OF YOUR ATTENTION WILL COME
WHEN YOU WILL START SEEING the truth..
Lead me from dreaming to waking. 
Lead me from opacity to clarity.
Lead me from the complicated to the simple. Lead me from the obscure to the obvious. 
Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am. 
Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left, 
Where there is peace, and peace -from the Upanishads- 
Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain..
...inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi! so listen to the mahayogi..,grasshopper from heaven....
In silence there must be movement, and in motion,
There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big one..
No movement is better than a small one..listen!
Silence is all the movement's mother..
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.
-- Wang Xiangzhai(November 26, 1885 - July 12, 1963}
The student asked: “A sage's response to changing conditions
is unlimited. Does he have to study beforehand?”
He should worry only about his mind's not being
clear, and not about the inability to respond to all changing conditions.”
— Wang Yang Ming (1472-1529)
*note* gotta love this guy ..Joel Goldsmith quote""The world is not in need of a new religion, nor is the world in need of a new philosophy: What the world needs is healing and regeneration. The world needs people who, through devotion to God, are so filled with the Spirit that they can be instruments through which healings take place, because healing is important to everybody." -- JOEL S. GOLDSMITH "
so couple more points about his life..from
http://joelgoldsmith.wwwhubs.com/
anyway..let me explain a bit the principle..
Is like this..as John C.Lilly explains...
"The center of the cyclone is that rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live eternally. Just outside of this Center is the rotating storm of one's own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity circular dance. As one leaves center, the roar of rotating wind deafens on more and more as one joins this dance. One's centered thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the center only, not outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the center. In the center of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma, of life, rising to join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of us."

The spirit is one,see?..is the same in all people,even in your fruitcakes grasshoppers from heaven overgrown eyeballs.(that's why you need glasses to read this text)
It has a mind factor,and an energy one..
But this KNOWING of Joel was not ordinary ..like hey..we are all one..children of the mighty.
It is the other way ......WAY different...is even organic,you might say.
Is the total transformation of ATTENTION factors involved in the mighty 12 inch wisdom brain muscle.
See?
Goood..if you see..then I see you too..kiss to you,grasshoppers from heaven:)
The mahayogi loves you,and remember whatever you hate outside consciously ..you hate inside,but you don't know it...so whatever is projected inside yourself,you'll see in your real life...also whatever you love outside consciously..you love inside,but you don't know it...This is how this projection factor of creation itself works.. ok ?..so make your life a meditation ground ,please..but unless you discover the beauty of your inner being in solitary meditation...and ALSO have transmission of POWER of juicy bliss of your spirit within from advanced beings(like me,or others..I am not fussy..pick others if you don't like me..but as I remember I am the most powerful around,plus I am still alive..which is good for my ass,indeed..but soon I'll be dead and all you'll have left is this sorry blog of mine..)..I wish you luck in developing the understanding of these factors of creation... So don't be a hater,be a lover like me...the mighty one..loved in the 3 worlds,worshiped in 10..celebrated in the 19th one also by myself...

Although Joel was a master salesman and very successful for a number of years, a time came when his business became less and less, diminishing to the point of no return, even with all the spiritual help that he sought. Still at this time he had no thought of anything other than a business career. It was during that period that he contracted a very bad cold. What happened he tells in his own words:
"I was taken sick in the city of Detroit, went to a building that was filled with Christian Science practitioners, found the name of a practitioner on the board, went up to this man's office, and asked him to help me. He told me that it was Saturday and that he didn't take patients on Saturday. That day he always spent in meditation and prayer.
"To this I said, 'Of course you wouldn't turn me out looking the way I do,' and I really was looking bad.
'No, come on in.'
"And I went in, and he permitted me to stay there two hours with him. He talked to me of the Bible; he talked to me of Truth. Long before the two hours were up, I was healed of that cold, and when I went out on the street I found I couldn't smoke any more. When eating my dinner I found I couldn't drink any more. The following week I found I couldn't play cards any more, and I also found that I couldn't go to the horse races any more. And the businessman had died.
"Within thirty-six hours after my first spiritual experience, a woman buyer who was a customer of mine said that if I would pray for her she would be healed. The only prayer I knew at that moment was 'Now I lay me down to sleep,' and I didn't see that that was going to do much healing.
"But she insisted that if I would pray for her she would be healed and there was nothing for me to do but pray. So I closed my eyes, and I am happy to say that I have always been honest with God. I said, 'Father, You know that I don't know how to pray, and I certainly know nothing about healing. So if there is anything I should do, tell me.'
"And very, very clearly, as much so as if I were hearing a voice, I realized that man is not a healer. That satisfied me. That was the extent of my praying, but the woman had her healing, a healing of alcoholism.
"The next day a traveling salesman came in and said, 'Joel, I don't know what your religion is, but I do know that if you pray for me, I could get well.'
"What are you going to do about that? Argue? No. 'Let's close our eyes and pray.' And so I closed my eyes and said, 'Father, here's another customer!' But while my eyes were closed and nothing was happening, the salesman touched me and said, 'Wonderful, the pain is gone.'
"That was a daily experience. The only problem was that I had too few customers and too many patients. A transformation had taken place. Where had it taken place? It had taken place in my consciousness, not anywhere else, not outside. It was the same individual whose whole thought had been on business and pleasure. All of a sudden his whole thought was on God and healing, the same individual, only with a transformation such as took place in the experience of Moses, a realization of true identity, an experience that must have taken place in the minds of many others before and since.
"From this moment on there were two men. There was Joel, an individual always hovering around somewhere in the background, but showing tendencies which continuously led to many human mistakes, many human errors of judgment, many human discords, but fortunately only apparent to himself at intervals. On the other hand, there was the individual who on that day of revelation or regeneration was ordained within as a spiritual healer.
"From that day to this I have paid respect to the practitioner for having been responsible for the entire change in my life and for all that has happened to me in a spiritual way since then. . . . It is true that my thirteen years of work prepared me for such an experience, but his was the touch that brought about the transformation. It was he who changed my life, he who was accustomed to spend one whole day every week without taking a patient, without attempting to earn a dollar, without attempting to use spiritual power, one whole day a week in every week just to renew and fulfill himself with the Spirit. And look what that practice of spending a day like that did for me!

However...please read what he explains here..
http://michaelisaacs.net/pages/articles/goldstein_4.html
IMPERSONALIZING EVIL AND GOOD
In his 1959 Letters he says this:
never look upon anyone as a sinner or regard
any person as the source of any form of evil, such as greed, lust, mad
ambition, or some form of personal sense indulgence…
if we personalize error in any form, we
become the victim of it and are the blind leading the blind. That is why
it is incorrect practice to admonish a patient or student to be more
loving, to be more forgiving, or to be more grateful is personalizing
the error.
If we find that a patient is not loving,
kind, or gentle, that is, not spiritual, then let us relieve that
patient by realizing that these qualities are not personal. They are a
nothingness… it can not use a child of God as an avenue, as a channel,
or as an instrument. It has no presence, no power, and no law with which
to sustain its activities.
We do not deny non-loving actions and their discordant
results, but they were happening not due to the personal fault of the
individual. They were but claims, suggestions, hypnotism, mesmerism,
illusion, and error. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science
called this invisible entity the carnal mind.
You can see how even a small measure of understanding the
principle of impersonalising negative qualities can help us to love
others and ourselves and to forgive others and ourselves.
In the Bible, Jesus personified this principle when he said of
the lady caught in adultery, “Neither do I condemn thee, but sin no
more” and when he said of those that were about to crucify him,
“Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.”
But not only does Joel bring out the importance impersonalising
negative qualities and acts, but he goes further, and this may be
even harder to grasp: the impersonalization of good.
We can never take credit for being good,
just, benevolent, moral, honest, and faithful. Whatever such qualities
we possess are God-qualities and represent God expressing itself as our
individual qualities, characteristics and nature
How wonderful to give the first fruits to the God within and
not to ourselves! What joy to glorify the creator for all the good we
see in ourselves, others, and nature. This moves us into a state of
beholding and witnessing the good. We experience the love of God and
feel grateful.SPIRITUAL HEALING
A very high method of spiritual healing articulated by Joel is by the awareness of the healer of the infinite invisible Spirit of the recipient through spiritual discernment. It is to be able to realize the scriptural truth of “Judge not by appearances, but righteous judgment.” It is to be able to pierce through the veil of humanhood to discern the real man of God’s making.
From his book, “The Art of Spiritual Healing”:
Treatment is always the recognition of the
nothingness of the condition and deals only with God and the qualities
of God-God as infinite good, the infinite All, the infinite presence,
the infinite effect. Finally, the realization is achieved that God is
really all-in-all, and besides God there is none else, and by that time,
you have come to see that there is not such a thing as patient, because
there could not be a person, personality, or individuality apart from
God, nor could there be a condition or circumstance apart from God.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSJoel gives many in suggestions that are very practical in daily living to those on spiritual paths, whatever that path be.
As to problems and decisions, he suggests that often the best thing to do is not to solve the problem or make the decision at the level of the problem. Relax, and allow the infinite love-intelligence of the universe do the work.
CONCLUSION
I would like to close by pondering Joel’s statement about happiness that I quoted at the beginning in the context of love:
“Happiness or unhappiness, what does it matter! Happiness is of the Spirit”
Joel has a dim view of happiness because of its usual mode of searching for it in the material world.
Like the ancient yogi mystics, he saw that this framework for
happiness is not permanent. People either lose partially or wholly what
gave them happiness or fear that they will lose it. A person entering
into a marriage is joyous, but marriage can turn out to be a most
unhappy experience. A person who is rejected in a relationship is
unhappy, but then soon thereafter can meet someone who can completely
change unhappiness into joy. So, we see that both happiness and its
opposite are impermanent. As we so often hear and experience, “time
heals” and “this too will pass.”
Therefore, Joel says that the wise person should not be
overjoyed from human happiness nor be overly discouraged or depressed
from human unhappiness.
The mystic goes deeper to finding a place of inner peace, which
is a place beyond both dualities, a place of unconditional love. That
space in is infinite and eternal.
Joel said this about love, which when experienced, is the proscription for everlasting happiness:
All of God’s love is available to us, and in
the face of this fact it is strange and sad to contemplate how small is
man’s capacity to receive it.The reason is that we seek love from each
other, instead of from God...only as we release each other from the
bondage of duty, obligation, and debt, and realize that God alone is
love...does love flow freely to us and through us to others...to seek
supply, safety, and security at the expense of others is folly. But to
pray that all men everywhere, friend and foe alike, may know the
infinite abundance of God’s grace and the blessing of his presence...is
harmony, health, joy, and abundance
Joel’s main thrust of Joel was to follow truth principles to
open channels to experience God’s universal love. This love leads to
love of self, love of God (gratitude), love of others (compassion),
elimination of fear, and life eternal.
This means that human happiness and unhappiness become less
important preoccupations. The light of God realization, “my peace”,
gradually replaces the darkness of human ignorance. Then, abundance,
health, joy, and true love relationships follow.
I believe that the 12th century Sufi mystic Rumi was speaking
of this transcendent place of love of self, fellow man, and for God when
he wrote this verse:
“Out beyond the ideas of right and wrong doing, there is a field-I will meet you there”
Joel has left us with truth principles to help us move in the direction of the love experience and connection.
The path to achieve this is by understanding more the nature of
God; the identity of man; the relationship of man to God; practicing
the presence of God; meditation; impersonaliZing evil and good; and the
principles and practice of spiritual healing.

The Mystical I Joel S. Goldsmith Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and I will sup with him, and he with me. -Revelations 3.20 CHAPTER I I STAND AT THE DOOR "I stand at the door, and knock." Who is this I standing at the door?* And at what door is this I standing? At what door but the door of your consciousness? I stand at the door of your consciousness and knock, but you must open the door and admit Me, for "I am the bread of life.... I am the way, the truth, and the life.... I am the resurrection, and the life.... I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly." The I that is standing at the door of your consciousness and knocking is the I that has come that you might have the life more abundant. When you admit that I into your consciousness, you have admitted life eternal: the bread of life, the water of life, and the wine of life. You have admitted into your consciousness the power of resurrection: the resurrection of your body, your home, your marriage, your fortune, and your business. Only when you admit I into your consciousness, do you admit into yourself the secret of life. When you acknowledge that that I in the midst of you is mighty, you are not speaking of a man or of any person: you are speaking of the I, I. The material in this volume first appeared in the form of letters sent to students of The Infinite Way throughout the world as an aid to the revelation and unfoldment of the transcendental Consciousness through a deeper understanding of Scripture and the principles of The Infinite Way.-ED. *The word I, italicized, refers to God, as does the word Me. Close your eyes and within yourself, silently, sacredly, secretly, and gently say the word, "I, I." That I in the midst of you is mighty. That I in the midst of you is greater than any problem in the outside world. That I in the midst of you is come that you might have life and might have it more abundantly. That I has been with you since "before Abraham was," awaiting your recognition and your acknowledgment. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?" Know ye not that the name of God is I, or I AM, and that you are the temple of God only when you have admitted I into your consciousness and held It there secretly, sacredly, gently, peaceably, so that at any moment you can close your eyes and just remember I?* This I that is in the midst of me a life eternal. This I that is within me is the He that is mighty. Just as this unveiling of the truth of your true relationship with God and with all mankind has taken place in you, some day it will include all of human consciousness. God does not select a personal "you" or a personal "me" for his blessings. God's grace is unveiled that it may be shared by all mankind. True, it comes only into the consciousness prepared for it, but "two or three ... gathered together in my name" or "ten righteous men" can save a city. So, as consciousness is more and more open to this unveiling of truth, the entire world will be embraced in this same relationship that is now being experienced by students of The Infinite Way. His Spirit is upon me, and I am ordained to heal the sick, but not without His Spirit being upon me. I am ordained to heal the sick, not by virtue of any words that I know or thoughts that I think, but by virtue of His Spirit being upon me, and then the right words and the right thoughts will come through. At this stage of unfolding consciousness, you are responsible for every picture that presents itself to your sight or hearing. You may not "pass by on the other side" of the road. It is given to men living purely in the human world to ignore the troubles of their fellow men, especially if they are of a different land, a different religion, or a different race. It is not so given unto you. The Grace which you have received from God was given you, not for you: it was given as the fruitage of God which the world is to eat. "Take, eat; this is my body." You are a fruitful vine on which grapes grow: you are spiritually fed and spiritually clothed and spiritually housed. Give up your grapes; let your grapes go out into the market, into the world. You owe a debt to God and to the world, and the debt is that you do not pass by on the other side of the road, but take note of every discord and every inharmony and bring to bear the activity of the Christ. Be a transparency through which the Christ dissolves the appearance. You do not necessarily have to think anything, but you must be still. You must be still for an instant, and let His Spirit flow through you and dissolve the appearance. You may not pass by on the other side. You are at a state of spiritual unfoldment where you have already been told to leave your "nets"-not to go anywhere or do anything, but just not to be concerned about your "nets" in the face of appearances. Rather cease your fishing for a moment and be "fishers of men." And how? Just by recognition. It takes only a moment, the blink of an eye, to realize that in the presence of the Christ, temporal power is not power. It has only the "arm of flesh." You cannot serve God, whom you have not seen and do not know, except as you serve man, whom you do know. Your only way of serving God is in serving man. This is giving the first fruits unto God. The only way you have of neglecting your service to God is to neglect your service to man. It is good and right that out of your material resources you share something with those who have less or who have nothing. That is a minor but necessary part of your spiritual development, because we all must acknowledge that we have very little in the way of material resources to give in comparison to the needs of the world. You who walk in the Light have more to give individually than an entire nation has to give, for the nations can give only of material resources which are limited and finite, but you have living waters, you have spiritual meat, you have spiritual wine, spiritual bread. You have the word of Life; you have the Spirit of God incarnate in you. Above all, you have a moment of silence, so that in that silence the voice of God may thunder. This is the most precious gift in all the world. You have emptiness. You bring to God every day an empty barrel, an empty consciousness, praying: Fill me today with all Thou art. Fill me with Thy Soul, with Thy Spirit, with Thy grace that my presence on earth may glorify Thee, that my presence on earth may show forth Thy glory, "with the glory which I had with thee before the world was, " the original glory of divine sonship. You might ask yourself every once in a while, "Why was I born? To what purpose have I come to earth?" If you listen, you will hear the Voice say, ` I am come that ye might have life, that this world might have life." "Ye" is not just you. "Ye" is all human consciousness. I am come that human consciousness may be fulfilled with the Spirit of God, filled full of the Spirit of God. I am come that the kingdom of God may come on earth as it is in heaven. You are not only on earth, but you are of the earth until the moment comes in which you realize, "the Spirit of God dwells in me." You are the man of earth until the realization has come to you that as man or woman you are nothing-nothing, less than nothing. It is only as the Spirit of God touches your consciousness that you are awakened, enlivened. You are "the walking dead" until the Spirit of God touches you, that through you this Spirit may be allowed to flow to all mankind. The manner of it is to realize that in the face of every appearance, whenever a human being appears to you, you are to lift up the son of God in him and realize God incarnate in him. Whenever an appearance of sin, disease, death, lack, limitation, or disaster presents itself to you, you are instantly to remember that in the presence of God-realized, in the presence of the realized Christ, temporal power is not power. In heaven or on earth, there is no power greater than I AM. Then you will understand this relationship that has been kept secret from the world, the invisible bond that exists among all mystics. The visible and invisible mystics of the world who have recognized I standing at the door of their consciousness, are eternally united in consciousness, sharing with one another. I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it. -Revelation 3:8

(added by Danny)
To nourish the vital energy, keep watch in silence;
In order to subdue the mind, act with non-action.
Of movement and stillness, be aware of their origin;
There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.
The true and constant must respond to phenomena;
Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.
When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;
When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.
When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;
Within the pot, the trigrams of kǎn and lí are joined.
Yīn and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;
Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.
White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;
The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.
Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;
You wander so freely—who is able to know you?
Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;
Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.
It comes entirely from these twenty lines;
A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text -
