Subject: Harvest Season.....

"Harvest season the golden fields blanketed with the golden wheat Swaying gently, dancing with wind, ripe, mature, ready to eat Farmer's sickle or harvester, with its blade will kiss the wheat The plant is touched with kiss of death, but kiss of life the wheat will greet A life beyond the life of plant awaits the newly harvested wheat The chafe separated from the grain, to the rhythm of a new beat In this brutal separation, we mainly follow the grain of wheat Subjected to many more hardships, but now rests in late summer heat. When a mother goes to labour it is time to harvest the child Through the certain death of foetus, a baby on life smiled, Separation of umbilical cord, a new rhythm of life beating wild Though many challenges await the baby, in her mother's arms resting mild. Every life comes to fruition, every project to its harvest And that, the end of old life, this death perhaps the hardest test Through this death and this harvest, we find new life must be blest If subjected to separation, with some pain in life invest A new start to many more trials, but for progress this the best."
-- Mevlana Jalal-e-Din Mevlavi Rumi

"If we want to understand how we are ordinarily misled by our false projections and how we can begin to break free from their influence, it is helpful to think of the analogy of our dream experiences. When we wake up in the morning, where are all the people we were just dreaming about? Where did they come from? And where did they go? Are they real or not? Of course not.
"These dream people and their dream experiences all arose from our sleeping, dreaming mind; they were mere appearances to that mind. They were real only as long as we remained in the dream state; to the waking mind of the next morning they are only an insubstantial memory.
"While we were asleep they seemed so true, as if they were really out there, having a concrete existence quite apart from ourselves. But when we wake up we realize that they were only the projections of our dreaming mind. Despite how real they seemed, these people in fact lack even an atom of self-existence. Completely empty of any objective existence whatsoever, they were only the hallucination of our dream experience.
"In a very similar way, everything we experience while we are awake, including our strong sense of self, is also empty of true existence. Despite their concrete appearance of existing out there somehow, these phenomena do not in fact exist from their own side at all. Only as long as our ordinary, conventional mind is functioning, or switched on, do these relative phenomena exist for us. If this ordinary mind were to be switched off, these ordinary phenomena would cease to appear to our mind."

Happy Birthday Community, Today is the First Day of the Rest of your Life -
You are the only Source thus you are the Creation So just Look to yourSelf to Fathom your Damnation, You will Hear the Soundless Sound Call your Name As you See the Sightless Sight that Looks the Same.
You are that Temple where you Say your Payer So just Walk Inside to notice there's no one There, Kneel at the Alter and Chant of the Praise to BE Making it a Self-Dedication to nihilate the Duality.
You must know that you can not know Awakening Because all that's known is about the external Thing, You can only know the Surface of a Manifest Realm For the Essence of such would grossly Overwhelm.

Greetings Restive Community,
Update: In upgrading the Light Mission web server to Windows7, the latest windows platform, the LM techy found that the community list software is not compatible with Windows7. Thus the Mission Of Light List will have to be moved to another server. So we will still have the list, if anyone cares to use it, it just will no longer be on the Light Mission server.
The new location is Topica. The new email address for the community discussion list is MissionOfLight-l@Topica.com The old program and old server will still be in use for a short while if anyone cares to use it, but soon it will be upgraded. The LM techy will subscribe everyone here to the new list and you will get an email from Topica to confirm your subscription. If you want to remain on the list just click on a confirmation link. If not just ignore the confirmation request. Seems simple enough {8-)
So it is not really the end of the community forum but rather just that the community will operated from a different location. So use it, it is here for you.
Namaste, ej
