A Bird in the Verandah

Once the light goes on, time and space must be created in one’s life to accommodate that energy.

With this nurturing, right action comes into being.

Right action is choiceless, inevitable –
outside the realm of normal consciousness.

It has no blue-print, no mandate.

It is the voice that must be heard and obeyed.

It negates all that is false.

It recalls all that is truth.

It creates all that is good and pure.

It is timeless in conception.

There is an Insight which can fundamentally change one’s perception of things, if it is embodied in one’s life:

When the Intelligence within one awakens and sees that calculative reason is intrinsically incapable of realizing enlightenment, a displacement occurs and, if obedience to the inner voice ensues, it check-mates all frivolous activity. Then, one does not enter the world of falsehood and turns back at the threshold. That mind is a transformed mind and is open to revelation or the Unkown.
