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.

who looks inside, awakes.

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

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

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!

where matter is.
where is matter?
let me think ... รต_~ where space is? ^o^
Yeah... but I guess I mean... sometimes I look at this space and matter and can't place it. Where is it?! I don't know man, maybe I'm not making sense. Maybe that's good.
I know what you mean, i was just pulling your leg! :)
Physics show that time-matter-space are one, so if you consider the bigbang (accepting for a minute there is such a thing as a "real" world out there that exists beyond consciousness), space was and is just as vast as where the big-bang is. There is no "beyond" the universe, where there is no thing, there is no space and vice-versa. In fact, it kind of makes space "a thing". Properties and things are not very different in the end.
But of course all this requires a knowledge of physics, it's not really relevant, it's just another bunch of thought. Seeing this with mere senses though is something else.
Somebody once said:
"From the beginning not a thing is".
Once that is seen we can relax and enjoy the party. And *what* a party!
:-)
True, Mike... very true.
So why at times can I not relax and enjoy the party? Why can't I/won't I let myself sing this truth from the rooftops with wild abandon? Why do I still box myself up in the day-to-day world like everyone else seems to do?
I feel like I know these things... these things you, Benjamin and I enjoy sharing, expressing in words... but if I can't let go and celebrate it through consistent lived experience, putting it into action out there in the world, then maybe on some deeper level I don't know these truths at all. Understand what I mean?
Perhaps you should question this assumption. Perhaps it has nothing to do with what you see the body doing and nothing to do with what the mind thinks. The mind merely reflects what you know through Knowing, the reflection of the moon on water is not the moon.
But would you find the moon, that too would not be what you are.
If you see Nathan walking around, doing things of the worldly, thinking "i am boxing myself up like everybody else", then say hello to him and let him do what he has to do. If you take yourself to be Nathan, how will he listen to you? :)
You've enjoyed the party so far, a party where Nathan was invited (even though anxious for a moment).
I really feel where you're coming from Nathan.
There is also this apparent 'contradiction' in me too. I want to scream this from the rooftops but I don't. What do I do? Well, so far, I just get on with 'my life'. Things happen, plans are made or changed. I have recently been working as a temp in a 9-5 office job for the civil service surrounded by people who are not at all interested in THIS. Why should they be? Most people I know aren't.
So I hide my interests for them. I hide it all, keep it all to myself unless i'm asked a direct question about it, which is very rare!
So there's a feeling that I really want to express this, thru talking and writing (i'm currently trying to write a book - although this is just another project for the mind)but there's also the quiet seeing that THIS does not need to be spoken about. It Speaks for itself. Its happening NOW. it is NOW.
IT IS ALL THAT IS.
So why raise my voice?
Well, why not? I guess.
With my 9-5 job and the new relationship and circumstances I find myself in have thrown up a lot of stuff that has been...interesting.
Frustration and embarrassment, insecurity, doubt and past stories. The mind has been reacting to all of these circumstances because it thinks it's ENLIGHTENED or something...
If i'm Enlightened then why is there reaction? Why does this FEEL so gritty again?
But to really react against these feelings is to make a new division even tho we have seen the divisions do not exist.
Yet the MIND IS DIVISION.
But it's just not REAL.
Any label placed on experience divides it.
Since seeing this I have had daily opportunities to see how my mind/emotions work. They catch me, yet they are empty. They seem to divide, yet there is only Oneness.
All of this earthiness is pure light. Relaxing into it, no matter what arises is Oneness.
It can appear that there are divisions between THIS and the mundane world. But this is just another trick. There is no division.
There is no box and no-one to box up. There is only what's happening.
To surrender into the happening is freedom, unknowing and intimacy.
Now, i'm just trusting what happens as it happens. No pressure, just a certain lightness, whether I keep quite, scream underneath bridges or just stick with the 9-5 2.4 Kids is not my job to create or avoid.
