SHACK 982 MENTOR

Lynchburg Park Recreation

 

Again I come back to the trees in the garden where I live. Many times they have taught me lessons silently and some may think I'm nuts, (the squirrels have the nuts!).

As I observed the trees now budding profusely (28 March 2021) and a cold morning with a slight misty haze and a profound silence I felt this joy arise, a grace and I felt the trees and I were at one, it was if our creation and origins were born from the same source. This source is invisible to the human senses and I do not know how the trees and nature feel it, perhaps they just feel the energy and grow silently. 

Some SHACK'S back I scribed how when I was in bed before sleep I asked the trees permission to experience their essence in their form. The branches, leaves and trunk were alive with colour brilliant wonderful light displays and the branches, leaves and trunk visible colour and form were fed by the light beneath their 'skin' so to speak, I was honoured and allowed to see their magnificent aura and this came about by me suspending logical ego intellectual and academic reasoning. I had the impression all organic form had this beneath the appearance of substance so named solid objects of an organic nature. This to me was the particles, atoms and molecules being 'fired up' if you will from the quantum zero vacuum or the Divine Fount.

It was a Christmas Light Tree event, sparkling, dazzling and yet a soft effervescence, a soft deeply permeating glow, a glow not of Earthly origin, yet the Earth has its glow and aura as well. Such majesty and a privilege.

Yet more; I realised in this emptiness of thought and brain buzz and the term emptiness or nothingness, impermanency and the mystery surrounding it all then it became a deeper understanding of the stillness and the quiet mind.    

The stillness was a sort of 'chalice cup' 'Holy Grail' of course without dimension or direction and not tangible to human touch and it was a sort of an invitation to be filled in the 'space between the ears' ' the vacation of the intellect and analysis' the busy ego brain chatter, the inner dialogue and those were all suspended.

'Be still and know I am the Divine within you' a well known bible quote, when the brain chatter ceases and the awareness just is aware of itself without rhyme or reason, the essence of Life is there, it is in this experience of pure mind unadulterated, that nature and creation can arise and its layers of particles / atoms selected by Divine Intelligence in the the stillness of Itself and comes forth as the blueprint evolves and is born to sparkling colour to form and the profound mystery remains; that which seems solid to the fleshly observer and senses is at its deepest level flashes and scribbles observed by those scientists at particle hadron colliders.

One does not need to have a 'collider' as such because in the stillness when thought naturally is suspended, a sort of voluntary invitation and complete surrender with love and acceptance, trust and knowing all is well and not being daunted by the natural cessation of thought and realising one is not asleep, day dreaming or in trance, hypnotised by once own imagination that one is indeed going in, down, up, through or any such notion that one is in consciousness, one is awareness where all and everything arises from and returns too.

Here, strange to say here, for there isn't a location, its a mind experience without programming or agendas, it feels stillness is just a stand alone stillness and is experienced as bliss, peace and bliss and the hush of that stillness which is potential and the fount of creation. Stillness becomes Awareness which is Consciousness and in real terms they are one and the same and the moment of Stillness those attributes arise in and with it, and Consciousness enjoys as does the experiencer who is the silent witness.
