Self
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 😉
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”.

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.

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.

You have created all angels
to bow down and worship Your creation
through and in me;
You created me
to stand and worship You.
A worder’s invitation ….
In the beginning is the Word …. In the end is the Word …. now is the Word ….
A worder knows how to work with letters,
Letters let matter happen;
matters expect words to happen.
A worder husbands words for Love,
They are his sheep.
The worder knows the double you order,
The transparency,
Knows the ebb and flow of light ….
When there is no worder working,
Words can empty, break and fail.
I am a worder …. I am in Hull ….
Come to Hull ….
A conversation in my taxi,
Simply pay as you go,
An hour or a day, whatever you say
Move your mountain,
Come to Hull
One, two or three at a time ….
While there is still time ….
Come ….
Or, for more formal treatment
A counsellor can be found
Online, or on Hull’s own ground,
DRT – Diction Resolution Therapy

Conscious contact.
Open the lead ….
…. Precious
…. predicates consciousness
Contacting
the process of becoming,
The delicious contrasting the atrocious,
And, from the one hundred and ten words –
Witnessing similarly, always and only
…. what you yourself, in conscience,
Have held as being consciously precious.
Perfect perfection, confection, infection, affection – a refectory with a prefect effect
“What follows is not a poem in the Arabic, but part of a chapter from the Kitab al-Tajalliyat. However, since it was translated in the form of a poem by Henry Corbin in Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn ‘Arabi, it has become deservedly famous.” (Ibn Arabi web site as linked below)
Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi wrote the above in the thirteenth century.
Postscript added 12/12/20 to show how this revelation of the ‘kun’, or the primordial ‘be’ is the only place that ‘behaviour’ can change – the place of the contemporary revelation that is the 12 Step Programme.
Salaam.
