Relax Into This Moment

"Relax into
this moment.
 
Not your idea
of this moment
but into feeling
what is here
beyond thinking.
 
Keep your body still
and really feel
the sensation
of being alive
in this moment.

Let go of all ideas
of what it might feel like
or what you know it feels like
and actually experience
fresh and new
the feeling of being alive
in this very moment.
 
Allow thinking to be as it is.
There is no pushing anything away,
but rather just relax into
what is here
without interpretation.
 
You can see these
two different experiences,
the experience of this moment
interpreted by your mind
and the experience of this moment
without interpretation
but directly felt,
directly experienced
free from the mind.
 
If you can really give
your attention
to feeling what is here
beyond the thinking
then you will begin
to awaken to your natural state
of peace, bliss and love.

You will begin to feel the
difference between
the controlled, separate
and stressful experience
of the mind,
and the natural experience
of freedom
expressed as being
alive in this moment.
 
Blessings,
 
 
Kip"

[If you sense yourself breathing while you listen, it also takes attention, already some attention moves into the body because some attention moves into the body.]  

 

So you have an anchor for presence and then when I stop speaking, occasionally, for a moment, then you feel it a little bit more strongly.  And that moment it comes more to the foreground, that sense of inner body.  When there's silence.  Or you listen to something that is not words but just a sound like the rain.  And if you want to stay here and listen to the rain for more than a few seconds without being taken away by thought, you may need an anchor to keep you in the now so you can continue to listen, so you stay in the body.  Listen from here.

Unconditional love

 

Unconditional love is not based on what the other person does or does not do.  It is not based on whether someone lives up to some image you have in your mind.  It is not based on whether you get a return on your investment in a relationship.  Those are conditions.

 

Love is who we are.  It is what life is.  You cannot give love.  To love someone is not to give them anything but to recognize the love that is already there.  To pretend that you have something that others need, including love, is arrogant.  This pretense fuels separation.  It is spiritual violence.

 

To seek, expect, or demand love is not love at all.  It is egoic neediness.  Love wants nothing because it lacks nothing.  Love does not seek love.  It places no conditions on life and others.  It simply recognizes itself everywhere, in everyone.  It does not buy into the illusion of separation.

 

Unconditional love is not something that thought could ever show you.  To realize it, find out what is prior to that thought-based story of me in the mind.  What is reading these words - not the thoughts that arise to agree or disagree with what is being said - but rather the simple presence itself?  What is resonating beyond these ideas?  That presence is love.  Realize that what you truly are, beyond all mental conditions, is unconditional love.

From PART V: 2.

Judas is despised by us because His act in that moment, which we called betrayal, shows us, through the intimate beauty of a kiss, what our organized religious groups do to God. Judas mirrors, for us all, the hidden face of our continual betrayal of ourselves, and of God. Judas facilitates us to perceive our lack of authenticity. We therefore hate Him. Yet, He is nothing and nobody except the revealed personality of our own hidden darkness. Judas' kiss is one of Jesus' most loving, most powerful, parting gifts to humanity.

The Choice Of Freedom

 

Does the individual have free will?

 

Even conventional science tells us that there are no separate entities in the universe, that everything is interconnected, so the issue of whether or not an apparent separate entity has free will or choice is really not addressed here.

Q: You seem to give no importance to the Guru. He is merely an incident among others.

 

M: All incidents contribute, but none is crucial. On the road each step helps you reach your destination, and each is as crucial as the other, for each step must be made, you cannot skip it. If you refuse to make it, you are stuck!
