Just Point

Just point: 

yesterday I had the great pleasure of having Richard Lang as a guest on my YouTube channel for a wonderful conversation. Richard and Douglas Harding, the Headless Way and their experiments have been a deep and lasting presence in my spiritual life. In 2014 I had a profound awakening through the direct pointing to my true nature. While not lasting in an everyday sense, it's always there to revisit, an easy return with just the right direction of looking. A Course in Miracles has been my life path for over 30 years and it brings me peace and great joy to practice. Talking with Richard, doing the direct pointing experiments, I was struck, not by similarities, but by the openness, the spaciousness they both point directly to. Our true nature, headlessness as Richard and Douglas would declare, holds no grievances, there's no place for a resentment to latch on to and stay, and innocence is the very fabric of its reality. This is forgiveness, just noticing...THIS...

and again, 

it's ever present.

waiting only for our attention.

I love you, Eric

As Less Now

As Less Now:

it's getting easier to be one less thing, dropping self-made images and concepts, beliefs and long cherished opinions, as well as concerns for however others might view me. Maybe it's age, that I'm soon to leave middle age behind and face whatever years are left ahead. But it feels deeper than that, almost a natural meditation of letting go, things appear in temporary order and just as soon and easily seem to slip away with no thought nor effort applied from me.

I see myself as less now.

verging towards emptiness.

and with this I hold everything so lightly.

lovingly.

as capacity for the world.

At Once

At once:

it can't be anymore direct than this, simply looking for our own head, not in a mirror, nor photo, but just relying on our own line of vision and then regarding what is found. This is meant to be an experiment, approaching it with curiosity and innocence, playful, yet taking seriously the results. I like to do this as a more formal inquiry, asking the question "where am I?" and then giving a serious search for self, dismissing object after object until at last my own headlessness is revealed. 

and then I just live myself from there.

there's no need to make a big deal over it.

reality is always present.

and if I ever need to remind myself...

I only need to look again.

I'm equally fascinated by the emptiness found here as I am with the rich texture of the world that immediately fills this newly discovered void. It all happens at once, everything, my disappearance and then rebirth as the appearance of every single detail of the world. And this occurs beyond the realm of time, quicker than instantaneous, already present and available for me to explore. 

I am everything at once.

 and nothingness as well. 

newly discovered,

yet ancient and ever present too.

I am reality, life...

revealing myself in small details of a personal world.

and seen from my own headlessness,

an entire universe shines through.

everything, nothing, 

at once.
