The Way….
A journey in the exploration of self….
All journeys invoke a sense of exploration and discovery. The opportunity to uncover new thoughts, ideas, but where does any journey take us? Is the destination the point of departure, or should a Journey every end if the journey is about eternal life.
Complex Ambiguity
The Way….
She became increasingly aware that for some time, now, she was on a path that had no beginning and would have no end. Mesmerized by what surrounded her and dazzled by its beauty, She paused to appreciate the uncommon, primordial energies swirling about her, energies bursting with vitality and consciousness, constantly changing form, a mythical reflection of infinite possibilities. She gazed with wonderment and rapture at a panoply of Complex Ambiguity that danced in front of her, a riotous assembly of bombastic shapes and colours demanding attention in the midst of their exuberance.
She mused, we arrive here from the unknown, where Everything is mysteriously the same, and yet it is an every changing mystery. Lost in the Midst of the Unfathomable, where Eternity laughs at the production of time, we aimlessly Wandering in Search of Why. Yet, how incredibly simple, she thought things should be. Vitality, the root essence of life, offered an Unadulterated Sensation; a space where even in the Last corner of the Universe, where Nothing Is Born and Nothing Dies, Serenity of Spirit prevails. It is a primal virtue, a spiritual discernment that provides a partial understanding of the utopia of prefect serenity.
She continued along The Way….
Embracing virtue, they are warm and harmonious
Drifting on The Current of Delight, unseen, unnoticed, unobserved, flowing with The richness of subliminal virtue, she reflected on how vital it is to Listen to the Whispers because Embracing virtue, they are warm and harmonious. And, a wealth of virtue seems inadequate, as its nature is kindness. She thought it was almost like being in the middle of a dream. Dreams provide an inner vision into the soul., and she understood that by looking within, When you are one with virtue, the virtue is always there. And because Virtue will Be Your Beauty, The Blind Cannot Appreciate Beautiful Patterns.
She was struck by a profound truth: While vitality is the root essence of life, harmony is the root of existence. Knowing Harmony Is Constancy; Knowing Constancy Is Enlightenment. Listen to your intuition and be fortified by accumulated virtue.
The Center of the Quintessential
The Way had brought her to this place. And searching deep within, she discovered The mystery at the heart of all things, Where the virtue eternally abides. She had arrived at the Center of the Quintessential, where To Die But Not to Perish is to be eternally present. She was comforted by the knowledge that at the center of the quintessential is perfect serenity:
comforted in the spaciousness of it,
comforted to Find what is inexhaustible,
comforted that in it are essences, subtle but real.
She intuitively understood that When you know what eternally is so, To Return to the center is an act of infinite kindness. When things seem to be in discord; return to the center and See Simplicity in The Complicated because There is a stillness in the center, Constantly and so forever. Nourish the inside, soften the outside, strengthen the center.
The sublime is found in plain knowledge …
Once the Whole Is Divided; The Parts Need Names
But, nothing ever stays the same in This world of perpetual transformation. Conflicts are the source of evolution: What it changes, is what changes, so Once the Whole Is Divided; The Parts Need Names. And yet, Their dividedness is their completeness because what is becomes what should be. She thought deeply about this, and accepted an Understanding that rests in what it does not understand. Looking For Impossible Answers was Beyond all resolution because Confusion Will Arise, However Clever One Is Therefore, Nothing exist – this is perfect understanding: A present believing a past; a past believing a present.
She continued The Way curious about what awaited her but placated by the notion that Spirit Moves where it wants….
Teetering on the brink of perfect balance
And now she found herself Teetering on the brink of perfect balance , at a point in the universe that contains all other points, past, present and future. She was embraced in the eternity of the present moment where Awareness is What Matters. She was neither coming or going, surrendering to the Glorious Harmony Of Motion. She intuitively understood that Yielding to force is strength and that it is Not This; Not That but to Accept Difficulty as an Opportunity. She was comforted — it was an Understanding That Rests in What It Does Not Understand. The less they knew, the more they understood. She looked around herself and thought How useful it is to be useless and thought even as I journey along the way, Let Your Footsteps Leave No Trace….
- The less they knew, the more they understood
- How useful it is to be useless
- Let your footsteps leave no trace
- If Too Much Energy Is Used, Exhaustion Follows
- Bound up in it’s own complications
What depths of Joy lie hidden within
In the pleasure of solitude, and the comfort of self, she was struck by the notion that Nothing is more manifest than the hidden; nothing is more obvious than the unseen. She thought it so important to Dwell on What is Real And Not What Is On The Surface because What Depths of Joy Lie Hidden Within. She smiled in recognition that within, within, is where the world’s treasures have always been. Indeed she thought it was the source of constant happiness since what you want is exactly what you have. Your joy, then must be uncountable because such Unearthly beauty – oh, hidden deep but ever present. Hold on to what is deep. The happiness of one becomes the joy of all.
- Untouched by sorrow or joy
- If we seek something, that same thing is seeking us
- All that remained was the joy of living expressed in silence and emotion
- The happiness of one becomes the joy of all
- Hold to what is deep
- Led by her inner truth
- In The Moment Before A Thought
- The Natural Is The Spontaneous
- Constant Happiness
- Such Unearthly Beauty
- Reward Bitterness With Care
When You understand perfection, you realise that there is nothing to seek
The separateness from the Center revealed to her a simple, but fundamental truth: all of life is a movement toward perfection. It does not require great deeds or arduous commitment, the imperfect gestures of ordinary life opens the possibility of total fulfillment. And When You understand perfection, you realise that there is nothing to seek.
She smiled at the realization that The satisfaction of contentment is a lasting satisfaction because it is The key that unlocks the door to happiness, Wisdom and Truth. To attain knowledge, add things every day; To attain wisdom, remove things every day. Profit Comes From What Is There; Usefulness Comes From What Is Not There.
She pondered on the unfolding of life and the possibilities that existed if one could unravel the urge to control, because surrender brings perfection and perfection is beyond comparison, beyond judgement. The virtue of not striving was an experience that can happen if you let go, and to let go is an act of compassion without which there is no wisdom.
Can you return to the beginning of time?
She had reached a point in her journey When the mind discovers what it is. She understood that she had to be guided by what you feel, not by what you see, as Uncertainty is the only certainty. And to think otherwise would be Looking for Impossible Answers. She was aware that You have to leave in order to return to the present because Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature Can you return to the beginning of time? She must. She knew she had to return to Where the End meets its beginning. It meant going To The Edge Of The Unknown, Past The Beginning And The End, Time before the beginning of time because it finally dawned on her that There is no beginning of time, only a beginning of thought.
Am I One with Them?
She pauses and examines her innermost self: Am I One With Them? She is the field of awareness the fulcrum of the possible. She is planted in her own integrity. She Speaks When She is Silent. She is the you, you always wanted to be.The lesson life teaches is that Things are what they are. What happens is what should have happened. How simple is life. It is more important to see the simplicity
One who knows others is intelligent
One who know herself is enlightened
One who conquers other is strong
One who conquers herself is all powerful
One who approaches life with force
Surely gets something
One who remains content where she is
Surely gets everything
One who gives herself to her position
Surely lives long
One who gives herself to the Way
Surely lives forever
If Heaven and Earth cannot make things Eternal, how is it possible for Man?
Only the inner light illuminates Eternity
Deeply at peace and contended, she continued along the Way….
Integrity is our true nature; arriving at integrity is the work of a lifetime
The vast mind empty of meaning
What is happening within our innermost self
When the mind is free of its thoughts, it becomes its own fulfillment
Nothing last longer than the untraceable instant
Nothing is something
The opposite of a profound truth is another profound truth
A tragedy is a comedy misunderstood
It’s better just le leave things alone
It knows nothing that is nothing
Let the confused stay confused
Those with a passion for the truth
Content with not knowing
Different from what is
Wants only what it is
The mind at peace with itself needs only what it has
It transcends all things
Radical ignorance is not a path to wisdom; it is wisdom itself
Before the after
The emptiness at the heart of things
The epitome of imperturbability
The answer searches for the answer
Reality is beyond words
What is most valuable can’t be taught, it can only be learned
Unattached to words or to silence
Reality is beyond conception
Confusion projects confusion
Flow like the Tao, unhindered, unnoticed, unnamed
Know that there is nothing to know
Clad in all earthly abundance
The crooked shall be made straight
Things flourish then each return to its root
Nameless simplicity
What gives birth to life is not itself born
The wise know their limitations; the foolish do not
Reality renegotiated
The primordial is Uncontrived
The world of reality; the world of natural law
Articulating futures and pasts,
Embodied but not achieved,
The bright path seems dim
Yielding to force is strength
Being great, it flows
The universe has a cosmic breath
If it were not different, it would have vanished long ago,
The highest notes are hard to hear
Great talent ripens late
The Soft and weak will overcome
Gentle and yielding the discipline of life…goes unmurmuringly
- As form yet unformed yet The greatest form has no shape
- Usefulness rises
Mystery of existence
True wisdom consists in respecting the simple things we do, for they can take us to where we need to go
The universe is only one thing, one soul
So it is, so it will be
What is and will be
In the light lies wisdom; in the heat lies compassion
I am who I was and who I will be
We are who we decide to be
Everyone act in a way in which he or she needs to act
We are all mirrors of our time
The energy becomes more fluid
Love is beyond time, Love is both time and space
Time neither moves nor is it stationary. Time changes
Constantly mutating time
Place beyond time and space
Forgiveness only works if you accept it
As the beginning and the end
Meditations on the present moment
In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike
Respect nature as the expression of the universe and contemplate the beauty that surrounds her
The way of long live and lasting insights
One who knows does not speak; one who speaks does not know
Contentment alone is enough
The most yielding thing in the world
Will overcome the most rigid
The most empty thing in the world
Will overcome the most full
From this comes a lesson—
Stillness benefits more than action
Silence benefits more than words
Placing one’s part in accordance with the universe is true humility
The truth that underlies all things
Every moment brings enlightenment
The Path of Illumination
The Essential mystery
It rests in its own nature
That which is beyond the beyond
The end of all endings
Though formless and intangible
It gives rise to form
Though vague and elusive
It gives rise to shapes
- Without form there is no desire; without desire there is tranquility
From whatever is not
Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity
Unfolding from emptiness
Unbroken dance of shadows
That which is beyond all beginnings
Know everything in this moment
Hold to what is deep
Led by her inner truth
Guides without force; serves without seeking
The innoncence of a beginner
Be selfless in your actions
Does not go against the way of things
Her true identity remains intact
So deep, so pure, so still
The path to all wonder
The truth beyond the truth
The hidden within the hidden
Small things reflect great things
Emptiness is vast and deep
This is a great mystery, yet it is considered natural
Delusions abound
Vision originates from within
If there were no chance, there would be nothing to risk
Patience is the virtue that unlocks heaven’s gate
There is no guide to emptiness
Without pride there is no envy
At the center of the quientessenal is perfect serenity.
The center remains still
It has no colour or sound
Yet the rest could not exist without it.
Appearing simple; remaining profound
Look silently within
Its wholeness is complete
Harmony is the root of existence
Exixtence and non esixtences are sperate and yet they are not separate
Grasp what cannot be seen
The mystery they contain
Hidden yet full of mystery
The separateness from the Whole revealed to her a simple, but fundamental truth: all of life is a movement toward perfection. It does not require great deeds or arduous commitment, the imperfect gestures of ordinary life opens the possibility of total fulfillment. And When You understand perfection, you realise that there is nothing to seek.
She smiled at the realization that The satisfaction of contentment is a lasting satisfaction because it is The key that unlocks the door to happiness, Wisdom and Truth.

The Way….
A journey in the exploration of self….
For a moment she was confused; it was like nothing she had ever experienced before, yet she was completely familiar with what confronted her:
She was suddenly aware that she was on a path that had no beginning and would have no end
Staring deep into the swirling abyss, she pondered what confronted her: a complex ambiguity of seeming madness and confusion; a riotous assembly of bombastic shapes and colours demanding attention in the midst of their chaos. She blinked, once, twice, trying to establish an order, a purpose.
