channel your energy toward the light


 

Don’t

think you can attain

total awareness and whole enlightenment

without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania.

Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life

energy toward the light. Without the discipline

to practice them, you will tumble

constantly backward into

darkness.

 

Here is

the great secret:

Just as high awareness

of the subtle truth is gained through

virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines,

so also is it maintained through these

things. Highly evolved beings

know and respect the

truth of this.

know what came before time

pipeline, kevin krautgartner

 

Looked

at but not seen,

listened to but not heard,

grasped for but not held, formless,

soundless, intangible: the tao

resists analysis and defies

comprehension.

 

Its rising

is not about light,

its setting not a matter of

darkness. Unnameable, unending,

emerging continually, and continually

pouring back into nothingness, it is

formless form, unseeable image,

elusive, evasive unimaginable

mystery. Confront it, and

you won’t see its face.

Follow it and you

can’t find an

end.

 

Perceive its

ancient subtle heart, however,

and you become master of the moment.

Know what came before time, and

the beginning of wisdom

is yours.

do you imagine the universe is agitated?

maroun habib

 

Do you

imagine the universe

is agitated? Go into the desert

at night and look out at the stars. 

This practice should answer

the question. 

 

The superior

person settles her mind as 

the universe settles the stars in the sky. 

By connecting her mind with the subtle origin,

she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally

expands and ultimately her mind

becomes as vast and 

immeasurable as

the night

sky.

the truth of tao is everywhere

dragon aurora over iceland

 

Just as

the world can reveal itself

as particles, the Tao can reveal itself

as human beings. Though world and particles

aren’t the same, neither are they different.

Though the cosmic body and your

body aren’t the same, neither

are they different.

 

Worlds and particles,

bodies and beings, time and space:

all are transient expressions of the Tao.

Unseeable, ungraspable, the Tao is beyond

any attempt to analyze or categorize it.

At the same time, its truth is

everywhere you

turn.

 

If you

can let go of it

with your mind and

surround it with your

heart, it will live

inside you

forever.
