Message From Monica

Today, unexpectedly, came across a a message from Monica in her blog and think its an important message that I'm grateful for and essentially agree with.

Too many of us are stuck on seeking something else other than what is here. For a lot of spiritual seekers it is often enlightenment or awakening and thus the inevitable search for a teacher or guru, Yes, I have also been there. Still, some awakened teachers, I do believe help, such as chip, no1, that I have come across can help.

There are countless others, such as Richard Rose, The Dalia Lama, 16th Karmapa, and many others many have shared it as a mysterious acausal accident. It reminds me of the "many are called, few are chosen" mantra that Richard Rose went on about. A deathly strike that shatters the illusory conceptions of reality. A death to who we thought we were, a death to the limited boundaries of the personal self. A bolt of lightening that traumatises the concrete ceilings of our personal conceptions, shattering the commonly held idea of a personal self. There is none, only the idea of such.

Yet despite all this, awakening, enlightenment and despite undying awareness, which survives death of the body, all that is is inseparable from what is experienced. So there's still a body or vehicle that functions and we don't escape the physical, pain, experiencing, thoughts, feelings and yet it has no concrete absolute undying reality to it and dies. Even the awakening experience is dead.

We Are

We are the ground where the gardens sings. Where birth, growth, change, and death is rooted. We aren't really coming or going anywhere unless we think we Are the flower bending in the wind, growing buds leaning into the sun before the darkness dawns, bound to death, time and space.
