"Suddenly
all became silent in the forest and the glade i was sitting in became illuminated
by an invisible light.
An evolving space-time puzzle whose pieces interlock perfectly in the hear and
now. Their meaning is made clear in their inter-association. I recognise this.
This is deeply and strangely familiar. I know this.
Transparent magic display membranes superimposed upon each other, layered to
an unfathomable depth of complexity and pattern. By moving my head around i
can see the different layers.
This is so beautiful i can't take my eyes off it. This is unbelievable.
I feel
the love and power. I feel it inside me and outside me , in my blood , in the
flowers , in the way the plants move and the birds glide in the air. Everything
is alive and talking to me directly . I and i am deeply involved in all of it.
Everything is one living being. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I made it.
I found the way. It was a very long way. It took no time at all. I am here now
.
Now i remember. There is only this. And there is only that. Meaning never meant
so much and so little. It is so good to really know, to really feel , to really
be. They are saying : "You made it! You did it!" I'm saying "YES!
YES! YES! At last! And again! "
We melt into the immortal embrace of the cosmic lovers, the holy communion,
the beginning and end of this story. My heart is open and our love overflows
and creates the universe out of the chaos. I understand everything. I understand
the pain. The split is healed and all is made whole again..."
"...And, just as suddenly as I'd vanished.
As suddenly as I'd been
crushed by the full weight of reality, without any mediating self to
slow the flow of information, just that suddenly, I was IN reality
more deeply than I ever have been. More deeply than can possibly be
rendered in words. More deeply than the puny ego can possibly
imagine. I was able to find enough wits to reassure my wife that I
was more fine than I'd ever dreamed of being....
...Unless you've been there, it's hard to believe, but it
was rapture
hanging my head in the sink. And I was in love with this
skin-bag--this beautiful, juicy, ridiculous, fragile, and
oh-so-temporary meat-sack. The mucous still depending from my lips,
i was suddenly aware of my own warmth and wetness. It was
indescribably comforting and elating. It seemed that until that
moment I'd never felt ANYTHING. A life wrapped in some artifical
fabric that muted every sensation and thought...
...Form and color from beyond this realm mixed with the
forms and
colors of our kitchen. I was so far beyond bliss I couldn't cry,
couldn't move. Yet, I could scarcely bear it. I kept saying, "I
never knew. It's all right here. It's so incredibly together. It all
fits. Everything is completely here, now. It's so beautiful, so
perfect." ...
...This was everything that I'd heard about nirvana. It
was what my Master said
about reality: JUST THIS. I didn't travel to other worlds or
dimensions. I finally woke up to this one. At one point i saw myself
bursting through an infinite ceiling of what looked like amniotic
sacs. i was being "born" into my own world, seeing it for the first
time...
...I saw clearly how everything- even pain and sorrow- was
completely and
perfectly necessary. There may well be beings that feed off of our
sorrow, but in that moment I realized how much a part of REALITY
they were. How they, too, needed sustenance every bit as much as the
mice shivering under my mulch pile and 6 inches of snow-or me or my
wife. All beings have a right to live. Absolutely everything in the
universe is necessary. The first noble truth: life is suffering!
Suddenly i realized that this is true because all things in all
realms feed off of other life. Nothing is created or destroyed. It's
just eaten, assimilated, and become life in another form...
...I saw everything. Clearly. I saw how there were things
you think
about and things you just feel. All my life, I've been trying to do
the right thing. Trying to think my way to the rightest decision,
the best choice. At moments, my self-criticism came to me as a voice
from outside my head somewhere, questioning whether i was doing this
yage-thing correctly. Should i have made the brew this way, should i
have known to do something else. And then, oh!, there on my kitchen
floor I realized that every choice can be all right. All
possibilities were waiting- as I had been all my life-to burst forth
into this incredible, painfully beautiful, terrifying totality. All
decisions that can be made would fit and be connected to everything
else in a completely essential way. Or wouldn't come to be and that
would be essential as well ...
...And yet this wasn't a moral vacuum or the ultimate in
relativistic
thinking. This was a wisdom, a morality, a perspective that was WAY,
WAY beyond mere human rationality and philosophy. The open heart,
the open mind, the inner eye that looks upon this reality will
"feel" the rightness of a course of action and take it without
looking backwith little premeditation. Sounds flat and trite now,
but at the time it was obvious--so incredibly, indisputably true...
...i kept thinking:
someday, you'll be able to see these powers and to heal others.
Don't lose all of this...
...Great love, indescribable joy was the basic quality of
my
experience. Even when I saw that my father would die some day, that
I would miss his physicality with a longing that nothing would ever
be able to assuage, the over-riding sensation was gratitude, love,
joy...."
This is the natural consciousness
we are seeking . This is the real thing. Alive. Conscious. Naturally aligned
to the planetary and cosmic work of art that we are co-creating. Loving and
laughing in the face of adversity...
Let us bring this to ourselves and our communities. The time is always now.
Let's raise consciousness directly and effectively! Let us stop being passive
receivers. Let's be where and who we are meant to be and do what we are really
meant to be doing. We know what that is. What we have here is a compass of compassionate
, intelligent , transformative power that is unprecedented in its effectiveness
and immediacy.
The groundwork is being done, paths and doors are being opened, resonances established
and amplified. Let's leave doubt and hesitation in the dust where they belong.
This is no either/or choice you must make in a once-in-a lifetime opportunity,
but an option that is always there, especially when all other options have faded
away into oblivion. Oblivion is not for you. Fear and loathing are not for you.
Let's let our old skin fall off, it has restricted us for too long. It is never
too late because there is no time to run out. We are here until we work this
out. Nothing lasts forever apart from what we choose to take with us into eternity,
which begins now.
No one is deemed unworthy of this. Everyone is given time.
"Reality" and "i" is a construct in more fundamental ways
than we can normally grasp. Everything and everyone is fully interactive with
you and your conscious and unconscious processes. You are directly involved.
Take power . Take responsibility.
Let's connect all these dots and finally start doing the only thing that will
make us happy and whole again!
If you can't believe me, remember what the Hopi said.
"The time of the lone wolf is over.
Banish the world "struggle" from your attitude and your vocabulary."
A network of us is with you all the way.
