Nirmala - The mystery



the mystery
of this simple moment
cannot be spoken
yet all of history
occurred to arrive here

the mystery
of the endless terrain of self
cannot be mapped out
countless new frontiers
are born with every breath

the mystery
of awakening
cannot be achieved
all that is needed
is to notice inner eyes that never close

the mystery
of sweet undying love
cannot be understood
the heart already knows
what the mind can only long for

the mysteries
always remain
untouched by worried thought
ready to welcome us home
when we abandon our dreams

Jiddu Krishnamurti - The ending of time is the ending of change



The ending of time is the ending of change. The being,
trying to become, invents time. The being, whatever it
be, is without time. The word is of time, and when the word
is associated with the being, the illusion of movement from
this  to  that  takes  place.  But  the  being  undergoes  a  radical 
transformation when the mind is free of time. 
The probing into this is meditation.

To probe is not to achieve. If you probe deliberately, with
full  intention  of  discovery,  then  what  you  discover  will  be 
the projection of your past. But if you probe without
you, the  thinker,  then  probing  is  endless,  inexhaustible.  The 
intention to probe comes with the intention to find, but the
finding becomes trivial when it is an experience. Experience
is recognition, and recognition is association, the past. There
must be the abandonment of what is discovered in probing,
all the time, for this allows freedom, 
and without freedom inquiry is negated.

The  constant  is  of  no-time,  but  it  is  not  stationary. 
Meditation  is  the  freeing  from  that  state  of  mind  that 
possessing  decays.  Innocency  is  this  freedom.  Love  which 
possesses destroys itself. Meditation is the throwing away of
all man’s cunning, and the throwing away of the morality of
thought.

Echo of the Absolute - Unknowing



The universe makes most sense by not making much sense.
As its purpose is to have no particular purpose,
It has infinite creative potential.

It moves as it stays and stays as it moves.
As change is its only constant,
It remains forever the same.

It has always been going on without going anywhere.
As it has never started and will never end,
Time does not apply to it.

It gives rise to all pairs of opposites.
And as the source of everything,
Nothing exists apart of it.

You are neither its puppet nor its master.
These ideas are based on self and other,
But such separation never took place.

There is only all-self which is all-other,
Forever re-creating itself out of itself.
We are IT dreaming we are other.

Now, wake up.
But beware.

The juice of life is in the dream.

Kavita Byrd - In the infinite unseen



My heart makes love
In secret silence

To all that is.
My womb gives birth
To the universe
And my breasts
Suckle the stars.

Who knows near or far
In this cave of silence
Whose earth is the sky
No one sits but all
Existence.

I am this
Which never dies
Which rocks the seas of being
In its dreams
And cradles all creation
In the infinite unseen.



 

Miriam Louisa - Morning Star



Woken by a shift

in the Earth’s breath,

I sit in silence –

the pre-dawn hush

and my green tea for company.



In the east,

over the Pacific,

a bright star soars,

shaking off the shackles of night.

Its brilliance beggars belief.



I blink, I bow, a thought flashes:

Never forget that

more than two millennia ago

Gautama saw this star

and knew


{ as do you }



that nothing needed to be

understood, learned or believed

felt, integrated or expressed

fixed, healed or overcome

dropped or avoided

actioned or attained,

in order that his body’s naked awareness might meet itself

as the morning star.


{ Halleluja! }

Brian Browne Walker - The way of the Way



Forget all ideas
of accomplishing something —
in your practice and everywhere
else. Everything is already
accomplished.


If this sounds
like a tricky idea to you,
the flaw is in your understanding
of reality, not in reality
itself.


Allowing nature
to manifest is the way
of the Way. By setting aside
our ambitions and leaving
the Way to the Way,
we perfect the
Way.


Wei wu Wei Ching, Chapter 43
