night-

love
As the darkness of the night - even were it to last a thousand years - could not conceal the rising sun - so countless ages of conflict and suffering - cannot conceal the innate radiance of MIND. Tilopa (10th century)

sky song

clouds touch earth and the sky today
what is the mist that touches the earth?
what opens to reflect the rays of the Sun?
the sky song resonates of limitlessness kindness
see how beings watch the sky and listen -
allowing their being evolve to fly free
and just as the sun loves the sky -
so do we open...
for a show, a play of an endless panorama
of poetic healing sounds and pictures -
enchanted words of magic
and beautiful songs of power
gently carry you
into YOU

learning came to answer a question

Buddhism and Sháuṋkara Philosophy

All Ástika or theistic Indian philosophies unanimously believe that Átman or unit consciousness is a continuous flow of Jiṋána or knowledge. This is called Vijiṋána in Páli. There is a continuous flow of Jiṋána, or in other words Jiṋána itself is a flow (Praváha). Every object in the universe has its own flow and wave or dynamic force. According to Yoga philosophy Paramátman or Supreme Consciousness is an infinite flow of Jiṋána.

Ekaḿ jiṋánam nityamádantashúnyamNányat kiḿcit varttate vastu satyam;Tayor bhedo’smin indriyopádhiná vaeJiṋánasyáyam bhásate nanyathaeva. –Shiva Saḿhitá

Lord Buddha did not use the word Átman, hence there was a difference of opinion among the Bhikksus or Buddhist monks after his death. Three conferences were held to compile the Tripitaka or Buddhist scriptures and as a result the Tripitáka was compiled in three parts in Páli – Vinaya Pitáka or the practical side, Suttapitaka or the theoretical side and Abhidhamma Pitaka or the philosophical side.

All of these parts combined together were known as the Tripitaka and were called the Buddhist scriptures. The Bhikhus who patronized or supported the Sannyása Márga or the path of renunciation were not prepared to accept anything more than what was laid down in the Tripitaka, and hence they were called Sthavirávádii or Theravádii, the southern school of Buddhism. Those who were influenced by the Nyáya school of philosophy were called Mahásáḿghika or the northern school of Buddhism.

The word Páli originated from Pallii which means “rural”, rustic or unsophisticated. As Bhagaván Buddha preached in the language of common people, Hindu scholars called his language Bhákhá. Páli was also known as Páli Bháśa. The common people could not follow Saḿskrta which was the language of scholars only.

Later on the Mahásáḿghikas called themselves Maháyánii and they called the Sthaviravádiis Hiinayánii. But the Hiinayániis called themselves Theravádii. In India there was no state backing for Hiinayániis except at the time of the rulers Kaniska, and Vasiska, and hence the Hiinayána did not flourish. The Maháyána had state backing so it naturally had a larger number of followers. The philosophy of the Hiinayániis was preached in Ceylon, Burma, Siam, Java and Borneo, etc., whereas the philosophy of the Maháyániis was propagated in India, Siberia, Japan Tibet, etc.

There are four kinds of philosophical doctrines among the Maháyániis. The reason for this difference of opinion is Átman and its object. Bhagaván Buddha used the word “Attá” in Páli for Átman. The word Attá is also used in place of “Self”. The Bhikkhus could not understand the sense in which Bhagaván Buddha used the word Attá.

unusual grace and a sharing-beyond words

1. Chakra - Muladhara
We sensed the first chakra at the end if the spinal cord 2 inches from the anus. Here we envisioned the beloved gently caressing the Kundalini awake, the "force" of creation. We sang 5-minutes kiirtan and let her get up and stretch out.

2. Chakra - Svadishan
We are walking with the Beloved, whoever that is for you through the watery fields and we feel so close. we observe the moon in the water. Then we sang 5 minutes kiirtan to that chakra to open it.

3. Chakra - Manipura
We tell our friend everything, our secrets and nothing is hidden and we converse gently with each other, sharing everything. Then we sang 5 minutes kiirtan to that chakra to let it unfold. It is located at the spine behind the navel.

4. Chakra - Anahata
Here we just look at each other, and we share sweetest pure love without words in the most subtle way... Then we sing 5 minutes kiirtan to that chakra to let the mantra unfold awareness.

5. Chakra - Vishuddha
Here we feel as if we are twins. Our Beloved is so like us almost is us. We hardly can differentiate between each other and we do not know what separates us. We sang Kiirtan to our "Twin Beloved" for 5 minutes. The chakra is right at the Adama's apple above at the triangle in men but behind it.

6. Chakra - Ajna
Our body becomes or is the universe and every thought we think manifests. We are everybody and there us only "1".... not any second or other.... no I feeling any longer. We sang 5 minutes kiirtan to let this chakra blossom

7. Chakra Sahasrar
Here we are beyond shape, color, sound, and are pulled out. One step forward and we become pure awareness, one step backward and we continue to create though our thoughts. Which way do we go? You step forward and let yourself be pulled into... we sang kiirtan to this chakra for 5 minutes and some people fall into Samadhi...

"Nityam shuddham' nira'bha'sam' nira'ka'ram' nirainjanam Nityabodham' cida'nandam' Gururbrahma nama'myaham."
To that eternal, pure, unconceivable, formless, absolutely unblemished, omniscient, blissful Brahma, as Guru, I offer my salutations.

devotion is1

However hard I try to forget Him,
I am unable to do so.
My earnestness increases day by day
and the creeper of love becomes ever livelier.
The sky and ocean join together
to tell me to secretly speak about Him.
This restlessness,
so full of agony,
I am unable to forget.
The creeper whispers
into the ears of the stormy wind
that it is not the time for keeping quiet.
In dream,
sleep and alertness,
You convey to me
that unwritten sweetness.
(song in Bengali no 005 by Baba)

love - which cannot be known like this or talked about

The spiritual female today... teaches of Oneness and Goodness. Her journey is one of unity in diversity... above all, she teaches of that love which cannot be talked about. ♡

it is not this today but appreciated

D.H. Lawrence, his poem “Healing”:

I am not a mechanism, an assembly
of various sections.
And it is not because the mechanism
is working wrongly, that I am ill.
I am ill because of wounds to the
Soul, to the deep emotional self.
And the wounds to the Soul take a
long time, only time can help.
And patience, and a certain
difficult repentance, long
difficult repentance, realization
of life’s mistake, and the freeing of oneself
from the endless repetition of the mistake
which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.

"At an emotional level one learns to operate in a way that filters out the extremes of depression and excitement. In summary, one acts to progressively remove all cognitive and emotional bias from one's experience. While these directives are given prominence in the Complete Fulfillment tradition, a related set of parameters occurs in the original teachings of Buddhism which recommends that we avoid being driven by the eight worldly aspirations; namely, loss and gain, pain and pleasure, fame and disrepute, praise and denigration." (Peter)

offered with love anyway,,,

The principal assumption of deconstructive contemplation is that reality is created through our beliefs. This assumption allows us to see the constructed nature of our experience. This is an assumption which is itself deconstructed - leaving "reality-as-it-is". So in the final analysis, deconstructive contemplation is a "non-event". As the Perfect Wisdom (Prajnaparamita) tradition of Buddhism says, it is a radical teaching that is openly presented as a non-teaching. However, for as long as we figure that there is something we need to do, deconstructive contemplation fits the bill, for some at least, as a sophisticated tool for recovering that which we can neither gain nor lose. by Peter

Any genuine solution to our problem with lack involves overcoming this way of thinking about time and realizing something about the nature of the here and now. A spiritual life involves learning how to live in the here and now—and we’ve never been anywhere else, of course—rather than always living with reference to the future. On the other hand, we don’t want to get rid of time, either. In Zen practice there’s a paradox. On the one hand, we’re completely perfect right here and now. There’s nothing lacking in me or in the world right now, there’s absolutely nothing to gain, nowhere that we have to go. And yet, in order to realize that and, even more, in order to live in that way, we often have to engage in extraordinarily intensive practice. So, we’re trying to live in the present, but there’s a certain future orientation in the sense that most of us have to follow a spiritual path in order to realize that there’s absolutely nothing lacking now. If you just say, “Oh, I’m just here and now,” it doesn’t work. You need a practice in order to realize that here and now, otherwise we just get diverted, the mind becomes unfocused and wanders. And yet, if you become preoccupied with what you have gained or want to gain from that practice, then you lose what it is that you’re practicing for. Exactly the same paradox is true for socially engaged spirituality. Personally and socially we need both sides of it: The world is perfect just as it is now, and yet it also calls desperately for radical action. That paradox can’t be resolved in an intellectual or rational way, but it can be resolved in our practice, in how we actually live our lives. We need to realize something wholly healing about the here and now at the same time as we’re trying to develop in a fruitful direction. Does that make any sense? D. Loyconsciousness plays a melody of highest and deepest love
the music of the stars dance to the bend of the rainbow
the sound of the wind blows across the ocean to touch the sky
the whispers the calm song charges at the darkness of nights
flowers are and always will be the breathing heart of awareness

"Love is our true essence. Love knows no barriers of caste, religion, race and nationality. We are all beads strung on the same thread of love." Amma
watch goodness in action from life to life.

let it be...

bathe in the ground of your being
awareness simply allows
thoughts of love, life, peace,
but also of sadness, grief, and anger
all IS allowed to come, be and go
the ocean of life paints its own waves
surrounded by consciousness
all waves calm down naturally

"Everything is practice...
a continuous cycle of
...ceaseless transformation" (Yogi)

Liberate through satisfaction of mantra directed towards a chakra collectively

Here is my workshop on Samadhi.
 
Description of a workshop on emotions:

In the process of meditation, everyone has experienced the bubbling up of past thoughts and experiences which are often labeled distractions. However, all the thoughts that arise during meditation were created by us in the past. We have created them by our feeling of individuality, our sense of personal responsibility and our expectation of reward. Mantra circles are a means to move beyond self-imposed limits. In the past each thought was created hoping that it would satisfy our thirst for limitlessness. Different kinds of thoughts (and feelings) are associated with each cakra. The thoughts are still waiting, expecting to receive that satisfaction. The only way to satisfy every thought is by giving each thought, as it arises, the full energy of the mantra so it also can be liberated. When all of our thoughts are liberated, the "I" will also be liberated. Sitting in a circle, meditators sing the mantra directing the energy of the mantra, helping each other liberate their thoughts and facilitating every individual's progress. (By Dada Prana)

understand love - understand nothing and all

"That feeling of love must be understood and then love will unfold itself. Love for the Self, this consciousness, ‘I am’, those who have understood this as the true love, have themselves become love. All has merged in them." Nisargadatta

Lords Prayer, from the original Aramaic!
Prayers of the Cosmos

O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos
Focus your light within us - make it useful.
Create your reign of unity now-
through our fiery hearts and willing hands
Help us love beyond our ideals
and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.
Animate the earth within us: we then
feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.
Untangle the knots within
so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.
Don't let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.
Out of you, the astonishing fire,
Returning light and sound to the cosmos.

Amen...

awareness is not talk

arisen from awareness
breathe in an all loving energy
this spirit can not be broken
it moves faster than the wind
moves beyond the golden Sun
within this presence
inhale a universe of gold
the part of it
which remains invisible
and can nowhere be found
not in thoughts...
nor words...
...emotion
...attraction...
...conditioning...
...concepts...
...this love...
is always there
in all that you are
watch the sky at the early morning day break
and bathe in the song of silvery sun-rays
look how the new days Sun
matches the inner rising Sun
listen to the new song
there is nowhere to go
nowhere to expand into
nothing to do
nowhere to be
but Here
everything is ready
everything is being done
to go nowhere
is
to be truly
HERE

...create universal openings through sound and dance!

intimite

meditate as the wind rushes through
expand your being to open
space embraces your heart - but hear
how new music echoes and unfolds
into a new song of the heart
the melody once forgotten
came back to life after a million years
no one knows how it came through to you
that place of causing the subtle expression
how can it be named and where can it be found?
except in our concepts, thoughts and condition
NOW - we see each other through the open eyes
of deep sea awareness... living in this way...
...we are in everything
and nowhere in particular... all at once
but NOW awareness wants to flow
in and through your clear sea hearts song
in this is embedded the seed of a benevolence
and the deep ocean of love and compassion
which takes in all situations - to be...
...intimate with

writing without thinking

pure awareness
unconditional presence
supreme consciousness
whatever you name the
un-nameable
is that which we are
which includes everything
every wave arises and falls
every thought and emotion is part
of the whole
we can observe and not act
and in this way control
the uncontrolled as..
awareness can't be controlled
life lives itself
aware and unaware
suffering and happiness
all happens

and accept and offer

opening to all there is

create

in the cosmic ocean there is a kingdom of healing
from an unidentified place we cannot find
we listened to music of the spheres and we drink
that which cannot be identified
our thoughts paint galaxies
as we plant healing meadows
new songs are carried across the sky
our collective being creates music together
and creation becomes through the words we choose
with every song - we create new worlds
and in all of that creation
our own being is is small and large
and when we look for it
our life is nowhere to be found
we look for ourselves in the meadows
in the flowers, in the trees and the sky
and find nothing but vast empty space
our own being is always beyond reach
and so vast and wild and ever so free
our thoughts about life and love creates duality
but we can dress duality with the awareness of unity
and in every moment we plant new seeds
let them arise in any old way
but then, we also can plant highest love
and benevolence
