Farewell ...

Posted on Feb 4th, 2008 by Mirnas : εἰμί Mirnas
... to yesterday and to Zaads.

Thanks everyone for the great articles and honest interactions.

"Gaia" does not feel right and the endless advertisements do not point to the dimension of our true self, a community or the divine. 

The beauty of the life in the here and the needs of the community that I serve in the now are more my context now than the bitspace ;-)

I might still read the odd article but have shifted my blog to http://mirnas.org.

Peace and stillness to you all,

Mirnas

What have you been thinking about recently?

Posted on Feb 1st, 2008 by Mirnas : εἰμί Mirnas
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for February 01, 2008:

Thinking?


Who / What

is

thinking?


Who / What

am

I?


And that humble and joyous knowledge that thought cannot lead us to the immensity and the nothingness that we are.

Peace and Stillness,

What do you wish you'd learned earlier?

That there is no time.

-------

I am now the rain cloud
That shed the water that makes the body
And I am the dust that it will turn to.

I am now the intense emotion of enjoying life
Here on the beautiful South Island of New Zealand
And I am the stillness that was before the planet formed.

I am now the thinking person
That types these words
And I am the depth behind all expressions.

I am now the perception
In the local field
And the silent awareness of all that ever is.

As we step from the individual to the all
As we step from the moment to eternity
We shed ourself
And find what we really are.

Peace and Stillness,
Mirnas

What do you wish?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 18, 2008:

Nothing. Wishes preclude acceptance and introduce the duality of "should". And immediatly we are back in the circle game ;-)

Consciously and deeply treasure the adventure of the current and eternal moment.
Then let the response arise out of the stillness of what is - not out of wishfull thinking.

Peace and  stillness,

Mirnas

What are you addicted to?

Posted on Jan 14th, 2008 by Mirnas : εἰμί Mirnas
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 14, 2008:

The here, the here - as space keeps me in its grip.

The now, the now - as this timeless moment touches eternity.

The form and the emptiness, the beauty and the stillness

The revelations of the mundane and the influx of the divine.

The One Life - that always was, is, and forever will be.

The One Life - in the here and the nowhere.

What are your plans for the New Year?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 20, 2007:

Never to project something into the future? 
Accept what comes. Accept what goes. Be aware of what remains. 
So, no different from today ;-)
But if the actual day turns out fine, it is always nice to go to a beach.

Here is a compilation of Auckland's west coast beaches that youtube has:
Auckland Beaches and Sunsets

Peace and stillness,

Do you think it's more important to be compassionate or fair?

Posted on Dec 14th, 2007 by Mirnas : εἰμί Mirnas
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 14, 2007:

It is important to be neither.
As long as you judge you build on the house of ego.

And if we meet on the field of truth
it is well possible to be compassionate and fair.
Mind you, it could be that the fairness there,
looks less like the human one, and more like grace.

Peace and stillness,
Mirnas

Do you believe in God?

Posted on Dec 13th, 2007 by Mirnas : εἰμί Mirnas
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 28, 2007:

No. 
But I know God is -
and in truth is all that is.

If you look at God as bearded, old white man,
Or as interplay of emptiness and form,
is not important - that is just human knowledge.
But to truly touch the mystery that is God
You have to surrender ....
Fully.

And after you let the dead bury their dead.
And after you are gone, gone, gone beyond.
You are more able to love, more able to give...
Than any human individual would be able to.

And those actions are more than all the words ever written
More than all thoughts ever thought.

And there is a final cross check for the path:
You can tell by the fruits of your actions.
If they are full of love, you got it right.
If you judge somebody wrong, it is you who got it wrong.

Emptiness first, then the beauty that life so splendidly displays in myriads of forms.

What's the longest relationship you've been in?

Posted on Nov 23rd, 2007 by Mirnas : εἰμί Mirnas
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 23, 2007:

For a some 30+ years, there was this relationship with a false self. 

Based on ego, based on a self
Blind to that authenticity
That is bigger than each individual.
Smaller than an atom.
And all that is.

Peace and stillness,

Mirnas
