RESIST NAUGHT, WELCOME ALL

The Perfect Way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference, and Heaven and Earth are set apart. -- Seng-Ts'an

Only unitive, nondual consciousness can open our hearts, minds, and bodies to actually experience God. * * * When you can be present in this way, you will know the Real Presence. I promise you this is true. You will still need and use your dualistic mind, but now it is in service to the greater whole rather than just the small self. -- Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," August 14, 2016

The less you are bound by likes and dislikes, the more clearly you will be able to see the core of purity and selflessness that is the real Self in everyone, even in people who cause trouble. -- Eknath Easwaran, "Words to Live By," August 14, 2016

Well, there's agreement all around this morning...out there. My ego Lucy has a difference of opinion, but that difference is Lucy's reason for being (I was going to attempt the French but who's kidding whom?).

I am in total agreement with each of those quotes, and my aim is to live a walking-around nondual life. Lucy's Me magnet is strongest, however, when I do the nondual thing...walk forward with peace in my mind and on my tongue, toward that which I fear (which is appearing as a petty pisser)...and I afterward feel meh.

There. Right there is the source of all our woes. Doing God's will and expecting ego-victory results.

And there. Right there is the source of all our spiritual recovery. That is our golden goose turning us within...away from self to God.

Thank you.
