Hay-Ku of the Day (Looking for What's Looking)

If You Are looking

For What's Looking You'll Never

Find It by Seeking!

"Resting in the Source

Of the next thought" is "Looking

At What Is Looking."

***

Awareness as the 

Field in which All Exists is

Looking for Itself.

The Aware Space in 

Which thoughts Arise and Fall is

Looking for Itself.

[Rich Note: A Tri-Combo of Jac O'Keeffe (http://www.jac-okeeffe.com) favorites, plus 2:

"The freedom you look for is where you look from." 

"As long as the 'I' is looking for peace, there will be no peace."

"Rest at the source of the next thought. That’s all."

Plus:

St. Francis of Assisi's Classic:

"What we are looking for is what is looking."

Plus:

"THAT which we are all seeking and cannot find is because it is who we are without an “I” to know it." Stephen Wolinsky (http://stephenhwolinskyphdlibrary.com/downloads.html) ]

Of Everything Else.

***

"Resting in the Source

Of the Next thought" is how

To "Be What You Are."

"Resting in the Source

Of the next thought" is to

"Be All You Can Be."

"Rest in the Source of

The Next Thought" and "Allow Things

To Be As They Are."

(Jac O'Keeffe Amplified Reprise)

[Rich Note: Here's a related arrangement of favorite Jac O'Keeffe (http://www.jac-okeeffe.com) Pointers:

"The freedom you look for is where you look from." 

"Rest at the source of the next thought. That’s all."

"In any moment, you are either observing effortlessly or you are believing your thoughts."

"As long as the 'I' is looking for peace, there will be no peace."

"Suffering is an idea that there is an 'I' that doesn't like what is happening."

"The problem is not with the mind, it is the personal identification with thoughts that creates suffering."

"Let your attention be on what is taking place, not on how you fear it may impact you."

"Nothing is actually happening to you unless you want to believe it is."

"Deep stillness always rests under an agitated mind."

"Something underneath is taking care of all, is taking care of what you really are."

"Your true nature is causeless and living causeless happiness is your natural state of being."

"To abide in your natural state requires no movement or doing on your part."

Sit still, be quiet, and don't engage with any thoughts that come, just let them pass without your interest. 

Be that which sees what is seeing. Do not be the watcher. You are That which sees that which is watching

"Let your mind be focused inward. Let your attention rest calmly in its natural state."]

Hay-Ku of the Day ("...Gateway to Truth")

In Seeing Myself
As I Am I See I Am
Not what I believe.

In Seeing I Am
Other than "my mind" I See
Myself as I Am.

In Seeing I Am
Other than "my mind" I See
I Am Awareness.

[Rich Note: Inspired by the following Nitin Ram meditation from "Self Calling: Self Reminder Meditations":

"Peace of Mind?

"Are you out of your mind?
Silencing the mind is a Myth...
Recognizing it is separate from YOU
is the gateway to Truth...!"]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Three Naturals)

"We are Limited,
Not by our Abilities,
But by Our Vision."

-- Anonymous

"O Blessed Flame of
Divine Love I Am Thy Pure
Presence Forever."

-- "I AM" Religious Activity

"I take the Divine
Awareness of God to Be
My Identity."

-- Bill Samuel

[Rich Note: The first quote was used by Kurt Warner during a pre-game show this morning, supporting his contention that the most important quality of an NFL quarterback is "vision"; and that, in particular, with respect to the player's "breath of vision," as it relates to seeing "the whole field" (or "big picture"):

Or Seen Hay-Ku-Wise:

Narrow focus and
Shifts in attention create
Double-mindedness.

A short focal length
And narrow breadth of vision
Limits Awareness.

***

Things appear to be
Happening faster when we're
Narrowly focused.

Things appear to slow
Down with longer focal length
And broader vision.

***

A short focal length
And narrow breadth of vision
Speeds everything-up.

Narrow vision has
A short focal length and makes
Things happen faster.

***

I get smarter as
Life seems to slow down due to
Expanded vision.

I get dumber with
Narrow fields of vision and
Short focal lengths.

***

Subject to mental
Myopia while I am
Self-Identified.

Extreme cases of
Mental myopia come
With narrow focus.

***

Attention fixed on
Its Source extends focal length
And expands vision.

Our mental focal
Length and Breadth of vision can
Become Infinite.

Without any self
Reference focal length
Becomes Limitless.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Consciousness, Conscious Awareness or the Awareness of Being I Am)

In the Absence of
Present Awareness Itself
Can Anything Be?

In the Absence of
Awareness of Being can
Anything Exist?

***

Without Awareness
Being Here in the First Place
Can Anything Be?

Without Awareness
How can anything be said
To have Existence?

Re: "Nothing exists in the absence of your consciousness.  It means our consciousness contains everything."

(From "Everything Is Nothing, the Quintessential Teachings of Sri Nisargadatta" by Mohan Gaitonde.)

Have you ever seen,
Heard, felt or thought anything
Outside Awareness.

Have you ever once
Experienced anything
Without Awareness?

"Have we ever been conscious of anything that was not included in this awareness?"

(Bill Samuel - "Vignettes on Love 1")

Hay-Ku of the Day (Casting the First Stone)

In crucifying
Others we unwittingly
Crucify ourselves.

To rest an instant
From crucifying ourselves
We crucify others.

Re: Joe Paterno, Ray Rice, Roger Goodell, et. al.

[Rich Note: The public lynching of national celebrities, with and without the legal process running its course, seems to have become the "real national sport."]
