Beauty Filled fall evening dear friends,
Thank you for allowing this one to share on the site for a bit. Is time to bid adieu as these discussions could go on endlessly. Some may feel they benefited from the Pointings, others may not. The Reality is that it is the Sharing Itself which truly matters and whether you believe it was of value one way or the other is of little consequence. Man, dear ones, has no way in which to judge the Ways of Consciousness or what is taking place under the surface; he can only remain open to Its Gentle Showers of Grace.
May you all enter into your practices with diligence, patience and focus at all times and in all places. To pursue one practice over another; to constantly search for the next “great practice” that will “take you Here” is destined for failure. For it isn’t the fault of the practice, but is from lack of one sighted focus and the constant need to strive, grasp and cling; the need to continually recreate a story of “me doing something to get This”.
Practices may lead to the Door of Understanding, but you can not open the Door. On the threshold, you will have to drop all that was accumulated while on your journey through life, for no man enters into the Kingdom of Heaven. Here, Only God Reigns. The purposes of Practices are not about gathering things along the Way, but of letting them go entirely. So become steady in practices that bring quiet and just sit back and watch as the play of life floats by, while discarding all that is not Permanent. If is not lasting, it can not be real. What you Truly Are is Faceless, Pure and without blemish. Beyond body, beyond mind. Beyond.
As one so Rightly said before: “The crows assert that a single crow could destroy the heavens. This is certainly true, but it proves nothing against the heavens, because ‘heaven’ means precisely: the impossibility of crows.” - Kafka
Great Peace and Blessings from the Great Beyond.

Completely agree. Thank you for your words and points of view on all the discussions. For me they were enriching and inspiring, a sort of "tough reminder" of reality. I agree that the importance is delligence and focus in practice and in life, in every moment of breath. For now, at least, is the way to un-cover the self. And of course, laughter and lightness of being, happiness.
Your poems were also very beautiful.
Thank you. |
