This is just a comment from here to Ananda here:
http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic....OPIC_ID=4922
Ananda said:
quote:
lolz okay then i pray that i realize it all already happened.
Both prayers....."yours" and "mine"....surface out of the same here 
What both ÿou and i was waiting for had already happened, see....the fact that both nothing and everything is happening had already happened......... and is always already happening
Here was already here
Now was all the time now
Yet - all the waiting.....was the unwillingness to be totally quiet
i can never be quiet, see....being the noise
So i was myself the procrastination
Cannot blame me either.....because in being quiet i disappear. i dissolve in the silence
And there was unwillingness to dissolve, because of all the projects I thought i had undertaken
i had so much to do!
So much to take care of!
i wanted so many things!
It took years......to realize that all the things were substitutes for what was really longed for:
Peace - Love - Freedom
And especially when this was realized, i made it into a project - the biggest task of all. Something to be attained. It was desperately wanted!
And yet - none of it....not one iota of what seemingly happened to veil the fact that nothing ever happens....none of it was ever a mistake!
It is such a paradox....yet completely clear here.....*laughing*
Since all the time here was here
And now was now
*laughing*................*laughing*
Oh, my.......it seemingly took all this struggle to finally surrender to the fact that i would never attain:
Peace - Love - Freedom
i was the very movement that veiled the silent emanation Iam
THIS here
THIS now
So.... out of sheer.... .....intelligence...............*lol*
when this one-pointed desire was thorroughly not fulfilled......i finally....was unplugged from the power that enlivened i
nothing was left, see.....the unwillingness was all that was left...after all the other garments had been undressed.....the intelligence itself exposed the i as being non-existent. As something that had never existed.
Still there was resistance towards this uncovering for a bit more *laughing*
Being the most stubborn, see.....*laughing*.....you know, just wanted to be absolutely sure that i had always been a mirage
*laughing*......there will always be projects to buy, see.....like Service and such - don't be fooled by it You see....i can never be sure. And it is simply not needed like this
All is already unfolding beautifully here as it is.
There is Service going on.....yet nothing is going on, really. I certainly am not doing anything.
The fan finally stops....simply of itself.....since the power is already cut.
Not even a surrender, see. Just inevitable.
Silence = here. They are synonymous.
And here is beautiful
Not an experience....just sheer enjoying
So Ananda/Bliss - Now that projects and prayers are undressed and unplugged - just stay here
Yes?

lolzzzzz now it's my turn to laugh, thk you from the bottom of my heart.
you might not know it but this matter of the now, i don't know how to explain it but even though i know all this stuff and tried to put it into effect b4.
it hasn't been fully realized until these last three days.
it just is and i am embracing it with all my heart just letting go. (active surrender )
i read sidharta by herman heiss a few days back, this story is simple yet effective and know it or not it had a huge impact on me.
so thk you for reminding me .
i've hungered so much, been looking so much, practiced so much but in the midst of it all i never took a rest and enjoyed the now.
i've been very influenced by some of my blissful experiences so much till the end that i made them a 24\7 goal and in the pursuit of that goal i kind of lost myself.
i've been lost and now i'm found, to be losing myself again. (what a beautiful paradox ey!)
a jolly merry christmas to you sweet Katrine.
and by the way that prayer of love is "melting...."
merci chere Katrine, je dois alle maintenant manger un peu de bushe de noel avec beaucoups de mindfulness.
god bless,
Ananda |

Alors cette....c'est tout, non? This is all there is, yes

Oui......et comme ca tu est jamais perdu et toujour ici, non? And like this you are never lost and always here, yes
Et maintenant....tu sais que ton coeur est joyeux....parce que il est Le Joie ....le même And now.....you know that your heart is joyous...because it is the very Joy itself

and by the way that prayer of love is "melting...."

Moi aussi, j'adore Siddhartha! I am currently reading "Old Path, White Cloud" a story about the Buddha by Thich Nhat Hanh, thanks to a recommendation by Louis. A great read and more of the same type of heart expansion from reading, formidable! |

Oh! Andrew, glad you are enjoying it. I suppose I had better read it myself seeing as I'm recommending it (but I did say I hadn't read it)
So you would recommend it would you?? |

Yes, it would definitely make my top 10 list of books. A great recommendation, even considering you haven't read it. I am really enjoying it, a page turner as they say. |
