What if you could not hide anything?
Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 9:51AM Notice what happens at the prospect of knowing everything about you is exposed. The mind and ego urge you to protect who you think you are. You are conditioned to internalize opinions and beliefs about yourself. This is the intellectual vision, all the ways you adopt labels, emotions and psychological constructs. This vision of you feels wounded, fearful and wants protection. Softness is viewed by ego as weakness, felt as vulnerability. The ego goes to great lengths to keep you from seeing through it.
As you begin to feel less of a need to hide anything, motivations fall away. Its as if you let go of the cultural conditioning and personal will to do, have and become. Internally, you experience a transition, a shift of focus. This need for references spontaneously vanishes and leaves you speechless. You feel lighter and at a loss for what is next.
Imagine complete transparency. Open the heart to a richness of expanding visions. Notice why you deny what soul knows. You begin to see as the deepest part of you is seeing. This is intimacy. Touching it or catching glimpses is not the same as being it.
"Eyes so transparent that through them the soul is seen." -Theophile Gautier
