Platonic Meditations

I am speaking of the state of mind I have always strived to obtain.  The state of giving oneself to the utter joy of the moment, letting go of everything and resting in the moment of quiet giving oneself up to the beauty found within. Letting go and flowing out of the body upon one’s breath stepping out in the river of life to the sheer beauty of the moment and flowing filled with joy and being the river and flowing along with it.  The state of mind I refer to as play because on this level everything is filled with the sheer joy of the moment.  No expectations just letting everything drop away and being with what ever is present and rejoicing in the present moment.  An actual childhood experience while experiencing the state of consciousness above, “the sun sifting through the tree and feeling the warmth of the sun alternating with the shade of the air moving the leaves back and forth, just setting in the moment truly experiencing life’s joys.”

 

  Once your thoughts have quieted and you have turned within, feeling the utter joy of being one with the universe. You come to rest in the beauty of the moment. One with everything. I had a dream in 2001 while living on Vashon Island in Washington state. Which mirrors what I was speaking of in the above paragraph. I see an Indian he has on blue jeans a long sleeved shirt, his hair was tied  back with a bandanna tied around his forehead. He was stocky in his build,  His face was round and weathered. The area where he stood was vast and  light and dry like the prairie, He reached out grasping my forearm and I in  turn grasp his. As our arms locked I was pulled closer to him. The area  where we are now standing is dark like a cave. He pulls me into him and wraps  me round with a blanket he is wearing, as he is doing this our physical  bodies meld into one. As this happens the energy in the minds eye is a  backward and inward turning motion....
