This is not a literary gambit, a witticism designed to arouse interest at any cost. I mean it in all seriousness: I have no head.</p> <p>It was eighteen years ago, when I was thirty-three, that I made the discovery. Though it certainly came out of the blue, it did so in response to an urgent enquiry; I had for several months been absorbed in the question: what am I? The fact that I happened to be walking in the Himalayas at the time probably had little to do with it; though in that country unusual states of mind are said to come more easily. However that may be, a very still clear day, and a view from the ridge where I stood, over misty blue valleys to the highest mountain range in the world, with Kangchenjunga and Everest unprominent among its snow-peaks, made a setting worthy of the grandest vision.</p> <p>What actually happened was something absurdly simple and unspectacular: I stopped thinking. A peculiar quiet, an odd kind of alert limpness or numbness, came over me. Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down. For once, words really failed me. Past and future dropped away. I forgot who and what I was, my name, manhood, animalhood, all that could be called mine. It was as if I had been born that instant, brand new, mindless, innocent of all memories. There existed only the Now, that present moment and what was clearly given in it. To look was enough. And what I found was khaki trouserlegs terminating downwards in a pair of brown shoes, khaki sleeves terminating sideways in a pair of pink hands, and a khaki shirtfront terminating upwards in—absolutely nothing whatever! Certainly not in a head.</p> <p>It took me no time at all to notice that this nothing, this hole where a head should have been was no ordinary vacancy, no mere nothing. On the contrary, it was very much occupied. It was a vast emptiness vastly filled, a nothing that found room for everything—room for grass, trees, shadowy distant hills, and far above them snowpeaks like a row of angular clouds riding the blue sky. I had lost a head and gained a world.</p> <p>It was all, quite literally, breathtaking. I seemed to stop breathing altogether, absorbed in the Given. Here it was, this superb scene, brightly shining in the clear air, alone and unsupported, mysteriously suspended in the void, and (and this was the real miracle, the wonder and delight) utterly free of "me", unstained by any observer. Its total presence was my total absence, body and soul. Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.</p> <p>Yet in spite of the magical and uncanny quality of this vision, it was no dream, no esoteric revelation. Quite the reverse: it felt like a sudden waking from the sleep of ordinary life, an end to dreaming. It was self-luminous reality for once swept clean of all obscuring mind. It was the revelation, at long last, of the perfectly obvious. It was a lucid moment in a confused life-history. It was a ceasing to ignore something which (since early childhood at any rate) I had always been too busy or too clever to see. It was naked, uncritical attention to what had all along been staring me in the face - my utter facelessness. In short, it was all perfectly simple and plain and straightforward, beyond argument, thought, and words. There arose no questions, no reference beyond the experience itself, but only peace and a quiet joy, and the sensation of having dropped an intolerable burden.</p> <p>Douglas E. Harding</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/pointing_home/2484809" title="pointing-home"><img src="http://data5.blog.de/media/809/2484809_ce4cff2a93_m.jpg" alt="pointing-home" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p>Douglas E.

I was feeling the necessity to go deeper in this technique I stopped a few years ago... I had just finished my first mandala, re-discovering the mysteries of geometry and symmetry, the precision of drawing that I was not used to practice... </p> <p>That day, I was walking down the big stairs of the garden and noticed, on the right, in the midst of green plants, a big spider in the middle of its web... I threw on it a furtive eye, a bit surprised nonetheless, to see it there, motionless during the day, as usually I can only see uninhabited ones, the spiders probably hiding in any close and discreet spot... The fact remains that the following days, every time I was walking up or down this stair, my vision was attracted by the web... and the spider was inevitably there, well installed in the very centre of its delicate creation... I stopped to watch it a while and noticed that there were several other small ones in the area, all of them with spiders in the middle ! Really, there was something to understand... I was finding its motionless behaviour intriguing though of course I knew it was a natural process and even started to annoy me a little bit... how was it possible to stay so long without any movement ?... I moved my hand over it, I even breathed on it to see whether it would move... be frightened... but no... not even the movement of a leg haha... and I knew how attentive it was, vigilant, ready to throw itself on the insect that would be captured for her feeding...</p> <p>Over the days, I was becoming admiring I must reckon… that looked so strange, so much related to the geometrical mandalas… the spider was showing me the patience, its attentiveness perfectly centered, it was clear… it was showing me the natural geometry of its web, that is nothing else than itself, as it has been made with its own substance.. the spider was the very mandala included in the larger mandala of its web… a movement of one thread of its creation might vibrate on the whole web… Likewise, we are mandala in the huge mandala of nature whose nature is Space... Void...</p> <p>I could also observe the way it tiredlessly repaired, restructured or recreated its web, often damaged by the wind or a big insect or everything else, and that was conforting me… who was feeling a bit damaged by life too sometimes… Yes we always have the possibility to recreate ourselves… or rather to create ourselves for the first time… by the center… with perseverance… </p> <p>It was confirmed a few days later that I got well the message by the discovery in the morning of an enchanted scene of webs all around my balcony, some small or big ones, some perfect ones or a bit damaged, some enriched with the mist of the night, were sparkling in the sunlight… all spiders were hidden after the creation of their embroidery festival ! </p> <p>I thought that the teaching has probably finished as I planned to leave for the south of France… I had never noticed some webs in the south, don’t know why… Yet, I saw a last one before on the way to the south, while I was opening the gate of a friend’s garden… between two bars of the gate, as if hanging in the space… was a wonder… a perfectly shaped web, beaded with dozens of dewdrops illuminated by the light, reflecting the surrounding colors in their spherical mirror… one could forget the thin web that supported them beneath... </p> <p>I will probably see lots of other webs at the season of spiders, but never with the same vision… a vision blended in the universal mandala, at the circular nature of life… thanks the spider… <img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Hugs to you all <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>NOUVEAU !

So they decided to put their small holiday house on sale, and we were just enough to be 3 for dealing with real estates and all the necessary formalities... So I just let you imagine our departure with the Ford Fiesta, 3 persons, 2 dogs (mine and theirs), a canary (theirs), and all the suitcases for 2 months hahaha...we just had to check when we opened a door that we didn't lose anything...<br> I was wondering before leaving, whether it will be a painful "goodbye" journey as I had so many good memories spent in this house from the age of 14... I was wondering also whether I will be easy to live all together with parents so long time, as I am used to independence and different lifestyle, ideas... I was also just wondering whether I would be able to drive so far, without any help... (it is about 1200 kms from Brittany but fortunately we cut the journey half, having cousins in Pays Basque, south west)... anyway lots of questions running in my mind...<br> Fortunately, as often in my life, all that was appearing difficult turned out to be good and enlightening... I explain you shortly...</p> <p>-First, living together with my parents as long time ago, made me understand them better and I could be aware of their changes... although I live here in Brittany very close to them (I live at the top floor of family house but separate, it's very different to fully share the same living space)...and sometimes they said also that I had changed (not sure it is in the way they'd like haha)... so we all realized that we had changed a lot haha and had to cope with that and it was an interesting challenge, a mix of understanding, kindness and firmness... and patience too... anyway we managed... and I have been very happy to help them the way I could, as they have been always so kind with me, always encouraging me in the way I wanted for my life...</p> <p>-It was also the opportunity to re-discover the region all around as I couldn't go on holidays there for years (problems with husband if you see what I mean)... But now that I am on my own, I could really go for long walks in the midst of nature, and surprisingly, it was a bit like I saw it with new eyes... there are so many beautiful forests all around and the sun was present quite every day... I could contemplate as long as I wanted nearby hills, trees, animals, even some strange insects coming close to me when I was outside reading or else... I was actually needing that close contact with wild nature... and never had a feeling of sadness, knowing that the house will be sold soon, as if this region is engraved in my heart forever...</p> <p>-And a great surprise arrived overthere and still wondering why it happened there...

We cannot look the enemy eye to eye; we can look only in the eyes of our beloved.

It was a handyman looking for some work... some repairing to do...</p> <p>-“Yes’, answered the brother, ‘I have some work for you. You see, at the other side of the stream is living my younger brother. Some weeks ago, he seriously offended me and our relationship is broken. I am going to show him that I can take my revenge. Can you see these stones near my home ? I'd like you to build a two-meter-high wall, so I cannot see him any longer.”</p> <p>The man replied : "I guess I understand the situation".</p> <p>The brother helped the visitor to gather all his work equipment. Then he left for a journey, leaving him alone for a whole week.</p> <p>When he came back from town, the handyman had finished the work already. But what a surprise ! Louis was totally upset. Instead of the two-meter-high wall, there was a beautiful bridge standing...</p> <p>Precisely at the same time, the younger brother came out of his house and ran towards Louis, exclaiming: "you are so great, Brother !"

It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is.</p> <p> ***</p> <p>Being is not only beyond but also deep within every form as its innermost invisible and indestructible essence. This means that it is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature. But don't seek to grasp it with your mind. Don't try to understand it. You can know it only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally. To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of "feeling-realization" is enlightenment. </p> <p> ***</p> <p>When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.<br> Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.</p> <p> ***</p> <p>When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step. Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.<br> Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn't to be found anywhere. There is only the metamorphosis of life forms. What can you learn from this?<br> Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1086538" title="butter3WHT"><img src="http://data2.blog.de/media/538/1086538_3cc165c1aa_s.gif" alt="butter3WHT" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://insight-of-a-rose.blog.co.uk/2007/01/09/thoughts_about_time_and_the_now~1533640/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:insight-of-a-rose.blog.co.uk,2007-01-07:/2007/01/07/some_snaps_from_dinan~1527078/roselyne192007-01-07T22:43:08+01:002007-01-07T22:43:08+01:00 <p>A red-small-balls tree suiting with seasons decorations...</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1083815" title="Dinan-dec"><img src="http://data2.blog.de/media/815/1083815_012fcfb847_m.jpg" alt="Dinan-dec" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p>Still a few days<br> Fleeting<br> And the town will find again<br> Its usual face<br> Celebrations passed<br> Resolutions done<br> And nothing has changed<br> Deeply<br> We are still who we are<br> In essence<br> Now and Here...</p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1083816" title="Dinan-dec2"><img src="http://data2.blog.de/media/816/1083816_bba70b6e77_m.jpg" alt="Dinan-dec2" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/media/media_item.php?item_ID=1083818" title="Dinan-dec3"><img src="http://data2.blog.de/media/818/1083818_8874ef5d3c_m.jpg" alt="Dinan-dec3" vspace="5" hspace="5"></a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://insight-of-a-rose.blog.co.uk/2007/01/07/some_snaps_from_dinan~1527078/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
