SHACK 191 SENIORS

from Shack

The passage of Earthly time, the years gone by can have an advantage. Through seeming loss it can provide and compensate for a gain not often sought after.

 As the body slows down just a trifle getting a little sluggish and stiff, it can afford one the opportunity to slowly withdraw from the senses. This is not becoming docile, senile, depressed or lack lustre or idiocy.

The outside world that is composed of the senses does not have the same attraction although a residue of the pull of the attraction may still be there, the urge for physical fulfilment gives way to something more significant.

Rather than just a hobby, watching sport, delighting in family, one may per chance discover a deep repose and relaxation even meditation.  Here one can find an inner world, not withdrawal or living in fantasy or unfulfilled wish day dreaming inner or outer as it were, and it just becomes a combination of inner awareness and outer awareness of the physical senses and it simply becomes awareness.  Indeed in deep repose and relaxation one can have a sense, a deep feeling that the body has its origin from that inner so it seems calm and Being.

There seems to be no perceptual thought, for this is the experience of the utter calm and is the realm of pure feeling without imagination and does not include emotional, physical, psychological, mental phenomena and it is not definable but is definitely feel-able.

In this quietness and deep relaxed repose one can sometimes feel a kind of ‘gentle buzzing’ as if the tiny atoms and particle were and are popping in an out of the void, like sparklers, the void it is assumed being the quantum ‘realm’ the field and fountain of Life.

It is in surrendering to this peaceful state and letting the body rest, that one can sense a renewal and replenishing. The nourishment of the soul.  It is the communication of the bodily intelligence and indeed the intelligence of the Universe ‘whispering to one’ it is feeling whisper.

Here everything arises from the void, the matrix, the womb of creation, it is the never ending or beginning, it is the eternal, the infinite, it is indeed the fount of life.

Be Still and become one with that Eternity.  For all creation rises and falls out of and into the Ocean Of Being.
