there is only the worker

when actions are completed
there is only the actor

where love is born
there is only the beloved

who wills himself in movement and stillness
in reality and appearance

when even the truth of the form
has submitted to the reality of the form

love returns to its home
completing its light

none remains thereafter to know
love mysterious – remains ever its own secret – treasure

the existent word has spoken for the non-existent one
the revealed tune has sung on behalf of that which does not exist to sing

the spirit of the sound returns to its source
shedding off it garment on entry

no will remains
no entity

concepts of being and not-being
perish

worshiping believer
ceases

the last indication of you
dies by the breath

nothing more alive or dead
to receive or bestow

annihilation itself annihilated
the life of the ever living alone

finds itself to be
by manifest proof and exposition

the only.

Reading this idea of no will is beautiful, comforting. Living this is beautiful and comforting and much more. But there is also, more to it while "be"ing with a physical body that exists within a 3D world. At times I feel discomforted because of feeling guilty of not "doing" as we were taught throughout our lives. It is my consciousness that is in resonance with 9th, 10, 11, or 12th dimension and yet my body exists in third. Even my words now feel harsh and incongruent to this state of "be" ing. Marguerite speaks of "be" and not "being." Only when you experience this "be" state can you understand internally what the difference is. What is left to do when the fires of kundalini have burned away all the ego attachments and healed all the shame, guilt, loss, pain? ! You can finally ... be. Much love and light, Peg Thank you Ivan.

Yes, in the presence of the awakened one, things happen spontaneously, while for him/her, there is no happening at all. One does or wills only if there is any externality left. Where is there an inside or outside for the one who has gone Universal - the Whole? Ivan, you have summed it up all beautifully in the last para.

It's true, turning inwards, more quiet, more echoing enya music, more doing nothing comes naturally. I forget who said " Do nothing and all is done". ( too lazy to look it up) . But after reading Marguerite Porete and Ivan's fine, subtle, clarification, an alteration flows naturally: Do nothing, with Love, and all is done. A rainy cool afternoon to announce October.
