"Here we are, benevolent rooted space wearing a remarkably sensitive instrument called the body. Most sages report the body mind insists on being included and permeated by presence, so it too, can know and live its naturalness. The body is the five elements, already free with no history, though it has born witness to all. As compassion we will be instantly aware of any suffering and answer its call, as stillness we will be aware of remaining restlessness. To be with what is in the moment, this is our function and is at the heart of all longing. Join with your fellow sages in satsang, sharing what you are noticing is an act of love." - Pamela -
Pamela WilsonStop being so easily transfixed by the continual lies of a mind, truly non-existent outside of the very words and language which contain it!
John Grenafege"“Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, with the meditative quality within, with the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love. This love is not addressed to a specific person; it is a presence and quality that surrounds a person like a fragrance.”

Swami Dhyan GitenAwakening has nothing to do with anything that happens. It is timeless. No one is enlightened as enlightenment is the dissolution of the person or ego-identification.
Swami Atmananda UdasinHERE, not knowable as all encompassing, naked life-force is dancing as you. You are dance, energy and the unfathomable, silent primal ground.
BerndHere moment to moment. Feeling the flow of life and moving as it. Trusting, not knowing, no names, no ideas, just life. Nothing as a stage to something else. Just here now and constantly surprised.
BokBeing enlightened ironically means realizing that there is no separate entity that can be enlightened or unenlightened. Enlightenment is the experience of no experience. At that moment, everything is dropped—body, mind, all states, all things—everything.
Enza VitaAwakening is an incident, what happens by itself. No one can do it. The only thing to be done is to be always available for. To be available means to be aware. Experience of Self happens when there are no leaves on the tree. It happens when there are no clouds in the sky. It happens when there is no 'I'.
Once liberation appears, happiness appears.
Once happiness appears, silence appears.
Once silence appears, love appears.
Once love appears, Self appears.
Once Self appears, God appears.
AjiitThe experience has to pass… give yourself up to what you ARE.
Ananta KrantiAs time goes on, understanding about the incredible depths of how Oneness is really everything deepens. It is the confusion, it is the murderer, it is the sublime beauty of a rainbow, it is all imagination, and it is stillness, pure reality where everything arises, out of. It is the pain body, and the resolution within.
