Why Presence is just the Beginning – A Prayer
Experiences that shall not be named
Fire is growing in me as the year of the fire horse is on the rise. It feels like lightning coming through my eyes!
What I’ve experienced in the last couple of weeks in Bali is too sacred to just be named here. The dimension of energy (and beyond) became so real that I became it.
Presence – keeping attention – surely is the most challenging task, but it’s also just the beginning. The beginning of getting to feel spirit.
Theory, tradition, and the ‘present moment’ are entry gates, pathways, to a much deeper knowledge.
Am I willing to go into it?
It would mean to abandon my ideas and surrender completely to a deeper intuition, which corresponds with the will of the universe.
I would need to face my fears as I encounter everything I’ve been trying so hard to avoid.
I would need to stop telling stories about who I am and what my life is meant to be, and actually listen.
Am I ready for this?
Because if I choose, a whole new world opens.
Where pain and suffering are the messengers, not the enemy. Where they are honored, not fought.
A world in which light and darkness play together, like two innocent children in the sandbox.
Where no one gets to be right or wronged, and where balance is not a chase, but the natural state.
I’d need to wake up from an entertainment-based trance, induced by those wanting to control. So that I can fall into a trance with spirit itself, feeling everything, and returning to this world to serve – until I’m done.
There may be something that you feel reading this, some glimmer of love, of light that’s in harmony with darkness. If you can feel this, then this journey may also be for you.
