reality is a self-knowing presence,
it is the One Beingness
composing and decomposing
the various dimensions of life.
don’t discard what you have seen or understood,
in the hopes of finding something better-than-this-moment;
the quest to end that sense of lack
does not end in the acquisition of a ‘thing’
it comes to its resolution in the other direction…
when we finally, finally begin to accept that
what we deeply want is closer to home than any thing.
there can be a type of discomfort that arises when Being what you are –
like residual habits of mind and feeling that come knocking for attention…
stay.
it requires courage and sometimes a bit of inner fortitude.
gumption, maybe.
just notice the wavering for now.
everything is consciousness.
there is only consciousness.
stay home.
the resistances of the mind can feel torrential;
but remain in your heart,
in the Silence of Awareness,
expressing itself as
this sensation
this breath
this moment
stay here.
there’s nowhere else You can be.
but let’s not pretend anymore,
to be anything other,
than the shape of this moment,
and what lies beyond it.
