In the silent space of the heart, all is given, all is seen, all is One, appearing as me.

In the silent space of the heart, I is unknown, quiet, not two.

The firelight reflects contentment, serenity, peace with all that Is.

This I AM.

With no place to go or anything to do or gain, neither satisfaction nor attainment have any meaning.

What else is there to know except This?

LOVE

Truth of Love

Seeing, hearing, touching – all my senses have melted into my Heart, and now complete seeing is being known, not by vision, but by Love alone.  

My senses have become devotees of my Self!

In this Love there exists only This. 

And your face comes from This.

And, my face comes from This. 

And I find myself looking into your eyes to see the Truth of Love. 

Inside this Heart, form and formless in eternal embrace, without beginning or end. 

My Heart is bursting with This Love.

Mind-Bypass

In proportion to your fascination with thought you will  leave the contentment of the Heart for the imagination of the Mind.  In proportion to your fascination with Beingness you will rest in the Heart and ignore the seduction of thought streams which take you always away from Being into metaphors conceptualized by Mind.

Being is always implicated with thinking, with concepts - implicated because it is the very source of concepts, the very source of conception for all appearance that comes into existence as Consciousness Itself.  Being is the very source of one’s sense of self, one’s sense of being alive, of existing; and furthermore, Being is that alone through which existence is known by a thinker.  

This  stops  a cycle we call time.  This means that instead of living in time - in our thoughts -  we are living NOW, spontaneously.

An  individual,  the  ego, arises in each moment we forget to be in Love, our true nature.  When a cord is struck within, and this fills us with inner joy, this is out of time, out of ego, out of thought.   We do not need thought to interpret joy - it just is.  Love just is.  We don’t have to run it by our mind to know when Love is present.  It's a mind-bypass.  Most people are conducting a Heart-bypass, relying on their minds to figure It out.
