St. John of the Cross

"I simply followed (my teacher´s) instruction which was to focus the
mind on pure being ´I am´, and stay in it. I used to sit for hours
together, with nothing but the ´I am´ in my mind and soon peace and
joy and a deep all-embracing love became my normal state. In it, all
disappeared -- myself, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around
me. Only peace remained and unfathomable silence.
"

Nisargadatta

Hast never come to thee an hour,
A sudden gleam divine, precipitating, bursting all these bubbles, fashions, wealth?
These eager business aims—books, politics, art, amours,
To utter nothingness?

Walt Whitman, 1900

Who wants to quest for nothingness. That is death. I quest for life and truth.

Energy never dies it just changes its form, at death all we do is become energy until we enter a new form again.

"At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will."


Thomas Merton (Trappist Monk)

God is my goal...the Supreme Being.

"Selfhood, I am"

"What is this passion for nonbeing, this denial of sensual life that drives so many gurus and self-proclaimed prophets? They speak out against desire while propelled by the overwhelming desire to lose themselves. They luxuriate in a kind of cosmic masturbation, titillating their psychic organisms into pitches of mindless excitement, cavorting in orgasms of self surrender. They bask in a sort of universal steam bath that drives all impurities of individuality and creativity from their souls, leaving them immersed supposedly forever, in a bliss beyond description; in which, indeed their very experience
disappears.

"Thank God that some god managed to disentangle itself from such psychic oneness, if that´s what it´s supposed to be. Thank God that some god loved itself enough to diversify, to create itself in a million different forms; to multiply, to explode its being inward and outward. Thank God that some god loved its own individuality enough to endow the least and the most, the greatest and the smallest, with its own unique being.

"The gurus say, ´Give it all up.´ One of those we read about today counsels: ´When you want to do one thing, do another instead. Do not do what you want to do, but what you should do.´ Never trust the self that you are, the gurus say, but the self that you should be. And that self is supposed to be dead to desire, beyond wanting or caring; yet paradoxically, this nonfeeling leads to bliss. The gurus say that All That Is is within you, yet tell you not to trust yourself.
If All That Is didn´t want appearances,
we wouldn´t experience any! Yet appearances, the gurus say, are untruths, changing and therefore false. "Is my body an appearance, hence an untruth amid the truth which is changeless? Ah dear body, then, how lovely and blessed your untruth, which is sensate and feels desire through the hollowest of bones. How blessed, bodies, leaping alive from the microscopic molecules that combine to walk down the autumn streets; assemble to form sweet senses´ discrimination that perceives, for a time, the precise joy and unity of even one passing afternoon. The body´s untruth, then is more holier than all truths, and if the body is an untruth then I hereby proclaim untruth, and truth and all the gurus´ truths as lies.

"God knows itself through the flesh. God may know itself through a million or a thousand million other worlds, as so may I--but because this world ´is´, and becauseI am alive in it, it is more than appearance, more than a shackle to be thrown aside. It is a privilege to be here, to look out with this unique focus, with these individual eyes; not to be blinded by cosmic vision,
but to see this corner of reality which I form through the miraculous connections of soul and flesh.

"Cherish the gifts of the gods. Don´t be so anxious to throw your individuality back into their faces, saying, ´I´m sick to death of myself and of my individuality; it burdens me.´ Even one squirrel´s consciousness, suddenly thown into the body of another of its kind, would feel a sense of loss, encounter a strangeness, and know in the sacredness of it´s being that something was wrong. Wear your individuality proudly. It is the badge of your godhood. You are a god living a life---being, desiring, creating. Through honoring yourself, you honor whatever it is God is, and become a conscious co-creater."
