There is but one ocean One infinite sky One vast presence One infinite reality Whichever way you turn It turns Whichever way you go It goes Whichever way you trend It trends And yet it is beyond going Beyond turning Beyond returning beyond trending So are you The one and only So are you Beyond…
NO NEED TO DEFINE YOURSELF Why do you limit yourself with an identity while you already are not limited? Why do you define yourself while you are not defined? What is this label that you envelop yourself in for? You weave an artificial bubble around yourself and then your vision is obscured. What…
Disillusion with being a good person
DISILLUSION WITH BEING A GOOD PERSON Friend: After many years of service and devotion, trying to be a good person, I have come to realize that this does not work and that it is no the highest path. Can you say more about that? Reply: Being a good person is an image that arises to you. This image is…
Before being a man, a woman, I AM
Before being a man or a woman, I AM. Before being a father or mother, I AM. Before being any thing, I AM. I AM is undefined and non descript. Yet, nothing can be without I AM. Like gold takes the form of a necklace, ring or bracelet, the I AM, while remaining infinite, eternal and formless aware…
In your contemplation, it becomes important to notice the me feeling, the unhappiness that arises and is expressed in the body, the internal bodily contractions that refer to a separate me. Releasing them into the transparency of being, into the spacious borderlessness of awareness is a relaxation…
Beware of the imagined future It is thought Concern and hope Imagined me in time and space Thought/image But not really truth. Thought reverberating throughout the innocence of being That is complete freedom From the impression of past and future. Why diminish this wonder? This formless wonder of…
The path to God is an ever deepening falling into love, into presence, infinite surrender and dying to the past. In such death is revealed the pure light of being-awareness. In the absence of the universal light of being, nothing is illumined. Self recognition is the recognition of this vast…
Dictatorship and democracy belong at the mind level. As long as you remain at the mind level, you remain at the mind level . swinging between the illusory and unhappy impressions of good and bad. Why play good and bad when you can be happy celebrating the innate freedom and bliss of the Self? Of…
The True dreamer of all dreams
The dreamer of particular dreams is dreaming dream-perceptions (imagining them to be real) unaware he is dreaming. He does not know that he is dreaming since he is not aware that he is being dreamt! Only the ultimate dreamer (universal consciousness) knows it is dreaming all dreams. Out of its…
Knowing is beyond the now. It shines onto the now while being completely free of time and space and is not limited to a 'now'. How could the unexplainable, THAT that is beyond the mind, THAT that is all knowing, be understood via a now or via any means? Beware to confuse the now for reality. The…
You already are the openness of being. Nothing truly robs you of the reality of consciousness that you are. All seeking is at the mind level and can only deliver mind stuff. And yet behind it all, there is love. a deep yearning to be reunited with the beloved. The beloved that you have never left,…
What is perceived refers to the perceiving
What is perceived refers to the perceiving and not to the perceived, for the perceived is an ever shifting target, an ever metamorphosing impression, a set of changing definitions. that points to beyond its form. It is the knowingness/perceiving, which is not a thing, which is not a definable form…
I am always experiencing myself and never stop experiencing myself. I am myself as myself. I never cease being myself as I AM myself. I look at you and experience myself. It is always so I have never been otherwise. Myself. Not a knowable. Not a known form object. Not a mortal body mind.…
As we continue to contemplate our unity and wholeness, the old patterns of ignorance, the negative emotions stored in the body mind may arise in full force. As long as you do not personalize them further, they arise only to dissolve and release out of the body mind structure. The tank is being…
Turn your attention to the looking rather than to the looked
To notice the openness and borderlessness of Being, we need to turn our attention to the looking rather than to the looked. If you look at the looked, then you need to trace the looked back. Back to the looking. It is in tracing the looking back to itself that the openness of being is revealed to…
The higher perspective of consciousness
From the higher perspective, from the perspective of universal consciousness, all is well and unfolding at it should (as Robert Adams used to say). The wisdom of consciousness sheds its light onto the mind reminding it of the path of love and surrender. Reminding it of the causeless peace, joy and…
All latent sense of angst are bodily sensations arising as clouds in the vastness of being. The space is infinite and does not contract around whatever arises in it. There is no real danger as the eternal is beyond the changing rhythms of the mind. Everything appears in the vastness whereby God's…
There is way of being with what is unfolding, a way that is open and free, a way that does not contract in a shell, a way that does not maintain the fear, the old habits of argumentation. Yes, there is. and it is for each one of us to look into this, to explore and find this placeless place that is…
About 'thought being a bitch'. inspired by a friend's post: ~~~ Thoughts are like images appearing 'out of' as well as 'on the' screen, are not a bitch from the screen's point of view. A thought is a bitch only from another thought's point of view. 'Distance' between thought and awareness is not…
The jnani does not perceive personal attacks and is not touched by criticism or debasing statements. He is rather somewhat curious about them, but not too curious. He recognizes ignorance without being part of it. When stones are thrown at him, he ducks and avoids them without engaging in combat.…
Finding fault with the oneself or another created an illusory division in the seamless and borderless open space of being. The mind becomes charged with a sense of separate me and with the angst of judgment. Finding fault with the other maintains the me and you duality and maintains the contraction…
The impression of separation is a contraction of the open space of being. The limitation of identification with mortality, with the mortal body mind creates a contraction in the open space of being. It diminishes our experience from infinite joyful openness to the restrictive me-feeling. Our true…
