Hearing tries telling Seeing what hearing is all about
And Seeing tries telling what seeing is all about
Both tried understanding each other
And both tried experiencing each other
Except nothing closer to what it is.

As Seeing’s job will forever be seeing
And Hearing’s job will forever be hearing
Both are like water and oil
Trying their best to convey what it is like to be what they are.

We are two humans trying to convey what is in our minds
What I conveyed may not fully reflect what is in my mind
And what you understood may not fully reflect what I am conveying
For both of us have never communicated
Except our very own intimate interpretations of what we heard.

How would I then expect to comprehend what the Masters have said?
How would I know what I read is exactly what it is?
There is no way, no possibility to know
Except to take their words as a compass to my own journey.

I would never know
whether I am following the compass correctly
Or what lies ahead of me
But one thing I can be sure
That if each application brings me to joyful peace
And freer mind
I can be sure I am threading the right direction
That is all I can know.

How would I know whether I am “there”?
Except to know that
When I am “there” I will know.
I can’t lie to  myself
Except to think I can lie to myself.

And thus our journey evolves around trials and errors
And until we finally meet
Fully comprehending each other
Our pathways are forever changing and refining

Unless we held on fully to what we think is right
Awaiting “something” or “somewhere” to arrive
Even then, our time will come
For us to review
Our folly
Our ignorance of holding on

I wish you well
That someday the Truth will dawn upon you
That every error you have made
And every trial you have gone through
Is the culmination of the journey
For there is no mistake or failure
Except experiences that enrich your journey.

There is no your Truth or my Truth
For when we both finally arrived at the Truth
You would have fully understood me
Just as I would have understood you
Not to mention understanding ourselves.

For that there is no reason or meaning
For doubt to arise
Or argument to ensue
As the journey is truly oneself.

To each its very own.

Intentions are not visible, but yet can be known by me. But when I am not trained to be present to intentions, I would not be aware of its presence, I would not at all know that intention is the mover of the world. Behind those intentions are all my ideas about the world.

Where there is a desire for wanting or not wanting, I have already missed the mark of reality. I thought that by wanting, things comes my way or that when I don’t want, things will move away from me. Both are far from truth. Things never come or move away from me for they are a part of my experience. How can I take away what is in my experience? When I want something, my experience is “want”, not the something. Similarly, when I don’t want something, my experience is “don’t want’ – and again not that something. Thus anything that I project out to the world becomes my experience.

My experience is an effect of the cause of my projection. Can I do away want and don’t want and instead work on the cause so that the experience is exactly what the cause is intending? Yes and no. Yes in the sense that everything is my creation. No in the sense that so long as I want or don’t want – not seeing the illusion of this misfit – what I get is just these two. I may get the result, probably after much tussle and hassle, but that does not reflect exactly my true intention for what I intent comes with the illusion of misfits.

My effect reflects my cause. Thus what I experienced is exactly what I intended. If I intend with a want, I have to experience the want to finally come to what I want. At times I may not get what I want, as my want comes from the misfit of frustration and resignation along the way, which also culminates exactly to what I intent. I only work with what is visible, not trusting or realizing that the invisible is the greater force that is creating my experience,.

I want a parking space and I intent a parking space is a different thing all together. One is focusing on the effect and the other on the cause. One is about the future and the other in the now. When I intent, or create, I trust the process will take its course. When I want, which is also a kind of intent, but a misfit intent, I do not trust the process but try manipulating the process to fit to my want. Many a times getting into the way of the process instead of allowing nature to take place, brings me to a distorted experience rather than the actual experience.

Want and don’t want is an illusion that I took up – it placed me in a position of a victim rather than a master. When I truly see through the illusion of want and don’t want, I am ready to be my own master of creation. I take full responsibility of every experience that comes my way and for that I choose to experience what I trust to experience through conscious creation.

I can only see this greater force coming my way when I drop the mentality of grasping, of wanting and not wanting. And this is my work in progress.
