Hay-Ku of the Day (Cutting to the Chase, Spiritual Practice II)

Simplicity-Wise, these are the best "Spiritual Practices" (seeming self-initiated acts that can actually transcend self-entrancement -- as paradoxical as that may appear to the intellect) I've encountered in 50 years:

" Pay attention to the source of the next thought." Jackie 0'keffe

“Relax all focus for 2 to 5 seconds, again and again, and recognize what remains.” -- Bentinho Massaro

Haiku-Wise they become:

In Principle:

Focusing on the

Source of the thought reminds "me"

I Am Awareness.

***

Relaxing Focus

Extends Mental Focal Length

And Breadth of Vision.

Relaxing Focus

Opens Breadth of Vision to

Embrace All Being.

In Practice:

Simply open your

Focus and Relax into

Being Awareness.

***

Relaxing Focus

And Resting as this Felt Sense

Of Presence I Am.

Opening Focus

And Merging with this Felt Sense

Of Being I Am.

***

Shifting Focus from

Thought to the Aware Presence

Of Being I Am.

Waiting Upon the

Lord as the Aware Presence

Of Being I Am.

PS: Dedicated to Kristin Lassen, who taught me a very valuable (and hopefully final -- though I somehow doubt it -- lol) lesson in humility.

Heartfelt Knowing of

Of the Truth is the only

"Real Experience."

Heart Apprehended

Knowledge of Being is a

Direct Conception.

"Knowing the Truth" as

"I Know I Am" is the "One

True Experience."
