(10:55 PM) Thusness: when someone surrender...2007:<br /><br />(10:55 PM) Thusness: when someone surrender and accept, what are they accepting and surrendering?<br />(10:56 PM) AEN: everything arising moment to moment<br />(10:56 PM) Thusness: yes<br />(10:56 PM) Thusness: the moment to moment of manifestation.<br />(10:56 PM) AEN: icic<br />(10:56 PM) Thusness: that spontaneously arises and ceases<br />(10:57 PM) Thusness: now is there true acceptance and surrendering?<br />(10:57 PM) AEN: yes<br />(10:57 PM) Thusness: there isn't.<br />(10:57 PM) AEN: how come<br />(10:57 PM) Thusness: this is because consciousness works through insight.<br />(10:58 PM) Thusness: as long as it cannot 'see', it is still bonded.<br />(10:58 PM) AEN: orh icic yea so after non dual insight than can accept isnt it.. cos one no longer sees dualistically<br />(10:58 PM) Thusness: so deep most in consciousness, it cannot accept with totality.<br />(10:58 PM) Thusness: so what is true is insight and realisation.<br />(10:59 PM) Thusness: only when there is true insight, there is spontaneity and liberation.<br />(10:59 PM) Thusness: what is manifestation?<br />(10:59 PM) Thusness: it is the source.<br />(10:59 PM) Thusness: what is appearance?<br />(10:59 PM) Thusness: it is our buddha nature.<br />(11:01 PM) Thusness: Total acceptance is an illusion in the deep most sense. When there is the realisation that manifestation is already the source, there is no surrendering nor acceptance.<br />(11:01 PM) Thusness: there is just one whole happening.<br />(11:01 PM) Thusness: any thing extra is doing and propensities.Sohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416159880942160813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225985453951330898.post-79484339401664875952018-09-16T21:54:22.281+08:002018-09-16T21:54:22.281+08:00The Wanderer
I have traveled so far
And for so lo...The Wanderer<br /><br />I have traveled so far<br />And for so long<br />That none could conceive it possible.<br /><br />My Journey of aeons and lifetimes<br />Has taken me through<br />Crystal palaces of exquisite splendor<br />Where I played with courtesans<br />The likes of which this world<br />Has never seen.<br /><br />I have led armies into battle<br />Been slain and conquered a million times. <br /><br />I have ridden bareback on mythical beasts<br />Exploring worlds of unimaginable beauty.<br />I've bathed in enchanted pools under cooling moonlight<br />And lived with the nymphs who dwell in those places. <br /><br />I have dived to the depths of oceans<br />And fought with the mighty beasts<br />Who dwell in the deep.<br /><br />I have explored the four corners of space,<br />Spent lifetimes in silent ecstasy<br />Breathing in and out with the stars.<br /><br />I have fallen through the earth<br />And been held captive in the most cruel of places.<br />I have been cut and tormented,<br />Had my life ripped away<br />And been revived in places of daggers and pain.<br /><br />I have been swept along in rivers of molten flame,<br />Burned until I could no longer recognize <br />Even my own body. <br />Fought, fought and fought,<br />Killed and been killed<br />Spending aeons in fear, rage and fury.<br /><br />I have taken animal form,<br />Run with the wolves<br />And howled at the moon in the depths of night.<br /><br />I have been killed a million, million times,<br />Loved and lost through bitter heart ache<br />As my love left me for another life<br />More times than I care to recall.<br /><br />I have had Sons, Daughters,<br />Wives, Husbands, Harems.<br /><br />I have lived through the greed of owning one million palaces<br />The hatred of murdering one million men<br />The love of devoting myself entirely to a precious few.<br /><br />The self obsession of the inglorious "I".<br /><br />Misery, torment, abandonment,<br />Fear, loneliness, isolation, grief... joy.<br />I have lived through them all<br />I have lived in them all!<br /><br />There is not one place in this entire universe I have not visited,<br />Or one thing I have not owned...<br />And yet, <br />I stand here before you<br />Empty handed and alone.<br />An old man at the end of his travels,<br />Weary of adventure<br />And seeking peace...<br /><br />A place to call home.<br /><br />The road is not less traveled!<br />We play this mighty game of life and death<br />Never stopping to question<br />Or pause to think...<br /><br />The question is not "When will it stop?".<br />The question is "When will we stop?".<br />When will we search for home?<br />Listen to that quiet, quiet voice<br />Which tells us to be still.<br />To awaken.<br />To see that,<br />From the highest palace,<br />To the deepest hell.<br />It has all been - but a dream<br /><br />We have been dreaming.<br /><br />*Wake up my friends<br />and find peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225985453951330898.post-79701835621987568452018-09-16T16:32:52.967+08:002018-09-16T16:32:52.967+08:00This is the same as surrender,surrender to what is...This is the same as surrender,surrender to what is ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
