  1. Chopping wood and carrying water

  2. Loving oneself

    So far a dozen or so. And, like i said; be open and receive without much concern. First couple of times, mind might want to pursue it, try to make sense of it. Mind's main purpose-goal is to create order out of chaos. In this case, it's not so much chaos, it's the fact of order there might be a hidden meaning beyond the flower fragrant.

  5. Loving oneself

    Full of light, and full of delight--so full that you start overflowing. Then love is known as the greatest perfection of the world. It is never less, and never more. But our upbringing is so neurotic, so psychologically sick that it destroys all possibilities of inner growth. We are taught at the very beginning to be a perfectionist, and then naturally you go on applying your perfectionist ideas to everything, even to love. Love is a spiritual experience--nothing to do with sexes and nothing to do with bodies, but something to do with the inner most being. But you have not even entered into your own temple. You don't know at all who you are, and you are trying to find out how to love better. First, be thyself; first, know thyself, and love will come as a reward. It is a reward from the beyond. It showers on you, fills your being. And it continues and brings with it a tremendous longing to share. Love is a shadow of alertness, of consciousness. Be more conscious breathing moment to moment, and love will come as you become more conscious, mindfully. It comes when those who are ready and prepared to receive it. When Love comes for the first time and fills your being you are absolutely overwhelmed and mystified. You don't know what is happening. You know your heart is dancing, you'll know fragrances that you have never known before. Say for instance; carnation fragrances, without the carnation present. Jesus says "God is love". Love of it's creation-Life-ing, as it is. even if consciousness observes 'good-bad', this is it's creative imaginary creation. Not on a human selfish love-choosing this or that. But as a Wholeness for Life- Love.
  6. Aloneness solitude is your nature. One Path. Either you follow the path of love, devotion, dancing, dissolve yourself-other completely into your love toward the inner divine. The path is of dissolving, no awareness is needed. You are needed to be drunk, completely drunk with ThyRock. Or choose the path of meditation. Try 50 hours a week. There you are not needed to be dissolved into anything. There you will become very integrated, alert, aware. Follow the path of love and one day, suddenly, you will see that meditation has flowered within you-thousands of white lotuses. Enjoy your being, that's all. Enjoy Life, that's all. A being of warmth is simply health. No more searching, or claiming a result. Everything just is, as it is. Life's whole works consist of moving inside. The religion world is the world of the within. And the within is the beyond. In Latin sin has 2 meanings: one is "missing the target," and the other is even more beautiful--"without." Sin means to be without, to be outside yourself-(thinking inner content)-haha. Virtue means to be within--to be inside yourself-with content. "Soon after the death of Rabbi Moshe, Rabbi Mendel of Kotyk asked one of his disciples, "What was most important to your teacher?" The disciple thought and then replied, "Whatever he happened to be doing at the moment." The moment is the most important thing!

    An Elementary System within Style!! Life is so intelligent~Now what??
  11. Fool's Journey

    Came across an article and movie on the "Magic Mountain". There's a mass quality of peeps interested in "Occult Knowledge or magic", especially within Western tradition. Which relies heavily upon a multi-layered network of corresponding intra-systemic symbols, as a mnemonic system that 'trains' young sponge-like minds throughout adult life-the imaginative faculties heightens the vision of the soul consciousness that peers directly into the divine astral in order to 'transcend' the normal plane of consciousness. Eastern tradition of zen- and yoga practices take the opposite approach by stripping away attachments of the train mind and by stilling the imaginary faculties of mind. To rise beyond-before- below the highs of spiritual occult knowledge takes strength to let go of collecting. Is a deeper conditionings and keep the mind attaining more information in cycles of madness-rabbit hole-pull-push. Sitting and not thinking is never going to become a practice by the masses. Mind is trained and controlled through reputitious collecting for excitement and nervousness. Don't get me wrong, there is a richness within the occult secret knowledge, only if you can read it with an open mind. And, these stories and symbols that can easily be manipulated toward the opposite means, to blind and bind-to blame and praise modes. You, can actually manipulate yourself, thinking someone is actually doing something to you. Once empty consciousness takes hold of the attitude within the belief of an inner-outer play with the imaginary symbolism, it's revealed with a heavy hand that awareness becomes deeply awake of it's play. Reality-One Life with it's surreal beauty-image imagination can be violently symbolic with regards to attachments and trying to attain it's limited content. Collective consciousness as a Planet were educated at a young age to recognize the duality of words, mathematical numbers, symbols to take as; TRUTH and to belief that were these limitless entities within memory-reality tunnels of content of the subconscious, this is false. An Elementary System, a trial if you will to know how words and images play with each other and then eventually cancel each other out. It takes a fool to acknowledge, this. It takes failure to become success. It takes courage-strength-compassion-understanding to walk this pathless empty path, where in actuality there truly is no path! It's the path of the thinking mind that thinks within things, that eventually you can see through this elementary system is coming and going, and continues to do, so! ~Regardie~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Regardie

  13. Whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; b...

  14. The Domestication of HumansAll the rules in our mind are introduced to us as children and they are taught to us through repetition. What you believe is acceptable is based upon the rules you’ve learned throughout your life. Everything that you’ve learned, including ever word and every letter, is an agreement that you’ve made. Many of the agreements by which you live – your religion, your language, your values, your morals – were established before you were born...

  15. Thinking is impersonal. Your true nature 'before-after'-beginning-end is Empty. (ego-me-bodymind-doesn't care for this word-"Empty or nothingness", it could possibly go into a nervous breakdown." ) But, we were 'trained' to believe that were found in word or thoughts thinking in things-limitations." Thoughts think w/o our consent. Thoughts are made to think in word-chatter-noisy mind-brain farts, etc. One Life, One Reality lives us, within opposite of word. An 'individual' = inner divi dual. "Who is thinking, as an individual-consciousness limited per-son/per-daughter in opposite of word-brain fart thoughts?" Words are merely pointers. Words lead to separation, individual from nature itself. In creation-nature of Life, were all connected, and the human species is a bit more advanced for ThyRocks Creative Creation full of ideas and imagination, Life is Full of Art Forms. This is It!! What a Beautiful Life or What a Ugly Life--<see this is the frequency of opposite play within words. "Beautiful-Ugly". Go with the Flow, whatever the wind blows, try to accept it as it is. ThyRock onelife placed it's agenda within each channel for All of it's sentient beings to know, how Life Works its Creation. "Grandiose, exploitative skits filled with drama schemes that tend to fail, or not. It doesn't matter either way. Your True Nature is Empty Consciousness Aware of ThyRock's Creation!! Namaste

  17. Let's Talk About Afterlife

    it's the the 'belief' in thought word as it was noted: word-thought became flesh by the One Life than the thought of birth-death along with its content and definitions was believed to hold truth and such power over thought taking shape-form manifest creative expression. Who is the thought-word and it's content and definition? Thy Rock-God is never an object-subject of it's own knowledge. The One Life brain/body -thought magically became knowledge-information-limited within the hour glass of time-space, duality thought. "One Life Lives Us".
  18. meditation is an emptiness numbing, true nature. meditation isn't a means to arriving anywhere. Consciousness is aware of thought thinking things, but consciousness isn't a thing, person, place. consciousness is as close to knowing space without a second or a first, even consciousness isn't the true tao.
  19. Is taking an entire bottle of melatonin safe?

    Valerian Root 450 mg, works! take up to 5 capsules at bedtime
  20. Are all paths really valid?

    when thinking things drift either this way or that way, consciousness notices-aware. but it doesn't automatically move, unless it's an itch to scatch or an urge to walk to the bathroom- if a thing, say; ice cream arises without a taste or desire, it remains unmoved. without desire, taste- stillness is reached!
  21. Are there accidents?

    Not at all~ If you come across self-other-deprecation, shame, guilt or disappointment in (inner)-self and (outer)-other for past-Now-Future behaviors, forgive-forget by Knowing and expanding the combination of inning-outing One love-One Life to a Freshier level of understanding. Ya come to resonate to 'mental exhaustion' but remain to continue as it is-whatever it is with balance, patience, and compassion to know this Truth! This is also a time when acceptance of instead of resistance to whatever is occurring with inner life is helpful as a point of reference. Take inner emotion-mental responsibility. Be the lighthouse upon Life. "For they not know, who they are or what they do".
  22. Are all paths really valid?

    "If we clearly apperceive the difference Between direct apprehension in Whole-mind And relative comprehension by reasoning In mind divided into subject-and-object, All the apparent mysteries will disappear. "For that will be found to be the key Which unlocks the doors of incomprehension." ~Wei Wu Wei "Since all paths are pathless which life resides within thought thinking- happiness-unhappiness, valid-invalid." "I am not who you think I am, and neither are you!" Were neither of time or timeless. Concepts-words will never describe what is! ---------------- John Wheeler Offers: Space, time and objects appear IN consciousness. You cannot say where or when that appears as the notions of time and place arise AFTER it (consciousness). Step one is to stabilize with a recognition of this conscious-presence. That is not really IN the body, as the body and all else is IN it. However, that sense of being (which is the same as consciousness) can be, and often is, projected through ignorance onto objects. Once the recognition of consciousness is clear and stable, we can examine that also. Identification with objects in consciousness is a by-product or side-effect of not knowing who we are. The point is to find out what you are. "Present and aware" shows the general direction in which to look, but you still need to get to the root. When you know what you are in the deepest sense, the identification ceases naturally. There are often subtle misunderstandings and notions that get added into this subject. That is why I eventually went to see Bob Adamson, who had this pointed out and settled directly with Nisargadatta Maharaj. This was immensely helpful for me and allowed me to let go of many of the "spiritual concepts" I had acquired over the years, even in so-called "non-duality" circles. It is really getting back to the essence of the basic message so that we can understand for ourselves. It is much easier when the spiritual concepts and "half-truths" are exposed and seen for what they are. What you are is prior to thoughts. Abiding at the level at which you truly exist, ignorance and identifications are resolved, and there is no further doubt about your real nature.
  23. Thank you ALL for the Soul_FULL Birthday-Wishes!! yippie!! another 36 more years to go!! lol yuk~I'm playing hooky for another 2 weeks or so from Internet usage, working on piecing a quilt and catching up with downloaded listening material. LOVE YOU ALL ♥ ♥

  24. Once you know and realize Earthbody entities is, an expression manifestation of the One Life Creation-Thy Rock or God. Created duality words within opposites. This is Life-This is it's Novel-Author-ity. When your feeding the 'me' it appears that your feeding an individual consciousness in thought of appearance-timebound. But in actuality, it's Thy Rock Consciousness Aware of 'eating is happening', food is happening, going to the bathroom is happening, and by no one. The me eventually stops (identifing within thought-time-content) with 2 or more objects moving-it's a happening. Thy Rock-You-Us-them-we-they are imagining the manifest in time thought thinking in words. Our True Nature is Timeless. "Thy Rock is never an object of it's knowledge!"
  25. Here's a discussion between 2 familiar characters. And the topic possible found online: "Death has very little meaning" Krishnamurthi and David Bohm: K-Are we still saying that human beings are still behaving with the animal instincts? D.B.-Yes, and that the animal instincts, it seems, may be overpowering in their intensity and speed, and especially with young children. It may be that it is only natural for them to respond with the animal instincts. K- So that means, after a million years, that we are still instinctly behaving like our ancestors? D.B- In some ways, probably, our behavior is also complicated by a product of time-which is thinking thoughts, things. Survival. The animal instinct in time and getting worse. D.B- One of the difficulties is when ppl and animals come together as hatred becomes directed and substained by thought, and more subtle and dangerous. K-Many centuries we haven't found a way, a method, a system-something that will move us away from that track. D.B-Yes. One of the difficulties, surely is when ppl begin to be angry with each other their anger builds up and they can't seem to do anything about it. They may try to control it, but that doesn't work. Under collective society, as it is, it cannot be accommodated, society is organized under assumption that pain-pleasure are going to rule. Age of Reason, when man can be rational, could choose to be rational, in order to bring love and harmony everywhere. K-But he hasn't done that! D.B.-So things got worse, leading to the French Revolution, to the terror and so on. But after that, ppl didn't have so much faith in reason as a way of getting anywhere, or coming out of conflict. K-So where does that leave us? We were talking about insight that actually changes nature of the brain itself. D.B-Yes, by dispelling the darkness in the brain, insight allows the brain to function in a new way. K-Thought has been operating in darkness, creating it's own darkness and functiong in that. And insight is, as we said, like a flash which breaks down the darkness. Then when that insight clears the darkness, does man act, or function, rationally? DB- Yes, man will than function rationally, and with perception, rather than by rules and reason. You see, some ppl identify reason with certain rules of logic which would be mechnical. But there can be reason as a form of perception of order. Question: Is insight perception? D.B. It is a flash of light which make perception possible. K-Right, that's it. D.B- It is more fundamental than perception. K-So insight is pure perception, from that perception their is action, which is then substained by rationality. Is that it? D.B.Yes! K-That's right. And the rationality is perception of order. K-So, would you say there is insight perception and order? D.B. Yes. K.But that order is not mechanical, becuz it is not based on logic. D.B.There are no rules. K-No rules. Lets put it that way, it's better. This order is not based on rules. This means insight, perception, action, order. Then you come to the question is insight continuous or is it by flashes? D.B.It isn't time binding~ K-Yes, that insight is the elimination of the darkness which is very center of the ego self, the darkness that self creates? Insight dispels that very center. D.B.-Yes, with that darkness, perception is not possible. It's blindness in a way. K-RIght, then what next? I am an ordinary man, with all my animal instincts, pleasures and pain and reward and punishment and so on. I hear you say this, and I see what you are saying has some kind of reason, logic, and order. DB-Yes, it makes sense so far K-Than how am I to have reason in my Life? How am I to bring it about? You understand these words which are difficult are all of them time binding. But is that possible? DB-Yes, without time, you see. K-Is it possible for man with his narrow mind, to have this insight, so that pattern of life is broken? We have tried all this, tried every form of self-denial, and yet that insight doesn't come about. Once in a while there is a partial insight but that partial insight is not the whole insight, so there is still partial darkness, the creator, the sustainer of it, is still there. K-We have stated the general plan, right? And I have to make the moves, or make no moves at all. I haven't the energy. I haven't the capacity to see it quickly. Becuz this is immediate, not just something that I practice and eventually get. The light doesn't shine within 100%. Outer darkness remains to throw it's punches, tests, trials, challenges. I haven't the capacity, I haven't the sense of urgency, of immediacy. Everything is against me: my family, my wife-husband, society. Everything. And does this mean that I eventually have to become a monk? D.B-No. Becoming a monk is the same as becoming anything else. K-That's right. Becoming a monk is like becoming a businessman. I see all this, verbally as well as rationally, intellectually, but I can't capture this thing. Is there a differnt appoach to this issue? I am caught in the same pattern-Is the old way of life's patterns the only way? On a collective society way, yes. Life functions from habit. K-As long as the "me", "I", centers is creating darkness, and thought is operating in that darkness, there must be disorder, and society will be as it is now. To move away from that, you must have insight. Insight can only come when there is a flash of wisdom-knowledge on the inner-dual-play skits and scripts connecting with Earthbound entities. Flash, meaning a sudden light, which abolishes not only darkness but the creator of darkness. DB-Yes. K-Is there a different approach to this question all together, although an old response seems so absolute. DB-well possibly. When you say it seems absolute, do you want a less absolute appoach? K- I am saying that if that is the only way, than we are doomed. DB-You can produce this flas at 'will' K-No, it cant' be produced through Me-I will, if you try darkness remains and stronger. Or through sacrifice, through any form of human effort. That is out, we know we have finished with all that. And we agreed that to some ppl-to "X"-this insight seemed so natural and we asked is it not natural to others? DB-If we begin with the child, it seems natual to the child to respond with his/her animal instincts(to survive), with great intesity which sweep him/her away. Darkness arises becuz it is so "OVERWHELMING". K.-Yes. But why is it differnt with "X"? **END** So is darkness-lightness created by One ConsciousAwareness Creator? I do believe so. Western education curriculm is based on dual-2 opposite words, helpers for each other. Ex: head-tail on One Coin. We wouldn't know Heads without it's tails, or hot without cold, on without off, etc. Words-Thoughts are a product of time. And our true nature is timelessness!
