"Excuse me...I didn't mean to disturb the peace."
True Peace Cannot Be Disturbed.
This was what was coming through today while sitting quietly at a coffee house in Weed, CA. Was sitting in Meditation with the eyes open...which doesn't happen often...yet today it did. Was looking at the very nicely colored and textured wall ...which looks like a slate type of green. There was an intense calm and stillness though there was much going on in the cafe...it is lunch time and things sounded busy but quickly fell to the background.
One might think that looking at a wall is boring and it very well could be...however today...it was filled with shapes and lights and shadows coming through from the passing cars on the road. As the attention remained focused on the wall in front...people could be seen from the perpherial vision and then thoughts would arise wondering if it was weird to see someone sitting like this...those thoughts would pass by just as the people did. And the attention is directed to what everything arises In. What is seeing out of the eyes.
Again the thought appeared...True Peace Cannot be Disturbed.
There wasn't an awareness at the time that there would be an example though many did come...Peace does not change with the Phenomenal world...True Peace...if the attention is on It...is the resting Place and then one comes from that Place...the Place of Peace (which is not a place).
Words are heard that a car is parked incorrectly and will be towed. There are thoughts that say..."that is your car...what will you do?" Eventually the person arrives and asks "is that your car out there parked on the side of the curb?" The hands come down in Namaste. The head turns, the thoughts are "what will you do?" She asks again, is that your car...the head nods...she says "the manager is going to have it towed, you have to move it" The head nodds again and the body slowly gets up...walks out to the car...moves it...comes back in...sits down and the Bell rings signaling the end of Meditation.
True Peace Cannot be Disturbed.
One is Always in Meditation.
