Right View : You Will Go On Missing.
I have recently been listening to a lot of Adyashanti
works lately (i’ve been switching between him and Osho) and have been looking into something that seems to ring true on some level…
We will know its true intellectually until it goes beyond the concept of truth.
He said something that has for whatever reason stuck with me since I last heard it and that was, “If you have right view, the rest is sure to follow.” He is referring to the Buddhist 8 fold path in this context, which is right action, right conduct, right blah blah blah, etc. You don’t need to know all the rights to know the most important one, and the most important one seems to be the most difficult… This comes with good reason though… because how can you have right anything else, if you do not have the right view? If you are unaware that you currently have the wrong view, how can you have right action out of wrong view?

What Am I?
I’ve come back to this question… Something has brought the me back to this question…. and there is no answer.. I don’t know if the feeling of fear or the feeling of wanting to know is greater.
No matter how many times I’ve looked at this question for an answer, I’ve never gotten and answer… well not that the mind can come up with… and even if it did get an answer, what good would it do the mind… it would only be intellectual.
A Fancy question with a fancy answer is how i put it.
Still i’m pulled to ask this question and maybe through all this sleeping i’ll discover that I’m not sleeping at all.
Have you asked yourself this question with your heart. Not with the fancy intellectual… he could answer that question for days… not with him, but with the very thing that we keep go on missing… that thing that is right in front of us… WE ARE MISSING IT AT EVERY MOMENT, until the point at which we are not missing…
Do not trust the one who “knows”.

I Am a Blacksmith
Today I have become a Blacksmith
I smelt and fold the metals of my heart.
I fold, fold, fold, fold, and fold some more.
Until the point at which they become purely
One.
In hopes that one day the mind takes notice,
realizes this and gets within the fold,
that day is dawning now, and every moment.
Slowly, slowly, The blacksmith will forge the
perfect Sword.

Preparing…
I just wanted to let readers passing by that I’m still here… but I’m preparing…. lately there has nothing that has been coming to the forefront so what more is there to be done?
I prepare… I watch for that idea to express itself in its total beauty… and then the fingers do the rest of the work.
If anyone has any ideas, please leave a comment or if you want to just blow a kiss at me via comment, go for it, I’d be more than happy to return the favor!
<3
Love,
Love.

Personality Falsity
There are many people in life who claim to have a grasp on what they think they would know as being true from false when it comes to the identity. Most of the time it is those people who claim to “hate the fake” face the same dilemma of fakeness or falsity inside themselves that they see in other human beings. This is not such that it’s bad, there is only one difference in the person who is fake and from the person who thinks everyone else is fake. That is… that the person who thinks everyone is false is they themselves false, as the personality has used distinctions to justify their actions as being right.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen a lot of people claim to “hate fake people.” It intrigues me to see this because how can you hate fake people when you are that in of itself? Most people carry an ego or personality that they themselves are fake but are unaware of the fact they they are fake. They are not the person who even they themselves think they are. They seem to have a good idea of who they are, “I’m a unique individual, I can do this, this, and this.” but that doesn’t define who you are, those are only qualities in which exist within the personality, things that have accumulated over time from other sources. You are not those things, because they either will weaken and be dropped in time, or will cease to exist based on new experiencing.
Since experiencing is always happening, the individual (this is different from the personality) is dynamically changing at all times. Never was it the same as it was even one second ago. Never are you more who you are then you are right now at this very moment. Everything else that is claimed comes from the past. Although those things can be done from the world point of view you are not that, it is only a tool in which can portray the beauty of what you actually are. So to say that you hate the false would be incorrect because it is not that you hate the false, its only that you don’t understand or know the truth that is you.
So here is a thought to be meditated on… if you see falsity in a human being, what is it that you do not like, and if you claim to know who you are, and you yourself is not false, then what are you, and where do you come from? What can you pinpoint is being absolutely yourself? Where in existence are you. You cannot possibly be anything you think that you are, because anything conceptual is not truly you, it only describes a fraction of what you encompass. So even you have a false notion of yourself, thinking that you know who you are. So even the you, that you think you are is false, so drop the belief that you need to condemn the false, they are as unaware of what they do as you are. They are trapped in a dream that even you are caught in. Once you know who you are, everything else will fall into place, until then, keep a watchful eye on the “me” that saying, “I hate this” or “I like this”. All meaningless assertions made from a false ego.
Who you are, makes no condemnation because there is nothing to be condemned, everything is as perfect as it should be in that exact moment. Even this misses the mark in describing who you are.
