How To Find Ourselves

How to find ourselves:

it's about how to find ourselves, how to find our truest, deepest, most authentic self, it's about finding ourselves as presence - and that seems to be the effort of meditation, of self-inquiry, and other means of inner exploration. And yet presence is exactly what we are right now, at all times, without any effort required for our sense of being alive, curious, and present to our current situation. Meditation should be a joy, relaxed, a celebration of our awareness. Inquiry provides us with an avenue for our curiosity, exploring the dynamic nature of our presence, being witness to our ever changing expression, and perhaps the real question of inquiry should be - who am I now, and now, and now? 

with the answer always changing...

even as our presence remains the same.

here's how to find ourselves as presence - relax, and here we are, alive, aware, a flow of breath, a sense of unique beingness, the process of an energetic body, thoughts and the inner stillness of the mind. They're all aspects of who we are, anyone of them brought fully to our attention would lead us directly to presence, and not a single one is a truth completely on its own. 

presence is a mystery.

and knowing that...

we're found.

being a mystery all along.
