There are no others..

There are no others..

This expression of Truth
Is often acknowledged with a
Base of reference in 
Conditioned separation..
We notice the very rapid
Changes of things..brought to us
By sciences's advances..and so
The Truth is shaded by our 
Assent..but we are deceived..
Deceived until we are jolted
That Truth is absolute..per
There are no others...






At some point when you hear the phrase: "There 'are' no others,"
It will shift beyond a simple intellectual concept that you may
accept on some level...to an absolute "knowing."  In that moment
you will realize beyond any doubt that these dramatic events and
those that act them out "are" YOU, and that they are shining Light
on your own "stuff."
~~John McIntosh, The Rising Tide of Light

Stillness

Today I’m flying low and I’m
not saying a word.
I’m letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.
The world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
And so forth.
But I’m taking the day off.
Quiet as a feather.
I hardly move though really I’m traveling
a terrific distance.
Stillness. One of the doors
into the temple.
~ Oliver, Mary (A Thousand Mornings)

Steps

Steps

This someone 

Let's call him Remember

Asserts a plan for the day

And walks to do his plan..

Remember apparently walks
On this cloudy morning

Ignoring a Remembering

Which could recompose

Her walk into Steps of

Abundant Joy..

We can hope that

One clear morning

Remember will 

Remember...!

Every time you concern yourself with the ‘separate self’ you reassert the ‘separate self'.
~Rupert Spira

THE BELL AND THE BLACKBOARD. David Whyte

THE BELL AND THE BLACKBOARD


The sound
of a bell
still reverberating,

or a blackbird
calling
from a corner
of the
field.

Asking you
to wake
into this life
or inviting you
deeper
to one that waits.

Either way
takes courage,
either way wants you
to be nothing
but that self that
is no self at all,
wants you to walk
to the place
where you find
you already know
how to give
every last thing
away.

The approach
that is also
the meeting
itself,
without any
meeting
at all.

That radiance
you have always
carried with you
as you walk
both alone
and completely
accompanied
in friendship
by every corner
of the world
crying
Allelujah.

~~David Whyte

SILENCE

SILENCE

From SILENCE
We emerge
And find a world
Of dual things..
All separated with
Clarity..and so there is
A tacit agreement 
That this clarity 
Is where we are and
Have always been..

That is..until the
Polarities in life
Are sighted..suggesting
A relational clarity
Bringing satisfaction
Now and then
Until it doesn't..

Our search continues
To find a Wholeness
Of enduring value..
To rid ourself of that
Frag feeling which
Lurks to suck us in..

Then to discover
A direct path..with a
A bypassing of
All of the trip wires
Which tripped us before..
And recognizing our
SILENCE once more
As our Wholeness 
We have ever sought... 

Survival

Survival

Apparently
Most of us on earth 
Engage each day
To just survive
For one more day..
Fear and desire dictate
A form of bondage
For most..who must
By wit and courage
Play roles which give
Credence to a reality
Of many things..while
Ignoring each her own 
Veiled Reality..
A heavy price by
Rich or poor..
Apparently Freedom
Awaits for now
Behind the veil...

Breaking News..?

Breaking News..?

In our dreamtime
We receive a gift
Which when seen
As a gift
There is immense 
Reward..
Next morning we
Can and usually ignore:
Realizing the unreality
Of the dreamtime 
Having just passed..
However..
The gift may be a glimpse
Of Wholeness separating
Within Itself and making
Of Itself appearances
Of convincing stature..
Breaking News...?









A dreamer dreams a dream. He sees the dream world with pleasures, pains. etc. But he wakes up and then loses all interest in the dream world. So it is with the waking world also. Just as the dream-world, being only a part of yourself and not different from you, ceases to interest you, so also the present world would cease to interest you if you awake from this waking dream (samsara) and realise that it is a part of your Self, and not an objective reality.
Because you think that you are apart from the objects around you, you desire a thing. But if you understand that the thing was only a thought-form you would no longer desire it.
All things are like bubbles on water. You are the water and the objects are the bubbles. They cannot exist apart from the water, but they are not quite the same as the water.
~~Ramana Maharshi
