Are you holding on to a story?

[Bazooka Jesus]

Hey there fellow seeker, how is it going? Making any progress with this "awakening" stuff?

What's that I hear you say? You have seen through the story of the separate self? Good. What other stories are you holding on to?

Are you holding on to a story of God?

Are you holding on to a story of creation?

Are you holding on to a story of reality being a dream?

Are you holding on to a story of "you" being all there is?

Are you holding on to a story of how the stories that you are holding on to are not stories but truth itself?

Keep going, until all stories are seen through and recognized for what they are. That's when you realize that which lies beyond all stories.

All this talk of stories makes me think of a time when... ugh I just can't help myself.

You can do both. Realize what lies beyond stories, and then also enjoy the stories. No problemo.

Who is holding onto the story of God? Is it God?

It's like the waking analog of lucid dreaming: lucid living. In Matrix terms, you know you're in the Matrix, you know the 'real world' (non-Matrix) is a desolate wasteland, you've caught on, but you choose to stay in the Matrix, or maybe: one foot in Matrix, one in Zion. ?

@rachMiel Yes. However, the “matrix” (relative) and “Zion” (absolute) merge and bleed into each other in a strange loopy way.

So, the desolate wasteland (and all the “evils” it holds) is also infinitely beautiful. Developing this perspective of seeing beauty and Love everywhere is why we must go beyond the stories. To eradicate evil.

@HMD Kudos for seeing the challenge of dealing with the wasteland in such a positive light! If Earth is to survive intact, views like yours are called for.

story is all you stored ... wake up each day with a clean slate

there's one sin only

s.i.n = separation imagined now

drop even that

[HMD]

@rachMiel That’s what we’re trying to do here, mostly. Creating a better reality. 

[rachMiel]

@HMD Bravo! (Who gets to decide what's 'better'?)
