| Elemental, this word is a sign post. It points towards | | | | I use the word Elemental as a signpost to remind me |
| what the mystics have searched for. It's the | | | | to live in my element; from that place the universe |
| formless form. It's the first moment beyond the | | | | becomes whole. It is no longer "my" element; it |
| moment. It's pure Truth; it's that one total aware | | | | becomes the elemental nature of the universe that all |
| experience; when you not only live in the stream, | | | | of us share. When we live with that level of |
| you become the stream. It's the place where all | | | | awareness at all times everything is complete. Not |
| things exist. It is the True nature of the universe. | | | | only does our life align with our True passion but we |
| Living in alignment with this nature; we are all tied to | | | | also live from a place that is compassionate and |
| this. When we live from this place we truly see, and | | | | wholehearted. |
| all things are let go. Yet, this is not something that | | | | You can work really hard to learn about this, you can |
| can be sought after; the seeking only leads to | | | | read all the books on God, the Universe, Buddhism, |
| further separation. Even these words are empty, | | | | Christ Consciousness, Taoism, Mindfulness, and |
| they are only pointing; they are a boat to be left | | | | Quantum Physics, but ultimately you would be served |
| behind once you reach the other side. | | | | much better to simply listen to the nature within |
| These words can seem very paradoxical. It is very | | | | yourself. As the authority on your own life all the |
| difficult to talk about Truth, not truth as in relative | | | | spiritual books in the world will only lead you back to |
| facts "the sky is blue, etc" but Truth. It's like telling | | | | what you already know. |
| some one to truly see, we always see with our eyes | | | | There is nothing that you have to do. Chasing, |
| all the time so people become confused. True seeing | | | | seeking, searching, are all useless. There is nothing |
| goes beyond. It is to be entirely in the moment, so | | | | wrong with mental stimulation to help show you |
| when you do see, you become seeing; there is no | | | | signs, but ultimately it would serve you more to |
| past, there is no future, there is no subject, there is | | | | simply calm the mind and listen to your true nature. |
| no object, and there is no mind. | | | | The nature beyond the ego, beyond right and wrong, |
| To practice Zen is to experience every moment in | | | | and beyond likes and dislikes. |
| this way; completely and fully aware yet with no | | | | All suffering in life is made manifest by lack of living |
| roots. It is to live from a place that goes beyond and | | | | from this place. When you have problems don't try |
| transcends preconceived notions; where every | | | | to stick a band aid on it, go back, go way back to |
| moment is peaceful and you are a snowflake within | | | | the real cause. If you live in your Element every |
| the fire. This doesn't mean that you become cold to | | | | moment of every day and experience your True |
| emotions; it simply means that you are completely | | | | Self, it will end suffering on all levels. |
| immersed in the moment with out being attached. | | | | |
