No change, no life

Where are you exactly? Are you in your head, your heart or your gut. Take a moment to notice where you really are, and as you notice you may sense yourself to be the noticer who is barely noticing, closer to the unchanging core than the changing self you see around you. It dances with the world but you are more akin to a conductor, orchestrating the flow that is all around you and inside you now.
The objective self lives, the subjective self simply is, the objective self does, the subjective self simply exists, but, and here's the twist, the subjective self only experiences itself through the change created and responded to by the objective self. No change, no life.

Snoozing Behind the Objective self

Once upon a time, wo-man, blessed with self-consciousness, mistakes self for the self heshe observes, and mistakes the rest of the world for what is not himher, and the sense of the other is born. Apparently, wo-man has become what heshe is not, confused with and suffused by the objective self.

Then wo-man starts to awaken and notices that what was being seen, the objective self, was no more self than the rest of the world; just a giant canvass, a cucoon in which one dreams, enjoying a rather engrossing Truwoman show.

But you are not the cuccoon, though cuccooned you may be, and you aren't the canvass, though you may be painting in swooshes, and there is refreshment further afield, and infinite resource to call upon. Come, let's fly.

Welcome to the isness

A lot of the time we feel stuck in the past, the future and the physical. Like me, as I sat here. Untaken paths, possible paths and physical paths distract us from the real path, which is simply being. Temporally, this can feel like being and becoming, but there is really no becoming, just becoming aware of what is.
And it's really easy, unavoidable even, to start becoming aware of the isness, because the isness has marked itself out in contrasts, in order to be seen and felt, and yet the parts are all, of course, parts of the whole.
But now, and here's the clever part, you are part of the isness too, you are not separate from it, even as you observe it; observer, observed and the process of observation are really three in one, a glorious trinity. And this is the isness.

Everything must go

As another quarter begins, a moment to reflect on direction and energy, and how you know you are going with the flow; where do you feel it? And how do you know when you are resisting? So you know there's more to you than meets the eye - in fact you are anything but visible - and so much to sense: where are you headed as you imagine 2010 and beyond.
Life begins in every moment. It sprouts forth in abundance, it has no option, elegantly when not resisted; but don't resist the resistance. Let that flow too, and as you let it flow you let it go, and that is a sign of life, for life is change. Everything must go, and as it goes more arrives. You can stifle your experience of the flow, but the flow goes on.
