life awaits...

know my friends
that one is to be *living* the truth
this is so very different than an understanding
of it
this is so very different than being separate from it
for the mind will do this
make distinctions and separate out a you
from all else that lives
this is the trick that it plays
like a room of mirrors that eludes itself
always
and in this room of mirrors, there is no truth
to be found
only a revolving wheel of thoughts and all that
comes with this …
but when the mind stops this revolving and comes
to rest in the heart
then and only then is there peace and what is seen
is not separate, but the same in all directions and at all times
and under all conditions
then and only then, there is stillness that forgets the world
with all it's miseries and events that happened to a persona
then and only then, the mind is cleared of all obstructions
and misunderstandings that have been collected due to clinging
to this false notion of individuality...
so very much like a ghost of sorts (this false sense) that rises and attaches to the form
but in itself it is formless and is not at all real or solid
this is the reality
and having no place to attach, when the mind is purified, this energy
will die away like mist in the morning light
for it is not able to withstand forever
this light of love that is God, Guru, Allah, Brahman, Absolute
or whatever name one wants to call it
it is the absolute reality that is ONE and undivided and without end and without
beginning and most importantly without suffering, fetters, bindings, attachments
nothing like this ever existed in this perfection
and this perfection (the absolute)
is what is to be entered into with courage and heart and love

oh my friend
i know you to be well and out of suffering
always and forever
you are the burning atman, the fire of allah
the mountain steady and filled with majesty
you are the prince of peace
like Christ
how he came to free the souls that thirsted for clear waters
he came like a prince and was crucified by the ones that loved
him in the beginning even
how very sad indeed
but, the bright note is always that Christ showed the way to the eternal
to the holy of holiest, the one, the sun that sits glorious and filled with light
and love and purity
is this not a beautiful thing?

sons and daughters,
seat yourself by the waters of joy
this evening,
the sky is filled with colors of bright hue that have only
been spun by the heart
the earth, so filled with riches… deep and wonderful mysteries
lie there awaiting new birth always
the ocean, spreading far and wide with rolling waves
that sing so joyous
and the life within it how filled with abundance!
the children running about and playing in the light that
dances by the shore and in the breeze fresh with warmth
the hills too are filled with the call of the earth and the wild creatures
how free they roam about, laying their heads in the dirt at night, filled with
the song of life
in the jungle, what wonders are there!
animals of such power and strength and such rich greenery and dancing mysteries...
in you too, this life dances my friends…like all that live and all that have died
and all that are to come…
no one is left out of this life that gives of itself… and leaves the man to seek his heart
if he so chooses…
this is the beauty of life… to choose to walk the journey of heart… to be set free of shadow
to never call it back to the soul…
yes, indeed, this is the greatest opportunity…
and those that continue, how blessed are they?
these ones are to know in time the non-dual treasure that sits like a beautiful gem
splendid and without comparison
eventually, this is the reality...the best of the best awaits
but know dear ones, that this reality is here and now and not out there like a thing to be
taken and possessed… this is so very false…
the ego wants to own this treasure and it cannot, not now, not ever…
so do not be deluded by this type of thinking…
it is the ego that is to die completely away before life is…
before this perfection can be made manifest…


...and so the journey continues…
