One Infinite Undivided Whole

This bottomless presence is fluid and ever-changing. The pattern-seeking mind conceptually divides, labels, categorizes, interprets and seemingly concretizes this ungraspable, unpindownable flux, creating a kind of virtual reality made up of seemingly solid, separate, independent, persisting things. These apparent things include bodies, minds, the world, and a self that is supposedly authoring our thoughts and making our choices. But does any of that hold up to careful scrutiny?

From where do our urges, desires, impulses, interests, preferences, talents, thoughts and actions emerge? In exploring this, we may discover that nothing could be other than exactly how it is in this moment. Realizing this is the freedom to be just as we are and for everything to be as it is, including our apparent abilities or inabilities to change, heal or correct things.

When we are hypnotized by the thought-sense of being a small, separate, encapsulated self, feelings of deficiency, anxiety and dissatisfaction inevitably follow. We fear death and search for certainty, control and something to grasp. But in holding on to nothing at all, there is immense openness and freedom.

The thought-sense of being small and separate disappears in the recognition that all apparently formed things, including people, are like waves in the ocean—ever-changing and inseparable movements of an undivided whole. This seamless, boundless, centerless aliveness, this aware presence, is ever-changing while never departing from the immediacy of here-now.

What is offered here invites firsthand exploration and direct discovery, not belief or dogma. There is no finish-line, no formula, no method, nowhere to go, only this ever-fresh aliveness.
