This Inevitable Moment

A friend recently introduced me to the teachings of Jaggi Vasudev, more commonly known as Sadhguru, an East Indian yogi and mystic, now in his 60s. I’ve been watching and listening to videos. I really value inquiries and people that explore “what real is.”

I’m not sure that what I write below is true, but I’m enjoying dwelling in the words and thoughts. A mashup of Sadhguru teachings and my reflections. I can feel something attractive nibbling away at a protective layer that no longer even feels relevant.

Is this moment inevitable? 
Yes.

Is this moment inevitable?
Yes, again.

There is practice needed to be connected to moments past and moments anticipated.
This is the work of mind.

There is something beyond mind, needed to be in this inevitable moment.
This is the work of spirit.

Life will take care of the emergence.
We need not fret over it.

Just like a good golf swing takes care of a good shot.
We need not fret over it, nor even watch for it.

If happiness comes from getting what we want,
what if, what we want and need, is already present?

Aligned because that is what life does, order for free,
and thus, happiness is present too.

There is pain in the world, indeed.
Suffering is a mind-created amplification.

There is ease in the world.
Happiness is a spirit-created amplification.

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
