Can you let now be enough?


Can you let now be enough?

It is enough if you allow it.

It’s never the forgetting that counts, it’s the remembering.

The more you rest now in the stillness that exists now, the more the mind vanishes. The mind hates it, because it’s the one place it can’t go. No need to listen to it. It knows nothing, it can tell you nothing about stillness.

Can remembering be enough? Because it is.

If you can be content to remember, you will have everything.

What is real? What is true?
How do you know?

The unchanging truth exists within you, right now, closer than your next thought. Everything else is a commentary, an assumption, a hope or a fear. All options, but not reality.

“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” - Buddha


In each moment we can start afresh and be born again. It just takes the willingness to let go, and immerse yourself in presence. What matters most is how we are now.

It doesn't matter if you think you have lived a good life or judge yourself to have lived a bad life. Begin again.

Courage




"It takes courage to recognize that we are not victims to anything outside of us. Recognizing that we are perfect is one of the bravest things we can do."
- Priya Ishaya

It is so engrained in our habits to look for what is wrong. It takes a strength of conviction to detach from blaming the outside and turn within.

Though the more you rest there in inner stillness, the more you are able to declare from your lived experience that all is well, that there is absolutely nothing wrong.

The mind kicks, saying “who are you to declare such happiness, such freedom?”

The Silence Self, having nothing to prove to anyone or anything, doesn’t stir. It only rests in peace, perfectly.

Right in front of you


If the absolute of divine grace and beauty was right in front of you, would you pay attention?

Perhaps if you pay attention, you might perceive the absolute of divine grace and beauty, right in front of you.

This life is only about where you put your attention. You create your reality based on what thoughts you follow. When you change your thoughts, you change your world. When you look for beauty, you find it. When you look for ugliness, you find it.

The Truth is here, right in front of you. It follows you everywhere. It’s just that you are somewhere else, distracted.

Don't spend your life being distracted. Everything is here, already.
