am waiting for Buddhists...enlightenment ain't hard it just takes
lifetimes

Hi Gene,

Further to what you write about movement/unrest;
When a position is taken relative to the
flow, movement forms into pattern, design. I can only
act according to this pattern.
Otherwise I am blindly thrashing around.

love,
andrew




Hi Gene/Andrew,

Interesting message Gene.

Do we need space to be 'other than' whole, space to become and move into?
Which is to equate space with time.

It could be said that 'Iam unrest', by that I mean that there is no unrest
separate from myself. Realising that I rest!

We want pattern, order and design very much in our lives I feel, so much so
we try and control ourselves. But can there be a pattern without control,
without me. This would be a pattern without a patterner. Oneness with
design.

Is chaos trying to make design my own?
Is order, surender to divine design.

On this I ponder this evening,
Gary






I only observe that if attention remains on the background radiation of unrest;
if
there is observation of movement from the pointless still point, an elaborate
pattern
or design is seen to blossom. As this pattern is seen, it becomes possible to
move
into it as along the lines of a labyrinth or a mandala, which is movement of a
different order than the brownian-motion-like buffeting of blind unrest. It's
coherent.

hi nondual cats!
is it time for holiday?
when so, pack and go!

party for felines!
feasts at night rest in the sun
always in for fun!

when it's hot, the beach...
look - the ocean is a drop
one that's within reach!

When someone calls you
stupid and foolish
you mind it.
Knowing this,
the Sages use the word
Ignorance.¹

Ignorance is something
you don¹t know
and when you are thinking
about what you don¹t know,
what are you going
to get from it?

OOh, I¹m thinking
in order to know it,¹
but the whole fallacy is
because you¹re thinking
you¹re not knowing it;
you¹re blocking it.

Stop thinking
and start seeing;
then you¹ll know it.
