Wuji / Taiji

Wuji is the essential root and essence. Without the root there is no tree, no expression.  From the perspective of Wuji, essence and expression are One.  Expression can not exist without essence, the ground of Being, though the ground of Being is always present whether expression is happening or not. The expression (Taiji) happens as a wave, a dance of dualities, on infinite levels, from the infinitesimally small to the infinitesimally large... always in and as the infinite and timeless wholeness that is.

= is the bridge to Shiva.

A quiescent mind reveals the natural splendor and wholeness that eternally Is.

Bhoga vs. Yoga

Bhoga is enjoyment and pleasure derived through the body and senses which is by nature temporary and fleeting.  With bhoga as one's primary goal one continues the cycle of karma, and therefore further perpetuates the cycle of birth and death.

Yoga is union with the Self / Consciousness / Spirit (call It what you may) that is both pervading the bodily form and senses, their source and support, and is at the same time transcendent of them.  Instead of seeking for lasting fulfillment through and in the senses, the yogi discovers that lasting joy and fulfillment naturally arise through devotion to the unbounded Self / Spirit within and pervading all.  

Raga is attachment to that which is pleasant to the senses.  Dvesha is aversion to that which is unpleasant to the senses.  To one whose primary focus is bhoga, raga and dvesha rule and one lives in continual bondage to them.  Though for the one whose primary focus is yoga, raga and dvesha no longer rule and one comes into Their own true power, allowing this human life and expression to happen naturally in a greater freedom and wholeness, fulfilled in and as the Self.

The Way of the Yogi

Regardless, there will always be ones that criticize and ones that praise, ones that complain and ones that appreciate, and so on... this is the nature of the dualistic mind. Whether it be your mind or another's, don't mind the mind, it will do what it does. Whether it is praise or blame, remain unmoved, seated and established in the non-dual center, present in the hearts of all.

Rainbow World

Rainbow world... I AM HERE.

Rainbow world... Glimmering and shining in all it's splendor... I AM HERE.

Rainbow world... Nothing to grasp or hold onto... I AM HERE.

Rainbow world, rainbow body, rainbow mind... All arising, sustained, and dissolving in the infinite and formless sky... I AM HERE.

Rainbow world has come and gone... I AM HERE.

Surrender

Let go of all ideas about the world... Let go of all ideas about oneself... Even let go of the idea of someone who is letting go. 

Impermanence

Coming and going... Coming and going... Everything is coming and going. Rest fully as That which is not coming and going. Everything is still coming and going, though now you do not mistake your Self to be coming and going. Everything (thoughts, emotions, sensations, breath, body, and all experience) arises and passes away in Your Presence, and in Your Infinite Being. You are present in the hearts of all, and all is present in You.
