sun falling

sun falling 

on dark and light branches

a black clearing separating

dividing left from right

 poles of the morning green..

these oppositions remind us

that all in each day

even a finely ground mix

has a tree of duality birthmark...

Forgetting

"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:  

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,  60

        Hath had elsewhere its setting,  

          And cometh from afar:  

        Not in entire forgetfulness,  

        And not in utter nakedness,  

But trailing clouds of glory do we come  65

        From God, who is our home:  

Heaven lies about us in our infancy!"

(William Wordsworth,

Intimations of 

Immortality...

BE AWARE OF BEING AWARE (Rupert Spira)

BE AWARE OF BEING AWARE

Everyone is aware but not everyone is aware that they are aware.

Be interested in the experience of ‘Being Aware’ rather than the object or situation that you are aware of.

Having noticed the experience of ‘Being Aware’ or ‘Aware Being’, we may wonder about its nature. 

What is the nature of the Awareness with which we are aware of our experience?

The desire to know the nature of Awareness draws us ever more deeply into the experience of simply ‘Being Aware’ or ‘Awareness Itself’.

In time the desire to know its nature is gradually replaced by the love to simply be knowingly this presence of unlimited Awareness.

This presence shines in each of us as the experience ‘I am’ or ‘I am aware’.

Be aware of being aware.

In this Self-abidance the qualities of peace, happiness and love that are inherent in Aware Being or pure Awareness are gradually revealed.

Hanging in there

Hanging in there

this the greeting of

the man in a truck

a friendly exchange

friendliness surrounding

we might suppose

his daily oppositions

which again we suppose

are multiples growing

of worldly discomforts

 existence particulars..

yet that greeting

hanging in there:

a possible recognition

of separation and duality

awaiting non-dual rising...

Anita and Leigh

Our friend Leigh

keeps us informed

of your recovery

which we pray

is well underway..

not hearing today

we with expectation

await healing's flow..

Leigh blesses all 

her channel overflows

carrying a community's

love and light

 enveloping this hour

Anita's passing storm...

Division

Division

is what we seem to know

and know until discomfort

at last directs a search

and the search finds division

and expectation of finding

comfort within new division..

momentary comfort is born but

fades as a new search begins..

but finally a teaching Arrives

it arrives when not sought..

we now know that our searches

were to locate the searcher

who could not be found

midst the unending divisions

we had filtered and grasped

on those so many pathways

before...
