Uradiance: Non Credo

2/05/2012

Non Credo

I don't have to believe in breathing for breath to breathe. I don't have to believe in my heart to have a heartbeat. I don't have to believe that I Am in order to be. Gently let go of belief, and this moment sparkles just as it is.

Belief is a story about the past, projected into a myth about the future. When belief disappears, past and future vanish too. Belief no longer blinds me to your presence. I see you.

The Gift of Tears

"The fruit inside you ripens only with the shedding of tears. When you reach the place of tears, then know that your spirit has come out from the prison of the old world and has set foot upon the path to the new age. As your spirit begins to breathe the wondrous air of that place, you shed tears. The birth of the spiritual child is at hand, and the travail of childbirth becomes intense. Grace, the mother of us all, gives mystical birth to the soul, God's image. When the time for this birth arrives, the intellect senses the other world as a faint perfume, or as the life-breath a newborn child receives into its body. Hardly able to endure it, our flesh is overcome by a weeping mingled with joy." ~St. Isaac the Syrian, 7th C.

"First realize your world is only a reflection of yourself and then stop finding fault with the reflection." ~Nisargadatta Mahraj

' "Ask anything," My lord said to me. My mind and heart thought deeply for a moment, then replied with just one word, "When?" God’s arms then opened up and I entered Myself. I entered Myself when I entered Christ. And having learned compassion, I allowed my soul to stay. ' ~St. Thomas Aquinas

"Perhaps love is my gently leading you back to yourself."
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." ~Steve Jobs.

Celebrate the birth of divine love in the human heart. All holidays, all rituals, are just re-enactments of love's breath.

"Silence vibrating is Creation. Silence flowing is Love. Silence shared is Friendship. Silence seen is Infinity. Silence heard is Adoration. Silence expressed is Beauty. Silence maintained is Strength. Silence omitted is Suffering. Silence allowed is Rest. Silence recorded is Scripture. Silence preserved is the Guru's Lineage. Silence given is Initiation. Silence received is Joy. Silence alone is." (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi)

"Silence is the communion of a conscious soul with itself. If the soul attend for a moment to its own infinity, then and there is silence." (Thoreau)

"A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind.

"See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.” (Mother Teresa)

Mantra: Science of Sound

"Ananda, reverse your outward perception of hearing & listen inwardly for the intrinsic sound of your own Mind Essence.

"In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All creation was created through the Word." (Gospel of John)

"The mind gets absorbed in the Name and derives great peace and joy. Contact with the Name is contact with God, because Name and God are not different. Name is God and God is Name." ~Swami Ramdas

In the beginning, when God created the universe, what was God thinking? Maybe She wasn't thinking anything. She was just humming.

"One does not know the Self owing to the interference of thoughts. The Self is realised when thoughts subside." (Ramana Maharshi)

"No one can think of God. Therefore leave everything that you may think of & choose for your love the thing that you cannot think. For God may be taken and held by love, but not by thought. Take just a little word of one syllable, with only a blind beholding unto the naked being of God." (Cloud of Unknowing, 13th C.)

"Thinking is the biggest mistake a Dancer could make." (Michael Jackson)
