undivided

there is no doer, action, instrument or seer
there is only ONE, undivided

Ai am neither the perceiever, actor nor the action
these are included in me
Ai am the meeting point

Love

"Rare are the men and women who know how to love, which explains why people are unhappy, even when they believe they have found the so-called ‘love of their life’. To love does not mean to concentrate all your attention on one man or woman, and when you limit yourself in this way, you become poorer. When you truly love, your love for another is enriched with your love for the entire universe – for all creatures and all creation, from the stones to the stars. In this way you pour treasures into the soul of your beloved.

To say to a man or woman: ‘I love no one but you’ is of no real advantage to this person, and in fact it is the surest way to impoverish him or her. Unless your heart is already full of love for others, your love brings your beloved nothing."

seeing

something happens to man in his infancy
where he contracts energetically
into a separate beingness

this is only an appearance of separation
there is only one universal existence
flowing in complete accord with itself

but in the energetic contraction
man sees himself as an individual or person
this contraction occurs in the cognizing process
where the ethereal or subtle matter we call thoughts
are taken to objects that we are creating individually
leading us to the belief that we are the doer
that we as an individual have the power to create and manifest
this contraction is the ego or mind

liberation, illumination, enlightenment
ia release from the contraction that we are separate
and is a return to a natural functioning
like that of a newborn child
even of plant, mineral or natures creatures

creation is then seen not as individual but universal
each event, object, thought is seen as a timeless arising
an arising within itself

this is strange to comprehend because it cant be
understood by the individual
the “you” must evaporate for this to be seen

you will try to see it through the lens of a separate identity
but only in the dropping of the lens will it be revealed
not revealed to you but become self evident

you can not do anything for this to occur
it is already occurring but the contraction that
has you see yourself as separate creates a veil
and blinds you to what you are

this is not a prescription to take any action
it is only a description of a seeing over here
there is no purpose but its own expression

when you see, and i see, we merge
we are already merged! but this is figurative, poetic
a dance of being and of life

this is the singing of a bird
it knows nothing of its melody
other than the rapture of it

it arises spontaneously
from nowhere
from within and without

seeing is like realizing that
the reflection in the lake is not the moon
seeing that you are the moon, the lake, the reflection and the seer!

however this realization only occurs when
there is an expansion in the energy
this expansion can be taken to be spontaneous or as a ripening
it is both since it is timeless

when it is seen all paradigms that exist
in the contraction of being separate blow apart
its as if there exist two worlds on top of the other
this can be seen as a miracle of miracles
but this is not as mystical as it appears to be
it is a function of raw intelligence energy manifesting itself

it cant even be said if anything is manifesting at all
“being” is commonly used but i prefer “are”

any description destroys what this is
not only cant it be described
but the very attempt at comprehension is
an act of separation
this process too is contained within totality

these words have already died
they survive this expression

the dance

All this spirituality, understanding, seeing can be reduced to flow. Flow of energy, chi, prana, oneness, the great intelligence, totality, vibration, sound, light, whatever you want to call it. Happiness, joy, love, compassion are expansive, fear, greed, hate, desire, are contracting, peace is stillness. Simple as that. This is all that is happening and you are not only what happens inside this movement but you are the very movement itself.

You can not direct this movement since you are it. Its (your) very flow is intelligence which, in its every action/projection, is in accord with itself. you cant even watch it since you also the watching. you are a boundless ocean of being seemingly flowing. what arises in boundlessness is not important - awareness can be of the ethereal or of chopping a tree or solving a mathematical equation. These are absolutely ALL THE SAME. you are that which arises.. you are the tree, the chopping, the chopper. the mathemetician, the equation, the riddle and the answer. this will never be understood but perhaps seen. seen by no one but by the very flow, intelligence itself. there is no point to it but itself.

The consistency of being embodied in a physical form is the firmament of what you take as reality. this is why you can not beleive you are god. how can it be so that this little person is it?! there is not an answer. when the question stops, it is seen. nothing can stop the question but the flow, which you are. you cant allow it to happen, wait for it, make it... you are it. do whatever you are doing. it has already happened and you already are what you are!

this is the dance.

such is my dance

such is my dance
i sing my song through you such that i may hear
i suffer through you such that i may feel
i laugh through you such that i may rejoice
i am born through you such that i may live
i die through you such that i may return

i give you others such that you may share
through your sharing i see myself

what you think shall be
and what you think is also given by me

your breath is me
your sight is me
your feelings are me

i am your words
your subjects, your objects they are all me

i am the reader, the writer and the publisher
i am also the critic and the follower

i am the seeker and the sought
i am all there is and there is nothing that is not

there is no difference in me and you
other than one sees and the other dreams

vision

i speak of a vision
where the dreamer is the very dream
hence can not awaken upon his own beckoning

what are you trying then to attain
there is no point at all
only this aliveness
to which there is no beginning nor end
it has no purpose other than itself

divine, sublime, godly are mere terms
to whom or what do I offer my worship?
i extol certain beings as realized and avatars
they are none other than manifestations of myself

they are contained within my being
they arise only in me
without me they can not exist

The void is no mere emptiness, but is real, free and existing. It is the source from which all things arise and return. It cannot be seen, touched or known, yet it exists and is freely used. It has no shape, size, colour or form, and yet all that we see, hear, feel and touch is "it". It is beyond intellectual knowing and cannot be grasped by the ordinary mind. When we suddenly awake to the realization that there is no barrier, and has never been seen, one realizes that one is all things, mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, sun, moon, stars, universe are all oneself. There is no longer a division or barrier between myself and others, no longer any feeling of alienation or fear. Realizing this, results in true compassion. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself, on the contrary, as one's own body.

"ARE"

awakening is merely the clarity
that that there is no past and no future
that there is neither place, neither in time, nor out of time

only a meeting of
the hearing, the sound, the heard and the hearer
of the seeing, the sight, the seen and the seer
of the tasting, the taste, the tasted and the taster
of the sensing, the sense, the sensed and the sensor
of the desiring, the desire, the desired and the desirer
of the thinking, the thought, the object and the thinker

there are no answers and no questions
there is no difference between form and formless

There is no living in do’s and dont’s
Who is there to do?
Who is there to be still?
Who is there to be quiet?
Who is there to understand?
Who is there to live?
Who is there to even be the instrument?

there is no one, no individual, no person
you are not you
you are not that
you are not this

this is this and there is no that
there are no multiple dimensions
there is not even one dimension

there is no being
there is only “are”
not “you are” but just “are”
this is “are”
“are” is not now
there is no now
there is only “are”

“are” is impersonal
neither vast nor minute
“are” cant be said

all memories, appearances, thoughts, are “are”
there is nothing outside “are”
those things you think exist only exist in “are”
they have no separate nature whatsoever
nothing is separate

there is no consciousness
there is no presence
there is no intelligence
there is no reality
there is no truth
there is no one

these are only concepts
concepts are movements within
they point nowhere
because “are” cant be pointed to
“are” has no cardinal point
“are” is not even everywhere
there is no everywhere or everything
this implies a nowhere or nothing
“are” is neither, are is not even both

You will never get this
Because you are not
even “are” is not
“are” is “are”
