Be With What Is Real
What remains when thoughts and feelings are no longer believed, when
they no longer matter? You are still here, right? Nothing really changed, and
yet everything changed, because your relationship to life changed. Before,
your thoughts and feelings were seen as primary and important; now, they
fall into the background, and the rest of life becomes the foreground. As
with the optical illusions you have all enjoyed, where the foreground
suddenly becomes background, everything looks different, and yet nothing
actually changed, only your perception. When the lenses of perception are
no longer clouded by thoughts and feelings related to your human self, then
it becomes obvious who the looker, the real witness of life, is and what is
false and what is real.
📚🔔 Tatil zili çaldı!
Bir yıl boyunca verilen emeklerin ardından şimdi dinlenme, keşfetme ve yeni maceralara atılma zamanı. 🌞
Bu yaz bol kahkahalı, bol anılı ve elbette bol kitaplı geçsin. Tüm öğrencilere keyifli tatiller diliyoruz! 💙📖
how will you find out what is possible if you are busy trying to fix imaginary problems and the feelings that stem from
them?
There is going to come a time when you will say,
I once believed that everyone had to like me,
but now this belief is no more.
I once believed I had to be the best person
I could be in order to be free, but no more.
I once believed that I had to first do everything
I needed to do in the world,
and only when I had done that and I was satisfied
could I turn my attention to Self-discovery.
I once believed that.
I once believed that it was up to someone else
to make me happy.
That seems a long time ago.
I once believed that I was not worthy,
but I see now that was nonsense.
I once believed I was not ready,
but I see now it’s not true.
I once believed that I had to practise more,
meditate longer, be more sincere,
but I saw it’s not like that.
Life is not so strenuous or cruel.
I believed so many things that were not true.
Then I realised nothing obstructs the freedom I am.
The ego says, ‘Truthfully, this is what I believe.’
But the ego itself is a lie.
You are waiting for God
because you are waiting for ‘other’.
But he is never showing up.
If you are not looking for God as ‘other’,
then what do you see?
Stop putting God in the ‘other’ place.
And now where is God?
Mind cannot breathe here.
It needs to go to ‘other’,
for the sense of other sustains mind.
Mind cannot see God and live as mind,
therefore mind makes a caricature of him.
Him is not him. Him is not her.
Him is not ‘you’ as you.
If you take yourself to be a person, you also are ‘other’.
Don’t touch ‘other’ and there is no problem.
Don’t touch ‘other’ and there is no time.
There is neither separation nor union in the Truth.
Why should there be union
when separation never happened?
I don’t know who hears my words.
I have been waiting to say them.
Maybe tonight God wants to hear.
Maybe God has been satisfied with the play
of ‘I’ and ‘other’ for a while but tonight he says,
‘I have had enough of that game.
There are no ‘others’ now.’
You try and figure out the rest.
