The Character Of The Unmanifest

We are trained that in order to control we must define, that pretty much seems to be the way of the physical world, you spot what something is and then you can focus on it, grasp it, move it about and play with it…

We in fact get taught so well in this approach to living that when it comes to the flip side, where this all arises from, the unfathomable, we attempt to use the same strategy…

“Just let me define it and I can get a grasp on it”, we say, “give me a picture so I can get a handle on it”, if I can name it, identify it, I can control it…

We can get caught up in this approach for some time, endlessly probably, until noticed!

Then it dawns, we realize, if the physical world is all about defining to control, identifying to know, then the reverse of that, in the spiritual or the unmanifest the opposite is true…

And in fact, in the end, when it comes to the unfathomable, the more you define it the less you can access it, and the less you define it the more it reveals itself to you naturally!

How we manage to miss this is a feat of immense proportions, but we do.

This reveals the essence of the wisdom of surrender; the only way to know, to sense, to reveal the truth to yourself is to agree to let it happen, agree to go fuzzy, undefined, unexplained, to relax into goo, into fluid, into waves, into ether, into transparency, and simply appreciate what is…

This is why no amount of grasping for power ever grants you true power, only agreeing to become as that power, by surrendering, actually puts you in the way of it from which many things, all things become possible, without exception, as that is where all things have come from so far, and is that likely to stop anytime soon?!

The amount of fuss and hooha we make around this is unreal, it is so easy a child can do it, the intellect is then an imbecile who doesn’t know it’s own foolishness, a total farce, possibly the most convincing liar ever concocted, spinning us into staring at grand facades that seem so “logically” sound and perfect, and yet have the substance or less of a cloud…

Ah well, there you go :)

Poof! And it’s gone…
