Holy?

Holy?

If life is holy
And death is helly
How would it be for us
When nothing ever dies?

How would it be for us
If death is holy too
How would that be for you?

Would death be there in joy
Like life is there in joy
Would you be free of fear
That death you sometimes brings?

Could death be life as well
And birth also be dying
And you for ever being
From which all’s ever born …

Different?

Different?

Everything brought you here
reading this
sitting in this chair
with these feet on the ground
living on this planet
hearing the rain
feeling the wind
seeing the stars
having this body

You can’t be different
than you are right now

You can’t be anywhere else
than here in this place

You can’t have different worries
than you have right now

You can’t have different joy
than you have right now

You did everything right
You never made a mistake

If God is everything
and God makes no mistakes
then you are Good
then you are God …

Spirituality?

Spirituality?Spirituality?

What is the opposite of spirituality?
What is spirituality?

What is the opposite of spiritual?
What is spiritual?

Is spiritual better than non-spiritual?
Is non-spiritual better than spiritual?

Every word we use is a concept.

Lost in words and concepts
I make my own world
untill I open my eyes,
see the sun, blink,
and am amazed by all the outside colours
that I see inside

Without words and concepts
I am the world.
And with my eyes closed
I see the beauty
of emptiness …

Guilt and shame

Guilt and shame 
My dear child, 
There never was a "me" to suffer the pain of life 
and all there has ever been is "I", the Source 
from which the manifestation has emerged, 
and it is "I" alone who has been functioning 
through the billions of human beings. 
Ramesh Balsekar in Confusion no more.

Shame and guilt originate from the same belief: I did something wrong. Or, to rephrase it: I shouldn’t have done that.

Ask yourself: “With the knowledge I had at that time, with the state of consciousness I had at that time, with my past, with my pain, did I do the best I could at that time?”

And when you walk with this question
And meet the forest and the trees
Stand still and look
Let the answer surface
And let the trees tell you
What you knew already
And then you wonder
About your own wisdom
Infinite
Wise
Pure
Whole …

Now

Now

I searched for you in the past
and couldn’t find you
Not with the dead, in history,
Not in the old stories

I searched for you in the future
and couldn’t find you
Not with the living, in plans,
Not in new dreams

I searched for you in the now
and couldn’t find you

Realizing that
the now does not exist
That I always was
That I never was

I found me
Just like that
Suddenly …

Everything you read
Everything you hear
will lead you to you

Everyone you meet
Everyone you avoid
will lead you to you

Every sage
Every fool
will lead you to you

The experience is in you
The meeting is in you
The sage is in you

The sage in you,
who you essentially are,
will lead you
to You …

Thoughts

Thoughts

Without time, no thoughts
Without thoughts, no time
Without time, no thoughts
Without thoughts, no personality
Without thoughts: freedom
what a gift
To You …

This morning, when the cat crawled at my feet, something came to me, gently. The cat purred, stroke me, saw a fly and miaowed. The thought came: a cat doesn’t know time. And an insight unfolded in me from my head to my toes: time is thought and thought is time.

Without time, no thoughts. Without thoughts, no time.

The past is a bunch of memories, stored in the brain. The future is a bunch of thoughts originated from the past. Even NOW is always a story of the past.

Without time, no thoughts. Without thoughts, no personality.

To realize that deeply for yourself is freedom.

That doesn’t mean that you stop thinking. It means that you can see the thoughts for what they are: ripples at the surface of the depth that you are. Then you know you beyond all thoughts about you.

What a gift
To You …
