Everything is Eternal Being, Eternal Consciousness, Eternal Awareness that just IS. Plug in whatever word works for you. “IT” is ubiquitous = everywhere at the same time, aware of everything that is occurring all at once.
The mind
really can’t fathom this, so it creates words, stories, and images, like “God”,
which personifies (person-ifies) what cannot be person-ified, to try to explain
what cannot be explained – including words like Beingness, Consciousness, and
Awareness… :)
There is
just the Pure Space of Awareness – everywhere! It is an alive
Space appearing “empty” – like the
sky, or space itself. Yet, everything is suspended in this Space,
as if by “magic.” Everything is “held”
in that Space of Emptiness, exists in that Space – including you and I… A mystery.
The
“trick” is to see from the
perspective of this Eternal Space, from the Space of Infinite Beingness, rather
than from the place of “Earth mind” that only sees the “Earth mind” as real;
does not see the bigger picture of being suspended
in this Space, but only thinks its immediate
reality is real – when in fact it is only part of a much larger Reality that
lives and breathes this reality into existence.
How would
life change if we started to see our lives in this way, from the perspective of
Eternal Awareness – Ubiquitous Awareness – Omniscient Awareness… From this place of Space… What would happen if we started viewing each
other from this perspective? Something I
fail at miserably...
This is the dis-entanglement from the
matrix of our personal life dramas – to see
all of it differently – to see the
Eternal Infiniteness of all things.
We are
being breathed by this Space of
Infinite Awareness, by the Cosmic “Spirit” – if you will. I feel
IT when sitting in the space of Silence – the Still Point - being Aware. This
is intimacy with Eternal Being – this sense of intimate connection through the
breath of Silence. It runs through the
whole body, is in every cell: the energy of Eternal Being…
This is
what we abide in already and don’t
even realize it. It is a natural abidance in this Space of
Eternal Beingness. We abide in the
Infinite naturally. We are just not always aware of it, don’t have a felt
sense of it… And so we constantly look for/seek what we call “God” or “The
Divine” when it is already what is always right here as Pure Spacious
Awareness; is what we breath, and breathes us, is what bathes the cells, and
permeates “our” world. This Divine
Energy of life continues on after death, but we focus on the physicality and
not the “spirit energy”, that sustains and animates the body – that which never
dies. We only see personalities and not
the Beingness of the person. I know this
is true for me. But if we really look, what is really there…
We try to
wrap our minds around the concepts of “God” or “The Divine”, “Emptiness”, “The
Infinite”, etc., but the mind cannot really fathom what that really is…
We must let go of our thoughts about
“God”/Awareness/Consciousness, and just experience
being suspended in “IT.”
It seems
so esoteric and yet we can feel the
realness of it – experientially, through awareness, direct awareness, direct
experience when we don’t overlay it with the minds images – imposing labels,
names, stories and images on it,
which only hides the Truth of It - deceives us and deludes us – because we believe the mind’s version.
Everything
is ultimately a story – my life is a story, your life is a story. In reality the “eternal story” is about "returning" to/recognizing who we really are underneath the personal story – our Eternal
Beingness. Ultimately it is the Eternal Story being lived
here. If I don’t see myself as a separate person
from Eternal Beingness: a separate person having a personal life, then I can feel this Infinite Space coursing
through my body – and know that THAT is the Truth of who I am. That frees me from all entanglements and dramas
that have been created by the story of “me” that I have believed in my mind…
