Dearest all, I received a forward in which I loved the quote and the concept triggered of my own sharing...so here it is...especially for anju.
Mind expansion.... is like climbing a mountain...the higher you get, the more extensive becomes your view of self, life, the other and god!
The higher you climb you begin to see in fresh ways those spots you had dwelled in on the way up!! No scene, no concept ever remains static and done with.... for with every step up you add to it a new dimension! And view afresh in this wonder! And you know that if you were to revisit it you would have so much more to explore and know of it!
And as you begin to reach up… the various scenes and vistas and peaks and valleys and rivers you had separately explored and found so large perhaps all consuming while within them … now begin to blur and minimize … just like concepts which had seemed so important: karma, freewill, destiny, desire, beliefs, manifestation etc all tend to blend into a composite whole of the one larger view from this angle....not separate demarcated subjects….and you see them now for what they were… the path … the wondrous journey… vital yes and enjoyable most certainly…but having done their work… they were each the means to be traveled through …not stay in; And by and by your focus switches to this wordless goal… the breathlessness of being atop this mountain…
To this place in which there are no words no concepts ....only gulps of fresh air... ah’s perhaps… an experience you can barely describe to those back home... so you take some pictures and hope they get the essence ……because you know deep in your heart that’s the only thing you can really convey to another of your beingness here… and yet if you have experienced it and reveled and been enchanted ,your photos help yes yes they do, but it is your love and enthusiasm… your truth of the place… that the other gets a feel for it through!
And so you make another trip with more beloveds… enjoying it once again in new ways... showing the others what they may miss, pointing to them when not to linger too long for there is more, yet guiding them they where they must linger and rest to facilitate the journey ahead… and gleaning so much more through them…their fresh eyes… .their pictures adding to yours…
And they then take their friends while you strike out to discover yet another peak… passionate yes, but rested this time; in surrender… in confidence … in knowingness yet complete openness are you ready for more…
Love from my heart to yours
