Contemplating Bliss

Rizal Affif — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 01:09:49 +0000

When was the last time you are drowned in deep Bliss?

And why?

Let the Heart guides you; shut your conceptual mind for a while.

Nothing to Fix

Rizal Affif — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 10:42:23 +0000

There is nothing to fix.
What has gone, let it be.
Move on.
Things become anew,
in every moment.

Spiritual Concepts

Rizal Affif — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 00:56:34 +0000

Stop taking refugee in any spiritual concepts, any concepts at all. Stop telling yourself nothing is real, stop trying to divert the mind to positive thoughts.

Don’t be a coward.

Stop making judgment and interpretations. Face your fear, your discomfort, your anxiety. Dive deep into experience, feel them into the bones.

And see past through.

The Myth Called Nonduality

Rizal Affif — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:04:26 +0000

Nonduality, too, is just a paradigm. A perception, a point of view.

A slice of Reality; not the Ultimate Truth.

True wisdom does not worship nonduality and consider all elses as unreal;
It is to realize that there are ten thousands of faces of Truth.

The Truth itself,
Unknowable as a whole.

Witnessing Now

Rizal Affif — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 07:24:19 +0000

Ah,
the sound of the falling rain,
the smell of the wet soil, filling up the air;

calling for a joyful dance.

Nothing To Ask, Nothing to Lose

Rizal Affif — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 03:12:16 +0000

What are we afraid of losing?
For we have nothing from the very beginning.

What are we bragging for not having?
For everything is here, in the moment.

Only This

Rizal Affif — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 23:51:43 +0000

There is no particular Teacher and Guru to follow.
There is no fixed road to travel.
There is no purpose to achieve.

Face the gaping void,
you are all alone.

Bear with it;
Life keeps unfolding.

Then What?

Rizal Affif — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 00:39:25 +0000

After an adventurous vacation;
then what?

After an amazing dinner;
then what?

After the rain, the thunderstorm, the disaster–
–then what?

The Truth:

Rizal Affif — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 23:50:12 +0000

Even truth is just an idea of the mind.

Look Back

Rizal Affif — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 22:21:07 +0000

At times we struggle,
and fight over,
something we think really matters.

Look back after a year, or two;
it did not matter at all.

Nothing really matters.
