Always the same
You know,
the day will come and
you will go,
you know,
I have fed up with all that there
comes from nothing,
even taste it hasn't
Whirlpools at the abyss
Smashes all form,
Dissolves and makes loathsome,
The day that's been,
And you go,
And you know,
That tomorrow also,
Is goanna be the same

Cells of blood
The blood rages through the body,
And Compresses in its flow,
Ascending,
In accelerated circularity
and intense respiration,
Faintly beating
At the crawling edge,
Gathers in my head
And bursting in silence,
Out from his cells the blood
Runs free.
~ ~ ~
Dimensions
I step and watch
as the ground under my feet
turns
into a tapestry of living colors.
My eyes roll over, inverting
inwards swallowed,
like a hammer smiting and carving
that great bubble.
With sparks I foresee,
and the distance is long
inwards,
too inwards,
surrounded by warm fluid,
encircled by thick, firm crust
that floats on it's smoldering core
Golden flakes
decorate its borders,
I can stand it no longer,
the choking grips,
the pushing shoves,
out, out!
Repetitive circles,
without a pause,
and swallowed and strangled again and again,
Holding the hammer
and chiseling with strength,
each blow hurts me more and more,
But I must
Be opened wide,
Be discharged,
Be born.
"Embodied
Awakening"
Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy
Conference 2007
October 25-28, 2007
California Institute of Integral Studies
1453 Mission Street, San Francisco
Presented by CIIS's Integral Counseling Psychology Program and
the Center for Timeless Wisdom
Co-Sponsored by JFK, ITP, and ATP
This annual cutting-edge conference hosts leading therapists and
teachers who are exploring the confluence of nondual wisdom and
psychotherapy. How does psychotherapy change when therapists and
clients begin to awaken to and embody their true nature as open,
lucid Awareness-and discover this Awareness to be inseparable
from the whole of life?

Namaste!
This is to inform to all seekers in the path of Self-Realization, that we just launched a comprehensive portal to dessiminate the message of sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Please visit http://www.maharajnisargadatta.com/
The site is mainly focussed on the teachings, talks, quotes and reminiscences of Nisargadatta Maharaj and other notable saintly masters such as Ramana Maharshi, Ramesh Balsekar, Papaji and others. It is our aim to bring a clean, well designed and informative resource for all advatin seekers mainly in the path of direct self-enquiry.
This site currently includes, in addition to others, a spiritual library containing nearly 90 online texts (mostly downloadable) about the teachings of revered advaita masters such as maharaj, ramana maharshi, swami sivananda etc. And Upanishads and Gita are also included.
Please visit http://www.maharajnisargadatta.com/
In the very near future, we are willing to bring a series of
articles related to the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ramana
Maharshi, Advaita Vedanta and our ancient wisdom of Upanishads.
We seek your support, suggestions and encouragment to serve the community of advaita seekers with this small website.
Thank you for your support.
