Purity
Steve Sufian Feb 2019
.



We get tested:

Can we let this go and not mind?

Can we be challenged and not anger?

Can we share and not feel proud?



Fill with Love and Joy,

No room for anger, greed, hate, fear, arrogance?



We are passing many tests:

Thank you to our helpers and our Helper!

Thank You!

Satisfying.

With Omnipresent, All-Pervading Love and Joy,

We are happy

But only with Total Restoration of Awareness

Are we Satisfied.

One is a Quorum For Fun.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Nothing to discuss,

No controversies to consider–

Just look around and within,

Listen around and within,

Taste,

Touch,

Smell,

Sixth sense and Nth Sense:



Hallelujah! Here is Fun.



Within the little one and within the One!

Hallelujah! Here is Fun.

Playful.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
We are getting good at being responsible yet playful,

Not taking ourselves too seriously,

Enjoying jokes and being teased.



At a deeper level, we are getting good at experiencing our Total Self,

Self of All Beings,

Not just the individual self that chats and plays, works and prays, with a single name.



And this Self is definitely Playful: Smiling, Twinkling, Humming.

Expressing Itself–Our Self–in Dancing Streams of Golden Joy,

High-Pitched Whistles of Cavorting Delight,

Roaring Swooshes of Oceanic Tides.



Definitely supporting our everyday self,

Definitely giving us Experience so we know What’s What

And take our daily life responsibly but lightly: seriously but lightly.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Shimmering,

Glimmering,

Dancing and Striding,

Moseying, Meandering,

Laughing and Smiling:



Us! One! Us!

Leaving Shadows Behind.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Empty space is really Consciousness,
Dark sky is really Light hiding.

All is Beauty,
Bringing Joy to our hearts,
Our thoughts,
Our individuality;

Bringing Joy, Appreciation, Gratitude, Love.

Awakening!
Bringing Joy that is Love,
Joy that is Love.

Parting the Sea.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
God gives us the power to part the sea that dwells between us and Freedom.

It is God that Parts the Sea

But we must raise our hands, as Moses did,

As Moses did.

Suddenly!
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Walking, smiling along a nice tree-lined street,

Seeing a movie with part of my mind of how my day will unfold,

Thinking about the movie with another part of my mind: Suddenly!

I am completely Joyous Transparency– edgeless, boundless, no connection with body, movie, thoughts, completely outside the body.

“Can I really be unbounded, edgeless, eternal?” I think.

My Transparency swells in golden light,

Creates a golden tube, makes a corner, turns around behind my head and looks through my eyes at My Self. How Glorious!

Within a little while–not long, maybe a few months, definitely not more than a few years–

My Transparency and My Golden Fullness are always together, at least while I’m awake,

And I experience My Self as Omnipresent, All-Pervading, Love and Joy:

How Glorious! How Marvelous! How Delightfully Simple to Know who I Am!

How normal!

Thank you to my teacher, to all who help me live a good life and to live a better and better one!

Thank You!

Thank You!

Clearing the Path.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Rags and soap,

Shovels and hope,

Snowploughs, bulldozers, rock salt

Clear the asphalt.



Love, gratitude, forgiveness

Clear our heart.

Success.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Waking refreshed: Success!

Listening to the birds and the breeze and water running through pipes: Success!



Rested and alert: Definitely successful!

Definitely!
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Enlightenment is Total Fulfillment, nothing left out.

Enlightenment is Full Restoration of Awareness, Awareness that we are One without a Second.



Perfect Health means Perfect! Not even the teeniest pain or clog in our body.



Immortality is our birthright–our individual bodies are impulses of the Eternal, Never beginning, never ending.



Now! Let’s do this Now!

Pando: "I Spread Out".
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Pando is a forest, a single organism of Quaking Aspen trees,

Cloned from a single male aspen.

It occupies 100 acres in the Fishlake National Forest of Utah.



It may be 80,000 years old; it may be a million.

Its life is threatened by human carelessness.



We, too, spread out and through harmony with Nature,

Love and care for each other,

Have the chance to function as a single symphony,

A single organism,

And live thousands, millions, billions of years together as One.



Let’s continue trying!

Love in Detail
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Not just a smile that captures the eye,

But food on the table–love in detail.



Not just the Ocean of Shimmering Bliss

But fondly embracing this Drop and This.



Master of Wisdom, of Order, of Play,

Creating each thought, each Hip! Hip! Hooray!,



Fulfilling whatever we create in our Mind,

When we Hide and we seek, we Find! Yes, We Find!



All-Pervading, Omniscient, Omnipotent,

Omni-Loving, Omni-Joyful–



Not just a smile that captures the eye

But food on the table, Love in Detail.

Food on the table Love in Detail.

Beyond Greatest.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Not just moving up a ladder but getting to the intelligence of which the ladder is made.



Not just climbing the Tree of Life higher and higher

But getting to the Sap, the Intelligence of which the Tree is made.



And this is Joy–our own Self–All.

All.

All.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Golden streams of our Awareness

Express the Playfulness Inherent–

Words are a Gift to share in the play

And return, expand to Wholeness.

Growing Up
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
Grown up is a big deal: Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent.

And within these: Omni-Joyful, Omni-Loving.



This is Grown Up: One Without a Second.



But

We are growing up:

Nurturing our knowledge, our skills, our range, our joy, our loving kindness.



And our Real Self Blesses us with Approval,

Bringing us Delight in the Pathless Path.
Steve Sufian Jan 2019
This Omnipresent Golden Whiteness Shimmers with our Joyful Faces,

Restoring Love to our needy world,

Restoring Intelligence to our daily routine,

Restoring confidence to our adventures

Healing all in need of healing,

Fulfilling all nobility,

Serenading, Celebrating, Enjoying.

Serenading, Celebrating, Enjoying.

The Last in the First.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Can we find Zee in Ahhh? Z in A?

Perhaps in Ahhhh! the Cosmic Hum, the Cosmic Sigh of Contentment;

Perhaps in Totality that has no beginning and no end,

In which all sequence is also simultaneity

And all structures are found in each.

A good experience to have more fully, more clearly.

Meanwhile: Ahhhh! let us zip around the golden stripes of the Golden Zebra of Consciousness.

Zip around and un-zip the zipper that keeps the veil of ignorance intact.

Open the veil and See!

Open the veil and Be!

Open the veil.

Annointed.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Not just kings or the Messiah,

We each annoint our self

To set an example,

To lead wherever we are.

We create a good influence

Based on our experience

Of the Kingdom of Heaven Within Us,

Of the Stillness within which we know God

And the lovely peace that gathers around Christmas

Gathers every day,

Every moment.

We annoint our world

And everywhere and every when

Is Silent, Lively, Holy.

Seasons Greetings!

Happy New Year!

This moment and every moment.

This and every,

Now and Always–

Happy New Year.

Dream Supreme
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Nothing little, only the finest, most delicate, refined beyond perception;

Nothing big, only the Supreme within Whom all streams of life exist and grow.



We dream and lightly, gently, firmly, innocently

Act to fulfill our dream.



And we experience a solid helping of it Now!

And more each moment.



Thank you, all who help us to dream the Most

And who give us the skill to act to fulfill the dream.



Especially, Thank You, Supreme!

Thank You!

Never Grow Old.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Grow up, yes.

Old, no.



Possible?

There are stories.



Veda Vyasa, Hanuman, Ashvattama,

Vibishina, Kripa, Parashararama, and Bali

Are immortal according to the Vedic Tradition.



Other traditions have a list, too.



Let’s be optimistic: let’s consider the lists are true.



Can there be immortality for me and you?



Sure. God can grant anything, just like that!

God can also show us ways to develop it.



Do we want it?



With Enlightenment, and Perfect Health it makes a great combination.



Let’s go for it!

Beginning yesterday!
Dec 2018 · 131
Whoopee! Wahoo! Hallelujah!
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Once an occasional sudden feeling–

Now the all-time reality.



Once an unexpected sight of beauty,

An unexpected win,

A windfall.



Now ordinary life.

How extraordinary is ordinary life!

Whoppee! Wahoo! Hallelujah!
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Greenhouse warms plants,

Green home warms us,

Love’s Green Home spreads Universal Love

To all plants, houses, homes.

Mountain Range.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
We honor the blessings we’ve received when we connect to all mountains, do not attempt to stand alone.



We act with virtue to enjoy the full range, from smaller than the smallest to greater than the greatest.



We connect ourself, innocently, to the Self within our individuality and to the Self, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omni-Joyful, Omni-Loving.

We are happy to be one among many

And to open ourself to One, to All-in-All.

We are very happy!

Refreshing Rain.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
During a drought, plants exude oils into the dry soil;

During a rain, the soil and plants are refreshed, the oil released and the scent of the oil refreshes us, too.



Similarly, if a drought has occurred for our personality, our healthy routine spreads happiness into our thoughts, feelings and actions;



When we transcend all detail, the transcendence is a rain that releases Infinite Happiness into every detail of our life.



Stay with the program, the healthy routine!

Stay with the healthy routine.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
It’s Christmas Season, sweetness, joy and friendliness begin to shine and flow.

So lovely! We begin to remember, to know

That we are made of Love and Joy,

We are sweet children of God, not just toys.



And so we get on the channel and place an ad saying:



“Hello, God, We’re glad You’re Great! Supreme! One and Only!

Thank You, God!

Thank You.

32 is Fulfillment.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Thirty-two teeth in our bodies,

Thirty-two virtues of Buddha,

Thirty-two paths of Kabbalah (wisdom tradition),

Thirty-two plus 1, the age of Jesus at crucifixion,

Thirty-two, the life-span of Shankara.



Thirty-two is Fulfillment.

62 Miles: Amazing!
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Our Earth’s atmosphere lifts a winged plane that high;

Beyond that, rockets are needed. We’re in space.



Inside our mind,

Our Consciousness lifts our thoughts to the surface;

Below the surface we have only a feeling, a guess.



We are in Inner Space.



Settling in,

Letting go,

Opening ourselves to Grace,

We begin to swim in Pure Consciousness,

The Source of our thoughts–



We begin to experience the mechanics through which our thoughts arise,

Within Lively Silence expressing Itself–our Self–with increasing dynamism.



We begin to know who we Are.

Amazing!
Dec 2018 · 124
Opening the Door.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Opening the door to our heart,

Opening the Door to the Temple,

Showing our self a Seat in our Self,

Teaching ourself a Song of Glory.



Little by little,

We usher our dreams to Fulfillment,

And as we do,

Fulfillment likes our song, our style,

And Rushes In.

Revealing the Sacred.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
The Divine is all there is: Beauty, Love and Joy, Wholeness.

It is never hidden but we may be lost in parts of it,

Aiming only for a potato, a sock, a few dollars or a million,

Forgetting the Full Meal, the Full Clothing, The Infinite Treasury.



When, by Grace, we begin to remember,

We begin to share,

To reveal the Sacred Everywhere,

Consecrating our World.

Flowers in the Meadow.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Sweet green grass,

Gentle wind,

Red, blue, orange flowers in the meadow.



We stroll smiling through the grass,

Gently loved by the blades,

We enter the grove of elms and oaks:

Silence! Lovely Silence!



Silence to our ears

Brings Silence to our mind, our heart:

Our body is filled with Golden, Overflowing Silence,

Inside Silence merging with Outer Silence,

Revealing Our Omnipresent, All-Pervading, Lively Silence,

Silence of Universal Joy, of Universal Love:



Ahhh!
Dec 2018 · 122
Dawn.
Steve Sufian Dec 2018
Within the Timeless,

Always Shining,

The Play of Boundaries Hides the Sun,

Eternal Light.



The Game is Hide, Reveal.

The Game is Hide and Seek,

Then Find.



Now is sunrise, dawn,

Of Full Sunshine.



Soon is Noon–All Light, No shadow.



Very soon!

Hallalujah!
Steve Sufian Nov 2018
Delightful rivers of golden bliss flow from the soles of my feet to my head,

Twirl within my head and go through my arms to my palms.

They become golden spheres of bliss,

Repeatedly leaping back and forth from palm to palm,

Expanding into rivers and flowing through my whole body of bliss, of light,

Overflowing into my Cosmic Physiology and my Omnipresent Bliss and Love.



Ahhh!
Nov 2018 · 211
Real.
Steve Sufian Nov 2018
In the moment.

Living within resources.

Guiding our dream with experience.



Real.



But to be more real,

Ideal,

We need to dip below the surface,

Dip through the rind of life into the fruit and the juice.

Dip beneath the flesh, blood, bone,

The wood, earth, stone,

Into the Intelligence within which rind and juice exist,

Within which all dreams are fulfilled

As our highest dream is fulfilled:

To Be One with the One Intelligence that is All–

To Remember! To Be!

Cottage on Wall Street.
Steve Sufian Nov 2018
A Bed and Breakfast half-a-block from the Stock Exchange;

Prices and service like those of rural Upstate New York.

Quaint!



But is it real?

Realer than we might think: $107 a night is a price for B&B service in a hotel close to the Market. Upstate rural NY doesn’t do much better.



Could it be more real?

Perhaps not as a cottage but as a room in someone’s apartment close to the Stock Exchange.

The spirit of sharing that is the Internet at its best

Also shows up in time shares, apartment exchanges, and day-to-day room rental in someone’s home, treated like a member of the family–except for the payment.



As life grows more and more civilized,

We see more signs of people behaving with love, kindness, courtesy;

We see more signs of life all around us having the cozy quality of a rural cottage,

More and more plants growing in the midst of asphalt.



We see love and kindness becoming more Universal,

The fundamental way everyone treats everyone.



We certainly have a way to go

But we are doing are best as individuals here and there

To make our world, our Planet Earth,

Into a Home for everyone,

A neighborly neighborhood,

A family,

A community.



Little by little!

Little by little~

Each cycle of Timeless goes forward and back simultaneously–

Bi-cycling.

Memory of the Past,

Plan for the Future,

Join in this Moment,

In every This Moment.



Joy is the Nature of Totality,

Love is the Nature of Totality,

Enjoying Our Self, The One,

Healing all the roles in which we have hidden Totality.



Love and Joy forever cycling while also not moving.



Eternal Delight.

Eternal Delight!

Welcome.
Steve Sufian Nov 2018
We are lucky,

We are blessed–

We have more than we need,

Enough to share.



We welcome friends,

Family,

Strangers,

Donate to good causes–



Nature welcomes us,

We welcome all of Nature.

All!
Steve Sufian Nov 2018
Simplify,

Simplify,

Simplify–

As a habit,

Simplify.



And within the simple,

We find the delight of the complex,

The indescribable delight of points and streams of detail,

Within which we find more points and streams.



But only once we’ve simplified.

And then!

Ahhh, then!

Please do this NOW!
