Allow yourself to be used -
Thomas Merton

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That is not the right use
of your work.

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

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

Thomas Merton

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

AFTERNOON

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All Tao Te Ching quotes from:

My soul is racing ahead of me.
It says,
The body is too slow for me.
I am going.

alchemy of integrity

My life is not this steeply sloping hour,
in which you see me hurrying.

Much stands behind me; I stand before it like a tree;
I am only one of my many mouths
and at that,
the one that will be still the soonest.

I am the rest between two notes,
which are somehow always in discord
because death's note wants to climb over-

- but in the dark interval, reconciled,
they stay here trembling.

AFTERNOON

It is important to grant yourself permission
to wander as part of your spiritual journey.

So often mischaracterized as lostness,
there is a kind of immersion
in the not knowing that is actually quite necessary
if we are going to find our way home.

So much information can come up
when we are looking in no particular direction.
By surrendering to the unknown,
we create the space for a deeper knowing to emerge.

In the heart of the not knowing,
the paths that we are here to walk reveal themselves.
Jeff Brown

centered in purity
Each moment is fragile and fleeting.
The moment of the past cannot be kept,
however beautiful.

The moment of the present cannot be held, however
enjoyable.

The moment of the future cannot be caught, however
desirable.

But the mind is desperate to fix the river in place:
Possessed by ideas of the past,
preoccupied with
images of the future,
it overlooks the plain truth
of the moment.

The one who can dissolve her mind will suddenly
discover the Tao at her feet,
and clarity at hand.
~Lao Tzu
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/09/09/alchemy-of-integrity/

The truth is, indeed, that love is
the threshold of another universe.
—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The first step in love is losing your head.
After the petty ego
you then give up your life
and bear the calamity.

With this behind you, proceed:
polish the ego's rust from the mirror of your self.

Governing a large country
is like frying a small fish.
You spoil it with too much poking.

Center your country in the Tao
and evil will have no power.
Not that it isn't there,
but you'll be able to step out of its way.

Give evil nothing to oppose

When a superior man hears of the Tao,
he immediately begins to embody it.
When an average man hears of the Tao,
he half believes it, half doubts it.

When a foolish man hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud.
If he didn't laugh,
it wouldn't be the Tao.

Thus it is said:
The path into the light seems dark,
the path forward seems to go back,
the direct path seems long,
true power seems weak,
true purity seems tarnished,

true steadfastness seems changeable,
true clarity seems obscure,
the greatest awe seems unsophisticated,

the greatest love seems indifferent,
the greatest wisdom seems childish.

The Tao is nowhere to be found.
Yet it nourishes and completes all things.

If you overesteem great men,
people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions,
people begin to steal.

The Master leads
by emptying people's minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.

He helps people lose everything
they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.

Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place.

AFTERNOON

Every being in the universe
is an expression of the Tao.
It springs into existence,
unconscious, perfect, free,
takes on a physical body,
lets circumstances complete it.

That is why every being
spontaneously honors the Tao.

The Tao gives birth to all beings,
nourishes them, maintains them,
cares for them, comforts them, protects them,
takes them back to itself,
creating without possessing,
acting without expecting,
guiding without interfering.

That is why love of the Tao
is in the very nature of things.
Lao Tzu
http://www.happycow.org.uk/inspiration/quotes_tao_random.shtml

In harmony with the Tao,
the sky is clear and spacious,
the earth is solid and full,
all creatures flourish together,
content with the way they are,
endlessly repeating themselves,
endlessly renewed.

When man interferes with the Tao,
the sky becomes filthy,
the earth becomes depleted,
the equilibrium crumbles,
creatures become extinct.

The Master views the parts with compassion,
because he understands the whole.

His constant practice is humility.
He doesn't glitter like a jewel
but lets himself be shaped by the Tao,
as rugged and common as stone.
Lao Tzu

Returning to the source is serenity …
~ Lao Tzu

Returning … to the Source
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.

Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.

Returning to the source is serenity.

If you don’t realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.

When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,

kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
~ Lao Tzu

Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes,
you are ready.

Your Three Greatest Treasures

Some say that my teaching is nonsense.
Others call it lofty but impractical.

But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.

And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.

I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.

These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.

Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.

Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.
~ Lao Tzu

(some of the) Lao Tzu above poems are excerpted from
The Enlightened Heart …

...in the Foreword, Stephen Mitchell, the editor says
“… Most of what we call religious poetry is the poetry of longing:
for God, for the mother’s face.

But the poems in The Enlightened Heart are poems of fulfillment.
They were written by the Secret,
who has many aliases.

Sitting or dancing,
all these poets have found themselves inside the circle--
some of them a step within the circumference,
some far in,
some at dead center.

Looking out from the center,
you can talk about the circumference.
But really, there is no circumference.
Everyone, everything, is joyfully included …”

IN/OF/AS
THE GREAT NOTHING OF ALL
ew
6:23 AM-8/17/20

The ancient Masters were profound and subtle.
Their wisdom was unfathomable.
There is no way to describe it;
all we can describe is their appearance. They were careful
as someone crossing an iced-over stream.
Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.

Courteous as a guest.
Fluid as melting ice.
Shapable as a block of wood.
Receptive as a valley.

Clear as a glass of water.

Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?

Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?

The Master doesn't seek fulfillment.

Not seeking, not expecting,
she is present,
and can welcome all things.

TAO TE CHING
- #15

https://terebess.hu/english/tao/mitchell.html#Kap15

Note for Tao Chapter 12 – Stephen Mitchell

Till your mud settles:
“Mud” stands for concepts, judgments, desires, expectations---
everything that obscures and narrows reality.

The Master’s life is pure and placid:
predictable like the seasons,
obvious like the moon.

When our mind/heart becomes transparent,
the light of the Tao shines through.

The water is clear:
I asked my old teacher, Zen Master Seung Sahn,
to comment on this verse.

He said
“Our mind is like a glass of clear water.
If we put salt into the water,
it becomes salt water;
sugar, it becomes sugar water;
shit, it becomes shit water.

But originally, the water is clear.
No thinking, no mind.
No mind, no problem.

Rumi ♡ How long...

how long
can i lament
with this depressed
heart and soul

how long
can i remain
a sad autumn
ever since my grief
has shed my leaves

the entire space
of my soul
is burning in agony

how long can i
hide the flames
wanting to rise
out of this fire

how long can one suffer
the pain of hatred
of another human
a friend behaving like an enemy

with a broken heart
how much more
can i take the message
from body to soul

i believe in love
i swear by love
believe me my love

how long
like a prisoner of grief
can i beg for mercy

you know i'm not
a piece of rock or steel
but hearing my story
even water will become
as tense as a stone

if i can only recount
the story of my life
right out of my body
flames will grow

AFTERNOON

BEING THE BLACK SHEEP

The black sheep has an immense responsibility put on them,
from themselves,
to step out of the pack.
They lead the family lineage
into the next chapter
of their ancestors’ journey.

It requires strength, courage, persistence, trust and grace.
Not only have they chosen a path of self discovery,
they are unveiling
generations of trauma
and
opportunities for healing.

These people are the visionaries, healers, artists, creatives, architects, empaths, musicians and lovers.
The ones that break the mould.

Usually ostracized
and
made to feel different by families,
especially those who are conservative and traditional.

It can be subtle.
Never truly feeling like you belong in the family
you’re born into.
Unconsciously spending much of your time
trying to bridge that gap and ‘fit in’.

Most cultures that held onto their traditions
including deep philosophy, ancient knowledge
and connection to all parts of the universe
have been hunted and murdered.

Horrendous acts that are still happening today.

The presence of rebellion in the family
is here to see through the illusion
of socially enforced normality.

Acknowledge the deep unseen love
of the family unit
and go to the places others
aren’t brave enough to go.

Representing the will of the collective
ancestral wisdom to bring unity and love
to all aspects of themselves.

The black sheep has always been
here to push the evolution of the tribe.
To explore new territory and bring through
new ideas and ways of survival.

The ones able to think creatively
and take risks.
This is how we evolve as a collective.

The exploration of our global tribe
is branching out in
an overwhelming number of ways.

Exposing us to deep suppression
of
shadows and unspoken.

All reflecting back to us
deeper elements of ourselves.

Sarah Baiada

Without a listener there is no song,
and there is no singer.

the rush of stillness
sings through it all
it cannot be trampled
or held
it cannot be concocted
by chanting spells
or reading books
or sitting for a thousand years
you cannot wait for it
or gain it
or throw it away
knowing this
is the dawn of love

I would say
that the stillness that seekers long for
is the end of belief in the dream.
Yet this is also feared,
because when the dream of this and that
is seen to be made up,
then it means also that they are made up!

It would mean that everyone
they have ever loved or known
in their entire lives are also made up!

It would mean that there has never been a past
and there will never be a future.
  A future where somehow
stillness could be attained or lost.

It would mean the end of all seeking,
as the seeker has disappeared.

he end of all ideas of other better more or next.
It’s like the Zen guy
sitting there in the cartoon
and one guy says to another so this is it huh?
And the other guy says
Yep.

AFTERNOON

TAO IS A WHIRLING EMPTINESS,
YET WHEN USED IT CANNOT BE EXHAUSTED.
OUT OF THE MYSTERIOUS WELL
FLOWS EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE.

BLUNTING SHARP EDGES,
UNTANGLING KNOTS,
SOFTENING THE GLARE,
SETTLING THE DUST,
IT EVOLVES US ALL AND
MAKES THE WHOLE WORLD ONE.

SOMETHING IS THERE, HIDDEN IN THE DEEP!
BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHOSE CHILD IT IS---
IT CAME EVEN BEFORE GOD.

The TAO TE CHING
of
LAO TZU

Translated by
Brian Browne Walker

With the willingness to bear
Whatever comes,
Comes the end of
The need of
Any and all strategies and
Safety is recognized as
The illusion that it is.

This human mechanism
is the most sophisticated machine on the planet!

TRANSPARENT SILENCE OF ORIGIN

We are solitary.
We can delude ourselves about this
and act as if it were not true.
That is all.
But how much better it is to recognize
that we are alone;
yes, even to begin from this realization.
Rainer Maria Rilke

We have been put into life
as into the element we most accord with,
and we have, moreover, through thousands of years of adaptation, come to resemble this life so greatly
that when we hold still,
through a fortunate mimicry
we can hardly be differentiated
from everything around us.

We have no reason to harbour
any mistrust against our world,
for it is not against us.
If it has terrors, they are our terrors;
if it has abysses, these abysses belong to us;
if there are dangers, we must try to love them.

And if only we arrange our life in accordance
with the principle which tells us
that we must always trust in the difficult,
then what now appears to us as the most alien
will become
our most intimate and trusted experience.

How could we forget those ancient myths
that stand at the beginning of all races,
the myths about dragons that at the last moment
are transformed into princesses?
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses
who are only waiting to see us act,
just once,
with beauty and courage …

Rainer Maria Rilke

Paris, on the second day of Christmas 1908
It must be immense, this silence,
in which sounds and movements have room,
and if one thinks that along with all this
the presence of the distant sea also resounds,
perhaps as the innermost note in this prehistoric harmony,
then one can only wish
that you are trustingly and patiently
letting the magnificent solitude work upon you,
this solitude which can no longer
be erased from your life;
which, in everything that is in store
for you to experience and to do,
will act an anonymous influence,
continuously and gently decisive,
rather as the blood of our ancestors
incessantly moves in us and combines
with our own to form the unique,
unrepeatable being
that we are at every turning of our life.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Furuborg, Jonsered, Sweden, 4th November 1904
… just the wish that you may find in yourself enough patience to endure and enough simplicity to have faith; that you may gain more and more confidence in what is difficult and in your solitude among other people. And as for the rest, let life happen to you.
Believe me:
life is in the right, always.

—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

AFTERNOON

A man went for a walk one day.
As he walked,
he became aware that he was feeling lost and alone.

Rather than push the feelings away,
he allowed them to be present with him.
"I'm lost. I am all alone,"
he cried to himself.

A deep sadness arose within him.

Suddenly a voice arose from a deeper level.
"If you are lost, then where are you?"

It was the voice of his Being.
It was the voice of truth.

The man paused to consider the question.
"If I am lost, then where am I?" he asked aloud.
He sat down and as much as possible,
he became present with his feelings.

"I am lost. I am all alone!" he repeated several times.

Once again the voice of his Being gently challenged him.
"You say you are lost.
Then where are you?"

The man tried to see where he was.
Suddenly, it became clear to him.

"I am lost in my mind!" he cried.

It was so simple.
He was lost in his mind.
He was lost somewhere in his remembered past.
Or somewhere in his imagined future.

One thing was clear.
He was not here now.

He closed his eyes and became very still.
He became very aware of his body and his breath.
He became very aware of the sounds around him.
He could feel the soft caress
of the breeze upon his face.

He became silent.

He began to feel very present.

The feeling of being lost and alone disappeared.
He paused for a few moments in silent gratitude.
He opened his eyes
and his heart exploded with joy
as a bird soared into the sky.

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

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

Excerpt from:
Chapter 18 of
The Heart of Awareness-A Translation of the Ashtavakra Gita
Thomas Byrom
Quoted here:
https://dorotheamills.weebly.com/oceanspeak-youthanasia-sanctarii/relief-sans-belief-he-looks-busy-but-he-does-nothing-the-teaching-of-my-soul-april-4-2019
(this above link has a typo...but clicking it gets you to April 14, 2019 where this quote is)

If you want to live a life of balance, try this:
Turn off the news for a while,
meditate, turn on Mozart,
walk through the forest or the mountains
and begin to make yourself a zone of peace.
Let go of the latest story.
Listen more deeply.

When we react to insecurity
with fear we worsen the problem--
we create a frightened society.
Instead we can use courage and compassion
to respond calmly with a fearless heart.
~Jack Kornfield
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2020/04/12/32123/

Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that allows the wheel to function.

We mold clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes the vessel useful.

We fashion wood for a house,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes it livable.

We work with the substantial,
but the emptiness is what we use.
Laozi Tao Te Ching 11

AFTERNOON

Teaching a Stone to Talk, excerpt
At a certain point you say to the woods,
to the sea, to the mountains, the world,
Now I am ready.
Now I will stop and be wholly attentive.

You empty yourself and wait, listening.
After a time you hear it:
there is nothing there.

There is nothing but those things only,
those created objects, discrete, growing or holding,
or swaying, being rained on or raining, held,
flooding or ebbing, standing, or spread.

You feel the world’s word as a tension,
a hum, a single chorused note
everywhere the same.

This is it: this hum is the silence.
Nature does not utter a peep - just this one.
The birds and insects,
the meadows and swamps and rivers
and stones and mountains and clouds:
they all do it;
they all don’t do it.

There is a vibrancy to the silence,
a suppression,
as if someone were gagging the world.

But you wait,
you give your life’s length to listening,
and nothing happens.
The ice rolls up, the ice rolls back,
and still that single note obtains.

The tension, or lack of it, is intolerable.
The silence is not actually suppression;
instead, it is all there is.
—Annie Dillard

*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.

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.

Hsin Hsin The Book Of Nothing

To Open Up and Bloom

I am always reluctant to use the word "God",
because everybody seems to carry around
their own stagnant images and definitions
that totally cloud the ability to step outside
a narrow individual frame of reference.

If we have any conception of what God is,
certainly it should be changing and expanding
as we ourselves grow and change.

This is the very nature of our life's movement:
to expand, to open up and blossom.
Like flowers that will turn completely backward to face the light, sometimes we too must do an about-face
if we would see what IS.

Since we do not know in which direction to turn,
must wait like the flower for the morning sun,
and with no effort or resistance,
be pulled in the direction of the light.

Whatever we care to call the Ultimate Reality,
we cannot define or qualify it because the brain
is incapable of processing this kind of data.

Experience of No Self

If thou but settest foot on this path,
thou shalt see it everywhere.
–Hermes Trismegistus

AFTERNOON

The path to heaven lies through heaven,
and all the way to heaven is heaven.
–Catherine of Siena

The bird has no path;
where the bird flies is the path.
The fish has no path in water;
wherever it swims is the path.
–The Upanishads

Rather the flying bird, leaving no trace
Than the going beast
Marking the earth with his track.

The bird flies by and forgets
(As is only right). The beast
Where he no longer is
(And is therefore no use)
Marks that he was there before
(Which is also no use).

For to remember is to betray
Nature, since the nature of yesterday
Is not nature.
What has been, is nothing.
Remembering
Is failure to see.

Move on, bird, move on, teach me
To move on.

–Fernando Pessoa

The real miracle is not to fly or walk on fire.
The real miracle is to walk on the Earth,
and you can perform that miracle at any time.
Just bring your mind home to your body, become alive,
and perform the miracle of walking on Earth.
Thich Nhat Hanh
https://www.lionsroar.com/mindful-living-thich-nhat-hanh-on-the-practice-of-mindfulness-march-2010/
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.

Lao Tzu - Why scurry about looking for the truth?

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.

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.

the Above "Whisper" to Appear
thru these physical fingers

Monday, August 5, 2019
The disciples of a spiritual teaching are aware that within them there is something beautiful and great that longs only to express itself, and they seek the help of beings of light from the invisible world. Their wish flows from them as a subtle fluid, and the entities that pick this up are always ready to respond to their request. But it is one thing to have a spiritual ideal and quite another to keep it firmly in your soul. When you have succeeded in elevating your inner state, it is difficult to stay on the high ground. But you have to cling on, because it is up there that you will find pure air, light and freedom.
In our universe, it is the sun that represents the summit, the spirit. In order to reach their inner summit and remain there, disciples of spiritual science must make daily efforts to hoist themselves up to the sun. Then when they come back down to face whatever events may occur, a part of them will remain up above, in the sun, inspiring all their decisions.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

And listen once again...

The contradictory feelings of hope and hopelessness,
meaning and flatness, anxiety and rest.
The shakiness and uncertainty in the belly.
The tightness in the throat. The raw breaking inside the heart.
The joy that at times is there,
but never can seem to be sustained.

All the techniques, the teachings, the things to manifest,
the new beliefs to take on,
the worn-out ideas about the true source of peace,
aliveness, and flowing abundance.
Perhaps there were once answers to these questions,
but now there is no answer to be found.
Only a burning where the questions once existed.

This burning is the doorway, the portal, pure evidence of the connection.

.A cosmic sort of exhaustion can come at times,
where we find ourselves in the bardo between one moment and the next.
We can’t quite go back to the way it was, but the rebirth has yet to appear.

There is a creativity in the liminal but it can seem out of reach.
We are asked to marinate in the womb of now,
tend to the groundlessness, and find refuge
in the unknown:
to be midwife to the darkened illumination.

There are signs and symbols and guidance all around and inside us,
but their appearance is governed by a timeline written somewhere else.

As we bear witness to a new day, in awe at the gift that has been given…
the breath is here.
The heart is quivering.
The birds have come.

Sounds from the other world,
another opportunity to hear,
to behold the miracle of the senses.

The sun has come up again.
The moon is hiding nearby waiting her turn.
For just one moment,
the veil parts and the perfection is there
awaiting our participation.

Your life is not an unending self-improvement project
and your heart is not a venture
to be undertaken, mastered,
and completed.

Perhaps today was never going to be the day when you figured it all out,
got all your questions answered,
or resolved the contradictions.

It's just too wild for all that.
Just too creative.
Just too alive.

Today may not be the day for answers,
but to let your heart break open to the vastness of the question.
To fall to the ground as a humble lover of the mystery.
And listen once again.
Matt Licata

The first obstacle that peace must flow across is your desire to get rid of it.
For it cannot extend unless you keep it.
You are the center from which it radiates outward
to call the others in.

You are its home,
its tranquil dwelling-place
from which it gently reaches out
but never leaving you.

If you would make it homeless,
how can it abide within the Son of God?
If it would spread across the whole creation,
it must begin with you
and from you reach to everyone who calls
and bring him rest by joining you.

ACIM OE T.19.Va
"The First Obstacle [to Peace]
The Desire to Get Rid of It"

AFTERNOON

The seed of insight is in us, but it's obscured
by layers of ignorance, sorrow, and disappointment.
When we practice mindfulness,
we see the seed of awakening in everyone, including ourselves.
In the process of learning, reflecting, and looking deeply
our view becomes increasingly wise.

When we practice mindful living, Right View will blossom.
With Right View, we see the way to go, and our seeing gives us faith and energy,
based on our real experience.

If we feel better after walking meditation,
we'll have the determination to continue the practice.
When we see walking meditation bringing peace to others,
we'll have more faith in the practice.

With patience,
we can discover the joy of life that is around us.
~Thich Nhat Hanh

Transformative journeys start with a wake-up call: For some, it arrives as a sudden, intuitive recognition. But just as often, the call may come through an external crisis. Evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris has written that stress is what creates evolution in nature: Plants grow through pruning. Human beings grow the same way. When we're faced with a situation that we can't control or change with our current level of understanding and skill, evolutionary stress arises and impels us to question, seek, practices nd eventually take a deep outside of our comfort zones into higher levels of awareness.

Stress is uncomfortable and, for some, downright disturbing. But in science and in spirituality, important breakthroughs are often preceded by a period of intense frustration or impasse. In this impasse, the answers emerge from a momentarily still mind. Often, it takes the form of an insight, like a download from the Source while resting or taking a walk.
Spiritual breakthroughs follow a similar pattern. You search for answers with intense curiosity and intention. Great teachers off the path of self-inquiry sought to answer the question, "Who am I really?"

The period following a wake-up call often requires letting yourself live in the stress of unanswered questions and unsolved problems.
It's a time of intense effort and practice- of longing for wisdom, for change.

This intensity breeds Tapas, or transformative heat-
burning off bad habits through purification,
refining your vessel,
and opening your psyche for revelation and insight.

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.

i looked up from grass to the aloe plant this bird takes to....
...and the bird was flying directly towards and very close to my face...
... back from the plant at my eye level....
....as though to make sure i NOTICED her!
It seemed the very instant I noticed her,

#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.

AFTERNOON

Where are you going? - Truthlesstruth
Spiritual Junkie

How many retreats do we need to attend, and
How many healing ceremonies does it take, and
How many awakenings do we have to go through,
To understand their message?

So long as trust in the universe is lacking,
we keep dialing God’s number like fools.
And as the medicine becomes our diet,
We won’t dare to hang up the phone.

But has our head ever disappeared,
As we lost sight of it?
Do we need to keep repeating our names,
To know what we are called?

A spiritual junkie lives from rush to rush,
And neglects many everyday concerns.
Not knowing that that way,
He hurries right past most gems of life.

He wants the high’s without the low’s,
But nothing exists independent of its opposite.
By continuously seeking spiritual bliss,
He walks the path of the eternal sucker.

The Truth is never hidden from anybody.
The sacred time and space is right here now.
Seek no further, get on with life.
In the love, in the light, in the glory and in the darkness.

Unknowing

The universe makes most sense by not making much sense.
As its purpose is to have no particular purpose,
It has infinite creative potential.

It moves as it stays and stays as it moves.
As change is its only constant,
It remains forever the same.

It has always been going on without going anywhere.
As it has never started and will never end,
Time does not apply to it.

It gives rise to all pairs of opposites.
And as the source of everything,
Nothing exists apart of it.

You are neither its puppet nor its master.
These ideas are based on self and other,
But such separation never took place.

There is only all-self which is all-other,
Forever re-creating itself out of itself.
We are IT dreaming we are other.

Now, wake up.
But beware.
The juice of life is in the dream.

Tao Te Ching #41
When a superior man hears of the Tao,
he immediately begins to embody it.
When an average man hears of the Tao,
he half believes it, half doubts it.
When a foolish man hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud.
If he didn't laugh,
it wouldn't be the Tao.

Thus it is said:
The path into the light seems dark,
the path forward seems to go back,
the direct path seems long,
true power seems weak,
true purity seems tarnished,
true steadfastness seems changeable,
true clarity seems obscure,
the greatest art seems unsophisticated,
the greatest love seems indifferent,
the greatest wisdom seems childish.

The Tao is nowhere to be found.
Yet it nourishes and completes all things.
Translation by Stephen Mitchell.

(Ps. 23:4)
http://www.biblemeanings.info/Words/Artifact/Staff.htm

Nietzsche’s “Three Transformations”

In a kind of parable,
Nietzsche describes what he calls
the three transformations of the spirit.
The first is that of the camel, of childhood and youth.
The camel gets down on his knees and says,
“Put a load on me.”
This is the season for obedience,
receiving instruction and the information
your society requires of you
in order to live a responsible life.

But when the camel is well loaded,
it struggles to its feet and runs out into the desert,
where it is transformed into a lion --
the heavier the load that had been carried,
the stronger the lion will be.

Now, the task of the lion is to kill a dragon,
and the name of the dragon is “Thou shalt.”
On every scale of this scaly beast, a “thou shalt” is imprinted:
some from four thousand years ago;
others from this morning’s headlines.
Whereas the camel, the child,
had to submit to the “thou shalts,”
the lion, the youth, is to throw them off
and come to his own realization.

And so, when the dragon is thoroughly dead,
with all its “thou shalts” overcome,
the lion is transformed into a child
moving out of its own nature,
like a wheel impelled from its own hub.
No more rules to obey.
No more rules derived
from the historical needs
and tasks of the local society,
but the pure impulse to
living of a life in flower.

For the camel,
the “thou shalt” is a must, a civilizing force.
It converts the human animal into a civilized human being.
But the period of youth is the period of self-discovery
and transformation into a lion.
The rules are now to be used at will for life,
not submitted to
as compelling “thou shalts.”

It comes the time for using the rules in your own way
and not being bound by them.
That is the time for the lion-deed.
You can actually forget the rules
because they have been assimilated.
You are an artist.”

A Passing Show - Etty Hillesum

Understand that all outer appearances are a passing show...
People sometimes say: "you must try to make the best of things."
I find this such a feeble thing to say.

Everywhere things are both good and very bad at the same time.
The two are in balance, everywhere and always. I never have
the feeling that I have got to make the best of things.
Everything is fine just as it is.

Every situation, however miserable, is complete in itself
and contains the good as well as the bad...
Things come and go in a deeper rhythm, and people must
learn to listen..

AFTERNOON

And as a Zentropist,
we must always remain true to the creed that,
“The fluent blade cuts cleanly.”
(Credit for the above quote is the novelist Takashi Matsuoka in his novel,
“Cloud of Sparrows”
which I think probably ought to be better known than it is).

https://zentropist.wordpress.com/about/the-seven-primary-attributes-of-the-zentropist/

Some may believe that our journey through life
is walked on the precipice of a Great Abyss,
which we may choose to acknowledge or not,
and that our actions will indeed
“echo through time”
whether we realize this or not.

Whether we gaze into the abyss,
and whether or not it looks back are inconsequential;
the Zentropist has a responsibility to share his or her gifts,
however humble they may be perceived,
for in doing so
he or she will be rewarded one thousand-fold.

Thus speaks the Tao of the Zentropist…

but the reverse isn’t true.”

No teacher or master is in possession
of your enlightenment.
Ultimately only you can free yourself.

Just shed your
delusions like a sweaty shirt and slip into the
stream of zen and tao, empty minded,
quiet hearted, at rest in the midst
of everything and at peace
with all that
occurs.

Polish
yourself on your
own over and over until
you disappear, and you’ll wake up
right where you are. You’ll see straight
through the snares of the world and
pass freely into complete
realization.

Brian Browne Walker - Nothing is apart

There is no
difference between your
body and the body of the buddha.
If ignorance exists, seeds
of realization are
sown in it.

Seeing
yourself in the master and
the master in yourself, you sense
reality. Understanding that all worldly
phenomena and the one reality are
interwoven and inseparable,
you begin to experience
peace and comfort.

Carrying on,
continuing on with concentration,
you illuminate your own buddha nature
from within, and then, seeing that nothing
is apart from it, become free
and peaceful in all
you do.

Tao is a whirling emptiness, yet
when used it cannot be exhausted.
Out of this mysterious well
flows everything in
existence.

Blunting
sharp edges, untangling
knots, softening the glare, it
evolves us all and makes
the whole world
one.

Something is
there, hidden and
But I do not know whose
child it is — it came
even before
God.

from The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu,
Chapter 4
https://brianbrownewalker.com/tao-te-ching/

If you
correct your mind, the
rest of your life will fall into place.
This is true because the mind is the governing
aspect of a human life. If the river flows
clearly and cleanly through the
proper channel, all will
be well along its
banks.

The
Integral Way
depends on decreasing, not increasing;
to correct your mind, rely on not-doing.
Stop thinking
and clinging to complications;
keep your mind detached and whole.
Eliminate mental muddiness and obscurity; keep your mind
crystal clear. Avoid daydreaming and allow your
pure original insight to emerge.
Quiet your emotions
and abide in
serenity

Don’t
go crazy with the
worship of idols, images, and ideas;
this is like putting a new head on top of the head
you already have. Remember: if you can
cease all restless activity, your
integral nature will
appear.

from Hua hu Ching, Chapter 45
https://brianbrownewalker.com/hua-hu-ching/

Among the four elements,
it is not the earth but water that corresponds best
to the way we can understand matter.

Water is the symbol of primordial matter
that received the fertilizing seeds of spirit,
and this is why, in the beginning of the book of Genesis,
we are told that
'a wind from God swept over the face of the waters'.
Water is the matrix of life.

Life emerged from water
thanks to the principle of fire – spirit –
that put water in motion.
Without the action of fire,
life is not possible.

Alone, water – matter – has no life;
it is fire that infused life into it.

On the earth, our planet, life is also born
of the action of fire on water.

The first seeds of life,
brought by the sun's rays,
travelled to the ocean's waters
that welcomed them like a loving mother.

12-17-2014

She carried them in her womb
and they grew, multiplied
and gave rise to all the forms of life
that we know today.

Live with unremitting alertness.
~Joseph Campbell

Taking the moon into your practices brings you closer to the bone....
inquiry for today~ what is behind your dark moon?
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2018/12/22/28666/

I think it is a good idea to study death because,
as Campbell says, it is
"the prime condition of life."
Life and death are two sides of one coin.
Together- always together- life and death
complement and complete each other.

If we play dumb about death, life loses its vitality and meaning.
We may never fully understand death while we are alive,
but that does not mean that we should fear it,
or deny it, or merely tolerate it with a weary attitude.
Death has so much to teach us- it is our greatest teacher.

When we study death
we see how everything is dying and being reborn as something else,
over and over, every day, everywhere,
in all kingdoms, species, elements, and forms.
Nothing is wasted, everything has its purpose,
all things are connected,
and therefore eternal,
in the vast cycle of birth and death.

When we understand this,
we can let go of our crippling compulsion
to hang on tight to who we think we are
and to what we think we need in order to survive.

We can appreciate how new life
is always born out of the dark fertility of death.

We can enjoy what is given with gusto,
grieve what is lost with passion,
and dwell with humor and faith in the vast,
infinite mystery.

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

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

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

a much-needed and Perfect Re-Reminder for this morning....
...and all time in earth time-zones!)

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

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

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

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

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

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

AFTERNOON

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I dropped into my soul
and left my ego behind.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AFTERNOON

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

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

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

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

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

~ Chuang Tzu

ETERNAL CORE TRUTH "The source is within you,..." "...nothing to understand ..." December 14, 2018

TOO LATE TO CHANGE ‘YESTERDAY’
EXCEPT BY BEING LIVED DIFFERENTLY THIS DAY..
<
BE THIS ONE MOMENT OF ETERNAL CORE TRUTH
THAT NEVER CHANGES
ew
2:28 AM-12/14/18
(above Whisper Arises before reading the below Sunrise quotes-..
...they were picked/saved 2 days ago, but not consciously remembered this morning)

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world.
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.

Every wonderful sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade,
but do not be disheartened,
the source they come from is eternal, growing,
branching out, giving new life and new joy.

Why do you weep?
The source is within you,
and this whole world is springing up from it.
– Jalal al-Din Rumi
http://thewildreed.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-source-is-within-you.html

At some point you no longer seek to be less this and more that,
to be without fear,
to be without desire;
you seek nothing.

This can be called a form of respect for The Essential.
The Essential is not something
that is hidden behind the appearance
- these are beautiful Indian stories -
the Essential is what is Here.

There is nothing else than that.

There is nothing to understand,
there is simply nothing.

That's what is reflected
as lightness that apparently arises
when the situations suit your ideology
and which apparently disappears
when the situations do not correspond
to your plan for humanity...
(or yourself)

Eric Baret
teaches from the Tantric Tradition

Silence is the ultimate reality.
Everything exists in this world through silence.
True silence really means going deep within yourself
to that place where nothing is happening,
where you transcend time and space.

You go into a brand new dimension of nothingness.

That's your real home.

In deep silence there is no good or bad,
no one trying to achieve anything.

Just being, pure being...
[What Beret calls The Essential]

Robert Adams
of the Advaita tradition

AFTERNOON

"If the birth of Christ happens not in me,
what does it profit me?"
~Meister Eckhart

Bliss is born
as the light of
pure awareness
in the black and groundless
womb between
your thoughts.

Here, in immaculate silence
sorrow and joy
mingle in one cup.

She who cradles all
the stars in her darkness
has become your breath.

Now drink
and be the mother
of your own heart.
Alfred K. LaMotte
http://yourradiance.blogspot.com/2018/12/birth.html

Can you keep your soul in its body,
