Cutting the grass,Adam and Eve,images.
Bismi'llah arRahman arRahim. There is no refuge from Allah but in Him.
Extraordinary really ...(non ordinary reality ...who said that?..in Don Juan wasn't it?..I mean Castaneda ...someone said it to Sheikh once and he said it was a very good expression.. I was a little surprised/interested..but then I suppose it was an accurate description he had heard, in a language not his own,for something that he experiences frequently!)..
What was extraordinary..?..The power of images I suppose I was thinking about.The 'reality' of Adam and Eve in the garden..living in perfection and then being thrown out after eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Is that where dual consciousness got split off from unitary consciousness?Isn't that the next big step for mankind?To get back to unitary consciousness..the constant awareness of Allah / God / Emptiness / Tao / Nirvana ..call it what you will.
It is that dualistic awareness that is the veil on our consciousness..we get lost in the illusory world as if this shadow show existed by itself .. as if things (and people) were autonomous ..isn't physics showing that things don't really exist by themselves and that what we see is just our way of looking at it?
Great paintings,great architecture inspired by and done for the sake of ,God..not the nonsense stuff we see nowadays inspired by and done as an expression of the sick ego or nafs.
Yes images.Even images of cutting the grass made me feel good..healthy memories..outside stuff..the smell of new mown hay. aaaah! oooh! mmmmm!
Well spring is here at last ..we go out for a go at selling some stuff to shops..see if it works before getting further involved ..
I've just been outside to look at the stars ..lovely clear night ..made me think about being in India .. want to be where ever I feel closer to God ..the night sky,the countryside and the sea always help with that ..everyone says that India .....
