WorldHappy New Year, Michael!A good way to understand the world of

humans is to understand oneself, not in an intellectual way, or even

in an emotional or so-called spiritual way, but just drilling down

into the heart of the prime motivation, the "core story", which is

expressed most commonly in the predicament of felt suffering we call

"our life". It may be discovered here that there is, at the root,

something like an innocent misunderstanding, a simple case of

mistaken identity. What we are speaking about here is the actual

evolution of consciousness itself. This human drama is not a mistake.

Most of the cherished "spiritual" teachings infer that this human life

is some kind of error or unfortunate occurrence - something to

transcend, some sin or even something of the nature of a stain -

tainted. But if we really inquire into this, we can see that

consciousness has taken form for a reason. It has

come into form so that it can be conscious as form. That's the beauty

of this amazing human birth. Consciousness can become self-aware

through this human form. It can not only become self-aware, but can

finally manifest liberation through form, through human-ness, in the

way that we act in the field of space and time.To be "liberated" from

being a human being is not enough. The consciousness itself has an

impulse to manifest itself in the world of space and time. This where

some confusion enters in. To be able to have this realization function

in the world seems to be the true call of evolution. Ultimately, the

manifestation is a creation. It's a birthing from an act of

indescribable Love. It's certainly not some terrible mistake that we

need to escape from into some transcendental realm. That's the goof

of dualism. So many teachers confuse people here, but if it's all

One, it is truly ALL ONE! There is no reason why that

Oneness can't express Itself in the world of space and time just as

much as in the Infinite. Such distinctions can be seen as mere

notional indulgence, when all this "messiness" of our humanity is

allowed to be liberated from such judgments of belief and conceptual

filtration by the Power of Awakeness.Nevertheless, there is some real

confusion when consciousness takes form and tries to become

self-aware. It seems to be a risk that consciousness takes in its

maturation process, or its evolving into becoming truly self-aware

through form. It is simply a matter of getting confused about its

ultimate identity --It comes into form, and then it thinks that it is

that form, separate and divided from all that is perceived to arise in

the sphere of consciousness itself. From this, a lot of suffering can

and does arise, the birth pangs of Itself to discover its True

Nature, and then to manifest it as Full Incarnation, the moment

to moment demand that all excuses be abandoned for acting anything

less than from complete awakeness in this very moment, whatever the

moment may contain.If this inquiry takes one into the head it will

feel very dry, very intellectual. If it stays grounded in one's

native heart openess, it won't feel in the least bit abstract. In

fact, it is actually quite marvelously, joyously drenched in the

juiciness of life, in whatever way life may be expressing itself this

moment, this moment in which all is contained, the entire history of

itself, at this pinpoint of attention, called now.In the place where

consciousness is really unified, where it sees the true nature of

both formlessness and form, such phrases as "I am That" are actually

true. It becomes perceivable. One's sense of self expands to include

everything. Here nothing is really outside of oneself. This view of

unity consciousness is much vaster than the view

of formless consciousness (see Tozan's Five Ranks). One needs to go

beyond mind into one's own direct experience to really hear this, or

else it just becomes more stale spices added to the conceptual stew

of faux-nondualism. It would initially appear that this experience of

unity consciousness is complete, once there is the realization that "I

am That", "I am everything". It may seem that there is nothing more to

see. And yet if inquiry proceeds further, there is something very

simple to recognize. Even in this unity consciousness there is an

awareness of this unity consciousness. There is a very simple

wakefulness of it, in which this unity consciousness is arising. This

awakeness has no qualities whatsoever. No bliss, no peace, no presence

- not even consciousness. Sometimes this "Original Face" is called

Emptiness. Yet it is even empty of any qualities of emptiness. Here

there is no self or Self. It is not a state of

consciousness, and yet it does not cancel what it transcends.Separate

self-consciousness, Formless consciousness, Unity consciousness are

all arising within this, are all birthed within It. They are actually

illuminated, or seen through, and thus become Liberated from any

identification within this, from any fixation at any level of

consciousness. Since everything arises from this wakefulness, there

is nothing that needs to be eliminated. The only "problem" that ever

arose was the fixation on any level. From this wakeful Awareness, all

states are gathered in one vast embrace of Love, and are seen to

co-exist simultaneously, non-exclusively. When this is truly and

deeply Seen, and all fixation has been undermined by the acceptance

of Embrace, then one comes to realize that this wakefulness, which

one IS, is in Love with all states of consciousness. It does not need

to hide in egoic consciousness, in formless

consciousness, in unity consciousness, in peace or bliss - it loves

them all. It functions through them all. Then they all can begin to

dance! This dancing of all states of consciousness together is really

the end, and the beginning, of incarnation, or conscious embodiment.

To take in the whole of experience in one embrace - to swallow the

Ocean in one gulp -- This is the Mystery! What becomes realized is

this simple awake Awareness that every human being has, at every

moment of their lives. One may have many mystical, transcendental

experiences, and perhaps, through Grace, come eventually to the

mystical experience of being truly human. Stabilizing in such

"experience", one will eventually become ordinary, natural. Could

this actually be the "ultimate ground", the full flowering of the

transcendent Mystery - that the most liberating turns out to be the

most ordinary? And yet, how could it be otherwise?

It's only natural! :-)LoveAlways
