The simplest, easiest way to understand Life is to accept it on its own terms, exactly as it presents itself to you. Notice, in contrast, how seeking is predicated on an assumption of incompleteness and inadequacy — a belief that Life is somehow inherently, fatally flawed.

Notice how seeking lures your attention out of the present moment and toward an imagined state of completeness and satisfaction.

Imagine now, instead, accepting Life exactly as it shows up — with no expectation that Life ought to be or should be any different from what it already is, right now.

Let go of imagining what Life would be like if….

Sit with what is happening now.

Observe your reactions.

Notice how mind and thought and

attention and emotions move

and Awareness does not.

Notice how all the individual aspects of your life

appear against this vast, clear screen of Awareness.

Remember this Awareness and the Wholeness

behind the events within your life,

and you will see that Life moves through all of

THIS.

Realization is nothing more or less than a complete revision of identity. With this Recognition, a very natural shift in identity begins to occur — from individual thoughts/feelings/ beliefs/actions to the Observation of them.

This is where everything begins to open up…..Suddenly, there is more quiet space around everything that happens — more room…. Your identity really does begin to shift toward the Background of Awareness behind all of our experience, and as this begins to happen, we begin to discover our real, fundamental freedom from all emotional and conceptual entanglements, and our connection with the larger Whole.

The light of the Infinite shines through each of us

as if through colored glass.

Explore your beliefs and assumptions

to discover the ways in which you filter

the radiance of Truth.

As long as we are identified with an object:
that is bondage.

As long as we think, act, live via an object, or as an object:
that is bondage.

As long as we feel ourselves to be an object,
or think we are such (and a ’self’ is an object):
that is bondage.

‘All Else is Bondage; Non-Volitional Living’ - Wei Wu Wei…

Nothing is ever lost. Everything simply changes form. Remember this in the face of Life’s ever-changing circumstances.

Nothing is ever lost.

Here’s some new stuff I did recently….all digital of course.

It is enough simply to pay attention

and trust the process:

` Whoever comes is the right people.
` Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
` When it starts, is the right time.
` When it’s over, it’s over.

In his initial comments Tuesday, Obama was delivering a dissertation about McCain and President Bush when he used the lipstick aphorism — not Palin. In fact, his reference to the Alaska governor later on was a defense of her strong belief in religion.

Calling it “the latest made-up controversy by the John McCain campaign,” Obama responded to the Republicans’ charge that he was referring to Palin when he used the phrase “lipstick on a pig” at a campaign stop Tuesday.

The lipstick maxim is hardly new to either Obama or McCain. The Democrat has used it in the past, and McCain repeated the folksy metaphor when he criticized Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on health care. McCain was never accused of being sexist when he uttered those words.

McCain released a new TV ad Wednesday that suggests an Obama link to what the Web site FactCheck.org called “completely false … misleading” attacks while failing to note that the source of the attacks were, according to the Web site, “Internet postings and mass e-mail messages,” not the Obama campaign

As we eventually begin to let go of our mistaken assumption

that something is missing,

the energy of seeking shifts

and gives way to limitless discovery.

Listen to the stillness,

it is the language of God.

Awareness is the background for all of our experiences,

and yet in our ordinary day-to-day lives, it is often obscured

by habituated thoughts and emotions.

Most teaching and meditation practices are designed

to cut through this habituated seeing into the

Background of Awareness

which is our innate nature and which is, in and of itself,
Clear Seeing

Our destination is always Here.
Our arrival is always Now.
All apparent movement
is a reflection of the wandering mind.

Only now is infinite and inescapable.

Captives of our own imaginations,

we dream of fleeting pleasures

and long for deeper passions,

even as Life’s sweetness is

dripping from our lips.
