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.
