Being is Becoming. The dance and the dancer are the same.
Try to dance, and you lose the authenticity of the dance. Dance like there’s no tomorrow, and you become ‘that’ Moment.
Awkwardness is non-accepting the fullness of “What Is”. Awkwardness is ‘thinking’ and acting that my universe is ‘better’ than The Universe. Dystonic is dis-harmony. Letting go of thinking and conditioning allows ‘Fullness’ to enter. And that is freedom from the tyranny of self.
The presidential election of 2016 was monumental in terms of the impact of the unexpected result. Most people’s jaws dropped or were ‘unhinged’, at the results. This includes both sides. Shock and awe had a new reference point.
The pollsters, the talking heads, and the media got it so wrong. The attempt to predict the movement of the universe is futile. Our attempt to predict, is a backward attempt to control. ‘Control’ is not necessary in the infinite randomness of the ‘no thing’ called The Universe.
The control thing is one thing. But the real butt of the joke here is the total con of our identity into the parade. How many people were uncontrollably shocked? The number of people that were, that day, is equal to the number of people getting on the float in the ‘parade’ of things. The ‘parade’ is not were we should be in terms of over-investment in ‘things’. It is entertaining, but it is not close to being substantive. The ‘parade’ is ‘things’ going by in the perishable envelope of temporariness.
If we trust and depend on the temporary, then we acquiesce our Selves to minor roles in our own development.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. Lao Tzu
This is not to say we laud unskillful behavior. This is to say that unskillful behavior IS unskillful. However, when we stop ‘acting’ and consume ourselves with ‘reacting’, we have transferred our objectivity and freedom to a lesser vehicle. This lesser vehicle is certainly back ’in’ the ‘parade’ and thereby loses the objective perspective of having ’no player’ in the game. ‘All’ players are actually in the game (when we source from the Source).
Our own worst enemy is separateness. There is no other. There is no self. There is no ‘doer’. It is just “Is”. Throw your hands up and slide, drop and lose the mind. Juju on that reaction. Acceptance is not approval. Righteousness is just as hard and dense from either side. Either side IS separateness.
See the separateness as extreme and unreal. See ‘that’ from the bottom of the boundless heart. The coursing of selfless love can soften a hardened heart. If love is what we are looking for, it can be found in abundance, in the openness of space, infinite space. Putting ourselves or someone else, in a little box, is not a lot of space being given.
Separateness, hard borders, righteousness, hate, vilification, and unabated reaction, are not the treatment we would like to give our loved ones nor the rep we want others to give us. The density of being in the ‘parade’ shows up when we have concluded that the ‘parade’ is what counts. Polarization cannot be found in the Oneness of Being. Being is inclusiveness to the max because there Is no other.
Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained. Lao Tzu
This is truly the starting and endpoint of any conversation in the pursuit of Truth and The Way. See the Silence, keep da beat.
