CHOICE
Only a free man
has any choice
with what he does
with his life.
A man in debt
is not free.
He is a prisoner
to that debt.
Dependency
on anything
is misery.
One nurtures inner happiness
by focusing on it.
Focus
is
highly
creative.
Everyone
has an opinion.
No one
has the facts.
Opinions
aren't worth
a fart in a
bottle.
If you truly want to know
whether 'water-boarding'
is torture or not;
ask a drowning man.

LYRICS : FREEDOM IS NOW ©
The world will always be as it is
As long as people are the same.
When people stop and look again
There'll be no pleasure and no pain.
The world is like a great big screen
On which you all project your dream.
The only thing I know that's real
Is the power behind the wheel.
Freedom is now
Where else can it be?
Freedom is now
All you have to do is see.
We live our fantasies and dreams
We cram our images in jeans
We haunt the shopping mall and street
Projecting on the ones we meet.
We hurt the ones we love the most
As we race to the winning post.
We never stop to think and care
Just as long as we get there.
We live our lives in fear and hope
In dark despair we often grope.
Ghosts and demons haunt our mind.
We feel we have an axe to grind.
We tell each other how it is
We think that life is one big quiz
The knowledge that we belch and spew
Is rooted in the me and you.
We chase success in empty worlds
We act like foolish boys and girls.
We laugh, we cry, we curse and scream
As we drown in our private dream.
And on it goes until the end
Until we find we cannot bend.
The life that we lived hopefully
Has ended up in memories.
Freedom is now
Where else can it be?
Freedom is now
All you have to do is see.

MUSINGS FROM SHADY GROVE
Nothing will change while the system of Government stays the same. The only ones who can change the system of Government is the people.
People who have
done a lot of hard work
have strong character.
I relieve
peoples' suffering
by not adding to it.
You can only remember the past NOW.
You can only imagine the future NOW.
Everyone is in the NOW.
Trust no future
however sweet.
When you reach a stage where there's nowhere to go, you'll find out there's nowhere
to come back to. In order to come back you have to go.
People are not interested in the unknown because they have never experienced it, therefore, they don't trust it.
Do understand - there can be no chicken without and egg. There can be no egg without a chicken. Only a fool would ask, "What came first the chicken or the egg?" They appear and disappear together as one.
If there wasn't such a thing as 'God', Then why do we have a word 'God'? Years ago there was no such thing as space travel. We made a 'rocket' and the word 'rocket' became part of our vocabulary. When we didn't have the word 'car' in our language, there was no such thing as 'car'. God and the word 'God' are inseparable.
Chasing happiness is a fools game.
Keep still and it will manifest
of its own accord.
Myself, I would like
everyone to be happy.
When one is doing what they truly love
there is no such thing as time.
Love is not timebound.
It is a timeless state.
Everyone
has experienced
love in their life.
Love and God
are inseparable.
Whatever you need in life,
it will be there for you
when you need it.
You brought it with you
when you appeared.
Once you mortgage your life to something,
don't complain that you have no time.
If you would like
your life to change,
first you have to know
what you would like it
to change to.
Before change,
your work is in the imagination.
After change,
you deal with facts.
I used to think I knew everything that was going on in my life and where I was going, until I took Sanyas. From then on, I realized nothing. That was 20 years ago. Today I know even less.
If you see me through a quiet (disciplined) mind you will have instant recognition of me as I AM. If you see me through an undisciplined mind that is fraught with waves, then you will see me as you want to see me. How I appear to you is none of my business.
Look at your reflection in a pool of water; then throw a stone in the water and tell me what the difference is.
I appear and the world appears.
I disappear and the world disappears.
That is the nature of appearances.
I don't need a car.
The body needs a car.
I had a hard time with that one.
That was difficult for me,
years ago, seeing myself
in others and others in myself.
There
is
only
one.
Needing anything
to make you happy
is a failure.
Relying on anything
time bound for your happiness
is doomed to failure.

TRULY ALIVE
Without feelings man is dead.
Only a man who can feel
everyones pain is truly alive.
Where there is life
there are feelings.
Where there are feelings,
there is love.
You can not buy qualities.
You have to earn them.
I love to feel.
I feel to love.
I only know my own truth.
I live my own truth.
If it ever lets me down,
I will know it's not the truth.
One cannot have duality
without duality.
The curse of Enlightenment is,
one feels humanities pain.
If you can stand to live with humanities pain
you are entitled to Enlightenment.
I sacrifice my own pain to feel the pain of humanity.
I live with humanities pain every day of my life.
Interest is life force.
The more interest you have in life
the more life will make itself available to you.
I AM
an ocean of peace.
Whatever disturbs
that peace
has to go.
It is as bad to acquire
as it is to give up.
By all means
give up the unnecessary
and acquire the necessary.
The only reason one creates
God and Heaven is because
they are living in hell.
Live conceptually free.
True freedom is from concepts.
Why would one trust a concept
when they have their own self
which was there before
and after everything
and nothing.
The only thing one cannot
live separate from is life.
There will be no peace on this earth
until man sees it as his duty to manifest it.
That is a worthy cause to live for,
to manifest peace on earth.
One can only
appreciate time
when they are
free of it.
Worthiness
creates
ability.
Whatever
the mind
dwells on
long enough
it becomes.
There is only peace in security.
There is only security in peace.
There is no security
in an insecure world.
The only way one can
survive terrorism
is to manifest
more peace
than the terrorist can
manifest terror.
It makes one
incredibly strong
when they’ve only got
themselves
to rely on.
When dreams
turn into nightmares
they wake you up.
If you don’t
enjoy nightmares
don’t go to sleep.
By all means take rest.
To live your dreams
you have to be asleep.
The shock of enlightenment is
that nothing changes.
The day is soon approaching
when every one will
share a common interest - Survival.

TOO BIG
In 2009,
the order of the day was
'too big to fail'
In 2010,
it's going to be '
too big too survive'!
There are too many extras in this movie.
For the next scene we only need 15%.
GET RID OF THEM!
Pay them off.
Once you've been paid off,
you are unemployed.
Politicians are paid off to do favors. Once that happens, they are no longer in the employ of the people. In those worlds, bribery & corruption are not the crime; getting caught is the crime!
Everyone gets
what they deserve.
What are you going to do in the 'bad' times? Remember the 'good' times and hope that they will return?
ARGUE
WHEN THE PAIN GETS GREAT ENOUGH
No one can change facts;
they can only distort them.
One cannot do anything
until they are moved to do it.
The non-doer
has no control
over happenings.
ATTRACTION:
The All-Attractive One;
The Destroyer.
Attraction
has more power
than the denier.
For life
not to become boring
one has to welcome
the new.
Different bait
for different fish.
Continuation
at all costs.
I AM
even beyond the
brightest idea.
I suck your breath in and out.
Have you ever wondered
who has that amount of
power & control?
Your life
is in
my hands.
Lucky for you
I don't forget
as easily
as you do.
I AM
not on the bottom
of any ones list.
Summer
is
over.
How do you separate
purity from quality?
It's not possible.
HOW BAD
DOES IT
HAVE TO
GET?
When the pain
gets great enough.

REVOLT
When the word revolt
is no longer revolting
to the mind, people will
revolt, make no mistake
about that.
You can't have the Guru
without God,
You can't have God
without the Guru.
If it disturbs my peace,
it is not-acceptable.
I do not follow trends;
I set them.
The next trend is
DESTRUCTION OF IGNORANCE.
There are no mistakes
in experiments.
They either work
or they don't.
That's how you find out!

LACK OF PURITY
Lack of purity
is called
EVIL!
Nothing can happen
without interest.
Interested in going
beyond pain & suffering.
The Government & the people
come & go together.
When the peoples' actions change,
the Governments actions will change.
Even non-action
is a form of action.
The body is in the mind.
The mind is not in the the body.
Your physical health
cannot be better or worse
than the quality & purity
of your thoughts.

NEED TO KNOW
Everything you need
to know about me
is written
on my forehead.
That was then
and this is now.
You are not
the doer!
You don't think about dying
when you're 18.
It's only when you're
up in your 80s'
that you think about dying.
Without the basics
what can you learn?
You won't have
a foundation to build on.
The fuel that keeps
your world alive
is called PRANA
[Your breath.]
Once you hit rock bottom,
you can't do it again
because there's nothing to do.
That's what I do,
I take everybody
back to the basics.

THE UNCHANGEABLE
I know what is real;
the Unchangeable
showed me that.
The clock
is not going
to be wound
up again.
Business as usual
is over.
Generosity
is a facet
on the
Diamond of Kindness.
Mass anger
comes
after
no hope.
Give the heart
an opportunity
to experience itself,
through human kindness.
Once you experience
the Heart of Matter,
you will become
Pure Awareness.
There is no such thing as unconscious.
There is lack of awareness.
These days,
the only difference
between man & animals
is legs.
Don't you tell me there is no such thing as unconditioned love. Go on YouTube and watch the video of the dog nursing piglets!

REMINDERS
What's wrong with a reminder
now & again until you don't
need reminding again?
Comments
are not needed
on Truth & Fact
If you notice a sick man and offer him medicine, don't be disappointed when he doesn't take it. Now, if a sick man comes and asks you for medicine, don't keep him waiting.
When you stop
looking for praise,
there'll be no need
to accept blame.

DEAD EARNEST
THE HUMAN CONDITION
The human condition
is conditioned.
That's the problem.
One has to be aware
of the talking
in the mind.
Life is an objective experience –
not subjective.
Knowledge is in the
object not in the subject.
The artist is in the canvas.
The smoker is in the cigarette.
It is impossible to create happiness.
One can only create obstacles,
which are obstructions to happiness.
Before one can
entertain the silence
one has to be
introduced to it.
Only the silence
can introduce one
to the silence.
Consciousness is the disease.
The antidote prescribed is
to never have self-doubt.
The mind has an idea – the body.
The mind creates time
for it to move in
and space for it to live in
And then projects the body:idea into it.
What creates?
Ones most sacred possession,
the space between the breath.
Insecurity
and pain
cause change.
Awareness is thought-free.
Consciousness is dependent on awareness.
Awareness is not dependent on consciousness.
Consciousness can be conscious of itself,
but it cannot be conscious of awareness.
Enlightenment
is just the
beginning.
Fear is not of the known.
It is of the unknown.
The very fact that one knows there is a prison
is because they’ve been let out of prison.
The only way one knows they are in bondage
is because they’ve experienced freedom.
Attention & investigation
dissolves illusions.
First comes investigation.
Next comes detection.
Then comes light.
Satisfaction = Fullness.
Full of silence.
Full of unconditioned love,
which is a manifestation of the silence.
Satisfaction lies beyond the senses.
Silence is bliss.
Bliss is beyond qualities.
Bliss cannot be experienced
in the confines of the mind.
Once one loses everything,
once there is no more hope,
then and only then is it possible
for anything of any significance to happen.
The mind creates blockages.
The mind itself is a prison
and the mind is also the key.

I AM THE GURU
I AM The Guru. Of that,there is no doubt. Yet, at the same time I am worthless. Were I to be seen as valuable, wouldn't people be falling over themselves to ask me questions?
When revolt is
no longer
a revolting idea,
you will be free.
I'm interested in
what's here & now.
Unless it's here right now,
it's no good to me.
There is no such thing as
security in an insecure world.
The closest you'll get is Gold.
Meditation was a way
of understanding
what & why
my life was like it was.
Language
either keeps you free
or makes you a prisoner.
Using words
you don't understand
is dangerous.
Nothing matters
once one has
the Mantra.
Matter
is what you
are not aware of.

DYING HAPPY
The only people who die happy are the ones who devote their lives to something beyond their desires and what they want out of life. The desire-less laugh in the face of death. The desire-full shit & piss themselves.
You can't live life
without getting into it.
It's the greed
that makes things
so expensive.
85% go.
15% stay.
In order for the 15% to survive they will have to manifest unconditioned love and that is the foundation of a great new society.
How does a conditioned society manifest
unconditioned love for each other?
The 10 Commandments
are all the laws
that any intelligent
society needs.
To find out how we are doing as a Society,
Google how many laws there are on the books.
To get free of the mind,
first one has to understand it
and how it works.
The world is like it is
because people have lost
contact with the Earth.
The world is like it is
because people are
like they are.
Change the people,
Change the world.
The mind itself is God.
When the mind is happy
everyone is happy.
Enlightenment~
If not now,
When?
He who carries
the most Love, wins.
Actions create situations
which demand a correct response.
All problems are self-created.
Where they lead you is anybodies guess.
You can only have free will when you are free.
Once free, you can use your will, as a tool,
to uplift the Society you live in.
First,
one has to know
what to get free from!
Freedom and fear cannot
live in the same room.
Whatever
gets in the way
of Love
has to go.
You will be quite surprised
at what you will see when
thought stops interfering.
Contemplation is looking
without thinking.
Everything that is added
in life causes change.
The Changeless has
nothing added to it.
Knowledge
of the Laws of Nature
guarantees survival.
Pure action
Not reaction.
The Mind; You have the power,
not the mind.
It's as obvious
in the beginning
as it is in the end.
The confusion
is in the middle.
In deep sleep there is no religion.
In deep sleep there is no war.
In deep sleep the mind is in abeyance.
If you still have desires
you need a God to fulfill them.
Master the Self
with discipline.
The mind is like a child,
it wants everything it sees.
There is only one thing on my list ~ INTEREST
Nothing can happen without it.
When one is given the Gift of Life,
it is their duty to live it & investigate it

GOD IS NOT FUSSY
God is not fussy,
He resides in everyone,
even atheists.
Don't get excited
over delusions.
My armor is
that I speak the truth.
To recognize the truth,
you've got to have at least
a little bit of it in you.
No one can claim
to be a Christian
and go to war and kill!
The duty of every Christian
is to see God in each other.
War is the absolute refusal
to perform ones' duty.
It promises everything
and gives nothing.
It gives life
and takes it.
There can't be a God
without a man.
No joy
No results.
Always speak the Truth.
It dis-empowers ignorance.
It is the duty of everyone
to manifest God Consciousness.
A man has only two hands.
When both of his hands are full
and he is offered a gift,
in order to take the gift
he has to put something down.
When thinking stops,
Love begins.
If you want to stay young,
stay in touch with your love.
You can't use love
against another.
You can only use their fear
to control them.
Just as a rotten apple
in a barrel will
contaminate all the others,
so will one out-dated, rotten idea
do the same.
Don't let anyone
steal your heart or
they will control your mind.
Looking for happiness in others is like
expecting a barren women to give birth.
There is an abundance of happiness in each and every one of us. Prove me wrong. Stop creating misery! Creating misery and then complaining you're not happy is a fools' game!
Commitment
is the
great revealer.
The only way to
transmute a society
is for everyone to experience
the same thing at the same time.
It has to effect everyone
You only need
one for a party!
Love does not control.
Fear does.
Good habits keep
the bad habits out!
One can have power in the world
when they have power over their mind.
Constant
attention.
Joy is joy.
It doesn't
belong to anyone.
It's just there.
A prisoner
of ignorance.
People who have ideas about God
are separate from God.
Their ideas separate them.
If you're together
you'll make it.
If you're not,
you won't.
Creative intelligence
comes from the
center of the heart.
Knowledge exists in the Heavens.
It is ones' duty to pull it down
for the betterment and upliftment of man.
