Message From The Sun

Jan Michael Looking Wolf - Fire Dancer

A troop of Gibbons call across a shallow valley on a damp morning after a night of rain. A white-rumpped shama awakes. Recorded near Purut camp in the Danum valley reserve in Sabah, May 2017.

In this afternoon’s silent sitting with Moojibaba during the Rishikesh satsang season, we are given the opportunity to sit together in silence with the Master, and to be present and open.

“Each time it is completely new, but it is likely that at some intervals you might hear my voice. I won’t be speaking to your mind, so the best way to listen is just to be in a neutral, open space. Understanding will take place, a pointing will come to remind you. It is only in some way a synopsis and the quintessence of the pointings I have been making over these days.

Never mind the mind; there is nothing to fix or to change. You are already the Self — for a long time dreaming you are separate from the Self. Now you rest inside your own splendour. Sit inside your own radiance.”

Sit Inside Your Own Radiance ~ Silent Sitting with Mooji

2020 April - Stranger Days by Stephen Jenkinson

I don't know that there's merit to employing the beast - the internet - to disturb having grown accustomed to the beast.

It wasn't eight years ago that city people would come to the School here on the farm and look at me concernedly when they found out the hard way that I, as it is said, 'had no service'. Two weeks ago the Bell guy was up a pole on the lane at the behest of an erstwhile air b/b landlord, to install - I would say 'impose' - some kind of higher speed version of the beast, to make this rural area attractive to people who want to get away from it all. There's bound to be a pretty stout demand for well appointed places to get away from it all in the wake of all this distancing.
Maybe this virus is a disturbance in the Fentanyl supply. Maybe the internet is the slickest methadone yet, keeping hale and hearty the mania for empty engagement, for the vacant calories of content.
I won't claim that there's loads of requests for more from me, on this or any other subject. There isn't.
I've never been on the other personal devices, or platforms, or anything else. Don't know how to activate them.

This is as compromised a move as I seem capable of, social media wise. Not very sophisticated, but earnest.
Here's an ad hoc meeting of the farm crew, issuing proof of what they're mindful of while forking hay and picking out the poison ivy roots and milking the ewes.
I did my best on short notice. We'd like something here to be useful to your ruminations, before the horn blows and your rumination time is cut short.

Bless. Work. Repeat. That's what we're up to.
Good fortune to your door.
