Sparks

Keep meeting the nothingness of the ego until it parts way into the Nothingness of God.

When freedom from egoic consciousness is what your life is devoted to....don't be surprised when it doesn't always feel like a romp in the park.

Don't raise your head as an egoic anything. Keep it bowed down, as close to the ground as possible. It will rise naturally when it has been emptied out of all fanciful imaginings of specialness.

Devote yourself to the Unknown. Give yourself into its custody, right there in your own heart and bear the ride.

It is in the fire of not being able to fix the personal self that the woundedness and repressed energies inherent in that woundedness can make themselves known. And little by little the cleansing happens and the heart is forced open to our own beautiful self.

The ego mind is reduced over and over and over again to nothing. Every place where it thinks it is a somebody or something, has something to offer, has a rosy enlightened future...each and every place whacked. This journey is the deepest humbling.

It is inconceivable to the mind that there could be love or security outside of what is familiar to it in external forms.

Stepping out of the "should, have to, need to" is a great act of kindness to yourself. It is an act of aliveness.

What is the resurrection of Christ, the resurrection of You, only thought not believed.
