Come into Remembrance

(Visionary Art by JR Slattum--threyda.com)

Notice if we have some difficulty, we are used to saying how can we make our mind different, what do we do about it? How do we get beyond whatever holds us back? How do we/I let go? Every stage is appropriate for the stage we are at. What occurs when we no longer ask what to do with or about it? When we no longer attempt to manage conditioned self, stop seeing a destructive pattern to fix, then the projector behind it reveals itself. Every point of view is a level of consciousness complete at every moment. Consider going to the root. This is the point where we see beyond obstacles to surmount or situations to 'work through'. This is not for everybody. The way you are used to dealing with yourself, whatever is causing difficulty, can shift to seeing from a point that is truly objective. When we are no longer affected emotionally, then the root arises. Focus shifts to what it is that feels what you feel? Things get quiet quickly. It brings us into the lived experience of being ourself, shows us immediately "I really do not know." The more you look inside to find yourself, the more you find a false self. There is nothing wrong with this. Its simply not primary. It leads us exactly where we wish to go- the Void, mystery, the Nothing. Look into the mystery behind all your ideas and aspirations. Behind all the drama, stories, and personality, is the Nothing. Everything is about avoiding the Nothing that is ever-present. To fall into the Nothing behind the mask called 'you/ me, self/other' is to discover what we really are. It is not what we imagine it to be. It does not end up being the Nothing we assume, but much more than that. It reveals itself beyond concepts. Everything in the mind is distracting us from the Nothing; that perceived past (memories), future, anxiety or whatever seems to happen in between. All of this invites attention for lessons or whatever we assume is gain. The concept of "who am I" takes shape as you dive into infinite waters. It spontaneous awakens. Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki echoes, 'the Most Important Thing is to find out the Most Important Thing.' Until you find out what is The Most Important Thing to/for you (not what someone says should be the most important), you have not yet touched your true power, ignited the inner spark or fire. Tune in, see how it moves. Watch and experience what you really are relate and function in the human experience. Be aware how you operate, every cell, organ and aspect of being. How does true nature see your conditioning. Life is self-authenticating. The Truth is Self-evident. A true teacher keeps you on track and points the way for you to find things out for yourself, step by step. Come into remembrance.

Know we are in this together

As we take a moment to understand where a troubled person is coming from, that is, why a person is troubled or is causing us trouble, this enables us to sense we are in this thing called life together. 

Problems you detect are teachers that can be developed and nurtured as qualities inside. Predjudice blocks your objective observation and how to be at peace with whatever unfolds.  Be aware that opening the mind to connections with everyone enables one to access secrets of kindness, compassion and wisdom.

Its not what you imagine

Human beings each come their own understanding of a given set of circumstances.  This includes what they are, where they are, why they exist, how they came to be and a variety of other things.  Whatever you think and feel has awareness or being but it is not always what you imagine it to be.  Reflect on how you perceive the world and your place in it.  How do you discern points of reference or not?

One perspective is that reality exists in objectivity.  That is, everything you use to describe it is anything but the truth.  The mind that projects the world you experience determines what each aspect means to you.  What is real does not relyon memory and expectation, taste preferences, desire and fear or polarity.  It is what it is.  You remember as you connect the dots and align Cosmic Synchronicity.
