compassionate...I am living meditation, religion, faith, life, God, not just conceptualizing: for if you are not living whatever...you don't know it; Such isn't happening.
In Such (Spirit) I am the Silence, the giver of Peace, the knower of the Field, the pleasure of God--and apart from That--I am not.
My name is Larry Gordon Thomsen. I was born in Everett, Washington on September 5, 1945, and immediately thereafter, in taking my first contracted breath, started to kick and holler about this entire matter. Fortunately for me I've since learned to calm down and take everything in stride, almost: cool sparks of rebellion still lurk deep down in my psyche, and would fire up all of a sudden if the right-wrong situation were to leap forward and grap me. But, eventually, even these sparks will get nailed to the cross. You see, I'm committed to a certain way of life...a Way that has chosen me as much as I've chosen it. I consider my person then--having taken to the spiritual path (eternal road) many suns ago--to be nonsocial, nonpolitical, nonreligious, nonmilitant...a child of nonattachment and holy indifference, not pretense. I don't believe for a second that humankind is the master of anything, except, maybe, our own self-undoing. In any case, I wouldn't waste another three seconds trying to make the world outside a better world, or myself a better person. One doesn't try to be when one already is. I mean, does a virtuous person try to be virtuous? Or, for that matter, does a sinner try to be sinful? That would be pretentious. People, places and things just are what they are. And whether one's behavior is virtuous or sinful, all the packaging, pretending, along with the art of selling the product (spinning), in the world isn't going to change that, or the consequences that follow from it. Man (ego), on the other hand, never ceases spinning, pretending to be instead of just Being. The self-importance (self-righteousness) and hypocrisy behind this mentality is enough to stagger whole continents! So I would much rather be Still, and turning In to the Center of our Being, remain at peace (though some call this ignorance) with the world, allowing the Spirit (God) that Is In all of us to spiritually discern...and thus reveal ourself as a Whole, as we Are right Here, right Now! Therefore, as a man, I am cool, reserved, distant (the distance of death) or that which appears, yet with a fiery spirit ever-penetrating, but not consuming, Ourself (Intulife) or That which Is. In God, then, we are spirit, even the Holy Spirit, not flesh, not conceptualization, that which has beginning and ending, as all things do. Spirit (God) just Is...and we just Are. But knowing Such would require us, as personalities, to change the way in which we see...from literal to Nonliteral, from material to Spiritual, from personal to Nonpersonal, from a partial to a Total Perception of Being. In Truth, to see as God Sees (Nonsensory Perception)...Intuseeing everything Within us and As Us, ourself as a Whole (Nonbeing). Thus profoundly perverse I am, totally out of sympathy with fundamentalism: the material, mechanical and literal way (divided ego) or duality by which persons are bred, places are seen and things are done in this world...being not a traditionist, or ideolog of any kind, believing not in conventional wisdom and observing not with a generalizing mind. In short, I'm like the salmon who swim upstream against the current, returning whence we came: that is, returning to the very Core of our Being...to Who and what is often called God or Liberation. Such is living Jesus, the Way of the cross, the open Way (Teaching) of living Truth; for if we are not living life we don't know Ourself, that is, we, as Such (Truth), are not happening. So what I offer here isn't any kind of dogma, or cultural programing. Such innate knowing wasn't given to me by the institutional church, or by the state. The church, or political state, doesn't know it; it never has. Christ Jesus isn't some dude who lived only two thousand years ago, but God in man, the Life Force or Principal who Nondwells Within us and As Us--the Nonactual Us--Being in man the Living Spirit (Christ Jesus)! Such Is the Living Potential that Rests in all of us. All the stories in the Bible are telling us the same Story: that God Is Alive in us, potentially, at the very Center (Depth) of our Being. Every story, then, is about the human psyche coming Alive in Spirit (Christ) and selflessly Realizing his or her interrelationship with the Presence of God right Here, right Now! But, being materialists (egoists), we have literally interpreted the information as history, and called this reality--as if the past is now. But reality can never be captured by the past. In relation to the ever-present, the past is always allegory, and therefore we need to see through all the conceptualizations, images, forms, to the God (Spirit) in whom we Are...the Eternal Us (Now). Such Is the Nonliteral Perspective, first Seeing (Being) with the mind as a Whole that everything is Within us and Is Us (One Adam). The time has come for humankind to return, by Way of the cross, to the Source of all life, and consciously fuse with our innermost Being! I don't believe that I'm the Lone Ranger: as interior Vision (Intuperception) Is Alive in me, then the same must be true for others. So I feel a sacred duty to give witness to the Presence (Comforter) in my soul, and in everything else, through my writing, conversation, and in the manner of living my life on earth. Others, in time, may discover the same Witness in themselves. But this world isn't about me the person; it's about us the spirit...ourself as a Whole (Great Spirit). Therefore we need to selflessly Realize Who and what we Are! In time we will stand face to face with Holy Fire (Spirit)! And we will either step into the Fire or we will continue to stand apart from God, identifying with matter. We will either first See from Within the Fire As the Fire, or from outside the Fire as the other; that is to say, from Within God and As God (Nonliteral Perspective), or from outside God (Ourself) as the image(literal perspective).

8 April 2008 - 9:38am Under the right circumstances, it is not difficult to have a powerful experience of meditation, to taste the indescribable peace, bliss, rapture, and stillness of the Ground of Being-like a still forest pool, in which you sink ever more deeply, where your mind is not moving at all. It is very important to taste the inherent liberation of your own infinite depth, but that kind of experience in and of itself will not necessarily teach you how to have a liberated relationship to the chaos of your own mind and emotions. Sinking to the depths of your own self is always profoundly inspiring, but it's not enough. It is equally important to know how to stay on the surface when a storm is raging and have no relationship to the chaos. And that is what the deliberate practice of meditation is all about. For most of us, learning to do that is ultimately a source of greater confidence and soul strength than the spontaneous experience of infinite depth. And in fact, from an absolute or nondual perspective, being at the surface is no different from being at the very bottom of the pool. Even if it doesn't necessarily feel that way, in time you will come to understand that it is the same. That is the secret of freedom.
