The Simplicity within Complexity

Awake and exploring in the deep in the middle of last night, a few things became ever more clear.  It is at night that, consciously or unconsciously, we return to the Deep; a natural consequence of relaxing and surrendering what we no longer need; that of the person, self, heart - and even our life.  When I am consciously aware in the night of what I am in this expanded and truly in-need-of-nothing state, it is clear that during the daytime there is quite a different embodiment going on.  It's all too easy to get out of bed each moring and the first thing to get put on, so to speak, is the body of the person/self and it's ways of moving in a world similarly predominently dark and distorted.  Such wrongly conditioned embodiment is somewhat hard and the face is subesequently also hard, like a mask of protection against this sea of wrong doing and wrong being both within and without.  It's understandable because it all feels so real - but the truth is that it's just an imaginary prison.
Last night I could see the truth all over again of John's teaching to align as awareness with the 'tiny little bit' that you know the truth of in your heart.  For in daily life, that's the link; the direct link to that all deeper and all true You that you so effortlessly drop into each and every night when you go to sleep (or maybe when you lie awake and conscously explore what you truly are).  To be more IN than the tiny little bit in daily life is increasingly doable for sure, but to simply open and soften and to align as awareness with that tiny little bit - especially when life strongly triggers distorted inherited embodied patterns - that has to be enough, and actually it is.  For it does lead us out of that old embodiment and steadfastly into the new embodiment, the one I wrote of in last week's post.  To be satisfied with that tiny agreement within in the daytime - to the tiny little bit that you know without the need for understanding - that's the simple part.  The complexity is all that old embodiment coming up in ways both micro and not so micro and the on-going transformation of all those old pathways into the correct and true alignment via that tiny little bit ...  Being in that direct simple tiny 'yes' to what you know without needing understanding is the answer and it needs to be your walk if Truth is what has you in this life.  Then all the complexity of the code of deeper Being comes naturally into place, instead of all that old distortion, and it comes behind that simple tiny yes within your own heart ...

During Sunday's meeting I lit up a bit when I heard John say:

"You are the fountain in your life."

 

The deeper true You is indeed a veritable fountain of brightness, of a pure, clean and clear Good that has no opposite, that relates to nothing but itself.  Where the truth of what we are shines brightly, inextinguishable and self evident in its beauty.  In this world full of possibility brilliantly disguised as challenge and limitation, we need only that simple tiny little yes to even a micro dot of that fountain within - that's the way to deep Home, and all beyond this world ...

 

Until next time,

Love,
