Nature is a reminder of our formlessness.
When we step out into nature,
We begin to feel so much more present.
Why is that?
When we look at a tree or walk it or see a bird or whatever aspect of nature we're focused on at any point,
Why does that make us more present?
Because you are surrounded with alive you.
There is nothing outside of you.
And nature calls us to presence because our formless being,
Which is shared with that tree,
With the earth,
With the ground,
Is calling to us and recognizing.
When we walk past a tree,
It recognizes our formlessness.
And we begin to recognize in return.
When we walk in nature,
When we sit in nature,
It recognizes our formless nature and calls to us to come more closely to that self-recognition.
Everything is about self-recognition.
And not the self of me,
Me,
Me,
But the self that's so free,
So free.
The self that is formless.
The self that is one with all of nature and all the galaxies and timeless beginning,
Which has no beginning.
And at the beginning of what we can imagine to have begun,
Because it always is,
There was silence,
There was stillness,
And there was space.
And from that silent,
Still space,
Consciousness is.
And then there was a movement and feeling and light and sound.
And from those expressions of consciousness,
The worlds were created.
And nature naturally formed a world that grew from the elements that surrounded it.
And it was able to do this because it was one,
Feeding itself things that responded to rain that naturally happened,
Things that responded to sunlight.
And even our own bodies are not different with awareness than the animals or plants,
Because we are all from that one formless space.
And that space individuated into expressions of plants,
Of wind,
Of atmospheres,
Of sun,
Of humans,
Of waters,
And this one individuated into these various expressions,
And each self-recognizing.
So the water greets you when you put your toe in it,
And it waves at you to come closer.
It knows you,
Recognizes you.
And may we,
Through this process,
Enhance our recognition,
Because you already recognize and are in awe of the oceans.
And not a flower,
If you really look into it,
Begin to see its colors,
How it grows,
And let the label go within each element that you encounter outside of yourself is the seed of consciousness,
Which is not outside of you.
And that's where we go with oneness,
Is to go beyond the vision,
Go beyond the vision,
Go beyond the sense of smells into the realm of feeling,
Because only there can you recognize that that tulip is consciousness as you are.
Enjoy getting to know our vast,
Vast self and self-recognize.
