Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hey guys, do you see us too, me and Mazie in Lover's Lane... I drove about 13.000 miles from Jan 12 to May 16... >From Victoria BC to Halifax NS to Savannah GA... And a whole lot of 'I Love USA' spots in between... Pretty well every place I visited had its... 'Lover's Lane'! And every one of them was connected to every other one... I know it because I drove it, driven as I was to connect all the dots...

Even from the ordinary point of view you sit in your cabin and the ship sails but you do not move. It is the picture that moves on and away.<<< There was nothing too "stationary" about me though, Gloria, moved to move as I was. Or is it just coincidence that we use e-motion when driven by love? Nothing static, nothing stationary, all relating, all relative. Ah, that Einstein guy, he could tell relativity when he saw it. Life is dynamic, its energy is that flow of love, mutuality... Call it shakti, call it rasa, call it sap, call it ambrosia... Amrita Nadi joins us all... I love us, Wim PS Of course Gloria, I know where you are going with what you wrote, but isn't there a bit too much solipsism in this advaita region of ours?

The recipients have to broaden their bandwidth... You are inciting us generously, we need to respond generously. That is the whole idea: stoking the fires of 'generous mutuality'..., not to extinguish ourselves towards a 'lower common demeanour'. (-: ah wim's word play :-) I'm all for a dynamic mutual escalation in this flamin' play of love. Do not get tempted to turn your fire into a pilot flame... and if you need to, do not be afraid to have your pilot flame light a whirling fire under a already burning bush of love. >>> Is this a test, Wim? Or just you teasing me again? <<< My dear Gloria, can you see it like this? I often use what people write to carry me on from there... I cannot help it that people tend to think that there is criticism in my response... If I happen to step on a toe, it is only because I am a poor dancer and that I am not afraid to touch and get touched. >>> I don't know much about solipsism in advaita, but I do think sometimes people can "hear" an overemphasis on transcending the world at the expense of ignoring living. Not much danger of you doing that tho, is there? <<< So wonderfully said, Gloria. My mother used to say that the mysteries of metaphysics are build on the solid foundations of physics... I wonder (remember she so happily passed on last year) how she would have a saying on 'scendance', 'ascendance and 'transcendence' ? I bet you, she would have a whirly dance in there somewhere.

Association with Love leads only to Love. Such association therefore is cherished – in fact it Is the Loving of Love for and by Itself. Along with the little-known practice of actually Loving, and Inquiry into the True Nature of the Lover, such association is more potent than any other so-called spiritual discipline, until all such disciplines are recognized as only the Play of Love. The Blessing Glance that Love bestows makes one who is ready immediately open and empty to receive, devoid of any resistance. Love's Real Nature is the OneHeart Itself. Only. The ordinary person dreams in the brain, unaware of their True Home in the Heart. The Lover lives in the Heart. The Lover is Lived by the Heart, Awakening to constant Whisper of the Heart to Itself. For the Lover, the True Devotee of Love, there is nothing but the Joyful movement of the Formless Heart into all forms and relationships. The Lover has no will. No Choice. All such fantasies have been consumed by the lovely Fire of Love. In the realm some call "this world", the Lover knows that what they see is not separate from the OneHeart in Which all arises and dissolves, Which they realize in the Heart as their own Self, the Real -- Love. Love sees nothing as greater or lesser, higher or lower, better or worse, more or less desirable. All is only Love in their sight. In the state of Love the Lover sees nothing separate from the Beloved – Radiance Divine shining in every direction for the sheer Magnification of Itself in Mysterious Wonder. For the Lover, Love alone IS, and nothing else. By remaining in Communion with Love, the Lover sheds all recoil from Love until such veils drop away completely, revealing That Which Is. In such Humility, Love, Which Is Truth, becomes the Sacrifice Which returns as the Smile, illuminating all that does not Recognize Itself as Love. The Eternal, Immortal Beloved presses so urgently down into mortality as the Love Offering to that which lingers in the forgetfulness of its own True Nature, and how Happy is the Lover to fall into this slipstream of Loving's Bright Song, that all may enjoy the Delight of Love's Homecoming to Itself, the Self of All, the Treasure of the Living Light of Heart-broken Surrender to the deepest Yearning of Being Itself! Jai to the Inextinguishable, this Ever- living Flame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 WIM!! Welcome back! 13,000 miles is indeed a lot of motion. You must get around to sharing some stories of your travels with us. The dervish reaching the stillness while whirling expresses the simultaneity of form is emptiness. As does the unmoved mover Ramana describes. These apparent contradictions are not limiting conditions, are they? Is this a test, Wim? Or just you teasing me again? Anyway, I drove over to my Mom's just to say hi to you. In order to have our carpets cleaned, the computer had to be disconnected and packed up. Aaargh, it's been almost as much trouble as moving. In a few hours, when its dry, everything can go back. Somehow its turned into spring cleaning practically the whole house. Well, I won't bore everyone with more details. Its entirely too beautiful outside to be spending much time inside, either cleaning or typing messages. I don't know much about solipsism in advaita, but I do think sometimes people can "hear" an overemphasis on transcending the world at the expense of ignoring living. Not much danger of you doing that tho, is there? We can say more tonight when I get back online. Btw, sorry about that huge sound file, it won't be done again. I got a lot carried away with the artistic creation there.
