A momentary knowing

What if you knew that you were absolutely and completely protected at all times and in all places? Sure, you are, but what if you knew it, knew it in such a way that there was no question of a moment's doubt: how would your life be different, how would the experience of each and every moment change? And there is a space where you can know that this is true.
The evidence that you have been absolutely and completely protected at all times and in all places is that you are here now, reading these words. That's the evidence, and it is pretty compelling. Would you doubt it, and if you would doubt it, why would you do so? Your world is as complete as it is. It is evolving as it is evolving. It is coming to pass.
You could come to terms with it, you could love it as it is, and love it as it may become.

Ready, steady, breathe

Always and everywhere I’ve been wondering, wondering and wandering. Thinking there must be something, imagining something and then feeling something, seldom noticing the miracle of existence itself. For here we are.
It seems that, take the view that there is nothing and nothing comes, take the view that there is something, and it emerges, inch by inch, into the day to day, the divine moment arrives. And yet it was always here, right here, right now, this being the time and the place, as it were, that one is. Welcome it, love it, say yes to what you don't know that you always knew.
Always, the only limitation is oneself, and that needs gentle and forgiving work. Ready, steady, breathe.

The Sieve of Yourself

You know it is not about this or that, it is always about you and your relation to this and that. And the way you change your relation to this and that is by changing yourself, so either way it is about you.
Yet it is not about the you that you know to be you, amazing as it is, for you already know that. It is about the you that you do not yet know to be you, which is even more amazing, for in coming to know that, you come to know the gateway to everything, for you know everything through the sieve of yourself.
So life, real life, begins with you, and it begins anew in this moment. And life, real life, is available in all its glory in this moment, for it is not not-being: it is being. And you may have noticed that you are being. And it may feel that there is one multitudinous being, and you are part of that multitude, gloriously interconnecting in a myriad of ways, and yet simultaneously preserving its individuality. An extraordinary concoction, don't you think?
