Ah James, Oh James, Poor James…

Ah James, Oh James, Poor James…

He tried so desperately to become,
to become good,                                      to become infinite,
to become pure,
to become enlightened,
to become God.

He carried the universe on his back,
not knowing it was only thought, only dust.

Poor James.

The infinite became his prison.
He clung to illusions of forever,
and called it truth.

He read scriptures.
He tortured himself with effort.
He sat in meditation, not to rest,
but to achieve,
to conquer silence,
to capture the sky.

But James forgot:

You cannot possess the wind.
You cannot hold the moon in your fist.

And the simple truth is this:
Being is already here.
And in Being,
there is no James to become anything.

Poor James.

He chased the Divine as if it was elsewhere,
not seeing it was his very breath.
He longed for Love,
never knowing creation was made of it.

Poor James.

And now he stands before the Truth,

Empty-handed.
Exhausted.
No more words.
No more masks.
nothing left to hold,
nowhere left to go.

And in that poverty,
in that total collapse of “James,”
something shines.

Not as James.
Not for James.
But as What Always Was,
Waiting patiently behind the veil.

What remained
was not James.
Not God.
Not infinite.                                             Not even silence.                                        

Only Being.

And Love,
the reflection of Being,
rose like fire,
and burned James alive,
while he still breathed.

Ah James, Oh James, Poor James…

What burned him left no ashes,
and what remains is rich beyond measure.

Back sooner than I thought. Ah James, poor James....we love you James.


What you know leaves what you don't know and what you don't know is all there is.

Sounds like you’re making things about yourself a lot. A compelling teaching story. Zero ego involved, I’m sure. :P

 


Words can't describe You.

Yeah sure, I feel ridiculous getting triggered talking about spirituality, but we are humans, what to do? Just learn day by day

Agree , oh James, and it's not to argue, but now that James has burned and only being remains, doesn't that being realize its unlimited nature? And in perceiving itself as unlimited, that is, in not perceiving limits, doesn't that being suddenly see itself as the overflowing, ceaselessly flowing stream? Not as mind, but as being.

Doesn't that being see that being is flowing? And in being/flowing... doesn't that flow realize that the very fact of flowing, which is the very fact of being, is absolute intelligence? Not as an observer observing the stream, but as the stream flowing, not thinking, just being.

And the nature of this flowing is openness, an absolute potential, like a bottomless hole , and the nature of that openness is your nature. In it is everything, it is the total, it is the absolute glory that dances. It is you.

İt is just inside and outside is silent. And in that silence, bliss and effortlessness arises. 

Being is Absolute. Even realization of being unlimited nature is Being itself. Because, it is absolute.
