Nature of Reality.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

of any two opposites this is always a common dimension underlying both of
them. For example if you think of near and far, that underlying dimension
is space. If you think of hot and cold then there is temperature.
If you think of sadness and happiness they are also on a spectrum. You
may be feeling sad but if you feel less sad and lesser and lesser you end up
being happy and vice versa if you are less happy and less happy eventually you
end up being sad or depressed. So the price of joy is the vulnerability
of grief, you can’t have one without the other. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But the mind is built on these
beliefs in dualities and opposites which it holds onto very strongly.
Some of them are just immovable like the duality of life and death, existence
and inexistence. Something and nothing. These opposites seem like
they have no common dimension but this is not true. In the deepest
insights communicated by sages, mystics and poets you see this common theme
that these dualities are not really true. That there is something
underlying them and in modern days the world been given to these kind of
teachings and understandings is called Non duality - not two- not even
one. <br />
So we ended our last video with a quote from the Zen Master Dogen Zenji:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"The stone womb gives birth to a child
at night" and there is a context to it which we covered in the
previous video on green mountains walking</span> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://easyidler.blogspot.com/2023/11/mountains-walking.html">https://easyidler.blogspot.com/2023/11/mountains-walking.html</a></span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> but that context is around consciousness on what it is like
to be conscious. It is like being a mountain remaining perfectly still as
everything moves by and you observe it simply because of this quality of
You-ness; this quality of being conscious. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But the question remains where did
this consciousness come from? Because it does have a start. At the beginning of
every life consciousness emerges and this concept will go against many
spiritual teachings and so on that are being spread around these days, but
that is becoming enamored with consciousness; the state where there is
experience and is ignoring the other side. Ignoring that nothing, that
lack of experience. The stone woman that gave birth to this child.
And the words of another sage Nisargadatta Maharaj, who has had the most impact
on my understanding of non-duality, he calls consciousness the child of a
barren woman. This is quite similar to what Dogen said the child of
a barren woman. <br />
<br />
There are two ways to look at it. One is that the child must be imaginary;
unreal. You can't quite say that about consciousness. You can't
deny that it is here. So it is unreal in the sense that it is
dreamlike. It is not a permanent state of Reality. It emerges and
everything in it emerges with it as a dream and just as when you wake up from a
dream you can say that everything that happened in it was not quite real.
One cannot deny that the dream happened, that it was experienced. But the
other way to look at it, the child of a barren woman is that it proves that the
woman is not barren, she gave birth. And if the stone woman gives birth
to a child that is alive and is living then the stone woman cannot be
dead. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So consciousness has emerged from
unconsciousness.</b> Something has emerged from nothing and so they are
not polar opposites with no bridge between them. They are two ends of a spectrum,
a common reality that encompasses everything and all the power and
the possibility to take a possibility and realize it. To have it turn
into a life, this reality is what gave birth to this universe. To all the
stars in it and from that stardust, this planet and all the organisms on it and
it is the same reality that allows that insentient matter to be taken together,
rearranged in a pattern, then have some activity pass through it and have that
activity reflected as experience. <br />
<br />
From what is considered as insentient, unconscious and nothing that is where
life has emerged from and most minds will just draw a blank to this notion,
turn away from it.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Because how do
you contemplate what is unknowable and unobservable?</b> Yet <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to turn away from it is the cause of much
suffering because this duality of something and nothing, the duality of life
and death this is what causes us to strive for whatever we can achieve in this
one lifetime to the detriment of everyone else, everything else. And at
an even more fundamental level this duality gives rise to the idea of me and
other. The idea that there are these entities , these sentient entities; which
exist in their own right, separate to everything else gives rise to the idea of
self and soul and a god who will maybe save the souls and grant them an
afterlife much life this one but better. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such beliefs require faith, but Reality
requires no faith. <br />
<br />
The proof of it is in the moment you catch consciousness arising . It
just is how it is. The proof of nothing it is in the moment that you
catch consciousness arising and you can do that. You can do it on the
borderline of sleep or through meditation where there is a moment where experience
reappears from a state where there is no experience. No sense of time or
space. Nothing, just nothing and that is where experience begins.
It is what is called insentient, unconscious ., but by being it there is
nothing there that can be called me, a sentient entity. I am that
nothing. It is brilliant. Amazing. It is the very basis of
everything. This is the realization where all opposites converge into a
whole realization of the non-dual nature of Reality and to arrive at it you
need only focus your attention on the sense of existence, the sense that I
am and watch how it is at the very core of all your experiences of this entire
life. And as your attention focuses on this fact of being it will carry
on as you go to sleep or you meditate and you will catch the moment where this
I am emerges. That is the most beautiful moment of creation. The
only moment of creation. The rest is just transformation and expression
of this very same ingredient. This existence that emerges from nothing.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6_NiBWer0TV-wE23PCvZnTm4uat4jx6afe12_EzySR4bK7W-y4X5IC5NnNbhztffgKmlS8JeGVbGXYHi9BZpBVwrFcjDIwrgpdc-EQ5zHup5OyoF3YTiY3XW7Gu8vwlf4t89StUJu9m6tkPubT_KXSvRKKgeyoJorslemjYKnB9oqCRa_SETWmOk2b-b/s1366/Clipboard01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6_NiBWer0TV-wE23PCvZnTm4uat4jx6afe12_EzySR4bK7W-y4X5IC5NnNbhztffgKmlS8JeGVbGXYHi9BZpBVwrFcjDIwrgpdc-EQ5zHup5OyoF3YTiY3XW7Gu8vwlf4t89StUJu9m6tkPubT_KXSvRKKgeyoJorslemjYKnB9oqCRa_SETWmOk2b-b/w640-h360/Clipboard01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /><br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a href="https://youtu.be/2yY4_adqMAs?si=xD0xBF5Sh8LkZ375">https://youtu.be/2yY4_adqMAs?si=xD0xBF5Sh8LkZ375</a><br /></p>suhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01229359526524987174noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054926825120141854.post-26150510023940346002023-11-07T09:18:00.005-08:002023-11-09T03:01:28.806-08:00Mountains Walking<p> <!--[if !mso]>

<br />
Mountains do not lack the qualities of mountains. Therefore they always
abide in ease and always walk. You should examine in detail this
quality of the mountains walking. <br />
These are the words of the Master Dogen Zenji from the Mountains and Waters
Sutra. They seem very odd and incomprehensible at first but they are
designed in such a way that if they made sense they will set your mind at
ease. You see in Zen there is this concept of transmission of mind, The
Zen Masters have understood something that is very indescribable and is beyond
words but to communicate it they have to use words or actions or behaviour and
they do these things and say these things which are so odd they will make no
sense from a normal persons point of view yet they will pull you in to the
understanding the Zen Master has. So if you can penetrate the words you
will be looking at the world through the eyes of the Zen Master. This is
the transmission of mind. So I will share the original transmission, I
will read the actual words that Dogen spoke and then share my own understanding
how the transmission was received here. <br />
<br />
Dogen lived about 800 years ago in Japan and he is a very influential figure in
Japanese culture. In this case he was speaking to an assembly of monks on
Mount Furong and this is what he said. 'The green mountains are always
walking. A stone woman gives birth to a child at night. Mountains
do not lack the qualities of mountains therefore they always abide in ease and
always walk. You should examine in detail this quality of the mountains
walking. Mountains walking are just like humans walking even though it
does not look the same as human walking. The Buddha's ancestors words
point to walking this is fundamental understanding and you should penetrate
these words. If you doubt mountains walking you do not know your own
walking. It is not that you do not walk but that you do not know or
understand your own walking. Since you do not know your own walking you
should fully know the green mountains walking.'</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Ink Free"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He
is very clear the mountains are walking and you are quite clear that the
mountains don't walk so how do we bridge this contradiction? Now I
personally have not had any Zen teachers or studied Zen formally but Zen has
had a huge impact on my life in helping me rid myself of anxiety and granting
me a general ease and peace of mind. And so the way I worked with these kinds
of Zen passages and koans is I would ponder over them, contemplate them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would go on a run and the whole time I would
focus on one particular statement from a Zen master or some other sage that I
was looking at.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Ink Free"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
would sit and meditate and focus on them and these meditations could last hours
across many days. And even during the day I would be obsessed about
unlocking what is trying to be communicated. This is just to show you how
I got to an understanding an intimate understanding and you might want to do
this for yourself. This is the true intention, it is not to be handed the
explanation it is to consider it for yourself. You are most welcome to
consider these words for yourself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Ink Free"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Ink Free"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But
if you would like some pointers on how to comprehend or even get started I will
present my understanding. So let us begin with the part that made some
sense. Mountains do not lack the qualities of mountains. This one
is easier to understand. Clouds don't lack the qualities of clouds.
Electrons don't lack the qualities of electrons. What is your
quality? There must be some very fundamental quality of youness that is
your quality. <br />
So when Dogen says mountains do not lack the qualities of mountains therefore
they always abide in ease and always walk - what he is pointing to
is that is very important to know your own quality. What is truly yours
and as you know it there is an ease to life, to walking through life, to
watching life walk by and this quality of humanness is on full display when you
are walking and since you do not know your own walking compare or consider how
mountains walk to how you walk because it is exactly the same. See it is
quite clear that mountains are very still and they don't seem to be moving but
consider the view from the mountains perspective. <br />
If the mountain is walking what would it see? If you were the mountain
and you were walking you would not see yourself move but you would see
everything else around you change and move. The leaves falling, snow
coming and then melting, new seeds taking root, new trees emerging. You
are just observing all these changes ...as the mountain you don't move; everything
else moves. This is how mountains walk and while its walking this
mountain is not really doing anything it is just being a mountain and because
it is a mountain it allows for other walking, for the plants to grow, for the
animals to live and burrow in it.<br />
<br />
Now this is really where it started to hit was when I was out running or
walking you can actually experience this for yourself. Focus your eyes
straight ahead, but put your attention to the periphery. Your right
eye is paying more attention to the right side , the left eye to the left side,
be more observant of things passing you by on the sides and you are very easily
with a bit of experimentation be able to experience that you are not moving, it
is the things around you which are passing by something like a treadmill but
out in the world. And from this space of stillness you may consider what
are you really doing to walk? Are you putting in any effort or is it just
happening? Are you just observing it happening? The body moving,
the trees passing by and so on and in the same way as you are walking a thought
or idea might take route, might grow into a mighty tree and then wither
away. All of it is just passing by. This is a Zen masters
demonstration of what their life is like and you are all in it. Because
mountains do not lack the qualities of mountains and you never lack the quality
of y<br />ouness and that these all phenomena passing by, you are you, the presence
that makes it all possible, makes it perceivable. You are not moving or
changing, even as you walk and this is the way to abide in ease and keep
walking. To know your true role here, your true function, your true
quality. Slowly this fact of being aware, it requires no effort you
cannot do it better or worse as it is in your nature. It Is just
happening. And if you focus on this as you keep walking, walking through
life, just focus on your true function, your true quality. You never find yourself
lacking or wanting, you will be at ease. Your mind will be at ease.
Anxieties and so they start to drop off, they come and they go and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you will see them as the mountains watching
the seasons pass by. There might be only one question left, how did I get
this quality of being aware? And the zen master Dogen answered that at
the beginning of the talk when he mentioned a stone woman gives birth to a
child at night. But let us leave that to another talk.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Ink Free"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN-PzHyP8zVk-8JDEbQodbE2nEFn6b85M9ekoqfae9zIbMeqCCbxGD4dOo2GmuC92xcprcBRSrYKQ02SmjSaArsd43-o8AQMwxtw_c6cuvHOWjHl5xVJ3ebLdC4Qd0zROavdf-9-KsnSAmxvowHbwR1mSISWxjjOgIuu_SWBtFa08UAPXhkNWhjKrMTsmF/s1366/mountain%20walkin.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="1366" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN-PzHyP8zVk-8JDEbQodbE2nEFn6b85M9ekoqfae9zIbMeqCCbxGD4dOo2GmuC92xcprcBRSrYKQ02SmjSaArsd43-o8AQMwxtw_c6cuvHOWjHl5xVJ3ebLdC4Qd0zROavdf-9-KsnSAmxvowHbwR1mSISWxjjOgIuu_SWBtFa08UAPXhkNWhjKrMTsmF/w640-h304/mountain%20walkin.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></p>

experience of walking or driving through a thick fog? <br />
There is a sense that just about anything could appear out of it. A truck
bearing down on you, or maybe a dragon. Your rational mind might say that
is improbable but there is another part of your mind which knows that anything
could bear out of this fog which is a space of possibility.</span></p>

for a moment and look at the space there. Technically you are looking at
the space at the back of your eyelids. The space that you are seeing has
a depth to it that is far greater than the distance between your eyeballs and
your eyelids. In fact you can't really say how big the space is.
There is no boundary, anything could appear here. A little butterfly, or
a wide open landscape or even an entire galaxy. Anything can fit in this
space that you are looking at. And that is not just because these are
optical illusions; it is because the space has the capacity to contain
anything. </span></p>

open, the world that appears, all the colours and shapes, brightness is all
appearing in the same space. If you blink slowly and just focus on this
space you will notice that it is the same space being filled with light, with
colour and shapes, all these things are appearing in this space, the
whole world. And this actually shows us that when we talk about physical
space with its three dimensions, it’s really a subset of what we are seeing
here. Because colours are a dimension here, brightness and those are just
the visual ones. When you hear a sound it appears in the same space. Sensations
even your most intimate experiences such as emotions, thoughts, memories, all
of these are appearing in this one space. It is not like there are
different kinds of spaces that you have access to, there is just one
container. </span></p>

as you go to sleep at night you are staring into the same space, then you drift
off and then the next thing you know you are in a dream and then of course the
dream too appears right here. So at this point it is not quite right to
call it space anymore. It is not three dimensional, it has infinite
dimensions, infinite possibilities. This is a space of consciousness that
is what the word means. You are very familiar with it; it is only when we
get academic or philosophical or when someone tries to point out the great
mystery of it that it gets a bit confusing. <br />
<br />
Consciousness is most natural to you but shouldn't be taken for
granted. What you are witnessing is infinity and within that
infinity is a stream of experience which you call my life but at the same time
there are countless other lives being lived in this very same space of
consciousness, nobody can claim to own it, the scale is too vast. And yet
you make the mistake of claiming a portion of it for ourselves. My
consciousness, my mind, very much like my piece of land but in reality no such
boundaries ever exist they are only mental. Say that you are
dreaming and there is someone in bed with you that notices that you are
dreaming they look upon you. The space upon which the dream appears is no
different in nature to the space in which you are seen by this other
person. It is the very same space, only there are two distinct streams of
experience in it and those streams exist simultaneously in parallel. They
are distinct but not entirely separate as they are contained in the one space
of consciousness. So the aim here for now is to make this distinction
between what consciousness is and what these minds which are really just
streams of experience are. Both can be many but what we are interested in
is that nature of consciousness itself. What is your relationship to it?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Ink Free"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span></p>

that we have talked about is a state of consciousness in which there is some
experience but you know that there is a state where experience is completely
absent. And generally this is called unconsciousness. But consider
your own experience of waking up from deep sleep or if you have been
unfortunate enough to have to go through an operation where you had to take general
anesthesia, that is a very enlightening experience if you look at it the right
way. Or if you come to this as a meditator who has undergone cessation
the complete falling apart of experience, well you can refer to that as
you think about this. Try to understand the insight here. See when
you wake up from sleep or from any of those other states and the very first
experience appears, just before that is what is called unconsciousness, but if
that state really was unconsciousness, there would be no possibility of that
experience being noticed or being known. It would not be an experience at
all. So there is consciousness there, present to render that
experience. And it’s not really there in the form of a state and at
this point we can't even call it space. There is no space; there is
no sense of time at that point. The only presence at that time is
you. You are there to take receipt of that first experience. And so
what you are is consciousness in its purest form, when it is formless and even
to talk about it as space is meaningless. There is no change so there is
no sense in talking about time. Pure consciousness before the advent of
experience and when experience does appear it appears to you - the sentience
that has the capacity to perceive whatever appears in the realm of
consciousness. So I fear we have gone too far in this one video so just
bring it back a bit and during your day blink a little slower sometimes, notice
that space behind closed eyes and as you lie down for sleep if you are in a nice
dark room try open your eyes and closing them and seeing if there is any
difference in the space you are looking upon. You will find that there is
none. <br />
<br />So notice the space, it will reveal many secrets to you.<br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk32PBMOhqTBzS-qA8gwmbhc0ru01sOpGC6L_nuK32u1iZATD-VTxKzpC2b1hSkNHw-Wnjq8MJYhA5_35izx2bazy-n5_GRy8C3Ch_OWwyTgRA8QbIqlBZsjmfFLUGizZILqeiO671vWTygA1BD5hi7XkfsGlttr5xTvnZaGy7V5YTWCZ5G_lD_9_lDY92/s1366/space.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="1366" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk32PBMOhqTBzS-qA8gwmbhc0ru01sOpGC6L_nuK32u1iZATD-VTxKzpC2b1hSkNHw-Wnjq8MJYhA5_35izx2bazy-n5_GRy8C3Ch_OWwyTgRA8QbIqlBZsjmfFLUGizZILqeiO671vWTygA1BD5hi7XkfsGlttr5xTvnZaGy7V5YTWCZ5G_lD_9_lDY92/w640-h304/space.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">https://youtu.be/Ov85lPY6W2s?si=GpLywUi1GhxkHi0m<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br /><br /><br />Transcribing these talks is considered my sanity project.

listening to music. There is a speaker across the room from where the
sound is coming. There is something really amazing going on here because
if we just slow down the process it becomes quiet clear. So let us start
with the science. The speaker causes air molecules to vibrate and that
travels out as sound waves; sound waves reach your ears and in there are all
these little components which go into action. There are your ear drums,
the little bones that vibrate and in turn cause the liquid in your ear canal to
move. And in your ear canal there are hair follicles which are sensitive to
movement and these trigger off signals to the brain which are really just
charged ions. These ions get absorbed by neurons in the brain and then
when each neuron reaches a certain threshold it releases its own spurt of ions
causing these chain reactions of brain activity but in this entire process which
you have laid out here now where do you fit in? In the entire process
there is no hearing, there is no music, it is only at the very end of this
whole chain that there is an experience and that brain activity is heard as
music. And it is heard by you. So what exactly are you
anyway. You are not the air molecules that are vibrating; you are not the
components of the ear, you are not the charged ions and all those individual
neurons, millions of them in this one process cannot be you either. They
are like the hardware on which the electrical activity is happening and even
that activity is of a very different nature than the music you
experience. So there is nothing really in this whole process that
you can call me. But of course you can't deny our existence, you are the
one listening to music quite clearly there is music and all this stuff
happening underneath the hood..</span></p>

have heard the philosophy around this, the hard problem of consciousness, how
we don't really know how matter and energy end up in conscious experiences and
those who have not heard of the hard problem will now probably want to google
it but hold on let us not go down that rabbit hole, we will cover that some
other day. The way we are framing this question right now is much more
intimate, it is not philosophy it is about your own identity. What you
actually are in Reality and there is an answer, which is not a theory cause it
has to do with you, it is the only possible conclusion to a deep and thorough self inquiry. <br />
<br />
So now we are moving from the domain of science to meditation, the wisdom of
the sages. But within this rational framework, not looking for anything
supernatural, we are looking for an answer to the simple question what am
I? And on this channel you will hear about one a man named Marathi, a man
who lived in Mumbai around the seventies and eighties. Later on he came
to be knows as Nisargadatta Maharaj. Nisargadatta means nature itself
which is quite appropriate if you read his teachings in his famous book I Am
That. It really sounds like he is not really a man that is speaking , it
is nature describing itself. Anyway so he gave this analogy once that I
read about a fire burning . There is the wood that is the fuel for the
fire, then there is the fire and then there is the enjoyer of that
fire. See the wood is the physical substance, the body in this
example where there is music. The brain activity is maybe what you can
call the fire but then that fire is experienced by a sentience and that sentience
is an entirely different factor to the rest of the process. In fact if
you think in terms of cause and effect, it is really not really a cause in any
of it , nor is it an effect but somehow that final effect is noticed by the
sentience that is you as the experience of fire, as music, as warmth, as
love. <br /><br />All these amazing experiences are being made possible by your very
presence, by your very nature. They are made possible by the fact that
you are here and that you are conscious, that is the very basis of our
mind. That little fact is the basis for the entire world, for all worlds
because by nature all worlds are subjective, mental, experiential and at the
very foundation is the subject of our inquiry - you. So just keep in mind
this question, ponder it, what am I? What am I that I get to experience
all of this. What am I?<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXPD6N9kulHnpksMXd2-Dqt2X2NU82X94tLXPVB_YHNULHgKi5OwSxvl-zmyijH_9WZM9ED2CuTcE6EHyaGv3caNYXQf6BD6XDpXgFPJnvAHWdzZX7lwLINZjHrzHq7t5AwDhG4BrqAhw-bnl4Gj1rBpmwOT4GvlB29Mpft-VRLtKzJanWeGLEd6U80jGA/s1366/Music.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="659" data-original-width="1366" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXPD6N9kulHnpksMXd2-Dqt2X2NU82X94tLXPVB_YHNULHgKi5OwSxvl-zmyijH_9WZM9ED2CuTcE6EHyaGv3caNYXQf6BD6XDpXgFPJnvAHWdzZX7lwLINZjHrzHq7t5AwDhG4BrqAhw-bnl4Gj1rBpmwOT4GvlB29Mpft-VRLtKzJanWeGLEd6U80jGA/w640-h308/Music.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: "Ink Free"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">

To get divine grace, seek Arunachala. </p><br /><p><img height="7" src="https://agasthiar.org/img/arunachala/arunapakkm.jpg" width="7" /> <i>The Arunachala hill is so charged with spiritual energy that spiritual benefits get magnified manifold here. <img height="7" src="https://agasthiar.org/img/arunachala/arunapakkm.jpg" width="7" /> Spiritual activities conducted in Arunachala are thousand times more efficacious when compared to other places. </i></p><p><i><img height="7" src="https://agasthiar.org/img/arunachala/arunapakkm.jpg" width="7" /> Arunachala is constantly buzzing with millions and millions of Siddhas in their subtle form. <img height="7" src="https://agasthiar.org/img/arunachala/arunapakkm.jpg" width="7" /> These Siddhas bestow countless spiritual blessings on the devotees engaged in spiritual pursuits in Arunachala. <img height="7" src="https://agasthiar.org/img/arunachala/arunapakkm.jpg" width="7" /> Hence the importance of visiting Arunachala and engaging oneself in spiritual activities there. <img height="7" src="https://agasthiar.org/img/arunachala/arunapakkm.jpg" width="7" />
Whether it be charitable works, service to the poor and the needy,
meditation on the divine name or singing the divine name, do it in
Arunachala and you'll reap untold spiritual benefits which will
contribute to your rapid advancement on the spiritual path. </i><br /><br />So we celebrate your birth twenty one years ago. <br />And may the celebration be worthy of the being you are.<br />But let us remember that you are an ancient being, you have never not existed. this body is twenty one years old but who you are is timeless eternity itself. Who you are is infinite, eternal and unchanging. Who you are is every peaceful, ever harmonious and ever present. You are all knowing, all powerful and truly divine.<br />And in God dancing as Iona let us celebrate every minute of this manifestation never forgetting for an instant that you are All there is.<br /> <br /><br />So the story arises that twenty two years ago I went to India after nearly dying .... <br />I went to Arunachala after three glorious weeks in Mumbai. I went there primarily because it is Ramana's ashram, and your father and I had been reading his teachings for years. At first I wondered why I had left Mumbai where I was literally having the time of my life to venture down South ....<br />And a few months later I realized it was for you. I used to think I called you from there but in retrospect I realize you were preparing me for your arrival in human form. And the significance of you being present there is something I hope you realize.

<br />
It seems that there are no chapters anymore.<br />
There used to be......... but now the pages have no gaps.<br />
There used to be punctuation......... but now the cadence is left to chance.<br />
There used to be beginings and endings,,,,,,,,, but now it is seen that there is no beginning and there is no end.<br />
<br />
Be-loved India dissolved back into the elements on April 14th, 2019 aged 15.<br />
The date that Ramana Maharshi attained Mahasamadi.<br />
Funny thing is that the home, the only home India ever lived in is named Arunachala.<br />
The name of the ashram and the holy mountain.<br />
It is said that the abode of Lord Shiva was Mount Kailash and Arunachala was Lord Shiva Himself.<br />
<br />
So that India died in this auspicious way was re-assuring.<br />
<br />
Last year she was making her way to the market , which she had done for her entire life when a car hit her. Her aorta was cut and she lost much flesh on her back leg, even the paws under her feet.<br />
The vet was amazed she recovered. It took much wound control on many wonderful peoples part.<br />
<br />
She pulled through and regained her bounce to everyone's surprise.<br />
She was the village dog and she just lapped all the love.<br />
<br />
Then on a walk, a dog attacked her. She got minor headwounds.<br />
It is said that animals scent death and attack dying animals.<br />
She was attacked again by a known dog.<br />
<br />
I was agonizing over what to do, she was in pain, and the coldness had set in.<br />
I held her head and looked her in eyes and she said let me go. Help me out.<br />
<br />
So on Sunday morning the 14th June with the first rains falling things unfolded.<br />
Bruno and Ronel were visiting. A fire was made. Candles were lit.<br />
Brahmaranda Swaroopa was playing. <br />
Cian, 24 years now, was coping by digging her grave in the garden , in the rain.<br />
Sage, 22 now was coping by washing the dishes and looking upon the unfolding.<br />
Dell arrived and spoke to India who was lying on the matress.<br />
Ronel held up her paw and Dell inserted the needle.<br />
India was fully in my embrace. I buried my head into hers and chanted Om into her being<br />
as the life force departed. It took a minute, Dell told me when she would shudder and I just<br />
held her tightly.<br />
The three cats were also present in the space.<br />
<br />
This set up was as perfect as any of the home births.<br />
To be able to die in such a way ........ could it be the blessing of all.<br />
<br />
So why have I appeared on this abandoned page again.<br />
Well because it was my tribe and I miss the connections.<br />
And even if none of that comes to bear I promised Iona I would share more of my life.<br />
I can't think of a better way.<br />
<br />
So Iona and Pia, my two god given daughters who both urged me to write about this life.<br />
Here it is, in bits of dribs and drabs.<br />
The catalyst was Iona asking for images of India this morning, and this blog breathed again.<br />
<br />
So in celebration of India.<br />
<br />
She was everyone's dog but it was Tao she adored.<br />
Every morning one would see Tao running across the lawn shirtless to water and India sprinting after him. She would follow him to his gardening jobs and then follow him while he loaded, baked and delivered his sour dough breads around the village.<br />
<br />
She was the one who welcomed the myriad creatures that came to this space.<br />
Never threatening anyone harm. The truest love.<br />
She witnessed a family over 15 years.<br />
With many joys and a handful of sorrows.<br />
She knew the laughter , she witnessed the tears<br />
she knew the hopes and she wept at the fears.<br />
the quintissential giver<br />
whose existence flowed like a river<br />
May you forever roam in this heart<br />
with gratitude for your part<br />
in the creaking, the stretching, the growing of beings<br />
with the potency of the Divine, permeating every scene.<br />
<br />

<br />
It is not often that my actions surprise me. Not in a lack of spontaneity - gosh how do you spell that again....... how to be that again......... and yet this is a tale of this rarity that unfolded.<br />
<br />
One of great power.<br />
<br />
Last week I ventured into town.<br />
Beautiful blue skies with the few chemtrail streaks, vines slowly moving energy to their roots, sacrificing their foilage.<br />
<br />
Entering the village the car in front of me hits a bird.<br />
It rockets and tumbles into the sky simultaneously.<br />
Shit I say. And before I know that I have made a decision , the car is slowed down.<br />
The thought is then there I must check on the bird although I could not see how it could have survived. My next thought is well she is fresh enough to be food for Athena.<br />
<br />
She is standing in the road, very still. Approaching her and reassuring her through clicks she lets me pick her up. I hold her against my chest, she is alert and still.<br />
And very tame. There are tags on her legs and after some investigation it is assertained that she is a racing pigeon from the Eastern Cape. I wondered if the fires in the region may have confused her. Anyway gave my details and awaited .....<br />
<br />
Two days later Penelope is now in my office. She situates herself under the altar.<br />
She is unperturbed by the dogs and cats. Fits right in.<br />
<br />
Two days later still no word from the owner. My office is decorated with pigeon droppings and let us face it birds need to be outdoors. So Penelope finds herself in the garden in a grazing cage. Katie has placed a perch in there for her.<br />
The sun shines gently on her universe.<br />
<br />
A few nights later it is winter solstice <span id="goog_1669744969"></span><span id="goog_1669744970"></span> and a fire is made in the garden. <br />
Hypnotized by the flames and gluewein it is very cold by the time I remember to take Penelope inside. She is shivering. She is lovingly placed in a box with a hot water bottle under a cushion to warm her. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3PIXFGIfciQGRAixEOKfTyjT1RFTKOVU_DDCyVxYqf9d-eiDy2O90dvaScJTBIutN-vhOs3P8tGj8dLRqjSEtWxTvtaGgAQMIT-BlDbGV70xcKYzAn6TtChpvGT-RVoLQN0mbFd6BkNoL/s1600/IMG_20170623_182339.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3PIXFGIfciQGRAixEOKfTyjT1RFTKOVU_DDCyVxYqf9d-eiDy2O90dvaScJTBIutN-vhOs3P8tGj8dLRqjSEtWxTvtaGgAQMIT-BlDbGV70xcKYzAn6TtChpvGT-RVoLQN0mbFd6BkNoL/s640/IMG_20170623_182339.jpg" width="356" /></a><br />
<br />
The next day in the crazing cage, on another perfect winters day Penelope attracts the attention of Athena who flies at the cage to try and reach her. She is relentless.<br />

<br />
Into the late afternoon, sitting under the pecans Katie mentions that she had covered Penelope so intense was Athenas attention. I was sun cupping and had the thought that maybe Athena needs to eat the racing pigeon. Katie walked over and said the exact thing - It was as if Athena herself instigated the thought of the feed.<br />
How did this thought come to two animal lovers at the same time? <br />
and our response....<br />
<br />
Well before I go into that racey issue I need to recount a life event.<br />
Not major. But still in the memory banks.<br />
When Sage was much younger and was being unschooled he wanted to do falconeering. When I was interviewed they asked if he would have a second.<br />
I knew nothing and they explained that because you have to hunt for raptors until they can hunt for themselves, you need a substitute should you be unable to aid the food quest.<br />
There was no second for him and falconeering was delayed for many years.<br />
<br />
Until now. With this bird. <br />
Sage who gave Penelope her name had gone away for a few days. <br />
There was no food for her. <br />
A storm was coming up. <br />
Last time Sage had gone away she had gone looking for food and nearly being killed. <br />
<br />
So in that second that I broke the cardinal rule of this house, that no animal that has been named can be fed to snakes or such. There were breeders and they were never to be prey. And yet when Athena was able to hunt Penelope , I became a second .....<br />
<br />
We removed the covering from the grazing space and Athena leapt in.<br />
I walked away with my heart in my throat.<br />
<br />
She ate the bird for two days.<br />
It took incredible effort.<br />
She ripped off the head and pulled everything out.<br />
Her eyes were blinking with the perfection of this meal for days.<br />
<br />
After the hunt she matured greatly. A deep peace. Lots of closed eye time, not that constant seeking ......<br />
<br />
With my tent still being unlivable I headed upstairs to a bedroom.<br />
A part of this ancient building that the owl has not ventured before.<br />
<br />
This morning in the darkness, I opened the door to hear the sounds of the trees and there was Athena to greet me as I greeted the slowly rising sun.<br />
<br />
She spent the day there hanging out with me. And how could I go anywhere else when she was so very present.<br />
<br />
She saw my eyes with her half hooded eyes and gave the most complete darshan.<br />
<br />
So I just wanted to share my surprise of how the much cared for Penelope became Athena.<br />

I seem to have lost my way in the world somehow.<br />
Perhaps necessary for loneliness to grow to alone-ness.<br />
There was a time, literally a few blinks of the eyelids ago, when I was forging my way into the wilderness with 4 young kids, breaking every rule of conventional parenthood. None of it which has seriously turned round to bite me on the arse.<br />
<br />
And there was a page that gave my words space to fly, and this life expression a stage to be shared.<br />
I loved the space and the people that came to visit.<br />
We would visit each others blogs and share insights and love ......<br />
and then the internet changed and it was easy to click and click and click and click and click and click and click.<br />
In this case anyway -<br />
On a constant search that could never be satisfied.<br />
Some days I would open the browsing history and would be appalled at the amount of mindless data I had regurgitated into the digital ethers, forever to roam in their substancelessness.<br />
<br />
And in between bathing in the truth of the true teachings.<br />

But increasingly ice-o-lating myself from all but the household.<br />
<br />
Today this blog insisted on being opened up again.<br />
To reconnect in a way that requires effort and integrity.<br />
To share at these times when we really need to share.<br />
And mostly to love ...... in the way we have all mastered.<br />
<br />
Life since I last wrote evolved and swung about in seemingly impossible happenings.<br />
Strength has proven the greatest ally.<br />
The new agers postulate forgiveness - which means surrender to what is and make it alright. Which suits the nefarious agenda brilliantly. But I have done a fair shair of riding into battle.<br />
<br />
I recall finding young children required sustantial energy, but older children becoming adults who had not been schooled by the system but by Alan Watts and Terrance McKenna (their choice) required energy and leaps in understanding that I never knew possible. They travelled to realms I could not compute and taught me to see.<br />

Tao went off to Germany as predicted when he was very young - that he would be a traveller. Iona decided not only did she want to finish high school but that she wanted to attend one in the city. So her and Pieter are in the city for the duration of this project.. And I do have to mention how she is absolutely thriving. She has such a total love of knowledge and learning. So my precious daughter moved out into the world. And returns here on long weekends and holidays where she marvels at the peace, space, familiarity.<br />

So remaining in the McGregor hamlet were Cian, Sage and myself.<br />
Cian and Sage were in a rather restless space feeling trapped in a small village with no prospects. And no girls (like none)....... And a high police interest. <br />
Although the high home continued to be a magnet to the youth and there was always a happening.<br />
Nevertheless they were restless. Purposeless.<br />
<br />
One day they went out for a walk and Cian told Sage, that he was ready to meet his spirit animal.<br />
The very next day some children brought two very young spotted eagle owl chics to us that were covered with ants. The nest on the ground had been cleared. They were very young.<br />
The sibling did not make it.<br />
Cian would wake up at night, he was the first protector. It was an
intense introduction to fatherhood. That owl brought such meaning to
him and she loved and adored him. <br />
<br />
The brothers spent their days making darts to shoot prey for her. <br />
They became master hunters.<br />
In the heat they would head out seeking food. Hours upon summer hours. <br />
Knowing at a young age the responsibility of providing sustenance for another.<br />
<br />
I recall one day sitting in the garden. Athena was on a log in front of me. She was still fluffy and her eyes were yellow, we were looking directly at each other. Her yellow eyes blinked and when they opened a second later they had turned golden.<br />
To be witness to that ..... there are no words.<br />

Athena was getting wilder and wilder Spending more time flying around the village. People would stop me in the street to explain how she had flown to their space and landed on them as they were asking life changing questions. She was like a wandering shaman. But she always returned . <br />
<br />
Cian was offered an opportunity away from home. He leapt at it. <br />
Sage took over the care of Athena. And then he signed on for an anti rhino poaching unit. The day he left Athena left....... And I was all alone in a sprawling ancient home without this power being.<br />
<br />
A rastafarian found some chjildren, some distance awy beating her with sticks.<br />
They were in the process of killing her. He had been in this garden and had met her so he intervened and brough a broken spirited being back. Not only spirit, her one eye was damaged, as well as a wing and a leg.<br />

Sage returned - she needed regular food to build up - she needed her caregiver.<br />
<br />
And slowly she healed.<br />
She was smudged.<br />
She was sung to.<br />
She was fed lots.<br />
<br />
The other day she was sitting on a totem pole in the garden.<br />
My back was turned to her.<br />
A voice reminded me of how since she had come into my life, the only song, I had sung was a mantra to Kali. My daily song. And how often when she was very young when I would chance this young bird would come and sit by my feet with her head bowed forward. So I turned around and sang it to her. <br />
At the moment I turned around she was in owl mode. Eyes wide open making an occasional owl grunt. Alert, wide eyed. And then her ears raised and she closed her eyes and they became heavy lidded Buddha eyes. She would open them and for a moment glance at him, direct darshan from a Master in the body of an owl. <br />
Sage came into the garden and immediately she became an owl again, wide eyed and grunting.<br />

<br />
There are so many in this household, residents and guests, and outsiders who have their own stories to tell of their profound interactions with her.<br />
<br />
Last night there was a vicious storm.<br />
I abdicated the tent and came indoors.<br />
Athena was brought inside where she sometimes sits as a sentry on the fridge.<br />
There was a roaring fire which was warming 4 humans, 3 cats, 2 dogs.<br />

<br />
For those who have read this blog in the past - the past few threads have been somewhat different.<br />
Having scribed the words of Sri Sadguru Sidderameshwar Maharaj - it is those words that want to be shared.<br />
<br />
Becaueup to date, what has been shared are appearances appearing on the screen and what the Guru speaks of and points to is the screen itself.<br />
<br />
In times like these where I literally have come to doubt everythng, it is beautiful and a relief to have tasted moments where doubt does not exist.<br />
Still deeply in the world of duality with dips into Self - I offer these words to anyone drawn to reading them and should it be you - then Know you have been Seen by the Seer, the Sadguru Himself.<br />
<br />
This dimension is collapsing on itself - we have been sold idols of no depth .<br />
Any major spiritual teacher within the last 50 years is to be discounted.<br />
We have been taught that the ancient Guru - Disciple path is foolish and we all know the answers lie within.<br />
<br />
What we have not been told is that inTruth one is guided to Realization through the Saints. Such profound offerings can be discovered in this realm - on the very same medium through which we get our temporal fix of Illusion.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So Thus he spake:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Doubting Thomas</b> <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>"The Saddhu" has become the Reality.<br />Who should we call a Sadhu (a Saint)?<br />Only He, who has become " Reality" that "We are Brahman" that "All is Brahman"etc. </b><br />
<b>To say or conceive that one has become somebody and that someone is transforming into something else, is nothing but the game of ego.</b><br />
<b>Our being "good" or being "bad" is a kind of bonday that compels us to remain in a body.</b><br />
<b>Actually there is nothing but Brahman. </b><br />
<b>As it is not possible for a rabbit to have horns, it is not possible for anything other than Brahman to exist. Therefore it can rightly be said that doubt has been banished beyond the universe. The doubt is itself the nature of the individual, the jiva. The jiva is gone, and with it, doubt is gone.</b><br />
<b>The main doubt pertains to "Who am I?" or "Who should I be?". When I am convinced of who I am, and how I am, then the doubt disappears. It goes beyond the universe.<br />In Reality, doubt is non existent.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A Saint is like sugar. It does not matter whether it is stored vertically or horizontally, it remains sugar. Similarly, a Saint might be in any situation, but he is still a Saint.<br />He is neither fresh nor stale, neither pure nor impure. That which is pure, can never become impure. The Saint is that "Pure Reality"</b><br />
<b>The quality of the tongue or stomach is not affected by the taste of food. Similarly, when the entirety of existence is looked upon by a Saint, he does not discriminate as to whether anything is auspicious or not. People think that it is auspicious for a bride to put her right foot first while entering the home. Such concpets are superstitious and only breed doubt. The doubt of the Saint is vanished from the universe. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Guruputras who have attained Knowledge are accustomed to getting experience according to their determination or faith. To reach the convicton about anything is possible in two ways. </b><br />
<b>One is total devotion to the Guru, and the other is through intense austerities or ascetic practices. These austere practices must be firmly fixed in purpose. This is clearly stated in the Vedanta. If even once the understanding is imparted by the Guru, one's Consciousness is transfomed, it is Brahman.<br />The Saint is one with the Absolute. One whose doubt is gone is the Saint. There must be faith in the teaching of the Guru. When one has no Self - Knowledge, and does not know who one is, one must try to concentrate the mind with all of one's determination. When we think that the teaching of the Guru is not true, it is by that doubt we remain as an individual. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The path of rituals and actions (path of karma) is full of all kinds of doubts. Suppose a brahmin (someone of the priest caste) bathes in a river and then proceeds towards him home. If someone says that an untouchable has touched the water, immediately the bath is useless. They way that if a mantra is not chanted in sanskrit, it is not true and proper. All of this is because of the tendency to doubt.</b><br />
<b>Houseflies sit on dirty things and then fly towards good food and sit on that. Doubt makes the food useless. It is only doubt, but the overly careful ritualist throws away the food. It is very difficult to perform any ritual wherein there is no fault, because there are so many who will create misgivings in your mind. it is almost impossible to escape doubt.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There has to be renunciation of karma. One must realize that he is not the doer, the actor. This is very necessary. The sense that is created in our mind, that actions create results, and that we have to suffer those results, is a very powerful poison. </b><br />
<b>Actually, we are not the doers.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In the wake of action, the concept of doership ariss, and in the wake of that doubt arises. Without devotion to the Sadguru, renunciaiton of action will not be understood. Without that understanding you will not be able to drop (karma).</b><br />
<b>The path of action and ritual is full of the pitfalls of doubt. Knowledge, however is without doubt.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There is nothing sacred except Knowledge. Knowledge is pure and sacred. Others want to compel you to give to charity or to do sacrifices in the fire for the fruit that you may receive some comfort. All of this is only for purification of the mind. Through the false, gradually the True is discovered.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The ocean is vast but it is also full of internal disturbances that are continuous day and night. The Saint has no doubt. Desirelessness or ascetisim with a doubtful mind is of a very poor quality"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Everyone should have trust in a Saint who has realized Brahman and get their own emancipation. The indiviudual, who is a non entity, is always imagining things that are not existing. The man/woman who has slain the demon of doubt has gained the entire wisdom of the Vedas. "To Know" is the Vedic Path.</b><br />

God is an ancient devotee who is unified with God.<br />
God should be worshipped by becoming God.<br />
When you become a human, you worship man.<br />
The saint has no anxiety.<br />
If you become Shiva you will be like Shiva.<br />
Only the one who is actually the King, is really King.<br />
<br />
Call yourself Brahman.<br />
If you paint yourself like a tiger you have to act like a tiger.<br />
Similarly, you have to attain the state of Shiva by force of your effort.<br />
When the spotless and pure Sadguru is met, everything is finished.<br />
<br />
Only by becoming Shiva, can you attain the state of Shiva. Then that State<br />
itself will come and put a garland around your neck.<br />
<br />
From the book : 'Master Of Self Realization' by Shri Sadguru Siddearameshwar Maharaj. <br />

Sitting by the wildedagga plant which was providing nectar for the sunbirds, <br /> a friend asked what I wish I had learnt at school.<br />
I semi flippantly said carpentary. I would so love to work with wood.<br />
<br /> <br /> I find myself being asked by the Totality of Being what I wish for:<br />
One boon: <br />
The request was for the boon of devotion.<br />
Above liberation, above the mundane phyiscalities.<br />
<br />
<br />
The seer in the eyes<br /> the listener in the ears<br />
the taster in the taste<br /> <br />
<br />

Looking out onto the screen of illusion this morning I was taken with
this image of the<br />
ultimate welfare family meeting the ultimate
destroyer of freedoms.<br />
What the fuck is a child doing in a dressing
gown whilst these players are playing their game.<br />
What is the message?
So we have the queens 90th birthday, Obama visits and the young<br />
british
prince is there and then funny that the same day Prince apparently
dies. <br />
With his death marketing tools all already available.<br />

Please note how all these 'leaders' 'pricks' are kneeling down to this young boy.<br />
Some message going out there. This farce that we call reality is just getting more and more insane.<br />
<br />
<br />
Many moons ago, seems like lifetimes in a way, a beautiful being came to this village.<br />
The very first time I met her my heart beat that special resonance.<br />
Tao's heart also exploded into love.<br />
She lived with us whilst doing her years work.<br />
Their love is so beautiful to watch as she is truly his beloved as is he hers.<br />
A very simple engagement happened.<br />

<br />
Tao and Naomi with Iona.<br />
<br />
She returned to Germany last August and Tao was to follow in September.<br />
Except that the German government would not let him in.<br />
Visa application after application was denied.<br />
They asked him what on earth would make him return to South Africa after living in Germany.<br />
(Uh duh ) the weather. Maybe because it is not in Europe. <br />
But of course he did not respond. <br />
Also he had not matriculated as per his decision at the age of 18.<br />
So that was also against a visa. Plus add the Syrian refugee crisis.<br />
Naomi returned to Germany and was lovestruck and experienced nausea as a result......<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay so you get it. The nausea is always the give away. Well now chemtrails the<br />
primary cause of nausea but ......<br />
<br />
A Being cruising the Astral saw this Love, so deep and wide and decided to incarnate.<br />
And it was this action that got them together again.<br />
His visa finally came through 3 weeks ago and last night their son, was born.<br />
<br />
My most heartfelt welcome to Emil Leo who was born at midnight.<br />
May he come in with True Knowledge and may he never move away from That.<br />

<br />
<br />
And whilst this was all happening, some weird wind blew in here and caused some damage.<br />
Most damaging was my tent which finally gave in being a tent and became a holey bunch<br />
of sail cloth<br />
and mangled lining. Granted it was patched with duct tape and tarps. <br />
Being forced to sleep indoors left me with a headache and a tenderness.<br />
Not to lie on the mother.<br />
Not to hear her heartbeat<br />
Not to be serenaded by the rooster, owls and daytime choir.<br />
Not to feel the ever moving air blowing in and around me.<br />
Crazy how something so small creates such a feeling of loss.<br />
<br />
Life got pretty crazy here at times.<br />
Was growing the Queen of herbs and some thugs entered the property and ripped them out<br />
when they were still just leaves. They also murdered our guinea pigs brutally. I mean brutally.<br />
I was sleeping in my tent nearby and i can only imagine some presence kept my awareness<br />
from the sound because i would surely have been injured it i knew what was happening.<br />
<br />
My life call right now is fighting for the Master Healing plant to lose its stigma.<br />
No longer hide the fact that I smoke daily and whereas I might have tried to hide it once<br />
I now speak openly. When I am invited somewhere offered alcohol and desist I just say<br />
no thanks I am a smoker. Some mouths hang open. Some carry the news in delight along the<br />
chain of gossip and condemnation. But I have long since given up giving a fuck about personal<br />
opinions.<br />
This healer - not just for cancer and epilepsy, pain and anorexia but as a substance that keeps the<br />
sensitives hearts open in the face of such insanity befalling our beloved planet right now.<br />
Even Islam had a saint of Cannabis. <a href="http://www.spiritleafministries.org/articles/112-the-christ-mass-tree" target="_blank">Khizr - Islam's patron saint of Cannabis</a><br />
Our little hamlet is over run with meth users. But only because the cops catch the growers<br />
and dealers but leave the chemical dealers alone.<br />
Starting guerilla planting everywhere.<br />
Everytime I hitch into town I speak to the people about how this plant is so profound in all lives.<br />
There is normally response it is a drug - no it is a plant.<br />
It destoys lives - no alcohol does.<br />
Slowly people come to recognise that this is something that needs to be addressed.<br />
Set my people free - let them take of the Sacred Medicine.<br />
Some names given for it :<br />
"the Joy-Giver,<br />
the Sky-Flier, <br />
the Heavenly-Guide,<br />
the Poor Man's Heaven,<br />
the Soother of Grief."<br />
In the Santo Daime church where both Ayahuasca and Cannabis (Santa Maria) are consecrated - have shown me to the depths of my being that we are not going to realize without the aid of plants. Not at the stage of denial and stupefaction we have been blown down to.<br />

<br />
Peace by upon us as we move into Truth.<br />
Shattered and bruised we move into Presence/Awareness beyond the veils of illusion.<br />
<br />
Travel far. Travel safely.<br />
May we all reach Home. <br />

I am in the well at Temenos. We meet here weekly to chant. <br />
Today I sit there and this throat won't open.<br />
The heart is heavy.<br />
So many homeless, refugees, displaced, beings.<br />
The immeasurable grief of brothers and sisters.<br />
<br />
I send out a plea to the Totality Of Being to allow Transcendence.<br />
To allow illumination.<br />
To allow Freedom.<br />
To allow Love.<br />
<br />
And If there must first be a cracking - then let there be one NOW.<br />
No more.....................Let us Remember Who We Are ...................<br />
So be it - Amen. Amen. Amen and Amen.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Get comfortable.<br />
Let us feel our ways into the newness that is Here.<br />
Let us acknowledge the shifted lights, the synchronicities, the miracles.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yesterday a long boomslang was spotted in the ash tree by the courtyard.<br />
What incredible portence. What a magical sign.<br />
On the night of the full moon. Serpent magic appears.<br />
<br />
Moving back towards the ancestral path -<br />
listening to the wind, the birds, the stars, the silence,<br />
Watching the grass blow and the dust glow.<br />
Being with the sky as lightness gives way to dark.<br />
Being with the sky as darkness dissolves into light.<br />

<br />
The Spring came through with such a power, such a force.<br />
The village is a buzz with this energy.<br />
Farners in the pub on a Friday night touching their hearts as they speak of this<br />
unknown surge of life and growth.<br />
A million roses right around me with the power of their vibraton zinging through the air.<br />
And in this my youngest entered her moon time.<br />
<br />
The earth, so powerful in her directive and knowing.<br />
So wholly eocompassing in her energetic fields.<br />
The air so skilful at balancing and regulating.<br />
The sun so powerful in radiating and transmitting.<br />
The elementals righting what has been abused for so long via weather control and manipulation.<br />
A higher intelligence manifests.<br />
<br />
<br />
In this reality where at a glance I can see hurricanes, strongest ever seen simply dissipate.<br />
Every day the msm is warning of some catacylsm and it all passes.<br />
The swarms, the floods, the fires etc.....<br />
The earthquakes, the missile launches there is an amazement at how few lives are lost.<br />
Everything that is screamed catacylsm at us turns into a manageable event.<br />
And in dribs and drabs the truth is coming out.<br />
Slowly, slowly, bit by bit.<br />
We have been sold a melt down that need not occur.<br />
That will not occur. <br />
<br />
Perceived so clearly how each one of us has been instrumental in the changes unfolding<br />
as we shift into our interdimensional selves and move away from the prison that has been 3 d reality.<br />
We keep trying to fix it but its nature is entropy. So we move beyond space and time and that changes everythjing. We will not drift off into or onto another earth - we will be here, as what we truly are interdimensional beings.<br />
<br />

<br />
We, who are united by love, with love and as love are alive at this moment to be part of the dawning of the New Earth.<br />
<br />
I know for so many it looks beyond bleak and beyond hope - but by reaching into one''s own Being with the awareness that nothing outside of yourself has any ability to help or heal you. All magic begins within.<br />
<br />
Let us imagine the most beautiful world we could live in without any of the current life limitations.<br />
Imagine your ideal. Picture it in such detail. Add the smells and sounds. If it can exist in imagination than it can manifest.<br />
<br />
I am imagining a life of simplicity. With clear water and rock pools. With medicine ceremonies . With sharing of food, of space. With understanding , integrity, joy, ease of well being. Creativity, movement, song, jBecoming students of nature in a way we have never imagined. <br />
<br />
And to come back to the 3rd dimension I am so looking forward to the crackdown and arrest of the UK elite pedophile group, The arrest of Blair, Bush, Clinton, Cameron, Soros, And I look forward to seeing if we could come up with a creative solution apart from imprisonment. How are we as a new species going to deal with these vile beings who have all but killed humanity at some level. How are we going to forgive and be bright enough, light enough for them to undergo pertubation. Becasue as bodhisatvas, which we all are (nothing extraordinary) we have agreed to remain until everyone Self Realises. Everyone.<br />
<br />
So let us continue to spread the light, the laughter, the joy, the gratitude, the song and the prayer.<br />
And thank you to the Unknowable for this body experience at this moment in time.<br />
<br />

On a misty pre spring day, alive with the newness of the season.<br />
Verdant green fields punctuated with yellow petals adorn the landscape.<br />
There is such a softness , even the ground is springy with moisture.<br />
Indeed there has been a puddle in one street which has lasted for three
weeks.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot stop a deep throated chuckle as
I encourage it to last longer. <br />
Puddles are an unknown here.<br />
The spring birds are out, the raw milk is so rich and creamy, the hens,
well the hens , they are just laying so prolifically.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nature is being so abundant.
In every glance, every breath, every sound there is the Divine expressing
itself.<br />
In the midst of this I suddenly felt stirrings in my heart.<br />
And my friends that I have not hugged in person came to the sacred
space deep in my chest.. Nina, Zoner, Bholonath, John, Tim, Scrap JJ.
What a presence. How much love do I hold for you. What space
did we truly meet up in that finds us all these years later still
wondering, still caring, still wanting to hug the brother/sister hood.<br />
The journey that we started on, found me taking suicidal chances in raising
my children.<br />
And for me a vital, vital part of being human is in raising consciousness.<br />
I was open to the plants and their teachings.<br />
<br />
Tao is a grower of food and herbs.<br />
Cian is the rock of the earth and an artist and farmer.<br />
Sage, well he is an alchemist and probably my great teacher. He had
a particularly challenging journey in that at one point he was into crystal
m----. He spent hours listening to Terrance McKenna and Alan Watts.
Healed completely. Hermes is his inspiration. San Pedro his teacher
and friend. Multi dimensional being.<br />
Iona is alsmot grown <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is now a published
poet, in two anthologies. Pushing to go to another school next year
so I might step into Cape Town.<br />
All those years my friends kids were excelling at really good schools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And all i was doing was growing herbs, baking
bread and keeping the fires burning.<br />
And did I mention that they are the most unspoilt human beings you will meet.<br />
<br />
There were all those years when I really felt I had failed so abjectly.<br />
Born into a world that had no culture, made no sense whatsoever.<br />
Never learnt what i was meant to learn at school –like how to be successful in
this world.<br />
Always just looking and shaking my head. All I wanted was to have greater
understanding to that it would make sense.<br />
It seemed like I was not manifesting abundance because I was not in the
vortex, or bad karma. The extreme financial hardship made me feel less
than good enough or deserving.<br />
Until it did not any more.<br />
I have come to see how every single step, detour, fall down, elevation has
been to lead me to the space where what I value most in my outer world is less
stuff <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and greater simplicity.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not in a cutesy, homely, cottagey way – just
in the acceptance of what is present and the de=light in that presence.<br />
<br />
Today I smelt the first jasmine of spring. Discovered a white lavender
bush. Walked whilst singing sacred names, holding a whole lot of
love in my heart for all who read these words. <br />
Should you wish to hug just ring the bell.<br />

<br />
<br />
surrounded by other cracking psyches, I petition intelligence to change the scene, to give some space and ease to all of us who :<br />
<br />
<br />
who have fought the fight<br />
who have shone with courage<br />
who quivered with strength<br />
who has just managed to play along with this existence and it's insanity.<br />
<br />
no one is being spared.<br />
we have gone from incredulous to silent, worn, in watch mode,<br />
seemingly fallen from grace.<br />
<br />
to all who feel unworthy due to their lack of successs, lack of riches, lack of parenting awards, lack of anything - maywe know the fullness of being and its attendant peace.<br />
<br />
to all those who just keep falling off the wheel - those who are just lain out, hollowed and disbelieving - may we re-discover the magnificence of your being.<br />
<br />
and may the eternal mother father God recognise our journey and how much it has taken in effort and courage, and may that loving God grant us respite.<br />
may the loving God grant humanity ease, sense of well being.<br />
a time of anxiouslessness o of peace, of joy, of recovery, of celebration, of jubilation.<br />
<br />
may we all experience a miracle this Christ season.<br />
may we all just have a chance to breathe and smile again in the certainty that I am.<br />
<br />
with much, much love to all who read this , you know who you are.<br />
and if any of you know the art of prayer - please pray on my self and family. <br />

Again my intention is to write more often and again I find myself spending free time in the garden watching the light infuse the leaves, the blossoms, the bees. And in that space I am captivated and unable to tear away from. So forgive me my absence, it is in physicality and words only and not in heart.<br />
<br />
It is my intention to fil you in on where I am stainding in life right now.<br />
What happened with the unschooling, the new tribes, the imminent changes and such.<br />
Butuntil I manage that with its attendant sorrows, I am posting soup recipes.<br />
Nothing hidden in that title.<br />

<a href="http://www.bodhi-khaya.co.za/#!about/c161y" target="_blank">The last weekened saw Pieter, Iona and self heading off towards Stanford - to a retreat held by an old friend Georgina and capable helpers</a> And although in truth we know we are never born and never die, for celebration purposes we were celebrating her 60th earth day. <br />
Starting on a Friday night with a mushroom ceremony as the moon entered Scorpio, allowing some deeply buried stuff to move out with overwhelming intensity for many.<br />
And then the weekend simply unflowed, with much san pedro.deep connecting, gardening, resting, laughingsilencing, voicing, and all the time celebrating. Needless to say the eating was high up on the list. And thus the point of this very overdue blog. Because I undertook to capture and share the recipes and chose the format to do so , so that my beloved blog tribe can also participate.<br />

The most beautiful Gioni and her grandbabes, Coco and Ava.<br />
<br />
So the first one is :<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Sweet potato, spinach and coconut soup</u><br />
<br />
<br />
1 tspn paprika <u></u><br />
1 tbsn ginger (grated)<br />
<u></u><br />
1 tbsn garlic (crushed)<br />
1 large onion (chopped)<br />
1 tspn curry paste (thai green)<br />
600ml veg stock<br />
Juice of 1 lime<br />
1/4 tsp crushed chilli (skins only)<br />
2 cups fresh spinach (chopped coarsely)<br />
1 tin coconut milk<br />
1 large sweet potato (cubed)<br />
2 tbsns oil.<br />
<br />
- fry chopped onion with curry paste, ginger and garlic until soft, add sweet potato and fry for a minute.<br />
add stock and boil till tender but not soft, add lime juice and coconut oil, paprika, chilli and boil for a further 5 minutes.<br />
-let cool slightly and puree half of the soup.<br />
-bring back to boil and once it starts to boil add spinach and serve.<br />
<br />
Sitting around the fire on Saturday night, some frequent ceremony goers voted this without doubt the best soup ever. A very high recommendation.<br />
<br />
<u>Zuchhini Soup</u><br />
<br />
1 chopped onion<br />
1 pack zucchini cut into rings<br />
1 tbsn thyme<br />
600ml veg stock<br />
1 tub cream cheese.<br />
<br />
-fry onion with thyme until soft<br />
-add zuchini and stock and boil for 30 minutes<br />
-remove from heat and add cream cheese<br />
-let it cool and liquidize soup.<br />
-bring back to the boil and remove from heat<br />
as soon as the first buttles appear.<br />
-Serve with sprinkle of cayenne pepper. <br />
<br />
And on that note I love and leave you to do a spring walk, with the aromatic scents bursting forth.<br />
<br />
How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?<br />

Why do something you dread a few around me asked.<br />
Well sometimes the heart decides on something and despite the antics of the mind a decision is held to.<br />
And thus I find myself travelling with much trepidation to a venue where I have decided to follow an ancient path of intitiaiton. When you do one vision quest you align yourself to completing the 7, 9 and 13 day quests as well. This, the four day one is to bring about humility.<br />
Tao, my 20 year old son is with me.<br />
<br />
Leading up to this moment in time, I had prayed for it and prayed for it to be cancelled with equal fervour.<br />
For me the thought of 4 days wihtout shelter was okay, 4 days without food was okay, 4 days without water would be the difficult and not without danger - so mind spend many hours singing to me.<br />
And the cold. Only natural fibers could be taken up and I had no waterproofing and no groundsheet.<br />
Where was my large, thick sheepskin - purely in the land of wishful thinking.<br />
So once again I am the underprepared one.<br />
A duvet , a coat , a grass mat and two sweaters are packed into a non plastic bag.<br />
When I see my fellow questers and their organization the doubts once again come surging in .<br />
<br />
<br />
We sit in the sweat lodge. They have chosen large stones. And because on the Red Path, the numbers 13, 9, 7 and 4 are the numbers of stones used. It is intense. So much is sweated out that I doubt I have any moisture left in this body. And from there straight to be planted on the mountains. No washing the muddied sweat of us - not a sip of water as we cross the gurgling stream. Seven men and seven women - 14 in total climb the mountain to be planted in our space where we will remain for 4 days and 4 nights. 14 of us - on the 14/4/2014. The night of the cardinal cross and the blood moon.<br />
In the sweat we gave up our voices to the silenceand in that space we left the community and went to meet ourselves.<br />
<br />
<br />
We walked up to a space which was to be my womb for the next 4 days and 4 nights. I was immediately disappointed. Life can be such a bitch. I had been told as I was the eldest I would probably get the nicest spot at the top, smooth and easy. Instead I am placed first, closest to the water and not a square inch of flatness or space to be comfortable in. And did my mind react violently to this discomfot. And how do you know life wants you to have something - because it gives it to you. Simone and Beth had decided back at support base that they probably would have to move me but when they came up to do so - it was one of the few short minutes in those 96 hours that I actually had slept and with that comforting them they left me in the lair.<br />
<br />
We had been taught how to breathe in water from
the air and the remarkable thing was that my mouth never ran dry. I
had very strong images of the ceremonial bucket used in the 4 tobacco
ceremonies and the cup used to serve the sacred water. I saw this
vessel more than anything else. It became the Grail. Sacred water
was my only desire. <br />
<br />
Originally it was my intention to pray solidly with the mantras that I had come to cherish and savour. I had looked upon it in the lead up as an opportunity for uninteruppted devotion. An hour after being planted I stepped into eternity. This time there would have no end, forever I would be alone on the mountain. I wore my fingers numb counting the days and nights, just hoping that I might have miscounted. The mantras mouthed silently dried up at the end of the first day. They would not be spoken, sung or contracted in any way whatoever.<br />
<br />
The mornings and evenings the conches would be blown in the 4 directions, and the most heartfelt prayers would be sung. It was the coldest time of the day. The first morning, madrinho Simone sang with such heartfelt love and passion that a sob from the deepest part of my being was born and rumbled in and around the earth. And in between those prayers my monkey mind was king. Uncontrollable. Nothing to distract it. Like a stuck record complaining over and over again about the spot I was planted on. Blah blah blah blah. You all know the relentlessness of the mind - well meet it without a single distraction and you have a version of hell. I questioned what I was doing up there - vowed I would never ever do anything on the medicine path again. So much like childbirth. The joy of being in early labour, then the exhaustion and despair and the vow to never allow this to happen to your body again. Then the relief of the birth and holding the living child. Except I was a long way from the relief. And in between, the issue of homelessness of my fellow humans would not leave me alone. Eyes of despair and hopelessnes kept appearing. Heartbreak and loss, aloneness and abandonment, war and refugees, hundreds and hundreds of eyes kept tapping on my soul. The pain of life for the majorty of humanity became my shroud up on the mountain.<br />
<br />
In a moment of absolute desparation I remember to follow the breath. To set a peg at every master number - 11 -22-33-44-55-66-77-88-99 and on each master number to be present to what arose. Suddenly mind was no loger ruler - it was being entertained by keeping count and the heart would utter something on the number and a smile would arise and the count would continue. Teachers, saints, loved one's, elements, aspects of nature, places needing healing, qualities, attributes, essence arose one after the other in full presence. That first day that I found myself in Living Prayer, 3800 conscious breaths unfolded, each with a wish a prayer, and gratitude. A place of great stillness and peace.<br />
<br />
The 3rd night I had a dream that I was with a long dead friend of mine - in the dream the question of him being alive or not did not arise, all that did exist was my delight at being with him again. I wanted to let Pieter know where I was but the phone gave a mesasge that a call could not be made from that dimension. The next moment a wave of heat , unlike anything I had every known engulfed me and woke me up. I threw the duvet off and stripped naked on that mountain, despit the low temperature. My heart was pounding as if I had just received the largest non fatal dose of adrenaline. And then in the distance I heard the support/love team singing the Santo Daime, Santa Maria hinario. The sacred fire in the altar in the night was the Daime cross and it was pointing straight towards me.<br />
<br />
And yet, despite the absolutely overwhelming miracle of unfoldment that was present, mind reasserted itself on the final morning. Restless, having had enough and still bitching about the sloping piece of land I awaited the harvest. When Beth and Simone approached me and hugged me a sob arose. That human contact was the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced.<br />
<br />
We went straight into another sweat lodge still with no water, so all the water that had been in our bodies had been sweated, urinated out. The third round we smoked the sacred tobacco and our voices came back via song and sharing. And then that cup of water from the ceremonial bucket was passed around and I have never in my life been more grateful for anything more. New water for the body. We drank, and drank. Had watermelon and grapes in water. The most delicous food I have ever eaten. And drank some more and were then adviced to eat some soup to replace saline. And the body held onto the water for 16 hours before it would pass any of it through . This whole body of water that I am was anew and afresh.<br />
<br />
And from there we moved straigth into the closing 4 tobacco ceremony where I found my place in the grand scheme of things and arrived home. Surrounded by such clarity, love, understanding, faith, wisdom, ancient knowledge I was welcomed as True Being.. The little me, the chattering monkey mind with all her stuff is still on the mountain, surrounded by the prayer flags and the sacred mountain air. I send her love and gratitude.<br />
<br />
I am indebted to the keepers of the ancient knowledge.<br />
To the beings who with such love and such dilligence enabled this transistion.<br />
To the songs, to the elders, to the sacred fire, to Mother Earth, to the knowing.<br />
To my family who encouraged me and allowed me my doubts and encouraged me to follow through.<br />
To Iona who the night before went around the mountain in the pouring rain, praying for my safety.<br />
To Beth and Enio for the wisdom and the message.<br />
To Mike and Simone for holding the vision and for the land. <br />
To the very generous being who donated and allowed this to happen.<br />
And to Life itself and all her ascended masters.<br />
To the bat, the dragonfly and scarab beetle who came to reasure me. <br />
<br />
Aho Metakiase<br />
<br />
I find myself in the evening sitting by the fire, making the prayer flag for next year when God willing I will do the 7 day Quest. <br />

<br />
Self doubt arises again. Pulling one into a vacuum where you
just go deeper and deeper into the absurdity of mind. <br />
For a while I found a bay of safety and understanding to park my
boat. <br />
When I first happened upon the invitation – the first time in my life where
an offer was extended to me to rest in safe waters. And it
was absolutely sincere and of full value. So grateful was I for the
offer that even if the harbour had turned out to be tumultuous it would not
have detracted from the mere fact t that it was such a long awaited invitation.<br />
<br />
I really could use that. Still. Safe.
Protected.<br />
And in many, many ways I am. Probably I am sure that at least 6.9
billion people would envy my life.<br />
There is no war near me. A friend was attacked in his home
last year in McGregor and nearly died, but that was shocking in its
rarity. The weather, well while you beings in the northern
hemisphere were being whacked left, right and centre, our days here
were blissful. A gentle summer with some gifts of unexpected
rain. the usual extreme high temps but absolutely life
threatening climate.<br />
There is food to eat, and Tao is visiting so we are eating well.
So why the self doubt. What is it that makes me feel I am out of the bay,
my ship is tumbling aimlessly in a huge ocean of futility.<br />

<br />
<br />
Pieter and I needed to cross a mountain to return home. We were
sitting on a large picnic blanket with two friends - financially successful
friends who party and wine and dine. We are the very poor
relatives. They ask if we have gas to get home. They know us
well. Pieter smiles and says yes and I think yeah, thank you
Life. They leave. On the blanket is a gas container. In
the dram I don’t ask Pieter how that gas can make a car run. Instead I
smile beamingly and say yes, we have petrol. He looks at me and his face
saddens and tells me no we don’t. But he was not going to say no
because he did not want to be given. I need to find some
shoes to cross the mountain. We walk to a house just off the road.
In the dark the light from the windows is orange, warm inviting. We step
into the home and it is just simplicity but also of such beauty.
There is an aura of abundance and grace. The meal is being
prepared. My heart yearns for this ease. It
is all relative. Someone is yearning for what I have. We set off into
the night to go over the mountain and only tool we have is a head torch.
Pretty rich symbology.<br />
<br />
I awaken at 4.33 - the owls are silent. Normally I would get up out of
the tent, pull a sleeping bag over me and head to the chair. And
normally at this time the black hen and her five teens are as dark as the sky
and yet somehow they stand out. Normally I watch them because they move
out of the lavender bush which had become their nest onto the lawn and stand
together tightly but all with their heads bowed. They stand very still in
this position And those of you who know their fowl know they rarely stand
still. After many minutes the rooster crows. And after a few
rounds they move out of their sacred circle and into the slowly awakening
day. Normally I witness this with absolute no diminishment of awe and
wonder. The most potent time of day. The awakening to a
new day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But today I say no to any possible abidance in the magic that lies before
me.<br />
I am feeling uncomfortable but when I try to feel the feeling it becomes
clear I can’t feel the feeling I can only think what I am feeling.
In that moment.<br />
A thought arises listing the possible productive steps and actions I could
follow that day. I could help with the cobbling of the path, I could
do some watering, I could have taken up any meditation of
action. Made a cup of tea. Absolutely anything. <br />
I have come to understand of late how vital gratitude
is.. To trust that everything that unfolds is by divine
decree and perfect. And a lot of the time it flows in gushes and yet
there are many things that I am unable to accept let alone be grateful for - .
I can’t give thanks for the fact that the planet is facing imminent
extinction, or the injustices against us people manifested every day
through the usury financial system. . Or the felling of a nearby forest
which left the river bed completely stripped of its century old
sentinels. The wild life all gone in a few days. The wood chips
exported to the USA and the wood to England. Two guys got the contract
and made millions. Why was that allowed? Why were the
people not allowed to benefit ? So there is much I am really unable to be
grateful for and that is where this vacuumed feeling arises from.<br />
<br />
As a kid my superpower was that I could stop people from harming other
people or animals just with the power of my mind. As I grew older I would
take on greater and greater challenges. My mind would take me to
places where children were forced into prostitution and I would be able to not
only free them but paralyse those who were responsible for their slavery.
I would every night go around the world putting things right.<br />
<br />
And then I suddenly morphed into middle age and found myself having faced a
little bit too much reality to believe in super powers
anymore. All I could see was the suppression, the subjugation
the power against the powerlessness. The script become so tardily
written that we all immediately call out the lies, and yet they continue to
feed them to us. Continue to beat the drums of a complete destruction of
the higher human qualities. The Zionists have effectively
reduced our examples from beings such as the Prophets and their followers to
caricatures with no redeeming qualities. The celebrities have taken
the place of the mystics and the learned one’s. When
the people we are taught to respect are people Steven Jobs then I say Why
- he ran a good business, paid the factory workers in China
badly, made a lot of money - why do we call him a visionary?
Why are we not shown those beings who speak to each other in a way that takes
ones breath away. At the re-memberance and at the quality.
Why are we not shown examples of beings who do make a difference. Who do
put things right. Imagine if we were shown examples of the highest
communication possible.<br />
How can we raise ourselves up if that which we are being shown is in the
filth?<br />
<br />
I decide I am going to walk until there is a shift. If it takes
all day I will walk around and around my village with India. I will huff
and puff and find a way through. A street sweeping crew
is just ahead.<br />
Some dust arises from their actions and a piece of paper is airborne.
It flies up determinedly until its heaviness brings it back to
earth. Right by my feet. I pick it up and in blue writing there are
the words <br />
Expect a miracle. I hand it over to the one sweet sweeper. She
smiles and pockets it.<br />
<br />
I have received that message before. When the boys were very young and
we had gone on a birthday outing and when it came time to go home the car would
not start. Young babes, supper time and that heart wrenching moment
you all know as parents when you have to start improvising big
time. The car next to us had a bumper sticker extorting us to expect
a miracle. <br />
<br />
I go to the village retreat. The gardens are always beautiful.
Sprnklers spraying, sun shining, water sparkling, breeze breathing.
A most perfect day – I walk towards the library. A pea hen is at the door
with her 6 babes. I look at all these books and again that numbness
presented itself. My eye was drawn to a book of no discerneble colour,
shape or size. Out of the hundreds in front of me my hands
reached out for a book entitled “The Power of Miracles” and the
numbness vanished.<br />
<br />
I want to return to the belief that I could perform miracles - that it
is our birthright to be miracle workers. I want to heal the world
around me. I want to offer safety to all the innocents:
plants, animals, minerals, humans. I don’t want
to suddenly enter the workplace and be successful, no I came with a super
power and it is my intention to awaken that.<br />
<br />
On the 14<sup>th</sup> of April some Brazilians of love and integrity will
be landing on our shores again.<br />
On the 13<sup>th</sup> there will be a Santo Daime ceremony and two days
later a on the 13<sup>th</sup> there will be a Santo Daime ceremony and two
days later a four tobacco gathering. The morning afterwards a
few of us climb solo into the mountain where we remain alone for 4 days and 4
nights with no food or water.<br />
We are allowed one pure wool blanket and a tarpaulin and warm
clothing.. One needs 365 pouches with tobacco in them and some
bigger prayer flags to place around one. Some conscious
preparation. At the base camp there is prayer and support for
those visioging. One ends the vision quest with
another 4 tobacco happening. Tao will also be
questing. He has paid for his by living on the mountain for some months
doing work to pay for it.<br />
<br />
Now for the me the 4 tobacco’s are always appealing. The ritual, the
fire keeping , the presence, the message from spirit -
the presence of the people destined to be in the circle, all much
desired. The being in the mountain at zero degrees, maybe
wet, certainly uncomfortable. Sleep kept to a minimum. There
is nothing about this that appeals to me.<br />
I can do discomfort - I really can - but 96 hours is like a really long
flight without the comfort of a cabin. And yet I know that this is what
is needed for my super power to re emerge. <br />
To untangle the lie of powerless I have been sold. <br />
To untangle the lie of lack of innocence that I have come to
believe. <br />
The lie of unworthiness which has become my second skin. <br />
This space time event where eventually the ego cannot exist as the body is
just switches to survival mode. To spend four days, undisturbed in
the Presence of the Divine Being.<br />
<br />
<br />
So here is where you come in, those of you whom I call my friends and those
new to this page.<br />
I have put a donate button here so that there can be a financial miracle
which will allow me to actually embark on the Question of Vision.
This re-emergence of my powers as being a force of good.<br />
<br />
Because to end as we began with a quote from one of these beings I spoke of
as being of such respect and sincerity Hazrat Khan - <i>‘
The moment a prisoner feels that he will no longer remain in the prison,
the prison bars must break instantly, of themselves’.</i>

</span>The only way we could do this was by 24 hour long bus drives each
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each way was a journey where I
really admired this young woman travelling with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not an easy journey and yet with her company
it was special and memorable in its own way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Molly Grace arrived by grace and with grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And although my daughter has other children that

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">Two evenings before I departed
from the grand children, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a dream
where I was in the rain forest and a very small being knighted me with the
branch of a vine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was then told to
attend a ceremony homeward bound the night after I arrived home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There had been no sleep whatsoever on the
bus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came home, greeted animals and
kids after a month’s absence, packed the ceremonial bag <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and headed off on another journey.</span></div>

had never been before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each ceremony I
had experienced had been on a farm in the mountains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deep into stillness, very close to the
stars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tonight we had driven into the
city. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cars racing by all the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Transience being a dominant quality. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The venue was an antique shop<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>just off the roadways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was a roaring welcoming fire outside
and inside there was much stuff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A crocodile
skin stretched out on the stairs,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>three
huge buck heads on the wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead of
our usual plastic chairs we had choices of all kinds of luxuries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was fascinating to see how the choices
that were being made were not for the benefit of the group as they usually were
but rather the desire for personal comfort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All this stuff and its accordant history and that that attached to the
energy of the objects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was really
tired and questioned how I would do an all night ceremony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I was there and I over rode my basis
sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something said just go and sit by
the fire, sing the songs out there but don’t sign up for this one.</span></div>

way I could regulate my breathe or hold myself at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It became apparent that there was a war
happening and it was happening in me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How could there be war anywhere but inside oneself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two forces, duality – warring in a way that
would not allow the taking of prisoners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I realized I was not either side but rather that which was
watching/knowing the unfolding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
because I was not vested in good or bad but rather observation there was no
vested interest in any outcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
hours this went on – and all the time in the background there was the sweet
Daime singing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then at a perfect
moment in time,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anna stood in front of
me, raised her arms and just called me back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This tiny woman turned on such a field of light energy that I found
myself breathing and able to move again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Slowly the animating force was resting, out of a fierce battle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that moment my ancestors spoke and
congratulated me on being a grand mother.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif";">I had become a grand
mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before I was just a granny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such an honour and priveledge to be an elder
at a youngish age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most grateful for the
initiation and for that which sustained me through it to be free of fear and be
open and receptive to the inflow of energy.</span></div>

depths and heights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In all her sacred
times, the washing of the dishes, the insights, the reading of the news, the
talking to friends, the gazing at the sun, the feeding of the family, the
growing of the business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please have a
look and give me some feedback on the project that has taken years to put
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well the product has been
there but not this medium.</span></div>

<br />
Stepping into eternity<br />
I reach the inner temple<br />
No-thing exists here<br />
yet everything is present.<br />
In the deepest stillness<br />
I imbibe the silence.<br />
<br />
One day I will return<br />
until then.........<br />
