Silence is Golden

Mr.Nut enjoying quiet time on the lawn.


Just the other day, Mr.Nut and I were enjoying our morning meditation outside.  It was the perfect temperature and he was enjoying smelling the grass after all the rain we've had.
No words were spoken between us. Only the sounds of birds chirping, the water sprinkler, and the rustle of trees could be heard.  And nothing more was needed.

Silence can be so very satisfying, but not many humans really give it a fair chance.  Typically, if there isn't the sound of a radio or TV somewhere in the background, people tend to become uncomfortable. That's usually because they are not comfortable with their own thoughts and feelings.  Having the TV or radio constantly playing is one way to avoid being intimate with yourself. And this is the main reason why people feel lonely.
 



Mr.Nut expounds on the beauty and satisfaction of silence.
Whether he is inside on his cat tree, outside in the big cage, or enjoying the front lawn with me, he insists on silence.
And as a result, I have come to enjoy the true contentment of just "being".

If there is anything that squirrels teach best, I would say it is the value of silence.

Heart Wisdom

Mr.Nut traveling through the Cosmos

People always ask me... how does Mr.Nut know what he knows?  He always gives the perfect answers to all the questions asked!

First of all, I have to say that Mr.Nut is not your typical squirrel.  He has been preparing for many incarnations to come back in this time on earth to assist with the transformation of human consciousness.  You may be familiar with one of his past lives as
Chuang Tzu, (399 - 295 B.C.).
Chuang Tzu took the Taoist position of Lao Tzu and developed it further. His writing is at once transcendental while at the same time being deeply immersed in everyday life. He is at peace while at the same time moving through the world. And so it is again in this incarnation as Mr.Nut!

Mr.Nut was born alongside two brothers... Sweet Pea and Bucky.  Their nest came down in a cold, rainy February of 2012.  His brothers were found still huddled together in the nest, but Mr.Nut was not discovered until a full 24 hours later, barely moving, wet and cold on the ground.
From this harsh beginning on the planet, Mr.Nut learned to go within and rest in the One Squirrel Heart in order to survive!  And he has always been somewhat 'different' in his demeanor and actions.  He is soft, kind, compassionate and a font of limitless wisdom!

Even as a small squirrel child, you can witness his intensity:

Mr.Nut has always lived simultaneously in different dimensions.  He has the ability to connect with beings all over the Cosmos and so is able to assist humans to experience profound heart openings!

It gives Mr.Nut great pleasure to share his wisdom. He is generous with his love and enjoys all tenderness offered to him.  He is friendly to all and will not hesitate to bury a nut under your feet or at your collar.  He has no interest in owning anything.  He simply radiates squirrelove to all!

Mr.Nut's life is the evidence of Truth.

Mr.Nut's prayer is that all beings discover that the LOVE they are searching for...  is already there inside their heart!

Om Shanti Om! 

You ARE love.

The Darshan of Sri Nut


For anyone who has rescued a baby squirrel,
nurtured and loved them, a radical change of heart
 is experienced.
There is an awakening to a bigger love
than most humans are typically aware of.
 This love I call 'squirrelove', but in actuality
 it is the ONE HEART that includes all beings.
It is one's true Self.... which is pure love.

This is not the human romantic kind of love
that is spoken of here.  Mr.Nut says that humans
 don't really know this BIG love because they
tend to try to "hold on" to people and animals
that they love. He says that the ONE HEART
doesn't need to hold onto anyone because
there is no other place they can be...
except IN the ONE HEART.

Mr.Nut says it is the very helplessness of a baby squirrel that touches us so deeply. It is their innocent trust in life that is so attractive. There are not even words to describe this experience because it is so incredible. Most often there are just tears of gratitude for this beautiful happening.

This is the great lesson we can learn from the little
 squirrels that come into our lives.  We can learn to
love and let go as needed.  We don't require our
children to live with us their entire lives... we in
fact encourage them to go out into the world when
they have grown up.  On the other hand, we want
to hold onto these little squirrels for as long as
possible because the love they give us is like no
other love... it is purely unconditional.  It is not a
smothering kind of love, but rather a detached love
that has no requirements of us.  They are teaching
us about impersonal love.

Mr.Nut says this is what Awakening is all about.
To find out that you don't NEED love, but rather
that you ARE love is the greatest understanding.
And this is the very reason why little squirrels
come into our lives!

Mr.Nut's Holiday Message

Mr.Nut is inside today because it's freezing outside and the wind is biting!  He's been jumping on me and insisting that I take down his Holiday message! So here is it: 

Christmas is an important day for squirrels.  Not many people know this, but over 2000 years ago, when the Christ child was born, little squirrels were there with him! It was very cold that night and the stable they were in was pretty drafty.  So one beautiful mama squirrel brought her brood over to his manger. She proceeded to lay down next to him and directed her little ones to do the same. In that way, he was kept toasty warm! 

Not many people are aware of Christ's love for the little squirrels and today we see only a few hints of their relationship.  Here is a stained glass window at an Episcopal Church in New York featuring this beautiful friendship! 

Mr.Nut also relayed that, just like the Christ, all the little squirrels are here on the planet teaching the message of love. Have you ever noticed that when a person is going through a tough time in life, whether there has been a death or a loss of some sort;  very often an orphaned squirrel will show up to soothe that being's heart. Typically, the human thinks it is rescuing the squirrel,  but in reality, the baby squirrel is rescuing the human, by transmitting copious amounts of undiluted Squirrelove! In this way, many human hearts have been mended!  

So as we close in on this special day, the birthday of the Christ, please take a few moments to practice Mr.Nut's simple squirrel meditation:

1) Lay down and be comfortable.

2) Close your eyes.

3) Contemplate love.

4) Be happy!   

Rest, Eat, and Rest Again.

 Mr.Nut as Pure Awareness 

 To really rest, meaning the kind of rest you experience in deep sleep… Mr.Nut tells us that it is not necessary to actually be asleep.  You can "rest" with your eyes open. All that is required is to remove one's attention from the thoughts, feelings, phenomena, or 'stuff' of life; and instead, focus on the space that includes everything. This space is not mere nothingness… it is a vibrant and alive space!  It is squirrelove!  And in fact, you are not separate from this! You ARE squirrelove!  Ask any squirrel and s/he'll tell you the same thing!

Sri Nut's recommended practice can be summed up in one statement:  "Rest, eat, and then rest again!"

Eating in this case is used figuratively and means to participate in what arises, if you choose, but be aware of it and then come back to the state of rest again.  Then it becomes easy to see that you are not really doing anything, but rather you are "being done"!

Mr.Nut as the Self


Mr.Nut uses every minute to teach this esoteric squirrel wisdom.  Even when it looks like he is asleep, he is actually working on many dimensions simultaneously to communicate this truth to all those with open minds and open hearts! He is dedicated to the awakening of humankind.

Squirrelove is the "peace that passes all understanding."
Sri Nut invites you to join him in this peace and
 enjoy your 'Self'! 

Beingness is Squirrelove

As Mr.Nut was resting peacefully on top of his cat tree,
he telepathically communicated to me that there is absolutely no difference between him, me, you, Buddha, Mooji, Trungpa Rinpoche, Ramana Maharshi, or anyone else!! We are all the same essential Beingness.  And all we have to do is rest in that Beingness to know it's true. That's why Mr.Nut is so wise…  he is always resting in his "I AM".

Mr.Nut in deep contemplation

Mr.Nut also said that humans spend much time comparing themselves with each other. And this habit keeps them from awakening to who they really are: the pure space of squirrelove.  He says that all squirrels know who they are and so they are fearless. They don't try to protect themselves as is evidenced from the way they cross the street… without a care in the world! They just know they are completely taken care of!

Muffin resting in the "I AM"

Mr.Nut went on to explain that the entire universe is comprised of units of happy juice (a.k.a. squirrelove) and that all the little squirrels are the happiest and juiciest beings on the planet!  It's no wonder that when people interact with them, a transformation of consciousness begins!  It doesn't matter whether it is a rescue situation or simply feeding them in a park!  Anyone interacting with these beings become transformed by the potent essence of squirrel bliss!  All over the Cosmos, little squirrels are actively participating in the transformation of consciousness right now!  

May you come to know yourself

as the Beingness of 

Squirrelove!

Jump into the  

juice of Squirrelbliss 

and 

BE HAPPY!

Your Squirrel IS Your Sage!

My Sage: Mr.Nut

Let your relationship with your squirrel be the template for your relationship with the people in your life.

You honor your squirrel and love your squirrel.

But you know you cannot "make" your squirrel do what you want him to do.  You can't direct him.

The real truth is he directs you.

Your squirrel is a Sage sent to teach you

the "Way of Love".

You cannot "train" your squirrel because he does not seek your love or approval.  He doesn't seek anything, but rather he rests contentedly in himself.

Your squirrel IS your Sage.

He represents your innermost reality.

 Mooji has said: 

"Mind hides the sage. 

 When mind is there, sage is not. 

When sage is there, mind is not."

Let go of your mind 

and your squirrel will come

and sit in your heart.

Then the "Way of Love"

will be known to you.

A Squirrel's Gift

The loving gaze of Mr.Nut

Mr.Nut has been really enjoying the fresh autumn air, playing outside in his big cage.  He is such a gentle soul... not really the kind of squirrel that can make it on his own.  The neighborhood squirrels come to see him, especially Buddins. Buddins sits with Mr.Nut every morning and afternoon.  They wave their tails and Mr.Nut teaches Buddins many long held squirrel secrets. Buddins keeps insisting that Mr.Nut come out and play with him... but Mr.Nut just tells him that his dharma is to educate and raise consciousness.  Mr.Nut says that the squirrels are here on the planet to teach love and he is here to remind them of their mission. 

Many people have started to seek counsel from Mr.Nut as he is a true Sage and is full of wisdom.  He has a very simple method.  You ask your question and Mr.Nut gives an answer. He has no judgement and is a pure vessel of truth.  So if you are at some kind of crossroads in your life, just know that Mr.Nut is willing to help you take the leap.  

"Your task is not to seek for love,

but merely to seek and find all the barriers 

within yourself that you have built against it."

                                      ~ Rumi

Squantum Physics

Mr.Nut told me today that Squantum Physics is the "state of the art" field of physics that can answer all your questions about the nature of reality!  He says that 'Squantum' is the branch of physics that deals with the indivisible units of energy called 'squanta'.  All energy is made up of these squanta particles and if you look at them under a powerful electron microscope, you will see something like the photo above.  Each squanta is comprised of pure squirreluminosity.  There is no space that can ever be separate or apart from this squirreluminous juiciness! 

Mr.Nut recommends that you sit quietly in meditation and contemplate this!  What this means is that the entire universe is completely brimming with squirrelove!  Every wave and every particle is squirreluminous!  No one and nothing is left out!  That means that there is nothing to worry about!  Every problem can be solved simply by resting in the truth!  The spaciousness of squirrelove rules the totality!  Squirrel happiness proliferates randomly and is inclusive of absolutely everything!  This is indeed cause for celebration!

Now of course there are always those skeptics that will offer up objections, such as: 

Q. If every space is full of squirrelove, then how do you explain the misery on the planet, for example the killings of innocent animals? How could that be considered "squirrelove"?

Now in order to answer this question, we will have to explore the "wave-particle duality". Read these excerpts from On Truth and Reality:

The idea that something can be both a wave and a particle defies imagination, but the existence of this wave-particle "duality" is not in doubt. ... It is impossible to visualise a wave-particle, so don't try. ... The notion of a particle being "everywhere at once" is impossible to imagine. (Davies, Superforce)

In the quantum world, subatomic particles lurch about, suddenly disappearing from their starting points and reappearing as if by magic somewhere else. ... In many cases you cannot watch a subatomic particle move from A to B; you can only observe it at point A, and, sometime later, observe it again at point B. Just how it got there is a mystery. In this realm particles sometimes act entirely like waves, and vice versa. This equivalence of particles and waves is related to the equivalence of matter and energy that Einstein discovered. ... How could nature be both things at once? How could both pictures be right? Yet how could either be wrong? (Margaret Wertheim)

Mr.Nut suggests that you observe the following squirrel animation: 

You can see the little squirrel above is a particle when it is not moving and a wave when it is moving. Regardless of whether it is in its wave state or particle state, it is still a squirrel. We call this a "Squanta"! 

Mr.Nut says that you can use this "wave-particle" duality to answer the question posited earlier.  He says that if you look at "Squirrelove" as the total space, (in other words, it includes absolutely everything) and then take one particular incident (e.g. animal abuse) as a particle in that space.  First take note that the particle is not separate from space.  That means that both are happening at the same time. Now let's apply an arbitrary label of "good" for a wave and "bad" for a particle. Take the particle of abuse... obviously labeled "bad".  Sometimes a particle appears as a wave i.e. appears to be "good".   Killing an animal to feed a human would be an example of this... good and bad are happening at the same time.  Squirrelove, the space that includes it all, is simultaneous with the waves/particles.   Mr.Nut explained to me that a wave/particle is not inherently good or bad. He told me that it is simply our perception that decides.  So there is actually no "evil" that exists outside of our perception that it exists!  That's very good news indeed!  Mr.Nut says that enlightenment is simply that state in which you understand this.  Thank you Mr.Nut!

And this is what Mr.Nut's dear friend, Den Lilla Ekorren is singing about~

Stepping Into the New Paradigm

Muffin acts as guide into the New Paradigm

Mr.Nut is encouraging me to talk about "stepping into the New Paradigm".  This morning he telepathically communicated to me that people need to 'get up to speed' with all the changes that are happening! He says we are being pushed and prodded to let go of our old concepts and outdated programming of fear, scarcity, and separation.  He recommended that humans put aside some time each day to rest and reflect on all the good things that are occurring  in our lives and to feel gratitude for all our blessings! 

Buddins in deep meditation

Mr. Nut suggested that in quiet time it is helpful to contemplate the question...  Who was I before I was born?
He says that every squirrel knows the answer.  A squirrel does not think he is his body like most humans believe.
He knows he is really just the "spaciousness of squirrelove". That's why little squirrels have no fear of death.  Notice how they run into the street and jump from tree to tree with absolutely no hesitation? A squirrel knows that he can never not exist and that he was never really born.  So... nothing to be afraid of!

Therefore, squirrels are not control freaks like humans.  They adapt very easily to their circumstances.  They stay calm whether it is a time of feast or famine.  
They remain content regardless of the situation.
It is a great honor and privilege to
be graced with a squirrel teacher!
So whenever you are feeling overwhelmed
and stressed out, just stop, 
and take a "squirrel moment" 

And you will return to Squirrelpeace!
