Partial Knowledge

We are not given anything we can't handle. When we feel ill-equipped to meet a challenge this means we are within partial knowledge of the circumstances and not fully realized to the situation.  This should be obvious, however, what is not obvious is, that seeing the partial picture is the result of partial seeing -through the lens of an ego identification. Should one let go of the ego's identification(s) the full picture unfolds.  

Fearing Death

One of the transformative elements of this process is, even while one does not know what happens after death, one's fear lessens the further one has let go of the ego. You realize you are not alien to what comes after. It is still a mystery that is unknown, however, fear lessens. Perhaps it is solely your ego that feels the fear.

Essence

It came quietly and clearly. You are not what you do. 

The Protector is The Prisoner

When you let go of what feels like a protective measure (which you identify with / made a part of you), one you created from an early (real or perceived) trauma or abuse, you realize, and then can see clearly that to have continued on with the protection, even after the source is gone, you see that YOU were now the one holding yourself prisoner.  You have gone from protector to prisoner. And to be fully alive, it needed to be freed. 

The Heart's Thank You

Saying Thank You because you truly feel it from the inside is an inevitable place of arrival in this practise. These moments only encourage one to dare to go on beyond everything one knows.  

Mis-Identity

Why does the mind mis-identify? 


the mind's perception is truly imperfect, starting with what it believes itself to be. 

Us Wanting God / God Wanting Us

The act of creation is mutual between God/Universe and the individual human. We are needed just as much as we need. The wanting is two-way, in other words, God/Universe wants us just as much as we want for God, for Universe. There is responsibility in this. Creation is not just for us to accept the fruits of. This is an ego-centric posture and pleases our small-self ego. We are much greater than this and only one who digs deep discovers this greatness. 

Dawn of a New Day

Enlightenment can be literally waking up from nightmares. 

Radical

Want to be radically free? Is it possible? Your Beliefs are a closed system - in that 'you' - whoever you determine as 'yourself' - firmly adhere to your set of Beliefs. Ask yourself - WHO IS IT that is believing what I believe? Where did these beliefs come from? Do I want to believe as I do? Try this on beliefs you have about yourself that you don't like, that feel like they are detrimental to you, that hold you back from moving into new territory.  Now... what if you knew it was possible to become free - no rigidity inside at all.  It IS possible but takes lifelong (and more, if you can muster) commitment. Most people will never discover this transformation that is possible for us. Why some of us can learn this, but is still very rare for the vast majority, is something I'm still making sense of. And if you are saying to yourself, aww that's bunk, WHO is believing that? 

The Opening

It is of no use to do (as your point of focus) everything for your fellow man.  Instead, you must do it for god/universe - to open up the place where you cease to be, which is the place of freedom and of most use for a greater worth than manmade things.  

Timeless

Today I feel old as the hills - meaning timeless. It's a beautiful feeling. 

More than You

Don't despair - god/universe gave you it all.  

Who are You?

Whatever you can see in your mind's eye about a past 'you' or past memory of you and the associated feelings that accompany it, there is no truth that this is indeed you - meaning - there is a you behind the 'you' that you are seeing. (Think of the nature of seeing and what this means.) You are far more encompassing than the identity you have as you, and all the little identities and minutiae that go along with it, they are just details, neither here nor there. Like leaves on the tree and bark and all these little bits that aren't aware there is a whole big tree and an even bigger world.


You are the world and beyond. It is your mind that separates and segregates. There is nothing out there in the universe that contains these divisive lines. It is we who create them, they do not exist in nature.  

The Seerer

When I say, 'put your attention on it,' I am talking to you as the one who is doing the 'seeing' as in, you are the 'seerer.'  Ask yourself - who is doing the seeing?  This seerer is separate from that which is being seen. And so, if you follow along with the logic, you can discern that what it is you are putting your attention on is NOT you.  

The Challenge - Are You Up for It?

So you think, but my mind won't let go.... imagine if you found a way to accomplish that... would you do it  if it meant you had to give up everything that you were, everything that you were holding on to.....
