“The key
is constantly ‘returning’ your awareness to the awareness of Primordial
Consciousness, Primordial Presence, Primordial *Life* before form. We are constantly challenged to wake up and
remember this…”
This came
out of a conversation with my husband the other day, in the face of life’s
challenges that are currently occurring here on an ongoing basis that I lament
about and feel pulling me away from this deeper sense of Awareness.
However,
I also know that intentional and conscious awareness of Primordial Silence is
the key to “remembering” – for me. The
Primordial Silence of Life calls to me, like and old friend – inviting me,
waiting for me to respond, to come and be still – to be aware. All I need do is consciously turn within and
*meet* It - the Primordial Life *in* everything, the
Primordial Silence that *is* Life - and feel It, experience It, open up to
It.
I’ve been
trying to put a *face* to this Primordial Silence that just IS – with names like
Spirit, or The Infinite, or The Divine, or God, when in Truth, it is the vast
nameless Unknown – and even that is still an attempt to name it, to bring into
focus what is simply Divine Simplicity - Awareness that cannot be “person-ified.”
Intimacy
with the “Divine” (Primoridal Consciousness) is what we are “made” for –
stripping everything else away, all resistances, all ideas and names *about*
what that is, or thoughts *about* what it should look like, and allowing the
veils that keep us from this Divine Communion of Silence to drop away… Letting Primordial Silence/Presence permeate
every cell – rather - *recognizing* that it permeates every cell – that IT is
WHAT we are, and have never been separate from.
This *awareness* of Primordial Silence is the medicine, the elixir of
Life – dissolving everything that has allowed us to believe in separateness
from this Divine Intimacy that is eternally present in ItSelf – in us.
It is a
conscious endeavor to remember that no matter what is going on, there is always
Intimacy with Primordial Silence – the Ground of Being, of Existence and all
that exists. I just need to keep re-turning
to It: the awareness of Primordial Intimacy with Life ItSelf!
