WHAT ARE PROBLEMS?

Photobucket
Problems
are
manifested
worries.








Poor people are always worrying about not having enough money. The antidote for that is to start worrying about having too much money.









To strengthen the minds'
focus and attention,
pick one thing you
are willing to die for
and focus on it.









You can't speed
the process up
but you can
slow it down.









You can have enlightenment,
(or put more simply)
your own natural state
anytime you like.
It's yours for the taking,
all it takes is guts.








Take everything you know
about yourself and your world
and dump it.
You will be left with
what you started with.









Count up your habits
and the things that
you believe you can't
live without and you
will know, first-hand,
what your chances
of survival are.








What you are witnessing now, I witnessed 30 years ago in meditation. At the time, I had no idea at all what I was seeing. What is happening today and will happen tomorrow, I have seen. (It's old news to me.) Had you have seen, 20 years ago, what you are experiencing today, you would have been better prepared.








A shock happens
when you can't find
a pigeon-hole to put it in.
Pigeon-holes and labels
create a false sense of security.







Once you attain your natural state,
that's when the fun really starts.








Were people to have
lived as simply as possible
this would not be happening.







When you want something
you can be caught and
manipulated.








Whether you believe
me or not
doesn't make
any difference
to what I AM.







I AM
what you
are looking for.








It is my job to stay
silent and unchangeable.
It is your job to look for me.
It is not my job
to tell you who I AM.
It is your work to find out.

A TRUST FUND

Photobucket
When you live on Trust
you have a Trust Fund.
The more you Trust
the more funds are
made available to you.
Beyond all hope
lies your Trust Fund.








Hope
is nothing more
than expectation of results.







Once there's no more
security in your world;
where else is there to go?







The
Prodigal
Son
returneth.








"If tha dus aut fa nout,
tha mun do it fa tha sen"
simply means, doing something
for someone, for free, is a way
of being charitable to oneself.

HOW PEOPLE SEE THEMSELVES

Photobucket
People see themselves as 'persons' due to the fact that they live in their own little personal world. The housing bubble burst; the next 'shoe to hit the floor' will be your personal world, the dreams that you imagine yourself to have been born into.







The
Last
Wave,
The
Big
Tsunami.







"I've missed the last bus!
How am I going to get home?"
"Walk!"
The good thing is you will not be owned by the oil companies anymore. You will not spend anymore of your valuable time locked up in an illusion created by the oil companies. The metal and plastic 'bubble' has burst.







In the Outback of Australia I thought myself very fortunate. I slept in the back of my Station Wagon, under the stars. An Aborigine who goes on 'walkabout' would use a dumped, rotted-out car in the Bush for his 'humpy'. A 'humpy' can be made out of anything; sticks & leaves or glass & steel. It may be a penthouse but at the end of the day, it's still a 'humpy.







Better to look
up to yourself
rather than looking
down on yourself.








It doesn't matter
what color you are;
hunger is hunger &
survival is survival.

OLD::NEW

Photobucket
The old way has to die
for the new to come.
Death of the old
is the birth
of the new.







The
tongue
creates
shape
and
form.









What use is any knowledge
without knowledge of oneself?










Consciousness
is
a
mirror.









There is a fine line
between a fool
and a wise man.
Enlightenment
is the removal
of that line.









Everyone is born equal.
The difference lies
in what one attains.








Everlasting life
exists beyond the mind.









How does one go beyond the mind?
By asking that question.










Truth
always wins
over delusion.










There is a spark of life
in each and every one of us.
Look after that spark.
There is no difference
between the spark
and the fire.








The whole of life
is built on
that one idea.
I AM









All relationships
are based on
that one relationship –
the relationship with oneself.








To see
the need
for change –
that’s all.









When you become
the center
of your own attention
you will never
want attention
from anyone else.








What is the World?








If pleasure is addictive,
don’t you think pain
is also addictive?








Learn to listen
without thinking.









One tiny spark can burn down a whole forest.
One tiny spark can burn down a forest of desires.









What is the most attractive?
The Light,
which reveals the Truth,
which is the Way.








Stable,
in the midst
of all diversity.








If we could do it for ourselves,
If we could get ourselves free;
What is the need for the Guru?







The
Gurus’
way
works.








The sound produced
by the breathing mechanism
is called
HAM SA : I AM
I AM the Light.
I AM the Truth.
I AM the Way.

I AM is the Light.
I AM is the Truth.
I AM is the Way.








When attention is placed on the breathing
and the space between the breaths;
that is the opening door.
KNOCK
AND THE DOOR
WILL BE OPENED
UP TO YOU.
Attention is the knocking.
The space between the breath is the door.
The silence is you.










All secrets
are in
the space
between the breath.
What could be simpler?









It is a simple child-like state.
Have the innocence of a child.








Saints become sinners.
Sinners can become saints.
Don’t become either.

FORMULA FOR PEACE

Photobucket
People believe I am insane for tattooing a Universal formula for Peace on my forehead. Now, my feelings on the subject are, anyone who is not interested in it doesn't deserve to live.










The chances of survival
are much greater when
you manifest Peace.
War can only take you so far.









Lying makes matters worse. Honesty is a fundamental policy of an enlightened Society. Without that fundamental policy you are nothing more than a pack of animals pretending that you are human.










No one is born human.
Humanity is attained
through a lifetime of
selfless service.









When God becomes the Destroyer of Ignorance, rather than the Order-Supplier, then you will know the true feelings of God. God exists in your feelings. Every living entity, in all of the glorious shapes and forms, have feelings. One cannot live without feelings.








When you can't go to sleep, of a nightime, because you are feeling the grief of another womans loss,(her son has just been blown to pieces). Know then that you are close to God.









Q: What is common to all?
A: The space between the breath
and the breathing.
Pure Communism.









Without inner stability,
how are you going to survive?









Societies are no better or worse than its' laws. Without laws there is no such thing as a Society. Fact is; one rule of law applied equally to everyone. Once money can save a man from the punishment of his crime, then the law has been rotted & corrupted. No Society or Country can survive under those circumstances. The white man does 3 months. The Black man does 30 years. The poor man is held in custody until his trial. The rich man buys his freedom. What you see happening in the world today are the results of a corrupt justice system.









People don't know the difference between lies & truths, do they? You can thank the TV for that!









Photobucket
We have become one big insane asylum.
My madness will cure your madness!

FEELING COMPASSION

Photobucket
The poor man
creates the
possibility
for the rich man
to feel compassion
and help him.








An economy is a living entity.
It requires the same attention
as a well-disciplined,
upstanding citizen.







I have no answer for you. I did have, once upon a time but nobody wanted to hear it. "Go away mate, we don't want Prophets of doom here...we're American!"








By my actions shall you know me.
I do not need a propaganda team.








Sanyas
means that I go without
so that others may have it.








When your actions benefit others
with no thought to yourself,
we will live in a sweeter world.

PROBLEMS

Photobucket
All problems
are self-created.
You are the
only one who can
solve them.








You create worlds
and universes,
and populate them.
Then you destroy
them without even
batting an eyelid.








Any fool can create.
It takes a great being
to destroy,
through discipline.








Depth
and
commitment
are
inseparable.







Commitment is to the death.
One never knows when they
will be called on to do so.








At the center of the heart
is a seat.
Put your mind on that seat
and keep it there.
That's where it belongs.








Endless roaming
the senses
will not help.







Consciousness
is not the ultimate state.
It is an addiction.








The fact that you ignore me
proves you know who I AM.
SHIVO HAM








Erupting volcanoes,
an earthquake a day
and UFOs up the yazoo.
Welcome to the
New World Order!







The Planet will do
whatever She has to,
to be known and felt.








When you have desires,
you need a world.







The killing of women & children
will not go unpunished!
Everyone on this Planet
will pay for that crime.








That's the problem;
too many cowboys,
not enough Indians.








The war machine
eats people.
The more it eats,
the more it wants?

CONTROL OVER NATURE

Photobucket
Mankind has no control
over nature because
he is out of tune
with his own nature.










Once knowledge is acted upon
and put into practice
it manifests the experience
which gives rise to
right understanding.








I AM
what YOU
have been
looking for.









Responsibility simply means
the situation demands a correct response.










The mind is very Mercurial.
It creates something,
entertains it for a while,
gets bored with it
and then destroys it.









The mind is
non-different
than the Self.









One the mind is purified
it becomes
Pure Intelligence in Motion.










The mind is necessary
to find the Post Office
and a street address etc.
When nothing needs to be known
it becomes the silence.










The Self cannot be defined
because it is beyond
what one is using to define it,
-the mind.








The limited cannot
define the Unlimited.
It is the Unlimited
that annihilates the limited.









A person
is a bunch of
memories, doubts,
compromises and
limitations.









The more out-of-tune man becomes
with the laws of the Mother -Nature,
disasters are sure to come.








A tree has no mind,
no capacity to
contemplate
WHO AM I?









Wisdom
is
Truth
in
action.







One who has
nothing to lose
has everything to gain.







Talking
is
amplified
thinking.









Integrity goes
hand in hand
with ones
direct experience
of Reality.

ASKING THE PERFECT QUESTION

Photobucket
Watch the breath.
There is a space between
the 'in' and the 'out' breath.
As thoughts arise ask
“who is watching the thoughts?”
The obvious answer is “I am.”
That is the sound the breath makes.
“Who am I?”
Don’t be afraid to ask.
For that question
there is no answer
in consciousness,
therefore,
it will take you
beyond consciousness.

THE PERFECTION OF SIMPLICITY

Photobucket
I have enough to live on
and not enough to lose,
without worrying about it.







One cannot know the Self.
They can only be the Self.








True understanding
is not needing a ‘me’.








Everything is a reflection.
You are not the face
that appears in the mirror,
neither are you the mirror.
You are what makes seeing possible.









Thought is thought.
Thought has got
nothing to do
with you.








Nothing can be created
until the old is
totally destroyed.
Destruction
is a necessary
part of creation.
Creation
itself
is
destruction.









You are the Supreme Reality,
beyond the world and its Creator.
Beyond consciousness and its witness,
beyond all assertions and all denials.







You are
what you
have been
looking for.









Looking out is called thinking.
Looking in is called intuition.







One works
with the
'Inner Tutor'.








Thinking
gets in
the way.







Q: What is the body without the mind?
A piece of meat.








Living life
as honestly
as possible,
builds character.








Without a sense of humor
it is hard to get through life.








When nature acts
man reacts.








Yesterdays illusion
is tomorrows’ past.








Addiction to memory
is recreating the past
and projecting it
into the future.
What is already there is enough.









Only one
who is on
the other side
of
the door
can open
it.









Satisfaction
comes with acceptance of fact.
Dissatisfaction
comes with fantasy and illusion.
