“There is no God. But there is you. And you ARE. You ARE. You are the very God you have been conjuring up. ‘I exist’ is the only universal permanent self-evident experience of everyone. Nothing else is so self-evident as ‘I AM.’ I AM is all there is. In the beginning, before we even created the mind, I AM. I AM is above the mind so you must literally get out of your mind in order to remember what you have labeled ‘God.’”
—Ramana Maharshi (1879–1950)
Kabir

A new demo inspired by the words of the great indian mystic Kabir:
Like a arrow and a hunter
Aiming for the thunder
All of this I wonder
Shadows on the sky
Everybody sayin’ it’s unknown
Feel like a foreigner in my own home
But let me tell you darlin’ I won’t weep
I stay awake while the country sleeps
To the sun, I forever roam
Burn it down, Break it out of stone
Let the king pull back that bow
Give rest to the soul
What is it like when it’s turned around?
The roots go up and the branches down
Mute men speak and they sing of crowns
Only the fearless
Only the fearless
Some of them know of a love so deep
Tell me how to cross this great big sea
If you know that song
You better light it on fire
Come Higher
Went to a local store! and asked a guy out to waterfire!! Wonder if he will call me or not. Either way it was a learning experience and it was pretty fun to get out of my comfort zone.
“When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.”
— Shunryu Suzuki (via thesageandthebutterfly)
Life effortlessly moves through time and space. Things come and things go but what stays true and unchangeable is not your mind but who you are deep down. Beyond the thought of even trying to figure who you are the unchanging backdrop of silent-ness is amazing.
