Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Radiantly Alive The true emptiness is when you realize there is much more to it than this protected emptiness. When the bark falls open, when you get to the core, the ideas about yourself and others are seen to be untrue, seen to be just contrivance. You see these as things you were taught and took on, put on like clothes that say, " This is who I am. " When the mind is radiantly empty, it's a very alive emptiness. And when the heart is felt to be deeper than emotional, but is not emotionless, not a dead heart, there is sunshine in the middle of winter. Have you ever walked outside on one of those freezing mornings, and it's really cold even though the sun is out, and you think, " How can it be so cold on such a bright, sunny day? " When you are coming from the sun here in yourself, then there is always warmth. The true emptiness is radiantly alive. ~ Adyashanti Emptiness Dancing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your breath is leaving you, your heart is barely beating, your life seems to be held in some wicked balance, and the sound in your throat is strangled, and the tears blind you and you cry like a baby and can't seem to catch your next breath and you wonder just how you are here in this place of Now, this Peace that holds you captive. This is that absolutely glorious exquisite moment you have been waiting for all your life. The earth and heaven have sprung a leak in you, it is a watershed experience, how could you have missed this all in your Before Life, this utter utterly unimaginable Beauty that is Living You. The Kindness of You. The Wonder of You. This Love of You. This Knowing of You. This Unspeakable Ecstacy that has ordained You and recognized itself in this one small small life.
