Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 That I would be here on this spot, enjoying this condition, this state of intimacy, of union, was revealed to me long ago, and I never doubted it would be so, and that I would utter words such as these, and that these words are final, and believe it or not, they come from thyself to thyself, as if remote, forgotten, known only to God. Anus Deus Pete " All except God perishes, When I have sacrificed my angel soul, I shall become that which no mind ever conceived. O, let me not exist! for non- existence proclaims, " to Him I shall return. " Rumi [ below continued by Pete below] Return in the night of nothing, as a shadow in the dark, as a forsaken and abandoned goal, as the ashes of hope, as an unfulfilled dead desire, as the forgotten memory of a survival dream. The Pseudo Rumi Pete. " Thus, too there is an authority who says: 'To acomplish the inward act of God, a person must withdraw all his soul's agents, as it were, into a corner of his soul, and conceal himself from all ideas and forms, and then he may do it.' It must be done by means of forgetting and losing self-consciousness. It's in the stillness, in the silence that the word of God is heard. It is to be heard there, as it is-- in that unself- consciousness, for when one is aware of nothing, that word is imparted. " Meister Eckhart [ continued by Pete below] And that Word is as nothing, as the Godhead is nothing, and you must be as nothing to enter it. Not even God or Holy Ghost are admitted to it. So until you are ready to forsake your soul and its eternity, there will be no hearing it, no seeing it, no being it.
