In Focus 2-15-11: "You're Perfect"

"Why Do People "Awaken" But Fail to Achieve the Goal of Enlightenment?"

Children Are Bad For Business

We are already dead

We are already dead. Stone cold dead. The worst has already happened. Now we are free, and THIS is heaven. THIS - present sights, sounds, smells, feelings, all arising spontaneously in the vastness of Being, which was never born and cannot die. Yes, to be dead means to see what is really here, beyond past and future and the dream of yourself. Nothing to fear, sweet dreamer - you are already dead and cannot die again.

Being Present in Relationships

How time flies!

Hey seekers long time no post, Happy New Year, well 2010 was a year of contemplation really, and now a relaxing into the moment. To be at one with the now is just to accept whatever occurs in the now without trying or wishing to change it, this puts space around you, when you do not fight life, life does not fight you. I knew this long ago but only recently put it into practice on a daily basis and wow!
Resistance to anything keeps the thing alive, surrender to everything as it appears is the key to happiness and knowing your true self.

New Beginnings

It's been a while since I posted but I'm still here.
After the glimpse of my true nature and the subsequent return to separation I realise I had become intensely depressed. I was desperate to get back the feeling of being everything I perceived, to the extent of not caring about anything else.
My ego had kicked in again and proclaimed to all who would listen that I was now Enlightened, although I was behaving anything but that.
Then it was like the World said to me "Ok you think your enlightened, take this."
The woman I had partnered and loved for nearly eight years declared her love for another and left. Well I didn't really know what attachment was until that moment, deep, intense suffering followed which I could easily describe as Hell.
My instant reaction was to blame my search for Enlightenment as the catalyst for her leaving me and renounce all spiritual practice, but as the dust settled I realised I was not being true to myself, I knew deep within that this had to happen and in fact I had made it happen for my own spiritual growth.
To avoid the suffering I entered the moment, it was my refuge, in the moment the past and future vanished and with them the suffering.
To be in the moment is like riding a bicycle, the more you do it the easier and more natural it becomes, fears for the future vanish and are replaced by an excitement Now, life is more real without the abstraction of thought processes covering your actual reality and although it is not the state of seeing all things as yourself I had experienced previously, it didn't have to be because life and me were now inseparable!

Through suffering as humans we experience being, I had witnessed this first hand and a question arose in my mind, is this the evolution of mankind, from a consciousness run by mind to a consciousness detached for the most part from mind. A simple leap which engages the flow of life without fighting it, a tree still grows perfectly without using a mind.
What with the credit crunch, wars, disasters, global warming etc etc, is the world causing human suffering for one reason, to wake us from the dream of mind to real life, that of spirit?
The old way seems to be putting up a fight but the harder we're pushed by suffering the more of us awaken to the one true life, then suffering ends, this is not an instant end to suffering more of a gradual shift as we learn to stay focused Now.

Then I thought about 2012 and the end of the long count in the mayan calendar, I had heared it refered to as the end of time! Sounds frightening at first but when in the moment or Now there is no time only Now. Is this gradual shift taking place, gaining momentum over the next three years to a time where there is no time only Now, the jump of human consciousness, will it be like the 100 monkey syndrome ?

Nothing needs to change just our perspective, our level of consciousness but things will change until that is met I feel.

The best thing is that none of this will even concern you when your focused in the moment so save yourself some suffering and loose some thought processes but if you need suffering that's what you'll probably get.

Bless you all

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity"
(Immanuel Kant, 1784).

“The true guru knows you need nothing, not even him.”

“Look. This little finger covers the eye and prevents the whole world from being seen. In the same way this small mind covers the whole universe and prevents Reality from being seen.”
– Ramana Maharshi

Quote

"When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick; every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once."

Francis Lucille: Am I A Separate Consciousness?

Bernie Prior - Conscious Human Evolution

A little poem I wrote

I Am
Sitting here alone,
it feels like i'm home.
Surrounded by myself,
death is seen as one big joke.
Old father time has become a chore,
and alas for him he is no more.
Everything is one,
even the Sun,
and there is nothing to be done anymore.
Being like this is how I exist.
One eye is open watching life unfold,
this is my glorious world.
Surrender to what is to share my bliss,
and you will see that you wrote this.
