only the one

the bhakta,
he prays to be one with God
and then the kundalini fire comes
and destroys the egoic desires and movement
the prayer vanishes
and the one who prayed too
he then is unified with God
which means,
he (the one who was so very devoted)
no longer exists
only the one remains
and the one is what has always been

inward

a man sows what he keeps as a focus
if his focus is outward,
the world appears as so many things,
but if he moves inward,
where mind is stripped bare
of all the gathered notions
then he begins to stop his sowing
of this false  way
and is taken in by something else
very different
which is called grace
grace begins to break down this sense
of doership
that makes him feel like a separate being
and with this blessing comes kundalini
burning away the darkness created by
grasping at that which is not real
oh  my friends,
how this is like a fire to the ego
and ego does not want to feel it's sting
but kundalini will not stop
it will keep putting mind
in the face to be seen for what it is
an empty playing out
that rises from nothing
and goes to nothing

love the SELF

the ego is the disease
it is not true
hearken to this dear one,
forget your world of fantasy
and place your attention in the heart
do not love the desires or
the thoughts
but love the SELF

from the dust

out of the dust,
from the dross, the mud
blooms the lilly
how fragrant it is
how full and without imperfections
the blossom of the toil
that comes from suffering
and sheds it's skin of the world
then lo, friends
the beauty of the heart
is what remains
perfect
without any gathered notions
of this and that
and you and me
just the truth
stainless,
joy
oh friends,
this is it
the life force of all

such a difference… writing on Christ...

when Christ came to the earth

he said, be still and know

he said that darkness has no power against the light 

he said this with a voice so clear 

and free of the wounds that were laid upon him

this was at a time when the people were not giving of their souls 

but were pretending many times to be disciples of the holy one 

the seekers were pretending that they loved this Lord 

and would lay all down for him to be set free of their burden

but when it came to that time to own up and say

yes, this is my savior that is to be crucified 

this is the one i love so dear and without selfishness

many would not say 

and walked away with their minds churning about on 

thoughts that would take them only into more suffering 

but when Christ rose again on the third day 

he came in spirit and taught those that were open to 

give what his word was 

which was to sin no more and be present and real and 

peaceful without thinking all the time 

and being caught up in desire after desire 

for this will not be a life of freedom

the disciples that listened, then went out to teach 

the word as they had within them the holy spirit

which is truly kundalini

it is the serpent fire that comes from the absolute 

and gives the seeker a chance to see what is keeping them

bound to the false

Mary Magdelene, she was filled with seven demons 

and when Jesus looked upon her, she was shaken out of her 

dark turmoil and laid to rest within herself to be able to 

listen to the holy scripture that came from the voice of Jesus

she listened with an openness not seen often with the ones that 

sat by him

he spoke of the light that filled the heart with love, joy

and perfection

she listened to him with love and did not desire him in the flesh

or want to be his partner in that way

but wanted to love his heart in the way of being one with him

she was a woman that came out of turmoil and was grounded in

the light of Jesus and saw immediately the difference in her life 

due to his grace 

and because of this she was committed 100% to him in the way

of service to know her heart as it is without stain

this is like the sadhaka too… he is to see the difference in his life 

that the Guru has opened the way to him and because of this 

his life is different in the best way… even though it is very, very hard still

he knows that without this light that has come.. his life would not be 

grounded in the heart like it is and pointed in the right direction….

this is the truth

i have no burden to bear

i have no crafty ways of mind 

i have no life or death

i have no pain or sorrow

i have no shifting sands 

i have no house to lay my head

i have no coverings to hide behind

i have no building up or taking down

i have no here or there or in between

i have no form or name or face 

i have no words to speak

i have nothing to give 

i have nothing to take 

i have nothing to find 

i have nothing to know 

i have nothing to be free of 

i have no bondage

i have no ego

no falsity, no voice that speaks of this

or that or me or you

who am i?

my dear your very self

this the truth

you are this beauty that shines of 

love and light 

and stillness

clear, peaceful and without the least bit 

of duality

yes, this is the truth

shakti play

what life is not,
is that which mind speaks of
a shadow or a ray
that personalizes all that is seen
and heard and felt
life is not this
dear souls,
it is the shakti play
in all her wondrous ways
it is the leela
the dawn of colors and
dancing appearances
that is imbedded eternally in truth
which is non-dual
this is what is the living dance
it is forever playing it's tune
it is endless in nature
and not to be attached to
or taken in as a thing to be owned
oh dear souls, how very wrong this is
for all that plays is the
absolute perfection
it cannot be separate from it
it has it's life from this
it has it's death in this
it has it's creation from this
it has it's mystery in this
yes, indeed
it is the shakti play
love it as a witness
not like a one that is *lost* in it
oh friend,
love it as a silent witness
then this world will not wreak havoc
on your soul
