Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Thank you for the invite to this place. Having read a number of messages the inspiration arose to write and share this with the members here, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writting it as then we shall both rest in the Heart from whence it arose. Thank you again for the invite to share in your temple. Namaste Bodhi Avasa. 13/2/02. Within each man and woman on this planet there is both the male AND the female aspect of energy and it is the constant apparent imbalance of these two trying to harmonise themselves with one another that gives rise to their offspring, creation. Within each form, both human and animal and the lesser forms, the dance of Shakti/Shiva is endlessly taking place and each dance spins out a web of energy which joins and mingles with the webs of energy that are produced by other forms. These then mingle. As do drops of water become a mighty ocean, they become the dance of the Almighty who is neither male nor male and yet appears as both. There is no "YOU" within all of this, LOOK,take a real good look, no "I" will ever be found even if one searches for a million eons, and "I" have, never once have "I" found anything other than Emptiness. Shakti knows no concept of "I" nor does her consort Shiva, these apparent two know the Truth of this manifest appearance, they know they are not two, not even the One, not even the Zero. Out of Emptiness this whole eternal play arises for no reason or purpose, it is the play of Parabrahman, the One who knows its Self to be all and all to be its Self. That which is and yet is not, Zero, splits itself into two and duality appears, the dance of Shakti/Shiva. In the beginning there is nought, not even nothing, then something mysterious takes place, so mysterious that even IT does not have the answer to HOW what takes place does so. The two appear simultaneously, the first vibration AUM, The Light, appears everywhere in that moment. As this vibration plays, within itself its variations appear as the different sounds and colours that create the wonderful illusion in time and space that we experience as the universe. Our thoughts and feelings, all our experiences are no other than this Aum in its various appearances. There is no individual to be found within all this for all is the play of the ONE , all is the weft and the weave , the flow and ebb of the SELF which knows its Self to be Nothing. To know this as the Truth of oneself is to be free to enjoy and celebrate each passing moment, if there was or is a reason for creation to appear then this is it, enjoyment and celebration which arise from the LOVE of Being. Shiva is the male energy and Shakti the female within these forms, the positive and the negative, the yin and the yang, The one without the other cannot exist and therefore Nothing would exist and as Nothing cannot be said to exist neither can it not exist. The Mystery. Within the mind of the human condition the male arises as the intellect and the female as the intuition. When these are equally in balance within that being there is true understanding of the way of things but in the majority this is not the case and to these ones all appears to be separate, duality. The result of living within this concept is that "The One" lives as "the one" and the result of living this case of mistaken identity is suffering. When suffering takes place within that form its energies spin out into the universe as an outward pattern of the blueprint from the mind from which they have been created. Such a being sees in a fragmented way that which, in fact, is Always in harmony when seen globally, from Awareness. The answer to all suffering, which is the inability to dance each millisecond of time in gratefulness for having existed, is to SEE that YOU are the Awareness that stands in unchanging observation of all that is arising. There is only ONE and you are that One, Shiva and Shakti are your offspring , they are the first vibrations that YOU give rise to when thinking occurs, all creation follows! Each morning when "I" or "YOU" awake Nothingness dons the clothing, the mind, and you awake to the world. "I" and "the world" appear simultaneously. Prior to this dualistic appearance is consciousness, conscious of itself as consciousness, the One. Prior to that is the Emptiness that knows not even its Self. Without creation how could I know who I am? Without my reflection what would point me back to the Empty mirror and beyond? Use well this that you have created from your own Being and realise who you are, perhaps this was the reason and purpose that I appear as form, to realise who or what I AM and to abandon all reason and purpose Having realised this, what remains but to dance the dance of the Shiva/Shakti? To enjoy and celebrate, to LOVE, grateful for having come into Being. Namaste Bodhi Avasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
