Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 DECONSTRUCTION Now (as always), approaching the inevitable, lonely and alone (and this part can ultimately be done only alone), the facade is threatened. Here in the silent aloneness, no others to reflect my being, I look, and cannot overlook the outer sheath of woven constructs I call " myself. " Concepts that constrict the Heart. I look deeply into the volition, the hard-wired urge to move into a better moment (one constructed from twisted memory). I look deeply into the judgment, the jealousy, the recurrent need to be seen, and admired, and affirmed, for self and Self. Looking into the source of the desire for accolade; and then, another... Looking deep, and deeper still, into the thin-stretched outer sheath of limited self-representations (perpetuated by incessant ego activity), constriction of the Heart. I see it all: The child born but not recognized by those who never knew themselves. Known only to herself as the one she had to be. Vulnerable identity repeatedly injured; energy exhausted in its defense. Betrayal upon betrayal. Now, free flowing energy, relaxation of the physical, understanding and honoring of the psychic. There is growing ease in the Nothingness born of wisdom (which is the abeyance of the aimless motion of ego). The method is engaged: Energy focused in active attention; Passive awareness of phenomena, and of its source. The sheath's construction cannot hold. The old weak wound is first to rip. The tattered outside falls away, inside revealed. There is fear in the exposure: (No guiding constructs here in the dark.) Inside, I am nothing. But, suddenly from the nothingness once confined by " me, " the great expanding space. ineffable mystery in Black Velvet Emptiness. And on the other side (of that which has no sides), a clear pervading energy-presence. In the sweet freedom from the identification (which is the freedom of the Buddha), I find myself and other revealed as one: boundless empty space pervaded by ecstatic joy.

Do you know that??? > I look for my head, yet, all I find is this infinite spaciousness containing everything. It's most mysterious. Love is the openess where I once thought was my head, centerless, limitless. Seeing in the present alone, I am certainly headless and you are the face of unconditional love. Leave the head to bury the head. Odan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
