"Have patience with everything
unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves…
Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you
now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point
is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then,
someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing
it, live your way into the answer."
Rainer Maria Rilke |
It was out of the dynamic of cosmic
celebration
that we were created in the first place.
We are to become celebration and generosity,
burst into self-awareness. What is the human?
The human is a space, an opening,
where the universe celebrates its existence.

Everyone is this naturalness. When
we start calling it enlightenment and awakening, thought can
use that to compare, right? But if we say this naturalness or
this simple presence, thought can't run a comparison study. The
whole invitation is to look prior to language, prior to concepts,
prior to thought's projection.
What's looking and what's seeing?
There's not that much there. There's just this simple, ordinary
presence, and it is so unadorned. You can run right by it if
you're looking for something fancy. It's always been here, it
has no age, it doesn't really have any properties or qualities,
it's just this intelligence. It's so quiet, that's why they call
it silence.
