Intense being

 

Free from I am. Is not dead, but burning intense life!

mind makes body

The mind is nothing without memory. Memories though are imperfect. The mind relies on the imperfect and unreal to formulate a now to which it likes or dislikes.

The mind in this way forms a body, a world and a person!

It forms others. We all share this mind-dream of a world people-ing when in truth this manifestation is built from false memories of past and future. This now is an idea.

guru of imperfection

The highest guru lives within. All other gurus are compared to this inner guru and in time the inner guru realizes its perfection.

So there is room for the imperfect guru. Room for all imperfection, all error, all the trials that may come your way - they are all encouraging the inner guru to realize its perfection.

still moves

It does not matter if this body travels or moves.

I am still.

mind gone

To lose your mind is a true gift!

As long as it is not replaced by another one.

mind peace

When you recognise inner peace, that is just the mind recognising peace. This is why it is seen as pleasant and why it can come and go.

Yet this is still a very valid state.

It shows the mind a better way and reminds us of the ultimate state; one that without, there would be facility to recognise or even be.

Realitime

How much more real is now, as compared to one hour from now?

And for the past hour?

Do we agree that now is vastly more real than any other time, past or future?

This is it.

Making Jupiter spin

Right now you are making Jupiter spin, just as you are running fast over a desert in the body of an animal and just as you are making your hair grow on that head there.

Yet your concern is of how to be happy tomorrow. When now is so magical.

Not even I

Not the body I but the universal I. No concern for the actions of the body and instead in full control of the universe! What burden!

In this position you see that this is also false, how can you be all and in control of all? A split exists. So you compassionately say that the best way to rule is to leave well alone, the best way to do is to let be. And you melt back to perfection.

Half circle

All of your life, north was north and the compass pointed north.

One day, all that you ever thought you knew was turned inside out and the compass pointed south. The way you saw things, the way you saw others, the idea of self, was flipped with such a jerk, 180degrees, that you knew you had to investigate.

As you investigated this new perspective, the old north was ever increasing in magnetism to pull you back. All who you spoke to pointed north, but all of the new ideas you had, the books you were drawn to, pointed south.

I am here to tell you to look only from the center, look north, south, east and west. Know north and south, the world view and the spiritual view, in balance.

False hierarchies

The most advanced alien life, say a dolphin, lion, garden shrub, bacteria, fly, rat; all are actually as well advanced as every other. Only the human, feeling advanced with its tools, is in folly due to the wish to explain itself, where every other just is.

Oneness

Nothing exists "of itself" but only in relation to everything other than itself.

Yet they are one. Impossible, to correctly conceive, alone.

Key rules when you decide to be human

You are essential. You exist in your role, because you are part of the whole;

And so exist forever.


Reality exists for precisely as long as you are human; as time is only made by you then;

So you were un-"born" for no "time" and will be "dead" for no "time".


Knowing you are witness to that entire process, and the reason for it, is mind-blowing.

But then as you are it, and it is you, so there is no mind to blow.

Monk speaks on time

Monk. “There is only now, the past and present can only be thought about in the now and don’t exist by themselves.”


Master. “You see this how?”


Monk. “I see that past and present only have a relative, mentally constructed, reality built from the ‘Now’ and that is all there is…”


Master. “Quiet you fool. Your “Now” only has a ‘relative, mentally constructed, reality’ to your definition of past and present; so exists not for I. I know no past or present because I know no now, I am. Remember who “You” are? You referred to yourself as “I” but I see you were not speaking from the true ‘I perspective’, but from yours as a dumb ‘I the separate independent entity’; seeing not that there is, and can be, no separate entities; or that there is no such “independent thing” anywhere, anyhow; equally like your ideas of “past, future and now” do not exist! How can you waste your “time” to seek to ask who that unreal, “mentally constructed I,” is? Don’t forget that the I that you seek is unknown to you yet, don’t waste time on that you think that you know. That poor dumb I you are seeking to force into your own concepts of, what must be, a false idea of enlightenment also, is the wrong way down the wrong path, useful to you only as I will now tell you this... To see the real I you will have no interest in your ‘mental constructs’. All you have to do is; stop asking questions, ever again!, There is nothing but that which is, and it can be no other way and that is final.

Never mention your stupid ideas of “past and future, or Now”, again.

Bring me tea at 5. Leave me Now.”

Monk asks Master

Monk to Master…

Q. Who am I?


Master…

A. There’s only one of us here!

The one you are is that which is.

As is the Reader.


Q. Where am I?

A. I will refer to the I you still think you are and not that I whom I just told you you were; as if you had grasped my last answer you would not have asked this.

Tell me, are your lungs part of you?


Monk. Of course.


Master. Then may I ask you what you would rather I took away from you; your lungs or all the air?


Monk. I cannot separate them, now I realise master!


Master. No, not yet, listen, you are right in that at least, yet further still; The whole universe; remove or change any element and you will cease to be able to ask me questions. While your lungs seem in fact to reach the extremes of our atmosphere, your true ‘I body’ is the entire universe and is ‘that which is’. That which is outside of all your reason, before space and time and breath and lungs and Where and who am I questions.


Q. Then what is the truth?


A. As that becomes clear you will laugh at how you could ever utter such a question. When it is known, then question and answer will be nothing but lines in a whimsical tale of the monk who realised not. As the truth becomes clear the question and answer are both clearly irrelevant, uninteresting asides to spontaneous living, and I’m going for sandwich.

Clouds of thoughts

You are not calming the mind to gain the kind of mind capable of knowing the true self. You are calming the mind so that you can see through it and beyond.

We are not saying to calm the clouds so that with a perfectly calm cloud, you may emulate the sky. We are saying to calm the clouds to witness the sky.

Filtered light

It is as if the pure light of being enters the mind and becomes so refracted by memory, wishes, habit and other distortions, that the result for many, is just a dull body.

Convinced you are the unreal

No one is apart from absolute perfection. They just become better and better at convincing themselves that they are not (absolute perfection)!

Experience now

Are you experiencing pleasure or pain right now? There is likely a mixture. There may be pleasure in taking time to relax but there may be some pain in the mind or in the body, really there are endless possibilities and all resulting in some mixture of these emotions.

Take a moment though to ask yourself what it is that rests behind both of these complementary poles. Both are experience, right now, both are being and both require awareness.

You may have memories of pain and pleasure, you may crave pleasure or wish to avoid future pain. When you have found a level existing behind both poles though, you are content with the experience of now as you know that all other experience, past or future is only the same.

Seeking the seeker

Get on a train and don't get off until you have arrived where you are.

The last gain is nothing

Nothing is gained in awakening. You have nothing to hold. You're gone.

In having nothing, you have it all. You recognise your true self as the root, as me. As I.

Nothing is loved, All is love.

Nothing is there, the potential for infinity.

A universe contained in potential void.

One I in iiiiiiiiiii's

At root, the self. Manifested as a trillion forms.

All forms are the self. Associating with the unreal.

Awakening is to see both the true I and the i-ego. Then become so sure that i-ego is a construct that it vanishes, leaving you only as the one I.

This could prove a shock.

Pride

Pride is a flaw not a quality.

War

Embrace war and evil.

Sounds odd, yet to embrace them will aid in their removal. If you oppose them, you enforce them. Take them on board, consider them. It was someone who was against something who brought about war. So only those who embrace all can put an end to it.

How you look

I carve a disc from stone, later I decide to carve out the middle so I now have a ring shape.

Have I added to it or removed from it? I have added form, added space, added surface, removed stone, removed form.

The hole is made of stone and is made of space. The hole contains no stone and the stone ring contains space.

Good and Bad

Stone is carved into two shapes. One is beautiful to you, one ugly. There also remains some uncarved stone for the Taoist to appreciate.

So people have chosen the ones they like and decided if they do not like others.

All are made of stone.

Truth is no matter how it is defined

A group of six were asked to all describe truth.

The science minded gave a great and well defined version of truth.

The religious minded gave a wonderful painting of truth.

Another science person spoke of a valid and convincing organic viewpoint.

A different spiritual person wowed the group with words on peace.

A child in the group gave a lovely simple version of truth.

Although all of these versions of truth were spoken, and everyone found wonder and merit in them all - The actual truth they attempted to define, never altered a bit.

Transient mind

The mind it comes, it goes, it is transient - it does not mean a thing.

Be aware of awareness until awareness remains.

The mind will come and go, it is transient, it does not mean a thing.

Live in bliss

The true self, awareness, gives rise to the all powerful consciousness that brings forth a powerful mind. This mind gives rise to an infinite dream worlds and dreamers.

When you are dead or asleep the mind is manufacturing all of these universes and worlds and people. The self, you, is always the root of this infinite show, you are more than that, you are beyond that.

When you wake as a human, you are the little 'i' and you give your little i consciousness to the mind world.

I tell you over and over to look the other way, to bliss. By all means enjoy the world of the mind, but never forget your root, never forget your self. This way you can live in bliss.

Awareness is wasted on the mind too often

You are constantly aware. You could be no other way as that is what you are! Awareness itself.

As has been said many many times, the mind is a puppet show, constantly vying for attention by giving you what you least expect, or just what you did expect, but never what you crave. As you reach for peace, the mind throws up a new idea, wish or memory, like an attention seeker it will do anything to have your attention.

Your attention is precious, it is the root to being. Don't waste awareness on the mind.

By all means appreciate the majesty of your creation, but don't hold on to the unreal.

Getting to the real subject

Everyone can see that if there were no subjective ego self then there would be no world to see.

By the same logic, and some people instinctively know this to be true, but many will not see it: If there were no true self, there would be no world at all, no people, no stars, no universe, no potential for anything.

You may easily see that you are an ego self who on dying will no longer see the world.

You may be one of the few who know their true self to be the only self, the one that was here before the mind, the world and the body.
