scary stuff

Scary stuff this awakening/enlightenment/realization business.

To be sure, there is a 'part' of us that wants IT more than a duck wants

water. And there is a 'part' of us that knows IT brings an end to the

way we have been all our lives.

 

I am not capitalizing IT because IT is higher or better or sacred. It is

the dropping of beliefs, concepts and ideas. IT happens of ITs own

accord. IT happens when the so called fictional character(s) we are

playing fall into open, honest and earnest longing.

 

IT encompasses everything about being and about being a human creature.

IT brings the death of what we used to believe about ourselves, God,

spirit/soul and so on. IT brings life in abundance.

 

IT is the end of seeking. IT is knowing in an intelligent and

experiential way the unity of just being. IT is the end of grasping for

yet another blissful experience. IT is the end of hanging onto a

personal comfort zone.

 

There are no practices that can bring about IT. No intellectual

understanding can prepare one for IT. IT is not a personal

accomplishment. IT is not a reward for good behavior. IT is not a prize

won in a contest.

 

So many seek after IT and never seem to find IT. They are not looking

for IT. They are looking for confirmation of their beliefs regarding

what IT is. Yet IT is always there. IT doesn't go anywhere.

 

If there is a barrier to knowing what IT is, it (the barrier) is hanging

onto the idea of separation from IT or hanging onto any idea about IT.

 

IT cannot be described in a way that will make sense. IT pervades all of

creation and all of creation has sprung from IT. Yet, IT is not stained

or affected by creation. IT is the mystery and the power and the peace

of existence. IT depends on nothing - no devotion, no prayers, no hopes,

no fears have created IT.

 

IT sets us up and lays us down.

 

IT is who we truly are. We can never become IT. IT is not a concept. All

concepts could be said to come from IT while never affecting IT.

 

IT is not the energy that permeates the universe. IT is not the matter

appearing in the void of space. Nor, is IT the void.

 

IT cannot be found. IT was never lost.

 

IT is the quickening in the womb. IT is the last breath of the dying.

IT is the fear and the horror. IT is the love and the comfort.

 

IT is those that seek. IT is those that do not seek.

 

IT doesn't exist. Only IT exists.

 

Well, that's enough.

 

love and peace eternal - michael
