Being at home. Monday, June 22, 2009

It all begins with the one doesn’t it?

 

If there is to be peace at large there must first be peace with oneself and if there is to be order around us there must first be order within us. If we wish to receive the abundance we desire we must first uncover it from within.   This is a provable fact, a fundamental law.

 

The only approach that seems to work is one of constant attention and honesty out of which is born right action through responsibility.  This is when we are at home.

Discovering what is truly important leads us to the path of no path where everything is fresh and absolute.  How will you handle this delicate flower?

There can be no greater commitment than self understanding because we know we are the cause of the effect, which is our experience. You cannot recognize that which you are not.

Knowing this it would be insane to continue going further down any destructive path, wouldn’t you agree?

We also know that the answer lies within and this has been expressed by so many for so long. 

We have known the answer to the riddle since time began and yet we cannot let go, we are unwilling to face our duplicity.

 

We must live within the centre of the truth and this force will guide us well.

The brilliance of the truth is both reflective and refractive and penetrates everything everywhere.  It’s the cosmic juice that outperforms all the antioxidants combined.

 

What’s at the centre of all this for you?  A place, person, obligation, image, laziness, fear, pleasure?  We have set up so many roadblocks.

 

“Let me see some identification, unbuckle the seat belt and get out of the vehicle now please...”    Busted again!

 

So, go forward with the blessing of the divine and through this union you’ll see what’s to be done next.  This is the act of setting yourself free.  Whether it’s the past or the future it’s pretty much all the same.  The activity of thinking has become so predominant and out of this has emerged its sense of self importance.  This must be undone.  In the “present” the only thing that is going on is “being” and within this perpetual moment everything is revealed.

This is surely the state of awareness from which the truth springs forth.

 

We all have something significantly greater swirling around within our soul and I wonder why we subdue it.  It all starts with the first breath of liberation however you imagine that to look.  Go ahead and take that breath, then another and another.   Each blink of your eye and beat of your heart reveals the truth which is the only thing to face.

Remember, being has nothing to do with achieving.  Being is the ultimate dimension and requires a “presence” that releases all boundaries of time and space exposing the lush nature of the infinite.  That’s when one realizes one is the experience.  Being is not associated with movement for it goes neither toward nor away, it simply rests as it is.  This is the sacred stillness.

 

To the naked eye nothing is the same and yet at the beginning which has no ending everything is one.

 

Go ahead and reach out with your most sensitive heart and feel the beauty and the pain that reflects you and in that moment of understanding without movement the lotus will unfold and you will disappear.  There may be only a tear or smile left behind to mark the spot.  All that will remain in the ashes is the purity of the vision and the purpose and these will unite your energy to the source and you will cross over the threshold without fanfare.   This is the task at hand, all else is diversion.  There is no other solution to this dilemma, to any dilemma.

I believe this is also the moment when one discovers where and how one fits in and the unique nature that we are is released in all its glory.   This is certainly being at home.

Do you know how that could look for you?

If you are dissatisfied with any part of who you are then you will continue to see and attract that which reminds you of this and you will never be free.  Walk away from all that.

 

Remember, that which is real is but an apparition, that which is true will remain alive and sacred forevermore.

 

Only you have the answer.

 

Be it!
