AWAKENING EXPERIENCES UNCOVER ALL THAT HAS BEEN DENIED
With video.
When we relax our grip on ourselves and/or life, something softens, and something opens. When we experience what we may call some kind of awakening, however that may arise, something within stirs.
In that softening and opening, in that awakening, it is as though an energetic door within us also opens, and everything that has been held in the shadows seeks to come through that door to reach the light of being.
For many, this is why things can become more intense, and even more painful, after an opening or awakening experience. Of course, we tend to think something is wrong, or that we have lost that experience, and we start the push/pull of getting it and losing it.
But what may be happening is that a door has opened wider within us, and everything is now seeking to ‘come home to union, to love.’
Our journey requires us to embrace the entire human condition, including pain, trauma, and darkness, rather than avoiding or suppressing them. By opening up to these deeper energies and allowing them to be released, we can find true peace and union within ourselves.
Ultimately, every part of the journey, no matter how painful or difficult, conspires to bring us to this moment. By accepting all that has happened, we recognize that everything has been necessary and perfect in leading us to the present, where true peace resides. Here, in the presence of this moment, we can finally be at peace with ourselves.
I speak about this in the video below.
What grace there is for you You get to carry the lightness of humility Into the world and all its heaviness All you have to do is put down your weapons. ---------------------- Be still And see the world Spinning around you Your healing creates waves of energy That flow out harmoniously Into the fractured field That so desperately needs love. --------------------- When your heart opens Wider than your mind It's not intellectual or philosophical It can't be explained or rationalized It is pure and vast and deep and profound You don't feel less You feel more There is just no story of self in it. ---------------------- Awakening or no awakening Just keep putting goodness Into the world To the best of your capacity Nothing else is needed. --------------------- Friend, have you tasted The depth of the ocean And seen how all things come and go Have you touched the vast unknown Out of which all things arise Belief and opinion Are but tiny waves on this eternal ocean Let go of them for a moment And see what remains For that will be true. ---------------------- What I’m really talking about Is softening so much And opening so wide All beliefs and opinions Are seen as clouds Of no great importance Floating through a vast sky Yes they may bring rain and thunder But even these shall pass, as all clouds do. ------------------------ Mastery of the body and emotional body Or the subtle energy body And mastery of the mind Has nothing to do with control This kind of mastery Is about resting in the equanimity of presence As all things of form come and go A profound letting be Without detaching or bypassing. ------------------------- If sorrow arrives Welcome it with grace If joy should bubble up Welcome it with open arms If the past with all its woes Should visit you Greet it with a smile And a warm embrace Everything that comes Wants love Only you can offer that. ------------------------- As though At least for a moment You suddenly remembered Your true nature As eternity As the stars As divine consciousness As love And the taste of that remembering Was enough And nothing more was needed.
