Tree of duality

Tree of duality

Expelled!

from their Field

this explosion of 

creation..

When they ate

the Other arose

in Consciousness

no..as Consciousness

but seeming as separate..

Thus from this tree

our illusory separation

awaits our Awareness

 simultaneous forgiveness

as we experience

this Big Picture...

Hi Charlie,

We were discussing the meaning  of "the good news of the gospels" yesterday and I had a flash.

What if the theology of original sin was not so related to Adam  and Eve's disobedience of the command not to eat of the tree of Good and Evil, but that eating that fruit resulted in being thrust from union and wholeness with God to the dualistic world of good and evil, which we are still suffering from.  And then when various spiritual teachers come to teach non-dualism they are truly "saving" us from that curse?

Hmmm (from my friend, Thelma)

Suffering as other words

Suffering as other words

witnesses movement between its poles..

The upper dimension beacons and

the lower dimension holds back

not knowing the beaconing of

that upper dimension which

is simply grace calling for

transformation of this

particular word...

oppositions

 oppositions

are beginnings

and perhaps

not even needed

when we realize

our true being

 Awareness

is our witness..

but a witness is

not needed when

we realize that

witness must have

what is witnessed

another opposition..

Our true being

will then be

realized more

directly not

needing aid of

oppositions...

A lesson of golfing

A lesson of golfing

First step into the field

then realize

the step is 

made of the field..

And not just the step

but the body mind and

all else..

Once in the field

all is perceived in

intimate proximity..

Quantum territory

without the territory..

Experiencing thus

the real Self:

I am...

Tempo

Tempo

This oft used word

in golf and sport

may it mean

a removal from the

shackles of time..

A confidence born

of relaxed stillness

bringing an alertness

and real timing

that is razor sharp...

With gratitude I remember him

With gratitude I remember him

 his happiness and energy..

And appropriately the place

his gracing the first row

as he and all of us

were there to celebrate

your outreach for discovery

of the spirited beauty

splendored and hidden

in Trees..

So my association and memory

brief though it was

has eternal markings

of roots and branches

and words 

which I hope

in your grief

this joy you find...

for Teryl on the passing

of her brother...

Mary and Martha

Mary and Martha

Mary sleeps soundly

and a dream arises..

Mary resides in Denver

 dreams she is Martha

walking on Tejon Street

in Colorado Springs..

Mary's infinite Mind

 found in deep sleep

seems now split

into the mind of Martha

and Martha's enjoyment of

Acacia Park and stores

restaurants and streets..

Mary's sleep veiled

her infinite Being

to become Martha

enjoying the sights

in Colorado Springs..

But Martha's joys

turn out to be

temporary as she

finds a parking ticket

dashing her pleasures..

And she soon wishes 

to find again 

the happiness she

seemed so recently

to know..

Martha's experience

like our own

is to discover

sooner or later

the truth surprise:

 Mary is Martha...
