THE sECRET OF nOT cARING

He is dear to me who runs not after the pleasant or away from the painful, grieves not, lusts not, but lets things come and go as they happen. - Bhagavad Gita 12:17 Excerpted from The Bhagavad Gita, translated by Eknath Easwaran, copyright 1985. Reprinted with permission from Nilgiri Press, www.nilgiri.org. The Secret of Not Caring The secret is the caring not; The hope of nothing better. The Promise that each holy moment Bares such perfect blessing. Now, no care, all burdens share; All family... Sign in to see full entry.

Sitting In Hopefulness

Sitting In Hopefulness I sit in hope bolstered by fresh winds across this ridge. Hoping some miracle of peace, forgiveness, and strength graced your path. Open-hearted, you stop; to share a smoke some quiet insect quadraphonic sound reprogramming the past, present and present to come. I hunger for one touch of you, one embrace of knowing. This is for real; no running avails, no hidden agenda, no structural improvements. Just we two together in Love. © 2011, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Mornings Are Made for This

Mornings Are Made for This Each morning when consciousness dawns anew, what words do you create? Shams says: “Try this. Awaken tomorrow with the intention: No Words. Watch and listen for the very first of your mind 'babblings'.” The day will come when you can keep silence for an entire minute. On that day, You shall be a very high being. “Rejoice!” © 2011 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Four Character Types

This was just too fun: "There are four character types among people. [One who says] 'What's mine is mine and what's yours is yours' is of average character, and some say, this is the character of Sodom. [One who says] 'What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine' is unlearned (lit., [of] the people of the land). [One who says] 'What's mine is yours and what's yours is yours' is pious. [One who says] 'What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine' is wicked." Sign in to see full entry.

What Shall Separate Us?

Is there anything that can separate us from Truth? Any thought? Any action? Any belief or faith? Or Is Truth Too big, Too simple, To unitary to be ruffled by mere mortals no matter what their cry? If tis true that only breath will get us through; Breathe! © 2011, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

There Is a Magic Time

There Is a Magic Time The Sun drops just below horizon For thirty seconds the whole world stands still, as when some eternal time-keeper readjustsma mfine, jewelled timepiece. In these brief moments, magic is possible, dreams come true. In these precious moments, I am thinking of you. A Holy Lady once said there is a "triple crown" appearing to eyes that can see. Now, after many years, scientists agree that what we see is the triple ground connection that plugs us in to Being: a live, charged... Sign in to see full entry.

Breath

Breath Breath, most taken for granted; most universal gift (power) of life in every form. All life breathes: The animals, the plants, even the rocks all breathe. A cave that cannot breathe, dies. Oh fellow traveler on this journey from bith to death and beyond. The Friend entreats us: “ Attend to your breath. Give it some of your precious attention and awareness. It may turn out to be the hidden, royal key to life's deepest secrets. © 2011, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

We Are No Longer Two

We are no longer two; We are One, Connected in the Heart of All. We no longer see eye to eye; We see with a single eye. We speak now with one voice; We act with a single resolve. Your disease becomes my own, and victory is easily ours. The rainbow of our Love takes in All, as toward the One we aim our heart arrows at the bullseye of love, harmony, and beauty. © 2006, Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

surely I will be with Thee again

Goodnight sweet starling. The rain begins its nightly fall. We sleep alone tonight, you and I. Great astral journeies, this night, I pray Thee, my Deep Love. The rain stops as quickly as it started, then, starts again. Surely, The Earthshan cries at our terrible aim: so wide, we miss the mark. The moon is hidden now, like the garment of my soul. Have no fear For surely I will be with Thee again. C. Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Allah's Scribe

I am only Allah's scribe, recording faithfully (to my ability) God's beautiful projects: the Love intentions toward us and our Earth-mother. I am blessed to record these revelations of and from The One I share this honor with all of consciousness, itself. I share the hope that one day soon we shall surely share our planet home in the equity of our Oneness. 2011, Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

Healing Comes Easy

Healing comes easy when the heart desires it. Just now, it comes when faith in action thrives. Healing comes quickly to those who know helplessness when surrender is complete. Wholeness is our birthright; Claim it now! Who would walk this narrow way that leads to light and truth? It is not God who strikes us ill. It is our own held to resentments and woundings that unbraid the the cords of healing love. Now step boldly into the Light of heaven's path of well. Know that final victories belong to...

Righteous Indignation

When righteous indignation rears is powerful head, Right and Wrong become so black and white that I am blinded in a field of fears, lost in the forest of familiar lies. This too, is just a moment in a series of moments filled mostly with love and acceptance. So I surrender early, that righteous indignation may have its moment, triumphant in knowing wrong from right. I hold on to the raft of hope with all the strength of my tranquil heart. I am so sorry; I forgive this wounded me. © 2011... Sign in to see full entry.
