Of a Philosophical Nature

We would not be able to encounter the beauty of a sunset or the beauty and perfume emanated by nature on a spring day, if we did not already have this beauty within us. When the beauty within us is revealed, we will also be able to see beauty in a flower, a leaf of grass or a grain of sand, or even in a clod of mud.

Our encounter with the moment is also an encounter with Eternity.

True happiness ensues indirectly. It always appears in a state of non-search.

Life is perpetual freshness, in permanent movement,

As such, we need to be the same way;

A childlike innocence is requested by Existence,

Every time, in every circumstance – a priceless purity.

Happiness comes to us by Itself, and It envelops our whole being when the mind becomes humble and silent, as it has understood its inability to encounter the Unknown.

Truth is Awake and Active

Truth is eternally awake and in perpetual movement,

Active each moment, in constant renewal.

We have wrongly divided it, creating small or great truths,

Truth is revealed as unity, when we are “psychological emptiness”.

The conditioned mind cannot encounter It,

For it is always confined by its limited nature.

Truth is immense – boundless – Infinite Energy,

Two separate states, different in their essence.

In its powerlessness, the mind must become silent,

There is no other way to detach from the past.

When the limited is silent, the being is extended into Infinity,

In that moment, the Sacred Truth envelops us instantly.

Present in all and everything, it is within us as well as within everyone,

It is waiting, day and night, for us to discover it, through integration.

Do not waste any time! Give yourself to Truth!

Humbleness is the path! Otherwise, you keep deceiving yourselves.

Nothingness

Nothingness is the void, nonexistence, the nothing, the non-thing. Simultaneously, it is also the Infinite, the Existence which permeates All that exists in the Boundless Universe. It has no limits; therefore it is Boundlessness.

Each time we realize the State of Being, we also experience Boundless Thinking, which is, in fact, the same Immensity we can also call Nothingness.

This Nothingness holds all the planets, stars, galaxies, and universes in orbit, as well as all their content.

Therefore, in a simple state of No-mind we encounter the eternal State of Being, which is, in fact, the Infinite Energy or God. Practically, we are in a state of Boundless Thinking; in a split second we can place a Thought on the Moon, the Sun, or any galaxy.

When we truly encounter the State of Being through personal experience, we realize our Godliness, for in that sublime Moment we and God are in a perfect communion, manifested as eternal Love.

Understanding

According to depth, there are three layers of understanding:

Superficial understanding – at the level of words;

Mental understanding, an association of concepts;

And finally, total understanding – which is boundless.

Total understanding is – by itself and through itself – true understanding,

Its spontaneous perception breaks the sphere of the limited,

The chains of the mind are shattered, in a state of freedom,

All is enlightened in the sparkle of clarity.

Attention is the key, providing comprehension,

Through it, all is clear and we grasp the essence of things spontaneously,

Being and action – the beginning of transformation,

It dispels the darkness of the mind through full Enlightenment.

The Infinite

We cannot experience it through our limitedness!

How can you ensnare Eternal Boundlessness in the cage of the mind?

When the limited is silent, the Infinite envelops us,

Through it, our being expands into the Absolute.

Integrated into Infinity, we live true Love,

It disintegrates all conflictual states;

Eternal being – integrated into Infinity –

Reveals the beauty of life and its Sacred Reality

In the “Psychological Emptiness” We Encounter Reality

The “psychological void” is peace, perfect stillness,

The mind is humble, silent, free from guilt,

For it has understood its inability to know limitless Eternity.

“Emptiness” – a mere window opening towards Infinity;

The individual is absorbed into it,

He lives the Absolute Truth, spontaneously,

It cleanses and transforms all past knowledge.

Here we discover Reality – a Divine Realm –

Accessible to anyone, through a direct experience.

The whole purpose of our incarnation lies in this encounter,

In stillness, the individual becomes Love.

The Simplicity of the Encounter with “What Is”

Psychologically, we approach Life with all our feeling,

Although simple, this wondrous encounter is difficult;

Simplicity is not the problem, only the restless mind,

Conditioned by time, by words and knowledge.

It is an unsurpassable obstacle in the encounter with “what is”,

Therefore, knowledge and the “ego” – with all its story –must be silent!

If mind and thought are silent – the human being is liberated,

Without desire and expectations, we discover true Life.

In a state of freedom – through “Self-knowing”,

We expand into Infinity – melting with the Sacred.

We encounter Love, transforming everything;

In Its absence, there is only chaos and calamity.

Does the mind become silent by itself, so we can be Simplicity?

Of course it doesn’t, for it is “ego” and activity!

Only Light-Attention can make the mind become quiet,

It dissolves its energies and It dissipates the known.

In the “emptiness” that naturally ensues, revealing itself,

Simplicity and Truth transcend us into Infinity.

Thus we discover our own Perfection,

“One” with Divinity, in constant movement.

Whatever You See Is the Self

25 February 1993

You have to be aware of these points all of the time.

Point number one:

This world is a dream, just like the dream I dream at night. Everything in this world is karmic. Nothing is real. So, I will never again allow this world to dictate to me what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is bad.

Point number two:

My nature is divine. I am not the body nor this world nor have I got anything to do with this world or this body. The body goes through its own karma, it takes care of itself, does whatever it's supposed to do. It has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Point number three:

Everything I observe in this world is myself, nothing else. I only see myself wherever I look. Whatever I'm involved in. I see myself and nothing else.

Point number four:

In order to transcend this world and become totally free, I have to somehow awaken from this mortal dream. And I can only do this by becoming non-judgmental, peaceful within myself, looking at this world like a moving picture, in all kinds of scenes in a movie. I know I'm not affected by these things, by the things of this world or any other world.

Point number five:

I-am the substratum of all existence. I-am the screen in which the movie is being shown. I-am the director and producer of the movie. I-am also the actor. I play all of the parts. Therefore, I will never again become confused in the picture or the screen.

You should ponder these things every morning when you get out of bed, when you first wake up. Become aware of this.
