The State Of Fascination...

 

Jaacov Agam

The state of Fascination 

is very problematic and attractive to us.  

We see other people 

become fascinated with emotional states. 

We see the intellect 

become fascinated with words and concepts. 

We see the moving center 

fascinated and lost in movement. 

We see people 

fascinated with their own conversation 

to the extent that they are only really interested 

in the sound of their own voice.  

We see people become unwilling 

to learn or to take in new information - 

only fascinated by the elimination of their own I’s.

It's Very Easy...

 

Edward Robert Hughes

It's very easy 

to see how someone else 

is in imagination & fascination. 

A practice I've been using is to say to myself: 

"so that's how it looks". 

Then I'm not in judgement - 

but turns it into understanding. 

AND I've noticed 

that when a part of me is in imagination & fascination, 

another part of me (the higher) 

is witnessing this. 

Also a bit uncomfortable

as the soul/higher 

wants to emerge but is having difficulty.

Awakening...

Awakening is not changing who you are, 

but discarding who you are not.

Unity Is The Destination...

 

Unity is the destination. 

I yearn to not squander the opportunity, 

yet so is my work.

"The ones that went before us 

walked through all the opposites 

and merged into unity".

We come from great ones 

showing us the way. 

Unity is the basis of the 3 Abrahamic faiths, 

yet I never got that understanding. 

The work points out what I have been missing. 

The purpose of our being here. 

Unity e.g. transformation.

Meher Baba Suggests ...

 Meher Baba suggests 

to look at the Sky or the Ocean 

during prayer and Meditations, 

to perhaps taste “Unity” with the Beloved. 

I also remember Mervyn saying 

that Unity was above Love. 

There are no opposites any more, 

just a beautiful Union. 

We are part of the work of a great Harmony 

and I deeply feel that each of us 

is a part of the fabric pointing 

towards this goal. 

It is the hope and faith 

held in the Dark beyond all opposites. 

It is pure inspiration and the seamless wonder 

of “Just wanting to Give” from within, 

with no reward. 

As St John says, 

In the Dark Night of The Soul 

“bright flows the River of God”.
