Since I've begun blogging non-poetry at Dropping a Paradigm, and not posting anything here lately, until I do again, I'll post one post a week here from Paradigm.
The other day I was thinking of the potentiality of Pure Awareness, and the spiritual practices that allow one to tap into it, when I suddenly realized that particular thought was completely backwards.
I cannot emphasize enough the word, realized.
It was as if the thought of ‘me thinking’ was turned around, seen through, disappeared, terminated with extreme prejudice, and the realization of the Self was here and now.
Now this wasn’t the first time such realization has happened, but when it happens as it did suddenly and unexpectedly from the perspective of the Dream, it brings a rush of understanding.
And I understood in truth, there is nothing I, in the Dream, can really do.
Adyashanti describes the Dream’s experience of Emptiness in two ways. The first is the emptiness of emptiness, a cool emptiness. But the second is a deeper experience of Emptiness as if your being is dancing.
I felt as if my being was being danced, and everything was vividly alive.
But this happened while driving, so thought reappeared relatively quickly, so as to avoid any appearance of an accident.
But that realization was no accident; it was intent itself. And it really didn’t happen the other day; it’s happening now.
