The River

fall-colors-984668_1280

It’s as if you’re being taken along by a mighty river that’s incredibly powerful and simply takes you wherever it takes you. You believe that you can get somewhere though and so you’re swimming and swimming, struggling and struggling, trying everything possible to get where you think you should be. All the while the river simply takes you wherever it takes you. Then suddenly you realise that all this swimming is hopeless. You realise that you’ll never be able to get where you think you should be. You realise that the river simply does whatever it does and takes you wherever it takes you. It feels hopeless for a while. You’re stuck in it. You can’t get out of it. Your head is under water half the time and you’re coughing and choking. You’re suffering and you can’t get out of it. Now it feels really hopeless. But then you realise that you can’t get out of it, but it’s always changing. Your head’s not under water all of the time. Sometimes it’s quite pleasant and relaxing, just floating along. The scenery is always changing. Sometimes you float along through a harsh barren wasteland, but sometimes through beautiful countryside. And it’s always changing. It’s comfort and discomfort. It’s pleasure and pain. It’s good and bad. You can’t get out of it, but it never stays the same. And then you realise that the river is carrying you along, that the river has always been doing everything. And then maybe you can relax and let it simply take you wherever it takes you.

The river is all there is.

All there is, is “This”.

This “ultimate creative universal energy”.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.

Happening right here, right now, always and everywhere.

All by itself.

Without anybody doing any of it.

Every Aspect of your Life

forest-1225983_1280

It controls and commands every single aspect of your life.

Every single aspect.

The joy and the sorrow.

The clarity and the confusion.

The pleasure and the pain.

The peace and the suffering.

It’s all out of your hands.

But no need to worry.

It’s always changing.

And it’s completely under control.

All there is, is “This”.

This “ultimate creative universal energy”.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.

Direct Pointing

cumulus-499176_1280

All there is, is “This”.

This “moment”.

This ever changing “dynamic happening”.

This “ultimate creative universal energy”.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.

Happening all by itself.

Effortlessly.

Automatically.

Perfectly.

Without anybody doing any of it.

Without anybody controlling or influencing any of it.

Happening right here, right now, always and everywhere.

“This” is all there is.

“This” alone.

Just “This”.

“This”.

”        “.

Wild and Free

horse-430441_1280

It’s just this moment.

This “dynamic happening” that’s happening right now.

Without anybody doing it.

Completely wild and free.

Perfectly out of anyone’s control.

Happening all by itself with absolute precision.

Exactly as it needs to be.

It can never be tamed.

You will never tie it down.

You will never control it.

You will never determine what it presents.

Because you are part of it.

Because you are it.

This “dynamic happening” that’s happening right now.

Without anybody doing it.

Completely wild and free.

Perfectly out of anyone’s control.

Happening all by itself with absolute precision.

All there is, is “This”.

This “ultimate creative universal energy”.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.

Happening right here, right now, always and everywhere.

Nothing to Get

reed-546250_1280

It’s always simply “This” that’s happening right now.

All by itself, without anybody doing it.

All there is, is “This”.

This “ultimate creative universal energy”.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.

Happening right here, right now, always and everywhere.

Right Here, Right Now, Always and Everywhere

 urban-438393_1280
All there is, is this “dynamic happening”.
This “dance of energy”.
It’s happening all by itself without anybody doing it.
All of the somebodies are just expressions of this “dance of energy”.
Everything is an expression in, of and as this “dynamic happening”.
There is only this “dynamic happening” happening right now, right here, everywhere.
It’s constantly flowing and changing and morphing.
    It includes everything in all variations.
Good and bad.
Pleasure and pain.
Peace and suffering.
And everything else in between.
grand-central-station-801704_1280
Anything can be presented, anything can happen and it’s always changing to the next presentation.
You can’t understand what this happening really is, why it’s doing what it’s doing or what it’s going to do next.
You don’t control or command what, how or when it expresses or presents what it presents.
people-1031169_1280
It just expresses.
It just happens.
And you can’t change it.
You are an expression, a presentation, of it.
You can seemingly change your shoes, but you can’t change what or how or the way it’s expressing.
That would simply be it, expressing you changing your shoes.
You have no individual personal power to do anything.
The only power belongs to this “dance of energy”.
This “dance of energy” IS absolute power.
sunrise-274257_1280
    Suffering arises in this “dynamic happening” when any kind of arguement with what is arises.
Any kind of arguement with what’s being expressed.
Any kind of arguement with what’s happening.
When an expectation arises about how it should be expressing, what it should be presenting or when, then suffering arises.
Wanting to make it present in a certain way will never work, ever.
When a belief arises that that’s possible in any way, then suffering arises.
When an attempt to make it do that in any way arises, then suffering arises.
prairie-679014_1280
It is simply what it is, always.
Simply what’s happening right now, always.
It’s always expressing with absolute precision, creativity and intelligence.
Everything happening at exactly the right moment.
Everything happening perfectly, however it appears to be.
Some things you will like and some things you won’t.
But it’s all perfect.
mt-fuji-477832_1280
It can only ever be, whatever is being presented right now.
Just this one “dance of energy” happening all by itself, without anybody doing it.
Constantly changing, but cannot be changed.
Any arguement with what’s happening right now, any expectation about what it should
be, is suffering.
There can be a strong dislike of the presentation, there can be resistance to the
presentation, but as soon as “this should not be” arises, suffering arises.
All there is, is “This”.
This “ultimate creative universal energy”.
This “infinite”.
This “everything”.
Happening right here, right now, always and everywhere.

Just Be

sunset-1207326_1280

Just be still in this “energy”.

As this “energy”.

And watch everything happen.

All there is, is “This”.

This “ultimate creative universal energy”.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.

A Wrong Expression

dawn-190055_1280

How could you be a wrong expression,

of that which is and does the entire universe?

There are no mistakes.

None.

Infinitely Intimate

water-90781_1280

This is infinitely intimate.

It’s right here.

It’s millions of miles away in the cosmos.

It’s your “This” happening right now.

It’s my “This” happening right now.

It’s everyone’s “This” happening right now.

It’s your next thought.

It’s a solar flare.

It’s that tickling up your nose.

It’s a flurry of snow on the peak of Mount Everest.

It’s you.

It’s everything.

This is infinitely intimate.

All there is, is “This”.

This “ultimate creative universal energy”.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.

One Energy

Doing everything.

Being everything.

This “infinite”.

This “everything”.
