One Infinite Undivided Whole

Our only certainty beyond all doubt is present experiencing and aware presence, right here, right now. Just this! What if, for one moment, we drop all our beliefs and ideas about this and instead explore it directly?

Surprisingly, in holding on to nothing at all, there is immense openness and freedom! The "me" who seems to be authoring our thoughts, making our choices, living our lives and having our experiences is revealed to be a kind of mirage created by an ever-shifting mix of thoughts, mental images, memories, stories and bodily sensations.

When consciousness is hypnotized by the thought-sense of being a small, separate, encapsulated self, feelings of deficiency, anxiety and dissatisfaction inevitably follow, along with fear of death and a search for certainty, control and something to grasp. The more we search for security, the more insecure we feel.

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, as are all thoughts, interests, preferences, urges, desires, impulses and actions. Nothing can be other than how it is in this moment, including our apparent abilities or inabilities. To realize this is to be at peace with being just as we are and with everything being just as it is (including our urge to change things).

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 one bottomless moment and this ever-fresh aliveness.
