Bringing Nothing to Bear

I'm Back, different day, different time, I think.

Thank you for your feedback, I like that. I'd love more.

even questions that might give me an Idea of what to say next.

It has been suggested to me to expand this blog so that other than my immediate family

can read it.

I not only have no idea how to do that, i have not yet figured it out.

So, I will when I do, or I might not.

I Notice that all of the "GREAT MASTERS" of being, you know, pick your favorite, they ultimately all say the same thing:

there is a natural state where nothing exists. It exists nowhere and everywhere. and you can't recognize when you are there.

Some have called it the Kingdom of Heaven, The void, nibbana, nirvani, zero, everything/nothing, Source, etc.....etc....etc....(BLAH BLAH BLAH) Not interested thank you.

My contention, point of view, assessment, belief, occurring world, interpretation, .......on and on and on infinitum...................................please don't believe any of it. is that

practicing bringing nothing to everything is access to nowhere.

OR

As I actively follow a specific way of being that causes or evokes NO THING in the face of EVERY THING I occupy NOW HERE.

in the NOW HERE none of what I know exists.

All of what I know is described in language, vocal, mental, or any type I

can possibly think of.

NOW HERE has to, has to, has to occur prior to language for language to be used to speak of it. All language is descriptive.

NOW HERE IS OVER BEFORE IT CAN BE SPOKEN ABOUT.

Anything I speak about is not the thing I am speaking about , it is me speaking about it.

My story, and I am sticking to it. Is that both ends of the scale (suffering to bliss) ( you know: anger, hatred, upset, disappointment, fear, judgement, evaluation, standards, ideals, rights, wrongs etc. etc. etc. (please fill in any dis harmonious experience you want to in this list, then add all of the harmonious experiences you want, love, happiness, joy,...... )occur only when I Add SOME THING to ANYTHING.

What happens; happens. What doesn't doesn't.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS A HUMAN BEING BRINGING SOMETHING TO IT(PERIOD)!!!!

Too strong, okay. think it through for yourself, you don't have to, I already have for some 30 years or 60 or 500 or 1000, it doesn't matter. This is not an argument, it is an inquiry into the power of nothing.

Everything that happens; does happen.

Everything that doesn't happen; doesn't happen.

There is no inherent meaning in life occurring.

People do and say what they do and say; they do not do or say what they don't do or say.

I will react from one of two views.

1. the collective data of all human experience,(I'll call this the MIND)(And I may talk more about this later or not)

2. Nothing,

I do not think it is distinguishable to determine which one I am reacting from: however, more and more I am present to an unexplainable connection to life, (you know; breathing, heart beating, touch, taste, sight, hearing)

My practice is as follows:

Repentance, apology, grattitude, Love.

Not necessarily in any order, and continuously throughout each day.

I am sorry,

Please forgive me,

Thank You,

I Love You

When I get present to: I love you; I am you.

and if I am you, you are incredible,

I wish you peace beyond all understanding.

The Begining

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY:

I can't stand it any longer. I opened this blog two years ago, for some long forgotten reason, although

it is tempting to make up a story that you might like about why it has taken me this amount of time

to begin this; blog,adventure,communication,activity, endeavor ...........or whatever anyone cares to

call it.

Somewhere around NOW, I have been getting this internal voice, thought, idea, notion, message,

that sound something like. WRITE THE FUCKING BLOG ALREADY.

So, OKAY, I am tired of hearing it, (not that I have any idea that it will stop because I now am writing.

I have spent many years of my 66 years on the planet, don't get caught up on the 66, its just a number I use to let people know that "I've been around you know"; telling, teaching, lecturing, coaching, people that there is nothing to say.

Another way I use to speak to you about this is. I have been telling people nothing, because I believe "in my heart" it is really what there is to talk about.

I had to accept that I had nothing to say, before I could begin saying nothing.

Now I am going to say nothing until nothing is said. And I say: that once nothing is said

there will be nothing to say.

That sums up all that I have to say, so this may be a very short lived " blog".

OK. I'll say more nothing.

I named this site Trust Love and Relate, 2 years ago. and when I sat down today to begin writing I had to BE WITH the name to see what the hell it means to me.

And, I am comfortable that it does communicate what I am saying.

I do ask that you consider that when I am talking about LOVE, I am talking about it from my conversation about nothing.

The power of NOTHING is that there is no add on to what is, or what isn't.

If you and I are relating and what I maintain as the standard, ideal or measurement of my love for you is NOTHING. than I can fully and unconditionally accept everything.

Love, (be careful, you are better off not being attached to any definition to this, including mine),

is at it's most powerful(blah blah blah) when I accept myself and others exactly as i percieve them.

that includes what is occurring and what isn't occurring.

What this takes is a granting, or a giving of permission, or a generosity, or an allowing.

I give you permission to be exactly how you are.

My mantra is:

People do what they do, the don't do what they don't do. they say what they say, and they don't say what they don't say.

I can count on this; and when I add NOTHING to it, I can be Present to Love.

Here are some of my :"MENTORS" Opinions.

"Love is granting another the space to be the way they are and the way they aren't so they can change if they want to and they don't have to." ...

=

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom," Shakespeare

=

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

Mother Teresa

It is a beautiful trait in the lover's character, that they think no evil of the object loved.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Do all things with love.
Og Mandino

I have to stop this now to move my body to another comittment.'

I wish you love beyond ALL understanding.
