The Possibility of Being Wrong
Reading at Koloa and Anara practice 01/12/2012 Have you considered the possibility that everything you believe is wrong, not merely off a bit, but totally wrong, nothing like things as they really are? If you’ve done this, you know how durably fragile those phantoms we hold in our heads are, those wisps of thought that people die and kill for,betray lovers for, give up lifelong friendships...
Read MoreNot Meditating
Reading at Koloa an Anara practices 1/8/2012 A Walk With My Soul by Linaji All attempts to meditate are the abject denial of it… J. Krisnamurti Sometimes when I sit on the ground for no reason, bills paid deadlines met, stomach neither full nor empty my quiet spreads and fills me with sky from brain to big bang I am the blueprint a marriage of flesh and sapphire discovering the open...
Read MoreTo Become Concious…
Limber by Linaji Yoga reading Koloa 1/5/2012 To become conscious of ourselves as a body is to become conscious of mankind as one. Love is not something to be attained; it is the reality in which we exist. What is necessary is conversion, realization, enlightenment. I can operate from the viewpoint that I am me, you are you, the earth is the earth, and that’s the way it is. I can conceive of...
Read MoreI have learned not to worry about Love…
In the moment by Linaji Yoga reading Waimea practice 12/10/2011 I have learned not to worry about love but to honor its coming with all my heart. To examine the dark mysteries of the blood with headless heed and swirl, to know the rush of feelings swift and flowing as water. The source appears to be some inexhaustible spring within our twin and triple selves; the new face I turn up to you no one...
Read MoreThe Perfect Teacher
Reading at Anara practice 11/2/2011 The true teacher has no students, all is Being and only Silence speaks. The perfect teacher has no teachings because he knows that you are free already. So the true teacher’s non-teaching is that there is no teacher, no student, no teaching, and that nothing has ever existed. This teaching must be without words and must land in your heart. If you try to...
Read MoreHappiness is the Way
Sari-tree by Linaji “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin – real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my ‘life.’ This perspective has helped me to...
Read MoreCertainty
Reading at Waimea practice 05/24/2011 Certainty undermines one’s power, and turns happiness into a long shot. Certainty confines. Dears, there is nothing in your life that will not change -especially all your ideas of God. Look what the insanity of righteous knowledge can do: crusade and maim thousands in wanting to convert that which is already gold into gold. Certainty can become an...

Read MoreLooking Anew…..
Reading at Koloa and Anara classes 03/03/2011 The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them. – George Bernard Shaw (Thank you to Alan Cohen for...
