The Stillpoint

What is the Stillpoint?

I take the name from T. S Eliot's Four Quartets, which runs through the four movements of poetry as the central point, the intersection between time and the timeless, the point of enlightenment, of re-birth, of transcendence, of the born again understanding running through literature and history, in spirituality, philosophy, and of the many Realizers who Know the place for the first time. Do you know the still point? That is your destiny.

"At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from not towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement
      from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance."

---from The Four Quartets, Burnt Norton; T. S. Eliot

Radical Consciousness

Homo sapiens was only a temporary life-form, a speck, a point consciousness in the universal field of growth as Awareness. This speck-awareness, in the form of self consciousness, was meant to evolve toward a wider, more inclusive Knowing.

To wake-up is to see through the trance and hypnosis of all belief systems, religious or secular.

I say, with absolute certainty: Awareness exists beyond the duality of conventional consciousness; and that It exists at the center of yourself, even as yourself.
