“Things are not as they seem.
The truth of how things are is Non-Dual, and cannot be divided into a binary.
The small mind, is binary. It will constantly divide experience into good/bad, right/wrong, us/them, like/don’t like, want more/get rid of it.
Life in its purest form is a radical Both/And.
-Pamela Weiss
“The mind unconsciously resists the realization of Non-duality since it tends to reject anything that threatens the status quo and the way in which it views the world.”
“We see the Non-Dual through Dualistic lenses. Which leads to a profound conundrum: we feel that we somehow have to ACHIEVE realizing the Non-Dual, which is a construct of the Dual Mind that can’t see that it is already free.”
– Matthew Flickstein
At the still point of the turning world…
There the dance is.
… Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance…
TS Eliot (Burnt Norton)
“Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing
and right-doing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.”
-Rumi
Words of Adyashanti
Actually, all paths lead away from the truth…how’s that? All paths. There’s no such thing as a path to the truth. The truth’s already here, where are you going?
Right now, you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing – not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything. If you give yourself this gift of not knowing and you follow it, a vast spaciousness and mysterious openness dawns within you.
