Hay-Ku of the Day (Off Chance)

On the off-chance "life

Is a self-projection," I

Best watch what I think.

Hay-Ku of Day (Living Silence)

A Palpable Sense

Of Silence reunites Heart

Mind, Body and Soul.

A Tangible Sense

Of Silence unites Heart, Mind 

Body and Spirit.

A Living Silence

Bridges the gap between Mind,

Body and Spirit.

"Now, let us enter

The Silence" uniting Heart,

Mind, Body and Soul.

RE1: "The most basic experience of Silence is intimacy. We feel an intimacy with the world, as if we are within everything around us rather than behind or alongside things that we are then looking at. This mantle of touch brings us to the living truth of our being. We know who we are in a completely non-self-conscious way. We feel how we, in our individuality, are part of a vast and mysterious world process. And when we cultivate Silence to the point that we are consciously within it rather than imagining that it is in us, we cannot be other than we are. The imagination of it being within us emanates from the loss of the touch of Silence, for without sensing this intimate touch we too easily think we are whatever we want to be or others want us to be. Silence keeps us intimately bound with the truth of our being, constantly conveying to us in a bodily way that our individual and unique presence as soul, spirit, and body intermingles " with the world and, at the same time, lives a free and independent existence."

(From "Silence - The Mystery of Wholeness" by Robert Sardello)

RE2: In the act of meditation, as in the act of adoration, silence is our highest praise. Let us keep our silent sanctuaries, for in them the eternal perspectives." -- Neville Goddard

[Rich Note: Neville routinely ended of his lectures with, "Now, let us enter the Silence."] 

Hay-Ku of the Day (Old Favorites List 7 Plus 3)

Consciousness:

Mind depends on the

Thought process to exist while

Consciousness does not. 

What do you know that 

Does not arise as a state 

Of your Consciousness?

How can what you see

Be other than a State of 

Your own Consciousness? 

Consciousness is a

Vibratory State of the 

Awareness You Are. 

The Gap between One 

Thought and Another is the
Consciousness You Are. 

"Consciousness is All 

There Is” and “You Are That” is

What the "Sages Say."

The space between one

Thought and another is the
Consciousness you are. 

Worshipping ideas 

Above the Consciousness in

Which they arise?

Mind based science is 

Blind to the Consciousness in 

Which thought arises.

The Everlasting Light 

Of Awareness dawns with the 

Setting of self-thought. 

Awareness wed to 

Sensory Presence becomes

Conscious as I Am.

Is there anything 

That you have to do to be 

Present and Aware?

Plus:

If Consciousness is

A Perquisite for Life

It's a Name for God.

If Consciousness is

Fundamental to All

Then I must Be That.

Is it possible for 

Anything to Be without

Awareness thereof?

Haiku of the Day (Old Favorites List 6)

Attention: 

In attending to

That which is looking I see 

Myself as I Am. 

Focusing on my

End of the Perceptual

Stick what do I see?

What is seen when I

Attend to my end of the

Perceptual stick?

Is there a “face” on 

Your “end of perception” or 

Only Awake Space? 

Attention resting 

In the "Source of the next thought" 

Is Open to Grace.

Attention focused 

On the "Source of the next thought"

Is a Gateless Gate.

Is your Attention

On What You Really Are or 

A mental story?

Let attention rest 

In the conscious space between

Impulse and action.

[Rich Note: "Notice the source of the next thought" was a "skillful means" once suggested by Jackie O'Keeffe.]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Giving Is Receiving)

Empty of Self-thought

I Am the “Holy Grail” through

Which the Father Flows.

[Rich Note: This cross-correlative, triangulating, creative flow was inspired ("In-Spirit-I-ated" is better) by the following Dr. Pedro Cortina, Spiritually Pregnant, Contemplative, Seed Question:

  "Why share it?  Why not just go up to the mountain cave and chill?" ]

Re: "Why share it...?"

(1) Haiku-Wise:

Because the Nature

Of Light is to Shine and I

Am a Child Light.

Because the Light of

Awareness is Magnified

If shared with others.

(2) Worldly-Wise:

Because IT IS

Community Property.

(3) Joy-Wise: 

"Yreka" is the Shout of Joy that alerts Divine Sisters and Bothers that One has re-discovered a Lost Family Jewel.

(4) Peak Experience-Wise:

The Super Bowl Syndrome: The MVP of the Super Bowl was once always asked "How does it feel to win the SB and be the MVP?" (an obvious "Mountain Top or Peak Experience," from a very worldly perspective). 

Inevitably, said winner would respond (something to the effect of): "I've never had a feeling like this before, it's unbelievable, indescribable and I wish everyone could experience this." 

Well, that last part of the answer comes from an "intuitive knowing" that Divine Joy (as reflected in Peak Experiences and seen from a bottom-up perspective) is an "Energetic Flow State"; that has to be "shared or so given away to others," in order to be kept flowing [ergo: Jesus' counter intuitive (at least to the carnal minded or old man) that "we must give to receive").

Ultimately, said Flow States are a perfectly natural result of a moment of Absolute Desirelessness and the Holistic or Unitive Condition of Mind and Selfless Consciousness so implied (that Opens the Flow in the First Place).

Then, of course, at some point, "double-minded, relative, self-reflective, divided, carnal-minded, self-focused and absorbed thinking" comes "back on line," as the center of one's attention,  and once again dams-up the Natural Divine Flow of Life, Light, Love, Joy and Peace (that would otherwise exist without "me, myself and I" as a "mental echo," or the "story of me as a mental shroud or overlay," blocking IT or THAT from Present Minded Awareness). 

All of which, Super Bowl Syndrome-wise, is a  "reversion to a habitual form of self-referenced mental precessing " that was once iconically characterized  by the SB related, commercialized question: "What are you going to do next?" and the mental winner's (loser actually) mentally conditioned or self-patterned response, "I'm going to Disney World!"

(5) Musically Speaking-Wise:

Here's  musical rendition called Desert Pete that makes the same point of our Being Channels or Vessels for the Conveyance of an Never-Ending Flow of Divine Life, Light, Love, Joy and Peace; once We transcend Our programmed and conditioned belief in being "mere finite, temporal containers" (get over ourselves and out of our own way and into God's Endlessly Self-Giving Way) of said Life, Light and Love.

(6) Scripture Wise:

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Luke 6:38 KJV

"...For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more..." Luke 12:48 KJV

(7) Quote-Wise:
