I asked myself this question:
Who am I?
Then I sat in a silence occasionally interrupted by a thought or a sound or a memory. For a while, the screen in my mind was filled with a nebulous, white haze. So I asked the question again. After a while, I found myself in the cosmos, in a star-speckled indigo darkness.
It is strange to say that I 'found myself there' because, in fact, 'I', as I generally think of myself, was not there. Instead, this cosmic space. So I surmised that I must be that. Or rather, I must be that which brought it into being, or a part of that which brought it into being.
It was then that I felt the undeniable presence that pervades all of life, that is both the lowest common denominator and the grandest, limitless, all-pervading, all-encompassing presence beyond which there is nothing. And I knew beyond doubt that I had to be, at one time the expression of it and the power of it and that I carry within and as me, all of it.
Happy to know all was answered. :) That discovery is like truth in seeking.
ReplyDeleteI was too :)
ReplyDeleteOne of many instances, beyond our dumbness - where we were given the answer before we asked the question - but we didn't believe teacher did we?
ReplyDelete(My "teacher" has recently been to Malaysia - Prem Rawat)
Can I stay behind after school?
Namaste, Lucy (where've you been?)
Tim!!! Where have you been???
ReplyDeletePrem Rawat? I have seen him a couple of times on TV here in Oz. So, he's in Malaysia huh? I'm sure he'll be more than well received. He is a gentle fire!!!
Oh, we are too impatient and too stubborn. The answer must come NOW and in THIS PARTICULAR WAY if I am to recognize it. How does the infinite find its way into the pinhole of an eye that we seek it with and that too, with a boulder in front of the eye????
Interesting, inspirational and educational. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha - so true Lucy, so true - the pinhole of the known - which can only face backwards.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you.
Thank you for your inspiration.
