be as you are | inviting presence

We do not know what life is. We do not know why there appears to be a body, a personality, a world, an individual experiencer. We have no idea what any of this is made of.

We do not know much except for the certainty that there is something here. There is a suchness to this moment that is somehow at the same time ungraspable and imminently real. We know that we are real. Not as a story, but as this Presence.

Most people spend their lives attempting to escape this apparently terrifying predicament, desperately attempting to get somewhere, to conclude with their minds what is impossible to conclude, since the mind itself is part of the mystery it tries to solve.

Many will claim to have the answer to our ultimate questions, and we may become followers, but deep down we know that such an answer can only be found when we listen to the most profound place of our own heart.

The answer seems to be communicated through a form of silent transmission rather than conceptual knowledge.

When this is clearly seen, what is left is the experience of boundless love. Love that is not constrained by space and time. Love that does not need to look a certain way. Love that is free. Love that embraces all that is at every moment. Real unconditional love. Curiosity replaces certainties. Flow replaces fixity.

No resistance to the predicament anymore. No resistance to the mystery. Everything is already happening by itself, don't you see?

This meeting is an offering of love. Where we drop our mask of personhood, of being someone, and drop into the mystery of being nobody.

We will meditate and have conversations about how this mystery unfolds before us in our everyday life.

I look forward to seeing you there.
