*This is love:
to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First to let go of life.
Finally, to take a step without feet.

The wise man knows the Self,
And he plays the game of life.
But the fool lives in the world
Like a beast of burden.

Even in that exalted state
Which Indra and all the gods
Unhappily long for.

He understands the nature of things.
His heart is not smudged
By right or wrong,
As the sky is not smudged by smoke.

He is pure of heart,
He knows the whole world is only the Self.
So who can stop him
From doing as he wishes?

From Brahma to a blade of grass,
Only the wise man is strong enough
To give up desire and aversion.

How rare he is!
Knowing he is the Self,
He acts accordingly
And is never fearful.
For he knows he is the Self,
One without two,
The Lord of all creation.

AFTERNOON
Rhythm of Sadness...
A deep rhythm of sadness
arises from within...
unexpectedly,
spontaneously,
inexplicably.

It rises even though
I "know"

"I" am Eternal Beingness.

It will not be held back

felt not seen...

It is all just held in Its Awareness...

Sadness is not something you need to fix,
cure, or transform. It need not be healed but held.
You need not shift sadness into some "higher" state or
apply teachings so that it will yield into something else.
For it is complete and pure on its own.

For it is complete and pure on its own.
With the fire of awareness and the ally of your breath,
touch your heart...
Go on a journey into the core of the feeling, the sensation,
images and the raw, shaky life that is longing to be held.
And listen.

And listen.
It is by way of this journey that sadness will be revealed to
be what it is, a bridge into the the universal heart, a messenger
of power, mercy, and fierce compassion...

MAJOR MILESTONE
post sunrise…
just as we Return…
but it had been Developing since OES this morning
SPARKED and Illuniated (signifcan ‘typo’*) Illuminated
since early this morning and yesterday’s Listening to
utube Ancient Healing….!!

Saturations with The Heart of Awareness for OceanSpeak
ASHTAVAKRA GITA BY THOMAN BYROM
Rosie’s “hole in the soul” a clue too
Hole within is nothingmore or less than Akasha Tao Original CORE
that we have tried to fill with everything BUT SILENCE
THAT CORE IS SILENCE, ORIGINAL SILENCE, AND ONLY THAT SILENCE
SUFFICETH FOR AN ORIGINAL ONE…
WE GO THRU TONS,
( ….SINCE PLANET ENTRY AS AN ORIGINAL REALIZED ONE….)
TO BE SURE THERE IS IMPERSONAL COMPASSION FOR ALL
AND THEN ONE FINE DAY…THE ETERNAL ONE MOMENT TAKES OVER
WITH TRUTH OF BEING…
IE SILENCE
“ONE WITHOUT TWO” (Ashtavakra…#4 last stanza)
AND NOW FOR FIRST TIME EVER SILENCE IS NATURAL…
NOT A GIMMICK TRYING TO GET SOME CHANGE TO HAPPEN
ALL CHATTER AND NOISE IS NOW THE UNNATURAL INTRUDER
(as it always has been, but could never seem to Disappear into that SILENCE
we knew in womb during “labor” when they gave Ma ether and she told me that felt just like DEATH)

I have returned from beach a DIFFERENT person…meaning the shreds and veils of “protection” that were necessary until NOW……HAVE POOFED.
Was not even chattery or upset or inner muttering distress...
when we could NOT find camera and running quite “late” for sunrise….
this isonly one example of this
PEACE THAT PASSETH EARTHLY UNDERSTANDING….
my chattering had been terrible these last few days…
could NOT stop that no matter how we tried
SEE THIS NOW as “chatter’s last struggle to stay alive”
or maybe jut an intensity like the horrors of one’s last drink or drug
before PURE GRACE shifts the GEARS OF ONE’S LIFE
What a difference!
Was, out of habit going to write at least 2 soul friends re: all of this and suddenly that Inner Soul Smile just Smiled thru me, a gentle Reminding of how Unnecessary chatter and words are in order to tell another. Normal missionary tactics/days/daze are OVER NOW…

....so gentle so Wonder-Full without need for talk
or “proof of Truth of Being” for others,
and not even self or Self…or selves!!!
ALL IS ONLY THE ETERNAL NOW….
no wonder we took to Rip van Winkle and Snow White…as a child and throughout this life.
They “died” to old reality.

The Heart of Awareness
A Translation of the

Chapter 4
The True Seeker
1
The wise man knows the Self,
And he plays the game of life.
But the fool lives in the world
Like a beast of burden.
2
The true seeker feels no elation
Even in that exalted state
Which Indra and all the gods
Unhappily long for.
3
He understands the nature of things.
His heart is not smudged
By right or wrong,
As the sky is not smudged by smoke.
4
He is pure of heart,
He knows the whole world is only the Self.
So who can stop him
From doing as he wishes?
5
Of the four kinds of being,
From Brahma to a blade of grass,
Only the wise man is strong enough
To give up desire and aversion.
6
How rare he is!
Knowing he is the Self,

And is never fearful.
