The Balance : Pure Silence and Everything Else!

 

Even though you have finally realized the gentle space within,

the pure silence of awareness this second, you might come eventually

to a self imposed question, a question based on years of being

conditioned by this world - "so now what, what good does this do me,

how can this help my human life with it's myriad of relationships,

situations and problems? Or simply can this and a dollar buy me a

beer?" It's really a very simple answer and only if you have truly

experienced itfor yourself can you even begin to understand. Having

realized your silence, you have found freedom, you have found the

real You. Now you no longer fixate with the possibility that you are

just a body, just a collection of thoughts, reactions and emotions.

You are no longer controlled by events with a necessity to react to

them. Therefore as situations arise, negative or positive, you begin

to see things very clearly as they are and instead of identifying

with a "you" that is reacting, you simply breath in the moment, allow

it to come, stay a while and then disappear. The "You" that you are

is not affected. The serenity within is not stirred. In words from A

Course in Miracles, "the real can no longer be threatened." Thus you

find the true balance in life between being and doing, living and

dying, yin and yang, silence and everything else. You are not drawn

into the karma of conflict for you can see that those things which

happen, no matter what, cannot touch the core of who you are, the

pure silent awareness itself. To discover this and really live this

each and every moment is the simple joy of being alive. This joy is

your very being. You can return to it again and again because this is

your natural state. This state is peaceful and gentle and free. This

is the beginning of your heaven on earth and in the words of a wise

one, "against this heaven, the gates of hell can not prevail."

Always love!

Hagakure doesn't yelp!

 

Hey, wait:

 

We don't have a cat!

 

These words are enough to calm one

as much as any sensual fulfillment, and

bring the fevers to rest.

 

The 82,000 subtle nerves relax into This.

 

No more kundalini tremors will trouble

This Peace.

 

No Makyo, no phantom of fright will return

from the dentist, ready for another chewy meal.

 

Kriyas break out laughing, raise their hands, and

throw in the towel.

 

Shiva and Shakti share a smoke.

 

It's just what it is.

 

There are no words for such words!

You do not have any problems,

 

only your body has problems...

 

In your world, nothing stays,

 

in mine nothing changes.
