 UNKNOWING
“The great religions are ships,
Poets, life boats.
Every sane person I know,
Has jumped overboard”
-Hafez​

My mind has lost its will,
To seek knowledge and understanding.
It no longer dreams of resolution,
To a Mystery beyond comprehension.

For after empassioned consideration,
It has concluded, rationally, empirically,
That Unknowing IS the resolution,
Any sane person will come to.​

And from this Pregnant Fact is birthed…
The mind's Surrender,
The Heart having long ago Drowned,
In Love.

I Have Learned so Much
Hafez

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself
A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
a Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even a pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me
Of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.

​AFTERNOON

TO DREAM OR NOT TO DREAM?
JOHN MCINTOSH
​
The expanding Awareness of the Freedom You Are
is Now Present within every aspect of humanity’s experience.
The once cloistered and constricted flow
of the sleeping God-SELF has thrown the curtains open,
breathing in the freshness of possibilities.

Everywhere is the invitation to:
“dream your dream”, “go for your dreams”,
“Imagine and create your dreams”,
“believe – dreams come true”
and many are following this enthusiastic guidance.

Ultimately, when filtered through the lens of Joy,
if these suggestions resonate with you,
then for now … they are for you.​

However, dream-creating is just that …
more dreaming, more sleeping.

The fact that you have shifted from a dream
caught in the hypnotic current of the collective
to a dreamer consciously manifesting dreams
of your own design,
does not lead to Awakening
‘from’ the illusion of the grand dream.
It is simply a different form of play ‘in’ that illusion.

Eventually,
all activity and all practices lead to Self Inquiry
[Who am I?]
with the false self exposed and sinking back
into Pure Conscious Awareness
[the ONE-SELF]
from which it sprang.

That is the moment where all dreams
[child’s toys]
may be put away
[if you choose]
and only that which is timeless and boundless
is embraced.

As you start to walk out on the way,
the way appears.
As you cease to be,
true life begins.
As you grow smaller, 
this world cannot contain you.
You will be shown a being
that has no "you" in it.
-Rumi,
Tr. C. Barks "A Year with Rumi"
