Hay-Ku of the Day ("The Child Within Us Lives")

"The Child Within Us
Lives" as the "Presence of the
Awareness" I Am

"The Child Within Us
Lives" as the Pure "Awareness
Of Being" You Are.

***

Sandy's a "Living
Love Letter to the World" from
The Child Within Us.

Sandy Jones is a
Love Letter from the Child Heart
Of God Within All.

***

Sweet Sandy is Bill
Samuel's Living Witness to
The Child Within Us.

Sweet Sandy is Bill's
Living Witness to the Child
Heart of God in All.

[Rich Note: Bill Samuel was fond of calling Sandy Jones, his protege, future literary executor and keeper of Bill's flame, "Sweet Sandy." Well, Sweet Sandy, as Bill knew she would in due season, has obviously come to Full Flower as a Living Testament to the Child Heart of the Awareness of God I Am that Lives within us all.

Sandy has clearly become a Flesh and Blood Witness to the "Child Heart of God" Bill repeatedly pointed to from so many different conceptual and experiential perspectives or frames of references in his Masterwork: "The Child Within Us Lives, A Synthesis of Science, Religion and Metaphysics."

So the time is upon us for Bill's Sweet Sandy to follow her beloved Bill's version of Christ's classic response to Pilate, "...To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice." (John 18:37); which is, ultimately, the one cause, mission and duty we are all came into to the world to complete:

"The final discipline involves the correct apprehension of IDENTITY
and passing that clear perception along to our world as quickly as we can."]

[Rich Note: In this regard, for those who have not read or heard Sweet Sandy's Child Heart in Partial or Full Voice, and as a precursor to her nearly completed book, "Love Letters to My World," here are a large selection of links to introduce Sandy and, perhaps, let her help you yourself to "..get a correct apprehension of IDENTITY and pass that clear perception along to your world...":

Hay-Ku of the Day ("Simple Attention")

"Simple Attention

Is the Way to Freedom, Rest

And Reality."

***

Self-Observation 

Is "...the Way to Freedom, Rest

And Reality."

Being Self-Aware

Is "...the Way to Freedom, Rest

And Reality."

***

Paying Attention

To "What Is As It Is" ends

Bondage to ego.

Paying Attention

To "What Is As It Is" ends

All mental bondage.

***

Being a Witness

To "What Is" creates mental

Space and leverage.

As a Witnessing

Presence I have both mental

Space and leverage.

***

Cultivating a

Witnessing attitude

Offers Salvation.

Awakening to

Present-Minded Awareness

Restores Paradise.

[Rich Note: The first paraphrased and related Hay-Ku inspired by:

"Our mindset is the jailor and our world-view is the jail.  But you can't break out of prison by attacking them directly.  In fact, you don't even need to attack them at all; just be aware of them and continue to observe them. Simple attention is the way to reality freedom and rest. Under continuous observation your illusions expose themselves and simply dissolve away like the Wicked Witch of the West." (from "What Are I?" by Galen Sharp)]

Hay-Ku of the Day (A Peaceful Mind)

A Silent Mind has
No Bound, Open and Still
Its Self is Found.

Re: Sri Ramana 8/5/14 Twit:

"When the mind is examined, its activities cease automatically. This is the method of jnana. The pure mind is the Self. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

[Rich Note: This particular Hay-Ku, which was called to mind by the referenced Sri Ramana quote, is a "slightly adjusted" version of the last quatrain of the follow early '80s poem:

A SILENT MIND

"An Empty Mind
Is also Clear;
Without thought
There is no fear.

"A Quiet Mind
Lives in Peace;
Makes the most
Of even least.

"A Silent Mind
has No Bound,
Open and Still
Itself is found."

Circa 1982]

Hay-Ku of the Day (A Memorial to Rich Mullins)

God Loves us because
We are "Fore-Given" the "Name
And Nature" of God.

How can God not Love
You if you have both the Name
And Nature of God.

***

The answer to how
God can Love "me" as I Am:
"I'm not what I think!"

The answer to how
God Loves "me" as I Am is
"I Am That 'I AM!'"

***

The Love of God Is
Trans-relational and
Unconditional.

The Love of God Is
Both trans-rational and
Beyond conception.

***

The One Way to get
Beyond relational Love
Is without a "me."

The Only Way to
Transcend relational Love
Is without a "self."

***

God Loves by Virtue
Of Being Everything that
Is or Can Be Loved.

God Loves by Virtue
Of Being what God Loves and
Without Condition.

***

Absolute Love is
The Love of Being What It
Is One is Loving.

Perfect Love is a
State of Conscious Union of
Subject and Object.

Re:  "Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts." Jeremiah 15:16 KJV

[Rich Note: Interestingly enough, I watched a movie ("Ragamuffin") with wife Sandy last night; a movie about a "star-crossed" Christian singer and song writer, named Rich Mullins, tormented by his father's life-long inability to love or accept love from him; and, in turn, Rich's inability to love himself or feel worthy of God's Love or the love of others -- a sad tale.

Rich, as one might expect with all his family and personal issues, was quite a rebel with respect to life, the church and the music industry. Unfortunately, he never did seem to quite figure out that he had to "Love God, Himself and the World," all three, in order to finally get out of his own way and fully into God's.

May this gentle, gifted, inspired, yet tormented, Christian soul "Rest in the Eternal Peace of the Father's Love" he never seemed quite able to in life.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (God is Being)

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Child I Am.

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Truth I Am.

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Peace I Am.

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Joy I Am.

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Light I Am.

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Life I Am.

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Love I Am.

God is Being this
Awareness, Right Here, Right Now,
As the Christ I Am.

[Rich Note: One of a series of "Prayers, 'I Am' related Declarations or Decrees, Affirmations and/or Purification Exercises -- call them what you will -- being done here on a nearly daily basis.  Here's another set that "Strikes Home":

Resting in Presence
As the Child of God I Am
One with the Father.

Resting in Presence
As the Truth of God I Am
One with the Father.

Resting in Presence
As the Peace of God I Am
One with the Father.

Resting in Presence
As the Joy of God I Am
One with the Father.

Resting in Presence
As the Light of God I Am
One with the Father.

Resting in Presence

One with the Father.

Resting in Presence
As the Love of God I Am
One with the Father.

Resting in Presence
As the Christ of God I Am
One with the Father.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Behind Your Eyes)

Isn't All a Mental
Energy Pattern going
On behind my eyes?

What I See is a
Pattern of Mental Energy
Imagined without.

What I See is a
Mental Energy Pattern
Within my own skull.

***

Must Not All I See
Be a Resonant State of
Awareness Itself?

Is not All I See
A Resonant State of the
Awareness I Am?

Is not Everything
A Resonant State of the
Awareness You Are?

***

What I See is a
"Virtual Reality"
Within Awareness.

Existence is a
"Virtual Reality"
Of the Absolute.

Being's a Divine
"Virtual Reality"
Envisioned by God.

***

I can relate to
Being only in and through
My own mental space

I can relate to
Being only in and through
Awareness Itself.

I can relate to
Being only in and through
Mental reflections.

[Rich Note: inspired by the following 8-18-14 twit by "BeingAboutBeing":

"Out there is still in here."]

[Rich Note: A more detailed, related metaphysical metaphor that introduces chapter five, "Of Twain One New Man," of OOMM:

"What’s going on within the geographic confines of your skull, behind your eyes, right now? Is it not everything you see before your eyes, and is this not actually composed of patterns of mental energy arising within your own head? Is it not also true that the patterns which you presently identify as yourself are composed of the exact same mental material you identify as other? This being true, how is it possible to be so intimately identified with one portion of your awareness, and so self-alienated from the other? Perhaps because the preponderance of your attention is habitually focused on the former, while you are proportional less sensitive and aware of the latter."]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Glassy Essence ll)

The Awareness I
Am is the "Glassy Essence"
At the Heart of All.

Pure Awareness is
The Dimensionless Glassy
Essence of Being.

Awareness is the
Glassy Essence or Divine
Nucleus of All.

***

The Glassy Essence
Is a Dimensionless Still
Point of Perfect Peace.

Awareness is the
Absolute Self-Reference
Within Every Heart.

Awareness is the
Glassy Essence at the Heart
Of All Existence.

***

Awareness In and
Of Itself is the Glassy
Essence of Being.

The Glassy Essence
Of All Conscious Being is
Awareness Itself.

The Glassy Essence
Of All Conscious Being is
Divine Awareness.

***

"Awareness" is the
"Glassy Essence" Shakespeare's Verse
So clearly points out.

Re: "But man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he ’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep."

("Measure for Measure" Act ii. Sc. 2.)

Haiku of the Day ("Awareness of Being is Everything")

This Awareness of
Being I Am is Basic
To Everything else.

This Awareness of
Being I Am is the Ground
Of All Existence.

This Awareness of
Being I Am is both the
Subject and Object.

***

The Energy of
Awareness manifests as
Experiences.

This Energetic
State of Awareness I Am
Originates All.

Everything is an
Energetic State of the
Awareness I Am.

This Experience
Called Life is a State of the
Awareness I Am.

This Experience
Called Life is a Vibrant State
Of Pure Awareness.

[Rich Note: Inspired by the following
extract from an essay entitled: "Awareness is Everything," by Jackson Peterson, the author of "The Natural Bliss of Being":

"...Whatever you experience, you are always aware of that experience. Awareness is always part of every experience. There are not two things: Awareness and the experience. The experience is the energy of Awareness manifesting as that energy event. The experience is the Awareness of it. We are nothing but the unfolding events of experience as Awareness. We are everything in that everything is Awareness being everything." ]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Seeing Seeing Seeing)

I Am the "Subject
Object and Verb" as "Seeing
Seeing the Seeing."

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" the "Subject, Object
And Verb" are the Same.

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" the "Subject, Object
And Verb" Re-Unite.

***

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" I Am "Aware of
Being the Seeing."

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" I Am" Awareness
As Its Own Object."

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" I Am "Awareness
Being Self-Aware."

***

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" I Am the "Single
Eye of the Father."

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" I Am the "Single
Eye of All Being."

As "Seeing Seeing
Seeing" I Am the "Single
Eyed Seeing" of God.

Re: "Behead yourself! …Dissolve your whole body into Vision: become seeing, seeing, seeing'!

Rumi, epigraph to On Having No Head: "Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious by Douglas E. Harding"

[Rich Note: (Adding by Subtracting) - "Seeing Seeing Seeing" (Re:
Seeing playing the role of "Subject, Verb and Object"), without the commas (which aren't there when spoken), really "hits the mark" as a non-dual pointer.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (The Awareness I AM as the Door/Gateless Gate)

Re: "An entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarity, the negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you." (Unknown)

Kris,

Yes, and Attention,
As Focused Awareness, is
The One Doorway In.

[Rich Note: As "Awake Space" one quite literally becomes, in a vibratory way, as a temporal state of conscious or focused attention, whatever occupies the Absolute (or Infinitely Expanded) Awareness One Ultimately Is (That which is Aware of Being as Consciousness and/or the Mind of God).]

You as Awareness
Are what you focus on as
Conscious Attention.

As Awareness I
Am what I focus on as
Conscious Energy.

Everything is a
Vibrant State of the Present
Awareness I Am.

Everything is a
Radiant State of the Still
Awareness I Am.

***

Expand Awareness
By Focusing on Nothing
And so becomes All.

Expand Awareness
By Focusing on Nothing
And All becomes One.

Expand Awareness
By Focusing on Nothing
And Re-Unite All.

Expand Awareness
By Focusing on Nothing
And Resurrect All.

Re: "It is when we become nothing that we become the door to Something.  The best door is the empty place without an impediment.  The Window that allows Light is the place where nothing is."  -- WmSamuel (The Child Within Us Lives, pg.321).

Hay-Ku of the Day (Divine Free Bird)

I AM a Free Bird
Of Conscious Attention born
Of Pure Awareness.

I AM the Free Bird
Of the Child's Attention born
Of Pure Awareness.

A Free Bird of Pure
Intension Soars in Itself
As God's Awareness.

Hay-Ku of the Day (Life in Itself)

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness of God
I Am Life Itself.

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness of God
One Is Life Itself.

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness of God
Man is Life Itself.

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness of God
You Are Life Itself.

***

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness I Am
Is the Life of God.

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness I Am
Is the Living God.

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness I Am
Is the Christ in All.

Being the Seeing
Of the Awareness I Am
Is the Life You Are.
