21 thoughts too many

That which is created and perceived, is that which is impermanent.

That which is prior to creating and perceiving, is that which is forever present.

Thus being and becoming seem separate, but one is inherent within the other.

Only in their apparent separation, does the absence of either become possible.

As such, we attach to one only at the dismissal and ignorance of the other.

In that apparent separation, begins the seeking for what seems absent.

Some embrace the relative, and dismiss the absolute as irrelevant.

Some embrace the absolute, and dismiss the relative as illusion.

To those who dismiss the illusion, or the absolute, embrace each like a lover.

The play of yin and yang, the dance of Shiva and Shakti, are as inseparable lovers.

That play is our play-ground ... that dance is all that is ... that truth is all that we are.

It is not hidden or removed from us, but rather, like a playful child, we hide from it.

To know this truth, is to look no further than the experience of this actual moment.

To live this truth, is to be naked in the light of unconditional consciousness and love.

In the simple act of being totally open, here and now, we are perfectly complete.

Lacking nothing, effortlessly alive and aware, we may surrender to whatever is.

We trust that whatever happens, however it may appear, has its rightful purpose.

We know, beyond any and all doubt, that what we truly are is forever available.

It can never be negated, lost, or taken away, and we inevitably return unto it.

Thus, in life’s crucible of ineffable mystery, without denial or expectation, we are free.

Thoughts freely arise, thoughts freely fall away, in the dream that we are not a dream.
