The beauty of Consciousness is that even though made in 2009 and my only just seeing it, previous blog posts all seem to have led me to it, but then again, how could it be otherwise 😉

Bliss

The world is aflame
As usual
The dramas of power
As usual
Birthing and deathing
As usual
99 Names contending
As usual
The wonderful and the wicked
As usual
God does not break a promise
As usual
I am in bliss

‘Abd al-Mu’min al-Jāmi’ ibn Hulli.

Current (Lost in Love)

image

A battery of forces at Life’s disposal
The current situation arrives
Flowing between + and –

Withheld attraction in the casing
The flux of ardent chemistry
The balance of yin yang

The pendulum swings eternally
From One point of entry
A weight, wait, returning

The flex of this ancient system
The singular transmission
Love, light, dark, Light.

Come unstuck, become unstuck
Let yourself Be found out
before you’re lost in?

The world at my feet

There is premeditation everywhere, it is the planning function of thought that rehearses a hearse’s journey until the possibility of acting without failure appears, until the thought predominates, then dominates that “there is the possibility of getting away with it”, without dying on the stage that is the material world.

Premeditation is to meditation
What prediction is to diction
What presence is to Essence.

There is practice – of course, the inference that leads to a conference, a reference that melts the hard deference, the circumference of a concentration, a single joint centration, practical like any joint, flexible as a knee – that makes perfect.

How to move from premeditation to meditation? By means of a mediation, through engaging in mediation until your own “t” appears.

Getting stuck in premeditation blocks the joy of being.

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy”.
JALAL AD-DIN RUMI 1207-1273

The Sufi Map of the Self

I just finished The Sufi Map of the Self by Haeri, Shaykh Fadhlalla on Kindle for Android! http://www.amazon.co.uk/kindleforandroid/

This book is just magnificent …. I managed to complete the assignments, they have helped me to remember that whether adept our beginner, the Way is given and has to be received as a gift. The Way is Love, it is practical, travel it.

Projections (or time for t)

The world is not stuck
I am
The world is not sick
I am
My culture’s not lost
I am
Love is not wasted
I am
Death’s not an end
I am
Birth’s not a start
I am
You’re not alone
I am
I am who am
From Man to Human to Atman.

Repair

The pair that is returned
in repair
The two hemispheres
of one sphere
The unsticking of the stuck
The refloating of the sunk
The recycling of your junk
The raising of your dead aim
Is all possible

What is lacking?
All are flawed
‘In my weakness
Is my strength’ …

The clear and urgent will
Prior to the inevitable event
Of the dead line …
Is the life line,
Thrown into the storm
Of opposing choices …
Hypocrisy is the only crushing ill …

All are flawed.

Do not pretend …. tend
Do not precare …. care
Do not premind …. mind
Do not premeditate …. meditate

All are flawed.

From the womb
to the tomb
Two beads on the tesbih
That’s all they are
Giving birth and death,
Two names, two angels
Repaired by the other 96 and one

All are flawed.

Love is the thread
For the beads
Of the breaths of your life
It takes work to
Look forward to your death
With as much symbolic excitement
As you might a coital culmination
And escape hypocrisy.

All are flawed.

Your soul awaits
A germination
Either here,
Or there
Hopefully,
if you miss it here,
And hope, is it all there is
then
From here to there,
The letter t?

All are flawed
Until wed once more there.

Some it seems are taken there,
Then
Returned to here
Ere folks lose hope
Completely
That One’s repair can ease the way
Home.
