called ‘me’.

To give that immensity expression in a way that beckons,
touches and embraces viewers
with an ineffable yet tangible blessing –
that’s what really interests me.

All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

O, friend! Nobody veils you, but yourself.
In your path there is no thorn or weed, but yourself.
You asked: shall I reach the Beloved or not?

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
The Voice That Precedes Thought
https://www.josephplan.org/bio_TaraSingh.html

Touched by the memory
of God,
we are here
to change the destiny of stars.

The memory of God
is an impeccable space
intact within each one
guarded by His Grace.

The remembrance is not verbal.
It is a Presence.
You attain it not through learning.

Every time you love another
it is in remembrance of God.
When you are transformed
the whole world is affected.

Once your eyes are open
you see the perfection in everything.
You are never part of
the idiosyncracies of another person,
for you do not relate at that level.
You relate from a state of love
in which both become one.

Do not ever underestimate yourself
- that is a denial of your glory.
Nothing exists in this universe
that is not to serve you.

All the benedictions of Heaven
are upon the person
who wants to discover the perfection
within himself.

Love is the only thing which will give an answer to all our problems..
Be alone, sometimes,
and if you are lucky it might come to you,
on a falling leaf,
or from that distant solitary tree
in an empty field.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

My secret is simple. I pray.
Mother Teresa

Sitting quietly, doing nothing.
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.
Zen poem

The teachers of God have trust in the world,
because they have learned
it is not governed by the laws the world made up.

It is governed by a Power That is in them but not of them.
It is this Power That keeps all things safe.
A Course In Miracles

Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty.
Let us strive to deserve...the continued care of Divine Providence,
trusting that, in future national emergencies,
He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security.
Destroy that spirit,
and you have planted the seeds of despotism

Abraham Lincoln

The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed
than he who reads them,
inasmuch as he who knows nothing
is nearer the truth than he whose mind is filled
with falsehoods and errors.
Thomas Jefferson

Peace of the world lies not in inventions but in men’s hearts and men’s souls...
to sustain life, we need less rather than more;
to protect life, we need courage and integrity,
not weapons, not coalitions.
Henry David Thoreau

There are different kinds of poverty.
In India some people live and die in hunger.
There, even a handful of rice is precious.

“But in the West you have another kind of poverty, spiritual poverty.
This is far worse....

You have the poverty of people who are dissatisfied with what they have,
who do not know how to suffer, who give in to despair.
This poverty of heart is often more difficult to relieve and to defeat.
In the West you have many more broken homes,
neglected children, and divorce on a huge scale.
Mother Theresa

Love is not love if it can be turned to hate.
Real relationship is not affected
by one person’s agreeing or disagreeing with another.
It is a space beyond likes and dislikes,
beyond good and bad,
where everything is reconciled and seen in a new light.
Tara Singh

#42 WORRY
OSHO
TRANSFORMATION TAROT

Have you ever taken note of one thing? –
the present is always juicy the present is always blissful.

Worry and suffering are created
either by what you wanted to do in the past
and could not do,
or by what you want to do in the future
and don’t know whether you will be able to do or not.

Did you ever notice,
did you ever look at this small truth,
that there is no suffering in the present,
there is no worry?

This is why the present does not disturb the mind –
anxiety disturbs the mind.

There is no suffering in the present.
The present doesn’t know suffering--
the present is such a small moment
that suffering cannot fit into it.
In the present only heaven can fit, not hell.
Hell is too big!

The present can only be peace,
can only be happiness.

David Carse - ‘nobody home’

The flute does not know music:
it does not know ‘G’ from ‘B flat;’
it does not know tempo or emphasis,
and cannot make music come out of itself:
it’s just a hollow bamboo stick with holes in it!

It is the musician who has the knowledge
and the skill and the intention
and the dexterity, and whose breath
blows through the instrument
and whose fingers manipulate the openings
so that beautiful music flows out.

When the music is ended,
no one congratulates the wooden stick
on the music it made:
it is the musician who is applauded and thanked
for this beautiful gift of music.

It is precisely so with what we think of as our ‘selves.’
We are instruments, hollow sticks,
through which the Breath, the Spirit, the Energy
which is Presence,
All That Is,
Consciousness, flows.

Just as it is not the flute making the note,
but the Musician making the note through the instrument,
so it is the breath which is Presence
which animates this mind and body
and comes out through this mouth
to make it seem
that this mouth is speaking words.

The basic misunderstanding,
the basic ignorance,
is this unwitting usurpation of the role of Musician
by the instrument.

This inversion of the truth is spontaneously realized
when the Understanding occurs.
It becomes obvious that there is no individual,
that there is ‘nobody home,’
no entity here to be the doer or not.

Because awakening
is.....

...simply the Understanding
that there is no one here to awaken.

~ David Carse, Perfect Brilliant Stillness

AFTERNOON

What in your life is calling you?
When all the noise is silenced,
the meetings adjourned,
the lists laid aside,
and the wild iris blooms by itself
in the dark forest,
what still pulls on your soul?
—Rumi

DIMENSIONS
JOHN MCINTOSH

There ‘is’ only ONE,
despite the appearance of many.

This ONE may be called Pure Conscious Awareness,
SELF or many other names.
IT is indivisible
but when the belief in separation is present
the ‘Light’ of Consciousness
seems to ‘split’ into numberless parts.

This phenomena [illusion or dream]
is also represented by the concept of ‘dimensions’,
which are only levels ‘of’ the Awareness of ONE.

The less the Awareness,
the so called lower the level
of ‘perception’ of dimensions.

The third dimension is the most commonly known
with much talk about
4th and 5th dimensions in recent years.

You are NOT the body-mind-identity [a person]
or the thoughts the mind generates
… anything that is temporary is NOT Real …
just part of the projections
on the screen of Consciousness or Nothing-ness
when separation is believed in.

When Consciousness departs a body-mind-identity
[what the false self calls death]
it does not go to a so called ‘other side’ …
it ‘goes’ nowhere since ONE
has no distance to and from anything.

The projected dream continues in a subtler body
[also an illusion]
and leads the dreamer to other dream experiences …
all with the single purpose of Awakening
to the full Awareness of the ONE IT ‘is’.

The departure from the body
does not somehow bring you to Truth.
All this activity is simply dreaming ‘within’ dreams ...
no matter how beautiful or so called ‘spiritual’ it may seem.

The mind loves phenomena
and makes these concepts of dimensions,
subtle bodies and other unseen entities
somehow ‘special’ …they are NOT,

......(they are)
just another variety of dreaming
but with an enormous influence
to ‘distract’ you from the
only purpose you are here for …

the full Awareness
of the God you ‘are’
as ONE.

Don't be afraid to show your light..
If it ends up being too much for people..
tell them to wear sunglasses!
Gabrielle Roth

You just have to determine
to settle for nothing less than being FULLY ALIVE,
to show up, be who you are,
and share your gifts.

NEUTRAL
JOHN MCINTOSH

Neutral does not express opinions.
It does not resist, complain,
react or judge.
It ‘observes’.

If you are driving a stick shift automobile
in either forward or backward,
and then shift into ‘neutral’
the car will continue moving for a while
due to the already existing momentum.
This is true of your life experiences as well.

In the neutral position of non-reaction … of observation,
you will still experience some of the momentum
of a given situation,
but you will NOT be adding to it.

The Dog Innately Knows "NEUTRAL" he was VERY STILL....watching me as i returned from sunrise beach...

In spiritual terms
you will not be creating more karma
with which to express the same ‘type’
of experience again.

This is saying YES to ‘What IS’.
This means that the ‘conditioning’
that defines the false-self-identity
[attachments, expectations and identifications]
is NOT being ‘Expanded’
… it is being witnessed or observed
as something which is
NOT who you are.

The false self will complain
that this is boring or not living
because it requires constant ‘involvment in activity’
in order to ‘feel’ alive despite its roller coast ride
between happiness and sorrow.

The addiction to this constant ‘ride’
must burn out before ‘Neutral’
becomes ‘consistently’ appealing, ...

.....but there is no need to force it
your Freedom is inevitable
because that ‘is’
Who You Really Are.

AFTERNOON

When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
when we escape like squirrels turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forests again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us so that we do not know ourselves.

Cool, undying life will rush in,
passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.

Even after Jesus had revealed the nature of spiritual power to his disciples,
they were unable to catch the full import of it sufficiently
to carry on his teaching to any great extent.

And how many have there been since the time of the Master
who have discovered this teaching in the Bible?
The reason few, if any,
have found it is because spiritual teaching
is something that cannot be grasped by those
living primarily in the material and mental realm.

As a matter of fact,
no one will ever learn the secret of spiritual power
with his mind.

“I wish I could live underwater.
Maybe then my skin
would absorb the sea’s consoling silence.”
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

I realize that if I wait until
I am no longer afraid to act, write, speak, be,
I'll be sending messages on a Ouija board,
cryptic complaints from the other side.
~Audre Lorde

That we can see and understand everything
just as well alive as dead,
only when we're alive we don't have the time,
or the peace of mind,
or the inclination to see and understand
what we could.
We're too busy rushing to our graves.
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

“Solitude, Celia realizes now,
exists for us not to remember but to forget.”
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

For many years in Cuba,
nobody spoke of the problem between blacks and whites.
It was considered too disagreeable to discuss.
But my father spoke to me clearly
so that I would understand what happened to his father
and his uncles during the Little War of 1912,
so that I would know how our men were hunted down
day and night like animals,
and finally hung by their genitals from the lampposts in Guáimaro.

The war that killed my grandfather and great-uncles
and thousands of other blacks
is only a footnote in our history books.

Why, then, should I trust anything I read?

I trust only what I see, what I know with my heart, nothing more.
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

"Papi, I don't know what to do anymore." Lourdes begins to cry.
"No matter what I do, Pilar hates me."
"Pilar doesn't hate you, hija.
She just hasn't learned to love you yet."
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

Felicia stayed on the fringe of life
it was free of everyday malice.
It was more dignified there.
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

Perhaps only this: that the greatest danger in life is certainty.
Yes, I do believe that.
Our last redoubt in the world is wonder.
Wonder and unknowing.

Now and then a random detail
will stir me to faint recognitions:
a row of dead beetles in the grass;
the chapped knees of some dowager on the S-bahn.

Tantalizing signs reminding me
that infinity billows out from every moment.
That's when I lean in, sniff the air,
cock my ears like a foxhound-
and listen.
― Cristina García, Here in Berlin

She ponders the transmigrations from southern latitudes.
the millions moving north.
What happens to their languages?
The warm burial grounds they leave behind?
What of their passions lying stiff and untranslated in their breasts?
― Cristina García, Dreaming in Cuban

AFTERNOON

Dr.Javad Nurbakhsh - Image of Existence

Come, so we can wash away the image of existence
and no longer speak of 'I' and 'we'.

Come, and like us let your thoughts pass away;
forget both worlds and be silent.

Come, but beware of the shame of knowing
send those endless lines of learning from your head.

Come, so we can cast far away all sayable things
and blind our eyes to all there is to see.

Come, we will be strangers to all
and seem mad in the eyes of the intellectuals.

Come, we'll empty ourselves of self
and leave behind the disgrace of I and we.

Come, and welcome un-fulfillment,
for we do not suppose our self's desires to be the goal.

Come, and be drowned in the Ocean of Unity,
free from all thoughts of union and separation.

As this world is not even worth a grain of sand,
other than what is old and new, it is nothing.

In the Garden of The Beloved
March 29 ·

SILENCE, STILLNESS, PEACE

My home is very near a busy road,
But Sitting in its lush garden,
The din and clamor, so close by,
While deemed by some, disruptive,
Is to me a Reminder that Silence,
Has naught to do with sound.

For hearing the myriad notes of Life,
Whether melodious or dissonant,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Intoxicated at The Tavern of The Beloved,
Where Enraptured, it cups its ears and asks,
“Hmm, did you say something?”

My mind moves in continuous thought,
But Resting within myself,
The flow of words and images,
While deemed by some, a distraction,
Is to me a Reminder that Stillness,
Has naught to do with movement.

For as thoughts and images flow,
Whether pleasurable or discordant,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Entranced by the Face of The Beloved,
Where, without turning from Her,
It gestures, “You go on ahead.”

The psyche’s weather roils, ever changing,
But Abiding as the formless Sky,
The inconstancy of calm and catastrophe,
While deemed by some, a hindrance,
Is to me a Reminder that Peace,
Has naught to do with change.

For whether the vicissitudes of emotion,
Bring sunlit joy or darkening sorrow,
Within, my Soul’s attention is elsewhere,
Lost in Reverie of The Changeless One,
Ever Radiant in the Heart of Being,
Timeless, Spaceless, Objectless.

Abandoning silence and clamor,
We become Silence.
Abandoning stillness and motion,
We become Stillness.
Abandoning peace and unrest,
We become Peace.

Abandoning all dualities,
We become our Essence.

AFTERNOON

IN THE GARDEN OF TIME

“What have I done wrong?”
The ripening fruit bemoaned,
While, burgeoning with nectar,
And rich with the colors of fruition,
A little green remained near the stem.

“Surely, this is my fault!”
The tender bud lamented,
When, upon first opening to sunlight,
The promise of flowering revealed,
Its delicate petals remained yet veiled.

Some of our deepest wounds,
Are judgements, self-inflicted,
Endless paper cuts upon our spirit,
Made by an inherently imperfect “self”,
Despising its imperfection.

When in fact, the green-stemmed fruit,
The infant petals in a sheltering bud,
Are as they should be, in their time,
On schedule to arrive, in their time,
In this Dream of passing seasons.

For here, in The Garden of Time,
What is not yet, becomes what is,
And what is, becomes what was,
And our manifest Being, ever ripening,
Is not yet, now, as it will be, then.

On this Path of Love and Surrender,
Tend gently the seedling of your Heart,
Doing the needful, as you are able,
Then Surrender, giving yourself over,
Sweet unripened...

To The Beloved Gardener.

resolves itself into crystal clearness.

We all know that something is eternal.
And it ain’t houses and it ain’t names, and it ain’t earth, and it ain’t even the stars . . . everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal,
and that something has to do with human beings.
All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that
for five thousand years and yet you’d be surprised
how people are always losing hold of it.
There’s something way down deep
that’s eternal about every human being.
― Thornton Wilder, Our Town

Yes, now you know. Now you know!

That's what it was to be alive.
To move about in a cloud of ignorance;
to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those...of those about you.
To spend and waste time as though you had a million years.
To be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion, or another.

Now you know --
that's the happy existence you wanted to go back to.

Ignorance and blindness.”
― Thornton Wilder, Our Town

Wherever you come near the human race
there’s layers and layers of nonsense.

AFTERNOON

THE SPECTACULAR DREAM
John McIntosh

LOVE is the universal language of the God-SELF You Are.
IT sings to you of Freedom hidden in plain sight.

IT reaches out to you between
the prison bars of limitation
through Nature in sublime fragrances
and the precise mathematics
of its symmetry
as it ceaselessly illustrates
the magnificent
swirling cycle
of
the Golden Ratio everywhere.

IT dances in waterfalls and
paints with the brush of rainbows.
IT sings in winds that rustle delightfully
through leaves and
ITs face is everywhere,
peaking out of exquisite structures sculpted
with branches and twigs that come and go
in an instant while laughing
at your seriousness.

IT ‘uses’ the spectacular dream
you have fabricated to hide within
to unveil the Love in Action that is Grace...
… the very Heart of the Real YOU.

IT speaks to IT SELF in every breath.

When finally,
your thoughts slow to a stop
and the mind’s steel door dissolves,
IT exposes the Perfection YOU are …
never missing,
revealed in the
Silence of Nothing-ness.

John McIntosh
https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/the-spectacular-dream

Nothing can distract you from meditation,
when everything becomes a part of meditation.
This is meditation without a path, without a goal,
without a script.
It is meeting everything
within you as a good friend.

Moonset High in Western Sky

Wednesday, May 22, 2019

You have all of eternity to explore the wealth of riches
the Creator has placed within you.

Do not look elsewhere,
for they are all within you.
Each and every day, you must dig,
delve and seek to discover them.

Unless you search within,
even if you were magically transported to a place in paradise,
you would continue to wander
starving, parched, and helpless.

But if you have begun to discover paradise within you,
wherever you go,
whatever the conditions,
nothing can drive you out.

The outside world will certainly not have changed
and you will encounter the same difficulties,
the same ugliness,...

...but because of the changes wrought within you,
you will live increasingly in
peace, beauty and light.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

What disturbs and alarms man,
are not the things,
but his opinions and fantasies
about the things.
Epictetus

A Symbolic Universe -
Ernst Cassirer

..man lives in a symbolic universe.
Language, myth, art, and religion are parts of this universe.
They are the varied threads which weave the symbolic net,
the tangled web of human experience.
All human progress in thought and
experience refines and strengthens this net.
Physical reality seems to recede
in proportion as man's symbolic activity
advances.

He has so enveloped in linguistic forms, in artistic images,
in mythical symbols or religious rites that he cannot see
or know anything except by the interposition of this
artificial medium.

His situation is the same in the
theoretical as in the practical sphere.
Even here man does
not live in a world of hard facts,
or according to his immediate
needs and desires.

He lives, rather, in the midst of imaginary
emotions, in hopes and fears,
in illusions and disillusions,
in his fantasies and dreams.

'What disturbs and alarms man,'
said Epictetus, 'are not the things, but his opinions and fantasies
about the things.'

Ernst Cassirer
German Philosopher
From - An Essay on Man:

When there is prejudice and resentment in you,
it will make you suffer
more than
physical disease or injury.

It is what you are that heals,
not what you know.
CG Jung

"Please remember, Carl Jung told Robert Johnson,
'it is what you are that heals, not what you know.'
Balancing Heaven and Earth
shows us who Robert Johnson is.
Its healing power is palpable."

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

From Rumi's Little Book of Love and Laughter
version by Coleman Barks

Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you,
as fish out of water hear the waves,
or a hunting falcon
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,
for you whom I adore, singing:
“My life depends upon my dying”
This keeps my body and soul alive.
I dream but I do not sleep.
Rumi

Our spirits know truth
and know each other.

We would rather be ruined than changed.
We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the present
And let our illusions die.
~W. H. Auden

If you want the truth,
I’ll tell you the truth:
Listen to the secret sound,
the real sound,

Kabir

Expectation is the grandfather of disappointment.
The world can never own a man who wants nothing.

To think, there must be someone reflecting, subject and object.

More re: Aisha:
After 6 years of living herself into the fulfillment of her wishes,
Aisha was called into solitude of retreat.
The calling into Silence invited her beyond the Self/I Am,
into the Primordial Silence.
The Absolute.
For 2,5 years she was in retreat, in deep cultivation of Space,
turning the Fire of Love into Diamond sharp Clarity
– merging with the Silence which is prior to God.

By the end of her retreat,
Life began its return as a landing back into the Earth.
A happening which called for the embrace
of the human conditioning and healing
of the human wound in all of its facets
for a true emptying out of the ground and recognition
of the Feminine Essence and Wholeness
of
the True human.

See this Link for More of her story:
https://aishasalem.com/about/

Grace is a drop of Acceptance
on every moment's revelation
Aisha
https://aishasalem.com/work-with-aisha/retreating-with-aisha/

The realisation as pure Awareness in itself
(completely beyond subject and object)
is an absolute passing beyond the beyond in the way,
which allows for the total disappearance to the Absolute.
That, which is prior to God.

In approaching the Awakening of the Truth-body,
we face the implosion of the ego-identity on mind-level,
in moving with the recognition of and merging into
the Primordial Silence.
Aisha
https://aishasalem.com/about/teachings/

The primordial Silence as the vastness of Pure Mind
is Absolute Peace in and as Total Absence.
Out of unborn stillness
rises the Heart essence as Enlightened Intent.
With no ownership and no conceptually rooted purpose,
it moves like water on stone –
endlessly affecting and timelessly marking
its Silence through its ever clearer expression.
Aisha
https://aishasalem.com/the-primordial-silence/

Deeply surrendered to The Absolute
we are left only with the peace of pure Mind,
which has no reference to anything but recognition as Being –
the ground of Basic Space itself. ...

... In the deepest of Respect and Love for what is Ultimately True,
the embrace of Silence through our every movement,
in our every way,
is the growing Love for-
and surrender to Reality.
Aisha

AFTERNOON

The Below Daily Offering/Sharing by John MccIntosh
Arrived on my e-mail at 11 AM this morning
just as we finished the morning's OceanSpeak.
More Synchronicity...
What Times These Are!!!

NOT THE LOVE OF ...
John McIntosh

Not the Love of
Fleeting moments
Or of dangling baubles
That capture the craving heart
For a moment

Not the Love of
Sentimentality
That raises the spirit
Then flies away, replaced
By another new and exciting

Not the Love of
Power
That breathes fire for a season
Then flickers to nothing
Extinguished by today’s flame

I serve only the Love
That has no beginning
And never ends
It is eternal
Relying on nothing

It is the Love
Without conditions
That embraces the Light
As well as the dark
And sees no difference

This Love has
No boundaries
And lives in every breath
Fills all space
And cannot be confined

This Love knows me
‘As’ IT SELF
Who sees only IT SELF
In All That Is
As well as Nothing

John McIntosh

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/not-the-love-of

There is no need to avoid false thoughts or seek true ones
because all thought is spontaneous,
involuntary and without substance.
It is neither to be accepted nor rejected
but ignored
so that it disappears
as spontaneously as it appeared.
Ramesh S. Basekar
The Net of Jewels

To be free,
One must untie oneself from
The seeming independent entity called me.
Wu Hsin

Those who don't know
Believe
Wu Hsin

Heaven and hell are only
Lodgings for individuals.
When the fiction of individuals is seen through,
Heaven and hell lose all meaning.
Nothing to do,
nowhere to go;
Now or later.
Once the silence is established,
True listening can begin.

For forty years,
just like everybody else,
I believed I was my thoughts and my body :
I believed I was somebody.
And then there was a shift.
Spontaneously, in a flash, mind was totally silent.

Not a single thought:
silence, stupefaction, profound astonishment left no room
for anything else whatsoever.

Thus I started observing.
The way I operated had changed.
There was this “thing”, the silence…
and alongside that there was “everything else”.

The name I give to this “everything else” is “I am”,
that is to say whatever arises from one moment to the next:
I saw that everything appeared within this thing,
this silence,
from moment to moment.
That everything disappeared within it too.
Yolande Duran

Beginning Paragraphs of Entire Interview here....with Yolande Duran
http://yolandeduran.com/en/interview-magazine-3eme-millenaire/

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles.

Meantime within man is the soul of the whole;
the wise silence;
the universal beauty,
to which every part and particle is equally related;
the eternal ONE.

And this deep power in which we exist,
and whose beatitude is all accessible to us,
is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour,
but the act of seeing and the thing seen,
the seer and the spectacle,
the subject and the object, are one.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson
https://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2019/05/soul-of-whole.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FmnCFM+%28Love+Is+A+Place%29

.....a silence of the soul,
a silence grounded in the great void.
There is something about us
of a piece with the primordial silence.
A silence waiting for God’s speech, for God’s Word.
A silence into which poetry may be spoken,
that poetry being we ourselves: the poetry of our souls,
the poetry of our very bodies.
Br. Mark Brown
https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/ouroboros-of-fresh-silence-memory-sunriseafternoon-may-29-2016

A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wings.
Alone must it seek the ether.
And alone and without its nest
shall the eagle fly across the sun.

POETRY – THE ART OF THE VOICE

How fine will your breath become
from listening to these words?

How soft will they seem to be
as they settle through the mind
like silent snowflakes falling
from a windless winter sky?

I often marvel at the mystery--
how words can work
on a listener’s heart and mind,
upon hearing a poet’s thoughts,
a poet’s breath, flowing
from an inner voice--

a windless wind, speaking
through a voiceless voice.
© Ken Chawkin
https://theuncarvedblog.com/2011/09/18/poem-of-the-day-poetry-the-art-of-the-voice-by-ken-chawkin/

A human being is part of a whole,
called by us the ‘Universe,’
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings,
as something separated from the rest —-
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest us.

Our task must be to free ourselves
from this prison
by widening our circles of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty.
—Albert Einstein

INTERVIEW with Yolande Duran -
Blog, Prensa
"Awakening" in/of/as ONLY SILENCE
(excerpt)

In your own words, you testify to a sudden openness
of the self without a reference point or a long spiritual search.
What were the circumstances of this awakening?
It took only that one moment
to see that all that I thought I was, I am not.
I discovered by myself my true nature,
and since then
I am in a state of profound amazement.

Can you describe what you felt
during this instant when awakening happened?
An absolutely powerful obviousness that took over
everything that I thought I was.
A power that overtook the three states
(wakefulness, sleep and dream)
and all that they contain
This is the most potent power in the universe.
SILENCE HEALS.
My vision has changed completely.
It is no longer me who sees with the eyes of my body
but it is silence that sees.
It is a constant state free of thoughts.
In a word,
my true nature is not to think
but to see the body and the senses
play their roles.

What do you see differently?
Previously,
my attention was focused on the world,
and since this encounter my attention is focused on SILENCE.
So, whether my eyes are open or closed,
I only see that.

What is your teaching?
The teaching of Yolande is only the expression of her own experience and realization. A realized person uses his or her own language.
SILENCE is the best language.
SILENCE is the true teaching.
SILENCE is my unique and only reference.
In the silence of our meetings,
let us be guided
by the power of Silence.

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 entire Chapter:
JOURNEY TOWARDS WHOLENESS
from
GODSEED: The Alchemy of Primordial Memory
Dorothea M. Mills/elizabeth walker

“The more
you evolve spiritually,
the further you pass
from the understanding
of every man.”

“It is the surface of the sea
that makes
waves and roaring breakers;
the depth is silent.”

Hazrat Inayat Khan

DEAR HEART
IT REALLY ISN’T A JOURNEY
IT IS A MOMENT OF AWAKENING
OR
REALIZATION
OR
WHAT YOU WOULD TERM
A
HEALING INSTANT

EVERYTHING THAT YOU COULD EVER BE
IS
ALREADY WITHIN YOU
THE GODSEED THAT YOU ARE
IS
YOUR ONLY TRUTH
AND
THIS HAS BEEN ALL THAT YOU ARE
SINCE
BEFORE TIME

WHOLENESS
IS SIMPLY A MATTER
OF
AWAKENING
TO
THE DIVINITY
THAT IS
YOUR ONLY TRUE SELF

BECAUSE OF EXPERIENCES,
SOUL MEMORIES
AND
ABSORPTION
OF
OTHER REALITIES
INTO YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS,
VEILS OF SHADOWS

IT MAY BE
THAT YOU HAVE NEVER FELT HAPPIER
AND
MORE CONTENT,
YET
SENSE A STIRRING,
AN INNER RESTLESSNESS,

THIS IS THE GODSEED
ATTEMPTING TO STRETCH
TOWARDS EXPRESSION
AND
CLEAR REALIZATION

ATTEMPTING TO EXPAND
THRU THE VEILS
TOWARDS
THE
LOVE/LIGHT
THAT
IS
ALL THAT IS

THERE IS OFTEN INCLINATION
TO SQUELCH
THIS INNER NUDGE OR STIRRING
BY TAKING ON
MORE SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE ACTIVITIES

....AND YOU MAY OFTEN
ACCELERATE THIS WAY OF DENIAL
UNTIL PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL,
OR MENTAL ABERRATIONS
CAUSE
WHAT IS GENERALLY TERMED
“ILLNESS”

THE ILLNESS,
SHOULD YOU ALLOW IT TO DEVELOP,
IS ONLY A SYMPTOM THAT CAUSES
ENOUGH PAIN SO THAT YOU WILL REST
AND
BE STILL
OR
PERHAPS SURRENDER
MORE SELF WILL
AND
ASK FOR HELP

IT IS FAR MORE GENTLE
TO YOUR BEING
AND
TO THOSE AROUND YOU
IF YOU WILL
BUT STILL AND LISTEN
TO THOSE INNER STIRRINGS

FROM THE STILLNESS
EXACTLY THE MOST PERFECT PEOPLE,
PLACES, AND SITUATIONS
CAN ATTRACT TO YOU
IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE
YOUR HEALINGS AND REALIZATIONS

THERE NEED
BE
NO EFFORT
ON YOUR PART,
EXCEPT TO STILL
YOUR BUSY MIND
INTO
THE SILENCE THAT IS BEYOND SILENCE…

AFTERNOON

The Silence of the Stars

When Laurens van der Post one night
In the Kalihari Desert told the Bushmen
He couldn't hear the stars
Singing, they didn't believe him. They looked at him,
Half-smiling. They examined his face
To see whether he was joking
Or deceiving them.

Then two of those small men
Who plant nothing, who have almost
Nothing to hunt, who live
On almost nothing, and with no one
But themselves, led him away
From the crackling thorn-scrub fire
And stood with him under the night sky
And listened.

One of them whispered,
Do you not hear them now?
And van der Post listened, not wanting
To disbelieve, but had to answer,
No.

They walked him slowly
Like a sick man to the small dim
Circle of firelight and told him
They were terribly sorry,
And he felt even sorrier
For himself and blamed his ancestors
For their strange loss of hearing,
Which was his loss now.

On some clear nights
When nearby houses have turned off their televisions,
When the traffic dwindles, when through streets
Are between sirens and the jets overhead
Are between crossings, when the wind
Is hanging fire in the fir trees,
And the long-eared owl in the neighboring grove
Between calls is regarding his own darkness...

...I look at the stars again as I first did
To school myself in the names of constellations
And remember my first sense of their terrible distance,
I can still hear what I thought
At the edge of silence where the inside jokes
Of my heartbeat, my arterial traffic,
The C above high C of my inner ear, myself
Tunelessly humming, but now I know what they are:...

....My fair share of the music of the spheres
And clusters of ripening stars,
Of the songs from the throats of the old gods
Still tending even tone-deaf creatures
Through their exiles in the desert.

—David Wagoner

A grasshopper cannot move in reverse nor move sideways, only ever moving in a forward direction. We only need to think about this for a little to recognize the spiritual lessons involved. By practising the grasshoppers only movements in our own lives. Always moving forward, always open to change and not about to repeat the same mistakes by going backwards.
The sound healing vibration the grasshopper emits moves the very soul to connect spiritually with the earth itself. The sound vibrations meditated upon will open all seven chakras activating spiritual healing. The sound itself eases the mind relaxes the body and soothes lonely straying thoughts. The grasshopper offers its healing to any who’ll listen almost every evening. All we need to do is make ourselves aware and supersensitive to their calling. By psychically tuning into them and their sound while meditating.

DIVINE DISCONTENT
JOHN MCINTOSH

Pure Consciousness Awareness [ONE or God]
is naturally ‘Balanced, Perfect, Pure, Empty’.

When IT sleeps to this Truth
IT believes in a concept called separation
and seems to fragment IT SELF
through a projection on the screen of Consciousness
in a myriad of illusionary forms,
which it seems to enter as IT dreams IT ‘is’ each of these individual entities …
some of which are called humans.

As this occurs there is a constant ‘pull’ back Home
to the full Awareness of Who IT Really Is.
This is called the ‘Divine Discontent’,
which eventually becomes
the pathless-path ‘out’ of the dream.

No matter how deep or dark the dream becomes
for each splinted ‘God-entity’ this powerful ‘pull’
is always calling IT Home.
IT cannot ever actually be ‘lost’
and therefore does NOT need to be ‘saved’
as has been taught for thousands of years by many belief systems
… because, IT is only dreaming …
no matter how ‘real’ that dream may be.

IT only needs to be Awakened ‘from’ the dream to return Home.

This Awakening is in full throttle Now
as countless individual sleeping God-SELVES
have become and are becoming ‘aware’ that they have been dreaming.
In most cases they are NOT Home yet,
but they ‘are’ aware on some level
that their life experience and the world they live it in
‘is’ a dream.

The error that occurs at this stage for most ‘awakening’ ones
it to somehow try to ‘fix’ themselves
because they have not fully comprehended
that their dream body-mind is NOT real and ‘cannot’ be fixed.

The direct route Home is to ‘surrender’ their dream fully
to the Pure Conscious Awareness they ‘are’
and IT will shine the Light on the pathless-path
‘out of’ the dream.

“Not my will but YOUR WILL be done” is one way.
If you are sufficiently frustrated with the dream …
your life will shift dramatically.

THE VITAL ORIGINAL PORTAL-OF ORIGIN..... AT REMEMBRANCE ROCK ON THIS ISLAND

AFTERNOON

Something inside of me has reached to the place
where the world is breathing.
~ Kabir

Be quiet in your mind,
quiet in your senses,
and also quiet in your body.
Then, when all these are quiet,
don't do anything.
In that state truth will reveal itself to you.
Kabir

He is the real Guru Who can reveal the form of the formless before your eyes;
who teaches the simple path, without rites or ceremonies;
Who does not make you close your doors,
and hold your breath,
and renounce the world;

Who makes you perceive the Supreme Spirit
whenever the mind attaches itself;
Who teaches you to be still in the midst of all your activities.
Fearless, always immersed in bliss,
he keeps the spirit of yoga in the midst of enjoyments.
Kabir

Within this body
The Eternal keeps singing
And Its spring goes on and on flowing.
~ Kabir

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself
and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace.
You will find that deep place of silence right in your room,
your garden or even your bathtub.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

It is time to put up a love-swing!
Tie the body and then tie the mind so that
they swing between the arms of the
Secret One you love.
Bring the water that falls from the clouds
to your eyes.
And cover yourself over entirely with the
shadow of the night.
Bring your face up close to Love's ear,
and then talk only about what you want
deeply to happen.

Kabir says:
"Listen to me, friend, bring the face,
shape, and odor of the Holy One inside you."
~ from TRY TO LIVE TO SEE THIS!
by Kabir - Versions by Robert Bly

"At the still point of the turning world.
Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards;
at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement.
And do not all it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered.
Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline.
Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance,
and there is only the dance."
T.S. Eliot

Remember, in the face of Mystery, silence ultimately alone will do:
you simply cannot categorize,
in ANY way, that which is radically Unqualifiable.
You know that Mystery by being Emptiness,
not by conceptualizing it, naming it, labeling it.
Ken Wilber

No, my soul is not asleep.
It is awake, wide awake.
It neither sleeps nor dreams, but watches,
its eyes wide open
far off things, and listens
at the shores of the great silence.
- Antonio Machado

Under all speech that is good for anything
there lies a silence that is better.
Silence is deep as Eternity;
speech is shallow as Time.
Thomas Carlyle

"A tremendous "knowing" comes effortlessly into the mind
when it falls into Silence,
when it gives up trying to understand,
when its reel of stored images
no longer projects abstract pictures
onto the clean screen of simplicity.

This kind of knowing is transmitted
to us as pure revelation,
as a clarity untouched by words
or other symbols of meaning.

When we allow this knowing into our minds,
our very lives become
as clear and startling as this knowing."
Robert Rabbin

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.”

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 have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.

ORIGIN’S VAST SILENCE "...LEAP in Awareness..." "...silent watchfulness and waiting..." "...only in utter silence" May 4, 2019

TRANSPARENT CONDUIT
OF
ORIGIN’S VAST SILENCE
PARTS ALL RED SEAS*

ew
5:54 AM-5/4/19

*13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
It is not up to us to fight, it is up to us to follow.
We have to trust that God not only knows our situation but knows the outcome.
The ability to be still
when everything in you is screaming to do anything but be still
is the essence of faith,
and it is then that we see the greatest miracles.

GOD IS 'NOT' WITHIN YOU
JOHN McINTOSH

God is NOT ‘within’ you.
God [the ONE Reality by any name] ‘cannot be contained’ being Infinite and … there ‘is’ no ‘you’ as an individual person - ‘YOU’ … ARE GOD.

The ‘you’ most call themselves is a fiction made up of attachments,
expectations, identifications, memory and imagination
and changes from moment to moment.
This ‘you’ at age 5 is totally different from ‘you’ at 35.

Truth is eternal and never changing.
That which most call reality,
which includes your immediate surroundings,
your ‘unique’ world
and the universe that ‘seems’ to be somewhere ‘out there’
is totally dependent on this illusory ‘you’
and does NOT exist ‘without’ you.
All of it is a dream ‘within’ YOU.

It is common to hear of the Divine Presence
being somehow ‘enveloped’
within this ‘made-up’ body-mind-identity called ‘you’,
but this is part of the false self’s subtle trickery
to keep you trapped in the dream of separation.

There are a multitude of ‘tiny’ phrases and concepts
that ‘sculpt’ the conditioning which
binds you with paper chains
that seem unbreakable.

‘God within you’, ‘the spark of God within’,
‘surrounded in Light’
and the concept of ‘self improvement
or self empowerment’
are just a few.
None of these is Real
despite the widespread popularity of them.

ONE or Pure Conscious Awareness
[Who You Really Are]
cannot be ‘circumscribed’.
Everything that ‘seems to be’ is ‘contained within’ IT. IT is Emptiness
– Nothing-ness as well as All That Is.

To say that your unique world is ‘within YOU’
[as the God-SELF]
is as accurate as is possible.

This offers a more precise setting
‘from which’ to observe the grand dream
that you have known as reality for eons
and ‘in which’ you may continue to PLAY in,
Free of the binding illusion
that you are an individual person
with some sort of God ‘outside’.

This giant LEAP in Awareness
is available to you in this very Moment.

AFTERNOON

Below in this font from
OSHO

We are very much enclosed in our own psychology,
and we project that psychology all around.

A man of silence finds this whole world is full of silence.
Even the sounds only deepen the silence.
And a man full of noise never becomes aware
of the immense silences in the night.

It all depends on you.
Your world is nothing but you, projected.

Become silent.
In your silence, all questions will disappear.
And the dance will begin, whatever the figure!
Because as far as your inner being is concerned, it has no figure;
it is just a luminous flame which can dance.

It has been eternally there, repressed by you.
You are the greatest enemy of yourself.
My effort is to turn you into the greatest friend of yourself.

A man of silence moves with a certain field of energy around him,
and if you are receptive, his vibe starts touching your heart.

In meditation, silence comes on its own accord.
You simply go on watching the mind without any control,
without any repression,
and silence comes suddenly just like a breeze,
and with the silence, the fragrance of the flowers
— that is your blissfulness;
it is your own fragrance which
you were not capable of knowing
because there was so much noise.

Ask, do everything that is possible, and then finally
— tired, exhausted —
you need to relax;
you even let go of the idea of enlightenment,
it is all futile.

In this silence, when there is no desire stirring your mind,
you suddenly find you are the enlightened one.
That enlightenment was not somewhere else,
it was within you.
But it needed utter silence, no desire.

Enlightenment as such is already there.
You are a buddha,
but you are not aware of it.
How to make you aware of it?
Down the ages, this has been the way,
and I don’t see there is any other possibility.

You will become aware of it only in utter silence.
But the utter silence, a state of no-mind, a pure space,
needs all your desires to be exhausted.

Being in the presence of a master,
silence happens on its own accord.
Just as in the deep Himalayas,
where the snow is eternal and the silence almost ancient…
just sitting there under a tree,
you start feeling, falling in tune with the immensity that surrounds you.
To be in the presence of the master is even more deep-going.

Your inner being can be reflected only in a mirror without any ripples.

No mind
— absolute silence of all thoughts, absence of the mind completely —
becomes the mirror without any ripples,
without even a single fluttering of thought.

And suddenly, the explosion:
you have become aware for the first time of your own being.

What is the point of a beautiful sunrise if you are asleep?
What is the beauty of a rose if you are asleep?
Mind is your sleep, concentrated or not.
Meditation is your awakening.

The moment you awake, sleep disappears and with it all the dreams,
all the projections, all expectations, all desires.
Suddenly you are in a state of desirelessness,
non-ambition, unfathomable silence.
And only in this silence, blossoms flower in your being.
Only in this silence the lotuses open their petals.

Truth is not something that comes from outside,
it arises out of the intensity of your silence.
In fact, the intensity of your silence,
a great silence crystallized,
is truth.

Truth is not something other than silence.
A small silence becomes the door to greater silences,
and finally, the silence itself becomes so condensed
— Gurdjieff used to call it the crystallization —
you find yourself.

In that very finding you have found the truth.
Then life is a sheer joy, a song, a dance, a celebration.

The Lone Tree - Harbour Waters this morning.

If you really want to express the truth,
don’t say anything about it, just leave the gap.
Let people hear without your saying anything.
That’s the only way truth has always been transferred --
from one silent heart to another silent heart.

In utter silence
is the only possibility to meet, to merge, to share.

Silence is all that is needed,
and everything else follows on its own accord.

Meditation is an effort to bring light and to bring joy
and to bring silence and to bring blissfulness,
and out of this beautiful world of meditation
it is impossible for you to do anything wrong.

So I have changed it completely.
Religions were insisting on action;
my insistence is on consciousness,
and consciousness can grow only in silence.

Silence is the right soil for consciousness
. When you are noisy you cannot be very alert and conscious.
When you are conscious and alert, you cannot be noisy --
they cannot co-exist.

Grace comes as a flowering of your being.
The moment your meditation reaches to the deepest core,
to the very center of the cyclone,
a tremendous silence, peace and blissfulness arise within you.

Grace is the total effect of all these qualities:
silence, peace, love, compassion, blissfulness, ecstasy.
When these things arise in you,
their flame, their fire
starts radiating from your physical body.
They are so much they start overflowing.
That overflowing of your inner ecstasy
is what can be defined as grace.

Impatience makes you ugly.
Impatience is a disturbance in your meditation.
Learn to wait.
Be patient and trust that existence will give
you whatever you are ready for.
All that you have to do is to go on deeper in meditation,
beyond mind into silence.
No thoughts, no emotions, no moods,
just a silent watchfulness and waiting
for whatever existence finds you ready for.

THE SILENCE BEFORE SOUND PREVAILS
ALL IS ALWAYS WELL
ew
3:12 AM-5/3/19

When you become aware of silence,
immediately there is that state of inner still alertness.
You are present.
You have stepped out of thousands of years
of collective human conditioning.
Eckhart Tolle

When you cease to fear your solitude,
a new creativity awakens in you.
Your forgotten or neglected wealth begins to reveal itself.
You come home to yourself and learn to rest within.
Thoughts are our inner senses.
Infused with silence and solitude,
they bring out the mystery of inner landscape.
John O’Donohue

WAITING AND PATIENCE
John McIntosh

Waiting and patience on the surface
sound like important attributes of a spiritually oriented person.
However, both suggest desire,
wanting and time in some way.
The God-SELF has no desires of any kind being ‘complete’.

Stillness, also known as Silence
‘is’ Empty [the God-SELF], wanting for nothing.
In every moment, while IT dwells within a body
IT is provided for perfectly.

The false self, which claims it is ‘seeking’ Freedom,
is always looking to gain things and experiences
that it says are for its highest good
and will in some way lead
to Freedom ‘out there’ someday.

But Freedom is always and only Now
and requires nothing but your undivided Attention ‘on’ it.
In this way Awareness ‘of’ it EXPANDS.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says: "Love is patient ... "
however, this is not the time/desire oriented patience
the false self speaks of
but the ‘infinite and all-encompassing
unconditioned’ Love/Patience
that has no beginning or ending.
As with many passages in sacred texts,
meanings are often misinterpreted
or distorted altogether.
They must be understood through
the Feeling nature of the Heart.

Despite words being a basic requisite of human communication,
Truth simply IS and cannot be personified.

‘Silence’ is the highest form of communicating Truth.

AFTERNOON

You have been telling the people that this is
the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour.

And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?

Where is your water?
Know your garden.

It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those
who will be afraid.

They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart
and they will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.

The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
keep our eyes open and our heads above the water.
See who is in there with you and celebrate.

At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves.
For the moment that we do,
our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner
and in celebration.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

The human condition in terms of good and evil,
which really means pleasure and pain,
is like that of fleas on a hot griddle -
he who jumps must fall,
and he who falls must jump.

When souls meet each other,
what truth they can exchange!
It is uttered in silence,
yet always surely reaches its goal.

An Indian poet says,
'Pearl-shell, what gives you your precious contents?
Silence; for years my lips were closed.'

You must go in quest of yourself,
and you will find yourself again only
in the simple and forgotten things.
Why not go into the forest for a time,
literally? Sometimes a tree tells you
more than can be read in books.

https://thedawnwithin.com/2019/04/30/the-forgotten-things/

"This quiet center,
in which you do nothing,
will remain with you,
giving you rest in the midst of every busy doing
on which you are sent."
(T.18.VII.8.3) (ACIM OE T.18.VIII.70)
In other words, we bring the peace to every situation.

To rest in God is to be in His flow and allow Him to lead the way.
To rest in God is to find our center of peace, if only for a moment,
where we release the external world.

To rest in God is to know the constancy of the Self
we are and know the changing, seeking, and striving self is an illusion.

To rest in God is to know we are eternally safe in His loving arms.

Today, let us find this place of respite within
and know that in spite of any experiences of stress and turmoil,
the truth is that we are at home,
we are safe,
and we are whole.
When we don't experience this,
we are actually listening to the ego.

AFTERNOON

THE BLESSING OF DISCORD
JOHN MCINTOSH

Disease is never somehow ‘defeated’.
Disease is no more real than the mind that manifested it.
Nothing shows up in your personal experience
that ‘you’ [not YOU] did not project into it.

It is NOT created because only that which is eternal is a True creation …
it is only an additional ‘scene’ written into your play of life
– just as story.

The body/mind are both a part of these projections
as are the world, the planets, galaxies and universe(s) …
all holographic and very believable stories
YOU as the sleeping God-SELF You Are have made up
and stepped into to experience.

When illness shows up in your body,
from a hang-nail to a cancer
it is a ‘projection’ only
[usually below the radar of your awareness]
… an amalgam of thoughts co-mingled
with a ‘stew’ of your own unique conditioning
[attachments, expectations and identifications]
and designed to get your ‘attention’
so that you will turn within
and look at and feel what conditioning
is ready to be transformed
[returned to nothing-ness].

Few, as yet ‘get’ this
and instead deal with the illness
with a band-aid approach treatment – ‘out there’
rather than inside.
This merely shifts the energy
to reappear elsewhere in your experience
or terminates this particular temporary body you are wearing.

It has NOT ‘gone’ anywhere and ‘ will’ come again
‘somehow’ until it is transformed.

Everything in your world experience
is a gentle to a shocking ‘tug’ on your ‘attention’
to pull you inside and WILL NOT leave
until you are fully aware of the God You Are.

This is the enormous blessing of discord.

https://www.johnmcintosh.info/post/the-blessing-of-discord

Rest seems like a nice contrast to overwhelment,
but enthusiasm is always chosen over rest.
The only thing that ever makes you tired
or bogs you down
is resistance.
http://abrahamquotes.com/2019/04/daily-quote-june-10-2017/

Overwhelment is about you
not being up to speed
with what you told the Universe that you want.
The Universe is yielding to you.
You’re just not ready to receive it right now.

http://abrahamquotes.com/2019/04/daily-quote-june-9-2017/

The surest sign of spiritual progress
is a total lack of concern about progress.
There is an utter absence of anxiety
about anything like liberation
and a sort of hollowness in one's being,
a kind of looseness and involuntary surrender
to whatever might happen.
Rasmesh S. Balsekar
The Net of Jewels
April 30

The original and eternal state of ours
can no more be described than can the state of deep sleep.
What spills over into the description
is the sense of peace and contentment,
but the state itself cannot be defined.
Beyond merely pointing at it,
words can only turn into silence.

Rasmesh S. Balsekar

Do everything like it is the last thing you do.
There is nothing to hold back,
nothing to save for later.

Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche - The Song of the Vajra

Unborn,
Yet continuing without interruption,
Neither coming nor going, omnipresent,
Supreme Dharma,
Immutable space, beyond definition,
Spontaneously, self-liberating.

Perfect state without any obstruction,
Existent from the very beginning,
Self created, without location,
With nothing negative to reject,
And nothing positive to accept,

Infinite expanse, all pervading,
Immense, and limitless, unbound,
With nothing even to dissolve
Or from which to be liberated.

Present beyond Space and Time,
Existent from the beginning,
Immense dimension of inner space,
The radiance of clarity is like the sun and the moon,
Self perfected,
As indestructible as the Vajra,...

...As stable as a mountain,
As pure as a lotus,
Strong as a lion,
Incomparable bliss
Beyond all limits;
Illumination,
Equanimity,
Peak of the Dharma,
Light of the Universe,
Perfect since the very beginning.

From "The Song of the Vajra", An Oral Commentary by Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche

AFTERNOON

Walk The Earth In Silence

Walk the Earth in Silence,
in the stillness of Being,
communing, listening,
hearing, sensing, feeling.

Walk the Earth in Silence
of unassuming, open,
receptive, awareness;
leaving only a trace
of a footstep here and there.

Walk the Earth in Silence
from the stillness of the Heart;
standing at the still-point,
in the hush of the Mystery...

Speak the language of Silence,
Heart to Heart,
whispered wordlessly
in the silent Rhythm...

The whole point of life is to live NOW
in this present moment,
always.
If one makes a fetish
of improving condition in the future,
one lives neither in the apparent present
nor in the illusory future.

*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

**Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
John 14. Ruth 2.

The Sanctuary of Silence -
Dada Gavand & Angeles Arrien

You cannot meet God through the mind,
nor experience the timeless through time.

Thought cannot touch the transient.
Only with freedom from thought
and from mental cravings and ambitions
does the energy become
whole, tranquil and pure.

Such inner purity and humility
will invite the hidden divinity.

The pure consolidated energy
with its silence and fullness within,
awaits in readiness to meet the divine,
to experience that which is beyond the mind.

There across the region of time
beyond the frontiers of the mind,
within the sanctuary of silence,
resides the supreme intelligence,
the timeless divine.

Dada Gavand

I trust the Mystery.
I trust what comes in silence
and what comes in nature
where there's no diversion.
I think the lack of stimulation
allows us to hear and
experience a deeper river
that's constant, still,vibrant,
and real.

Angeles Arrien

AFTERNOON

I've been walking the acre
of my soul.
It's been so long.

And over there,
the hill I used to sit on.
I'd watch the stars
reflect in the river
when it was tired of
running.

I wonder what the view
is now.

But it takes at least a day
to get there
and another to sit still
in the grass
and another to wait for
the stars to come out
and another
for the river to tire.

Sure, life keeps
taking us away.
But the only time
I'm free of fear is when I drink
from that river.

~Mark Nepo

A wild woman is strong and sensitive.
She protects the innocent,
and defends those who can’t defend themselves.
She loves with her whole heart,
and never with half of her heart.

But do not mistake her kindness for weakness.
That kind of ignorance will leave you
in her trail of magic dust.
Every… single… time.

Where does this wild woman exist, you ask?
She is everywhere.
She is the unassuming woman at the book store
radiating a quiet confidence you can’t help but notice.

She is the otherworldly,
offbeat lady at the park dancing barefoot
and alone to music only she can hear.

She is the sweet but spunky goddess
offering you a warm meal
and a safe place to rest your head
when you’ve lost your way.

She is the quirky,
tell-it-like-it-is free spirit
with a rare and everlasting fascination for life.

She is the friend who listens to you
with her undivided attention.

She is the keeper of secrets she will never spill.
She is the one who got away.

Above all, she is magic.
