The world has become
my Lover
secrets move between
our nakedness
no tongue
has spoken
or can speak -
not even the word Mystery
can signify this Intimacy
I breathe and see and touch
making ecstatic Love with
everyday

"Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!"

*Matthew 6.22-23 (CEV)

If you want to be one with the cosmos, Ken, instead of one with only a single female body, then don't see the mountain, be it. Like this: Feel my naked body. Now feel the same way about the entire world in front of you. Erotically unite with everything that is arising.

A man desperate for spiritual enlightenment went to the Sage. The Sage was sitting near a grove of trees. The man said, “Master, I want so much to be a spiritual man. Please, help me.” Replied the Sage, pointing to a tree: "Pick that apple off that tree, and know and only know you're picking that apple off the tree."

The following selections are from Ken Wilber, Grace and Grit. The selections look at the ever-present, pervasive Presence of Spirit and our seeing Spirit fully present, everywhere:

If Spirit has any meaning, it must be omnipresent, or all-pervading and all-encompassing. There can't be a place Spirit is not, or it wouldn't be infinite. Therefore, Spirit has to be completely present, right here, right now, in your own awareness. That is, your own present awareness, precisely as it is, without changing it or altering it in any way, is perfectly and completely permeated by Spirit.

We are all already looking directly at Spirit, we just don't recognize it. We have all the necessary cognition, but not the recognition. … Spirit is already completely and fully present in the state of awareness that you have now; nothing needs to be changed or altered. And, indeed, the attempts to change awareness is like trying to paint in the faces in the puzzle instead of simply recognizing them.

Any attempt to get awareness is totally beside the point. "But I still don't see Spirit!" "You are aware of your not seeing Spirit, and that awareness is itself Spirit."

A person once approached the Sage, asking,
"Sir, what does it mean to be spiritual?"

The Sage replied,
"When praying, pray. When eating, eat. When sleeping, sleep."

The befuddled seeker protested,
“But, Sir, that does not sound spiritual at all!”
“That is why it is spiritual,” spoke the Sage.
