Det du är

Njuta av mitt liv utan mig.

Den levande sanningen är självförklarande.

Sanningen är inte abstrakt, att tala om den är abstrakt.

Friheten är fri att vara vad den än vill vara i stunden.

Du kan inte förlora det du är.

Det här Buddhasinnet andas oss.

Vi är inte mänskliga varelser som har andliga upplevelser. Vi är andliga varelser som har mänskliga upplevelser.

Du är arkitekten av ditt inre fängelse.

All there is

This is all there is and will ever be

If you are not here, you miss It

Right now...

Where are you?

Roshi

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Här är några rätt så väl valda ord av Jon Kabat-Zinn. Fastnade för titeln till boken; "Vart du än går så är du där". Var helt enkelt tvungen att läsa den. Vad meditationen inte är eller vad den är tycker jag han beskriver relativt bra. Dessa citat som levereras är också från boken.

Meditation är att delvis erkänna för sig själv att man faktiskt inte har en aning om vart man är på väg eller ens var vägen ligger.

Meditation handlar inte om att känna något speciellt. Det handlar om att känna vad man faktiskt känner. Det är inte frågan om att tömma eller stilla sitt medvetande. Meditation går först och främst ut på att låta medvetandet vara som det är och få veta lite grand om hur det ser ut just i det här ögonblicket.

Tillämpa frivillig förenkling. En sak i taget. Besöka färre platser under dagen, notera färre ting för att se mera, skaffa sig färre ägodelar för att kunna äga mera, arbeta mindre för att uträtta mera. Slå av på tempot.

"Det här är alltihop"

Förenkling och enkelhet.

Mitt på den väg vi kallar livet
fann jag mig i en mörk skog
Utan upptrampade stigar

Dante "Den gudomliga komedin"

När själviskheten gör upp dagordningen kan man drabbas av en blindhet som gör att man tror sig veta någonting som man i själva verket inte alls känner till.

Fåglarna har försvunnit i skyn
och nu förflyktigas det sista molnet.
Vi sitter tillsammans, berget och jag
tills bara berget finns kvar

Li Po

Om jag i detta ögonblick blir ett centrum för kärlek och godhet, kommer världen att få en måhända liten men långtifrån betydelselös kärna av kärlek och godhet som den nyss saknade. Det hjälper mig och det hjälper andra.

Vardagens många sysslor är inte en rad svårigheter man ska försöka smita undan för att kunna "meditera" och finna sin "väg" - det är de som är vägen.

Gary Snyder

Man måste fullborda cirkeln
återvända till det ordinära och vardagliga

"fri och lätt, mitt i marknadsplatsen"

Zen

Genom att erkänna och släppa taget om jagets impulser ger man universum lite mera utrymme låta saker och ting hända.

Gammal damm
groda hoppar i -
plask

Basho

Midnatt. Inga vågor.
Ingen vind, den tomma båten
översvämmas i månljus

Pekare till sanningen

Reality is no problem for your life as it is.

Nathan Gail

I am to "fucked up" to get It, you say. You don't know who you are yet so you can't say you are "fucked up". If you knew who you are you wouldn't say that.

Nathan Gail

You can't say how to "get It", cause how to "get It" is how to "get It".

Nathan Gail

The awareness and the content of awareness is not two.

Nathan Gail

Everything is, all there is is being.

Mind is a no-thing trying to grasp nothing.

Charles Hayes

Life is a game. The game is; "that wich isn't, is more important than that is.

Charles Hayes

Everything in the manifestation argues for the reality, man looks for the truth that fits the reality, and gives the truth to reality that doesn't fit. You see what you are looking for.

People belives there is everything.... and then me.

Charles Hayes

U G Krishnamurti

"If you have the courage to touch life for the first time, you will never know what hit you. Everything man has thought, felt and experienced is gone, and nothing is put in its place."

You have to brush everything aside to find out. Your problem is not how to get something from somebody, but how to reject everything that is offered by anybody.

As long as you are doing something to be selfless, you will be a self-centered individual.

When the movement in the direction of becoming something other than what you are isn't there any more, you are not in conflict with yourself.

The total absence of will and the total absence of effort, all and every kind, may be called an effortless state--but that effortless state is not something that you can achieve through effort.

You all fool yourselves thinking that you are going to get something by hanging around me… ho ho ho! You’re not going to get a thing because there is no need to get anything from anybody.

There is no need to change this world at all; and there is no need to change yourself either.

The search ends with the realization that there is no such thing as enlightenment. By searching, you want to be free from the self, but whatever you are doing to free yourself from the self is the self. How can I make you understand this simple thing? There is no 'how'. If I tell you that, it will only add more momentum to that.... --U.G.

You can never understand this; you can only experience this in terms of your past experience. This is outside the realm of experience. The natural state is acausal: it just happens. No communication is possible, and none necessary. The only thing that is real to you is the way you are functioning; it is an act of futility to relate my description to the way you are functioning. When you stop all this comparison, what is there is your natural state. Then you will not listen to anybody.

Get this straight, this is your state I am describing, your natural state, not my state or the state of a God-realized man or a mutant or any such thing. This is your natural state, but what prevents what is there from expressing itself in its own way is your reaching out for something, trying to be something other than what you are.

You forget that everything you have around you is the creation of thought. You are yourself born out of thought, otherwise you would not be here at all. In that sense thought has a tremendous value, yet it is the very thing that will destroy you.

While you are living, the knowledge that is there does not belong to you. So, why are you concerned as to what will happen after what you call "you" is gone?

When thought is not there all the time, what is there is living from moment to moment. It's all in frames, millions and millions and millions of frames, to put it in the language of film.

If there is one [a person in the natural state], he won't be hiding somewhere. He will be there shining like the star. You can't keep such people under bushel.

To be yourself is very easy, you don't have to do a thing. No effort is necessary. You don't have to exercise your will, you don't have to do anything to be yourself. But to be something other than what you are, you have to do a lot of things.

Whenever such a thing [enlightenment] happened, it happened to those people who had given up completely and totally all their search. That is an absolute requisite for that kind of a thing.

You are trying to enforce peace through violence. Yoga, meditation, prayers, mantras, are all violent techniques. The living organism is very peaceful; you don't have to do a thing. The peacefully functioning body doesn't care one hoot for your ecstasies, beatitudes, or blissful states.

What I am trying to point out is simply that your spiritual and religious activities are basically selfish.

Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow. It is like lightning and thunder. They occur simultaneously, but sound, travelling slower than light, reaches you later, creating the illusion of two separate events.

Your constant utilization of thought to give continuity to your separative self is 'you'.There is nothing there inside you other than that.

Real silence is explosive; it is not the dead state of mind that spiritual seekers think. This is volcanic in its nature; it's bubbling all the time--the energy, the life--that is its quality.


What is here, this Natural State, is a living thing. It cannot be captured by me, let alone by you. It's like a flower. You can't preserve its perfume; whatever you preserve of this is only a synthetic, a chemical perfume, not the living thing.

This[Natural State] is a state in which questioning has stopped. It has stopped because those questions have no relation to the way the organism is functioning, and the way the organism is functioning leaves no room for questions.

To be yourself requires extraordinary intelligence. You are blessed with that intelligence; nobody need give it to you, nobody can take it away from you. He who lets that express itself in its own way is a natural man.

You do create me. I don't create you for the simple reason that I don't have any image of myself.

We never look at anything. It is too dangerous to look because that 'looking' destroys the continuity of thinking.

I may sound very cynical, but a cynic is really a realist. Cynicism will help you to have a healthy look at the way things are going on in the world.

The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know. All these therapies, all these techniques, religious or otherwise, are only perpetuating the agony of man.


The whole purpose of a conversation or dialogue is only to convert the other man to your point of view. If you have no point of view, there is no way he can convince or convert you to his point of view.

We are not ready to accept the fact that thought can only create problems. That instrument cannot be of any help to us.

Anything that happens in space and time is limiting the energy of life. What life is I don't know; nor will I ever.

You are not ready to accept the fact that you have to give up. A complete and total surrender." It is a state of hopelessness which says that there is no way out... Any movement in any direction, on any dimension, at any level, is taking you away from yourself...

Food, clothing and shelter- these are the basic needs. Beyond that, if you want anything, it is the beginning of self-deception.

If you listen to me year after year, you are only clarifying your thoughts. It's useless.

Anything I do to help you would be adding to your misery--that's all. You add one more misery to those you already have by listening to me.

All our experiences, spiritual or otherwise, are the basic cause of our suffering.... The body is not interested in anything that you are interested in. That is the battle that is going on all the time... There seems to be no way out....

The talk of intuition and insight is another illusion. Every insight you have is born out of your thinking.

I don't have any thoughts which I can call my own--not one thought, not one word, not one experience.

Whatever we experience is thought-induced. What you don't know you can't experience. To experience a thing you have to know.

I am not out to liberate anybody. You have to liberate yourself, and you are unable to do that. What I have to say will not do it. I am only interested in describing this state, in clearing away the occultation and mystification in which those people in the 'holy business' have shrouded the whole thing. Maybe I can convince you not to waste a lot of time and energy, looking for a state which does not exist except in your imagination.

Vad finns I ögonblicket?

Meditation går först och främst ut på att låta medvetandet vara som det är och få veta lite grand om hur det ser ut just i det här ögonblicket. Det är inte meningen att man ska ta sig någon annanstans utan att man ska tillåta sig att vara där man redan är. Avstå från förväntningar och iaktta vad som är på gång för tillfället.

Jag förstår inte....

DET är det

Jag är förvirrad...

DET är också det

Äh, jag går ut...

DET är även det

Vad som än händer så är den "DET"

Allt är meditation då "DET" är det enda som händer.

Med denna konversation är möjligheten att "DET" blir medveten om "DET", av den anledningen att vi har fokus på möjligheten.

"DET" kallar jag uppvaknande...??

Citat som pekar mot "DET"

Ego has to be transcended but not excluded.

Can Space Know Itself?

Can Empty Being-Awareness actually "Divide Itself" to "Know Itself?"

Who Is This "me?" No-one Every-where and that is the Real.

Oneness Is playing the awful game that you are an individual.

The story is all about "but." You are the 'but' of the cosmic joke. You will NEVER get this. There is freedom ... but NOT for "you."

To say to anyone to do something is to imprisoning the person, you just cultivate the doer, he grows more and more. The opposite of doing is non-doing……….now, how to do that?

To be liberated is to lose something, You are not here to get anything….the you is gone.

The "me" who is not there

Rest in the awareness

Let the seer sink to it self

Who ever know this is not there

The knower is a fiction, it just appears, simes to...

The seer is never seen

Who is remembering the Not-knowing?

The seer simply reflects whatsever is there.
