Operating spontaneous



If the penny has dropped,
if the shutters of perception remain open,
a lot of ease and contentment are a consequence.

Hopes, fears, dis-ease are synonymous with the 
individual contraction, so if the focus and obsession
have fallen away something artificial is gone and
the natural functioning of the organism 
becomes apparent.

Operating spontaneous without a someone directing
or wanting things different,

Everything is simply observed, seen, known for what it is.

Directly cognizing.

All of Life is seen without filters.



 

 

It is all about me



There is the habit
to make the things which happen to us 
about me, 
myself,
I.

Which of course is natural and true 
because the me is 
the only constant in our lives.  

Everything is always happening
to this me, 
with this me, 
and...
is observed by a me.

Ultimate subjectivity

This is the case with everyone, 
awakened, or not. 

An Avatar, or street bum makes no difference

This never changes, 
as long as there is a body, 
as long as there are senses 
this is the case.

It is always happening to or through this me.
With capital or not.

The difference is really 
knowing who or what we are 
underneath and beyond our conditioning

Who do we believe we are?
What have we taken in, 
all those years?

In all of us, 
growing up, 
a conceptual reality has over layed the direct perception.

We believe ourselves to be a someone separated from
the rest of existence
This we have conveniently
put outside of our skin..  ( so funny )
And created an inside and an outside.  


If through a process of decondioning, inquiry and insights
the filters which are obscuring our perception 
are disintegrating, we find out through experience 
that life without filters is the natural state.
Everything is directly perceived.

That is the difference.

Life


In what we could call, 
the potential of what it is to be human,
waking up to our true nature is a major event.

It changes the way we look at ourselves,
turns everything from inside out, 
with the overriding message: 

"We are not separate, independent individuals, 
 we are, as everything else, consciousness. 
 We are a perceiving capacity for all that appears 
 at every moment "


As Life is not static, 
everything is always in flux,
realizations deepen, 
are making place for other vistas and
unexpected appearances.

And if we are not clinging to our present station
Life becomes ever more rich and deeply felt.

No more need for conceptual frameworks
or the urge to make others understand.

Books, satsangs, youtube clips of teachers
become obsolete.
One becomes wary even.


No more words.

Life is just living itself.

In all it's ordinariness

Crucial


There is only One substance.


There are no two things.

Everything is the One
Self shining,
of One essence
expressing itself 
through and as 
numerous shapes
and forms.


Also the body is the Beloveth.

Also emotions are this unlit Light.


There is nothing other than what is.

Intelligent Energy, unidentified,

manifesting as all that appears.


As we are sense organs of the infinite
we are perceiving as this Intelligent Energy all that appears.

The one crucial element is identification.
How do we perceive ourselves.
Who do we think we are?

Identification with form gives  
a wrong translation of the perception. 
Even though the perception itself is not wrong, 
it is the interpretation that is not accurate.

It is like the blind men 
each inspecting another part of the elephant.
The one holding the tail reports 
that an elephant is like a piece of rope.
The one touching the leg disagrees and says
an elephant is like a tree.
Neither one can perceive the whole elephant.


Clear perception
unidentified
will reveal the whole
As it is.
