[Edit: this is copied from my blog. There are links there, meditations you should look at.]
people don't respond to my comments or blog entries, so here is my deepest, most heartfealt apology and meditation. please, everyone, listen to this, with the most fervent wish for peace and prosperity for humanity. when everyone grows of one heart, the heart of light, all problems are gone-- so everyone, give your energy and power to the heart of light, the one light, which all people embrace.

now meditate on this.

you are slipping from your material world.
as your mind saw the perception of slipping,
you began again to slip away from yourself.
and again, you see a third self, aware of the other two,
and this one is already letting go,
and suddenly you are aware, of all selves,
slipping away from each other at the same time.
now as you feel the slipping of them all, you realize there is nothing more than this feeling.
you are feeling a headlong rush,
you drop away from it once again,
and you suddenly know eternity,
as each moment becomes a thousand years.
peace falls across all, and you are at one,
experiencing the waves and falls of this one.

you come here, again and again,
and then you fall away once more.
you never stop falling away.



what is the heart sutra
which one has looked at many times
searched the world and many times
cried below the sun and sky?
what is one
what are many ones
who is the buddha
who are the bodisattvas
who is the buddha
the dharma
the sangha?

avalokitesvara
the buddha,
the bodhisattva
resting inversely
avalokitesvara
the buddha
the mother
the jewel
of wisdom

who is the buddha,
resting on the heart
what is the language
who are the people?

what am i hearing
and what am i hearing
who am i hearing
who hears?

who hears?
who hears?
what am i hearing
who is it hearing?

tasmat sri gurave namah

avalokitesvara

who is the light of the world?
avalokitesvara
krsna

buddha is one,
avalokitesvara bodhisattva
tasmat sri gurave namah

om gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhisva

the wheel in the sky keeps on turning.

This was quite interesting and very spiritual. I really loved the begining, and liked how the end was almost sort of a chant.

Thank you so much for the comment! :)
I really wanted to share this because it's true that the greatest thing we can know is within ourselves. You can't know truth without meditation, but if you sincerely pursue it, you'll find it in this lifetime. The truth isn't anywhere far away, and we can pass into it with practice.

A couple notes the ending is a chant,

"Om Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi svaha"
means "Gone, gone, gone beyond, completely gone beyond, all enlightened, so be it!" or something similar to this.

I mixed names around, Krishna is pre-Buddha, and Allah and Ywha of course are from other faiths. I think if we can accept people of other faiths, it would be a big step toward shedding of boundaries and hatreds that otherwise ruin lives.

and tasmai sri gurave namah simply means, if I'm correct, "I offer my obeisances to my guru," although I could have it a little off.

Hope it doesn't take too much out since I have to explain :) thanks again.
