❤ Red Cosmic Dragon ❤

In the deepest within, the most infinite beyond. In ever present awareness, your soul expands to embrace the entire Kosmos, so that Spirit alone remains, as the simple world of what is. The rain no longer falls on you, but within you; the sun shines from inside your heart and radiates into the world, blessing it with grace; supernovas swirl in your consciousness, the thunder is the sound of your own exhilarated heart; the oceans and rivers are nothing but your blood pulsing to the rhythm of your soul. Infinitely ascended worlds of light dance in the interior of your brain; infinitely descended worlds of night cascade around your feet; the clouds crawl across the sky of your own unfettered mind, while the wind blows through the empty space where your self once used to be. The sound of the rain falling on the roof is the only self you can find, here in the obvious world of crystalline one taste, where inner and outer are silly fictions and self and other are obscene lies, and ever-present simplicity is the sound of one hand clapping madly for all eternity. In the greatest depth, the simplest what is, in the journey ends, as it always does, exactly where it began.

  1. The Peak I had reached a peak, a plateau of sparkling clarity and conciousness. The world was sound, a vibrating molecular dance from the infinitesimallysmall to the infinitesimally vast, deeper than anything I'd ever imagined. I looked out the window and saw machine clouds churning through anendless sky. I saw light and colour and vacillating patterns possessed ofan indescribable essence. I realized that the room and world around mewere alive and that all things spring from the Divine Ground. This musthave been what the ancients felt when they spoke of the Great Spirit andin my minds eye, I could almost see an old shaman standing by his fire,arms outstretched to the heavens, with spirits dancing all around him, inthe shadows... There is ancient wisdom and knowledge here, something that prescinds thetruths we've come to accept in this civilization we've built around us. Something that transcends dogma, religion, culture, all the establishedways and mores of society. And for a time I'm ecstatic about being apartof and witness to this deeper truth. I found myself wishing everyonecould glimpse this ...path, this window. Surely no one could go throughthis experience and not come out of it a little more fulfilled orcentered, a little more whole... There is also a certain amount of fear here. This I found onintrospection, to be inevitable considering the complexities and fear thatpervades the world around us. But it didn't last, ecstatic communion andhope won out as I realized that I held the key to keep, or let go of, thefears that I possessed. Like I said before, it's only a matter ofperception... There are mysteries here, mysteries that will never be unraveled, not byme, not by anyone. For me it's enough to just BE, to accept, to goforward into light and love. To quote a friend: I was smiling in thepeace that surpasses understanding. 

    The Peak
    I had reached a peak, a plateau of sparkling clarity and conciousness. 
    The world was sound, a vibrating molecular dance from the infinitesimally
    small to the infinitesimally vast, deeper than anything I'd ever imagined.
    I looked out the window and saw machine clouds churning through an
    endless sky. I saw light and colour and vacillating patterns possessed of
    an indescribable essence.  I realized that the room and world around me
    were alive and that all things spring from the Divine Ground.  This must
    have been what the ancients felt when they spoke of the Great Spirit and
    in my minds eye, I could almost see an old shaman standing by his fire,
    arms outstretched to the heavens, with spirits dancing all around him, in
    the shadows...  

    There is ancient wisdom and knowledge here, something that prescinds the
    truths we've come to accept in this civilization we've built around us. 
    Something that transcends dogma, religion, culture, all the established
    ways and mores of society.  And for a time I'm ecstatic about being apart
    of and witness to this deeper truth.  I found myself wishing everyone
    could glimpse this ...path, this window.  Surely no one could go through
    this experience and not come out of it a little more fulfilled or
    centered, a little more whole...

    There is also a certain amount of fear here.  This I found on
    introspection, to be inevitable considering the complexities and fear that
    pervades the world around us.  But it didn't last, ecstatic communion and
    hope won out as I realized that I held the key to keep, or let go of, the
    fears that I possessed.  Like I said before, it's only a matter of
    perception...
    There are mysteries here, mysteries that will never be unraveled, not by
    me, not by anyone.  For me it's enough to just BE, to accept, to go
    forward into light and love.  To quote a friend: I was smiling in the
    peace that surpasses understanding.
