the only real change is uncontrolled change
say that again to yourself.
THE ONLY REAL CHANGE IS UNCONTROLLED CHANGE.
this is a koan to meditate on.
this is a sentence without an ending, so with no period
listen to what you are thinking.
let me do that right now.
NEW YEAR'S is an invention of the human mind
happy new year!
it should be said every day since every day is the last day of a given year and also the first day of another year.
remember: the safest statements to make are those which are true.
CHOICELESS AWARENESS
Jiddu Krishnamurti has called it
CHOICELESS AWARENESS.
Be CHOICELESSLY AWARE for a moment right now.
How does one do such?
See if you can notice it yourself. Contemplate the two words.
What is the first word? What does it mean?
The second word refers to what?
This process can get quite subtle, if you let it.
If you get "yourself" out of the way.
What is the "yourself" which gets gotten out of the way?
Could it be the thoughts going, going?
Just watch the process, the same way you watch a river flowing.

AN EXPERIENCE WITH THE WHISTLING VESSELS
I have used the whistling vessels with clients on more
than one occasion.
One client later told me that blowing/hearing the vessel
just the one time she did had a deeply transforming
effect in her life. We had used the vessels for just 5
minutes, each holding/blowing into one.
She said it shook all the way through her
"to her core",
and in a positive sense.
This was before I had realized just how potent blowing
into the whistling vessels can be!

Dancing Bits of Animated Earth
There are 8 Peruvian Whistling Vessels. They pester me from time to time, urging me to realize my dream.
These clay pots have certain power, in terms of how they were constructed and tuned.
They will transport you if you blow into them. Actually, you can only blow into one at a time. Well, I have blown into two at once, but generally one is better.
I wish sincerely to share what they have to offer.

INSIDE
there is something somewhere that KNOWS
it KNOWS without trying
it often is within you
do you know what is meant by "within you"?
has to be FELT
directly experienced
without the mediation of language
--------------------
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND SOMEONE ELSE
YOU HAVE TO
WANT to
UNDERSTAND.
YOU MUST INTEND TO COMPREHEND WHAT
THE OTHER MEANS
THIS DOES NOT OCCUR VERY MUCH IN TODAY'S WORLD
[WHAT IS BEING CONVEYED HERE?]
PEACE IS NOT PASSIVE

PEACE IS NOT PASSIVE
FIND THE SILVER SURFER RIDING YOUR BREATH IN AND OUT
YOU MAY CONSIDER IT TRIVIAL FOR ME TO SAY THIS,
but
TODAY REALLY IS THE FIRST DAY OF
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
MORE PRECISELY, TODAY IS THE
VERY FIRST DAY!!
THERE ISN'T EVEN SUCH A THING AS A "DAY".
WELL, THERE'S A SUN RISING AND SUN SETTING,
AND THE "TIME" INBETWEEN BOTH WAYS.
but, the NOTION of TIME as such,
is just that,
a NOTION.....
"TIME" IS A CONCEPT.
and concepts are what they are and are not what they are not
it is both true and not true that 'CONCEPTS' are real
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
EXTERNAL TO YOURSELF WHICH
IS STOPPING YOU FROM
DIRECTLY EXPERIENCING
TIMELESSNESS
the eternal NOW
RIGHT NOW
that's all there is to say
as "they" say out there on the street,
"Have a nice day!"

YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS VIBRATING
peruvian whistling vessels are bits of animated earth.
peruvain whistling vessels are miraculous.
peruvian whistling vessels are mischievous.
peruvian whistling vessels are under-utilized.
you contain the cosmos.
your body is a mirror.
your soul, which is separate from nothing, is a very funny and fun and giganticly intelligent.
listen to the sound of whales as they parade their wares invisibly at the next farmer's market you attend.

IS ANYONE HOME ?
FIND OUT WHAT IS BEATING INSIDE YOUR HEAD.
DISCOVER WHAT IS THE CONSCIOUSNESS, THE SENSE OF "YOU"
THAT YOU ARE BUT NEVER THINK ABOUT.
LOOK UNDERNEATH EVERY CARPET.
PEER BEHIND EVERY SET OF THOUGHTS YOU THINK.
IS THERE ANYBODY HOME?
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?

TRUTH IS VERY SIMPLE
We are experiencing the turning of an age.
Nature, as we like to call "it", is something so much
larger and more complex than we imagine.
Gaia lives in the belly of the dancing alligator.
Shiva serves breakfast to the hummingbird.
Amma hugs dragons and caterpillars and sea lions.
Every person has a Heart so large that he would
vaporize instantly if he strolled through a tenth of
its meadows!
Let the Whistling Vessels help you discover the portal!
Become the Peace and Wisdom that you seek...

THERE IS ROOM FOR EVERYTHING
There is room for all things!
That includes all creatures, all beings, especially YOU....
EVEN WHEN YOU AREN'T CERTAIN, YOU WILL STILL BE DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE!
simply keep turning back in toward
the center and
YOU WILL BE / FEEL OKAY!
And if you don't know which way is the Center, just close your eyes, breath in and out deeply several cycles and SENSE the tingling in your toes and forehead and belly button.
Wise men and women have been saying for millenia,
"Ask and you shall receive."
Try it out! Give it a test run!
But you have to proceed
AS IF
you believe it
(even if you don't)
for the duration of the test.
And, if the test ends up lasting for the next 55 years,
then you can just say
WOW! or
SPLASH !
------------------------------------
here's the song for the day:
happiness runs in a circular motion
life is but a little boat upon the sea
everybody is a part of everything anyway
you can have it all if you just let yourself be
now sing aloud!!

SPERM WHALES and FIDDLEHEADS
A praying mantis visited me two evenings ago.
He/she was meditating on the front screen door,
just hanging around, as mantises are wont to do.
When you "really look" closely at an insect, or even another mammal,
you get the sense of being in the presence of an incredibly
ALIEN
CREATURE
!!!!!
*Really* look at a praying mantis or your friendly local pussycat today
with the scales having fallen from your eyes.....

MODERN DAY LISTENING
every morning is a different morning
i hate to sound corny, but it's true
look into the dewdrop with your reflection embedded in its ambience
and then your proper resonance will be sensed from some place very close
nearby!
The VESSELS are waiting with eagerness to be called forth!
If you don't know where you're standing, ask me. Rather, ask the Vessels!
They will assist....
BE AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF!
