The expansion of consciousness. The expanding of awareness
beyond the self-imposed limits of the socially conditioned mind. Expanding
consciousness in order to see new things and experience new feelings. Expanding
in order to come in contact with the living wisdom of God as it permeates every
atom and every vibrating string of creation. To listen as every vibrating
string is humming with love, the love that creates and sustains and guides this
manifestation we call life. This manifestation we call earth; that we call
heaven, Call it by any names you choose. The meaning is in all ways the same.
No words can never come close to describing life in a way
that will bring expanded consciousness into being in a person’s life. They can
only point the way. The choice to follow and find is up to the individual. Then
the new discovery comes into being in a person’s life spontaneously. And then
we, in turn, search for words to describe what we have experienced.
A search for words that will describe what cannot be described. Because words are always just words – sounds that point. In the full realization of
this situation some lapse into silence and are, perhaps, never seen or heard
from again. Others are fascinated by the different paths and the men and the
women walking on those paths. They are fascinated by the challenge of finding
words to describe the indescribable. They strive to walk the dharma path
wherever it may lead. They strive to use that path as a learning tool. To walk
the path of meditation and to live the life of activity and engagement as if they
were a hand in a glove.
Experiencing the tantra of life at play. Dancing on the edge
of the world, looking out into the stars. Into the stars and the breaking dawn.
Realizing and being shaken by the transitory nature of it all. Here, in front
of my mortal eyes, caught for an instant of time - Eternity.
