On the Path to NoWHere

On the path of truth, we must eventually accept that we don't control our excitement and motivation at their roots

Where once our fantasies and desires drove us up the mountain, now there's no meaning left, and without meaning, effort loses its basis

Only compulsion remains as fuel for our actions

From mere thoughts
to attended thoughts
to more and more thoughts
to a larger, coherent story
to a believed story
to a felt conviction
to a felt impression
to a deep conditioning
to a deep-rooted illusion
to an image of the world
to an image of oneself.

The time for the information of this moment to travel to you doesn’t exist.

There is nothing between what is happening and consciousness.

There IS effectively only WHAT IS.

The immediacy of experience is how unfiltered reality is perceived, because there is no time between the state of reality and its consciousness.

Clarity is what is, not what is subsequently thought about it.

Trying to force any spiritual progress for you IS SPIRITUAL REGRESSION.

Realizing this moment again requires no progress.

It’s is a paradox.

What is there to be realized, when the sensations in the body are felt without an imagined time buffer?

When there is only the feeling of the direct experience as it is.

Even the inner resistance against the present experience is effortlessly dragged along by it.

The immediacy of the present experience reveals that something else is in control of everything.

Something higher.

From the perspective of our integrity, the fear of free, emotional expression is truly ridiculous

When we view expression from the desire to be who we are right now—in this moment—it becomes clear how pointless it is to fear that we might not be 'adequate' or 'good enough'

We seek something else!

What is it that is reflected on the surface of the water?

No one is ever alone.

There is no aloneness.

Self-acknowledgement
IS THE PRESENT
as it is.

Are you aware of the emotional flow in your body right now?

Are you conscious of its richness and diversity?

Hot spots. Cold spots. Tingling. Pulling. Pressure. Tension. Throbbing.

Pleasant and unpleasant sensations mingle as one.

Our mind’s evaluation of life is an illusion.
It’s merely an opinion, not the truth.
The truth is obvious.

Be with it as it arises.

The past was responsible for how for are feeling now.
The present is not responsible for how you are feeling now.

You are present. You are here. You are now.

Reality on the surface of a pond.

This present moment is the best chance to practice your awareness of this moment, because it is already here.

Experience/learn that you don’t have to react to it.

Uncomfortable sensations in the body are not harming You. They are perfectly managed by the body.

No one’s present sense of self can be judged as wrong

It just is as it is

Opinions don’t make it right or wrong

Self-rejection is just as contagious as self-acknowledgement.

What do you want to be infected by?

Your higher self isn’t you.

Observe very closely:

Does your body need any help right now in managing the flow of sensations.

Observe. Observe. Observe.

The present feelings are not the present state of your separate self.

The present feelings are the present state of the Universe.

Innocent. Inevitable. Unquestionable.

Honest shame is a response to your present situation; core shame is endlessly made up by thoughts

Honest guilt is a response to your present situation; core guilt is endlessly made up by thoughts

Honest fear is a response to your present situation; core fear is endlessly made up by thoughts

We don’t need to blame ourself for the present, emotional state of the body

We don’t need to shame ourself for the present, emotional state of the body

We don’t need to have fear for the present, emotional state of the body

We don’t need to question the constellation of the stars

Don’t let yourself be shamed for the feelings that are present at this moment

Don’t let yourself be blamed for the feelings that are present at this moment

Don’t let yourself be frightened of the feelings that are present at this moment

No shame about truth. No guilt for truth. No fear of truth

„This is how I am now“ … can only be recognized now.

Undeniable, emotional integrity.

What is the only experience that you have ever been conscious of?
