It is what we do when we don’t know, don’t understand what we are doing.
#We deceive ourselves by thinking it can’t be this obvious, this simple, this effortless. It is our thoughts, not our raw awareness, that create confusion, complexity and fantasies of difficulty and expectation. The delusion that this can’t be it when in reality, it always is.
#The eternal unfolding of the infinite everything includes the arising of the futile attempts to describe it. A ruler trying to measure itself.
#Can we be still and attend to this open awareness without describing or narrating?
#We don’t experience things in the present. We are experience and presence simultaneously without separation.
#When we truly and honestly inquire into the present moment with open awareness, without concepts or definitions, we paradoxically find the inseparability of emptiness and abundance inextricably interwoven, undeniably present yet undefinable.
#Notice how we don’t experience time in the same way as we experience bodily sensations. When we really look for the experience of time, there’s nothing to be found in the same way as we come up empty handed when really look for the self we think is so central to our experience.
#“True freedom is the end of separation, this moment of life without ���I’. The presence revealed through the absence of yourself. What remains is this immaculate totality of appearances knowing itself from within just as it is. The obvious truth of every present moment.” Sam Harris

Life lives us without effort. We need do nothing to be fully alive. We can’t stop it, we can’t make more of it. The present unfolding of everything as this moment is always vivid and undeniable yet impossible to grasp, contain or define.
