Expeditions for Life

And silence is the greatest speaker of truth. We know this field. It is eternally becoming our true realization. Within it, there is perception. To what degree of clarity the true happenings are perceived depends on the refinement of the seer.

So we get into trouble sometimes. Sometimes a little. Sometimes a lot. But it is all forgivable, because the field we speak of is the field of love. It is all love and love is grace. We are held in the timeless vessel of now-ness. This is the heart’s longing. To belong to the timeless now. It is here, everywhere, all now.

How magnificent that we are all recognizing this reality. It is what is left when the longing is felt all the way through. It is always here. It is our true nature. There is only One being, appearing as many. To know this is to give up every aspect of the felt sense of being separate. It is not a knowing of the mind. It is to witness the way we associate the attention of our awareness in an identified way with thoughts and their accompanying feelings. To see this clearly is to become disillusioned by the play of the world.

So we carry on, until at some moment the reflection becomes so bright, we can’t hide from it. And so, we love nature, because it is always looking back at us through our own inner seeing. It looks without judgement, without falsehood, without projection, without contempt. Here we meet our Self, time and again… until the bounds of time fall away from our conditioning. And then comes the longing. The compassion filled desire to share this simple truth with our human relatives. To alleviate the suffering of separateness. But it cannot be taught in the way we think. It can only be recognized by the Self.

The one aware field becomes aware of itself, all by itself. Yet, never alone. This is our journey as a people. One, appearing as many, caught in-between truth and delusion. The Maya. But the truth is, we are that. Everything is included. So there is no problem because even the conditioned thought-feeling structure of being separate can be seen. Then it is invited to give up its limiting belief and be welcomed back into the wholeness. And that particular aspect of the expression of life can begin to dance and participate in the field of love.

And so, what are you noticing? Is there a stirring in your felt sense of separateness that wants to be acknowledged? Acknowledge it now. And so we begin again. To learn to use the language of love to way find through the conditioned overlay. To burn through the obscurations that turn reality into an individualized world of projections.

And all the seemingly separate pieces get re-integrated as we go.
