What's so is always just what's so. What's so doesn't care what
you think, feel, intend or wish; it will not bend. You can be
freaked out or driven over what's so, and it won't change what's
so. If you're late for an appointment, getting freaked out about
it won't have you arrive any earlier. If you're having a bad day,
being freaked out won't change what's so. That which you seek
will not bring you satisfaction - aligning with what's so will.
When you're upset, you're never upset over what's so.

What's so is just what's so.
If your house burns down and you get upset, does it bring your
house back? What's so doesn't care if you're upset; it's up to
you how you handle what's so. There is no confusion in
what's so. When you don't know you just don't know - there is
no confusion there. There's nothing right or wrong about
what's so. What's so is always open to different interpretations.
There's always just what's so, and then you have an interpretation.
What scares you isn't what's so, it's your interpretation. The
interpretation is never true; what's so is real, the interpretation
is not.

Who you're being is just who you're being, and what's so doesn't
care if you're happy with it or not, so why should you? When
you're not being with what's so, that's also just what's so. Why
should you concern yourself? Other people should always be
the way they're being; if you think they shouldn't, that's your
interpretation. Bring yourself back to what's so about them. Until
you can be with what's so, you can't be with anything or anyone.
You may have control over other people's what's so, but none
over their interpretation - give it up.

If you take action or not, it's still just what's so. If it works out
well or not, it's still just what's so. You can never make a right
or wrong decision, or take a right or wrong action. Whatever
you do will always bring you more of what's so, and then you
have an interpretation about it. Whatever you don't have, so
what? Whatever you've done or thought in the past, again so
what? Whatever happens in the future is not to be feared. It's
just going to be more of what's so. The challenge is to spend as
much time in what's so as you can. The chatter in your head
is more interpretation, and it has nothing to do with what's so.
There is nothing wrong with chatter, it's just you listening to
a fantasy.

The thought that there is something wrong is an illusion; there
is nothing wrong, there is only what's so. Notice when you're
comparing what's so to some fantasy of how it should be. Bring
yourself back to what's so and it will be O.K. Ask yourself
what's so, and align with that. Align with what's so and it will
not matter. That is the foundation of transformation and
satisfaction. Not aligning with what's so is the only thing that
will ever bring you hardship or suffering. Life in what's so will
bring you harmony and grace and balance [to face what's so :)].

Ask yourself - what's so about your situation?

The opportunity to trust is never a given.
It isn't that life is testing us so much as offering us
the next chance to gain insight into what makes for
stability.

Great to hear something from Werner again, it's been many years.
ReplyDeleteThank you
When I read this on another blog it just resonated with me so deeply. Something just clicked. It's really just another version of "it is what it is", which has become so cliche-ish, and dismissive - but the *way* he is saying it with different languaging was refreshing. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your note :)
