Our True Nature Desires to Glimpse Itself

Though the human mind may intellectually helpfully entertain the possibility of it and even have thoughts and practices that point to the essence of what is already present, ultimately, it is by the grace of the unfathomable life-affirming wisdom of the presence itself that is the silence, hereness, nowness, ever-presentness, never-changingness, that is understood and experienced as the true nature of everything, that grants a glimpse of itself, not the human mind-body experiment.

Minds need not fearfully strive for this glimpse, for they can be reassured that this presence strongly desires to glimpse itself and continually gives itself this grace. This grace takes the form of the human mind opening and relinquishing control to the presence that is always here. The human mind may feel it has made the decision to do this as it is the generator of thoughts, and it is what is bringing this presence about, but the very thought to do this is, in fact, an arising from this presence itself.

The human mind-body experiment cannot comprehend this presence, for it can only recognise metaphors of it, but once true nature has granted itself a glimpse of its reality, these metaphorical forms are clearly understood and experienced as appearances of the undefinable true nature that is everything, appearing as something.

The human mind-body experiment is but a miraculous process of labelling thoughts about these metaphors that classify them but not the presence itself. By the grace of this experiential glimpse, there is resting as this presence, in which the restless human mind-body experiment finds the safe refuge it has been seeking all along and can cease its neurotic seeking. Through this resting, the human mind-body experiment comes to recognise that it is not what knows and can open humbly in its not knowing to be an appearance itself of this presence.

As this presence attends to itself and experiences its indestructible wholeness, the mind-body experiment can assume its miraculous capacity to perceive the beauty of this presence appearing in a multitude of forms of itself and, now, free of the fog of fearful self-limiting belief. These thoughts are now understood and experienced as a spontaneous array of cosmic events of this presence that appear and naturally guide the practical living of the appearance we call the human mind-body experiment.

What the human mind-body experiment may have once believed to be a personal, separate self is now experienced as this presence glimpsing itself. The human mind-body experiment is but a portal through which to view itself as a beautiful metaphorical form.

All that previously appeared as “doing” is experienced as the flow of this presence naturally being. It is understood that meditation and mantra are not something we do but is something we are, and the human mind body experiment can rest its voice and let this silent presence we are speak for itself as the flow of appearances.

As this presence, all that appears is welcome, with neutrality. As this presence can attend or focus its awareness, this process of attention co-creates what is attended to. And what is attended to is what is loved. What is loved is to find ways of spontaneously expressing its life-affirming nature and perceiving the benefit of this in the human mind-body experiment.

Love,
