The Law of Movement

-- Nothing's Static --

Today's post comes to via Petricia Verdes who sent us a couple of submissions for our blog on behalf of her client: 

Author Ilie Cioara was an enlightened mystic who lived in Eastern Europe that penned 16 books describing the experience of meditation and enlightenment. In particular, the book – Silence of the Mind – offers a unique message on meditation and enlightenment. Ilie believes that by practicing the silence of the mind, through an all-encompassing attention, we discover and fulfill our innermost potential of becoming one with the divine spark that lies dormant within us. Silence of the Mind is the first volume in a series of his books that will be published by OBooks (http://o-books.com). Find out more via the blog (http://thesilencebook.blogspot.com)

We hope you enjoy the following, by Ilie Cioara:

In the whole Universe, there is nothing static, dead or frozen. Everything, but absolutely everything, is in eternal movement. Even within the so-called still nature reigns the same intrinsic law of movement.

Movement and newness, in perfect interconnectedness, affirm themselves as uniqueness. In this context, the moment represents the hand of the clock, used by Infinity in order to record the movement of Eternity. It is always new, as well as creative and transformed, in an ascending manner, progressively.

In order to be able to encounter the newness of the aliveness in its movement, we must come out and greet it the same way. Thus, we don’t return to the past, to what happened, nor do we project ourselves into the future, in pursuit of an imaginary purpose or ideal to fulfill.

With a completely empty mind, we simply watch life as it unfolds. Nothing comes between us and the movement of life, in the form of images, opinions etc. Such a simple and direct meeting with the moment transcends us spontaneously from the finite world into Infinity.

And just as quickly, like lightning, we detach, in order to be free again, and therefore completely available to encountering the next moment. Nothing is anticipated and nothing is accumulated from the lived moment.

The purity, innocence of the mind is our constant companion, as each moment becomes an opportunity of creative Being. Through this way of “being” – as pure Consciousness – we ourselves create a new world in which love, beauty, compassion and kindness become a reality positively influencing the whole of humankind.

The Power of Emptiness

The “void” or “psychological emptiness” is a strange phenomenon,

It appears spontaneously, in the pause between two thoughts;

As the old thought ends its course and disappears,

Its end is the gate, natural silence ensues.

Insist in being with it, as much as you can,

The mind is completely silent, we are attentive – a clear consciousness,

All meanings, boundaries disappear – us and the Infinite are “One”;

Practically, we have a new mind – always fresh.

Being in the pause – I become infinite!

It separates two worlds. I leave the limited world

And enter Boundlessness, through total melting;

The whole being is calm – a constant sparkle.

There is no time, no space – just everlasting Eternity;

I move in direct contact with life, in a permanent present.

I am Pure Energy, without motivations,

The simplicity of existence integrates us completely.
