“Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing
and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down
in that grass,
the world is too full
to talk about.
Ideas, language,
even the phrase
“each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
The breeze at dawn
has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what
you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going
back and forth
across the doorsill
where the two worlds
touch.
The door is round
and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.”
— Rumi

The thinker is the psychological entity who has accumulated experience as knowledge; he is the time-bound centre that is the result of ever-changing environmental influence, and from this centre he looks, he listens, he experiences. As long as one does not understand the structure and the anatomy of this centre, there must always be conflict, and a mind in conflict cannot possibly understand the depth and the beauty of meditation.
In meditation there can be no thinker, which means that thought must come to an end—the thought which is urged forward by the desire to achieve a result. Meditation has nothing to do with achieving a result. It is not a matter of breathing in a particular way, or looking at your nose, or awakening the power to perform certain tricks, or any of the rest of that immature nonsense. … Meditation is not something apart from life. When you are driving a car or sitting in a bus, when you are chatting aimlessly, when you are walking by yourself in a wood or watching a butterfly being carried along by the wind—to be choicelessly aware of all that is part of meditation.

“Understand me. I’m not like an ordinary world. I have my madness, I live in another dimension and I do not have time for things that have no soul. ~Charles Bukowski

“On a deeper level you are already complete. When you realise that, there is a joyous energy behind what you do.” – Eckhart Tolle

” I go into my heart, like into a room, and I sit and talk to whoever, and whatever energies involved, and I see the things I want fixed or healed, done, and then I enjoy the feeling of having all these things healed. Our loving hearts are the key. I promise you, they want us to be confused and baffled and startled and horrified. It makes us weak, and takes our minds off love, and distracts us from our powerful creative forces. The darkness gets more of our power, every moment that we think about them and their terrible behavior. It is very powerful to laugh at their fear of us. Laughing at them is potent. ” – Eileen Lynn
