By all accounts
the ancients experienced themselves
as living with an ensouled world -
one thoroughly drenched
​in perceptions of goodness and value.

Yolande Duran - Silence (3)

" I'm alive like never and I'm dead, at the same time.
This is a surprisingly present absence.
To live everything in peace, I fell into a deep astonishment and I left myself to do, more and more, more and more deeply.

---

This silence prevents you
from recreating yourself at every moment,
to interfere, to think, to project, to secrete this filter of the mind.

You feel more than you think.
The agitation remains on the outside.
On the inside, everything remains quiet.
No waste of energy.
The fact of perceiving things from another point of view,
not from me but from silence,
breeds great tranquility,
a great presence that nothing can disturb.

So a great efficiency.
The old reflex to identify with one's  thoughts
is immediately swept away.

That energy loss that was before
comes from the identification with this agitation.
We believe in our thoughts.
We're involved, agree, don't agree, anxious, reactive.
We want, we don't want to, we plan, we evaluate.
We're actor of the movie.

Here we are a spectator.
We see the unfolding:
the one from the outside:
the people, the events that pass and that of the inside:
the thoughts, the emotions that pass too,
the same way.
There is not a "I" to say I am that thought,
I am that emotion.
There is no challenge.

And then, there is this flavor of silence...
a sweetness that is there, continuously.
There is no more that voice that judges you,
condemns you, submits you, that exhausts you.

There is no more that suffering,
those thoughts that command you to exist.
And even if, from time to time,
a thought appears, it's so sweet...
She makes you light.
There is no separation.

Everything is in fusion with everything else.
My body, my feeling, is what's closer,
but it's fused with everything else.
It's in the background.
This constant presence prevents you
from falling into the trap of complicity with your own thoughts...
so even less with those of others.

What is going to be done, in the moment,
will be,
will be said,
but it will not be the result of a knowledge,
an understanding.

It's that silence that knows.
It is the one who's doing it.
You let this fluidity act.
It was always here, even when you didn't perceive it.
It is here before everything that can appear at every moment.

It is the one who allows you to live what is.
You don't need to think your life.

It is this presence that allows the world to appear.
Everything that appears,
​ everything that exists
is there only because this silence is here "

​AFTERNOON

When you are with everyone but me, you’re with no one.
When you are with no one but me, you’re with everyone.
Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone.
When you become that many, you’re nothing.
​Empty.
~Rumi

​SO WHAT IS THERE TO REALIZE?
Peonies bloom on peony trees.
A cat doesn’t become a chicken.
Tulips are tulips, not roses.
Why can’t we realize this true fact?
That to be me is great.
I don’t have to be anyone but me.

I am blooming as I am in my life, just as
a peony blooms on a peony tree.
Further, a beautiful peony flower does not
worry about when it will wilt and fall to the ground.
It does not compete with the flower next to it;
rather it blooms with its whole self.
~ Sensie Ogui, from Zen Shin Talks

Neither "Separate" nor "One" - Matt Licata

We are neither "separate" nor "one",
but the erupting holding field in which
the energies of "separate" and "one"
interpenetrate
and dance the relative into being. 

Neither of these concepts
are majestic enough to contain the mystery of the soul. 

Whilewe may have a preference over unity and oneness,
over multiplicity and differentiation,
it would appear that Love
does not share this bias
and is ready at all times
to equally employ either of its manifestations
​ to be its envoy here.

Those visitors of raw, achy, lonely, broken openness
are not neuroses to be cured
or mistakes to be remedied.

The shaky vulnerability is not pathology, it is path.
  As our perception is cleansed,
we see that they are not obstacles,
but passionate, yearning requests
into the tending of the lost grief,
joy, rage and peace
​ of the unlived life.

The freedom we long for will never be found
in the eradication of the unwanted,
but only in deeper layers of attunement
​to the
love and information it carries. 

At times the burning can seem unbearable. 
Such is the nature of the human heart.
  We may burn until we are translucent,
​ but it is by way of this burning
that wholeness is revealed.

This ‘passion’ to return
to the Awareness of the Light/Life You Are
must be greater than the need
for air by a drowning person.
Then, IT literally ‘seeks’ YOU,
which means IT is seeking the sleeping aspect of IT SELF
… when this occurs,
nothing can prevent the inevitable reunion.
