Woke at 3:15 AM
Decided to sit
Strong visualization arose
I am soft clay
Slowly, slowly
Layers of clay are removed
Until
Only
Presence
Remains

Peeking at Peaks
Glimpses
Of All-That-Is
Makes us
Hungry
For
More
Is this Grace from
Outside
That allows us to See
Is this work from
Inside
That allows us to See
Is there really an Ouside or Inside
Or is there simply
All-That-Is
Source
Playing its game
Our poor animal minds
Trying to discern
That Grand Design
Trying to discern
The rules
The correct path
Often
After years of
Searching
Practices
Of this
And that
We give it all up
And by dropping
Our search
The veil lifts
And
We
Become
Truth

Metta, Blessing the Patient, Presence and Intuition
My wife and I were on a very relaxed bicycling trail ride yesterday. She related to me that recently after giving an energy or massage session, she holds the client’s head with her fingers over the third eye and intones:
“May you be safe; May
you be healthy; May you be happy; May you live with ease.”
I usually use Metta either as a meditation practice or in
some situation where I don’t know what else to offer. But, I had always practiced Metta in silence.
What my wife was doing was blessing the patient at the end
of the session.
Interesting!
What came up for me is as a physician is that perhaps we
need to do this after every clinical session, with every patient How would that change our practice of medicine!
I would probably get complaints from both my fundamentalist,
and my atheist, patients.
I have prayed with patients on a few occasions, when they have
asked me to pray with them, always, within a Christian paradigm.
Good practice for a child of Jewish Holocaust
survivors!
Larry Dossey is a physician who writes about the use of nondenominational
prayer in medicine. He describes:
Era 1 medicine as mechanical medicine, dealing only with the
body.
Era 2 medicine connected the body and the mind.
Era 3 medicine is where we realize that consciousness is not
confined to the mind-body, where we realize that consciousness is
“non-local.”
(Yay, another heretic MD!).
But how could we change the practice of medicine if we
taught use of nondenominational prayer, along with presence and intuition, as
part of medical school education? Many
of us do this. But it is usually taught
“on the side,” to select groups of students, under the right
circumstances.
We are moving in this direction. I am not sure when we will get to Era 3
medicine as central to our teachings in allopathic medicine.
I will again send a plea to the non-local universe for
adopting Ken Wilber’s Integral Model as the basic map for medical school
education.
We will get to Era 3 medicine. I have no doubt.
Just seems to be taking a bit too long for my liking.
Guess it is time to go meditate on:
Accepting
this world just as it is.
Realizing
it will change.
And, being
fully present, will influence that change.

Who Becomes a Seeker?
Who becomes dissatisfied with the world
Just as it appears to most
Why find a path
That leads to the pain
Of transcending the ego
Who takes the study
Asking Who Am I?
The path of science
The path of humor
The path of worshiping the Guru
Why do you want to do this?
When you could be out there
Happy in your ignorance
Making money
Having sex
Well you don’t have to give up money or sex
But your relationship to money and sex will change
Seekers require Truth
Seekers need to bathe in Truth
Doesn’t mean you can’t be bathed in science at the same time
But Truth encompasses everything
Including science
Nothing is excluded from Truth
All-That-Is
And
All-That-Is-Not

Learning
How do we learn
The new?
Is the information
Really already there?
We can memorize facts
We can organize facts into
Concepts
Organized facts
Are easier to remember
But
Is there a
Deeper knowledge?
Beyond facts
Beyond concepts
Resting within
This being
Resting within
Everything

Seeing Perfection
Once you have seen
Perfection
The continued work is seeing Perfection
Ever more clearly
Perhaps, creating additional
“Fingers pointing at the moon”
To help others:
1-See
Perfection for the first time.
2-See Perfection ever more clearly.
3-See Perfection ever more
continuously.
Drop the Inner Critic
“Who are you
to think you can see Perfection?”
“Who are you
to think you can teach seeing Perfection?”
Please avoid creating another religion
Avoid creating other –isms
By following the three commandments in strict order:
1-There is
only one Source.
2-Love
everything.
3-Enjoy yourself.

The End of this Blog?
OK. So I gave you the
“Final Secret” yesterday. Don't hurt
yourself with it!
Maybe, it is time to hang up my Blog?
Nahhh!
I just feel the need to keep on writing. There is always something more to say. Poetry to be written. Photography to hand out to the Universe. Rants to go off on!
Most importantly to remember, no one is completely
Enlightened. This is a process that
continues to unfold. If you think that
you are done, you are fooling yourself.
That is your ego getting in the way.
I am not done writing until each and every one of you is
Enlightened!
So, I will never be done.
I feel humble before it All.
And there is no “I,” anyway.
(Oh, stop talking in Paradoxes! And, how many of you are in there anyway?)
Really, if there is any topic of particular of interest to
you, shoot me an email or make a comment.
Too bad we have to use words, this is a very poor method of
communicating Truth.
“Fingers pointing at the moon.”
Oh well, this is the best I can do under these
circumstances.
Be-ing human, Do-ing human.
So I will continue to Blog.
Maybe we will visit together some day. Then we can practice resonance together.
It will be fun!
Until then, thanks for coming along for the ride.
