A Wiser Shade of Yoda

Polarities Of The Mind

You have to laugh at the whole
Dark and Light Side
Storyline

as
Portrayed in the
Movie
Star Wars;

Good against Evil!!! 

. . . they are opposites,
 or polarities . . .

. . . for example,

Likes and dislikes, rights and wrongs

Are

Conditioned attitudes, beliefs and opinions
of

The
Thinking Mind.

One polarity,

by its very existence within the
Mind of Man,

and
Therefore

by
Default,

Creates the other.

The realization of

A

Greater

Reality-Truth-Integrity

of

Being

Immediately moves one to a point of 

Equilibrium

Where all

Opposites or Polarities

are moved
Beyond

and

The
Fact or Truth

of
Any given situation is seen to
Simply 
be

or
It could be said that

Truth

Simply

is.

***

" Wise is he who walks on neither the dark nor light side.

In truth neither exist, 

for truth transcends all pairs of opposites."

A wiser shade of Yoda!

I Am

"Where 

'I Am'

There is 

Nowhere else

to

be,

For where 

'I Am'

I

Am

Centered

In

Divine Reality.

Therefore,

Everything
Unfolds
Perfectly"

1yogi2many

'I Am' is the natural state of being.
It is what I, the individual reading this now, am . . .

 . . . before the notion of separation creates division within the mind of wo/man
(initially during childhood).
There is no separation, no division, all is being, all is the state 'I Am'.
All is the oneness of divine reality.

Separation and division are the illusion of the thinking mind.
The thinking mind is conditioned by the past.
Move beyond the thinking/conditioned mind and what is realised is the
natural and original state:

I Am
Oneness
Liberation
Unity
Harmony
Love
Nirvana
Peace
Heaven
Being
Tao

All
is realised
as one pristine package,
the
Perfection
of
Present Moment Awareness,
Right
Here and Now.

Lost in Actuality

"Individuality

 Is just an

Illusion

of

Personality,

Lost

In

Actuality;

Detached from

The
Greater

Reality-Truth-Integrity

of

Being in
Me."

1ygi2many

Note: Actuality is your actual experience here in existence. It is what is actually happening in your external life, but it should not be confused with reality. The word 'act' is central to actuality; it is the act or play of everyday life.

I Know Not What

Sojourning

through

a

lifetime

of

Yearning.

She
Seeks

a

certain

. . . Je ne sais quoi . . .

Amidst

the

Minds

Deceiving
Troughs
and
Peeks . . .

. . . Whilst

her

Soul

Burns,
She
Perceptively
Feels . . .

. . . She
Sleeps.

Yet

The World

keeps

Turning

. . . turning . . .

Every morning
Waking,

. . . returning . . .

STOP!

Her

Stomach

Churns,

and

yet,

The World

Still

Turns.

. . . How can this be so,
she yearns to know . . .

Who am I?
Why am I here?
What is life's meaning . . .

. . . her mind
is
Still
Teeming
with
Circling Thoughts,
Inner Conversations,
And that
Deceptive Imagination;
Created
by
Her
Thinking Minds
Hallucination.

The
Regurgitation
of
a
Lifetime Past . . .

. . . into
Present Moment
Cast . . .

On
Horizontal
Thought Lines,

Yes,

Thinking
is
of
Past Times.

The last moment,

Yesterday,

NOT
Let go of,

Is
Imposed . . .

On
This
Present Moment,

And
is
Ready

to be . . .

Disposed
Of.

Now,

. . . she lets go . . .

As we were having so much fun on my

last post I thought a little more of

the same was called for.

OK, it's not my

normal posting

style, but

        I'm  . . .

. . . still enjoying the innocent state

of my Inner-sense!

1laughing-yogi2few

:-D

Childlike Inner-Sense

You
will

Return

to

Your
Childlike

Innocence

the

Day
You

 Realise

Your
Deeper
Inner-Sense.

The One Truth

There

is

Nothing New

Under the

Sun,

Truth

is

Truth;

The One!

The Death of Mr. Schemer

I

Found
My

Awakening

to

Simply

be,

a

Beginning,

a

Flowering

of

. . . Divinity . . .

Truth

was

. . . blossoming . . .

I

Was

Unfolding.

Eventually

I

Realised

that

I

was

. . . Not . . .

Emerging

from a

. . . Dream . . .

I
Discovered

that

I
am

Reality,

The

Real

I

Resides

here,

. . . Perfectly . . .

Existence,

you see,

is just my

. . . Actuality . . .

Yes,

It's

Actually

Happening

from

Inside of

Me . . .

. . . manifesting,

from within,

. . . externally . . .

The

Illusion

is the

Conditioned Self,

The

Personality;

. . . the dreamer . . .

The

One

who thinks

Discursively,

Reacting Emotively,

. . . it is egotistically deluded . . .

. . . for . . .

When
I

Separated

from the

Dreamer,

. . . the dream concluded . . .

No

More

cunning,

Clever

Mr. Schemer!

And,

. . . Now . . .

In
This
Moment

What

Remains

?

The real ‘I’.

The still mind.

A body in existence.

. . . being . . .

And

That is

The End

of

The Scheming Self's

Resistance.

1yogi2many

One Moment of Ignorant Bliss

. . . hold on a mo . . .

Oops,

There is only

One

Moment . .

. . But

It appears to

This

Conditioned Mind,

Of

Yours and

Mine,

As a chain of

Moments,

Known by some as . . .

 Time.

This

One

Resplendent

Moment

Is,

Independent,

Pure and Clear

It

Stands Alone.

Come

Realisation

Of it,

Original Sin . .

. . it does

Atone.

Every 'Seeming' Moment

Is

Already Perfect

exactly

As it is,

 This Moment has

Meaning,

Regardless

of

Interpretation.

It does,

Yes,
Even if

in

This Moment

Your Life seems

a

Mess! 

Can

Perfection

Be

Improved

Upon?

. . . No . . .

Not even

For those still

Lost

In

Separations

    Throng . . .

. . . for they

Have done nothing

Wrong.

Most

Live

In

Thoughtful

and

Emotional

Madness,

Not knowing

The

Eternal Moment,

Their lives are

Filled with

misery,

Suffering . .

. . Sadness.

One can only

be

What one

is . .

. . . tell me . . .

. . is ignorance Bliss?

1ignorantly-blissful-yogi2Many

 Don't try to work this poem out. Just read it. Let it be what it is.

Let the words wash over you like a

refreshing shower of rain

on an otherwise

sweltering

day.

. . . on the other hand you might make a comment, 

it'll only take a mo . . . 

Happy 'Tongue in Cheek' New Year

I said . . .

Simply
Be

In the

Moment

Here and Now,

That is all

You

Have to do . . .

. . . Somehow.

Somehow?

Yes,

Simply

Be

Just like

Me.

But How;

How do I

be

Just like

Thee? 

. . . she asked, earnestly . . .

Like thee?
Oh,
You mean like
Me . .

. . I see . . .

Ah,

Well working that out is the

Trick;

You could go to a

Zen Master,

And

Get hit with a

Stick?

Zazen?

That's the  

way?

Should I

Take that path

Today?

For some,

'The way it may be'

But probably not;
Ultimately.

So then,

not

Zazen?

. . . Maybe . . .

. . . but maybe . . .

Not,

Although I'm told
The Stick
Doesn't hurt

A lot.

How much?

I

Don't Know

It's not a

Way

That I would

Go!

So?

So?
Yes,
Well maybe sit and
Meditate,
Speed up your
Intelligence
at an alarming
Rate?

How

Alarmed

Should I be?

. . . he, he, don't ask me . . .

But I was told that you are a

Guru?

Sorry,
Me a
Who'ru?

You know,

A

Guru,

A

Teacher

A

Master?

Me a Master?
Excuse me, are you on
Drugs?
Doing that would be a
Disaster!

. . . we were smiling, there was laughter . . .

No

I'm not on drugs

But I

Seek to know,

To discover

Truth:

Where should I go?

Ahh,
A seeker are
You,
Want to know that
Which is
true?

Yes that's right

I sincerely

do.

Well
The truth my dear
is
Inside of
You.
There is nowhere to
Go
There is nothing to
Do,
This much I promise,
Sincerely,
Is
True.

Truth is not found
Out There

. . . somewhere . . .

Truth
 Is
Your
Reality,
That is why I say
All
You have to do is
Be .  .  .


.  .  .  Yes,
Be

Centered in
Be-ing
Just like
Me.

. . . she looked quizzically . . .
 
Bring your
attention
Into the
Here and Now:

See
What there is to see,
Hear
What there is to hear,
Feel
What there is to feel,
You can
Be
In the
Now,
Fully Present,
Even in the
Midst of a
Row . . .

. . . oh dear, she exclaimed, this is so confusing,

I just don't know how, my mind is

refusing. . .

Live in
Present Moment Awareness,
For
Only now is
Real.
Be
Where your
Body
is
And do it with
Zeal!

. . . I smiled at her, and she smiled back,
She could see through my eyes,
that truth isn't white or black . . . 

The
Enemy
Is thought you
see,
It moves in your Psyche
Discursively.
It
Doesn't want you to simply
Be.

The
Thinker
wants to remain
Your
Master
And so it makes you
Think
Faster
and
Faster
Like a
Chattering Chimpanzee,
or a
Squaking Parrot
In its
Tree . . .

. . . making you
Unhappy.

Filling you up with
Emotional reactivity . . .

. . . but
That is not your
Reality . . .

. . . all you
Seek
Is
To be free?

. . . oh yes, she sighed, I long for this,

such liberation would be bliss . . .

Good,
Then keep
Bringing your
Attention
Into
The Flow
Of
this
Moment,
for an
Extension
of the
Unknown;
and you will
Discover
what is
Truly
Important.

. . . that is all you have to do for
Now . . .

. . . somehow . . .



1Tongue-in-cheek-Yogi2Many

Happy New Year to all who pass this way, and remember now, it's not what you know that's important, it's what you've forgotten . . . if only you could remember what it was!

She seeks it here,

She seeks it there;

But what she seeks,

Is already everywhere.

If she lets go,

And so, simply 'is';

She will discover,

Eternal life's perfect bliss.
