Friend Rosemary's Granddaughter...Flying Lessons!

There is no insurmountable solitude.
All paths lead to the same goal:
to convey to others what we are.

And we must pass through solitude and difficulty,
isolation and silence
in order to reach forth to the enchanted place
where we can dance our clumsy dance
and sing our sorrowful song --

but in this dance or in this song
there are fulfilled the most ancient rites
of our conscience in the awareness
of being human and
of believing in a common destiny.
—Pablo Neruda

AFTERNOON

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

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

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

—Franz Kafka

Waiting for the Words - Etty Hillesum

The only words I want to write
are those normally woven into great silence,
not those merely that serve to drown out
silence and to pull it apart.

They should simply emphasize the silence.....
and around it space,
not empty but inspired.

The few great things that matter in life
can be said in a few words.
I hate the accumulation of words.

I would like to brush in a few words
against a wordless background.
To describe the silence and the stillness
and to inspire them.

What matters is the right relationship
between words and wordlessness,
the wordlessness in which much happens
than all the words one can string together...

We must speak about the Ultimate only when the words
well up inside us as simply and as naturally as water
from a spring...
Say only what is absolutely essential...
and become more concentrated in yourself...

I cannot stop searching for.....the one word that sums
up everything within me... So I shall wait patiently
until the words have grown inside me...

Etty Hillesum

*Nothing Real Can Be Threatened: Exploring a Course in Miracles
by
Tara Singh

This book introduces the idea that by stepping out of fear by acknowledging
that what is real cannot be just a projection of the mind
-and thus discovering where fear cannot intrude-
transformation and peace are possible.

Its message is taken from
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
The power of the book is such
that it brings attentive readers
to the very state it describes.

Fear is the mind killer,
It is the little death.
I will face my fear,
It will pass over me,
Around me,
And through me.
And, when it is gone. . .
I will remain.

Back in 1981, Sylvia Browne (a famous psychic) wrote a book called END OF DAYS.
In that book she predicted:
“In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes, and resisting all known treatments.
Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived,
attack again ten years later,
and then disappear completely.”

To name Tao
Is to name no-thing
Tao is not the name
Of "an existent."

"Cause" and "change"
Have no bearing on Tao.
Tao is a name
That indicates
Without defining.

Tao is beyond words
And beyond things.
It is not expressed
Either in word or in silence.
Where there is no longer word or silence
Tao is apprehended.

The saints differ from us in their exuberance,
the excess of our human talents.
Moderation is not their secret.
It is in the wildness of their dreams,
the desperate vitality of their ambitions
that they stand apart
from ordinary people of good will.
Phyllis McGinley
How Saints Differ

A fertile solitude
is a benign forgetting of the body that takes care of itself… A productive solitude,
the solitude in which
what could never have been anticipated appears,
is linked with a quality of attention.
Adam Phillips

Eternity is not a long time;
rather, it is another dimension.
It is that dimension to which time-thinking shuts us.
And so there never was a creation.
Rather, there is a continuous creating going on.
energy is pouring into every cell of our being right now,
board and brick of the buildings we sit in,
every grain of sand and wisp of wind.

—Joseph Campbell
Myths of Light

You would measure time
the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct
and even direct the course of your spirit
according to hours and seasons.

Of time you would make a stream
upon whose bank you would sit
and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you
is aware of life’s timelessness,
And knows that yesterday
is but today’s memory
and tomorrow is today’s dream.

And that that which sings
and contemplates in you is still dwelling
within the bounds of that first moment
which scattered the stars into space.

—Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931)

For the birds there is not a time that they tell,
but the point vierge
between darkness and light,
between being and nonbeing.

You can tell yourself the time by their waking,
if you are experienced.

But that is your folly, not theirs.

By the time you are

by the time you are taken for granted
by the time it hurts
by the time it goes on hurting
by the time there are no words for you
by the time you remember
but without names
by the time you are in the papers
and on the telephone
passing unnoticed there too

who is it
to whom you come
before whose very eyes
you are disappearing
without making yourself known

Mystical Spirituality...
Being an unapologetic "mystic" at Heart, since childhood,
means for me experiencing the Living Presence of Life
that animates all life.
Some call that God, The Divine, The Beloved, The Ineffable,
"The Mystery", Consciousness, Infinite Being, Spirit, Brahman,
The Tao, etc., etc., etc.

It has many names and forms.
It means being able to see and experience "The Mystery"
in the every-day-ness of life;
something I'm still "working" on -
being more aware of the Sacred in a chaotic world,
in the mundane personal affairs of living;
the requirements of daily life:
in the must do's and the have-to's
that always find their way to the top of my list,
and seem to drive
life...

A "mystical spirituality" pertains to direct experience
with Ultimate Reality/The Divine/"The Mystery"...
Some may assume that a
"mystic" doesn't experience the darker feelings
and frustrations with living the Cosmic Dance of life.

That has not been my experience.
A "mystic" just experiences them
within context of the Greater Reality
- and learns to embrace them
as part of the totality of experience.
Some feel that a "mystic" has special insights, or powers, or visions,
or is only interested in seeking "mystical experiences."

For me it is not about seeking experiences,

but being open to the
movement of "The Mystery",
the movement of Consciousness
through its many expressions,
and at times experiencing
an intimate encounter
with what I know to be "The Divine"

like my Epiphany in Nov. 2013,
or Waking Up To Bliss like I did recently, or "meditative
writings" many years ago,
and poetry that sometimes just spills
out onto the page.

Mystical Spirituality acknowledges the universality
of what most have come to call "God,"
"The Divine", or Buddha Nature (Dharmakaya),
not associated with any particular faith, religion, or practice,
but a transcendent truth -
realizing that humans, at the very core of their
being are both "Divine" and human;
formlessness and form, spirit
in matter, Timelessness in time...

This "union" takes place within ourselves
with the realization that we are not a separate entity from
our Divinity, from Consciousness ItSelf,
needing to grovel our way back -
but that "comm-union" is always happening.
There is always
only the movement of "Divinity" through life,
through us.
There is no other "Higher" Self to search for.
It's all Here within us...

Wayne Teasdale, a 20th Century Christian Mystic, and author of
A Mystic Heart, says:
"Mystical Spirituality draws us into the depths
of our Being, where we come face to face with ourselves,
our weakness AND with the Ultimate Mystery.
Spirituality is not external religiosity,
not confined to ritual and liturgy.
It is a way of life that affects and
includes every moment of existence.
It is a disposition to a life of depth."

He goes on -
"How we make the journey is what spirituality is really
about - finding our own path.
This means finding a way to/awareness
of the vast unlimited Consciousness of The Divine,
The Mystery within.

We are created for this 'spiritual journey' -
the direct and immediate experience of Ultimate Reality,
which knows everything as ItSelf.
Being infinitely aware,
it knows in a unitive and universal
fashion through awareness
of no distance between ourselves and
the Ultimate Mystery...
The spiritual journey is essentially one of
discovering the roots of our true identity.
It is a process of the totality
of Consciousness,
from which we arise.

He further says -
"Everything is part of an undivided wholeness where
each being reflects this totality.
Non-duality means
'not two, and yet, not one.'
[I know this is not the traditional Advaita/Non-dual
definition, but it is my experience as well.]
That is, the relationship
between Divine Reality and human being
is a subtle distinction,
but not a separation.
And so the relationship is said to be non-dual.
Human beings are essentially Divine."
[or Pure Consciousness, etc.]

Two Difficulties on the Path of Meditation – Osho
MEDITATION = WITNESSING
BY OSHO

Good or evil, beautiful or ugly, you are separate.
You are the witness, you are just a mirror.
Anything that passes by does not affect the mirror at all. Something good – the mirror reflects.
Something bad – the mirror reflects.
When they have gone,
the mirror is as empty as ever.

Your consciousness is a mirror,
and your consciousness is neither good nor bad.
Your consciousness may have lived thousands of years,
but not even a scratch is possible on your consciousness.
It only reflects; its function is reflection.
That’s why I say the divine between you and me is the same – there is no difference at all.

I just have recognized
that the witnessing is a pure mirror,
eternally pure –
and you get identified,
you forget. […]

Once you get the knack of witnessing without judgment
you will be surprised:
the moment you are utterly a witness
all the thoughts disappear.
There is simply a plain white screen and no thoughts.

This is the first experience,
that you have come to the door of meditation.
Just go on looking at the white screen.
Don’t do anything.
Consciousness has a nature –
if it cannot find any object which prevents it,
then it goes round and comes back to you.

6:49 AM SINGLE SET OF FOOTPRINTS POOFING ALL ASPECTS OF BEING IN THE LIGHT

What we speak
becomes the house
we live in.
Who will want
to sleep in your bed
if the roof leaks
right above it?

Fear is the
cheapest room
in the house,
I would like
to see you living
in better conditions.

There is only one reason
we have followed God
into this world:
to encourage laughter,
freedom,
dance and love ....

God and I are rushing
from every corner of
existence,
needing to say
we are yours.

The sun never says
to the earth,
even after all this time
“you owe me”.

I once asked a bird
how is it that you
fly in this gravity
of darkness?
she responded,
love lifts me.

I should not make
any promises right now
but I know if you pray
somewhere in this world
something good
will happen.

—Hafiz
Daniel Ladinsky and
Robert Bly translations

The spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness
there he met the wild beast.
Angels ministered to him. ~ St. Mark

All the great religions, at least at the mature level, recognize that we need a different set of eyes to read, to understand spiritual realities…If we approach spiritual realities with the same Mexican jumping bean mind that we approach our everyday life, we are not going very far or seeing very much.

“This verse portrays the entire journey of prayer,” says Fr. Rohr. “Jesus had to be driven into the wilderness, as do we all.”
Few of us willingly want to sit in silence and face our compulsive, trivial and negative mind.

“If you really sit in the silence and refuse to feed your compulsive…. style of thinking, what comes up are… unhealed hurts, past unresolved relationships…all the things you don’t want to see about yourself.”

The medieval Franciscans taught, “the human mind can only do two things, endlessly reprocess the past and endlessly worry about the future… the mind can’t be present in the now because you can’t think in the now…”

Rohr, a Franciscan himself, says you need a completely different set of tools to work with the present moment…
“the Now usually feels boring, lonely, inadequate…
it’s not enough.”
Rohr equates these feelings with the Franciscan ideal
of being “poor in spirit.”

“God refuses to be known by the intellect.
God only allows himself to be loved by the heart.”
Saint John of the Cross:

https://www.stillnessspeaks.com/richard-rohr-becoming-stillness/?utm_source=Stillness+Speaks+Newsletter&utm_campaign=2b1d911515-NL_2-19_2020_LfNDP-ALL-p-WS-Subs&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f5958d3327-2b1d911515-19977997&ct=t(TRK-NL_2-19_2020_LfNDP-ALL-p-WS-Subs)

With advancing age my ideals,
which I usually deny possessing,
have definitely altered.
My ideal is to be free of ideals,
free of principles,
free of isms and ideologies.
I want to take to the ocean of life
like a fish takes to the sea…

AFTERNOON

Truth Does Not Come and Go

In similar fashion,
I learned this was also true of my experiences.
I discovered that as soon as I invested any value,
meaning, or purpose in them,
I was losing the pearl of great price
by giving them a premature closure.
It was only by investing
no value in an experience
that I was able to find out
its truth or falsity.

What is false never lasts,
it falls away of its own accord;
while what is true remains,
because truth does not come and go--
it is always there.

So as long as
our experiences come and go
and we are investing
in them our own values,
thoughts, and emotions,
we'll never find out
if there is any truth in them,
for truth is what remains
when there are no experiences left.

Your heart will fix itself.
It’s your mind you need to worry about.
Your mind where you locked the memories,
your mind where you have kept pieces
of the ones that hurt you,
that still cut through you
like shards of glass.

Your mind will keep you up at night,
make you cry,
destroy you over and over again.

You need to convince your mind
that it has to let go…
because your heart
already knows how to heal.

Yosy Flug - Speaking of love…

Once
I started
To speak
About love
Drawing out words
And images

Which, slow at first
Kept welling up
Flowing faster
Then I could draw…

...and then they burst out
Gushing
Like a fountain
So
I fell silent
Just watching
This endless spring
Unconcerned.

When thirsty,
I drink.
Tired, I doze off.

All is
As it should
Be.

All consolation, all but the simple smile

Silence Precedes You
Silence is ancient.
Silence has been in the space you are
at this very moment
for longer than anything else has.
It will remain after you leave
and exist long after
all other things have faded.

sight

Once
a single cell
found that it was full of light
and for the first time there was seeing

when
I was a bird
I could see where the stars had turned
and I set out on my journey

high
in the head of a mountain goat
I could see across a valley
under the shining trees something moving

deep
in the green sea
I saw the two sides of the water
and swam between them

I
look at you
in the first light of the morning
for as long as I can

To bring this life to a certain state of stillness,
one must completely dissociate
with the activity of the mind.
When your mind becomes still,
intelligence explodes ...

AFTERNOON

The Darkness has Wisdom too - Brooke McNamara
If you can't change yourself, after all
the efforts, change the light
by which you read your story.

Exchange overhead for something softer -
a lamp, a candle, a vine of shining
holiday lights - and feel yourself
become hugged by the fabric of shadows.

You see the darkness here has wisdom too.
You see the objects around become related
by the pregnant emptiness
that holds them,
and you.

Let this light reveal the rapture
of being just this. Then, further still, try
moonlight, or no light, until, at last,
this open, sourceless incandescence
which you are
no matter who you think you are
will follow you from the inside
wherever you may go, however
you may change, or not.

I was dead. I came alive.
I was tears, I became laughter.
All because of Love,
my temporal life,
from then on changed to eternal.
– Rumi

Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind rest at peace.
The ten thousand things rise and fall
while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness,
which is the way of nature.
Lao Tzu

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

http://www.puresilence.org/a_tradition_of_silence.htm

In the attitude of silence
the soul finds the path in a clearer light,
and what is elusive and deceptive
resolves itself into crystal clearness.
Ghandi

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

There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done
in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness.
When mind is still,
then truth gets her chance to be heard
in the purity of the silence.
Sri Aurobindo

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

AFTERNOON

Sagittarius – Thursday, February 6, 2020

Getting a good plan off the ground is getting complicated due to a number of hard to control issues.
To get what you need,
it is necessary to simplify and prioritize
all the options at your disposal.
There is a foolproof way to successfully
pull yourself out of the stress zone.
Stop the chatter in your brain.

Listen to your breath for short spells.

And you will find all the answers you seek plus more
from an unconscious source.
https://boothstars.com/2020/02/06/sagittarius-thursday-february-6-2020/

Change the Lighting
If you can’t change yourself, after all
the efforts, change the light
by which you read your story.

Exchange overhead for something softer –
a lamp, a candle, a vine of shining
holiday lights – and feel yourself
become hugged by the fabric of shadows.

You see the darkness here has wisdom too.
You see these objects around become related
by the pregnant emptiness that holds them,
and you.

“I don't think..."
then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Stop telling yourself what you are
and only be what you are.
Wu Hsin
Solving Yourself
August 21

Modern people have become pliantly trained,
having traded in our inner wilderness
for the opium glow of screens and more screens.

Our sedentary, indoor lifestyles
express our true domestication,
the Latin word for domesticus,
or “belonging to the house.”

For in the now 11 hours a day that Americans spend on screens, or 90 percent of the day that we are inside, anything that was once wild in us
has now laid down, obedient.

The lonely touch of keyboards;
the stale, recycled air of the indoors;
the plastic perfection of having everything new--
this is what has become the normalized expectation
of our consumeristic culture.

As Rewilding author Micah Mortali describes,
“We have come to see the earth as an endless resource instead of the source of our lives.”
https://www.elephantjournal.com/2020/01/rewilding-yourself-practices-for-everyday-life/

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

AFTERNOON

For One Who Is Exhausted
- John O'Donohue

When the rhythm of the heart becomes hectic,
Time takes on the strain until it breaks;
The all the unattended stress falls in
On the mind like an endless, increasing weight.

The light in the mind becomes dim.
Things you could take in your stride before
Now become labor some events of will.

Weariness invades your spirit.
Gravity begins falling inside you,
Dragging down every bone.

The tide you never valued has gone out.
And you are marooned on unsure ground.
Something within you has closed down;
And you cannot push yourself back to life.

You have been forced to enter empty time.
The desire that drove you has relinquished.
There is nothing else to do now but rest
And patiently learn to receive the self
You have forsaken in the race of days.

At first your thinking will darken
And sadness take over like listless weather.
The flow of unwept tears will frighten you.

You have traveled too fast over false ground;
now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles your rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.
Be excessively gently with yourself.

Stay clear of those vexed of spirit.
Learn to linger around someone of ease
Who feels they have all the time in the world.

Gradually, you will return to yourself,
Having learned a new respect for the heart
And joy that dwells far within slow time.

John O'Donohue

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AFTERNOON

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

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

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

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

Worry pretends to be necessary
but serves no useful purpose.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ghazal 2309

AFTERNOON

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

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

5:16 AM-1/19/20
(as the above Whisper Wrote,
there was NO conscious memory
of the first four quotes (green font below)
that were saved during the last two days...
for today's Offering)

Each one of us is alone in the world.
It takes great courage to meet
the full force of your aloneness.
Most of the activity in society is subconsciously designed
to quell the voice crying in the wilderness within you.

The mystic Thomas Kempis said
that when you go out into the world,
you return having lost some of yourself.

Until you learn to inhabit your aloneness,
the lonely distraction and noise of society will seduce
you into false belonging,
with which you will only become empty and weary.

When you face your aloneness,
something begins to happen.
Gradually, the sense of bleakness changes
into a sense of true belonging.

This is a slow and open-ended transition
but it is utterly vital
in order to come into rhythm
with your own individuality.

In a sense this is the endless task
of finding your true home within your life.

It is not narcissistic,
for as soon as you rest
in the house of your own heart,
doors and windows begin to open
outwards to the world.

No longer on the run from your aloneness,
your connections with others
become real and creative.

You no longer need to covertly
scrape affirmation from others
or from projects outside yourself.

This is slow work;
it takes years to bring your mind home.
~John O'Donohue

I have never seen a wildflower
in all its beauty

(REMAINING 'GREEN FONT' quotes below in AFTERNOON section)

AFTERNOON

The sick part of living in a capitalistic world
is that it feels like
we always have a carrot in front of us.
– Rodney Yee

Take No Notice

We should meet abuse by forbearance.
Human nature is so constituted
that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse,
the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

“Patience is the highest asceticism.”

This is a quote attributed to the Buddha,
from the 184th verse of the Dhammapada.
https://contemplativedaybook.blogspot.com/2020/01/take-no-notice.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ContemplativeDayBook+%28Contemplative+Day+Book%29
Mahatma Gandhi

A parting of the veil
If we remain too identified with “falling apart,”
we lose contact with that which was never unhealed,
untransformed, and was never “together” to begin with.

That innate radiance, the holiness of the breath,
and the miracle of having an open sensitive nervous system.
We disconnect with the magic of embodied presence,
the wisdom of the mud and the earth,
and the unshakable confidence in our true nature.

But if we remain too identified with “holding it all together,”
we split off from our organic spontaneity,
imaginative vulnerability, and the truth
that love will take whatever form it must
to reveal its qualities within us.

Raw, achy, illuminating
heartbreak may approach at any time,
requesting safe passage inside.
But it is through this broken aliveness
that the poetry of our lives will flow.

Right in the middle of
“falling apart” and “holding it together”
is the secret place.
Go there.

It is here where light and dark are at play.
For just a moment the veil parts.
We peer behind the curtain and are astonished.
Jeff Foster

Effortlessly,
Love flows from God to man,
Like a bird
Who rivers the air
Without moving her wings.

Thus we move in His world
One in body and soul,
Though outwardly separate in form.

As the Source strikes the note,
Humanity sings -
The Holy Spirit is our harpist,
And all the strings
Which are touched in Love
Must sound.

Love what you do and do what you love.
Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it.
You do what you want, what you love.
Imagination should be the center of your life.

AFTERNOON

A fish cannot drown in water,
A bird does not fall in air.
In the fire of creation,
God doesn't vanish:
The fire brightens.
Each creature God made
must live in its own true nature;
How could I resist my nature,
That lives for oneness with God?
Mechthild of Magdeburg

A Light of utmost splendor glows
on the eyes of my soul.
Therein have I seen the
inexpressible ordering of all things,
and recognized God's unspeakable glory
-- that incomprehensible wonder --
the tender caress between God and the soul...
the unmingled joy of union,
the living love of eternity as it now is
and evermore shall be.
Mechthild of Magdeburg

I was created in love.
For that reason
nothing can express my beauty
nor liberate me
except love alone.
Mechthild of Magdeburg

Daily Quote – January 18, 2020
Because others cannot vibrate in your experience,
they cannot affect the outcome of your experience.
They can hold their opinions,
but unless their opinion affects your opinion,
their opinion matters not at all.

A million people could be pushing against you,
and it would not negatively affect you unless you push back.
They are affecting what happens in their experience.
They are affecting their point of attraction--
but it does not affect you
unless you push against them.

Abraham (Esther Hicks)
https://www.abraham-hicks.com/?mc_cid=47f89d5253&mc_eid=70b37346bf

Don’t cling to whatever plane of reality you’re in,
including this one,
because a free being is not bound
by any plane of reality whatsoever.
– Ram Dass

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms and like books
that are now written in a very foreign tongue.

Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you
because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it,
live along some distant day into the answer.
Rilke

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

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!”

(See Read more below Afternoon Photos for "More")

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.
Rumi
Thief of Sleep:
Translated by Shahram Shiva

"Come to the freshness of silence
and it will be the dawn of your life.
Out of that freshness you will light the world
with peace within yourself that never seeks.”

There is nothing in the universe that you are not
Everything you want,
look for it within yourself — you are that.

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.

ORIGIN’S SILENCE & BREATH REMAIN
A PEELING BEYOND THE TELLING
ew
3:53 AM-1/14/20

To be fully accepting of
What-Is in every moment,
Eliminates fear and anxiety,
Expectation and desire.
This is the natural way to
Set things right.
Wu Hsin

True innocence requires
The willingness to be hurt,
The willingness to be wrong,
The willingness to be awed and
Out of control.
True innocence is
The doorway to
The eternal.
Wu Hsin

The above are the only photos from sunrise this morning....

than i had realized....but HARK....Synchronicity...!!
The remaining sunrise photos are from FIVE years ago....

This Synchronicity with the titles of both OceanSpeaks... we did NOT see before choosing this date/OceanSpeak below:
https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/original-language-the-silence-beyond-silence-sunriseafternoon-january-14-2015

Embrace That which
You seek to avoid;
The fear of absence.
Absence of concepts,
Absence of ideas,
Absence of anyone to have them.
To be fully present therefore requires that
One be fully absent.
This is the Great Emptying.
Wu Hsin gives you the key.
Either you use it
To open the door or
You put it in your pocket with
All the other keys
You have accumulated.
Wu Hsin

Elimination is a key to life.
In the absence of the processes of elimination,
The poisons accumulate and ultimately
The body dies.
What-Is is realized also by
The processes of elimination.
Eliminate all that you think you know.
All your beliefs, and
You find yourself face to face with It.
Wu Hsin

True innocence requires
The willingness to be hurt,
The willingness to be wrong,
The willingness to be awed and
Out of control.
True innocence is
The doorway to
The eternal.
Wu Hsin

Once the great awakening occurs
Whatever ensues afterwards is of no consequence.
Outward signs need not announce
Inner transformation.
Wu Hsin

Wu Hsin

Achieving immortality is easy.
Only set aside
Ownership of body and mind and
Remain rooted in what was there
Before their appearance.
Wu Hsin

Only that which has been created
needs to be maintained in order to avoid destruction.

Ego is such a maintenance-driven creation.
Therefore, all efforts to be rid of ego
merely reinforce the sense of identification with it,
thus maintaining it.

Just stop.
You can always re-start.
Stop what you are doing and stop what you are not doing.
Now see what remains.
Solving Yourself: Yuben de Wu Hsin

One who depends on time
Can never be free of time
Wu Hsin

All that one has is this moment and
It is quite enough.

THERE IS FINALLY FIRE AGAIN
…A MISSION FOR THIS LIFE…
BUT IT IS TOTALLY CENTERED IN BEING THE TRUTH
THAT IS TRUE FOR THIS AKASHA TAO CORE
…ORIGINAL BEING…
WITHOUT TRYING TO SHARE & PREACH/EXPLAIN TO OTHERS….
<
BE STILL IN/OF/AS ORIGIN’S BREATH
ALLOWING THE PURE SILENCE
OF THE EMBODIED SOUL’S ‘WHAT IS’
TO CREATE THE PATH AND EXPERIENCES…
…as AA Promises say:

“…we will know a new freedom…

…we will INTUITIVELY
know how to handle situations which used to baffle us…”*

5:27 AM-1/12/20

* By "embodiment" I mean the act of descent which the soul chooses again and again over the course of a lifetime and the process by which we, as spiritual beings, come to dwell more and more fully as our unique selves in our flesh, bones, and blood on planet earth.

It is becoming clear that spirit resides as much in these choices of embodiment as in those of transcendence,
and that, in fact,
the two are complementary aspects of the process of Soul-realization, taking the meaning of "realization" in both its senses -
becoming aware of who we most are
and making that soul real
through resonant and consistent attitudes
and behaviors
in the world.

Each one of us is called
to become that great song
that comes out of the silence,
and the more we let ourselves down
into that great silence
the more we become capable
of singing that great song.

Breath
by Birago Diop - Senegalese poet

Listen to things more often than to beings.
Hear the voice of the fire, hear the voice of the water,
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush:
This is the ancestors breathing.

Those who are dead are never gone;…
The dead are not down in the earth:
They are in the trembling of the trees,
In the groaning of the woods,
In the water that runs,
in the water that sleeps,

They are in the hut, they are in the crowd…
Those who are dead are not ever gone;
They are in the woman’s breast,
they are in the wailing of a child,
They are in the burning log and in the moaning rock..
They are in the weeping grasses, in the forest and the home…

Listen to things more often than beings.
Hear the voice of fire, hear the voice of water.
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush.
This is the ancestors breathing.

https://allchannels.blogspot.com/2017/05/which-person-are-you.html?q=carnival

When you are ripe,
you will let go of yourself
and the part of you that is fruit
will fall and be happy
and the part of you that is branch
will tremble in the wind.

AFTERNOON

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

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

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

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

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

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

Re-examine all you have been told,
At school at church or in any book,

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

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

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

—Walt Whitman,
born 1819

You know someone loves you when they put the moon in your tea to calm your worry.

You know someone is honest
when they put what they’ve broken before you,
not out of anger, but softly on a pillow
in the middle of the house.

You know you’ve found your family
when they come over,
no questions asked,
and listen carefully,
even when you have nothing to say.

And to dream of birds circling ahead of you
as you wander through a sunlit field
means you are about to meet a friend
who will touch your soul.

But if you dream that you can breathe underwater,
it means you will save someone in the days to come.

We are touched by fantastic things that seldom speak.
So be careful not to turn away the mute angels
who are waiting.
~Mark Nepo

AFTERNOON

All quotes below in this font from Arif K.
The entire wording is in
Read More Below Afternoon Photos

the softness of friendship
melts into relationship
with the divine who beholds the inside
of a rose, spiraling through your eyes
& the silence which proceeds your beholding
gives plasticity to objects, to hate;
makes judgment melt in true friendship;
makes the knot in the heart unravel
& i wish to sense with the organ
of your art.

what does it mean to gaze in the mirror
of the true friend? to hold ones own
inmost gaze in the fire of mutual longing
for the divine. to rise
in seizing the kinetic God
& be stilled as possibilities
are felt in the vibrancy between
words which is the vibrancy of the heart
forged in a common
longing.

a roof is being
built from the aftermath
this over and over again building, a foundation
that caves in, the moment it is erected, & the clacking
branches scrape the roof & we are a tree upside down
bending backwards as though to reach each other before
we apprehend what we are reaching, the swallows forked
in thirds by the pond
& who will ever know what is meant in darkness
when roots are stopped by this kinetic response of air,
the air a tressel, which leaves a sense of knowing.

we can at last say
we know the form of silence, that silence doesn’t brood
is not a premonition as it is a lisping of a name,
the name we lost in fear when we over & over built
a graveyard for yearning, with steel brackets.

this foundation
moves like air & you are not far from letting these bricks fall
because you loved & let the structure fall.
in you, the eye, cleared of confusion
the eye, clarified in the heart
in you, deception dispelled
in you, morality, a stepping stone.
zeal has become clarified
& value is seized.

by you blessed, this eye
from which fish emerge on a pier
a star merged with a full moon &
a tower was illumined;
we fell into water & reemerged when the sky
darkened again; i climbed up the steps of my ancestry
& now this heartbeat in stone,
waiting to be touched by your hourglass

when the heart is opened by the beloved,
or when the fingers trace the heart;
there are lives within lives opening like russian dolls.
occasionally, one catches
the fragrance of a distant rose, spiraled inward,
was the kernel Ramakrishna.

there is no falling.
heat will not make this hour.
the flowers skinned alive, petal by petal
fall on etched glass, where pain is malleable
and moving. the spinning center of your body,
still like a humming bird,
as the hourglass spins and this red festival
of fire falls, shorn from a distant memory.

when the beloved gazes though the lover’s eyes
what is blue and brown, but the symmetry of her hour
where colors melt in eyes touching, and invisible hands made
visible in muteness. i walk a spiral in your heart
and two moons are fused in one, a crescent and a pearl.
i am a fisherman and you are blue.

i have no thing to offer you,
but this touch, where i disappear.

you gaze though me at yourself.
you are always only blue. i am brown like the earth
swathed in your sky blue utterance.

you are cosmos whirling wide
sea breezes on the turf of the tide rise up
like innumerable hands. Breezes bust the waves
and the space between your lips open and
the cedars rowed in the air,
your soul hovered above the glen, a gleaning
of who you once were,
and shall become when time is set in motion again.

you are above the bed post hovering
like angels above a cardinal’s bed of soot and sear, pristine,
i want to surrender to your silence which peels me.
– Arif K

here i came to the very edge
where nothing at all needs saying,
everything is absorbed through weather and the sea,
and the moon swam back,
its rays all silvered,
and time and again the darkness would be broken
by the crash of a wave,
and every day on the balcony of the sea,
wings open, fire is born,
and everything is blue again like morning.

What began in those early days
was the seed of today's grace,
and it must continue to grow,
but without being in any way spectacular
or drawing attention to itself
(Fenelon:
"Beware the humility that can speak its own name").

In my younger days
there was a great deal of wanting to be noticed
for my weariness of the world,
love of silence
and the urge to solitude.

True as all that may have been true then,
it was too self-conscious to be very deep.
God made up for my limitations,
as God does for each of us.

Now I live,
not as someone who has cut herself off from the world, found the solitude, and wants the world to know it,
but as a person who hopes to serve
- without knowing it -
God's plan to be revealed in the world
and to the world.
This, then, makes clearer to me what it means to be - "Hidden with Christ in God".

AFTERNOON

I have been thinking of the difference between
water and the waves on it.
Rising, water's still water, falling back, it is water.
Will you give me a hint how to tell them apart?
Because someone has made up the word "wave,"
do I have to distinguish it from water?
There is a Secret One inside us; the planets in all the galaxies pass through his hands like beads.
That is a string of beads one should look at
with luminous eyes.

which seems to dictate our life.

The man of wisdom is devoid of ego

His vacant or fasting mind
is neither doing anything nor not doing anything.
He is outside of volition, neither this nor that.

https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/invite-the-wicked-art-of-spaciousness-unfettering-sunriseafternoon-january-5-2016

Below OSHO Quotes in this font from:
https://o-meditation.com/2012/03/22/die-to-the-past-osho/

And when I say to die to the past,
I mean do not get so attached to the brain
that you do not know
that you can exist without the brain.

Knowing this, realizing this, that
“Without the brain I CAN exist;
I am consciousness and not the memories;
memories are just my instruments,”
you will become free
from your own mind.

And once you are free from your mind,
no one can make a slave of you.
Otherwise, everyone is trying to manipulate you
to make you a slave.

Die to the past, be alive to the present,
to the moment you are in –
it will not destroy your mind.
Really, it will give a rest to your restless mind.
Your efficiency will grow, and there will be no effort.
You will not NEED to remember.
You will simply remember
because this is the functioning of the mind;
you need not make any effort.

So if you forget things
it is because you are not interested.
If you forget things it is because your mind is confused.
If you forget things and cannot remember
and are not efficient,
it means that while you are seeing a face
your many memories inside go on moving.
Your mirror is not vacant;
your lens is already overcrowded.

Whenever you are interested the mind is silent –
your whole being is open.
The memories go on being recorded
and whenever you need something it will come up.

But it is not so easy with you.
Because your mind is so much filled,
whenever you need something
everything gets entangled.

Nothing is clear-cut;
everything penetrates, trespasses, every other thing. Nothing is clear.
The clarity is not there;
only confusion is there.
Because of that confusion you are not efficient.

You will be more efficient,
and without any effort,
if you become alert to the moment
and do not allow the past
to go on overburdening you.

You run into this amazingly beautiful paradox
that there is no ‘I’ at all and ‘I’ is everywhere,
and both of those are true simultaneously.
It’s about as much fun as you could possibly have.
There isn’t an ‘I’, and
the only thing that exists is
one big ‘I’ shining
out of everything.”
~ Adyashanti

When the Ten Thousand things
are viewed in their oneness,
we return to Origin and remain
where we have always been.

Seng-Tsan Quotes below from:
http://www.greatthoughtstreasury.com/author/sen-t%E2%80%99sen-aka-seng-tsan-jianzhi-sengcan-kanchi-sosan-third-chinese-patriarch-zen

To seek Mind with the (discriminating) mind
is the greatest of all mistakes.
At the moment of profound insight,
you transcend both appearance and emptiness.

Live neither in the entanglements of outer things,
nor in inner feelings of emptiness.
Be serene in the oneness of things
and such erroneous views
will disappear by themselves.

When you try to stop activity by passivity
your very effort fills you with activity.
As long as you remain in one extreme or the other
you will never know Oneness.

To live in the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult.
But those with limited views are fearful and irresolute:
the faster they hurry, the slower they go.
And clinging (attachment) cannot be limited:
Even to be attached to the idea of enlightenment is to go astray.

Just let things be in their own way and there
will be neither coming not going.
Obey the nature of things (your own nature)
and you will walk freely and undisturbed.

As vast as infinite space,
it is perfect and lacks nothing.
But because you select and reject,
you can't perceive its true nature..

Rest and unrest derive from illusion;
with enlightenment there is no liking and disliking.
All dualities come from ignorant inference.
They are like dreams or flowers in air - foolish to try to grasp them.
Gain and loss, right and wrong,
such thoughts must finally be abolished at once.

Do not search for the truth; only cease to cherish opinions.
Do not remain in the dualistic state.
Avoid such pursuits carefully.
If there is even a trace of this and that,
of right and wrong,
the mind-essence will be lost in confusion.

The mind of absolute trust is beyond all thought,
all striving,
is perfectly at peace,
for in it there is no yesterday, no today,
no tomorrow.

Don't get entangled in the world; don't lose yourself in emptiness.
Be at peace in the oneness of things,
and all errors will disappear by themselves.

The struggle between good and evil
is the primal disease of the mind.
Not grasping the deeper meaning,
you just trouble your minds serenity.
The Great Way is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.

The Perfect Way is difficult only for those who pick and choose;
do not like, do not dislike;
all will then be clear.
Make a hairbreadth difference,
and Heaven and Earth are set apart:
if you want the truth to stand clear before you,
never be for or against.

The struggle between “for” and “against”
is the mind’s worst disease...

There is no need to seek Truth; only stop having views...
The ultimate Truth about both Extremes
is that they are One Emptiness.

"...words can only point us to the truth.
But in order to live a life of truth
it is necessary for each of us to make
the inquiry individually for ourselves
into our own Being
and finally into
the mystery of non-Being.
https://o-meditation.com/about-this-blog/

Even a Buddha cannot take you with him.
Buddhas only point the way – because two persons
cannot walk on it,
it is so narrow.

One has to go alone:
the flight of the alone to the alone.

And so alone that not even your ego is with you,
and so alone that not even your mind is with you,
and so utterly alone
that not even your self
is with you.
You go into it as absolute silence,
as a disappearing person,
as an appearing presence.

It all seems so simple – I just can’t understand it.
I keep grasping at it and it eludes me...
That’s why it eludes you.
Not that it is elusive; that is not its nature.
It appears to elude you, Krishna Prabhu,
because you are trying to grasp it.

You create the elusiveness
in it by your grasping.
OSHO
Excerpt from
https://o-meditation.com/2019/11/07/like-a-great-surprise-osho/

The Kiss of "The Mystery"...

There is an intimacy in the deep recesses of internal Silence
that is indefinable, inexplicable, inexpressible
and hauntingly sublime...

A fluidity of
light and color...

A movement of
The Grand "What Is"...

There is depth and breadth,
yet no boundary.

There is substance and fullness,
yet - Emptiness...

It is a subtle, rhythmic
intimacy of
Mystical Silence
that opens the Heart;
that embraces, surrounds
and fills every crack and
crevice of existence...
Unwinding the contractions
of
body and mind...

There is a "sanity" in this Silence
that bestows a soundness of heart through Grace
that is beyond mere mental comprehension -
beyond cognition...

Finding the deeper Rhythm within
one loses a sense of "self"
and becomes
The Silence ~
Breathing ItSelf...

knowing It Is:

The Breath of the Infinite

AFTERNOON

Nothing can withstand time,
and just as we must face the fact
that a building ages and needs repair,
the same holds true for us.
So, it stands to reason that our own ‘building’
needs to be restored, rejuvenated and enlightened,
and that we need to rebuild it on a new foundation.
‘But how can we rebuild our body?’ you may ask.

Obviously, it is not a question
of rejuvenating the physical body,
which we cannot prevent from ageing,
but this ageing process must be compensated
by the construction of our spiritual body,
by means of an immutable matter
that can only be found very high up
in the subtle regions.

Through meditation and contemplation,
we can attract particles of this matter
and draw them to us in order to build a new body.
This is what St. Paul meant
when he spoke of the transformation
of the old Adam into Christ.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov https://www.prosveta-usa.com/nothing-can-withstand-time_2020-01-04

We are being shown that ultimately
our thoughts have no meaning,
just like the forms we see have no meaning.

The only meaning they have
is the meaning we give them.

Our thoughts are not different
from the forms we perceive and give meaning to.
"They are like the things I see in this room."
It is not about good thoughts or bad thoughts.

We judge our thoughts as good or bad,
but we are being told they are simply not real.
The only reality is Oneness.
Nothing outside of that is real.

The problem is,
we give what is "outside" meaning.
The meaning we give it
is all based on past learning.
Jesus says that what we are seeing is an
". . . outside picture of our inward condition."

We give the picture meaning.
It serves the ego,
which wants us to see
value in the world and stay focused
on what is outside of our own minds
so we will stay invested in the world.
*********************

Lesson 4
These thoughts do not mean anything.
They are like the things I see in this room [on this street, from the window, in this place]. Sarah's Commentary:
https://files.constantcontact.com/e46e0407001/950d38b7-326a-470b-8d6a-7095d8f7f15b.pdf
https://www.jcim.net/daily-lessons-and-text-readings/

The Only true understanding is that
nothing is,
not even he who understands.
****
Concepts can at best only serve
to negate one another,
as when one thorn is used to remove another.
Once removed, both thorns must be thrown away.
Only in deep silence do we leave concepts behind.
Words and language deal only with concepts
and so cannot approach Reality

From ew Archived Booklet Series - SILENT SONGS

Silence will carry your voice
like the nest that holds the sleeping birds.
—Rabindranath Tagore
https://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2019/12/silence-will-carry-your-voice-like-nest.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FmnCFM+%28Love+Is+A+Place%29

Somewhere we know that without silence
words lose their meaning,
that without listening
speaking no longer heals,
that without distance
closeness cannot cure
Henri Nouwen

I know of a place not ruled by flatness
Or constant risings and depressions,
and those alive are not afraid to die.

There wild flowers come up through the leafy floor,
and the fragrance of "I am he" floats on the wind.

...There the love bee stays deep inside the flower
and cares for no other thing.
—Kabir

If you're not grateful for what you have,
you'll never be happy with what you get.
You'll always feel like you don't have enough.

You’ll regret the past,
because you could have 'done more'.
And you'll be anxious about the future,
because you could 'miss out' on riches.

Find gratitude for the smallest things -
the morning sun, a sip of water, your old shoes -
and happiness is yours,
no matter what you get
or what you lose.
- Jeff Foster

Stand still, O Beautiful End,
for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way. Let my thoughts come to you,
when I am gone,
like the afterglow of sunset
at the margin of starry silence.
If thou speakest not
I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it.
Tagore

AFTERNOON

The small truth has words that are clear;
the great truth has great silence.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

Only by going alone in silence,
without baggage,
can one truly get into
the heart of the wilderness.
All other travel is mere dust and hotels
and baggage and chatter.
John Muir

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

Pristine Silence...

Pristine Silence
Untainted, Untouched
filled my chest...

I gasped at its sudden, unbidden
Presence...
Golden Silk slicing through me
like warm clarified butter,
in undulating waves of light...

It arose again and again from within,
so clean and clear.
I marveled at its clarity;
undistilled, undisturbed clarity...

This golden-hued Silence opened in my chest,
inviting me to look inside -
to see it clearly - to recognize "it."

This that I thought had been lost to me.
This - this Pristine Silence - that is the very
Presence of The Mystery...

I was both humbled and ecstatic
by the imagery - focused on the
Silken Silence that had cut through me,
opening me to ItSelf;
Inviting me inward in waves of
Golden Silk...

All I could do was watch internally -
in awe and wonder, as this Pristine Silence
split me open and kissed my heart -
and stayed...

Mystic Meandering

Personal Note:
How does one even begin to accurately describe
The Presence of The Mystery - the Indescribable -
that leaves its touch, its image, imprinted forever in
the heart. Words can only try to translate what is
experienced - the treasure that is found in awesome
wonder - leaving one wordless...

From Mystic Meandering

When Realization dawns, then what happens?
You are no longer 'you'.
You remain established
in the inner silence and freedom
without any concern for your welfare,
content with whatever comes along -
and life goes on
in perfect effortlessness.

***

When you see that you have no control
over the results, you stop worrying about
the results and concentrate on the work
that is being done.

TRUTH OF BEING’S EXPRESSION

4:56 AM-12/23/2019

...from Lao-Tsu
Why scurry about looking for the truth?
It vibrates in every thing and every not-thing,
right off the tip of your nose.

Can you be still and see it in the mountain?
the pine tree?
yourself?

Don't imagine that you'll discover
it by accumulating more knowledge.
Knowledge creates doubt,
and doubt makes you ravenous
for more knowledge.
You can't get full eating this way.

The wise person dines on something more subtle:
He eats the understanding
that the named was born from the unnamed,
that all being flows from non-being,
that the describable world
emanates from an
indescribable source.

He finds this subtle truth inside his own self,
and becomes completely content.

So who can be still and watch the chess game of the world?
The foolish are always making impulsive moves,
but the wise know that victory and defeat
are decided by something more subtle.

Two VERY LARGE birds VERY HIGH in sky HOVERING for the longest...

They see that something perfect exists
before any move is made.
This subtle perfection deteriorates
when artificial actions are taken,
so be content not to disturb the peace.
Remain quiet.

Discover the harmony in your own being.
Embrace it.
If you can do this,
you will gain everything,
and the world will become healthy again.

If you can't,
you will be lost in the shadows forever.
Lao-Tsu

CRAVING LIFE
Even if ruins stink of rotten antiquity,
poor’s hands and mouths still search
for treasures in ruins, and one dense night
they get to lick one or the other edible pearls
and deposit them in their box of ‘everyday’.

There’s always hope in gutters;
there’s always a bright possibility lying wide awake
before the road bends towards End.
Those who aren’t willing to live haven’t lost faith in life,
but lost the loud murmurs of searchlights.

They want lightbearers,
to speak up the sign language of mirth
and to bless their empty lives
with green apples, oranges and pineapples.

But fruits are not to be blessed, but to be borne.
For million years onwards,
we are bearing our beards,
our judgments,
our smells and the rest of the billions’.

You are an imperfect product
of a long tiring chain
and that chaining effect can be shed,
even if others may tell you
that past can never be relinquished.

It cannot be forgotten, but it can be given up.
If it lurks at your nightmares,
let go of the nightmares....

...It need not be denied
but can be
punched out to the storm.
Believe me it’s a sin
not to murder your nightmares.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Excellent article above…with gentle suggestions…

When we first hear about emptiness,
we feel a little frightened.
But after practicing for a while,
we see that things do exist,
only in a different way
than we’d thought.

Emptiness is the Middle Way
between existent and nonexistent.
The beautiful flower
does not become empty when it fades and dies.
It is already empty, in its essence.

Looking deeply,
we see that the flower
is made of non-flower elements --
light, space, clouds, earth, and consciousness.
It is empty of a separate, independent self.

In the Diamond Sutra,
we are taught that a human being
is not independent of other species,
so to protect humans,
we have to protect the non-human species.

If we pollute the water and air,
the vegetables and minerals,
we destroy ourselves.

We have to learn to see ourselves
in things that we thought were outside of ourselves
in order to dissolve false boundaries.

Toni Packer - Without cause and conflict

“Life is vast, unknowable movement of wholeness
with no one separate from it and nothing outside of it.
‘Inside’ and ‘outside’ are thought-created divisions.

Wisdom, love, and compassion
are not the invention of thought,
nor are they products or the properties of anyone.
They operate mysteriously, without cause and conflict,
when ‘self’-thoughts are illuminated freely.

At the time of inattention,
thought is busily at work in its narrow,
conditioned space: wanting, fearing,
inventing, grasping, hoping,
striving, judging, condemning, or accepting.

Undivided awareness illumines the whole thing.
Illumination is the end of the sense of separation.
Will inattention take over again?

Thought wants to predict everything,
to make sure and be secure for all time.

But time itself is a creation of thought…
What is, is without self.
It is unknowable, unthinkable, indivisible.”
Toni Packer

Authentically You - V. Erickson, Nepo & MM

Often times, a person will think they know you by piecing
together tiny facts and arranging those pieces into a puzzle
that makes sense to them. If we don't know ourselves
very well, we'll mistakenly believe them, and drift toward
where they tell us to swim, only to drown in our own
confusion.

Here's the truth:
It's important to take the necessary steps
to find out who You are [our True Beingness] because
you hold endless depths below the surface
of a few facts and pieces and past decisions.

You aren't only the ripples that others can see.
You are made of the Ocean...

Victoria Erickson -Edge of Wonder

What it really comes down to is the clearness of heart
to stop defining who you are by those who have hurt you
and to take up the risk to love:
to live at the vibrant edge
of being spirit in the world
exploring the intoxicating quandaries
of being alive,
accepting the grace of our
humanness...

Mark Nepo
From - The Exquisite Risk:
Daring to Live an Authentic Life

~

It's about being enlivened from within;
being fiercely true to the core of our Being:
Compassion, Love and Pure Aliveness...
Open to how That wants to express ItSelf -
allowing the Dynamic Mystery that we are
to express ItSelf from deep within...
Not needing to take a stand on anything,
but finely attuned to the Heart of Love -
discovering a deeper Wisdom...

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself.
It is the only true guide you will ever have.
And if you cannot hear it,
you will all of your life spend your days
on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.

When images become inadequate,
I shall be content with silence.
Ansel Adams

He who does not understand your silence
will probably not understand your words.
Elbert Hubbard

It just took some people a little longer than others
to realize how few words they needed to get by,
how much of life
they could negotiate in silence.
Tom Perrotta

We're fascinated by the words--but where we meet
is in the silence behind them.
Ram Dass

Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms,
and bids us enjoy her beauty;
but we dread her silence
and rush into the crowded cities,
there to huddle like sheep
fleeing from a ferocious wolf.
Khalil Gibran

Only the inner silence is yours.
No-one gave it to you.
You were born with it and you will die with it.
Thoughts have been given to you.
You have been conditioned to them.
Osho

UTTERED AS SILENCE.

BREATHED FORTH
BY THE GREAT BREATHER.

SILENT’S SONG IS THE
ALPHA/OMEGA SAME
REGARDLESS OF FORMS
