Hay-Ku of the Day ( Let This Mind Be)

"I LET that Mind Be 
Me which IS the Awareness 
Of the Truth I Am."

"You LET that Mind Be
You which IS the Awareness 
Of the Truth You Are." 

"We LET that Mind Be 
Us which IS the Awareness 
Of the Truth We Are."

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:.." Philippians 2:5 KJV

"Let this Mind be in
You" which also "beats your heart"
And "heals your body."

"We LET that Mind be us which IS the Awareness of the Truth we are." -- Bill Samuel

[Rich Note: The "natural (unintended) haiku" shared above, which is really quite striking, appears at the end of the first paragraph of the following essay from Bill Samuel's "A Guide to Awareness and Tranquility":

Music, Metaphor and Magic

“The musician begins with the principle of music, not the discord. The mathematician begins with the principle of his science, not the error. WE BEGIN AS THE IMMACULATE, PRISTINE, PURE AND PERFECT IDENTITY WE ARE ALREADY, not the personal sense of things, not the world’s ideas, opinions and judgement of things. We ‘begin’ with God, the ALL that Isness is, and rejoice at the wonders this ever new view reveals. We LET that Mind be us which IS the awareness of the Truth we are.

“Awareness is the common denominator which includes ALL.

“Nor is Awareness separate from the images within it, any more than the television screen is separate from the cowboys and commercials there. Therefore, we can see that our identification as awareness ITSELF is not a withdrawal from the world, from people or from the adventure of living. It is a withdrawal from our own valued opinions, notions and prejudices of them.

“To the contrary, this work appears as revitalized interest in everything that appears as conscious identity (Awareness) – and that is everything! As we live childlike-awareness-being-effortlessly-aware, we find our daily experience expanding into undreamed of new action – plus the strength and means necessary for that action. Music comes from the principle of music. Music has an unseen fact behind it. That makes music is a lot like God. God may just be the principle of music. That seems most likely..."]
