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.

THE PERFECT QUESTION

What am I not aware of
that I need to be aware of
to improve the
quality of my life, NOW?





















Goodness
is the
child
of caring.






















As I appear,
I AM
the servant
of my Inner Self.






















If you want to know
how corrupt you are,
test your sense of Justice.






















One has to put themselves
in a good position to receive.

























What you are
not aware of
is choosing
for you.


























Why do you talk to yourself?
To convince yourself
there's someone there?


























Only a man who knows
he's truly alone can
appreciate good company.


























You have to
develop patience
to understand patience
& reap its benefit.



























I AM
not sold out,
therefore, anything I say
will not make you money.



























Anything of
true value
cannot be bought.

























You are perfect, with your imperfections. After all, any idiot knows that perfection includes imperfection, otherwise, it wouldn't be perfection.























The great thing about personal experience is,
you don't care if anyone believes you or not.
























Now it's not about
Society accepting me,
it's about me accepting society.




















What are they trying
to distract me from?






















We are all Self-Governed.
We don't need any external
force telling us what to do.
For that matter we don't
need any internal force
telling us what to do.



















How can you tell a man
what he is when you don't
know what you're not?
















Atheists;
God has to exist
for the one who wants to
deny his existence.

A DESIRE-LESS STATE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7tlg_HiZsc

In a desire-less state
it's easy to say 'no'.













The only way
business-as-usual
can go is
through transmutation.



















When thought
interferes
with the Truth,
it's called ignorance.


















There is no paranoia
in witness consciousness.
















This is how benevolent the Truth is. It made you the non-doer so that you did not have to experience being guilt-ridden.


















The one who is going to save the world is the one who is not born. Were you born? It is your direct experience that you were born? Is the event in your memory bank? Or do you simply believe as others do?

















A man went into a bank to withdraw money. "Can you identify yourself?" said the teller. The man took out a mirror from his coats inner pocket. He looked into the mirror & then said to teh teller, "Yup, that's me."



















Heaven is a desire-less place.
How long do you think you'd last there?



















One doesn't know what they're capable of doing until they are called upon to do it.

THE SAFEST STATE

Guruji tattooed this drawing of the Rainbow Serpent that he did on his own leg.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7tlg_HiZsc

The safest state is not knowing
& the safest place is the unknown.





















Only a desire-less man
can desire for others.

















Heaven is a desire-less state.
It's open & available to everyone.




















Are you qualified?


















You can't experience heaven
if you're living in hell.





















If you have the good fortune
to see me once, it's all over.
You will lose everything.
Then you will be like me
~ a nothing & a nobody

















I spent many years looking for a way out & I can guarantee you, there isn't one! It's part of the illusion of being born. Once you accept the illusion of being born, it's all downhill from there on in.





















MANIFEST
DESTINY
















Everyone brings me their world, their dream.
Were they to convince me of its reality
it would continue. If not, it shatters.




















UNITY
CONSCIOUSNESS
















If you can't
keep your mind silent,
at least try
to use it correctly
for all our sakes.
















DUALITY
SEES
DIFFERENCES

















Once you know, beyond any doubt
that you are That; where is the
need for a higher power?


















Whatever is born dies.
Be careful what you take
your identity from.
When you take your identity
from the limited,
don't be surprised
when it ends.

















Philosophy is a way of trying to explain the un-explainable
which you only need to do when you're not living it.
Philosophy also helps an insecure mind to feel secure.

















Squashing it
is harder than
living with it.
"Ain't that the Truth Yorky Mate!"

















In the end
you have to.


















It's all over
barring the
fall-out.




















Were people
to put
their own
world in order
it would create a
new world order.





















The Truth is not popular because
there is no market for it
nor will there ever be.

WHERE WILL EFFORT TAKE YOU?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7tlg_HiZsc

If you don't make your best effort
you'll never be convinced that
effort will take you nowhere.



















It's what makes
everything possible.



















I AM
Self-governed.
I do it for
myself.




















In my world
you get the
best of
everything.



















In duality there is right & wrong.
In my world there is only right.
My world is empty & that's alright.




















When you see yourself in others
all talk of personality will cease.






















Nothing can happen,
in the world, without
the peoples consent.






















Passive/Active ~
Passive implies
you are totally ignorant
& cannot comprehend
this knowledge.
Active implies
you comprehend
but don't care.























There's something wrong
in the picture of
'having your cake & eating it.'




























Suffering
is mental
Pain
is physical.



























You either carry knowledge
for each other or
you're programmed.
























Greed
arises through
lack of giving.



























People use each other as walls.
They bounce the ball off of it
to see if they're acceptable.
























To be who you are,
stop pretending to be
what you're not.



























This is the game;
the game goes like this;
I AM - I'm not, I AM - I'm not.



























Only sick people will allow
other sick people to
run the show.
Only a weak society will allow
weaklings to
occupy power positions.





















How much bombardment
can a weak mind stand?

WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J__kLNLIPpA

When is enough, enough?
When will people______?


















There is a government
in the American dream
There is a government
in the American nightmare.























The government is a reflection
of the people & vise-verse.

























The consciousness of the people
is a limitation.
Therefore, where does
the idea of freedom come from?



















Only
the
unlimited
is free.




















A long journey
of illusions.


























Where there's smoke
there's fire.















































The nature
of life
is to grow.


























First,
you've got to know
that you are a loser
before you can
do anything about it.

























You will not get
happy, well-adjusted
children by giving
them false heroes.

























When things
get bad enough,
anyone will look.
























Any idiot
can create drama,
Only a wise man
can manifest silence.

When you
open your heart
You're the first
one to get it.
That is your
last chance of
survival.






















It's dead & empty in there
so I talk to my Self.























What you identify with
will determine if you
survive or not.

























Once you know what you are willing to die for
you'll also know your chances of survival.


























It keeps everything
balanced & in perspective.
























The world, itself, is only an idea based on I AM.
Therefore, what does it say of the things in it?























Just as in re-incarnation;
if you did your best
why would you bother
to come back?






















Re-incarnation is no use
to the man who burnt the
bridges behind him.

























It's not what
I know
it's who
I AM.






















To discover who you truly are
you have to give up what
you know, the known.





















Searching for Enlightenment
is part & parcel of the dream.
























One who credits the
world with reality
enslaves themselves.
Don't blame others.























True freedom lies
in denying the
world reality.























Now you know
what true freedom is,
it's up to you.





















Ignorance is the chain
that shackles you
to the world.





















"It can't be you, you don't fit the mold."
"Right, you noticed. I'm not Cinderella, you know."

SYMBOLS WITHIN THE CIRCLE © ~WHAT'S YOUR SIGN?

Michelle York here.
I have been posting on this blog for 11 years now.
It is one of the joys of my life.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Did you know that Guru Om makes jewelry?

I'm offering, for a limited time, pendants celebrating ones astrological symbol. They can also be made as bracelets. Send me an email at yorkmich@gmail.com & we can talk.

Handmade in the garden with an old ballpeen hammer, a jewelers saw..a few minimal tools..Guruji taught himself how to do this so we could raise funds for various projects.

Guruji doesn't have an ashram or collect disciples. Neither does he give workshops & lectures. Anything he does, in the realm of spirituality, is all free. He has never charged one cent in all the years I have known him.

All signs are available.
These photos are not photoshopped.

The pendants are strung on a cord but you can put it on a chain.

They are also available in Silver/Gold/Gold-filled.

The size of the circle is 1-3/4".













No fancy workshop. This is the summer workshop. Lots of natural light. In winter, He'll take all the tools inside and work there..

LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION OF MANIFESTATION

Love is the Foundation of Manifestation.
You can't do anything without it.






















One spark
of It
keeps the
human being
alive.




















It gives
meaning
to words.




















No go-between
has ever improved it.




















It's all
in the mind,
Yorky mate.





















Even the best mirror
can only give you
a reflection.


















The body is
a false picture,
don't buy it.





















Here's a man dreaming he's awake.
Here's a man dreaming he's asleep.
What's the common factor?
They're both dreaming.























Very seldom
does the
imaginable
happen.




















A one-world-government
creates a one-world-religion
which gives rise to a
one-God-world.
No more holy wars.
























The good thing about
doing your best
is that you don't have to
do it again.
What would be the point?
























To experience yourself,
to be yourself; first
the mind has to stop.























There is no substitute for
Direct Knowledge
which comes out of
Direct Experience.























You are not a 'thing'.
There is no 'thing'
you can point to and say,
"This is mine.".
You are what
makes it all
possible.























'Those whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make famous.' A good reason not to have Gods in you life unless, of course, they are going to serve you and treat you like the King that you are.

WHAT I FOUND WITHIN MYSELF

I found
in myself
what is
100% reliable
















It's the
unseen
that keeps
the seen alive.
















If you're going to be selfish
then at least do it right.
See yourself in everyone
& everyone in yourself.
















Now, the beauty is, were someone to say to you, "You are a selfish bastard!" You will reply with a huge smile & say, "I AM, thank you for noticing."



















In the void there is
no such thing as
name, shape & form.
That's what makes it so.





















The debt that man is in to credit cards
is nothing, in comparison to the debt
he owes the Earth for what he does to her.

















































Without Justice
there is no life.






















Without your
pseudo-knowledge
you're a nothing
& a nobody,
just like me.





















Nightmares are
only for dreamers






















Your fine education &
all your degrees are
no good to you on
an empty stomach.






















Be careful
your life doesn't
get too speedy
or the friction
will burn you up.






















You claim
to have choice,
then please
explain to me
why you created
a world like this.























Responding & reacting
are two completely
different things.























You cannot die;
that is a fact.
But, by the time
I'm finished with you,
you'll wish you could.























There's nothing one can
do about anything;
openness & gratitude
& that's it.






















The first shall be last &
the last shall be first.
The 'hopers' will be last &
the 'trusters' will be first.
Any fool can hope;
Only a wise man can trust.
