This train carries saints and sinners.
This train carries losers and winners.
This train carries whores and gamblers.
This train carries lost souls.
I said, this train carries broken-hearted.
This train thieves and sweet souls departed.
This train carries fools and kings.
This train, all aboard.
– Bruce Springsteen, Land Of Hope And Dreams
…….
Just THIS.
Happening now.
THIS infinite seamless happening.
Including everyone.
Including everything.
This train.
All aboard.
…….
Liberation.
…….
This is not about liberation.
From your humanness.
This is about liberation.
As your humanness.
The problem is not.
Identifying.
As a human being.
A human happening.
The body-mind-consciousness complex.
That you are.
…….
The only “problem”.
Is identifying as a SEPERATE self.
Separate from the Source of its existence.
And that’s not even a problem.
Because you were never a separate self.
There is no separate self.
There is no separation.
It just appears that way.
…….
How are you making yourself exist?
How are you making yourself happen?
Just look at how complex you are!
How could you be making any of that happen?
Just look at the fact that you have no idea.
In your direct experience.
How any of it is happening.
How are you existing?
How are you alive?
How are you conscious and aware?
How are you breathing?
How is your heart beating?
How are you seeing?
How are you hearing?
How are you sensing anything?
How is your brain functioning?
How are thoughts, feelings, impulses and urges arising?
How are you moving your body?
HOW?
Might it be that it’s all simply happening?
That you are a happening?
That you are an expression?
What could be making you happen?
What might have the power and the intelligence to be and do that?
…….
Now look at all the rest of Nature.
How does all that exist?
How is all that happening?
Just look how complex it all is!
Is any of that making itself happen?
Or is it all simply happening?
What could be making all that happen?
What might have the power and the intelligence to be and do that?
…….
You are a happening.
All the rest of Nature is a happening.
Is there any separation there?
Or is it just one big happening?
Including everything.
Including you.
Just this, happening now.
THIS, NOW.
And is there an edge to THIS, NOW?
Is there anything outside of THIS, NOW?
Could there ever be anything outside of THIS, NOW?
Or might THIS, NOW be infinite?
Might THIS, NOW be absolute?
Might THIS, NOW be The Absolute?!!
The Absolute, Source, God, Brahman, Consciousness, Life, Nature, whatever.
Expressing itself as THIS, NOW.
As EVERYTHING in this moment.
…….
You as you are.
Right now.
Are an expression.
Of The Absolute.
Of Source.
Everything is.
There is only The Absolute.
There is only Source.
Being and doing everything.
Source and its Expression are not two.
There was never any separation whatsoever.
This is liberation.
As the human happening that you are.
Right now.
…….
You are not The Absolute.
You are an expression of The Absolute.
The Absolute is You.
You.
Everything.
Now.
Ordinary, everyday Life.
Ups and downs.
Pleasure and pain.
Good times and bad times.
Smiles and crys.
Good and bad.
The Absolute.
What a miracle.
…….
Thank you.
You are that limited human happening.
Reading these words.
And you are Source.
Because that limited human happening.
Is nothing other than Source.
Source expressing itself.
As that limited human happening.
That you are.
But you are not Source.
Because you are that limited human happening.
Source is you.
There is only Source.
Only THIS.
Happening.
Now.
You are not.
But here you are.
What are you looking for?
My point is that while you’re off searching and practicing to achieve some bliss state, you’re missing that Life is all of this. This happening right now with nobody making any of it happen. You are an expression of Life. Everything is an expression of Life. Of Source. Or whatever other name you want to use. It doesn’t matter. You are that when you’re in a bliss state, you are that when you’re not in a bliss state. You are that no matter what state you appear to be in. You are that when you’re a so called enlightened master. You are that when you’re a so called money hungry ego maniac on Wall Street. You are that. There is only that. There is only this. Life. Just this. Happening. Right now.
You know, how can you be talking about nonduality and be saying that it’s all about just one particular state that needs to be achieved? Does one particular state need to be achieved before someone can say they are a completely valid expression of Life?
It’s total and utter bullshit. I’m sorry, but it is.
This is it. This happening right now. All of this. Everything. No matter what’s happening.
When has it ever not been just this, now?
When have you ever been apart from this, now?
When have you ever been making any of this happen?
Including yourself.
PXLHSTLR brings it home with a great video.
It’s always just this, happening now.
All of this.
Even in the middle of a zombie apocalypse!
(CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND GORE)
Basically.
You are a happening.
Everything is a happening.
This is all just one happening.
Do you exist?
Are you making yourself exist?
So how can you be separate.
From Existence?
How can you be separate.
From THIS.
Right now?
You don’t have to become anything.
To be.
An authentic expression.
Of Source.
…….
That is what you are.
Right now.
Already.
Everything is.
…….
Nothing making itself exist.
Nothing making itself happen.
Everything happening.
Just THIS.
All THIS.
Being expressed.
As this human happening.
Is sugar and shit.
Sweet and sour.
Pleasure and pain.
An artist doesn’t paint.
With just one colour.
The only you around here.
Is that human organism.
That human happening.
Reading these words.
And that human happening.
Is an expression of Life.
Nothing other than Life.
So there’s only Life itself.
Infinite Life.
Happening.
