I am focusing my attention on the realization of my true nature. In my view this realization is not a one-time flash of perception but rather it is in the word itself: “real-ize” which is to “make real”. I use the term “real” here to mean all that I perceive in any way in my direct energy field – so visions, imaginations, thoughts and all phenomena are included in this term.

In this sense I “real-ize” my true nature when my inner knowing of the fact that we are one timeless, spaceless being, and that we encompass all of existence in this being-ness, is reflected in my daily behavior and my relationships.

I am here in support of the long-prophesied Shift of the Ages, Shift of Consciousness, Human Evolution and sometimes spoken of as “The Event.” Continue reading

just glass ~ Zen

 

[photo of Thomas Merton]::

“Zen is consciousness unstructured by particular form or particular system, a trans-cultural, trans-religious, trans-formed consciousness.

It is therefore in a sense ‘void’.

But it can shine through this or that system,  religious or irreligious,  just as light can shine through glass that is blue, or green, or red, or yellow.

If  Zen has any preference it is for glass that is plain, has no color, and is ‘just glass.’ “

Thomas Merton (1915 – 1968)
