be a lighthouse...

Morning at Heceta Head Light- 

Oregon Coast Watercolor Painting Print 

by Michael David Sorensen. 

Lighthouse Watercolor. Pacific Northwest

~ Mooji
"I am not a library, 
I am a lighthouse.
You have to attune yourself 
to my vibration.
Don't bother studying me.
Just tune in and soon 
you will discover 
the vibration of the Self.
To try and study takes a long time.
If you tune in, you actually expand 
a hundred times faster than studying, 
but it requires a trusting 
and a letting go -
the thing your mind is most afraid of."
 from the book "White Fire"

Don't save anything, including you.

"Don't save anything, including you.
This is the purpose of these conversations:
to flick out, to flush out, to scrape out
the last little bits of nonsense from inside.
Sometimes you think there is only a little thing to remove,
but it's all of you that needs to be scraped out!
This is the kind of emptiness I am talking about.
Here, you have already touched base;
you have no opinion,
no need for privacy or specialness.
The beautiful thing is that
the more you remove, the more you are.
This is the major scam you have to get out of.
The more you think you are losing,
the more in fact you are discovering
of your real Self, which is limitless.
You are exchanging this small ego-identity
for the immeasurable.
Otherwise, it's like you are hiding God...
but from whom?
God cannot be hidden.
All this is God's dream."
~ Mooji ą„Beloved Master

jump into the ocean of your own being...

"You say the mind is blocking the Self.
Can the mind block the Self?
What watches blocked mind?
Is there anything that the mind is blocking that you need to see?
You are always reporting about what you are looking at, 
but the important things is: Where are you looking from?
And who are you looking as?
This is your moment to look from This as This itself."

The great Saint Frances of Assisi said:
"What we are looking for is where we are looking from."

Rumi also said: "I was knocking at a door. It opens.
I was knocking from inside."
 
"I am not here giving you 10 steps to follow.
I am pointing you to the stepless truth.
You must discover THAT inside yourself.
I point you to That, where you can never not be.
Something has brought you to this.
Here is your opportunity, an invitation
 to jump into in the ocean of your own being, 
which is here and now—your very Self.
Your part, our part from my view is to say inside your heart:
Yes, take me!
Yes, replace me with You. Merge my mind in You.
And this ‘You’ is who?
The Satguru within your own Self.
It is not a person. It is not an object.
Then you will know that this is your mighty existence!"

we are slowly melting, and merging with Love...

"Your life used to belong to you -
 at least you had this feeling.
But now it is belonging to God, 
and you are slowly melting and merging...
At a certain point you will disappear.
When you disappear, 
unexpectedly you will find 
you are fully here in the most alive way.
This is the mystery, 
a paradox 
that the mind will not understand easily.
Trust is the key.
Stay open.
Live with a 'yes' inside your Heart for all that is true."

Light workers unite...

"Be empty. Be light.
Drop the luggage of a personal self
 along with its self-centered projections, 
so that you can feel again 
the simplicity and Holiness of your original Being. 
When the mind becomes light again, all the angels, 
all the heavenly Beings are rejoicing. 
You can feel the presence of them inside.
All are singing hallelujah to the Truth."
~ Mooji

~)(~

By sitting quietly, and allowing the wheel of the mind
 to grind slowly to a complete halt, we can once again 
(and again and again!) 
experience our original state of Holiness.
Holiness is always there waiting for us.
World arises with thought.
When thought subsides, Holiness is there.

continue merging in Source...

"My Love, continue 
merging in the source. 
Yours is a great calling.
You are discharging your river 

of names and forms 
into the nameless ocean 
of pure Being. 
In doing so, others 
can witness and taste, 
through you, 
the light, 
joy, 
wisdom, 
love and peace, 
which they have heard 
only as a rumour 
until now."

find and feel your Heart again...

"One's destination is never a place
 but rather a new way of looking at things."
~ Henry Miller

~)(~

"To live with your head at the Master's feet 
is to live on top of the world. 
This has been my own experience.
Surrender yourself and keep quiet inside your Being.
Don't worry about anything in this world 
and your eyes shine bright again.
 Your heart becomes open, clear and pure. 
TRUST.
As you move, Grace goes ahead of you.
She is there even before you take your first step
and walks with you along the way.
Therefore, lay down your arms.
Lay down all your techniques and your efforts
so that you may discover the effortless Silence.
Know that the whole universe is supporting your awakening.
Neither doubt nor fear. All is well.
Take rest.
Find and feel your Heart again."
~ Mooji

Being vs becoming Being...

"The Self
is the one thing you can discover,
not by travelling miles,
but by being very still
 inside your own being
 and saying to the Supreme,
“Yes, absorb me.” "
~ Mooji

~)(~

"There are no separate selves;
 there is just the mass consciousness
having the notion/s of separate selves.
We already are absorbed in the Supreme Self, 
but we are asleep and dreaming that we are individual selves.
We already ARE the Ocean,
but dreaming of being waves on the ocean,
or perhaps thinking we are droplets of water.
Even a droplet of water having a peaceful dream
of being a "spiritual" individual
as opposed to other droplets who are lesser evolved
 is still dreaming of separation..."

how much me is necessary?

Q. How much "me" is necessary?
A. Just enough to not step in front of a bus.

don't play ping-pong with your mind...stay as the Self.

"Don't play ping-pong with your mind.
Simply stay as the detached witnessing presence.
Observe that when left alone, mind calms down by itself.
But don't wait for this to happen.
Just stay as the unmixed presence.
Perceive without interest or identity.
Stay as the Self."
~ Mooji

throw out the old tenant called ego...

"The purpose of life is not merely to satisfy mind’s projections.
Though we imagine such a life would be a happy one, 
it would not be a good life.
You waste your life pursuing the wind.
But to dedicate one's life to Truth, that is tremendous.
And it is a choice prompted by the Heart itself.
One prays from the Heart,
'Let this life be one with its source.'
Offer this house so that it is used in service to God
and thus become a temple of light.
Throw out the old tenant called ego.
You will never go back and say,
 'Oh, I no longer want God to be here.
It was better when the devil was here.'

No, you will never regret this."

defenselessness is falling upwards into the embrace of the Living God...

(via his facebook  page)

I am going to tell you something now that you don't hear very often in the world,
and I use myself as an example for you.
If you want to go all the way, give up the sense that you have any rights in life.
Have no right at all. Have no rights for anything.
Then everything is a gift.
When you don't deserve anything, everything is a gift.
Just try.
Just for you. Okay?
This is not a political decision.
Give up this sense that you have rights, that life owes you something, and feel the space that remains. Maybe, initially, you will feel vulnerability like, 'Oh my God, I can't stand up for my rights. I will be abused.' But go beyond this feeling.
Sacrifice it for a greater truth.
You must begin to think with your God-mind.
God does not have rights.
God does not need any rights.
You have to be like God.
Give up this sense you have rights.
You wish to go all the way?
Give up pride also.
Give up future too.
If you give up future, you give up past also.
Just for you. You don't have to tell anybody.
And give up this dependency, 'Who will be here for me?'
And give up projections such as, ‘Yes, in two years time
I will be in a solid relationship and I will own my own apartment.’
There is nothing so great about that.
It just keeps you being a sucker.
You don't want to be a sucker.
There is greater than this to come.
You miss the full adventure and power
that comes from the Holy spirit if you start to choose for yourself.
If you feel to choose for yourself, He will leave you to choose for yourself.
But as soon as you give up this sense of rights; if you say,
'You give me the sense of choice. You are my choice,'
then something else will happen.
In the world nobody tells you this.
There you have to be proud and say, 'Listen, I have rights!'
When I have rights, the world has done me a lot of wrongs.
Give up pride.
Pride in being a woman.
Pride in being beautiful.
Pride in being accomplished in something.
Pride that you are a certain race, religion or nation.
Give up all of these things.
They belong to the devil.
They don't belong to you.
And experience what remains.
A great space will open inside your Heart.
Huge humility.
Huge acceptance, love, wisdom and freedom
as you experience integration with the cosmic being.
And no force on earth can manipulate or bind you, 
because you have made yourself empty of all that makes a 'person'.
Why think it is so great to be a person?
For a while we have to taste that state of personhood,
but there must come a time when you return to purity.
Come back to your purity, your original being!
You ask, ‘How?’
Collapse at God's feet. This is no ordinary fall. 
It is not falling down.
It is falling upwards into the embrace of the Living God.

who is a good friend...

"We grew up with the sayings, 
‘New friends are silver, old friends are gold’ 
and, ‘Friends are there when you need them’.
Sometimes your best friends
 are those who are not there when you need them. 
Because then you have to go beyond need 
and you will find something much more profound 
than the comfort your mind seeks.
The most powerful things that happens sometime 
comes with much pain. 
You know by your own insight 
that you are just right 
where you are."

invitation to the bonfire...

Everybody is invited to this bon fire.
Throw all your questions.
Throw all the answers as well.
Throw all your cares.
Have that much courage.
Say I have no time for answers anymore.
Put everything into this fire.
And do it now also.
This is the instant way.
Throw everything now.
No practice,
No philosophy.
But who can do it, you see?
Be willing to be completely empty.
Don't even be a woman.
Don't be a seeker.
Don't be anything.
Don't say any more prayers.
Don't chant any more mantras.
Don't go on any more pilgrimages.
Leave everything, 
because up till now even your seeking is an avoidance, 
another excuse of your mind not to discover the ever-present truth.
Our minds want to say a lot about truth.
But nothing it says is true.
You are here before the mind.
You know it's ways.
This is why I say
throw everything in the fire right now.
It seems very drastic, my words,
but they are totally powerful.
Why keep walking around with the mind on your back?
Put him down and walk away free.

the chance to live a miraculous life...

"You have to see and meet God in this life.
Don’t let this life go by and miss discovering the Supreme One.
You will find him inside as your constant being.
Pray: Holy mother, holy father, holy spirit,
don’t give me the illusion that even one second belongs to me.
All is you. I, also, am you and yours.
For only like this 
does your life stand the chance to be miraculous."

timelessness and joy vs time and suffering...

(facebook link)

"I cannot relate to you as if you are someone with a problem.
That’s just too much of a miserable state for me.
If I do, I actually reinforce and perpetuate an identity 
in you that causes you continuous suffering.  
Nobody should want to go there with you.
Only by not supporting your delusion, will you hopefully come out of it. 
But I cannot guarantee.
Why this loyalty to your time-bound identity 
when you could remain joyfully in your timelessness?
If your master relates to you on the level of delusion, 
you are in master-trouble."

Self-absorption...

"How joyous it is to witness a human being recognising the real Self 
and merging with It. When the tribal or personal mind is absorbed 
in the universal Self, the human being is transformed from person to presence 
and is again in harmony as wholeness. This is the real Yoga.
The universal mind is open and boundless 
whereas the tribal mind is full of delusions. On the surface, 
the illumined one may appear to belong to some tribe also 
but is inwardly the impersonal reality. Just as the journey of a caterpillar 
is completed when it changes into a butterfly, 
Satsang is the changing room 
where the person changes back to its true nature."

allow yourself to fall away from the shape of your mind...

"There is a peace that does not go.
It does not want to go and it does not want to stay.
It has no place to go. It Is.
It has no appointments to be somewhere else.
Allow yourself to fall away from the shape of your mind.
Fall inside the shapeless.
But don’t ask how."

body, mind, Heart, Truth...what is your identity?

"When man looks for experience he becomes the body.
When he looks for knowledge he becomes the mind.
When he looks for God he becomes the Heart.
When he looks for Truth he becomes Nothing."
