I have been reckless in my assumptions - that the world will meet my beliefs in full compliance, or that my demands are anything more than a opinion given preference. It seems I've assumed a great importance for myself. This is a bit of a paradox - for in reality, I'm part of a very big deal. Yet for this to be so, I have to be absolutely nothing. And I am - I am emptiness expressed fully as the world. But I also have no say in any of this, to be an equal expression of reality gives me no special function or order, no issue of command. It simply means I belong as all existence. What I am is one thing in duality, a distinct appearance of the whole. My great assumption through life was that the appearance was the whole, the part greater than the sum. I forgot to see. So now I meet the favor the world, what's given is what belongs and my wish for things to be more, different, or not here at all, fit perfect in this belonging. My assumption now is that this moment is all that happens, and nothing more is needed to belong.
