~ Union ~

-
Yet another dance show to witness and experience the communion. Not just performance on stage but that which involves competition, elimination too!

Rules that existed but could never bind these two in their expressions. They had crossed the boundary of the mind, probably where rule can't rule. The theme was "romantic round" and indeed it was the ultimate expression of union in love. It appeared as though the guy had the major work of lifting the girl and dancing(apparently, they were not real couple). No doubt, it is an additional weight on himself while moving around. But the truth, the girl too had played a major role in letting herself be uplifted so gracefully and probably that's why none could notice the moment of lift and drop. It was watching two flowing into each other and just emerging as ONE.

When the dance came to a graceful conclusion, everyone even forgot to clap in appreciation for a moment because it was The Silence that pervaded and had drowned every being. Judges were in a loss for words and just said, "it is so complete".

Many times in our lives too, this opportunity of dancing in union and flowing into each other(me and myself) knocks at our door. In fact, it exists everywhere -- just with the smile of a baby, the swaying of the leaves, the chirping of the birds...etc.The Divine is willing to play the role of the guy -- lift and swirl. But , how much do we let ourselves to be lifted, in other words, how much do we let ourselves let go??? When we ponder, we discover the blocks that may turn out to be in that merging to emerge as ONE. Surrendering to the Divine --The Big guy(real you), the dance happens and the dancers dissolve!

What you express here resonates far and wide. Opportunity s all around every human being. It is like an orb of light that awaits acknowledgement and definition. Thank you for your candid reflections. They are soulful and inspiring!

Thankyou Liara!
It just depends on our availability to the ever existing Divine(in and out). may not probably come into the realm of definition and acknowledgement too. it is just there...

Dear Anna -- the awareness on that not "letting go" is vital and once it dawns, yes, it becomes much easier as it goes.
Thank you for your comments.

Merging point, I can think of many instances where 'letting go' no longer seems to come naturally to people. What is perhaps ironic is that difficulty is learned and simplicity is direction of any natural flow of energy. Why do you think human beings choose to swim like salmon, against the current? Perhaps because they can?

against the current or along the current, whaat one has to really look into is --how much natural is the flow?
There is no doing (can or cant)when natural flow is let to happen.

A BRILLIANT concept, Merging Point. I always love your posts. It is more fun to dance with someone than alone. So much more rewarding. I love the idea of God lifting us up. That was quite a visual.

Love the new blog template. :D

Hugs, JJ

Glad you loved the new template, JJ!
"I love the idea of God lifting us up." --- Not some God outside us but THAT which is very much within us.

~ "Adapt Tune" ~

An insight into a dance competition show. Unlike the regular performance where a participant proves his dancing skills to a song selected and well trained for it, here he is expected to dance to the unexpected tunes. The DJ on the set is the creator of the tunes for that moment. The participant on the floor is evaluated as to how well his performance is tuned in to the unexpected rhythms. "Expect the unexpected" and tune in to be your own self. Thats when the best of performance is unfolded. You dont perform but you just tune in to the rhythms. There is a subtle and yet a vital difference that distinguishes you from the rest. The sense organ, ear, lets the listening happen. The mind accepts the tune and the body adapts to the tune and thats what is called the dance. Firstly, one needs to be well equipped with the skills and thats what is called confidence. Without a proper knowledge and practice of the skill, one would only turn out to be a laughing stock on the floor. Once t...

Let us a take a look at the transformation of a simple metal plate into a knife. The metal plate when processed through various stages gets shaped into a sharp instrument used primarily for cutting etc. Have you noticed, the process doesn't get completed in just sharpening the blade. It takes a complete shape only when a wooden handle is provided on one end. The one edge of the sharpened blade gets fixed into the wooden case, thereby, providing strong and comfortable access to the usage of the instrument. Left without a wooden case to hold, the blade still remains a sharpened tool but dangerous even to the user. Try holding a sharpened blade and make use of it. May be, your hands would bleed first even before making use of it. When looking at the mind, intellect and its connectivity to the Self, i felt it is easier to understand and relate it with the example of the knife. Intellect, as a sharpened blade is essential to discriminate, execute. It becomes a dangerous tool only when i...

~ Levels of Awareness ~

Beware of Ignorance Be Aware of Self! That which begins as a practice Becomes a part of the whole Nothing new that never existed is going to be introduced for practicing. Yet, there comes a moment when each of us are introduced to discover our own self through various means. Body exists from the time of birth, yet the real feel of that first moment is experiential. Same with breath too. Breathing has been happening but when we enter into its realm with that touch of awareness then on the Real living begins. Ignorance in a way acts as the backdrop for awareness. In life, when we begin to learn some art or anything, we tend to have a total focus on the job. Like when we first begin to cut vegetables, the eyes, the hands and the mind are in total focus. Its the practice which eventually leads to evolution. Perfection sounds more like a finite one. But with subtleness, it just expands to nowhere. The taste of the self which begins as a practice eventually grows to expand in awareness. Focu...
