Whole Cloth Of Mystery

nothing has to be - our own becoming a great surprise and itself a mystery. I find myself present through no will of my own, no grand design of permanence, or lasting change beyond my time. To find myself here at all is a gift, and given wonder to my part as a brief appearance within existence. It's of no doubt that I am of whole cloth, a body of earth and stardust, particles gathered to form while still dancing amidst formless nature. This all came to be, right now, with no reason or concern, it simply is, I simply am - the whole cloth of mystery. 

Appearing as this.

Isness

life, happening now, at once, and suddenly finding

myself awake to the inexplicable is-ness of

it all - 

not a participant, 

but belonging as the

whole. 

~

Nothing more from here - yet still there is a world to explore. It's a paradox (so it seems) being awake to this very, and only moment, and still knowing nothing of existence save our own belonging. But it's enough - and we this mystery to explore. 

Peace,

Such As It Is

such as it is, I do have a practice - it's not a mindful breath, nor a noted thought, all though these too can come into play. Even a mantra is given space to roam. And that's the simplicity of my one true (and only) practice - it's all allowed. 

I am

Being

Presence

These are only words, signpost, to this great occurrence - it is not an individual me that allows an event or appearance to occur, it's that there is only the allowance itself, including what appears and all that happens too. The words above hint at the vastness of this mystery - but only barely. So again, my practice: 

I am

Being

Presence

There's nothing more I need to do - it all happens on it's own. My only role is to remember, and let it go from there.

Once More To The Equation

yes, it's all here, this moment, the infinite in the guise of world, and time, and daily matters - there is nowhere beyond right now. Yet there is no measure to this present mystery, no fathom to the depth of possibilities. To be open, and to know this moment truly, is to be empty of all notions aside from not knowing how it will all play through. Seeing this does not subtract us from the magic but only adds us once more to the equation. 

We are, here, right now, with no place else to ever be. 

This moment is our very own

mystery.

Searching For myself In Larger Waters

I don't find my independence - even a casual search for a center of control reveals my place within and as the whole. There are infinite molecules at play just as my appearance, endless space between each atom through existence. I control none of this, nothing moves at my command. As a person, I am powerless, truly at the mercy of universal whims. This can be quite scary - but only if I set myself up as a separate object against the whole. To judge my appearance I am a small self in a larger world, yet to see, to see things as a single flow of all existence - I am essential, no less or greater than each molecule at play. As this, my true self of Self, there is only power, as if a droplet recognizing itself again (and always) as the ocean. There is no independence from this - only the delusion of that single drop searching for itself in larger waters.

Implies Of Separation

even seamless implies of a once separation - as if there could ever be an object not supported by the very space of its surroundings. In truth it's all one thing in the guise of endless form, it's formlessness in manifestation mode, but it's always, only, just one thing.

Of Death - Every Answer Is Possible

of death, and beyond this moment - we simply don't know. Our best speculations will only return us again and again to right now, the only moment that we may know, and even this may not prove lasting past the the attention that it's given. 

So than what is significant? 

What has meaning if now is 

all we're offered? 

I don't know.

My words have no authority even to myself. 

This is what I believe - that here, right now, is of 

infinite mystery. 

Every answer is possible.

Peace,

Eric
