A Field Beyond Wrongdoing and Rightdoing

Where the phrase 'each other' doesn’t make any sense

Rumi’s Field

The 13th Century Persian Poet Rumi wrote;

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.”

I have a sense that herein lies our possibility. That this experience is what humanity might be, together. And that the experience is underneath the underneath, waiting patiently to be realized, not worked towards. Imagine that, it - already - is.

And if so, what might that imply for the journey of transformation across the geography of time. What might that imply about the oh-so many steps we believe we that must take towards.

More exploration of this to come. Alongside demonstrable proof of it - already - is.

Here’s an audio I released on Instagram a while ago (actually I released it in video form), concerning this Field and our addiction to working out answers to the diconnection predicament in the very same place the predicament was created. In the realm of ideas. I have observed so much about the nature of this over these many years.

Perhaps we really do belong to each other. As - we - are.

note: I’m bringing this visceral experience to other people’s events. Perhaps your event should consider such a thing.

And as I’m here, this is a sequence I love from the Soul Biographies Monochrome Film Series. Witnessed, I imagine, as if in Rumi’s Field. I call this way Inner View. Each character filmed in front of an audience.

Perhaps these characters inspire something of your own interior capacity to be authentic, undefended and useful to humanity per se.
