Infinitely Mysterious

“This instant is infinitely clear, infinitely mysterious, and has an infinite capacity not to conform to our stories and reasons about why it is the way it is. Here it is, right now, this moment.”

Experience Knows Itself
6 August 2011 18:17 // 0 comment(s) // Posted in Inspiration
“We do not experience a world. We experience experience. But experience is not known by someone or something apart from or other than itself. In other words, experiencing knows itself. Experiencing experiences experience. Experience not only is itself and knows itself but also loves itself, for there is no room in experiencing for an other. Being, knowing and loving….all is that and that is you.”

Smythe’s Illumined Quirkiness

There’s plenty of gorgeously illumined people around, for which I’m immensely grateful.
One who has truly captured my attention lately is Benjamin Smythe; I adore his unique quirkiness, unapologetic honesty and wonderful sense of humour.

When I open my eyes to the outer world
I feel myself as a drop in the sea;
but when I close my eyes and look within,
I see the whole universe
as a bubble raised in the ocean of my heart.

What Do We Talk About Then?

This is an excerpt that I transcribed from one of Adyashanti’s talks, where he speaks a bit about mutual meeting points and ‘being surrender’. It’s something that continues to feel relevant to me – this longing for real, genuine connections; a sense of intimacy and belonging expressed in the dimension of form, in the realm of human experience – and what he says here has a beautiful resonance. ♥
“As human beings we want to communicate, we want to touch in, we want to connect with each other. And one of the things that people really have a difficult time adjusting with is literally how do I connect in with somebody who doesn’t see things the same way as I do? In what place do we have a mutual meeting point?” Continue reading… »

Emptiness Becomes Love

“In the heart of a human being,
emptiness becomes love.
When we touch that Source,
instantly the love is present.
Literally, the divine becomes human
and the human becomes divine.”

Being… Tasting… Chocolate…
8 June 2011 11:02 // 0 comment(s) // Posted in Inspiration
I’m paraphrasing Papaji in saying that most of us don’t want to be chocolate, we want to taste it…
And yet we all are just like wee bits of gorgeous chocolate… vibrant, delicious…100% chocolate no matter our size or shape… incessantly, tracelessly tasting our own bittersweetness… that aweinspiring something-something on the tip of the tongue that can’t be put into words… melting to the touch; the loving touch of the mystery that is life itself…
Being and tasting, neither different nor the same…
♥ :)
Quietly breathing through the bittersweetness of Shiva's tough love; discovering the art of becoming empty, disentangled, being undone... ॐ
ooh!! dharma!! beginning good ... middle good... end good...
