As is the human body,
So is the cosmic body. As is the human mind,
So is the cosmic mind. As is the microcosm,
So is the macrocosm. As is the atom,
So is the universe.

Thought of Thursday, August 6, 2015
Why is it so difficult for humans to live together?
Because they do not show one another enough attention or respect.
Collective life as practiced in a spiritual brotherhood is also a wonderful opportunity for its members to evolve and expand their consciousness.
Those who lead a solitary life can be selfish and temperamental.
There is no one standing next to them,
no one for whom they must try to watch and improve their behaviour.
But as soon as they begin to have anything to do with other people,
what an effort – and it’s so hard!
When people are aware that they belong to a whole that is much greater than themselves and are careful not to allow their actions, thoughts and feelings
– their internal noise –
to disturb the harmony, it shows that they are evolved.
You will say, ‘What do you mean by their internal noise?’
Yes, all noise is the result of a dissonance, and the internal noise that humans make with their feelings, torments and rebellions disturbs the psychic atmosphere.
Those who make a noise are unaware that they are also harming themselves,
for one day this noise will take the form of psychological or even physical problems. »

.....identities refuse to be lost.
There is a name and
number for everyone.
There is a definite place for bodies, there are pigeon holes for ashes:
Such security can business buy!
Who would dare to go nameless in so secure a universe?
Yet, to tell the truth, only the nameless are at home in it.
They bear with them in the center of nowhere
the unborn flower of nothing:
This is the paradise tree.
It must remain unseen
until words end and arguments are silent.

Denial is a finger of blame pointing toward another.
Conflict is an expectation imposed onto another.
Frustration is the inability to control the will of another.
Sadness is a dependency on another.
Loneliness is waiting for another to arrive.
Solitude is freedom from needing another.
Harmony is embracing the uniqueness of another.
Grace is seeing there is no other.
Enlightenment is when the subjects of one and another disappear.
Love is what remains throughout it all.
“When the heart opens completely,
you will stumble upon the most powerful force in the Universe –
your loving eternal presence.”
~ Matt Kahn

We just did that earlier with Ocean (seemingly outer repetitive irritants) and what a difference…
More than we could ever have imagined Happened in Celebration/Honour of Real Life.
Truly beyond words/thoughts and the telling.
Only Life Lived can Be The Telling.
There is no “I” in all of this…
..so cannot say ‘I am not the same’ or I am “not”.
…..but can BE

THE FALL
Thomas Merton
There is no where in you a paradise that is no place and there
You do not enter except without a story.
To enter there is to become unnameable.
Whoever is there is homeless for he has no door and
no identity with which to go out and to come in.
Whoever is nowhere is nobody, and therefore cannot
exist except as unborn:
No disguise will avail him anything
Such a one is neither lost nor found. But he who has an address is lost.
They fall, they fall into apartments and are securely established!
They find themselves in streets. They are licensed
To proceed from place to place
They now know their own names
They can name several friends and know
Their own telephones must some time ring.
If all telephones ring at once, if all names are shouted
at once and all cars crash at one crossing:
If all cities explode and fly away in dust
Yet identities refuse to be lost. There is a name and
number for everyone.
There is a definite place for bodies, there are pigeon holes for ashes:
Such security can business buy!
Who would dare to go nameless in so secure a universe?
Yet, to tell the truth, only the nameless are at home in it.
They bear with them in the center of nowhere
