begum Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Darkness under the candle Horse now without a saddle The search for meaning from a spiritual reading confines of religious organization blogging "Controversies" section for open minded spiritual discussion what is real and what is an illusion You become that what you seek not religious side that Mystics seek Breaking out of habitual ways of observing perceiving, thinking, believing and acting finding the gate that lead to region of the nameless in endless open spaces, horizons that are boundless ''Everything you have seen here is tricks,'' says the magician who wanted to know the spiritual rationale for a vegetarian My basic nature is to be passionate and committed a day came and with utmost reverence I submitted plain truth isn’t spoken because it would threaten tradition ignored the fluff and instead just concentrating on meditation I thought you had a "hurt child" in your writing I should lessen my ego and be more trusting It is easy then to project this sort of love onto the One Perhaps it is possible for my relationship with the One 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

begum Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks for the correction, dear old friend, Shaheediyan I was idealistic, curious about a guru in the Himalayan I'm now looking for a Bigger Picture fixed by an immutable law of nature irrefutable observations of spirituality, religion, and philosophical thought willing to put aside everything that you and I have here-to-fore bought I can only tell you from my own direct experience that this is not so sooner you will truly wake up and come to your senses so presence of an enlightened being is to shock people out of fixed ways a zen master is asked about truth, "so please be brief", in reply he says Truth is not in words. You ARE the truth who knows maybe he's telling us the truth Beware of anyone setting themselves up as a master it's publicity and you wallet that he might be after "Have not our lives been enhanced by our seeking?" in a paradoxical way; but seeking is an endless thing As long as you keep hoping and trying to rely on some outside agent You, Consciousness, appear in Your play acting the role of a student Fine. This all just part of the play of consciousness there is only now, appears as a play in awareness apparently an individual may embark upon a spiritual path falsely led to believe that purity lies in a holy river bath consciousness, already being consciousness in whatever form it appears finds the Source on its own; the Celestial Music that one eventually hears 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begum Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I've got no problem with religious mythology humans are observers in the grand cosmology adults here in the Pacific Northwest believe in Bigfoot Christian mysticism recognizes whatever comprises the root I pretty much believed my guru might be able to manipulate karma to affect the afterlife of a deceased relative by bestowing good karma We're Yes seeking creatures who long for acceptance saying no-no-no's to that which divides life, for instance living in this world of duality is what we strongly believe enlightenment, redemption, forgiveness – "you've got to believe" What more could we want if we have Yes? it's the disenchanting "no" that nobody likes you've got to believe that they're really coming Just have faith, obey the dictates, a sheep following Don't turn to the right or left. Keep to the straight and narrow I don't like surrender under those terms; an idea I got to throw Throwing myself at the mercy of an imaginary being called "God" makes as much sense as Easter Bunny or Santa Claus seem odd surrendering to another human being – a master/slave thing going on wouldn't it be better to get all the spiritual advice from a book at Amazon? Religions seek a transcendent ideal that always seems to be just around the corner dangling the carrot not close enough, soon this donkey is going to be a gonner From your perspective as just one spoke on the wheel of life long forgotten will be a listed name, appearing in the archive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Your style is very interesting. It's good to share/release ones thoughts through poetry, it increases ones artistic character and forces on to think about their nature and understanding of life. It all takes courage for one to share their poetry with the public. "surrendering to another human being – a master/slave thing going on wouldn't it be better to get all the spiritual advice from a book at Amazon?" LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
