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!
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}What is referred to as mindlessness is absence of the human mentality; what is referred to as mindfulness is mindfulness of the Tao. When one is free of the human mentality, the mutual sensing of the earthly and celestial is swift; when one is mindful of the Tao, effective practice endures. Swiftness of sensing comes about spontaneously, without cultivation, without striving; long perseverance comes about through effort, and involves action and striving. Striving and non-striving each has its secret; the distinction is all a matter of the absence of the human mentality and the presence of mindfulness of the Tao. After one has reached complete realization of the universal Tao, neither existence nor nonexistence remain; others and self are ultimately empty, and one enters the state of ultimate truthfulness, like a spirit. Here, it is not only the human mentality that cannot be applied; even the mindfulness of Tao is not applicable." - Liu I-ming
The Conduct of the Moon and Clouds
The consistent conduct of people of the Way is like the flowing clouds with no grasping mind, like the full moon reflecting universally, not confined anywhere, glistening within each of the ten thousand forms.
Dignified and upright, emerge and make contact with the variety of phenomena, unstained and unconfused. Function the same toward all others since all have the same substance as you. Language cannot transmit this, speculation cannot reach it. Leaping beyond the infinite and cutting off the dependent, be obliging without looking for merit.
This marvel cannot be measured with consciousness or emotion. On the journey accept your function, in your house please sustain it. Comprehending birth and death, leaving causes and conditions, genuinely realize that from the outset your spirit is not halted. So we have been told that the mind that embraces all the ten directions does not stop anywhere.
-- Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157)

me to the place I never left, 
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.

On the Mind of a Sage *JESSUS DIED,,,MUHAMMAD DIED..BUDDHA DIED..AND I AIN'T
FEELING GOOD EITHER!!

The student asked: “A sage's response to changing conditions
is unlimited. Does he have to study beforehand?”
The Sage replied: “How can he study everything? The mind of the sage
is like a clear mirror. Since it is all clarity, it responds to all stimuli as
they come and reflects everything. There is no such case as a previous
image still remaining in the present reflection or a yet-to-be-reflected
image already existing there. Scholars of later generations propagate
such a doctrine, and therefore they have greatly violated the teachings
of the Sage. Duke Chou instituted ceremonies and established musical
systems to provide the world with a culture. These are things that all
sages are capable of doing. Why didn't Yao and Shun do all of them
instead of leaving them to Duke Chou? Confucius edited and transmitted
the Six Classics as guidance for ten thousand generations. This is also a
thing that any sage can do. Why didn't Duke Chou do it instead of leaving
it for Confucius? From these we know that a sage does a thing when the time
comes. The only fear is that the mirror is not clear, not that it is incapable
of reflecting a thing as it comes. The study of changing conditions and events
is to be done at the time of response. However, a student must be engaged in
brightening up the mirror. He should worry only about his mind's not being
clear, and not about the inability to respond to all changing conditions.”

enough..but be aware that the true and constant WILL respond..since it
created it..well..at least I created a blog..didn't I?
kiss:)

— Wang Yang Ming (1472-1529),
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 heaven and earth 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

To us all towns are one, all men our
kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill. Man's pains and
pains' relief are from within. Thus have we seen in visions of the wise

"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.
Here we find that we have created Them who are Us." -- John C. Lilly -
