deci belle Posted February 6, 2015 Enlightening being is the incipient pivot of the creative, arising undifferentiated radiating aware essence. The “creative” is itself potential, if one sees. If one doesn’t see its potential, it is eternal karmic evolution. If one sees, then one can use it to take over creation, steal its potential and step over eternity. This is immortality. "Arising undifferentiated" is Complete Reality; just this is the Center: this being the substance of the immaterial body of awareness, one’s own inmost heart. "Radiating aware essence" is presence. This is one’s function. There is no doing, it is itself the basis of one’s state of affairs. The world comes to this. This is not some other place. It is here, right now. In the midst of ordinary situations, accept your function, take the forward step and share yourself freely having walked through the boundary of karmic evolution. Just this is oneself abiding here. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent thunder Posted February 11, 2020 authenticity is too often underappreciated in my experience. her words consistently rang the bell and at times, dissolved it utterly. gifted, unapologetically authentic... miss her indeed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
