I
Found
My
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
Discovered
that
I
am
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
I
Separated
from the
Dreamer,
. . . the dream concluded . . .
No
More
cunning,
Clever
Mr. Schemer!
And,
. . . Now . . .
In
This
Moment
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.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteThat could be a rap
ReplyDeleteor
ReplyDeleteThat could be a wrap
I see, so this is what you add on my post, eh? So there was no dream, but there was the dreamer...
ReplyDeletea nice, enriching point of view.
Thanks, Doug :)
Shinzen, too much like a sermon for you? Maybe a bit too long and tedious . . .
ReplyDelete. . Well, I call it 'The Sermon on The Mount-Blog' . . how's that? I've even got a photo of said Mount-ain for us to undertake the sermon. Perhaps we should go climb it together . . .
Amen ;-P
Ta-Wan,
ReplyDeleteAs usual you've wrapped this one up quite nicely! Thanks :)
Right, Rizal . .
ReplyDeleteYes, interesting isn't it, hm. I wrote this directly after I wrote on your own blog post! I was moved in the moment to expand and adjust as is the 'Way' of the moment!
I found my sojourn through 'truth' to be full of contradiction, paradox and irony . . what say you?
The teachers who made the greatest impact in my life were full of it, in the beginning I definitely struggled to grasp their real message but eventually I moved through the contradiction into that place where it simply left me laughing . .
. . as I realised the truth that lay hidden within their words.
I'm a 'Wayward Yogi' don't you know? Meaning that I'm quirky, full of contradiction and paradox. I can only be what I am, and so it unfolds . . .
Amen x2 :)
Doug: not so much a sermon...the Amen is just one big heartfelt confirmation that you nailed it...in Karate we us the word, 'Osu', and say it loudly...sort of like a porn star screaming 'yes' :D
ReplyDelete:-D
ReplyDeleteShinzen,
I happen to think it is somewhat sermonesq . . if you catch my inference? I have some short and sweet ones lined up though . . with the odd 'Amen' moment thrown in of course!
You really didn't need to reply, I was being quirky, that's my way, but I do appreciate everything you say :)
OSUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
So much more than a simple 'to thine own self be true' it was a call to face and embrace. I like it.
ReplyDelete...And Doug, thanks for the kind words of encouragement you left on my blog. It means a lot.
Warm regards,
Simone
Yes Simone, face and embrace is correct. It's a call to arms . . Arjuna goes to war with his enemies in the name of Krishna! The war is already raging, it's just that most people have lost 'sight' of the battlefield . . . meanwhile their souls are slowly dieing . . .
