“When the tragedy of the world market no longer exists,
unexpected gradations of being in love with being here will
emerge.”

Walter Lowenfels

Brute force crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.

D. H. Lawrence

Having died I am here to tell you YES we CAN die and come back to "life" aaaaaaaaaaaand once that's REALLY happened you KNOW there is no such thing as what people think of as DEATH. And that's all, it's simply not an issue anymore. I like most actual NDE-ers had difficulty re-entering a world full of people living in fear of each other, the future, the pas���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI ON THE ESSENCE OF NON-DUALITY

Discern at every step that I am whatever is beginningless, conscious,unborn, primal, resident in the Heart-cavity, unsullied, and transcendingthe world, whatever is pure, peerless, desireless, beyond sight or otherperceptions or even mental apprehension. Because we think we are in the bodywe also believe that we are born. However, we do not think of the body, ofGod, or of methods of realization in our deep slumber. Yet in our wakingstate we hold onto the body and think we are in it. The Supreme Being isthat from which the body is born, in which it lives, and into which itresolves. We, however, think that we reside within the body. Henceinstruction is given. The instruction means: "look within." Consciousness isnot born at any time; it remains eternal. But ego is born; so also the otherthoughts. Associated with the absolute consciousness they shine forth; nototherwise. . . .Liberation is to know that you were not born. "Be still andknow that I am God."

“Only the hand that erases can write the true thing."

This is the basis of Dzogchen Trekcho: Chogzhag (let be):

1. Riwo Chogzhag: leave the position of the body as it happens to be.
2. Gyatso Chozhag: leave the eyes looking at whatever they happen to be looking at.
3. Rigpa Chogzhag: leave the Mind nakedly aware of whatever mental events occur.
4. Nangwa Chogzhag: Leave ALL external events as-is...as they arise from moment to moment.

This is most important.

"Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the
world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of
the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings."

"In the animal kingdom, the rule is, eat or be eaten; in the human kingdom, define or be

"Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow make sense. The thought that the state has lost its mind and is punishing so many innocent people is intolerable. And so the evidence has to be internally denied."

- Arthur Miller

nature shouts all the time:
give way, give way,
the new moment is here already!
the show must go on!

Nasrudin went to a sufi master with a friend. The
Master, wanting to test their spiritual egg, gave each
of them a chicken and told them, "Go kill the chicken
where no one could see and then return."
The friend in 5 minutes came to the Master with a dead
chicken. The Master asked what did he do. He said, "I
went behind a fence where no could see."

The Master smiled.

Nasrudin meanwhile turned up missing...a day and then
a week. The Master sent a search party. Finally
Nasrudin was found still carrying his chicken with
him. He was taken back to the Master who questioned
Nasrudin. "Why did you not kill the chicken?" Nasrudin
replied, "Everywhere I went the chicken could see."
