What if who we are does not need to feel a particular way to be free?
What if the world that you and I have created, seeks a false good? A good that is a good in terms of polarity? Your good may not be somebody else's good, your bad might not be somebody else's bad. The true Good with no polarity is the ‘I’ that is actually listening to these words now.
A bit of a dilemma, maybe you can hear this. Everything then that we endeavoured not to feel, turns our life into a fantasy of what we believe we need, to be what we originally are. We build a fantasy. We build a fantasy around identification with what we believe we need, to be what we are. I don't know if you're getting that, but that's kind of an amazing joke, if you really get the joke.
Maybe all that we have to do, truly, is drop all fantasies and just stop. Completely stop and remain open as all the energies we have endeavoured to avoid and all the energies we have endeavoured to collect return. There is polarity there.
And I am suggesting we call that ‘the world’ or a limiting sense of self. You decide whether the world is a limited sense of self. What is the world? Is the world some kind of fantasy? Whose? I suggest if we just stop still, the energy that seeks liberation in the light of Awareness simply comes home.
Who really hears your voice? Is it not Thee? Is it not Thou? Is it not You? You hear your voice ? So then are you not your own power to realise what you Are, as you simply stop fantasising that something else is going on? Basically you just stop.
Simple question, who would you be when everything stopped? Would you not be Pure Openness? Would you not discover what you are or where you go in deep dreamless sleep? Is deep dreamless sleep actually profound? And is 'this' deep dreamless sleep but with bundles of fantasy and energy? And if we just stopped, just like the clouds would cease and the blue sky would start to come through....
Have you ever got up first thing in the morning and everything is so delicious? Just prior to any images of feeling that appear, wonder peaks.. through your pillow, through the window, through the cat, through the warm tea? Is life really complicated or is it very very deliciously simple? If we really do just stop, in those moments we just drop everything, is there not some movement of some sweetness that kisses the moment? Is this the most natural thing there is? When Awareness ceases all this conceptualising, all this naming...
Then those feelings we never wanted to feel simply come through and home. When we just stop, are we afraid of what will be? Because we will be empty and the form we fantasise on as something , somebody, some other, just ceases to be anything. If we just remain present, in the heart we might discover a softness, an incredible-ness, a wonderment moves like a breeze up from nowhere. In a single breath we discover our own wonder, although we can't name that wonder as belonging to anyone. But in moments like that maybe we can be real enough to give our fantasies away to That that wants to claim the whole of this life.
Then a greater mystery moves, very simply and maybe quite fantastically. Who knows! It is certainly here in this experience in Being. There is just this wonder of Love. Yes, it still answers questions that need to be answered, but maybe from a different place. Maybe not from our belief that we're somebody, our belief that we have to answer in a certain particular way. Really, who would we be with all the belief systems collapsed?
My directness of that is, we will be simple, we will be gorgeous, will be amazing, we will be silent, we will be wondrous, we will be crazy, we will be soft, we will be gentle, we will be wild. But all that's coming from Freedom, a natural Freedom.
Then can we be courageous enough, if that's a word we can use, real enough, true enough, to allow everything to collapse that's not True You?
Are we afraid that relationships won't remain? Maybe the only relationship that will not remain is the false one, to this moment. Where Love is known, not as over there but right here, and it glows and it knows. It has a function beyond patterned ways of understanding and we turn to our own miracle and our ability to know Love, be Love, see Love, give Love, receive Love is quite natural. When we finally get so honest that we can allow to meet the old habits that keep us from our divine intimacy of being together and recognising who and what we are. Maybe that will spell the end of this world as we know it.
