Mostly letters and poems for sincere spiritual listeners

To celebrate life is to forget yourself—to die to the notions of Past and Future. May you know that you and this moment are not two, that this here and now is all that is and will continually be.

In listening, listen only to what is being said.
In reading, read only what is written.
Avoid painting anything with the conditioning of the mind. awareness and openness help.

In other words, this;
"What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing." - C.S. Lewis

Your consciousness and my consciousness are not two. The human Mind doesn’t want to feel the responsibility for any tragedy it causes, but the Mind and its self-centric activity consistently contribute to all kinds of catastrophes we see anywhere.

We continue to live in our denial of participation conveniently, taking support from elaborate theories and concepts to uphold the idea so that we don’t have to face ourselves, feel responsible, or act rightly with presence.

But truly, only when the Mind exceeds its idea of the self, even a little, can there be genuine concern & understanding, and in the sincere presence of the same, there can only be full involvement & action committed to resolving any and all predicaments beyond the play of words.

Our actions inevitably change and reorient to love when we begin to understand that our sorrows and confusions are the same.

Peace, kindness, and love are the most fundamental states accessible to us most naturally and need not be made into the pinnacle of attainment, especially as human beings.

The only prerequisite is to have an awareness sharper than thought and thinking. Seeing precedes all movements.

All your life you have worried about what you could get out of Life, out of something or someone often trying to guard yourself worrying that you might give too much. For a change, start thinking of what you can give and give actually without necessarily identifying as the giver.

The most profound thing to do is to truly enjoy being alive and not keep thinking about yourself indulging your own images of yourself looking at yourself as a thing, an idea—all thought really. It’s all old and dead stuff everything you think about while Life is only here & now.

All theories both affirm and negate themselves based on the perceiver. They have no value in and of themselves. Truth is the end of the perceiver (or to rephrase the realization of the absence of a perceiver). what we seek is its end which is possible only immediately in the Now and not at some point located in Time.

Time is continuation. Now is the end of the continuation at which point there is only Life, Truth, Awareness etc (whatever one might call it) leading to the cessation of all distinctions such as real and unreal, dream and awake states, transient and eternal etc.

It just is.

Freedom is the freedom to be anything anywhere—no interference from thought, no desire for anything to be any other way than it is including the thought of things to be otherwise.

All’s welcome and accepted. Any action from this place is not rooted in divided Thought but is rather just Life moving undivided as everything.

With all its multilayeredness, all is just THAT. No further divisions are necessary. That said, all of that is just THAT too.

keep it simple.

Perceive without a centralized focal point that is if you really want to perceive. In other words, abandon views, opinions, images, all mental positions and ideas whatsoever that taint the eyes. Hold no center. There is no ground either way. Let the Mind run free. You will be more than fine.
