Enlightenment and the void

Posted on May 20th, 2009 by Alan :  Life to life. Alan

What if enlightenment exists not in form, but formless?  Not in stuff, but void?

If so... well, lets jus assume so for a second.  If so, you couldn't ever get to enlightenment by thinking alot about it, or reading books... you couldn't even get to it by looking.  Trying to find enlightenment would be like trying to catch smoke...

What if enlightenment was the recognition of the dance of form and formlessness, stuff and void?  If you never learned to stop thinking and sit in formlessness, well...

The Road

Posted on May 11th, 2009 by Alan :  Life to life. Alan
There is a path through the woods. 

A person walking the path will walk for a short time only before reaching the first fork.  One path becoming, in this case, two.  To continue, the person must choose a direction.  Right, or left?

After the person chooses a direction, they will go only a short time before reaching another fork.  On the left path, there are, again, two roads leading from the fork, and on the right path, there are three paths leading from the second fork.

A person will choose, and go only a short time before reaching another fork... another decision.  The person could be looking, again, at a spit with 2 paths leading away from the fork.  But, depending on their prior choices, they could also be looking at 3 new paths leading from this last fork, or even 4...

As the person continues the only given on this path is that they will reach another fork before too long.  The ammount of paths leading away from the fork, however, could be any number at all.

And so this path goes, onward to infinity, self-dividing.

---

If seventeen people take this path through the woods, all at the same time, but uninfluenced by eachother, in five hours, they'd all likely be on their own way before too long at all...

---

Life: we choose, and our  choices define everything in our life that comes after them... and not just the big choices!  If we make one big choice every four years, and fifty thousand little choices in the same four years... we'd do well to consider the impact of the little decisions we make when we think it doesn't really matter. 

2009: so many times, we find it very easy to focus on the stimulus in front of us, and not the choices we make.  The path winding through the road already exists: we do not create reality as much as we co-create OUR reality, by our constant definition and re-definition of what direction it is that we choose to go.

The song of storms

Because, like it or not, he IS coming.

Because I can't convince anyone to give it away before it's taken. 

I love you...

It's a bad idea to try and be high res, here's why!

Posted on May 3rd, 2009 by Alan :  Life to life. Alan
Paraphrasing a beautiful text:

"You are entitled to work, but you are no entitled to the fruits of your labor.  Labor done to attain its fruit is suspect."

To switch it up:

"You are entitled to have the ability for high resonance actions: but you are not entitled to the resonance.  Actions done in order to attain a high resonance is suspect."

In other words... if you're doing something in order to be "high resonance--"  singing a song, being nice to someone, whatever-- are you doing it with your heart, or is your heart set on attainment? 

The action suffers...

And as a result, the resonance expected is not the resonance the action has, or brings. 

As a result, an imbalance occurs... between the resonance dreamed of in the mind, and the resonance existing in the light comprising one's matter, mind, and energy. 

Imbalance is not high resonance. 

If you wanna be high res, you're so better off learning to smile, and love, than trying to seek it...

Seek love, and you shall find all.

On action, non-action

Posted on May 2nd, 2009 by Alan :  Life to life. Alan

People make actions.  Sometimes people say: hmmm, maybe I shouldn't act so much. 

People embrace non-action.  People strive for non-action...

Sometimes, the people striving for non-action say: hey, wait a minute, no matter how hard I try, I stll breathe, and eat, and pee, and crap.  I still laugh, and cry, and feel. 

People wonder how non-action is possible....

Sometimes, people continue seeking non-action, and master it so well that, durring meditation, why, they simply stop breathing.  They become pure white... bodyless.  Their bodies simply stop....

But sometimes, people embrace non-action and find that actions continue WITHOUT THEM TRYING TO ACT.  Sometimes people find they can become vehicles. 

People strive to be vehicles...

Sometimes, vehicles call themselves willing pawns.  Sometimes, vehicles call themsevles sanandas.  Sometimes, vehicles call themsevles bodhissatvas, or christ-consciousnesses...

And live in the eye of god...
