Student Talks on "The First Step to Realizing the Unimaginable Fulness of Your True Self" (5/3/24)

How to Realize the Unimaginable Fulness of Your True Self
 
Any attempt to bring an end to your sense of feeling empty serves only to strengthen the illusion of a false self that believes it can outrun its own imagined nothingness. Both illusions are filled with real enough terror, yet neither can be slain any more than a shadow can be put to death by a knife.
 
On the other hand, to allow emptiness ITS LIFE -- whenever it may appear -- slays both the painful illusion of it as well as the false self that is so fearful of it. Then real Emptiness and her beautiful sister, Fulness, appear at the same time, revealing their timeless secret: they are celestial twins who are never apart from one another. 
 
They only seem to be separate from one another because each is so overwhelming to behold by herself that to look at just one blinds you to the existence of the other.
 
Within you -- only still sleeping -- lives a higher order of being that neither fears the momentary appearance of any imagined emptiness... nor does it imagine some new sense of fulness to escape that fear.

Lights Along the Way

How I love to wander through fields of light, stopping here and there to see, and to stand in silent awe as from its ground flowers never-ending insight, gently asking me to remain there long enough to give each newborn revelation... the love it needs to die.
