Undo

Or the art of letting go

Everything that I teach is a practice of undoing

how easily you can let go is directly proportional to how much you can accept

how happy you can be with yourself as you are and the world as it is.

Advancing in this practice is to disappear.

Gradually the illusory self disperses into the greater reality, and the place of a tiny piece of a much greater whole is more inviting than the painful limitations of the imagined individual.

And when you can live in the whole as a witness, and you spend more time there than in the self you have been taught to be your whole life, everything unravels.

It is a great undoing.

You see your place in everything, as everything.

The forest for the trees. Each tree in the forest. Each creature. An extension of you.

And when you know yourself as everything you experience, how can you hurt it? exploit it? abuse it?

Curiosity replaces assumption, Love replaces judgment, Compassion replaces anger.

The strength that comes loving yourself, extends to everything around you.

Just as your misery as the ‘self’ hurts and harms everyone around you.

When you are whole, there is literally nothing that must be done.

There is no urgency, no need, no great desire.

Because everything is happening exactly as it is meant to according to whatever lessons have to be learnt.

Everyone is broken and learning to heal.

Some are making helpful choices, others are making unhelpful choices.

Many of those choices will be severe, violent or even deadly. Many will be kind, uplifting and expansive.

But in the end,

No one in here gets out alive.

You only have this one moment.

again, and again, and again.
