SHACK 3021 ENTRANCE

SHRINE TO THE ONE

Proverbs 8:34, ESV: Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. Proverbs 8:34, KJV: Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 

This proverb has a deep meaning for me. When in meditation the many thoughts, pictures and scenarios pass through the mind stream and I feel my deep breaths coming spontaneously from my dantien and hara and I become aware of my awareness, the flotsam and jetsam and scenarios  begin to fade and I am not in trance or sleepiness, a sort of gap a sort of sliding from the mind screen and the flotillas of indiscriminate debris and junk feelings and thoughts and suggested emotions therein seem to dim and slide into a low warm glow and sharp and yet comfortable awareness, an awareness of no particular focus, in fact a wide seemingly unending expanse of what is the awareness of the timelessness experience of awareness experiencing Itself without interference.

This quiet is the one who listens 'to me' and is aware that the gate or entrance is that thought process to the sliding into quite and awareness, it is the line as it were, where the level, where thought subside and awareness and the quiet change over or under or is not quantifiable or definable and is what it is in the mind that is aware of itself without thought.

Just attention without intention, just being without judgement, experiencing without bias, this the gate and hearing from the One in the silence, is not a hearing of the ears or brain, but a knowing, sometimes without words.

That image above maybe associated with a particular philosophy or faith and to me it means the gateway to the One and infinity. The passing from the world and its offerings into the silence of the soul.
