Mystic Meandering ~ LIVE!

 

LIVE!

Let go...

Let it all go:
Hopes for the future.
Regret for the past.
Expectations for the present.

LIVE!

Embraced in the space of
your Aliveness,
at the still point of
your Being.

With no conceptual scaffolding of belief
to hold "you" together...

LIVE!

Disappear in the Excitement
of the Infinite Dancing Heart...

LIVE!

Without requiring yourself to be
different,
without wanting to change
who you ARE...

LIVE!

Authentically...  Genuinely...
Emptied out of the way your
conditioned mind tells you
what your life must be...

LIVE!

Free yourself from your facades
and the attachments to
your patterns of perspective
that keep you safe, but confined...

LIVE!

Let go into the Cosmic Stream
that already carries you...

LIVE!

Trust the unfolding of the Fire in your Soul...

Jiddu Krishnamurti ~ The flowering of meditation

 

The sun was setting in great clouds of colour behind the Roman hills;
they were brilliant, splashed across the sky and the whole earth was made splendid, even the telegraph poles and the endless rows of building.
It was soon becoming dark and the car was going fast.
The hills faded and the country became flat.

To look with thought and to look without thought are two different things.  
To look at those trees by the roadside and the buildings across the dry fields with thought, keeps the brain tied to its own moorings of time, experience, memory;
the machinery of thought is working endlessly, without rest, without freshness; the brain is made dull, insensitive, without the power of recuperation.
It is everlastingly responding to challenge and its response is inadequate and not fresh.
To look with thought keeps the brain in the groove of habit and recognition; it becomes tired and sluggish; it lives within the narrow limitations of its own making.
 
It is never free.
 
This freedom takes place when thought is not looking; to look without thought does not mean a blank observation, absence in distraction.
When thought does not look, then there is only observation, without the mechanical process of recognition and comparison, justification and condemnation; this seeing does not fatigue the brain for all mechanical processes of time have stopped.
Through complete rest the brain is made fresh, to respond without reaction, to live without deterioration, to die without the torture of problems.
To look without thought is to see without the interference of time, knowledge and conflict.
This freedom to see is not a reaction; all reactions have causes; to look without reaction is not indifference, aloofness, a cold-blooded withdrawal.
To see without the mechanism of thought is total seeing, without particularization and division, which does not mean that there is not separation and dissimilarity.
The tree does not become a house or the house a tree. Seeing without thought does not put the brain to sleep; on the contrary, it is fully awake, attentive, without friction and pain.
 
Attention without the borders of time is the flowering of meditation.
