Very forever.
So,
Wherever you are,
Whatever you're doing,
This is a gift of a moment to just come back to yourself.
Whatever that means to you.
Feeling your feet on the ground,
Feeling the support of the ground beneath you.
Maybe just exhaling and letting it all go.
And appreciating your aliveness in this moment.
The gift of life,
Vitality,
Quickening you,
Animating you.
We have this gift in this moment to be alive,
To be awake.
And we don't know if we'll have this gift in the next moment.
We can only deeply receive this gift and enjoy it.
Give ourselves back to life in whatever way our heart is called to.
We can only receive this gift in whatever way our heart is called to.
Some people hear the word salvation and their heart opens up and they feel great joy and great hope.
Others hear the word salvation and they might want to cringe with the different connotations that that particular construct carries for them.
Notice what the word salvation does in your body,
In your being in this moment.
What does it evoke?
What about the construct of liberation,
Enlightenment?
Some people hear this sound,
Hear this word,
And their awareness just opens up into the immeasurable expanse.
Just the finger pointing at the moon is enough of a reminder to take them back to this primordial essence.
And others hear this word,
This sound,
This construct and they contract or they become disinterested.
It sounds like so much new age voodoo fluffy spirituality.
Notice what's true for you in this moment.
The splash you feel through your body,
Through your being when you hear this word,
This construct of liberation,
Enlightenment.
And now start to let go of the sounds,
The words,
The constructs,
The lines that we've drawn across reality.
And just allow yourself to be real.
Allow yourself to be reality.
Unmediated by any thought,
Any opinion.
Just relax and feel yourself to be this primordial essence.
Notice as you relax how sensitive you are,
How awake you are,
How everything you experience,
The fullness of this moment arising,
You experience because you're aware,
You're awake,
Intelligent,
Conscious spirit,
There's no name for it but here we are being.
When you really just plunge into this simple feeling of being,
It feels as though we're ancient.
Whatever this awakeness,
Whatever this intelligence is that is awake in this moment did not just suddenly become aware the moment of our human birth.
It seems to stretch back across the eons.
And in this timelessness,
You might be able to sense that the very intelligence you are in this moment stretches endlessly forward across the eons,
Even beyond time altogether.
This timeless,
Boundless essence in you has always been you,
Has always been at the very heart of where you are.
On one hand it takes great effort,
Great discipline to train our focus,
Our attention on this timeless aspect of self.
And on the other hand it takes no effort at all to simply be,
To radiate this being,
To be aware,
To be awake.
Any name we give to this quality,
To this essence,
To this territory will always be too small to comprehend the fullness of what we really are.
