Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Having "awakened" from a deep sobhet with Iiskg, The first thing Senaldit saw was soft branches Arching overhead, and they were moving gently In the still, blue sky surrounding everything In a brightness that was nothing less Than "otherworldly." Something spoke from somewhere, yes, And it came from the Reindeer standing over them. It vibrated, resonated, ommmed, not from someplace Outside of Senaldit and Isikg, but from inside them. And not "inside" them as if in a particular place in the body, But everywhere outside was inside and inside was all the outside. They communed silently with, as and in the Reindeer, With, as and in the blue sky, With, as and in the white, vast snowy expanse Surrounding the infinite, with, as, and in the infinite in a quiet, green patch of Light mirroring the universe as an ideal concept for OneHeart. The idea was to manifest as Love, with, as and in OneHeart. Senaldit and Iiskg still breathe God, Still Breathe clear Light, Still Breathe in One another. OneHeart is Mystery Most Sublime! The Mystery of the Reindeer Trees Is the breath of frost I feel now, incanted from "That Thou Art," 9,000 years ago when the wild mystic wearing nothing but a thin robe came into our Conversation with Fire and Smoke. We sang Gypsy bhajans in Saami before there were gypsies. We were lifted by the Hand of God, Bodies became ash and cinder – Shiva’s tinder, the tender Hearts of Senaldit and Iiskg. The Sat Tat Om came home when we disappeared. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, 9,000 years from now, What remains after the Mystery Answers Itself? Only Love, silent, in Perpetual Harmony with Love, silent. ~Mitzvah In the early morning hour,just before dawn, lover and beloved wakeand take a drink of water.She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more?Really, tell the absolute truth."He says, "There's nothing left of me.I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise.Is it still a stone, or a worldmade of redness? It has no resistanceto sunlight."This is how Hallaj said, I am God,and told the truth!The ruby and the sunrise are one.Be courageous and discipline yourself.Completely become hearing and ear,and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.Work. Keep digging your well.Don't think about getting off from work.Water is there somewhere.Submit to a daily practice.Your loyalty to thatis a ring on the door.Keep knocking, and the joy insidewill eventually open a windowand look out to see who's there. ~Rumi "Before" does not outstrip Him,"after" does not interrupt Him"of" does not vie with Him for precedence"from" does not accord with Him"to" does not join with Him"in" does not inhabit Him"when" does not stop Him"if" does not consult with Him"over" does not overshadow Him "under" does not support Him"opposite" does not face Him"with" does not press Him"behind" does not limit Him"previous" does not display Him"after" does not cause Him to pass away"all" does not unite Him"is" does not bring Him into being"is not" does not deprive Him from Being.Concealment does not veil HimHis pre-existence preceded time,His being preceded non-being,His eternity preceded limit.If thou sayest 'when', His existing has outstripped time;If thou sayest 'before', before is after Him;If thou sayest 'he', 'h' and 'e' are His creation;If thou sayest 'how', His essence is veiled from description;If thou sayest 'where', His being preceded space;If thou sayest 'ipseity' (ma huwa),His ipseity (huwiwah) is apart from things. Other than He cannotbe qualified by two (opposite) qualities atone time; yet With Him they do not create opposition.He is hidden in His manifestation, manifest in His concealing. He is outward and inward,near and far; and in this respect He isremoved beyond the resemblance of creation.He acts without contact,instructs without meeting,guides without pointing.Desires do not conflict with Him,thoughts do not mingle with Him:His essence is without qualification (takyeef),His action without effort ~Al-Hallaj Mansur Let us talk about prayer later. Now then, what exactly is this 'God' you are talking about? Is he not the very consciousness -- the sense of 'being' that one has -- because of which you are able to ask questions? 'I am' itself is God. What is it that you love most? Is it not this 'I am', the conscious presence which you want to preserve at any cost? The seeking itself is God. In seeking you discover that 'you' are apart from this body-mind complex. If you were not conscious, would the world exist for you? Would there be any idea of a God? And, the consciousness in you and the consciousness in me -- are they different? Are they not separate only as concepts, seeking unity unconceived, and is that not love?Also remember, there can can be no proof of Reality other than being it. Indeed you are it, and have always been. Consciousness leaves with the end of the body (and is therefore time-bound) and with it leaves the duality which is the basis of consciousness and manifestation. ~Sri Nisargatta Maharaj LoveEternalProtect your PC - Click here for McAfee.com VirusScan Online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
