Untitled Thoughts #13

untitled thoughts 13

Loving the gap.

When thoughts drop away, leave them there. Enjoy the gap, the silent space of being. Non-grasping, aconceptual aware presence.


Just go with your flow, remain unattached. If there’s frustration there’s expectation and desire. Wanting something that isn’t usually leads to suffering if grasping and thirsting are also present.

If something “must (or mustn’t) be this way!” it’s a problem.

Reality is a totality of inevitability. Who the hell are we to know, let alone determine what is or will be?


What is the nature of a calling and what it is to respond to or follow it? Discernment is crucial but not always easy. It’s about conscience, intuition, fear, courage, resistance, trauma. It’s all of these and more. But know that the experience of true purpose and meaning is kind of joy.

Purpose, meaning. Doing because you’re called to it, inspired to action. What determines its validity? Intuitive knowingness. It’s time we lived by the light and guidance of the spirit not the law or outer authorities.

But to do so requires discernment and trust. Identify your intuitive light, your own whisper of truth and guidance. Listen to it. Then follow it fearlessly, or at least courageously. There’s the adventure of a lifetime.


Wanting time to pass sooner is an avoidance strategy. Something here and now is being avoided or denied. Zen that shit, baby. Be-here-now. This-is-it. Home again, home again.


God is everything. Nothing exists outside of God. So we already ‘partake’ (to use the language of theosis) of the divine nature. So it’s about unveiling our already present unicity rather than creating it.

  • Let It Be

    The tagline on my website used to say, ‘exploring present-moment awareness’ which sounds okay on the face of it, but the truth is I’m not exploring at all; I’m observing, witnessing. I’m not going anywhere or doing anything, I’m not plumbing any depths, I’m not even responding to anything; I’m just here, watching ‘the world’…

  • Love Over Law

    Is our conscience merely conditioning or is it a hotline to our divinity? Do we follow where it leads? Do we trust it? Is it our lack of trust that makes us suffer? If we trusted every move we make as right and correct, even divinely ordained, or at the very least inevitable, would we…

  • Simple

    The spiritual path is pretty simple really. It hinges on the fact that resting as awareness invariably feels better than being caught up in the mind. So once you discover the knack of it you’ll tend to naturally gravitate to it more and more until at some point you just never leave it, you live…

  • The Beginning and End of This Whole Existence

    The beginning and end of this whole existence and the arena of ‘The Work’ and the unfolding of the so-called ‘process of awakening’ is this present moment. The past shows up here as memory, the future as imagination. Cognition, mentation, sensory arisings, all happen here. It’s this now-ness, this such-ness that constitutes Reality. And liberation…
