let the words fall away
It is not the world that needs peace; it is people. When people in the world are at peace within, the world will be at peace.
Words of Peace Global
We are here to bring spirit into matter and matter to spirit.
Shamanism.co.uk
Those who
conquer their mind
conquer the world.
Brahma Kumaris
The universe is a huge reflection of yourself in your own consciousness.
Yoga Vasistha
We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace within ourselves.
The Dalai Lama
Who looks outside, dreams;
who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung
break all the glasses and fall toward the glassblower.
Rumi
The quieter
you become
the more
you can hear.
Ram Dass
All things conditioned are unstable, impermanent, fragile in essence...
The human mind has absolute freedom within its true nature...
Do not work for freedom, rather allow the practice itself to be liberation...
If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?
Teachings of the Buddha
How can you know the
meaning of your life unless
you're connected to
the power that
created you?
Sahaja Yoga Meditation flyer
Insert any number of amazing Osho quotes
Here
Is freedom possible within a confined space?
Unknown
Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Rumi
You want to be on both sides of the wall at the same time. You can, but you must remove the wall. Or realise that the wall and both sides of it are one single space, to which no idea like 'here' or 'there' applies.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
...one cannot understand the timeless with a mind that is the outcome of time.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simpy wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Franz Kafka
...only in the dreamtime of primal peoples and poets and dreamers can we fully grasp the ineffable that lingers just beyond the reach of intelligence.
Jamake Highwater
We don't exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch with that which can be touched but not known.
Non-Existence, D.H. Lawrence
Ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.
John viii. 32
The kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17:21
personal spiritual poetry
Embrace the Mystery
let the words fall away
with their sound
It is not the world that needs peace; it is people. When people in the world are at peace within, the world will be at peace.

break all the glasses and fall toward the glassblower.
Rumi
The world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not exist.
...inducing the mind to give up its miscreations is the only application of creative ability that is truly meaningful.
Only your misperceptions stand in your way.
...truth can break through the barriers the ego has set up and can shine into your mind.
ACIMThe quieter
you become
the more

Do not work for freedom, rather allow the practice itself to be liberation...
If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?
Teachings of the Buddha
In the poetic world the word paints us the internal vision of the seer and by this means gives us a gateway with which to enter the ancestral memory where we find a timeless world of magic.

About Me
- Nathan
- The blog: It is what it is. I hope to bring people back to themselves- to who they really are. But only they can know that. This is a movement away from thought, to feeling. It is a move away from structures in which distractions are embedded. Both in writing and reading, we are peeling away at what we are not. What's underneath? What's underneath? We need a willingness to see things directly, for what they are. Through the words, I hope to signpost to a feeling beyond the words that each of us can come to know through direct experience. I hope you like it, but perhaps that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you 'understand it' or not. It's more about what you feel. Comments welcome!

A chirp, a twitter
makes me turn and look
but she is hidden.
Namaste, thank you for this great photo....
What inspires your words for this piece?
beautiful spot. thank you.
Thank you to everyone for your comments...
Anonymous, I could answer that question at length but will try to keep it short! I write as a means to an understanding, trying to get closer to essence. By that I mean going deeply, trying to do away with the conventions that block the ultimates. If people on a similar path identify with my words, I take that as a good sign- perhaps the ultimates are coming through and I am getting at the broader unity of our experience, rather than the separation. If I'm lucky, the words pop into my head as signposts to the ultimates- to the feelings that we all must feel for ourselves.
Nathan, Thank you for sharing.
