"To be Free!" by dear Rafael Stoneman
The writer is in freedom all day today. The taste of it is huge and remarkable and unfathomable. With language and without, but the auspicious absence of a thinker/critic/judger… just a taste of beingness… living without anything being more important than another… not divinity, not moksha, not liberation, not anything ever read in a book about being.. just awareness Itself full, no doubt, no ideas, no stories… like surfing thru waves without a surfboard or water… just flowing without a care in the world and the inability to even imagine being attached to something or someone.
Everything I ever imagined “enlightenment” to be is this freedom… but there is no name for it and no one there to try to describe it and no way to care if anyone ‘else’ understands it as there isn’t anyone else… only oneself being all that is and the questioner or responder is either connecting with it in their own self in presence or they are in their own thought or story and feeling separate… i wouldn’t know… cause there ain't no clouds blocking the sun… so if another wants to talk about clouds… i listen and have compassion… but these clouds are in their personal sky, not the REAL ONE>
i would love to be able to touch each person on the forehead and have them wake up to just being and let their personal struggle slide away into the breeze… but that is not my business. Those who want to stay out of stories work hard to do so and then one day they laugh and cry and drink in the pure joy of just being with no way ever to leave this. Who can say when and how such a mysterious, simple, effortless awake awareness is triggered and stabilized… in point of truth it is all that has ever and is ever there… just the appearance of the personal story of thoughts is what causes this perfect self to be glanced over… yet there it is all along allowing the mind to pay attention to whatever story it wants….
it is so beautiful to be free!
