Sharing from Osho... The Silent Point

Hey everyone, I was reading Deva Premal & Miten's newsletter and at the end of it they had this from Osho which I felt compelled to share...

"Archimedes used to say, 'If I can find a silent still point in the universe, I can revolutionize the whole world.' But he never found it because he was always looking outside. And that silent still point is within you; it has never moved. The earth moves, the sun moves, the stars move, now everything is whirling; but something within you is always abs… Continue

emotions sprout like lava
sometimes hot raging lava
sometimes vast, wet, moist, and mossy grass

emotions stretch me inside
like veins affecting not only me,
but you, and the moments we share ....
this moment - that - moment, last moment, the next moment, each moment ---

emotions are one of many things that shape our meeting

and i continue to dance
sometimes eloquently, fluently, elegantly and with awareness
others i stumble shamefully, unskillfully, and… Continue

Such gratitude.

from the depths of my being.

Our father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven,
give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,
for thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever,
Amen

My Way of Being

For the last couple of weeks I have found myself in a self-destructive internal struggle of needing to know what happens next and focusing my energy on the future and not the present moment. I have pulled myself out of it time and time again only to fall back into old habits at the drop of a hat. Energetically, the last few days have been powerful with the Full Moon and the Celtic New Year all coming into being. For me, this Celtic New Year and the festival of Samhain (Halloween) is a time to le… Continue
