Why Faith?

why faith? 

- feel the day come alive against you, life touching life, and know that even this is just an imagined barrier in one existence. There is no separate experience from the whole, nothing observed, no sensation known, that does not belong in this great inclusion. 

so what is there is believe that is not now present? If not this moment, then where would faith lead that holds a greater promise? Perhaps true faith is simply accepting right now as always, and only, the moment at hand - and from this point comes are participation as and through the whole. One thing, continuous in its awakening.

Awakening

it's awakening - continuous in mystery and never once concluded in its revelations. The basis, for me, has been a glimpse of empty nature, and then the wonder of all that comes to share itself within the void.. In exploration I come to find no lines from emptiness to form, a simple lending of space to shape itself into world and back to empty view again. I See one thing - even as my mind shows me distinctions that its made. I have no conclusions, and no final answer to bring me to awake - just this, aware, seeing, awakening through mystery and it's unfolding.

No Separate Glory

there is no separate glory - only 

one thing aware of its

existence,

and awed by the mystery that

it holds. 

~

it's simple - our recognition of grace and beauty is own self reflected back in wonder.

Now Let Go

now let go - and more, nothing was 

ever truly ours to grasp 

at all

clearly, it's not ours, everything appearing in the time of it's own fashion, lingering in a length of stay beyond our reason, and a mystery of it's own departure. 

letting go is its own occurrence - our role is to

simply play along

through the grace of our

acceptance.

Always In This Moment

its not really instant - we could say that forgiveness is the very fabric of existence, not of time, but simply the natural acceptance of whatever occurs at the precise moment of its happening. It's beyond the concept of time. Our thoughts lag in this perception, we drag memories of painful situations to our ever present innocence, believing in a process that has long since happened. We are forgiven. Right now. And always. 

In fact - our innocence remains always in this moment.

Simply Say - Aware

it's what appears - and always, only, the world arises as awareness. At no point do we break from this, nowhere a separate realm of observation. Just aware - content and source as one and only given names as inspiration of description. 

We could simply say - aware.

And this alone would be 

existence. 

~

sometimes, sometimes fairly often, people wish to quibble with me about distinctions in how they see things, how they intuit reality, their flash of insight, or what's gleamed from guru or teacher. I have no issue with anyone's view and don't really lay claim that the words above comprise a philosophy of how I see the world. Thy're only words. Simply thoughts on a screen that appeared in the moment of their writing. To me - the value is in the moment of receiving, what was given as (perhaps) true in just that instant. Maybe not even then. 

It's my own description of mystery.

Nothing more. 

Peace,

Eric 

As Aware

all I know is as aware - and the 

world arises through

attention
