Nature is a Sea of Green
Surrounding the deck
Of the ship that I sit on
Sailing the valley below
Neither advancing
Nor receding.
Everything vibrates effortlessly.
Everywhere. Nowhere.
Am ‘I’ the I
I think I am?
Memories fade.
Images of self
Deceive me.
One stands apart now
Observing the video
Of self and others playing.
An endless loop.
What remains of the ‘me’
I thought I was is pressed inward.
Shadows dancing
In front of a candle
N.B. The fantastic recording was done years later by Lea Weidig, Love of My Life
I Am Luminous
This thin shell
Reveals
The treasures
Within
Look past it all
And see the
Source
No separation
Is the key
Unlocking
Mind to mind
Heart to heart
Essence of
Beyond the beyond
In the here
Now
Do not fear
The Light
Dhiyo Yonaha Prachodayat
Self As Magnet
Every human being is seeking the source and must one day come to it.
We come from Within; we have gone outward and now must return inward
to rid ourselves of the feeling “Is that all there is.”
We have covered ourselves over with thoughts and passions.
To throw them off we must concentrate.
Who is it that goes in and out? Who is it that has thoughts and passions?
It is the I that I think I am. Who am I?
This is Self-enquiry; cooperating with the force that attracts us.
The Self is like a powerful magnet hidden within us.
It draws us gradually to Itself.
When we are near enough it puts an end to our other activities, makes us still
and then swallows up our individual current thus ending our personality.
It overwhelms the intellect and floods the whole being.
We are like iron filings and It is the Self-magnet that is pulling us inwards.
The process of finding Self is a form of divine magnetism.
A powerful attraction.
