ARE YOU READY?
Scattered pieces or our lives pass before us, among us and all around us. But even against such odds, we never give up hope.
There are those that believe we are born to suffer for original sin. I believe we are born for so much more. Each and every one of us is born to find the end of suffering within our lives. We are not born to remain imprisoned. We are born to realize freedom.
This life is a test, not of some divine being, but of ourselves– a rite of passage created by , ventured through and observed withing our own subtle consciousness to solve the unsolveable problem. To answer the unanswerable questions, to process life itself, mapping out its’ ever twist and turn and in the end to finally realize that an answer does not exist. The journey is where the beauty of all wisdom lies, not the destination.
It is the greatest paradox we face in this life and it must be overcome. So simple yet so difficult to realize. Our true nature lies in the wait for us to awaken to its’ wonder– and it lies in total opposition to everything we believe. In reaching forward to grasp the truth, we lose hold of the only thing that really matters– life itself.
Over the span of our lifetimes from birth to the present, we have learned so many things. We have been conditioned to the point of suffocation. Our minds are trapped within themselves and we must now learn to swim or we will drown.
There is not one of us who can lead another to freedom. I can show you the doorway but you must cross the threshold alone. What lies on the other side is that which you fear the most, the truth of who you are. It is what you have been running from all of your life.
On a daily basis we agaonize over the past and we worry about the future. We are never truly present in our lives. This is where our first transgression occurs. The true beauty of existence lies within this moment and if you blink,it is gone forever. Awareness is the key to totality and embedded within totality the essence of freedom breathes, vibrates and surges through each moment of complete purity.
All things are pure by nature. It is the duality-stricken mind which poisons life through its’ attempt to impose its’ will upon it. When this wil is defied,the friction of aversion produces anger, greed, and resentment. At the onset of these feelings, we react in concurrence with our habit to do so. And we lose our balance of mind in a flash of blind fury. There is a way to interrupt this cycle, but you must be determinded to accomplish its’ practice.
First, you must purify your actions so that you create no new friction in your life. then you must learn the art of concentration. Finally you must gain insight through observing your delusions and weeding them out, bringing stillness to the mind and finding peace.
Meditation is not an escape from our problems. It is the means to understanding them. Once the problem is understood, it can be corrected. To fully function, we must bring our meditation into our daily lives. When our practice is balanced, our minds will gain balance, our lives will be pure. At this time we will be free.
Are you strong enough to take this path of boundless seeing? I can show you the way as it was taught to me, if the way is what you seek, but you must venture it alone. The journey belongs to you. You will find strength in awareness, right understanding , and purity; but you wil must only take refuge in your own experience. Are you ready?
