Courageous

Courageous, the one that finds that emptiness is the end of the road, or rather, the beginning of truth.

It takes inner balance and harmony to find that the world of form and movement is only an expression of that, what you are looking for : Your Self.

As such the world of expression is not the 'thing' that gives answers. More exactly it IS not there, quite literally, IT is exactly not there.

IT is where you cannot find it, not within the rules and laws of the world of form. It is beyond where it cannot be found.

What is beyond : you are.

It takes courage to face this truth, however it is simple, once it is accepted. LIFE flows from there on, simply. The zen heart knows, it has always known, the human heart discovers from the place of forgetfulness, but then again, with courage, continuity, determination, harmony, forgiveness the human heart will learn to become ONE with the zen heart, the divine heart of the strong 'human'.

Stillness from the 'soft-iron' movement of duality allows to find that 'golden' zen heart.

No Need to Understand

No need to understand. IT happens without knowing 'how' and 'why', all the time, continuous.

There is no worry, because IT knows who you are, what your most hidden needs and secrets are, as IT is within you, your inner essence, YOUR music, the original first thought that you are, your blueprint.

Because of that, it will wish you to become you again, in fullness of being, totality, so that you can safely come home. Why ? Because that is what you wish too, simple.

A silent yet awake ZEN mind hears this, sees this without learning it from books, it is instantly aware of the pathway to that place called 'home'.

The Activated ZEN mind is complete understanding from and to the silent space, the absolutely filled emptiness, that which is nameless in this world, yet the LIFE force here and now, that you are.

Smiling gentle, and watching, observing the painted scenery, the music that is being played and the flowers that grow, patiently allowing until your free will starts to see with clear eyes.

Practice of the ZEN Mind

From within the sacred stillness space

Stillness and silence are portals and those are trained and cherished in the practice of ZEN. This particular type of ZEN attitude is not linked to protocols, nor rituals, it is disconnected from peers, and concerns ONLY the sole practicioner, as it is in the sole blending of the personal frequency and the ZEN frequency that a new coherence will appear.

This cannot occur when one connects with other humans that have their own frequency and will as such, by that connection, alter your unique frequency.

You are invited to feel and know the above before understanding it with the mind.

As you will notice, any mind reflection on this, will stand in the way of truth.

Therefore any activation of the Zen Mind starts with allowing that you do not understand everything.

The Zen Mind/Heart

There is this space between the words, between the gaps of frequencies, the moment between the last audible sound in your ear and the next sound.

There, right there, when one gets the attention there for a focused moment, there is the other world.

That other world is also part of you, me, living things, and it is so healthy, so peaceful, zen, always there, everywhere. Activating the Zen Mind/Heart.

The Inner Nobility

Nobility – when internalized – is not a social status. It is even outdone of the outer structure and speaks a language that does not compare itself to any other but himself.

It is the highest form of noble attitude, as it is the most difficult to achieve. The hard work to become a noble person inside, without any recognition of it by any other than oneself, brings fruits of wisdom beyond the normal comprehension.

These values activate the cosmic wisdom, the intuition, the deeper knowings.

• He knows himself to be an eternal student
• He does not seek to enlighten others out of respect for them
• Will at all times recognize his inadequacy and his inabilities
• Understand that the true wisdom is seated in his soul-consciousness and seeks to rediscover that essence
• Knows that the voice of consciousness can only be heard in silence and withdrawal
• He leaves behind what insults the soul-consciousness
• Follows the inner guidance only, and ignores any other law that insults his consciousness
• Recognizes that intuition is outside of the frequential capacity of the logic mind
• Lives by the inner wealth-wisdom, knowing it can never be taken away
• Lives outside fear, doubt and despair, as he has accepted other values
• Understands that obedience and dependence divides, and that oneness unifies
• Knows that the path to inner nobility is narrow, without compromise and severe, however not difficult

True Zen-Warriors are aware of their inner judge, their inner consciousness that oversees every action without fail.

This inner judge becomes the living intuitive knowing that no other person can ever teach you.

Through intuition the eyes will pierce through all external matter, the ears will hear what is normally not audible. The inner senses awaken as the intuition activates.

The Quiet Center of Stillness

Inside yourself — within your Personal Inner Hologram — located at the core of your being ... is a place of stillness, emptiness, and peace.

You’ve known it to be there for your entire life, and perhaps you’ve largely ignored it. But now, times are changing for many of you ... You find yourself reaching out to that eternal stillness.

Upon first interaction with this place, your “regular” everyday mind says “there’s nothing there.” Your normal, logical, outward-oriented, educated, adult mind suggests that you simply ignore it — ignore the emptiness and stillness.

But, a deeper part of yourself is attracted to it, and I dare say ... it has already fallen in LOVE with the stillness. In fact, it has started to develop an intimate, personal, secret, one-on-one love affair with the stillness that exists at the very center of your being.

The power of love draws you to energetic merging and oneness with that which you loveAnd so, just as you would with anything you love, you cannot help but return to it, day after day, multiple times, thousands of times, year after year. You find yourself day dreaming about the thing you love, and how to get more of it. In this case, the “thing” you love and are captivated with is the vast, limitless area of stillness and emptiness, inside yourself.

Soon you start losing yourself in it ... dissolving yourself in it so to speak ... so that who you thought you were, is no longer present. Your personal history is erased. You float in the stillness for seconds, minutes — who knows how long? — you float in the timelessness that is native and natural to the inner realm of stillness.You notice that you are nothing and have not a shred of identity when you are floating in the emptiness of your Inner Cosmos.

But that, when you naturally flow back into the awareness of Creation, as you do so, you are spontaneously re-assembled into a familiar being and identity. Get it? That is called natural self-orchestration. It is always a mysterious, beautiful, magical thing.

The center of stillness inside you is the same center in meBut now — as said before — things have changed. You realize the place that you came from (the stillness and infinite emptiness) is actually the Mother-Father principle of the whole Grand Universe. Everything is flowing from it.

Your personal, intimate, inner place of stillness, is actually the same emptiness that exists in the atom and between the stars. It is the birthplace of you, me, our friends, the planet, the sun, our galaxy and Everything. You realize that it has a center (which is the emptiness and stillness that we've been discussing) that is EVERYWHERE ... and a circumference which is nowhere.

From this, you grow into the understanding that the center of stillness that is inside yourself, is the same center that is inside me. It is a center of stillness that is common to everyone.
