If we choose to make it so, the rest of our lives can be a slow motion explosion where we continually experience one moment of awakening after another. If allowed to continue, layer after layer of illusion will die off and fall away and we will eventually experience The Shattering Place.
In the shamanic tradition of this continent we are taught that with proper intention and continued disciplined effort we can stop projecting darkness and illusion which, whether you are aware of it or not, is the way most of us live every day of our lives. We can reach the place where we know ourselves as Beings of Light limited only by our imagination.
When that day comes you have Shattered the Mirror of Self Reflection. No longer are you defined by any external force. You will have no need for titles or credentials and no investment in the projections of others. The only yardstick by which you will measure yourself will be internal and based in constant present awareness and integrity. You will know yourself by living the difference between self awareness and self definition. You become undefinable even to yourself. You appear to be a living breathing paradox. You finally know yourself by losing the need for self definition.
This is a Path well worth Walking.
Even though the experiences you have will fly in the face of everything you think you know, even though you may seem to teeter on the edges of sanity, even though every relationship you have will change and many will end. Even though . . .
This is a Path well worth Walking.
Listen to your heart, moment by moment it will show you the next step.
Shatter the Mirror
Enter a state of Being where the deepest Love resides.
A Love so vast that :
every act of Love that has ever been,
every song of Love
every poem,
every precious gift given
every loss deeply mourned
every sacred sexual union . . .
where even the grandest expression of Love that you can imagine
is but a tiny spark that leaps fearlessly
from the Great Fire that Burns in the Heart of the Universe
into space and dances in the darkness . . .
This is a Path well worth Walking.

ReplyDeleteThis is much like our conversation with your brother and his "onion layers" being stripped away to find the CORE the veyr kernal that makes us who we are. After it is all stripped away, you are only left with that to take you.
I am VERY glad that I had the opportunity to have met you. Your energy, passion and wisdom really affected me and my wife. I am so glad that you and your brother were able to SHARE that special moment when the one we all love crossed into the next life...that made me cry. Both at our tremendous loss, but also in all that we gained in having known and loved her. You were THERE at the most peaceful beautiful moment of someones life...when it ends. Such a beautiful blessing and I can think of no one who could have appreciated more than you and your brother. My wife and I thank you for sharing yourself and your story with us.
