i trust my experience
and i trust my choices
to be part of a larger Truth~
fulfilling and living it with every breath.
I am learning, in every moment, to open up and surrender to this.
Its an epic journey of opening and closing and opening and closing and.....opening and... closing... and it continues.
why and when do i close?
how and where do i open?
life becomes a laboratory- a fire stoked by curiosity and the willingness to, again, open.

There's always highs and lows, emptiness can be perceived in many many ways.
wonderfully spacious or confining, scary, and lonely.
... the paradoxes that simultaneously exist~ as well as every single possibility in between.
How, then, can i possibly become attached and rooted in a single thought pattern or belief systems, KNOWING that billions of other Truths are fully available?
How could i EVER claim superiority over another being who is simply revealing a new paradigm,
embodying a different Truth,
capturing a different essence,
and reflecting a different aspect of the Divine?

knowing that there is an all encompassing truth greater than my own... that includes us all, and all of our truths respectively.
on a path of opening and rediscovering, remembering and experiencing moments and glimpses of eternity- of complete unity. a dimension of living that is an expanded reflection of my own perception. which is constantly expanding in the light of this mirror.

The judgments that arise are merely crystal clear reflections of the fullness that we are not embracing.
engaging in and with my(S)elf~ in relation to it all.
Exploring the depths of my experience to come to the realization that even I perceive me reality in so many different lights. I have so many paradoxical reviews and opinions of my own experience.

Whats real is the experience itself, not the formations of stories, reasons, and excuses that i contrive to better understand.
none of that matters.
what's real is Now. how will i open, fully embrace, and Be in this experience in a way that serves?
I am the embodiment of my desire.
a mystery unwinding and simultaneously being created.

"The best" in whose eyes? How do we compare?
Love is Love is Love.

how can one fully love when a relationship is tainted with judgments?

once i fully love and accept every aspect of myself, ill have no choice but to open in love to everything else. our disconnection comes from my own feelings of inadequacy. My desire to "be better than" comes from a condition that made me believe we weren't kindred.
If i can embrace the totality of myself, feel confident and in love, in full integrity with my path and desires, where is the need to judge and compare?
it will never serve.
it doesn't feel good.
we can then accept another individual, embrace and love them, honor them as a reflection and teacher... for being on a path especially designed for and by them. we are all, inevitably, on a path towards Truth.

can we meet another soul without an agenda? without imposing our Truth or paradigm to prove or convince?
can we be completely present, opening to the unknown?... the differences that make us so uniquely alike?
... that its not so much about expanding our consciousness, but realizing that consciousness is all around us.
we are not found in enlightenment or lost in delusion.

in the view of Prajna, even the illusion is truth, for it speaks secrets of the subconscious mind, and is a pathway towards Truth. towards love. towards authentic existence.

Feeling the fluidity of experience, emotions, sensations.
joining the universal language of change.

what else exists outside of the realm of perception? is it ever more than our own projection? our own reflection?
questions open the door of experience, which leads to a felt sense of Truth.... which opens a realm of new existence. new paradigm. new questions... that lead to yet deeper truths of my individual reality in this collective experience. enhancing my capacity to be more fully awake~

conditioning serves
experience serves
our truth serves
until it no longer does.
to be receptive to the shift and responsive to the growth as it expands our perception and relation to... everything.

listen to it all
honor it all
live it all
