Peter Stafford Sumner, To an Inquirer, 2010

 

It’s been said that small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events and that great minds discuss ideas.But the greatest, it seems, abandon idle discussion and debate and having sought and found the Sacred within, are blissful in mystical union with the still, silent Presence.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

The space is there which is neither the light nor the dark, but the space is. You have to transcend light and darkness to abide in space. Similarly, one has to transcend the knowingness and no-knowingness - the aspects of bodily consciousness.

SMILE, IT'S CAT- ERDAY

 

Lao Tzu

 

Some say that my teaching is nonsense.Others call it lofty but impractical.But to those who have looked inside themselves, this nonsense makes perfect sense. And to those who put it into practice,this loftiness has roots that go deep.I have just three things to teach:simplicity, patience, compassion.

 

The Secret

 

The earth turns on its orbit for You. The oceans ebb and flow for You. The birds sing for You. The sun rises and it sets for You. The stars come out for You. Every beautiful thing you see, every wondrous thing you experience, is all there, for You. Take a look around. None of it can exist, without You. No matter who you thought you were, now you the Truth of Who You Really Are. You are the master of the Universe. You are the heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of Life.

Shel Silverstein

 

Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Ramana Maharshi

 

There are no others.Whatever you see outside, is your own reflection.Your mind is creating all of this.

Come, Dance…

Remember… the dance of Silence within; the vast Cosmic Dance of the Divine that exists within this Still Presence that we are…

Mystic Meandering

Wendell-Berry

 

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

That's how you came here, like a star without a name... Rumi Be The Energy Trust the energy that courses through you. Trust - then take surrender even deeper. Be the energy. Don't push anything away. Follow each sensation back to its source and focus your awareness there. Be the ecstasy... Be unafraid of consummate wonder. Energy so new, so vulnerable, that you don't know who you are. Be the energy, and paradoxically, be at peace. Dare to be your own illumination, And blaze a trail across the clear night sky...
