being

Enlightenment involves one’s energy moving deep within oneself. One’s energy moves to one’s very centre, the centre of one’s being, and eventually, one, as such, disappears. The ‘I’, the feeling of an individual person disappears into the energy at the very centre of the being, the very essence of one’s being. At that point, the energy becomes being itself, just a being-ness. This essence is without character, without attributes. It is the active aspect of existence: being, pure being; not even a being, not a noun as such, not an object; but more the process, the verb of being.

This energy, this essential energy of being, is at the centre of all that is. It is not separate, it is a unified field of being. When our identification with more superficial things has dissolved away, we come to rest in this being. From this perspective, all else is but a play; a dance; a beautiful, entertaining show; but nothing to get worked up about; nothing to get angry over; nothing to defend; nothing to cling to. From the perspective of being, all is beautiful and light; easy.

So come, my friends, dive deep into yourself and find this place within you, this energy, this space, which is being.
