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."

1y:)gi2many

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 . . .

Purvana



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.

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.
