Be Where Love Is - Rumi

My heart, sit only with those
who know and understand you.

Sit only under a tree
that is full of blossoms.
Not every eye can see,
not every sea is full of pearls.
My heart, sing the song of longing
like nightingale.
​
First, lay down your head,
then one by one
let go of all distractions.
Embrace the light and let it guide you
beyond the winds of desire.
There you will find a spring and
be nourished by its sweet waters...
Rumi

AFTERNOON
All photos below taken an hour BEFORE the chart says it's HIGH TIDE.
THE STILL POINT

When the chatter of our mind quiets down,
we find the still point
around which all of life revolves.
From this still point we watch everything
come and go in perfect peace.
Everything that is, was, or ever will be
has a common source from which it comes,
in which it lives,
and to which it returns.
​
Understanding this coming and going,
we return to our source and our confusion ends.
Not understanding this, we remain confused
and bring about great suffering.
Living at the still point, we are open to all of life.
Open to all of life, we don’t judge anything.
Not judging, we see with compassion.
Seeing with compassion,
we discover our true nature.

"The Fallacy of Togetherness" by Osho
Make friends with those who are on the path
at least as much as you are.
If they do not take you forward,
at least they do not become a reason to move you backward on your quest.
If this is not possible,
just walk alone.

The companionship of fools is not good.
Remember one thing,
you have come alone in this world
and will leave this world alone.
The togetherness ideal
is just a way to make you feel better.
Picture
That is why it is important to learn the art of solitude.
In the company of a person
who has gone deeper into themselves,
you will feel their company as well as solitude.


Crowds are formed by people
who are focused on the external.
It’s a miracle to see that there are no crowds
to be seen when you are with people
who are focused in and within themselves.
Picture
If ten internally focused individuals are sitting in a room,
it is not that there are ten internally focused individuals sitting.
It is each individual sitting by themselves,
thereby not forming a crowd.

Internally focused people don’t make bridges to the outside.
If there are ten externally focused people sitting,
there not a crowd of ten people
– it is a crowd of ten thousand.
Picture
This is because each individual is connecting
with the other ten and so on.
Thousands of relationships are been forged.
Even if internally focused people are together,
they leave each other alone.

The best company is offered from people
who allow you to be alone
even while you are with them.
The people worth developing company with
are people who let your solitude retain its purity.
Reflection can only happen in solitude.
Picture
The naturalness and nakedness
of your solitude
maintains its pristine state.
Your aloneness, your silence remains untouched and pure.

They respect your boundaries
and do not become a reason
for disturbing your solitude.
Picture
They provide company,
one which does not invade your space.
When you call them,
they come near to you.
Only as near as you call them
and no more.

They leave you alone
when you want to go inside of yourself.

AFTERNOON
NOT TRYING TO FIX

When confrontation arises
we face it without aggression.
When someone opposes us
we do not give in to anger.
We view no one as a competitor
because we do not seek our own way.

We know our strengths
and we know our weaknesses.
We use them each for benefit.
We are not trying to fix ourselves or others
so we move naturally and easily along our path.

Waking up is unpleasant, you know. 
You are nice and comfortable in bed. 
It is irritating to be woken up. 
.
That's the reason the wise guru will not attempt to wake people up.
 I hope I'm going to be wise here 
and make no attempt whatsoever to wake you up if you are asleep.
.
 It is really none of my business, even though I say to you at times,
 "Wake up!"
 My business is to do my thing, 
to dance my dance.

 "The nature of rain is the same,

Instead of conditioning the next moment with troubled thoughts,
you surrender your investment in them;
now the next moment is open, untroubled, and free. 

There is no need to judge the world around you;
you simply allow it to be what it is. 

If the situation calls for a response from you, fine;
you respond, not from defensiveness or judgment,
but from the
​ natural ease of your presence. 
Picture
In the quiet mystery of surrendering your thoughts,
you have released any fixity of belief or position-taking,
and you are welcomed by openness, quiet,
and a most subtle joy - a lightness of being. 

In surrendering something of no real value,
you have gained the world. 
In the openness of unknowing,
you are
completely safe and innocent.

As dying exists nowhere, it is absolutely unreal.
Tulku Thondup
Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth: A Tibetan Buddhist Guidebook
Picture
Things go on in our psyches when we let creativity through that challenges our everyday control of things
or that challenge our culture's definitions
​of what appropriate behavior might be.
​Part of standing up to fear of death, fear of guilt,
fear of aloneness, fear of joy, and fear of life
is standing up to take in the wild.

Whatever the cost.
I can also resist the temptation to domesticate.
When we domesticate self, God, or other beings,
we are defanging them, emasculating them,
removing the wild from them.
This is not a good spiritual practice.
There must be some wildness left in our lives.

Foolishness and wisdom go together, after all,
and folly is a certain response to wildness.
To follow one's imagination is often an act of folly,
​ a wild act deserving of Spirit's presence.

For Spirit itself is wild, very, very wild.
We are transmitters of Spirit.
Spirit and we create together.
We must trust Spirit.
We must trust the wild again. 
 
   ~Matthew Fox
https://makebelieveboutique.com/2017/08/06/24573/
We must become ignorant
Of all we've been taught,
And be, instead, bewildered.
Run from what's profitable and comfortable
If you drink those liqueurs, you'll spill
The spring water of your real life.
Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.
I have tried prudent planning
Long enough, from now
On, I'll live mad.

Imagine you have two bottles filled with perfume: as receptacles they are separate, but the fragrances that escape from them rise up do not remain separate for very long and they mix. What is the purpose of this imagery? Well, human beings can be compared to bottles of perfume, in that their bodies are separate but with their thoughts and feelings they are able to meet with other human beings and even with entities from the invisible world. Only, we do not meet with anyone we want; we can only reach the souls and spirits in the visible and invisible worlds that correspond to what we ourselves are, because it is just a phenomenon of resonance that is at work here. The purpose, therefore, of prayer, meditation and all spiritual exercises is that they help us elevate our inner self and as we do so, by the power of affinity, we meet with ever purer and ever more luminous spirits.

When we forget our true nature,
we depend on the rules of others
and become their willing slaves.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 72
Leading and ruling are easy to confuse.
The leader who needs obedience
is a ruler, a monarch,
who imposes laws and regulations.
This regulation creates a sense of safety
in the minds of the ruled,
so they willingly abandon
their own wild and authentic nature.
A ruler’s motives might be good,
but the spirit of the ruled
can’t help but be diminished.

A leader kindles the people’s spirits

and helps them express and fulfill
their own destiny.
​
Anarchy is a fearful thing.
We have been taught for so many generations
to be afraid of our true nature,
that we can’t imagine ever trusting it.
This fear of self is what makes us so vulnerable
to the agendas of power-seeking people.
It is also what keeps us trapped in a paradigm of society that no longer works.
Lao-Tzu was essentially a “cooperative anarchist”
- one who believed that human beings were intrinsically capable of directing their own community life without the need for structured authority.
It seems utopian and fanciful to us today,
and it seemed so in Lao-Tzu’s day as well.
Yet his words still resonate more than two millennia later.
They vibrate a string deep within the human spirit
that sings to us and tells us that we have lost our way;
that we have surrendered something precious in the name of comfort and safety.
Can we find it and reclaim it?
I think we can,
because our current paradigm is collapsing and
our authentic nature is patiently waiting to assist us.
Bill Martin

When they lose their sense of awe,
people turn to religion.
When they no longer trust themselves,
they begin to depend upon authority.

Therefore the Master steps back
so that people won't be confused.
He teaches without a teaching,
so that people will have nothing to learn.
Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell Translation

​http://www.taoteching.org.uk/index.php?c=72&a=Stephen+Mitchell
Stephen Mitchell Commentary
for # 72 Tao Te Ching

Therefore the Master steps back:
 He doesn't act as guru or messiah,
because he doesn't, want to keep people dependent on him,
and thus spiritually immature.
 When people start to treat him like a holy man,
he nips their adoration in the bud
and points them to their inner messiag.

  people will have nothing to learn:
They just need to unlearn.

Pretending to know the mysteries of life,
but not recognizing our own foolishness,
is the greatest ignorance of all.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 71

--

I am, indeed a foolish man.
I hide my foolishness
behind a curtain of pretty words
and hope no one will know.
But then we’re all foolish,
aren’t we?
Each in our own way.
So maybe you won’t see
behind the curtain after all.
Pay no attention to the man,
(should you catch a glimpse)
so busy behind the curtain,
manufacturing words so you might think
he really is the Great and Powerful Oz.


--

It’s not that I think that what I write is foolish. I write some good and truthful, sometimes even beautiful, poetry and prose. It’s my craft. I’ve been doing it for decades and I’m good at it. But when I slip into the illusion that I am as wise as my words, I am in great big heaps of trouble.
I know very little of the Mystery,
and understand even less than what I know.
Foolishness is not a terrible thing. It is the only appropriate way to feel as we stand before the Tao. Knowing we are foolish sets us free to find the wisdom we would never find in our hiding place behind the curtain of our ego. When I gaze at an image of the Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor, one of billions of galaxies stretching into the infinity of the cosmos, I feel a great and wonderful fool and laugh
​a belly laugh of freedom

*Wu Wei is an important concept in Taoism
that literally means non-action or non-doing.
 In the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu explains that beings (or phenomena)
that are wholly in harmony with the Tao
behave in a completely natural, uncontrived way.
 The goal of spiritual practice for the human being is, according to Lao Tzu,
the attainment of this purely natural way of behaving,
as when the planets revolve around the sun.
 
The planets effortlessly do this revolving without any sort of control, force, or attempt to revolve themselves, instead engaging in effortless and spontaneous movement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_wei
From Bill Martin
August 1

What we call our separate life,
is simply an expression of the Tao.
When we understand this,
our life becomes the Tao Itself.

 
   From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 70
Wouldn’t it be grand
to let it all go?
To no longer hold in place,
with every single thought and action,
this illusion I call, “me?”
Oh, I’d still be here,
but it would no longer be
the anxious, guarded, frightened
complex of emotions
masquerading as a person.
It would be, I think,
a true human being -
being the Tao
and seeing the Tao
everywhere he looked.
Identity is a slippery thing.
We don’t let go because the “we” who is being told
(by some part of itself)
to let go - can’t possibly let go.
The true person,
the authentic human being
expressing a unique aspect of the Tao,
doesn’t need to let go.

The whole “letting go” conundrum eases
when we realize that all that is necessary
is to continue to notice our authentic nature
as it waits in every moment.
When we notice it, we become it, and the rest just slips away.
(Of course we pick it up again, sometimes only seconds later.
But a crack in the facade has occurred and another ray of light shines in.
One crack at a time
and the whole facade will crumble and,
in the light,
we will see things as they really are.

​My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them, you'll fail.

My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?

If you want to know me,
look inside your heart.

​Tao Te Ching
Trans Stephen Mitchell​ 

http://www.taoteching.org.uk/index.php?c=70&a=Stephen+Mitchell

​My words are very easy to understand
and very easy to practice,
But the world cannot understand them
and cannot practice them.
My words have their primal meaning;
My deeds have their principle.
Only I am without knowledge;
Therefore, I am not known.
If those who know me are few,
Then, what I have is of value.
Therefore, the sage is covered by coarse clothes,
​but embraces jade.

 Quotes in this color font below from
Ephrat Livini

https://qz.com/876067/the-chinese-principle-wu-wei-eliminates-the-need-for-lifehacks/

​ ​The Tao Te Ching, written in China around 600 BC,
first articulated the idea of wu wei.
“Do that which consists in taking no action and order will prevail,”
the book explains.
The idea is that we should stop trying to force action
and get comfortable doing less.
Then, when we do move, our actions are natural, energetic,
and accomplish the desired results.
Picture
Wu wei shows that when we stop making waves,
and learn to wait and watch,
we see outside forces more clearly
and make wiser moves.
Act hastily, and every step is a potential blunder,
with emotion and ego
driving our decisions more than reason.
The Tao Te Ching recommends cultivating non-action
by observing the natural world.
The skies don’t always storm; nor are birds always in flight. Stillness preserves us for action when necessary.
The Taoist storyteller Chuang Tzu
explains the idea further around 350 BC:
“From the sage’s emptiness, stillness arises;
From stillness, action.
​ From action, attainment.”
Picture
Now I know that, like all creatures,
I have a finite amount of energy.
By not acting,
we conserve energy so that we can expend it
when the moment is right.
So wu wei isn’t about resignation or laziness.
about self-preservation—an important skill.
As 2017 begins, I’m sitting still: attentive and ready.

There was an idea that as we healed, we would feel less – less shakiness, confusion, hopelessness, and rage. That as we awakened, the emotional spectrum would narrow, into some safe, consistent, happy, resolved calm, where we become impenetrable, where only flow and bliss and power emerged.
But when did power
ever become the goal?
Or untouchability?
Love is not interested in that,
not impressed by our power
or invincibility.
It is full-spectrum and longs
​ for all of us, wants our burning,
and yearns to penetrate even the most hidden, vulnerable places.
Maybe some old hope that as our hearts opened,
the sensitivity would diminish,
we’d be less at risk, feel safe all the time,
and dwell eternally and gratefully “in the now.”
But we are more unmasked,
more raw,
​and more exposed than ever.
​We wondered if we would be more detached, not care quite so much,
not give a fuck, and rest as the “witness” beyond it all,
protected from the fire of life
In some safe place of observation.
But everything and everyone matter now more than ever…
though in a new way.
It is risky to care and to give a fuck. Yet here we are.
It can be a bit disorienting to discover
that love has very little interest in our safe witnessing,
in our ability to manifest some sort of invulnerable state,
and in being untouchable.
Be touched.
Be vulnerable.
Be alive.
Finally.
Let it all fall apart for once,
take a risk,
get your heart broken.
​Fail brilliantly.
​​This shaky, raw, naked life is your true home.
It is full-spectrum and overflowing
with the qualities of warmth, kindness,
creativity, spontaneity, and play.
Rest there.
Dance there.
Remember what you are.
For this world needs you now more than ever.

Not trying to control ourselves or others
we move easily along this path.
    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 68
Self-control is an illusion.
It is a trick of the conditioned mind
designed to keep us from our true Self.
That true Self needs no control
for it is the Essence of our being
and always moves in accordance
with the Tao.
All the other “selves” we try to control
are themselves illusions and controlling
them is impossible.
The effort we waste in this endeavor
could be better used in doing
that which comes naturally.
​
Discipline is a much misused concept.
​It is usually used to imply some sort of control
to get ourselves or someone else to do something
we or they really don’t want to do.
Often punishment of some sort is part of the mix as well.
This effort produces the illusion of results
and we can keep ourselves or others “in line”
as long as we don’t let up.
A deeper, earlier, and more authentic definition of discipline is;
“the commitment of oneself to a field of study or activity
in order to become proficient and comfortable with that activity.”
Discipline, then, is something that arises naturally
and serves as a guideline,
the parameters of a commitment,
that enables us to move easily along the path that is ours.
The discipline of others follows along the same way;
helping others in their commitment to
 their own path in life.

Tao Te Ching
69
The generals have a saying:
"Rather than make the first move
it is better to wait and see.
Rather than advance an inch
it is better to retreat a yard."

This is called
going forward without advancing,
pushing back without using weapons.

There is no greater misfortune
than underestimating your enemy.
Underestimating your enemy
means thinking that he is evil.
Thus you destroy your three treasures
and become an enemy yourself.

When two great forces oppose each other,
the victory will go
to the one that knows how to yield.

When you feel gratitude,
often you are looking at a difficulty that you have overcome,
but there is still some of that "struggle" vibration present.
The state of

appreciation is seeing whatever you are looking at
through the eyes of Source. . .

You could walk down a crowded street with all kinds of things that a lot of other people would find reason to criticize or worry about,
and you would not have access to them
because your vibration of appreciation is picking out for you
​things of a different vibrational nature.

--- Abraham

Not very long ago in Hyderabad there was a mureed,
rather an intellectual pupil,
and he liked to talk. 
His teacher was interested in his intelligent inquires,
and so he encouraged him to talk,
whereas it is the custom in the East
for the pupil to remain silent before his teacher.
 
One day the teacher was in a condition of exaltation,
and his pupil as usual wanted to discuss and argue,
which was not agreeable to the teacher at the time.
  He said in Persian,
“KHAMUSH”,
which means silence. 
And the pupil remained silent.
 
No one heard him speak after that,
no one in the house nor outside;
he never spoke anywhere.
 
Years passed by and the man still kept silent,
but there came a time when his silence began to speak aloud.
His silent thought would manifest;

his silent wish would become granted;
his silent glance would heal;
his silent look would inspire.
 
His silence became living.
  It was the spoken  words which had kept him dead all this time. 
The moment his lips were closed the silence in him began to live.

 
His presence was living. 
In Hyderabad people called him Shaikh Khamush,
​ the king of silence or the silent king.


Above quote and below quotes in this color font from

Spiritual Dimensions of Psychology
Hazrat Inayat Khan
​When the heart begins to live, another world is open for experience. 
Once a person begins to experience the subtle feelings of the heart,
he lives in another world, though he is still walking on the same earth
and living under the same sun. 
Therefore be not surprised if you find beings
who are living in another world
​ while walking on this  earth.
The one who looks within
finds when he looks without
that all that is within manifests without. 
His sight becomes penetrating,
and his influence is healing,
​ consoling, uplifting, and soothing.
When a person does not know the crookedness of another
and so allows him to get the best of him,
he is a fool. 
But when he sees clearly the roguery and crookedness
of another person and yet allows him to get the best,
he is a holy man. 
He is beyond the regions of humanity;
he is beginning to climb the angelic planes. 
He sees all things,
understands all  things,
​and tolerates all things.
When revelation begins, a man does not need to converse;
before talking, he knows what the other wishes to say. 
The condition of the person or persons before him is revealed;
it is like reading a letter.
The person  may speak to him, but without  listening he knows. 
This is not thought reading, not telepathy,
not psychometry, or clairvoyance as people think. 
 Revelation is all the phenomena there are. 
One can only know that living knowledge when one has  experienced it oneself by the opening of the heart. 
It is then that the purpose of life is fulfilled.

Patience leads to accomplishment.
Striving to accomplish
without practicing patience
leads to failure.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter
67
​www.taoistliving.com
Patience, I discover, requires willingness:
the willingness to sit
while others call me lazy;
the willingness to wait
while others call me slow;
the willingness to be still
while others demand action;
the willingness to think
while others plunge ahead;
the willingness to enjoy what’s here and now
while others strive for something else;
and perhaps most important -
the willingness to be
who and what I am,
while others want me to be
someone and something else entirely.
Patience is difficult because my conditioned mind
insists that I am “not really OK,
”until I accomplish
whatever measure of achievement it has set before me,
so I push and strive and hurry to “get there.”

Patience asks me to be happy and content along the way,
rather than deferring those feelings until I achieve.
If I’m not acceptable to myself without certain achievements,
what makes me think I’ll be acceptable
​ once these things are accomplished?
The same urgent, striving, and basically unhappy conditioned mind
will still be the one setting the standards and cracking the whip.

​Patience is the blessed ability to be grateful and content in the moment,
at this small step along the way.
Without that moment-by-moment contentment
that serves to anchor me,
​ I will slip and fall for sure.
Bill Martin

daybydaytao.org
www.taoistliving.com
The drive for future accomplishment
just builds up the habit of always striving
for something other than what we have right here and now.
​The result is that even when we reach our goal,
​ we’re still being driven by those habits to look for the next thing.

~Friedrich Schleiermacher
​https://makebelieveboutique.com/2017/07/27/24466/
In order to help someone who’s in a very different vibrational frequency,
you’ve got to adjust your vibrational frequency so that they can hear you.
And if we were standing in your physical shoes,
we would not adjust our vibrational frequency down—ever.
We would not introduce more resistance
in our vibration for any reason whatsoever,
because disconnecting yourself from resources
does not give them more to eat.

Language of initiates - is identical to that of nature
 (BAUBO)

An initiate does not speak only with words;
his language can be compared to that of nature.
What does nature do?
It sends us messages all the time.
It does not use words, and yet it speaks to us:
the sun, stars, forests, lakes, oceans, and mountains speak to us
by constantly communicating something of their life and their secrets.

These communications are recorded within us,
but we are not conscious of them.
Yet, it is thanks to them that little by little our sensitivity is enriched
and our understanding enhanced.
We do not know how this understanding comes about, but it does.
An initiate’s language is identical to that of nature.
Thanks to the power of his spirit,
he emits particles, he projects rays,
and, consciously or unconsciously,
​ those who receive them are enlightened and enriched.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Conflicts with others -
resolve them by provoking their positive side  (BAUBO)

How do most countries believe they can solve problems with their neighbours and ensure their safety? By perfecting weapons which are more and more deadly...
Until one day they will end up destroying the whole earth.
Because, with this approach, as time passes, things become more complicated. Until human beings choose to solve their problems with spiritual force,
with the power of divine love, nothing will ever be resolved.
Therefore, whatever your situation and station in life may be,
from this day forward you at least must try to resolve any problems
with your parents, your friends or your enemies by expressing love and kindness. By doing so, you will activate a law
which will require them sooner or later to respond in the same way.
Yes, this is the power of provocation.
Until you understand how to resolve problems, you will provoke the negative side in others, which in turn will wait until you drop your guard and then come back to attack you.
Study history and you will see that this has always been the case.
From now on, learn to provoke the good in all those you meet.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

AFTERNOON.....
....Taoist thought advises us to allow the mystery of death to teach us the true meaning letting go. 
This, I believe, will bring us greater joy and appreciation
than any of the false promises our acquisitive culture has fostered will ever be able to do.
As one of my folk heroes, Arlo Guthrie, says,
“Die now, go later!”

​

Our real life begins when we are thrown out of the illusion, suddenly no longer the star performer in the happy story.
Then what counts is where we go with the fulfillment of our fears, the destruction of our naïve assumptions and wishes.  
​
Will we wake up in the appropriate moment, cast loose what we only lightly took on,
and enter upon the life that awaits those who are here for something more than what we all get lost in youthfully.
Inside that something more, a second life unfolds, with a void self, a selfless vessel in the central position. ​
It’s not as divesting, nor so heroic and fascinating.
​But showing up is what we get to do at last.”

Fear can be conquered by compassion.
Trying to conquer fear without compassion,
leads only to ruthlessness.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 67
I live in a frightened world;
one that covers its fear with bravado,
with aggression and bluster,
so the fear grows in secret,
contaminating everything.
Compassion acknowledges the fear;
perceives it in every situation
and holds it always in the light,
never letting it hide
to do its work in shadow.
​
We’re all afraid, terrified actually.
Look at the faces in the media.
Look at them carefully.
Photos, of course, are chosen by editors to illustrate their own biases.
But beneath the editorial bias these photos reveal the hidden fear behind the eyes -
in the furrows on the brow; in the averted eyes;
in the all-too-composed smiles.
Fear is ubiquitous and is only mitigated
​in the presence of true compassion. 
​
Picture
 This inherent compassion is not silly sentimentalism.
It stands openly in fear’s presence with a strength and courage
that bravado and bluster cannot muster.
It offers understanding in place of intolerance and mercy in place of vengeance.
To discover it we must first gently and courageously
uncover the fear we have tried to bury beneath our anger and denial.
As we look at photos of others and at ourselves in the mirror,
let us acknowledge the fear we see
​ and begin to let it find the light.

I SEE YOU
Bob O'Hearn
​

If I should seek to know the thought-free state
all I need do is gaze into your eyes
every being who ever was, is, or will be
gazes back; I am gazing back, even though
I am not a being, not a thought, not conceivable
or perceivable, not even a secret godly whisper
shimmering in the stillness, nor anything
I thought I was, you were, we are.
Picture
I cannot see myself except through you,
you who live to share this same silent vision,
this eternal gaze expanding, always becoming
more than sight, more than any kind of knowing --
​
Picture
a fluid wordless epiphany emerging from nowhere,
the same place we inhabit now in our loving,
Picture
this exquisite loving without location or circumference,
and even though we never move,
yet forever we are
circling in lazy liquid orbits around each other,
never once allowing our gaze to falter,
never even blinking.

– Bob O’Hearn

*Tao Te Ching #4
Stephen Mitchell Trans.

**So the first thing we want to tell you about Innate is that it is a body-wide system that "knows" more than anything that your nervous system or brain system could ever know. Innate is everywhere: it's in your toenails and in your hair; Innate is everywhere DNA is, and in any form that DNA exists. It's unique and it's you.

Behind the clouds of separation
Matt Licata
​

As long as you remain tangled
in the trance of unworthiness,
you will inevitably postpone fully being here,
and continue to place the burden of your unlived life
​ on those around you.
Look carefully and see how the orphaned pieces
of your body, of your heart, and of your nervous system continue to appear as your partners,
your family, your children, your friends,
and even as the colors
​ in an erupting summer sunset.
As you slow down and turn back
into the aliveness within you,
the invitation is to dare to see
that you were never unhealed,
that nothing is missing,
and that by infusing your immediate experience
with presence, with warmth,
and with kindness
​that you can re-author the story.
Picture

 AFTERNOON
You can go back into the surging feelings, emotions,
and sensations that the old narrative
has safeguarded you from, and see,
finally, once and for all,
if you still need to be protected from the raw,
naked activity of life, of love,
and what it truly means to be a sensitive,
​vulnerable, awake human being.
Not after you clean up your past,
not after you feel safe all the time,
not after you heal all your wounds,
not after you find your “soulmate,”
not after you manifest great things,
not after you replace the hopelessness with hope,
and not after you find answers
​to all your questions.
​ But now.
 Honor the role that the dream characters
have played in your life until now –
the unlovable one,
the unworthy one,
the broken one,
​ and the failed one.
You need not go to war with these ones.
You need not send them away,
practice aggression toward them,
heal them,
or let them go.
For they will let go of you
when they are no longer needed to protect you
​ from the aliveness of your own heart.
To let in the implications of this is utterly exhilarating.
And completely terrifying simultaneously.
One world is ending
so that the true world may appear
​ from behind the clouds of separation.

in building a successful life.
It’s not a strategy
for amassing wealth.
It’s not a technique for gaining
enlightenment or peace of mind.
It’s not an esoteric secret
to be shared among the elite.
It’s not a discipline
that makes one into a “master.”
It’s so ordinary that a homeless man,
pushing his shopping cart along the street,
can discover it alongside the curb.
This is why we give it honor.
Picture
​ So, the question often confronts me:
“Why, then, should I give any thought to this thing you call the Tao?”
Picture
​There is no reason that would satisfy the conditioned mind.
All I can say is that,
without it the natural flow and direction of life gets dissipated.
With it, the very essence of life
in all its odd and terrible mystery comes alive.
Picture
Happiness becomes true happiness.
Grief becomes true grief.
All the ordinary moments become suffused with underlying joy.
I become aware of being a part of the Whole
​ rather than apart from that Whole.
​
Picture
​That feeling of belonging,
of being at home in life,
is ultimately more important
than any of the other promises
the conditioned mind believes are important.
Picture
There may be moments,
sometimes many moments,
when I do not like the experience;
but I am always a part of the Tao -
I belong here.

I think one thing vital to any Dangerous Old Woman is her creative juices...she follows them, she uses them to create what she wants, they adorn her heart and mind with vitality and rejuvenation.....all women are intensely creative, even the ones who think they aren't....they key is to find and use that spark to energize, fulfill, sustain, create more sparks!
As women age and move into the second half of life,
they no longer have the mating/motherhood/career energy that drove their younger years....the shift in hormones creates an earthquake in the brain which seems to shake loose fruit that was stored for the winter time of life...
..suddenly so much voluptuous sweet ripe fruit with which to create passion for life and living it,
maybe eating the dripping fruit naked,
the juices slowly flowing over her breasts,
​ stomach, thighs.....making an afternoon of loving ripe sweet fruit in the nude...that sounds good to me ;)
I'm still initiating into accepting my deepest power, my truest most authentic voice.
I am learning to give it more of my attention,
and give the old self less attention.
Thanking it and releasing it.
​ Stepping into new territory.

​AFTERNOON.............LOW TIDE     "A FOREVER OCEAN!"
 And what makes the old woman so dangerous ...
Is it perhaps that she is not likely to play nice,
she is not likely to say the words you want to hear
just because you want to hear them.
She is more likely to tell you what she fiercely believes, her truth,
​ regardless of how that makes you feel about her. 
​
She now hears the voice of instinct more clearly
and she is loathe to ignore it. 
Her body, which once had the capability to bring forth new life,
has changed.
It is now her soul that brings forth new life,
new thoughts,
new wisdoms. 
​​
There are wrinkles in the oddest places,
and they are caught in the side glance of her eyes.
She sometimes thinks about the beauty that she used to be,
and knows that beauty is still within her,
if not everyone sees it anymore,
​ she remembers. 
​
She is not heartless, she is more caring than you can ever realize.
You probably will not realize it,
​until you become a dangerous old woman as well. 

http://www.wildwolfwomen.com/sl/dww.htm
My identity fits not in any name or form.
Nor am I held captive between birth and death.

I am not the blood that runs through my veins
or the warm breath that flows through my nostrils
or the mouth that breaths. 
I am not the memory of myself or the hopes
that skip like stones into the future. 
​
Past and future ripple through me as the wind of time,
whilst space is the echo of my infinity. 
I am not this I am not this I am not this,
yet I am the lover of all things,
and find myself at the heart of all
​ that has a name and form.

4:16 AM-7/19/17
True silence can be defined as the highest region of our soul.
The moment we reach this region,
​ we enter into cosmic light.
Light is the quintessence of the universe.
It passes through and permeates everything we see around us –
people, nature, objects
and even what we cannot see.
Picture
The silence we strive to create within us
during concentration, meditation and prayer has only one goal:
fusion with this primal light
which is vibrant and powerful,
and which penetrates all of creation.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
http://www.prosveta-usa.com/silence-enables-us-to-fuse-with-the-light_2017-07-18​
The one who re-creates from that which has died
is always a double-sided archetype.
The Creation Mother is always also the Death Mother and vice versa.
Because of this dual nature, or double-tasking,
the great work before us is to learn to understand
what around and about us and what within us must live,
​ and what must die.”

― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/901977.Clarissa_Pinkola_Est_s?page=6
When women (or men-dmm) reassert their relationship
with the wildish nature, they are gifted
with a permanent and internal watcher,
a knower, a visionary, an oracle, and inspiratrice,
and intuitive, a maker, a creator, and inventor, and a listener who guide, suggest, and urge vibrant life
​ in the inner and outer worlds.

In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting
over how much is wrong or unmended in the world.
Do not focus on that.
There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened
by dwelling on what is outside your reach,
by what cannot yet be.
Do not focus there.
That is spending the wind without raising the sails.

We are needed, that is all we can know.
And though we meet resistance,
we more so will meet great souls who will hail us,
love us and guide us,
and we will know them when they appear.
Didn't you say you were a believer?
Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater?
Didn't you ask for grace?
Don't you remember that to be in grace
​ means to submit to the voice greater?

(Young girls) are taught to not see, and instead
to "make pretty" all manner of grotesqueries
whether they are lovely or not.
This training is why the youngest sister can say,
"Hmmm, his beard isn't really that blue."
This early training to "be nice" causes women to override their intuitions.
In that sense,
they are actually purposefully taught to submit to the predator.
Imagine a wolf mother teaching her young to "be nice"
 in the face of an angry ferret or a wily diamondback rattler.

​All creatures must learn that there exist predators.

Baubo (“belly”) is the goddess of ribald sensuality,
of creativity and laughter,
the oft forgotten shamanic goddess
who uses the absurd as a catalyst for growth and healing.  

Sensuality and laughter.
Both of these qualities are embodied by the goddess Baubo,
the hilariously raunchy goddess
of liminal space who reminds us
to rock the yoni power!

http://www.thegoddessdiaries.org/blog/baubo-let-your-freak-flag-fly
Baubo is the goddess I turn to when I need to be reminded that,
even at my lowest, I am powerful.
Just as I am.
I don’t always remember to thank her every day, but she’s there.
I feel her when I dance with a grin on my face.
I feel her when I feel at my most beautiful, strong, and sexy.
And when I don’t feel at my most beautiful,
I know that I can always go somewhere quiet,
close my eyes, and imagine putting my head in her lap.

Or imagine her raising her eyebrows at me,
and giving me that Look with a smile, that says,
“honey child, what have I told you? You GOT this.”

Baubo is beauty in the wild, as it were.
She gives me the courage to keep being myself,
no matter what I look like on any given day.
She reminds me that beauty has more than one flavor,
and she helps me get better at seeing it-
in myself, in others,
in events and words and deeds as well as faces.

http://sjtucker.xyz/the-laughter-at-the-roots-of-me-baubo/
Baubo is at the root of my confidence.
She is acceptance of who you are, unrepentant mirth,
and sacred foolery at its most pure.
She is a tall drink of maturity paired with sexiness,
without a drop of boredom.  
She is the Crone, the Sacred Fool, and the Sacred Feminine all together.
She is Mama, Sister, Snarky Friend, and Reality.
She is power, gorgeousness, and belly laughs.
She’s equally at home in sequins and frills, or mud and fresh air.
She’s with me when I turn on the sexiness on stage.
She’s with me when I work and when I play.
She’s with me at dance class, at festival, and in the bedroom.
​And I’m so glad to know her.

― Bill Plotkin, 
Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World
​

Soul has been demoted to a new-age spiritual fantasy or a missionary's booty,
and nature has been treated , at best,
as a postcard or a vacation backdrop or, more commonly,
as a hardware store or refuse heap.
Too many of us lack intimacy with the natural world and with our souls,
​ and consequently we are doing untold damage to both.
The soul faithfully comes to our aid
through dreams, deep emotion, love,
the quiet voice of guidance, synchronicities, revelations,
hunches, and visions,
​ and at times 

 through illness, nightmares, and terrors.
​ The enlivened soul and wild nature
are deadly to industrial growth economies -
​ and vice versa.
Picture
​Nature, too, supports our personal blossoming
(if we have any quiet exposure to her)
through her spontaneities,
through her beauty, power, and mirroring,
through her dazzling variety of species and habitats,
and by way of the wind, Moon, Sun, stars, and galaxies.
​Given that the human soul
is the very core of our human nature,
we might note that,
when we are guided by soul,
we are guided by nature.
Both soul and greater nature
do guide us in our individual development,
​whether or not we ask for this guidance.

On this path, the smallest things are honored
and the greatest things are seen as ordinary.

    From Tao Te Ching,
Chapter 63



The judge inside our heads
has a twisted view of life.
Money and power tip the scales
in most decisions.
Economic power,
religious power,
military power,
status, achievement,
and possessions are the exhibits
in the case before the bench.
Don’t let this judiciary decide your case.
Go to the court within your heart
where the unseen, quiet, simple things
weigh more than anything
the conditioned mind can muster.


--

When Lao-Tzu talks of, “smallest things,” he is not referring just to size.
He is speaking of the way we categorize life
into the “significant” or “insignificant.”

The Tao, he says, stands our categories on their heads.
The people we do not notice are likely the most enlightened and wise.
The events that do not make the headlines
are the pivot points about which the future turns.
The artifacts we take for granted and seldom even see
have the greatest value.
On the other hand, the people whose names dominate our media
and fill our conditioned minds
are actually insignificant and unworthy of notice,
let alone honor.

Events that dominate the headlines are never what they seem to be.

The trinkets that cost the most and underlie our massive debts are really very ordinary and of little use.
​Do you notice examples in your experience?

Action on this path unfolds without effort.
Work is accomplished without strain.
Life is enjoyed without clinging.

  
 From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 63
Picture
So much effort is wasted
when my conditioned mind is in control.
Balancing a dozen spinning plates
while herding a dozen cats
and at the same time
keeping a dozen ducks in line.
Whew!
Any fool knows that plates
are made for serving food,
not spinning.
Cats are best left to themselves
and can manage very well, thank you.
And ducks…
well, perhaps a mother duck
could manage for a second or two,
but ducks soon fly away.
Picture
Picture
I think it is the clinging that jams up the process.
It is hard to keep our attention on the task at hand
when our mind is holding on to yesterday’s work.

  Wu-Wei
- - - the effortless action that seems to do itself - - -
is not a product of my conditioned mind.

It emerges from my “Original Mind,”
my “Tao Mind,” that is never separate from the flow of energy
in and through and out again.
This Mind clings to nothing and can use that energy for effective,
powerful, and passionate action;
then immediately be available
​ to the flow for whatever’s next,
whatever’s now.
Act … let go.
Act … let go.
Act … let go.
​ Always available, always renewed.

​Act without doing;
work without effort.
Think of the small as large
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;
accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.

The Master never reaches for the great;
thus she achieves greatness.
When she runs into a difficulty,
she stops and gives herself to it.
She doesn't cling to her own comfort;
thus problems are no problem for her.

 The rewiring of neural circuitry
Matt Licata
​July 7, 2017


It takes practice to rewire neural circuitry, to re-encode pathways with empathy, attunement, and compassion.
Unfortunately, for most this foundation was not available;
there was not holding environment that could contain, dance, and play
​ with the magic of a little emotional being.
Picture
​Intellectual understanding, while important, is not enough.
It takes action in the moment,
a new response to the eruption of dysregulating thoughts and feelings,
over time, to reorganize the nervous system and re-author a new,
​ more integrated narrative about who we are.
Picture
The good news is that you can begin right now,
no matter what is going on in your life.
Instead of urgently seeking relief,
become curious about the unique ways you become activated in relationship. Instead of falling into the habitual extremes of dissociation and fusion,
enter into communion with the burning,
the charged, and the claustrophobic,
​ unresolvable alive world of feeling.
Picture
The journey of metabolization occurs in stages, which we cannot skip.
Initially, we must train ourselves to stay
with the intensity for very short periods of time,
titrating and pendulating the overwhelming thoughts and feelings,
going back and forth testing our window of tolerance.
Slowly, we discover that even though it may feel otherwise,
we can endure this material.
Our survival is not actually being threatened.
Before we can begin to move deeper,
we must first know in an experiential way that staying with it
​ is not going to take us down.
Picture
​Once the nervous system has the experience
that it can tolerate very small doses,
we then stay for two seconds, instead of one.
We move from merely “tolerating” to starting to contain it,
realizing it is not some enemy coming at us from the outside,
​but a lost aspect of ourselves, longing to be allowed home.
Picture
Once contained, we can begin the journey of accepting it.
Not “acceptance” in that we are condoning or settling for something
– or that we “like” it or “want” it to say –
but in the sense of a fiery, compassionate willingness.
We are willing to experience what has come, finally,
for we sense that resisting what is,
this whole play of experiential avoidance,
​ is the root cause of nearly all our psychological suffering.
​
​We are no longer willing to abandon ourselves.
No, I’m not going to do that any longer.
Even though it takes everything in me,
I am going to move toward my vulnerability and care for it,
re-encoding a new pathway.
Even though I will not be “perfect” at it and likely “fail” over and over again,
​ I will remain steadfast in my vision.
Picture
This is where the work shifts to a more heart practice,
where we aren’t as interested in clear insight and pure awareness,
safe as a witness on the sidelines,
but rather begin to explore what it would actually mean
to open our hearts to our pain.
To hold it like a mother surrounding and enveloping her baby.
This can be pretty radical and truly goes against the grain.
We start to bring kindness to the feelings,
​ to the parts of ourselves we had to disown at an earlier time.
Picture
​It just moves on from there,
with deeper and more integrated forms of awareness,
compassion, and exploration,
traveling into the core of whatever arises and touching it with our hearts. Eventually we may even come to love our triggers,
longing to hold them and know their subtleties,
standing in awe at the opportunity to learn more about love
​ as it comes into form.
Picture
Depending on the degree of trauma and dysregulation,
this work if often best done within a safe (yet provocative) relational container, where we can make use of an attuned other’s calm and soothed nervous system
to help contain, hold, and integrate this material.
That’s not to say that we cannot do a lot on our own.
It is kind to allow ourselves to at times turn to another for help,
while at other times to stay contained and practice on our own.
​
Picture
In this way we can become vehicles of love in action,
knowing that this work we are doing is never for ourselves alone.
​ But is for life everywhere.

The Tao is home to all who follow it;
and home as well to all who do not.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 62
Perhaps the difference lies
in knowing where home is.
Ignoring the flow of Tao
creates a sense of homelessness;
which, in turn, leads directly
to the fear
which fuels the violence,
which tears our world apart.
It happens inside of me as well.
When I feel at home, my spirit rests.
When I lose that sense of home,
all the violence of the outer world
plays out within my inner world,
and my spirit suffers.
The Tao is home to all, but not all feel at home in the Tao.
In a similar way The Earth is home to all, but not all feel at home on Earth.
Without that sense of “home,”
our fear convinces us that our only recourse
is to subdue that which makes us afraid.

We attempt to create our sense of home
by eliminating all that is uncomfortable, different, and foreign;
anything or anyone that might pose a threat to our safety, comfort, and desires.

We still live within the Tao, but we do not truly feel at home;
cannot actually sense that we belong.
But the truth is that we are always and ever at home and can never be away.
If we allow that truth to form the basis of our inner world,
our lives and our outer world will find peace at last.

​
The purity of form
Matt Licata


While it is perfectly natural to prefer silence over noise,
oneness over multiplicity, and harmony over chaos,
actuality appears to not share this bias.
​ A star appears to not share this same view.
Picture
The natural world and energies inherent in the human spirit are creative, destructive, alive, and full-spectrum.
Love is equally prepared to make use of the noisy, the multiple, the dual, and the confused to seed the relative with its qualities.
To come at times as uncontaminated dualistic rage, bewilderment,
and disordered wildness,
​ so that form can come into being.
​The unfolding of form is not always the expression of a clean, nondual view: untainted, invincible, and safe from reorganization, deflation, and the exposure of pure human vulnerability in all its dimensions.
At times,
the articulation is of a messy untamed ragingly empowered union
of ascendant and descendent currents,
heaven and earth,
​ sun and the moon.
It is common to have a dualistic understanding of “nonduality,”
where it has become synonymous with silence, stillness, clarity,
and transcendence, in a subtle war with confusion, activity, and the chaotic purity of emotion, imagination, the body, and the heart.
Implied is the unexamined belief that the formless is more pure than form,
spirit is more pure than matter,
and silence is more pure than noise.
But this is not nonduality.
This is fear.
​ It is not possible for there to be division in that which is nondual.
Let us reclaim the essence of nonduality
by seeing that it is not opposed to duality,
would never be at war with it,
and end the dream of a conceptual spirituality.
Let us re-enchant nonduality and infuse it with life,
holding it loosely in one moment and discarding it the next,
staying with the magic of now
​ as it erupts in and as our lives as they are.
As we cultivate the courage to travel inside the opposites,
hold the tension in balance,
and compassionately confront the entirety of what we are,
the inseparability of form and formless will be laid bare.
The curtain will come down behind the Wizard of separation
and the purity of the human form will be revealed.

July 4

A nation centered in the Tao
offers tranquility in place of restlessness,
and peace in place of conflict.
It admits its mistakes and swiftly corrects them.
It honors those who point out its faults
and turns its enemies into friends.
Its humility and benevolence illumine the world.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 61

Restlessness drives my culture
and tranquility is suspect;
perhaps vaguely anarchistic.
Conflict stokes the fires of commerce
and peace is seen as weak,
tinged with dreaded socialism.
Mistakes are denied
by marshaling “alternate facts”
and correction is not an option.
Critics are enemies of the state
and enemies are to be destroyed.
Arrogance and self-interest
darken the world.
How sad it has been to reach the point in Lao-Tzu’s book where his advice is directed to his country’s leadership,
​ just as my nation is celebrating an honored dream that has faded into a vague memory.
As fireworks rise above Lake Siskiyou this evening
​ I will sit in my back yard and struggle with tears.
Tears have accompanied my reading and writing
the past two days as the outrage that has been so prevalent wears itself out,
leaving a deep sadness.
Picture
My consolation rests in the understanding
that the Tao will take the depth of sadness
and use it as the pivot point
by which darkness begins its long inevitable journey
back to light.
​ The seeds of transformation are already sinking their roots
​ in preparation for stretching toward the sky.

There is a psychospiritual disease of the soul that originates within ourselves and that has the potential to destroy our species or to wake us up, depending on whether or not we recognize what it is revealing to us.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko
We are currently in the midst of the greatest epidemic sickness known to humanity.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko
There is no talking rationally, using logic or facts, with someone under the spell of the psychic epidemic, as their ability to reason and to use discernment has been disabled and distorted in service to the psychic pathogen which they carry.
― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko
Indigenous people have been tracking the same 'psychic virus' for many centuries, calling it 'wetiko' in Cree (windigo in Ojibwa, wintiko in Powhatan),
a term that refers to a biologically wicked person or spirit
​ who terrorizes others by means of evil acts.

― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko
Evil devastates any possibility of an intellectual response;
the tools of the rational intellect are as helpless
in coping with the after effects of evil
​as it was in preventing it.

― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko
Wetiko psychosis is at the very root of humanity's inhumanity to itself in all its various forms.
As a species,
we need to step into and participate in our own spiritual and psychological evolution,
which means that we must focus our attention on and contemplate this most important topic before this virulent madness destroys us.

― Paul Levy, Dispelling Wetiko
Wetikos can psychopathically (and thus toxically) mimic the human personality perfectly.
If it serves their agenda, they can be convincing beyond belief, making themselves out to be normal,
caring, politically correct human beings.
They can endlessly talking about taking responsibility, but they never genuinely face up to and become accountable for their actions.
They are unable to genuinely mourn,
being only concerned with themselves.
They will feign grief, however,
just as they will try to appear compassionate,
if it is politically expedient to do so and, hence,
to their advance,
​they are master manipulators
.”

From Bill Martin
​July 2

Fear, desire, greed, and restlessness arise within the mind.
If we stir them, they will permeate our lives.
If we let them go, they will fade away.

  
 From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 60
Picture
How do I stir them?
Let me count the ways.
Facebook, news,
clicking, surfing,
texting, chatting,
buying, fretting,
on and on I go,
keeping the hamster wheel
turning, whirring, spinning;
then it’s twirling
by its own momentum
while I’m reading, resting,
eating, even sleeping.
Stop!
Picture
​
The fearful, harmful, restless thoughts have such energy and power.
They are the fuel that culture demands to keep its engines running.
I am taught that I must oppose them by engaging them,
but perhaps I am only adding to the energy that keeps the wheel turning.
I have not been taught to wait long enough in silence to see what might arise when the mud settles and the water clears.
I’m all for action, but what the world needs now is action that emerges,
not from fear and restlessness,
but from stillness.
Stillness is hard to trust when the mind is filled with fear,
​but fear has never conquered fear.
Bill Martin
www.taoistliving.com
I said to my soul, be still,
and let the dark come upon you
Which shall be the darkness of God. . . .
So the darkness shall be the light,
​and the stillness the dancing.

Things were made to be used, and people, to be loved.
But the misunderstanding is so deeply ingrained that
people are being used and things are being loved.
You have seen people divorcing their wives or husbands.
How many people do you see divorcing their money?
We are using people and loving things.

Tao Te Ching
If a country is governed with tolerance,
the people are comfortable and honest.
If a country is governed with repression,
the people are depressed and crafty.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
Try to make people happy,
and you lay the groundwork for misery.
Try to make people moral,
and you lay the groundwork for vice.
Picture
​Thus the Master is content
to serve as an example
and not to impose her will.
She is pointed, but doesn't pierce.
Straightforward, but supple.
Radiant, but easy on the eyes.

Stop trying to be good and holy,
and find that your heart is pure.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 57
“Be good!” has echoed
down the corridors of my mind
as long as I can remember.
It was the imperative of imperatives;
the sine qua non of all commands -
as if the basic quality of my being
were a matter of my moral choice.
​
“Be holy” adds yet another layer of suffering.
Now it is some god out there
whose expectations I must meet
in order to be acceptable.
To know that my heart is naturally pure -
whole, clear, genuine, and real -
that is happiness.

​The problem lies in the slippery usage of the words.
  The admonition to “be good,” implies a degree of forced morality,
either by an external or an internal judge. 
If it were phrased as, “learn to act with compassion,”
I could understand it as a sage and helpful guideline.
Guidelines are helpful in steering our inherent goodness
along wise and mindful pathways.
Assuming that I am basically, “good,”
allows me to learn and mature in my choices
without the pressure of being either bad or good.
But believing that goodness is some sort of moral achievement
puts me always at the mercy of the voices,
internal and external,
 that want me to behave a certain way for their own ends.

Perhaps a gentle admonition might be best stated,
“Continue to grow in wisdom and compassion
 because your heart is good and pure!”

​When you get up in the morning, the first thing you should do is smile.
At whom?
No one.
Because just the fact that you woke up is not a small thing.
So many millions of people who slept last night did not wake up today,
but you and me woke up.
Isn’t it great that you woke up?
So smile because you woke up.
Then look around and if there is someone, smile at them.
For so many people, someone dear to them did not wake up today morning. Everyone who is dear to you woke up – Wow!
It’s a great day, isn’t it?
Then go out and take a look at the trees.
​ They didn’t die last night either.  

Sadhguru
Joy is not to be sought outside – it is intrinsic.
If you do not mess up your mind, you will naturally be joyfuL.

Sadhguru
When you are fundamentally joyous,
when you do not have to do anything to be happy,
then every dimension of your life
– the way you perceive and express yourself and the world –
will change.
You will no longer have vested interests
because whether you do something or you do not do something,
whether you get something or do not get something,
whether something happens or does not happen,
you will be joyous by your nature.
When you are joyous by your nature,
​your actions will rise to a completely different level.

Stop trying to improve yourself
and find that you naturally improve.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 57
Self-improvement is an oxymoron
designed to keep an illusion alive
by insisting that it keep improving.
Who is this “self”
and why does it need “improving?”
I’d like to keep learning and discovering
new wonders in the corners of my life.
I’d like to see more clearly
into the reality of existence.
But I think for this to happen
I’ll have to stop tending to this self
and its demands for improvement.
​Of course I enjoy learning, growing, and discovering
new depths of myself and of the cosmos in which I live.
To use the concept of improvement to characterize this enjoyment is,
at least within my culture, unhelpful.
Picture


Improvement tends to imply a standard
by which to measure myself,
an “ideal me” for which to strive.
Innovation is simply thinking of something new
and giving it a try.

Creativity is the helpful use of imagination.
Exploration is the willingness to venture into new territory,
relationships, and world views.
These things can flow naturally within my life
without being contaminated
​ by the conditioned desire to, “improve.”

Weapons destroy life.
Rules constrict life.
Cunning plots complicate life.
Striving weakens life.

 
   From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 57
All the strategies I’ve been taught
to make my life safe and happy
have turned out to be
misguided illusions.
Weapons have never kept us safe;
Rules have failed to make us happy;
Plots boomerang on us every time;
and all our effort gains us nothing.
Why do we keep believing lies?
Why do we increase our speed
when heading for a cliff?
Why do we follow voices
whose intent is to crush our spirit
and control our every action?
Lao-Tzu continues to amaze me with advice
that is completely counter to my conditioned mind.
Someone inside me still believes that weapons can keep me safe;
that I must follow other people’s rules in order to survive;
and that I must try harder and harder to achieve
whatever in the hell it is we’re all striving for.
This cultural conditioning is more than just a little voice inside my own head.
It is the driving energy of the deep currents of violence,
misery, and chaos that my world faces today.
We can do our part to balance this energy by ceasing to believe this voice.
It’s always lied to us and its lies are destroying us.

 You have a tree in your garden:
you can pass it several times a day without paying it any attention,
as if it were a piece of stage set made from plaster or cardboard.
But you can also be conscious that it is a living being,
and you can even approach it, greet it, talk to it, and absorb what it represents.
You may say, ‘Greet a tree, talk to it, what good can that do?’
Of course, physically and materially, this changes nothing.
But, on the subtle planes, the tree is enriched by your presence and, at the same time,
you are enriched by it.
It is you, in fact, who gains the most: you enter into communication with the life that circulates from the roots all the way to the tips of its branches,
and you also become acquainted with the invisible creatures
who live in it and look after it.
Yes, for there are beings who work to maintain life everywhere in nature.

So many theologians have distorted the image of the Creator and Master of the universe by making the devil into God's implacable enemy!
An entity that is so well able to stand up to God has to be as powerful as he is,
if not more powerful.
You will say they never thought such a thing...
But they did, and the proof is that, in Christendom,
throughout the Middle Ages and well beyond,
men and women who displayed gifts that were a little exceptional
were accused of having received these gifts from the devil,
of having made a pact with him.
And, unfortunately, the Church itself contributed to the spreading of this belief.

Yes, if the devil has held such an important position among Christians,
it is the Church itself that is responsible.
If anyone prophesied, healed the sick or received messages from heaven - oh no, it wasn't heaven inspiring them but the devil.
So, we should not be surprised if some people really did want to make a pact with him.
Why, they asked themselves, should we go and serve a powerless God, since all the knowledge and gifts come from his opponent, the devil?
Their thinking was right, in a way.
So, that is the kind of nonsense religion can lead to
​when it does not possess true initiatic knowledge concerning good and evil.

​June 16


People use plans in an attempt
to gain their objectives.
But true success arises
from letting go of plans.
Life lives itself.

  
 From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 57
Life lives itself through me -
neither haphazardly
nor according to my plans -
but by the eternal creative
flow of Tao.
The same Life that carves canyons
and fills up oceans,
sustains me without effort,
and I live according to my nature
the way the bear who lives unseen
on the hill behind my home
lives according to his nature.
A house might benefit from a plan,
at least one that exists in the mind of the builder.
But the most beautiful and functional homes arise
from flexible and open-ended plans, 
and are created by builders who let the form emerge
​ from a blend of materials and imagination.
A house should be built according to its own nature.
Any creative form should be built according to its own nature.
Look around and notice a human society consisting primarily
of forms and products built according to someone’s “plan.”
Then look at the mountains, forests, and lakes that exist,
not according to plan, but according to their own nature.
As a forest has its own nature,
so does our individual life.
Don’t spoil it with a plan.

 A time of self-enlightenment for all…William Rand's (Reiki.org) Holy Fire II Reiki is more about getting the practitioner out of the way of the healing process than any other healing modality of which I am aware… to quote him,
"...in Holy Fire Reiki, an important concept is that the more the practitioner stays out of the process, the more powerful it becomes..."


I agree and I feel as though we are beyond the time when anyone can "do it for us".  I also believe in self-enlightenment, which means exactly what it says:
we can have a teacher, we can have a mentor, we can have a guide…
And we still have to do all the real work ourselves.


Now is the time when those of us
who are in a more enlightened & higher energy place
can only hold the space of love and intent
for those who are attempting to do their own work…
Creating the space and the empowerment
as well as holding the energy for them to be able to do what they need to do
​ for their own growth and enlightenment.

The life our heart desires
is undisturbed by thoughts
of success or failure,
and simply takes its place
as part of All That Is.

    From Tao Te Ching, Chapter 56
Picture
The two-sided coin called “success or failure”
has been minted by our collective mind
and put in circulation by our fears and desires.
It is “phony money”
that we now believe has actual worth.
It substitutes for the rewards we truly want:
doing the work that is ours to do;
seeing the world in simple splendor;
loving and being loved
without conditions;
and never doubting
that we belong.
Picture
A voice inside my head asserts that everyone wants to be successful;
that it is a natural human quality and leads
to advancement of the economy and improvement of the quality of life.
But we have so twisted the word that exactly the opposite results now ensue.

In the Tao, success is a community experience
that arises when people pursue simplicity, service, and compassion.
All enjoy success together, and all suffer hardship together.
When it becomes an individual pursuit the Tao is lost,
community is lost,
and happiness is lost.
To find our way back home
it will be essential that we each patiently redefine the term, “success,”
as we consider our own lives and the lives of others.

Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.
Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.
Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.
