Infinite Awareness

To discount the world as unreal yet claim yourself as real - Ah what a painful trap!

Neither is real, and so this is to be seen. Both are tiny reflections on a jewel and the person covets their reflection like it were the whole of reality.

This being done, this doer, this place and these things are a small private world shared only in that there are others here who have a similar view. These are transient worlds, they are born, do nothing but change, and then extinguish.

What is present and unchanging through the infinite small words coming and going?

At death I said...

I had a dream, in the dream, I was not free,

I had a dream, but that dream, was not me.

Now I come to see, the whole of reality,

Now I can see this is all that can be.

Ride

Don't take the road to Nirvana without realizing that the road is Nirvana.

Duality

There is nothing wrong with duality as long as both sides are seen as complementary and not strived for apart.

So then where do Good and Bad resolve?

The true good is the balance.

some like to be blind, they like the chase

Guru: "Here is a metaphor for the answer to life"

Seeker "Where can I find this metaphor? I must seek and see it with my own eyes, I must touch this metaphor and know it is real"

Guru (cries softly to herself) "Hmm. Ok, if you must, then walk west until you find yourself"

Seeker [walks west]

Guru [sits]

Seeker [after travelling west for so long returns to the start point]

Guru "So, have you found yourself?"

Seeker "I thought I saw the metaphor many times. I once saw a tree that was shaped in such a way as that I thought of the great metaphor and so I cut it down and made a shrine to its stump and a necklace from its fruits"

Guru "... "

Goldfish memory / Human life

"Oh, that was a nice life... .. Oh, that was a nice life... .."

Ms Smith

J. Smith is simply a suit I am wearing and not I who lives in and through it.

So who is I?

Infinite. Deathless.

Now

There are only 3 things that spoil perfection:

Memories,

Plans

Concepts

life's pains.

Why do I see pain and suffering?

Because you seek pleasure.

Not seeking,

Not found.

Saturday 21 August 2010

If you lost it all?

Would this scare you or liberate?

The answer to that answers the question of "Am I liberated?" as if you can see that in losing everything, you'd have lost nothing and that you have never had anything, you are everything, then liberation is yours.

What is your favourite colour?

No colour, as from this there is the possibility of all colour. If my favourite colour was blue, then everything was blue, it may as well be grey, how dull. Magic is that there is so much colour and variation is the music.

What is your favourite mood, should we strive to be happy always? You'd guess so but let's look at colour.

Further, there is no mood or colour in the self and so no one to suffer sadness or welcome happiness. When we have an absence of all distinctions, when we have said I am not this, not this, not that aspect, not that thought, not this thinker, not this .....

When we have extinguished all, I am not that, this, that, this, then we are just ".."

Held here, not conceptualized, is the state of states. The canvas for which colour shall bedazzle.

I's dream

I is living the dream.

I is the dream.

I am living my dream.

I is the dream living.

it is

What is it you think you have lost that you need to seek for?

What is this incompleteness that needs completing?

Is not every moment perfect?

As is, no matter what you do, it is.

100 years he asked

He said:

I will set my clock to wake me in 100 years time. I will meditate so deeply that I will not take food, no water and barely one breath. As my body is so still I will age less than one day in all of this time.

The world around me and my clock will go for 100 years of motion and during this time I will do not one thing but meditate on this one question: "Who is meditating?" - When my clock calls me round I will announce my first words for 100 years and they shall be the answer to this one question.

After 100 years he said:

No one is meditating! In 100 years I have meditated and dedicated myself to this quest, I have delved I have persisted, and I have found, for sure, that no one is meditating. I must conclude with my fresh and un-aged mind that: If no one was meditating, then there was no meditation and that - this is one.

Truth in a book?

Truth can only exist in a book as truth exists previous to the book and the writing.

How then, can the book contain truth?

Sunday 15 August 2010

Here

Now. Awakened. And every moment, every action, every act, every sight of the eye, sound of the ear, sense of the heart, is only the truth.

Then you need no time, no place to be or go, nothing to seek and nothing missing.

The man at prayer, the woman singing praise, are not wrong in your eyes but as filled with truth as the moo of a cow and the wind in the trees, no more or less.

The grass under your feet is a great as the space above your head and both contain each other as the universe contains itself and you are all things.

Breathing, you are dead. Living you decay. As dust you feed life. As new life you return to life.

As Light enters the eye

When I have perfect wisdom then all shall be released.

I can not achieve this any other time than now,

Therefore all beings are perfectly awake,

and I have perfect clarity.

padme

We each step back from the infinite fractal of which we are one. And from each stance we naturally have a unique perspective. Some people have it all worked out, some have no idea, many see it in similar ways, many in complete contradiction.

And so it is, infinite, and one.

So when we read the words of another, one who has all the answers, we must remember, great or not, they offer only a perspective. No matter how true these words are to one, they will only ever point partially for another.

Each truth is unique, ultimately, beyond the words though, they are the same.

tao

You know what was there? Right in the heart, right at the root, right there where it all began, that which envelops the infinite..

The answer: Something indefinable with words, incalculable, unimaginable, un-sayable.

It was the truth, and in meeting it: all further chatter, all attempts at definition, all mind-games that say this and that - were permanently, extinguished.

It was simple, it came before words.

Wednesday 11 August 2010

no, this way, come on..

Perhaps one of the nastiest snags on the path is to feel you "have it".

Then these people go about attempting to push their ideas on others.

Or sniggering at how wrong everyone else is.

experience

It is not the experience, not that experienced, that should be liked or disliked, but being the experiencer, being the ability to experience, that should be relished, as this has no dual resolution, only bliss.

Firm base

The tortoise draws in his head when things become too much.

To keep life in check draw back to your root frequently.

Live there mostly.

At the root, not hidden

I realized

Someone said

"I just realized.."

and I said..

"'I'" ... "was always realized"

The Infinite Master

Your greatest master has the most to give and is immortal.

You are never free from that master. You do nothing alone.

This master will live on, and is held in your true heart.

God has to die for final truth

Why isn't God able to clear doubts and give Enlightenment to all?

God is an idea. Holding an idea, you are split.

You must eventually kill your Guru or God and take the final plunge alone. Only then can you realise the absolute.

Thursday 5 August 2010

Centered

If I spend today and it be my last. I die in bliss.

If I am here tomorrow I remain in bliss.

If I am here for 100 years they will be in bliss.

If I move location, I will remain here, in bliss.

look after you you me

All stems from within and the without is nothing but the projection.

Many people work to paint, feed and decorate the body, nourish it and supply it with answers to its cravings.

While the within is the root and the only, the local shell is a waste of paint. The root has no need for your efforts, work on the body is wasted. While the out-there dream is only a projection, that is where good will should be placed.

Not looking after your vehicle, but helping others; as helping others is true self help with real benefit.

~

There is no 'yourself', so work here is wasted, the world is your-self and work here is true action, of the whole, for the whole, not wasted on ego.

Ideas

I = Ego

Dear = Something held by the ego.

All you have are Ideas.

centripetal

In the place were a very gregarious guy, a fun and flirtatious girl, a young quiet boy and a new guy. 

As the outgoing couple got on with their tasks and chatted and played, the young boy and the new guy were much quieter.

Later the young boy asked the quiet guy how he could adapt himself to be outgoing like the cool couple.

The new quiet man said: Under these masks they have much complexity but under all four of us is pure emptiness.

That emptiness would scare them and so they project a façade. Much better to be true and empty.
