Taking The Leap |
Taking the leap into our inherent wholeness is where humanity is headed — this is the evolutionary leap.
Stillness is the nature of the heart of Being, so we take the leap into inner quiet to harmonize our awareness with our natural condition.
But taking the leap into the ocean of our Being can seem scary. And as one gets close, fear of the unknown or what the mind thinks might be in the unknown usually shows up. Then this ego/mind can come up with all kinds of excuses and reasons to delay or postpone — and these tactics can get extremely subtle.
So initially, there needs to be a desire to stop indulging in illusions and maybe even disgust at the mind’s cop-outs. And to make it a priority to hold an attitude of courage, trust and openness to just be and see.
And as a silent witness, we remain conscious, allowing thoughts to come and go. Then we can notice that we are the awareness that is aware of the ego/mind —and this one does not need thought to be.
Once it's personally experienced that this fundamental awareness is always free and whole and always available, we joyously leap into the ocean of our Being again and again. It’s realized to be the play of the Self, going out then returning home. |
