Mountain Contemplations...

(55 posts)

  1. Star

    Much like the sky,
    Without it's blue,
    The clouds appear,
    With much 'ado';
    But I remain,
    Ever the same,
    As my reflection, ever changes.

    With eyes of man,
    It's hard to see,
    For really nothing,
    Exists as 'me';
    Through my reflections,
    Truth can be known,
    Awarness wakens...ever home.

    I never move,
    I never change.
    It's only thought,
    That rearranges.
    I dance on my own energy...
    Come realize...and dance with me.

    The sun is not,
    Without it's light;
    And I am not,
    Without my night.
    Rays cannot be, without the sun;
    Thou I reflect...I'm ever one...

    A squirrel is climbing,
    Up it's tree;
    Oh realize,
    It's only me.
    As underneath, there is a creek;
    Tis water dancing...disquised as me.

    The rushing sound,
    Over the rocks,
    The wind that blows,
    The boat that docks;
    The joyous song, of ancient old,
    Is ever new...and is pure gold.

    Interconnected
    We'll ever be;
    My reflection,
    Is all you see...
    Prevading through, up and underneath,
    Is your True Nature...ever free.

    You will meet me,
    On the road,
    It's not by chance,
    Lighten my load.
    Whisper the secret, in someones ear,
    Live my truth, so all can hear.

    The beauty of a dying rose,
    Captures the heart
    Of all that know.
    To be reborn, a great strong tree,
    No less or more...tis always me.

    No one ever,
    Gives their life,
    Quiet impossible,
    For you to die,
    You'll live to dance another day,
    Awareness is...energies play.

    Morning will come,
    To light my skies,
    Spring brings life,
    To all that dies;
    Winters fire, will melt it's snow,
    The Summer sun, will make life grow.

    Changes of Autumn,
    Is my rainbow,
    Brilliance of Color,
    Waits to be known.
    All will awaken, to their own light;
    And on a birds winds, freedom takes flight.

    A Butterfly,
    Rests in cacoon;
    Just like a flower,
    Waiting to bloom;
    So beautiful, and free to be,
    It flies away, it's only me.

    My finger's pointing,
    To the moon,
    Heaven awaits you,
    To find your June;
    The Awe is there; in all that is;
    So realize...Eternal Bliss.

    Hiding away,
    Inside a cave,
    It waits to waken,
    Another day,
    Awareness is, forever free...
    Awaken now, and dance with me.

    Without my sleeping,
    What could awake?
    Nothing to give,
    Nothing to take.
    It's all for you, to understand;
    So dance the dream...and dance again.

    I Am Reflected...

    In every drop of rain that falls,
    I am reflected, in them all;
    In every speck of brilliant light,
    I am reflected, in my own night...
    I am reflected...

    I am the root of every tree,
    I am reflected, in every leaf;
    In every flower that blooms or dies,
    I am reflected, through your eyes...
    I am reflected...

    I am the kiss upon your lips,
    I am reflected, I am bliss;
    In every song that has been voiced,
    The sound is my reflections, way to rejoice...
    I am reflected...

    Dancing in my emptiness,
    I am reflected, I am what is;
    I am the gentle breeze that blows,
    But I am also, the eye of the storm...
    I am reflected...

    I am the war that rages so,
    Yet I am peace that's never torn;
    The ever unborn...
    I am reflected...

    While the world appears to sleep,
    I am reflected, in my dream;
    I only sleep to awaken,
    Remember my own voice,
    Recognize my own face,
    And once again rejoice,
    I am reflected...

    I am an artist with a paint brush,
    A singer with a song;
    A thought that births ideas,
    And wants to tag along...
    A moskeeto that just wants to drink,
    Some blood to stay alive,
    To be reborn as queen bee,
    Of its very own bee hive...
    I am reflected...

    Use your vessel wisely,
    No matter what it is;
    Life is to be lived,
    Breath is my own gift...
    I am reflected...

    If it is freedom that you want,
    You'll find it everywhere you look,
    Floating on a breeze...
    The truth of your existence,
    Dances on illusion,
    And whispers through the trees...
    I am reflected...

    Arrogant Fool...

    You wish to keep me secret;
    Yet I will rise above;
    My mystery's in the gentle breeze,
    Whispering pure love...

    Endless scripture rhetoric,
    Cannot my glory hide;
    Lamps are lighted from within,
    That is where I reside!

    You dictate off commandments;
    But my own nature's true,
    You rattle off in arrogance,
    Of things to or not do.
    You are just my puppet;
    When I wish to reflect fool...
    You awaken many that sleep,
    You are a valuable tool...

    You think that you can sell me,
    To satisfy desire,
    Everything you think to build,
    I destroy with fire...
    Lay up in store you arrogant fool;
    You don't really exist,
    I will reveal true nature,
    Beyond your illusory mist...

    While you are spinning concepts,
    I'm lacing them with truth,
    The ones I've chosen to open their eyes,
    Will easily see through you...
    You think you know so much,
    My ladybug's freer than you,
    Ego is just a tool truth uses,
    Sleep soundly arrogant fool...

    I can not awaken,
    Unless I'm sound asleep;
    So I'm the arrogant fool of a tool,
    That continues to go forth to seek...
    Look what's in your mirror,
    Tis all that ever will be,
    Ego is needed before I wake up
    To all that is ever and free...
    Including you...Arrogant Fool...

    hey YaS! yes, we continually find new gear and new mountains to climb...until it is realized that there are no mountains and no one to climb them...we let go of our picks and our ropes...with all attachments gone...we rest in our true nature.

    Cageless Cage...

    a bird in a cageless cage;
    whose heart has always sung,
    experiencing nothing's release,
    no end, no journey begun...
    only mind supposes,
    there is something there to heal,
    confuses it's pure vision,
    with all that is not real...
    it spins a cage with bars of nothing,
    labeled this or that,
    longs to be free,like it always will be,
    mind imagines it's own trap...
    little bird in your cageless cage,
    remember what you are,
    fly free little bird in your wide open space,
    dance on the light of your star...

    Beyond Space Held By Time...

    the bars that keep us in our cage,
    are limits made by mind...
    we bow down on our knees to pray,
    we've forgotten how to fly...
    who is it that we're praying to?
    and who appears to pray?
    should not our only mantra be,
    a life lived every day?
    take refuge in your own awareness,
    it's fruit will be revealed,
    when all the bars have vanished,
    truth flies freely and healed...
    the bars that keep us in our cage,
    exist only in mind...
    true nature never has been caged,
    tis beyond space held by time...

    Thigle Rainbows...

    not bound by limitations,
    free falling in clear, empty, space;
    fused with a wisdom that can't be described,
    i kiss Dharmakaya's face...
    each instant of primordial being,
    pure vision that dances so free,
    true nature reflecting in glorious form,
    thigle rainbows of energy...

    Your Own True Face...

    what are the imaginary bars of mind,
    but everything we believe?
    appearing to attach to what it's been taught,
    mind settles into it's sleep...
    active and fighting for this truth or that,
    it creates the bars of it's cage,
    imagining comfort inside it's own truth,
    when threatened mind fights back with rage...
    let go of those bars, wake up you are free,
    know there was never any cage...
    rest in primordial condition...
    recognize your own true face...

    Concept Cage...

    every bar that we create,
    is a concept never born,
    imaginary bars, imaginary cage,
    beliefs never really worn...
    religious bars that we label Ultimate,
    are ultimatly still, only bars...
    instead of breaking free of our cage,
    we ultimately only enlarge...
    i know lets change what we call it!
    then construct some bars around that!
    watch the magician closely...
    pull another rabbit out of his hat...
    in whatever condition or cage you find,
    your so-called suffering in,
    you created your concept cage,
    from imaginary beginning to end...

    The spiritual path is an uphill climb,
    How long is this path...
    There is no doubt, all the way

    Will you experience pain and suffering,
    how much must one endure...
    Every step that you must take

    pathless path...

    the pathless path is a journey nowhere,
    where too and whom would go?
    up or down, in, out, around,
    does not exist as so...
    pain and suffering is only mind,
    no one, no thing's endured...
    there is no one to take one step,
    disease of mind self-cured!
    more Maya for the mind,
    such claims to spiritual...
    don't look now, no one to look...
    emptiness is full...

    Resting In Rigpa's Grace...

    resting in such emptiness,
    filled with illuminous light;
    nothing to do, no one to do,
    the cycle of day and night.
    wisdom awareness, spontaneously there,
    consumingly pervading...such bliss,
    vast openess, no limits, clear empty space,
    equanimity dances as is...
    rest in the limitless primordial condition,
    true nature recognize your true face,
    relax in the self-perfecting way,
    resting in Rigpa's grace...

    Awareness Contemplate...
    cutting through illusion,
    like soft butter and the knife,
    awake to every instant,
    your path your very life,
    letting go of grasping,
    attachments never there,
    the fruit your true condition,
    self-perfection in thin air,
    use me oh awareness,
    however that you choose,
    i do not exist as such,
    nothing to win or lose,
    awaken deep within me,
    my own primordial state,
    let it ever be in truth,
    Awareness contemplate...

    Beyond The Streets Of Gold...

    Beyond the streets of gold,
    Is empty, spacious peace,
    Redemption waits so patiently,
    For destracting chaos to cease...
    This place beyond all that appears,
    Is not a place as such,
    It is closer than you know,
    To taste, to hear, to touch...
    Awaiting in the stillness,
    Pervading all that is,
    It cannot be defined per say,
    Not even the limit of bliss...
    Oh Recognize true nature,
    Underneath your bodhi tree,
    Be a Buddha; Be a Christ;
    For you are ever free...

    Your Kingdom...

    A prince who's forgotten their kingdom,
    Is no more or less still a prince;
    Roaming outside of the castle walls,
    Hunger and thirst makes no sense.
    Tricked by appearances, candy for the eye,
    Emotional satisfaction blinds the heart,
    Attaching and grasping a Maya not real,
    Ends in the place it did start.
    Wake up dear sweet prince! Wake up from your dream!
    Remember, and know once again...
    Recognize the crown, that has always been yours,
    Your kingdom awaits you, within...

    Sent...
    sent into a world filled with darkness,
    you are your own beacon of light,
    crossing the depths of the desert,
    where there is no day nor no night...
    to find beyond your very being,
    a true light and guide of the way,
    true purpose above all the others,
    never sent, it never did stray...

    the natural state...

    you think it something foreign?
    only to mind of man...
    mind cannot find,
    ahead or behind,
    what is always in it's empty hand.
    why is the experiencing hidden?
    not hidden, just not recognized;
    it is the very nature of mind,
    and cannot be seen with man's eyes...
    only the eye of awareness,
    without it's obstructions can see;
    relax into your own natural state,
    emptiness awake, ever free...

    Those who are in bliss show others that bliss is there within to be had.

    Your poems are beautiful, Star, in the way they 'sing' to the hearts of others.

    Magical Play...

    magical play of one's own awareness,
    nothing else to be realized;
    filled with empty, yet luminous clarity;
    and spacious as the sky.
    not limited by space nor time;
    timeless, infinite, being;
    spontaneously dancing it's wisdom,
    equanimity and bliss it's own freeing...
    the truth of what you are,
    is the very experiencing of form,
    relax into your natural state;
    never dies and never was born.
    Rigpa is like a blazing fire,
    that burns through fears energy,
    igniting a clarity beyond conception,
    that always and ever is free...

    Emptiness Dances...

    Listen to me, infinate beings,
    No need to seek, what you already are;
    Abandon your search, with pure aware seeing,
    Rest in true nature, that has never known mar...
    Listen to me, glorious beings,
    never born, ever free, is your natural state;
    no need to alter, that which is perfect;
    no need to clean, an undirtied slate...

    Emptiness dances in it's own clear wisdom,
    Instantaneously present, pervading all time...
    Always pure vision, tis all that is needed,
    Emptiness form...rhythms it's rhyme...

    This is the secret, wisdom has whispered,
    This very instant, you now can taste,
    There is no struggle, within this wisdom,
    Enter this moment, know your true face...
    Please hear the message, abandon the teachings,
    Dance free of grasping, distractions are freed,
    All self-perfecting, clear light arising,
    Where I exist, there is no need...

    Emptiness dances in it's own clear wisdom,
    Instantaneously present, pervading all time...
    Always pure vision, tis all that is needed,
    Emptiness form...rhythms it's rhyme...

    Listen to me, blissful-filled beings,
    Allow what is natural, to rise from within;
    I am compassion beyond all conception,
    Rest in true nature, no beginning or end...
    There is no doubt, as to this state of knowledge,
    Precious and true, tis a nugget of gold,
    Carry it into, all of your evers,
    Every instant renewed...never can it grow old...

    Emptiness dances in it's own clear wisdom,
    Instantaneously present, pervading all time...
    Always pure vision, tis all that is needed,
    Emptiness form...rhythms it's rhyme...

    How will i find my primary teacher?
    Look to your universe; there you will see.
    A display of wisdom, yours for the taking,
    All is displayed, and in wisdom is free...

    To lighten the lamp, that is always within,
    The teacher is not something seperate from you,

    Awareness...

    when i am faced with my own fears,
    i know that God is ever near...
    within my heart and mind,
    within is where i find,
    the peace that passes understanding,
    calms my fears oh so demanding,
    all in it's own time,
    true nature of the mind...
    i long to be one with my Lord,
    to linger in the perfect Word...
    the journey of my life,
    to overcome its strife...
    to realize there is no other,
    holy father, holy mother...
    Awareness of the All...
    there never was a fall...
    in seeing now my one true face,
    i rest in pure Awareness grace,
    a true child of the king,
    primordial state of being...
    heart drops of the Dharmakaya,
    dancing in reflections Maya,
    Awareness wakes itself,
    there is nothing else,
    And yet it's everything you see,
    the magic play of you and me,
    in an instant it will change,
    everything will rearrange,
    enjoy the dance while you still can,
    Awareness is it's only plan,
    to taste the awe of it's creation,
    feeling all, and each sensation,
    Every instant is it's wisdom,
    freedom is it's path,
    consumating in compassion,
    for all from first to last...
    integrate the natural state,
    into your very life,
    it's the only way,
    to overcome it's strife...
    drama plays its own self out,
    like a movie on a screen,
    all the tangles that occur,
    are not what they may seem...
    whatever fears may come and go,
    have faith in what you are,
    Awareness is your natural state,
    right here and never far...
