Jiddu Krishnamurti on Meditation

Meditation is space where Thought can not Enter.

Meditation opens the door to the Incalculable, to the Measureless.

Swami Rama Tirtha - ‘I AM THAT’

I AM THAT’

I have no scruple of change, nor fear of death,

Nor was I ever born,

Nor had I parents.

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am That, I am That,

I cause no misery, nor am I miserable;

I have no enemy, nor am I enemy.

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am That, I am That,

I am without form, without limit,

Beyond space, beyond time,

I am in everything, everything is in me.

I am the bliss of the universe,

Everywhere am I.

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am That, I am That,

I am without body or change of the body,

I am neither senses, nor object of the senses,

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am That, I am That,

I am neither sin, nor virtue,

Nor temple, nor worship

Nor pilgrimage, nor books.

I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,

I am That, I am That.

Ana Ram Callan - Who am I?

Who am I?

Dip your heart

in the Golden Question

and the ocean of knowing

will yield its nectar.

What has always been you

will disrobe, will unveil

itself so you may marry

your beauty, your singular

truth, so you may become

that one Love that has waited

lifetimes, that has never,

ever abandoned you.

Fall into me, lay down the past,

let your mind be freed of its shackles

so you may shine as that light

- O Illumined One -

your very birthright

for eternity.

Ana Callan

H. W. L. Poonja (Papaji) - Only Self is.

Self is what you are.

You are That Fathomlessness

in which experience and concepts appear.

Self is the Moment that has no

coming or going.

It is the Heart, Atman, Emptiness.

It shines to Itself, by Itself, in Itself.

Self is what gives breath to Life.

You need not search for It, It is Here.

You are That through which

you would search.

You are what you are looking for!

And That is All it is.

Only Self is. 

Ulla - ONE voice

What rest in Silence but the first sigh so words could out of it fly!

Consciousness is stirred by a Thought that is heard!

One Voice!

There are many speakers, only ONE voice.

Appearing separate and with a choice.

In the hall of mirrors the ONE stand,

Giving reflections of more than ONE brand.

Mistaken itself with more is Existences constant chore,

Yet, always ONE at the core.

In form through continuity,

Boundless divinity, formless in infinity,

Never born, never to die, Existence freely fly.

When in the stillness there are no pieces and chess.

Only ONEness in recess.

Embracing nothingness in its fold,

No formless or form to hold.

~~~~~~~

One Space!

There is only ONE space,

With plenty of stars and planets to have a base.

Stars and planets come and depart,

Like a supernova that split apart.

Space remain even when there are no objects to detain.

The backdrop of space is the ONE essence of Grace.

Stars and planets may go ablaze,

What remains leave no trace,

The untouched silence of space.

~~~~~~~~~

Encompassing Sea!

There is a still and encompassing silent Sea,

Embracing the moment HERE and NOW and BE.

Until the stirring of a wave for movement crave,

Creating a turf where Life can surf, ahead or reverse.

The future and past was born with a wave that was torn.

Along with the many characters that necessitate the cast,

That appears in Life so real and filled with contrast.

Until the wave reach the shore and once again returns to the silent core. 

beyond poetry

Bentinho Massaro - from "Insights Into Awareness"

You are not in the World, the World appears in You

All appearances together is what we may call the world, or sometimes it is 

called Maya. It is much like a dream-world which simply appears/exists 

within mind/consciousness. 

There cannot truly be proven to be a world 'out there' that's separate from 

awareness. „Separate from Awareness‟ means that it exists as something 

other than pure perception; as an individual object, an autonomous 

reality.

Even if we could find solid indications of there being an actual world out 

there, separate from awareness, then where would that perception/proof 

occur? By what is it known? That very piece of evidence and the process 

of investigation, all appears within awareness.

Can we prove something, can we state something is here, when we are 

not aware of that perception?

As an analogy, Einstein once suggested: "Does the moon really exist if we 

are not looking at it?"

The entire world exists within awareness. Like a dream, it exists within the 

mind alone and is never separate from mind. Dream = Mind, World = 

Awareness. There is no dream that does not consist of mind. There is no 

dream that exists of some individual substance or power/nature. All 

appearances within a dream, no matter how real they look and feel to the 

sensory perceptions, consists of Mind/Awareness and appear in 

Mind/Awareness alone. 

So too does the „biggest‟ appearance of all: The world in its totality, the 

universe, appear within awareness. In this sense we can use the proverb 

that says: "You are not within the world, the world is within you."

We can try to pick apart our thoughts and emotions for an eternity as if 

they are objects perceived by a perceiver, and not ever realize awareness 

fully.

We have to start seeing that all appearances exist as one single 

appearance/perception and that all 'individual aspects' are nothing more 

than one, total, pure perception within awareness. 

Only if we start to recognize that awareness is free from, yet fully 

pervades/permeates the appearances as a whole at all times, will we truly 

make a shift in experiential consciousness, which starts to recognize the 

natural presence of what's never touched by any appearance yet in which

all appearances exist as.

St. John of the Cross - The Ascent of Mount Carmel

The following verses were written by St. John of the Cross, the Spanish mystic of the Order of Discalced Carmelites, after having spent many months imprisoned in a small cell in Toledo, in 1578. These verses are from his drawing "The Ascent of Mount Carmel," which contained instructions for climbing to the summit, the high state of union:

To reach satisfaction in all

desire its possession in nothing.

To come to the knowledge of all

desire the knowledge of nothing.

To come to possess all

desire the possession of nothing.

To arrive at being all

desire to be nothing.

To come to the pleasure which you have not

you must go by a way in which you enjoy not.

To come to the knowledge which you have not

you must go by a way in which you know not.

To come to the possession you have not

you must go by a way in which you possess not.

To come to be what you are not

you must go by a way in which you are not.

When you turn toward something

you cease to cast yourself upon the all. 

For to go from the all to the all

you must leave yourself in all.

And when you come to the possession of the all

you must possess it without wanting anything.

In this nakedness the spirit finds

its quietude and rest.

For in coveting nothing,

nothing raises it up

and nothing weighs it down,

because it is the center of its humility.

Mooji - You are bathing in Grace

Once you are present in the Energyfield of Self-discovery, 

it's like you are a piece of ice in warm water.

The warm water is the Self. The ice is the mind.

The warm water is not fighting with the ice. 

The ice can not resist the melting.

It is a natural and fatal attraction.

Mooji
