Risk it all

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Life may not always fit into your ideas of how it ‘should’ be. It may not always feel comfortable. But there comes a point when you are just so tired of chasing temporary experiences of peace and love, and hoping for a perfect future ‘one day’. There comes a point when you acknowledge that your deepest longing is to wake up to reality no matter what. There comes a point when it is time to risk losing it all, and to courageously take a step into the unknown.

Dancing on the surface

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

Many so-called seekers are dancing on the surface, tasting many flowers, but never really courageously dive deep into what is real right here now. This comes from a idea that “something ‘more’ might satisfy me one day if I keep looking out there”. It is an endless agitated energy that will never be satisfied. It will always be looking for the next fix. If you really want to explore what is true, at some point you need to stop and feel what is here, instead of continuing to dance to the next flower. Feel that agitated energy when it comes up, rather than just blindly following it.

A Beggar for Approval

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

When we believe that we need others approval, love or acceptance, we are like beggars. We believe that what is, is not enough, and that what we need is in someone else’s hands. Without the crumbs of attention that someone else might occasionally throw at us, we are bereft, lonely and generally lacking. This has perhaps become such an old habit, to energetically reach out there, that we have forgotten how to really meet the other, and more importantly, meet ourselves in whatever is really felt. Beyond this old habit, there is the genuine longing to meet beyond all boundaries. But it requires giving up the position of need which has felt so safe and familiar for so long. Without that position we just don’t know how to interact anymore. And in that not-knowing, there is the openness to meet and be met as we truly long for.
