Aum

The believed in person or entity
has no independent existence.
And can therefore said to be unreal.

Reality is that which stands on its own. 

Then one can conclude that 
there is no need, or even possibility
to get rid of the person.
As how can one can rid of something
which does not exist in the first place.
A certain amount of energy, in the shape
of beliefs, thoughts, convictions, have
gone into the forming of this pseudo identity.
These thoughts and beliefs have contracted
and then crystalised into what we believe
ourselves to be:
Existing on our own, full of limitations
and somewhere located.

The thing needed to untie the knots
of identifications is to see for oneself
the unreality of the person.
That All one ever always is, is
boundless, ever present, and
connected to All and everything.

Omniscient, omnipotent and
omnipresent.

Aumniscient, Aumnipotent,
and aumnipresent.

Aum

Only This

This pulsating aliveness
Ever present
No limits
No borders
Natural
Simple
No big deal
You in the most you sense possible
Soo intimately known
The only Thing known
You 'll always meet only This
As This is all there is
And This is You
Whatever arises
Whatever appears
Its only Yourself you meet
No strangers in Youland
Can't get out of It
Nowhere to run
Nothing to get
You are Here already
Always
All
No you no me
No one
Only This

One wonders

We do not know what Life is.
Life is just a word to indicate
this open field where things are happening.
Inexplicably things come and go.
We do not really know what it is that
comes and goes.
We give it words, like sky, or cow or spoon;
but what is it really?.
Can we capture the mystery
of air, colour, water condensations,
air pockets etc. in a word called sky?
And if we look closely do we even know
what is a colour, or air pockets.

It is all a mysterious happening.

Or a cow, what is it?
A word to indicate what is this mass of cells,
differentiated in so many different functions,
and it breathes and moves, and milk can come?

Do we know what anything is?

Opening up to this wonder.

'What is enlightenment'

Something beautiful from Francis Lucille
on the question:
'What is enlightenment'


'It is a deep transformation initiated at the
very core of the body mind by an act of Grace,
meaning a glimpse of Presence.
It is a response to a question and
a deep desire for That.
A desire which is so powerful that it
is stronger than the fear for
absolute disappearance.
It is the victory of light over darkness.
As a result of this initiation gradually
the mind and the body get realigned with
the Truth that has been revealed.
They become the servants of the Absolute.
The Absolute uses them as it pleases.'

Standing as the Self.

Standing as the Self means what?

Is to know that one is not the person,
but the field in which everything is happening.
All the happenings of life.
Going through the day.
Persons coming and going,
sounds and smells,
thoughts, feelings
appearing and disappearing.
It all happens in this one Space.
Which is your perception,
your awareness,
which is always there,
right here right now.
Where there is no time,
the everlasting Now.
Which has no beginning and no end.

I AM is ageless, timeless, always here,
will never die.
There is no death.
After all we have no idea what death is.
It is an imagining in the future of the disappearance
of the body, with which we identify.
But right now, here, we do not know what it is.
It is just speculation.
If one is not identified with the body and the mind,
awareness is all there is,
there is no more fear of death.
It becomes something abstract and meaningless.

The naked truth

One has to stand on one's own
completely.
The naked truth of existence,
of who and what we are,
has to be embodied by
oneself alone.
No dependencies possible.
Not all the time leaning back on books,
and websites , and then
somehow hang in there,
as in a pink cloud, where
one feels safe and cozy,
because one knows all the words
and expressions, and yes
during the day one notices
awareness from time to time,
and are we not all great pals.

One has to individualize,
embody it,
stand in the blaze of Unknowing,
without second hand concepts.

Its your face

Whatever is happening
at this particular moment,
it is always happening to you.
It is always you you take to bed, it is
always your face which looks back at you
in the mirror.
In the final analyzes you are the only one
inhabiting your universe.
It's your senses which are smelling
the gardenias or the wet dog.
Your eyes which see the mountains
or the cyclist passing by..
Nobody elses.
The one and only constant in your life
Is this not fascinating ?
This unchanging you-ness
To notice something so close, so you
and recognize it as if for the first time.


In order to see Truth as it is,
there can be no dependency
on anything and anyone.
Face to face with the Truth of what you Are...
Who are you...?
