We’re like kids playing in an immense maze-like sandbox and having figured this world out a bit we think we know what’s going on. Not true. For the most part we have no clue. To have any chance of making it ‘awake’ and becoming fearless in this ‘world’ we must rely only on our ever-present divine upholder.
When all concepts are let go, beliefs and assumptions are dissolved and in total quietude and silence we sit in the hear and now, then we come face-to-face with who we are. The Now moment itself, all that is, the quiet and still center of it all.
We must welcome everyone. Trump, Theresa May and Bernie Sanders. Hitler, Idi Amin and Lenin. And everything. Blisters, Tsunamis, disease and malaria. A pony, a rabbit, Brussels sprouts and broccoli. Why, you might ask? Because God is everywhere and everything. The only way to recognize God is to look beyond and through appearances. And thus to experience the oneness that’s the underpinning of all that is.
The Divine is what’s going on. God’s will is playing out. We all are, and all this is, a part of her cosmic play. We just need to step back and disengage from being such involved actors in this grand production. And when we do that, we can awaken from this stupor. Awaken to who we truly are, divine children of the ancient one. The time has come! Wake up!
Time is illusory. Certainly it is relative. Kids have a very different experience of time versus adults. People on vacation will enjoy time while those in prison might suffer through it. All this variation in our experience has everything to do with time being a mental construct. And this brings us to eternity. Eternity isn’t an endless number of years, which is why many dread it. It is the absence of time. Eternity can be experienced when all sense of time is lost. And such an experience can readily be had when we arrive squarely into the Now. Beyond all thought, is the Now, an experience of eternity.
When we’re completely ok with what is, then unfathomable peace arises. We can still attempt to change what needs to be changed; but if we must maintain that peace then we can’t be attached to the outcomes of our efforts. Peace is an inside job, it’s really quite simple.
Reality surrounds us. It is us. Very accessible and always present. It’s quite ordinary and special at the same time. It’s here, now, in the silence, that is us.
