Alain Joly - Simply being

 

"Your sense of simply being
is the most shy presence
you will ever encounter in your life,
and yet you will find nothing more attractive
than its discreet and humble presence.  
There is glory in simply being,
without going for qualities, qualifications, objects, pretence.   
Silence is louder than noise,
and truth more clamorous than any lie can be."

Jean Klein - The All-presence

 

"But at other times when you say I exist, you are heading towards the perception of a non-state, which is neither of the body nor of the mind. This non-state is being, it is indeterminable, cannot be located mentally or physically. It is neither a thought nor a feeling. This non-state is identical to that of your surroundings. You are of the very same essence. In this non-state there are no surroundings. If there is another, that is, if there are surroundings, there is an I, and vice-versa.

"Our surroundings are not contained by name and form. You are neither the body nor the mind, these are limits you identify with through a lack of clear-sightedness. When you are attentive to a tree or flower, the perception, shape, name and concept are not the only things present. There is also the All-presence that you share with them and that you are both part of. The very name and form spring forth from this eternal background, the All-presence. This is instantaneous awareness that cannot be reached by thought."
