Noverim -Te

noverim te, noverim me: “I would know you [God], I would know myself.” —St. Augustine

“Meditate within eternity. Don’t stay in the mind. Your thoughts are like a child fretting near its mother’s breast, restless and afraid, who with a little guidance, can find the path of courage.”

— Lalla (via awakeinthedream)

[metacogmission]

“The world is but the surface of the mind and the mind is infinite. What we call thoughts are just ripples in the mind. When the mind is quiet it reflects reality. When it is motionless through and through, it dissolves and only reality remains.This reality is so concrete, so actual, so much more tangible than mind and matter, that compared to it even diamond is soft like butter.”

— Nisargadatta

[mountain-sage]

When you rest naturally, nakedly, in the boundless state of awareness, all those speedy, pestering thoughts... lose their power.

They disappear in the spacious, cloudless sky of awareness.

They shatter, collapse, vanish.

All their strength is lost in awareness.

- Dudjom Rinpoche

"At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will. This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is the pure glory of God in us. It is so to speak His name written in us, as our poverty, as our indigence, as our dependence, as our sonship. It is like a pure diamond, blazing with the invisible light of heaven. It is in everybody, and if we could see it we would see these billions of points of light coming together in the face and blaze of a sun that would make all the darkness and cruelty of life vanish completely. . . . I have no program for this seeing. It is only given. But the gate of heaven is everywhere." -Thomas Merton

A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.

― Nisargadatta Maharaj

[noverim-te]

In the great mirror of consciousness, images arise and disappear and only memory gives them continuity. And memory is material -destructible, perishable, transient. On such flimsy foundations we build a sense of personal existence - vague, intermittent, dreamlike. This vague persuasion, “I am so-and-so,” obscures the changeless state of pure awareness and makes us believe that we are born to suffer and to die.

― Nisargadatta Maharaj

When by the flood of your tears

the inner and the outer have fused into one,

you will find Her whom you

sought with such anguish,

nearer than the nearest,

the very breath of life,

the very core of every heart.

Frederick Septimus Kelly (1881-1916) - It is not dawn till you awake

Tenor - Andrew Goodwin

Piano - Alan Hicks

[noverim-te]

It is not dawn till you awake And shew your radiant eyes: It is not day, though day may break, Till sunlike you arise.

In vain the lark shall pierce the sky To find the heav'n of blue. There is no blue but in your eye, There is no heav'n but you.

It is not dusk while yet you keep Those eyelids open wide: It is not night till you're asleep, Then sleeps all else beside.

Save one dim distant unloved star That sighs the lightlong through, There is no light where you are far, There is no love but you!

[noverim-te]

Always the solution is to go to the source—Spirit—and realise it is only the mind that has unknowingly accepted the collective belief in good versus bad, and that that is the cause of the appearing problem. The solution? Still the mind and let Spirit permeate individual consciousness. Let Spirit dissolve the erroneous “filters” of belief to reveal the omnipresent harmony, joy and fulfilment that Is.

—Paul F. Gorman, 'The Miracle Self'

to fall in love with God is to be the fish that falls in love with water; the bird that falls in love with air; the tree that falls in love with earth

He knows what is best and when and how to do it.

Leave everything entirely to Him.

[mountain-sage]

God is everywhere, He pervades everything.

He, whom you think you have sought in vain for so many years, is not apart from you. Just as a man cannot be without bones, blood, flesh and skin, so the One is present everywhere, at all times, interwoven with everything that exists.

God is one's very own Self, the breath of one's breath, the life of one's life, the Atma. Not until his true Self has been revealed to him may a seeker ever relax his search.

By seeking, one will find the Self is within one's own grasp. To feel fatigued, exhausted, because one has not found Him is a very good sign indeed.

It indicates that one is nearing the purification of one's heart and mind.
