Ode to Deeper Beingness

Mmm .. yes, nothing beats deeper Beingness and my love for it continues to have me reaching for it, belonging to it, and giving way to it, time and again.  And I see in so doing, that the accustomed self, with all it's faulty programming and sense of lack, just isn't meant for the role of living life - really living life.  This is particularly noticeable when the going gets tough; when life brings you a situation in which the accustomed self feels extra anxious, tense, worried, etc (I say 'extra' because it's modus operandi is basically tense anyway, right?)
So this morning there was a difficulty and then came the noticing what was occurring in me and then the relaxing and moving to what is much deeper within.  Oh, such profound OKness is there!  My accustomed self wanted reassurance then, that this OKness meant that all would be well with regards to the difficulty.  But it is simply a different order altogether, this OKness of the deeper Beingness that we all truly are within, beneath the programming.  Just a different order, and it worries not.  I get now, more viscerally, what John means when he speaks of no longer relating to gain or to loss, to pleasure or to pain - that is the different order which is inherent to deeper Beingness; it doesn't live with that kind of agenda.   It is meant for life, it is the one who needs to be in the driving seat, making decisions ..  Mmm ..  it Knows ..  And it's a new or an instant kind of Knowing, full of calm capability - oh so different to any freak out in the accustomed self which just can't handle pressure - and I see it isn't meant to; it's really not made for that, it is too small.  And the deeper Beingness is so vast, so magnanimous.  So I am also really seeing now how it is that the self is much more a place for true change to show it's face and to manifest one's own Being, to make real in this world what we most deeply Know the truth of.  Against all odds maybe, but what Love, what a discovery, what a different life.  It's growing up and then some.  Dear John, what a wondrous teacher he is!  And for those of you perhaps not yet quite so familiar with your own Being, you can always open and soften in response to what you do always Know in your heart ... and just keep on responding (look for the subtle, the tiny little bit) - and you will surely find your way, it is your true love and your true home and of course you Know it, it's You, it's really you.


Wonderfully John is back giving meetings here this Friday woo-hoo!  Of course I have missed him and I'm looking forward to seeing him and being in his presence once again, for sure.  Also we are now only a few weeks away from the start of the Summer Seminar - for more information on that, please click right here.

Until next time,
Love,
