No-thing



No~thing
And
Every~thing..
No~ and Every~..
No~ vibrates
Shaping No~
Appearing 
As Every~..
This is
All we know or
Need to know..
Yet..we fear
No~thing
Not knowing...

Our Sacred Nature



"The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong. It is part of our own self and we are a part of its suffering wholeness. Until we go to the root of our image of separateness, there can be no healing. And the deepest part of our separateness from creation lies in our forgetfulness of its sacred nature, which is also our own sacred nature."

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Now



Now

This is not a
Sliver of time..
But the Field
Containing all time
(And space..by the way)
You and I
Are this Field
This Now
Which is waiting
For our Recognition..
For when Recognized
All absences and departs
Paint our Now with
Memories now made of
Now...

Who knows..?
























Who knows..?

An urgent question
Very seldom asked..
An assumption hides
That my concise self
Knows and stores what
There is to know..
Thus life proceeds thru
Roil and calm
Until we Recognize 
Who Knows...





LEARNED IGNORANCE
John McIntosh
Who is it that learns … acquires knowledge, facts, data, information? Most would say: “I do”, or “My mind/brain takes it in and stores it.” This information is ‘historical’, even if its only a few moments old. It is based on what has come from ‘other’ minds, whether it has just been spoken or passed through the archives of books, or recordings. Even if some of it originated from ‘intuitive’ flashes, the moment it is written down or saved to some other device, it is diminished by words and images no matter how grand or beautiful it may seem. This is due to the layered filter of each one’s unique conditioning, which dilutes and colors what is offered and what is learned from what is shared.
The concept of unconditional Love is often spoken of but not only is ‘all’ Love conditioned while you slumber in the dream of a separated identity [all Love] but everything is ‘conditioned’ [including all so-called learning] … unless you are Free [You Know Who You Really Are], which means All conditioning has dissolved along with the one you have called ‘me’. When this has occurred, you are ‘empty’ and if you ‘do’ require knowledge for any purpose, it is instantly available … pure, untainted and unconditioned.
“Until you ‘know’ Who You Are, your knowledge is ‘learned ignorance’.” – Ramana

Projection



in progress




The Daily Quote from Rupert Spira, 27th September 2019

The projection of an object, other or world ‘outside’ is the natural and inevitable counterpart to the contraction of a self ‘inside’. In the absence of this division of experience, there is just the indivisible, unnameable intimacy of experience.

Finding Clarity



Finding Clarity

Clarity seems
 to be missing in the
Clutter of inner traffic..
The clutter loudly insists
When we strive to
Escape or remove..

Somehow 
the need arises to
Recognize Clarity as foremost
Lurking behind all clutter
And allowing the clutter to
Dance its short dance on
Clarity's bright stage...

History



History

The 1619 Project 
Changes history's focus
Beginning 400 years ago
When a few slaves arrived..
Some are fearful
Of a subversion of
Our national narrative..
Yet is this a crack
Which may open
A floodgate
Showing  immense
Variations of stories
Originating in our
