CONTEMPLATION

There is a wise old man who never spoke, not because he couldn’t, that he had nothing to say. It was because he believed that language deceived, that by its very nature it clouded the truth, it made the world harder to know. He believed that the truth, the truth lived only in silence….where all love is found.He communicated in other ways, mainly through the food he prepared from his garden. It conveyed his affections, gratitude and sometimes his indifference, far better than any words could convey. It was said that he could change minds in that way by softening the hardest of hearts….. all the while never having to say a word.

CONTEMPLATION

There is nothing you do not know. You are not aware of it all in every moment and thats the process of creation over millenniums. But you know it all, its all there waiting for the alarm bell to go of that you might become aware of your own magnificence, your true nature.For example, at times I might have an urge to learn something and I go find a teacher to teach me what I am wanting to learn. However thats not whats happening, the teacher isn’t teaching me anything I didn’t know already, they are helping me wake up to the truth within, that has always been there. Helping to manifest the eternal knowledge within that it might become wisdom. Learning is a remembering, an awakening.So when you get an ah ha moment, when the light comes on in your head and heart, thats you waking up to what is already there within you that out of your separateness, however…… you had forgotten.Its like when you fall in love with another, in that moment all truth is revealed, we are not aware however, that love is coming from within us, held within the light, the reflection of anothers presence. There isn't anything any of us teach each other, offer each other that we do not already know, deep within our own being. Our work with each other is to assist in uncovering that which is already there within all of us, we are constantly reminding each other of the truth and perhaps sadly of illusion. Anything other than love is only appearing real in any given moment if you accept that love is, ultimately the only truth.We offer a sublime movement toward truth, for the benefit of all sentient beings with our presence in any given life, that we all might awaken to our own sense of equanimity born out of our hearts longing for truth, love and peace……discovering step by step the one true nature that is in us all, and has been all along.
