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..."]

Hay-Ku of the Day (Original Thought)

A "Single-Eye" and

A "Double-Mind" see Life in

A Different Light.

"Seeing in Part" and

"Knowing as I Am Known" are

"Complementary."

Enlightenment "Sees

The House as Whole" while self-thought

"Builds it with Bricks."

"Knowing by Virtue

Of Being" what One Knows is

"Perfectly Certain."

Re: "It is one thing to come up with answers from our memory that was put in there by what we heard and read, even if they are the right answers, but it is very different and alive when we discover the answers ourselves, as when we see them for the first time..."  -- Frank Youakim

(A related closing of a "Master-Student" parable shared by Syd Banks towards the end of "The Enlightened Gardner.")

"...But tell me Master, the student said, why did you send me on a wild goose chase when all you had to do was tell me the answer?

"I told you the other day, such knowledge can't be grasped intellectually.  It is something that has to be realized and uncovered from within your own consciousness.

"What you have to realize is that there's quite a difference between hearing Truth intellectually and getting it from realization.

"One is a learned process from the physical world and the other is an inner virgin knowledge that lies deep within the consciousness is all human beings.

"When Einstein realized the theory of relativity, it was a virgin thought, or, if you wish, an original thought.  However, once he spoke of his finding it became of this world; it joined with his intellect and that of all humanity.  Einstein was both a wise an an intelligent man.

"You must first learn to listen; otherwise, no matter how anyone tries to explain the unexplainable to you, it will never make sense.

"...because the elusive knowledge you seek has no form, it can only be explained metaphorically -- and until you learn to listen, you will hear only metaphors."

Hay-Ku of the Day (Know What You're Voting For and Against)

The "US of A"

Is a "Republic" and not

A "democracy."

[Rich Note: Anyone voting in the up-coming Presidential election, who wants to cut through all the BS and see what they are actually voting for -- beyond all the "superficial sound bites, political spin, soap opera dramatics and mud-wrestling" -- really do need to watch  this 11 minute video clip (which describes in graphic, yet simple, detail exactly what the "American Form of Government" actually is and is not) and share with as many fellow voters as possible:

Hay-Ku of the Day (Mental Self-Mastery)

Is there any hope

Of mastering life if I

Can't master myself?

***

If I can't master

My mind, what's the use trying

To master my world?

If I can't master

Myself what right do I have

To master my world?

If I can't master

My thought what makes me think I

Can master my world?

***

The only thing you

Are ever truly called to

Master is your self.

The only thing you

Are ever truly called to

Master is your mind.

The only thing you

Are ever truly called to

Master is self thought.

***

Master your mind and

You will master yourself and 

Your world forever.

Master your mind and

You'll no longer feel a need

To master your world.

***

All that it takes to

Master "your mind and thought" is

See "you are not that."

Hay-Ku of the Day (People's Law vs. Ruler's Law)

The United States

Is a Republic and not

A Democracy.

In this regard, here is an easy to understand and rather entertaining video clip that does a wonderful job explaining what the American form of government actual is, in terms of that which it is not; but which some of our citizens, either out of ignorance or intention, have our American government becoming in practice, if not principle.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N4r0VUybeXY&feature=youtu.be

[Rich Note: As this video clearly indicates, there is a very good reason the founding fathers chose to set up the Government of the United States of America as a Republic, based on the Rule of Constitution Law; and not a Democracy, based on the impulse and whim of a simple major, easily manipulated or swayed by the heat of a cultural circumstance.]

And yes, the Constitution is a "Living Document," not because it is should changed with changing times as some find it politically convent to suppose; but rather, because the constitution is based on Immutable Natural (or Divine) Laws or Principles that will always meet changing technological, social and cultural climates perfectly; and, thereby,  meet "ever-changing  times" with the same "Changless Principles, as a means of keeping "we the people" honest in the face of personal impulse and expediency.

P.S. Here's a link to the 28 Principles as they appear in W. Cleon Skousen's bestselling "The 5,000 Year Leap":

Hay-Ku of the Day (Enlightenment)

Enlightened of the

Illusion of Being a

Separate person.

Enlightened of the

Idea of Being something

Other than I Am.

***

Enlightened of the

Idea of Being other

Than the Light I Am.

Enlightened of the

Idea of Being other

Than the Truth I Am.

***

Enlightened of the

Illusion I Am not the

Light of Awareness.

Enlightened of the

Illusion I Am not the

Heart of Awareness.

Enlightened of the

Illusion I Am not the

Awareness of God.

**11. Darkness and Light: Darkness is not light's opposite, but its relative absence. It never did or could exist as a substantial reality, in and of it self, capable of opposing light. As such, there never was any real possibility of war between darkness and light, and so any apparent battle is necessarily mock. Extrapolating a bit further, and assuming that goodness arises from the light of understanding and evil from the darkness of ignorance, must we not likewise conclude that any seeming battle between good and evil is also illusionary? 9/02
