what is azdumazur?
it continues to unfold…i'm back again…i come and go here, and continue to add and revise, to hopefully make this clearer, to make it understandable and usable. for those able to find it… getting caught up with things finally and am now actively rewriting and adding material. also adjusting to a change of the site company, among other things…
azdumazur is… a loose affilliation of like-minded people/beings as well as a joke, a riddle/puzzle and state of mind, among other things. it can mean what you want it to mean. but, azdumazur is… much more — a map of sorts, a guide to take one from where you are now to places beyond where you may not have hoped, and to assist you to be in touch with your real self and to achieve a clarity and union with your self. the methods that i write of here may help you to attain this, if you so choose to do so…
is it worth mentioning it has been said that knowledge can be power, as well as responsibility. the more you know, the more that may be required of you. and would you wish it otherwise? maybe…
and here i am making a revision: i had written a paragraph about the 'impractical'/'dum' things that we do, as well — aside from the practical/rational. such as surfing, sailing, flying, diving, climbing, etc., where we put ourselves in danger… i realized that this is too much of a subject to merely touch on here at this point. it will be given it's due later in these writings. my point was, whether practical or not, is that a certain focus is necessary if you would attain. and what would you attain? well, if you can connect with your self, your real self, then you may have the ability to determine that. and as one becomes more conscious, to determine what is important to attain in one's life.
in a nutshell, AZDUMAZUR is a frame of mind, a map/guide of sorts — to deal with this and alternate realities, and especially adversity, to meet the challenge and continue to live and learn and create yet another day. a day at a time. as i mentioned, this past year was not an easy one. my practice helped me to get thru.
i had written that when i created azdumazur i didn't know whether i would have the time alive to make it into what i envisioned. i thought i would get it started and put on what i could and thought important. it has turned out that i have more time. so, with this, and what i continue to learn since, i will play…
one thing to remember. whether young or old, you don't know how much time you have. so keep learning…
i will continue to write here and add what i can, depending on other things in my life. and to continue to expand and/or clarify these writings.
the main focus was to launch this site, with some basics, a start. the 'seeds' for you to grow/build your own practice. these basic ideas/practice are all that you really need to know to get started, as well as being the keys to many doors. i will then add on/expand on some subjects/areas as i continue with this work. as well as go off on a number of tangents, though important ones, to me. this is more the 'frosting' of your practice — the finer, more sublime elements and the appreciation of them that you can attain.
i find that i am refining/changing this work as i go, to keep it as brief and understandable as i can. i am not an accomplished writer/author. i do other writings as well, and sometimes write songs/music. but this work is important to me — this is what i have learned over this lifetime — how to raise my consciousness. and i chose to share that here. some may find it beneficial…
right now this is a sprout. may become a tree…maybe a banyan…
and already it has become like a box with more boxes inside that i open as i go along…
but, most importantly, AZDUMAZUR equates to: READ, LEARN, OBSERVE/WATCH, APPRECIATE, and DO/CREATE. but mostly AWAKEN… this is what happened to/for me — by doing the 'little things' that form a PRACTICE, i have been able to awaken and break many of the bonds that held me back. it is also of the utmost importance to be able to 'unlearn' — the many things that we were taught/grew up with/take for granted as 'reality' which are not really true. not to mention the ego and all the related baggage/drama that we immerse ourselves in. i have, fortunately, learned to extricate much of that from my life by immersing myself in my practice. i wish the same for you.
i want to add another note here — because of circumstances recently, things continue to change. as they always do anyway. i've been spending more time working on recent writings than putting them on here… but i will in the near future, hopefully, when they're ready… and i have again been forced to focus on dealing with hard issues. i have not overly focused on this so far in these works, but that's important as well, as your practice can help you to get through the hard or tough stuff, whether health or other adverse circumstances. i found lately that having to go through hard stuff has sharpened and focused my practice to a higher degree. i will get more into this later as well.
