RareFiring's Sunrise Attunement   
BEING THE PRESENCE
 IS YOUR ONLY TASK FOR THIS
 AND EVERY DAY.  ​

ANYTHING IN ADDITION TO THAT
 WILL SIMPLY BURDEN AND PULL A “YOU” 
FROM THE NON AWARENESS OF GRACE.  ​

EXPERIENCE DIVINITY IN ALL THAT IS THIS DAY
 BY MELTING MORE PURELY
 INTO THE INVISIBLE ABYSS
 OF 
PERFECT LOVE.

In an insane world you must be mad to be sane.
In an upside down world true sanity appears as strange and dangerous.
Things are so backwards that it seems impossible to be happy,
that it is seen as dangerous to love,
that it is seen as madness to be honest and authentic.
In this absurd world the only thing that makes any sense
is to be radically authentic to ones self –
even if it is the opposite of society
Excerpt from:
https://artofwonder.org/2018/01/04/the-madman/

The soul has no beginning and it has no end.
It has always been and it will always be.
Sin cannot touch it,
nor virtue exalt it,
and all else is its cover,
​as the lamp over the light.
–Hazrat Inayat Khan

​AFTERNOON

​Bowl of Saki Below

Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan:
The life one recognizes is only the mortal aspect of life.
Very few have ever seen or been conscious
of the immortal aspect at all.
Once one has realized life,
that which one has hitherto called life
is found to be only a glimpse or shadow
of the real life that is
​ beyond comprehension.

Plato wrote that we live in a shadow world,
where we confuse the shadow of ourselves with reality.
This is the Nafs, the false ego,
which stands in the light before God,
causing, so to speak, a spiritual eclipse....
The Nafs turns us from the One to the many,
enticing us with the things of this world.
Then man attaches himself to one thing after another,
which brings, at best, momentary satisfaction.
Through his spiritual practices the Sufi learns to chain the Nafs,
to perceive that it is only a shadow of reality;
and finding the sun of truth within his being,
looking upon it,
one is no longer aware of the shadow.​

Then the Nafs is not destroyed, but harnessed.
The whole of man's being is attuned to God
and everything within him serves God.
This is the work of all on the path of illumination,
of whatever school they may be.
There is no other obstacle than this false self,
and there is no better means of controlling it
than by meditation and
by practicing the presence of God.

   ~~~ "Githa II, Dhyana 2, Meditation", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)

The whole idea of life is to live freely;
to look through space freely,
having nothing to hide or conceal;
allowing the light of truth
to shine from within
and the light of the sun without;
light all around,
no shadow of any kind hindering the light
​which is the soul of every being.

   from  https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIII/XIII_2.htm

You never enjoy the world aright,
till the Sea itself flows in your veins,
till you are clothed with the heavens,
and crowned with the stars:
and perceive yourself to be
the sole heir of the whole world,
and more than so,
because men are in it 
who are every one sole heirs
as well as you. 
​--Thomas Traherne

I have come here
not to teach you
that which you do not know,
but to awaken in you
that which
has always been
​your knowledge. 
–Inayat Khan

Piously we produce our images of you 
till they stand around you like a thousand walls. 
And when our hearts would simply open, 
our fervent hands hide you.
Barrows, Anita.

How we long to become
that which we hardly ever
dared hope we might be.

 How we long to become
that which we have always been.

Despite the feeling of free will,
and the social conventions that revolve around it,
no one, I say, ever chose anything freely.
And no one is to blame for so-called “bad choices” either. 
The deepest wellsprings of thought and action exist beyond our ken
and beyond conscious control.
 I have no idea what word I will type next or where it will come from.

Freedom, I say, does not mean getting to do whatever one wishes.
Nor does freedom have anything to do with so-called “free will,”
which is a fantasy.
 Freedom arises with the understanding
that in each moment what is, is, and cannot be different,
​including whatever “myself” sees, feels, thinks, or does.
