Beyond the blinding flash
Friday, April 13, 2012 at 2:44PM Beyond the blinding flash of insight are stepping stones. Rather than assume one pivotal moment, event or milestone is it, you are invited to love openly, come what may. Trust in the universe, in whatever you are doing or not doing. Trust in time so you don't dwell on it; trust in whatever is this great process that is working in you, making its own way to fulfillment, and get out of the way as much as you can. You come to see what truly matters on your own, and find yourself by yourself. Notice what captures your attention and seems significant only at different stages of your life.
In essence, you can only ultimately rely on yourself. You can reach out for guidance during your journey and come to notice everything points back to your own inner knowing. The quieter you become, the more you hear. True freedom can’t be taken away because it reveals itself as ever-present upon awakening. One knows that in whatever situation unfolds, inner life is always free.
"Just think of the trees: they let the bords perch and fly, with no intention to call them when they come and no longing for their return when they fly away. If people's hearts can be like the trees, they will not be off The Way." - Langya
