Realizing Nothing
 
 
"If you really look,
you will see
you are avoiding
this moment,
you are avoiding
experiencing
this moment.
 
It is not that you
are somewhere else
and you have to get
back to here,
 
it is that you are
actively
avoiding this moment.
 
If you can really
be honest
and see this reflex
of avoiding this moment,
then you can really begin
to let it go
and drop into this moment.
 
You can begin
to let go of thinking
and experience what is here.
 
 
 
Our problems
make us important.
Our knowledge
makes us important.
 
They keep us
separated from this moment.
 
We hold on to our problems
and what we know
because we are scarred
of the nothingness
underneath it.

We are afraid
of being nothing,
of being nobody.
 
We hold on to hope
and improvement
and 'feel good' quotes
because the present moment
is too vast and empty.

Yet the very thing
we keep avoiding
is the very thing
we are seeking.
 
The moment
you give it all up
and fully immerse yourself
in what is really here,
there is unconditional peace.

The silence of this moment
completes you.
 
 
Blessings,
 
 
Kip"

[In the same way but with a much added dimension of depth knowing it happens through humans the creation will not come out of the egoic need for anything.]  

 

The joy of creating will become the motivating power behind the creation.  

 

Not an egoic need to have this or to have that.   

 

So, it arises, that kind of creation arises out of the fullness of life that you already are and when you know yourself to be that fullness that expresses itself in that way.

Chasing states

 

In these reflections, the natural state is sometimes referred to as "the opening."  Who you really are is the opening through which everything happens including thoughts, emotions, reactions, pain, frustration, states of calm awareness and states of total confusion.

You've been told that you must reach some state called "enlightenment" in which you are totally calm, peaceful, and loving.  This tends to send the mind on a chase into future.  Emotionally painful states are labeled bad.  Calm or pleasurable states are labeled good.  The chase involves seeking the good and avoiding the bad.

 

When the mind is chasing some ideal "good" state, it avoids what is actually occurring when pain, frustration, or confusion is occurring.  This fuels the chase towards the ideal state and keeps the search going.

 

Pointing to your true nature as the "opening" allows a seeing that anything is possible in this opening.  A state of pure, calm awareness or a state of great fear may happen in the opening.  Whatever is happening is allowed by 'no one.'  There is no one there deciding which state is good and which is bad.  Without the labeling of good v. bad, the chasing tends to stop on its own.

 

If the mind renews the chase again towards something other than what is happening, notice that the chase is happening in that opening.  As this is seen, there is nothing left to chase.  There is only 'what is.'

FACT: CONSCIOUSNESS

IS WHAT THE PRESENT IS

 

 

(Continuation...)

 

 

 

 

Nothing about the human or mortal is permanently being. This isn't saying there's something wrong with body; don't condemn or deny it; it simply isn't being.

 

You can't say I or say You be-and also say You are a mortal body. It's a contradiction in terms. And You must be, or You wouldn't exist to know about this discussion. You are not a human being. You are Being, being. The body-form may appear to be human, but that's not You.

From PART V: 2. 

(Continuation...)

 

 

 

Jesus was a kind and marvelous human being, with a heart big enough to mirror the suffering of the entire planet, but we would not have wanted to enter His presence wrapped in a cloak of self-demeaning inauthenticity. If we had, out of His love for us He would have wielded the sword of truth to mirror what we are hiding from ourselves and to set fire to our illusions, causing a war to break out between our authentic identity and our manufactured ego.

Consciousness Is Self-Luminous

 

"When you see the sun rise, do you not see a round disc of fire

somewhat like a guinea? Oh no, no! I see an innumerable

company of the heavenly host crying, 'Glory, glory,

glory is the Lord God Almighty.'"

The Unknown is the Home of the Real

 

(Continuation...)

 

Q:How is it that the question 'Who am I' attracts me little? I prefer to spend my time in the sweet company of saints.

 

M:Abiding in your own being is also holy company. If you have no problem of suffering and release from suffering, you will not find the energy and persistence needed for self-enquiry. You cannot manufacture a crisis. It must be genuine

Michael Brown:  "He was mirroring the hidden fear of the money-lenders and the suppressed rage of those whom they abused. He was allowing Himself to be possessed by what they were hiding within themselves."
