Something Is

Be it a persona, let it be.

It is but an empty shell that carries

A Mission. Let it Be.

It will need to move about, it does.

But within there is something resembling

A Stillness

Falling to grace

A feeling of shrinking

Into a smaller core

Letting go of passions

Becoming one with it all

Who carse?

Reading a most radical book, Perfect Brilliant Stillness by david carse. On the Understanding that “we” are all dream characters, that all there is is Consciousness operating through “mind/body things”. Of course “I” have heard it all before, but here it is ver succinctly put and really resonating with, well, something in “me”. And “he” takes the piss out of the whole spiritual “search”;-)

How could I?

I hail the spontaneous
as opposed to the perfected.
And art as not separated
from life – how could I
chase to describe being in
an abstract or impersonal way?

Breadth of Delight (OR: breath of God’s delight, or…)

“The side of thought is not enough; the side of delight too must be entirely grasped: Ideas, Forces, Existences, Principles are hollow moulds unless they are filled with the breath of God’s delight.”

From brokeness to community

“”I cannot think of taking the speck of dust out of my neighbour’s eye unless I’m working on the log in my own. Evil is here in me. Warfare is inside my own community, and I am called to be an agent of peace there. But warfare is also in me and I am called to seek wholeness inside of myself. Healing begins here, in me. Wholeness and unity begin inside of me. If I am growing toward wholeness, then I’ll be an agent of wholeness. If our community is an agent of wholeness, then it will be a source of life for the world around it.”

~ Jean Vanier, From Brokenness to Community

What is the source of all this trouble?

“What is the source of all this trouble? I’m saying that the source is basically in thought. Many people would think that such a statement is crazy, because thought is the one thing we have with which to solve our problems. That’s part of our tradition. Yet it looks as if it is the thing we use to solve our problems with which is the source of our problems.“

~ David Bohm (Quantum Physicist)
