Text of the page (random words):
the continuum is genuinely true we flounder in artificial and erroneous beliefs of needing to fix we try to enhance and eradicate this is not about convincing you there should not be desires and preferences that taking a stance or an action is unnecessary or futile nor that both ends should be equal in our perception of them natural balance simply highlights good and bad as not intrinsically within anything at all right and wrong are our ideas they trigger erroneous evaluations we give credence to phantoms as always don t believe any of this look for yourself an effective inquiry might be to look very carefully at objects events situations actions can any concrete quality or characteristic that contains goodness or badness be found in them other than in your thought of it can any be located that indicate intrinsic wrongness or rightness look at how opinion and thoughts about these can say yes or no to the questions then let those beliefs pass by what remains the thing as it is no imagined add ons moving further we can develop the habit of acceptance of life and its appearances as they are even the embracing of them why do this because it feels better than resistance of reality because it is more realistic what is present is present period fighting this fact is not only futile it s painful and dropping belief in inherent right and wrong within life s presentations assists with dissolving resistance accepting life as it is does not imply that we condone hurtful behaviors in others and ourselves or imagine that things that feel loving and joyful are to be dismissed it does not mean that we cannot move towards what appeals and avoid what does not it means seeing that nothing comes with built in qualities that have the power to attract or repel value and attraction or repulsion are human generated yes even spontaneous liking or disliking wanting and rejecting valuable and worthless responses are a result of human thinking and never originate in the thing around which we have the thoughts and feelings it can never be known how or why life shows up as it does we can only know that it simply does we have to work from that moment forward a seemingly discreet and particular something is present and right there in the noticing of it we can either attach our ideas about its value rightness and innate attributes or we can simply acknowledge that it is present as whatever it is so give it a go look ponder the world as it is awaits it is right wrong neutral and ready for you to like and dislike however you wish without embracing false thinking that says it is as you believe it to be it isn t what a blessing share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook email a link to a friend opens in new window email print

lisa kahale well the river of life is delivering me to so many diverse stops along the shore some of them simply would have been unendurable in the past and are now welcomed with gratitude what made the difference cannot point to any single thing but can say that the entire story of this universe is now one of open free acceptance remember hearing life is to be lived celebrated i just never got that as life felt like a lot of pain and bleakness with intermittent clearing of the clouds that helped with continuing forward now it s just bring it on it is all welcome and yes of course there will be more big things i now see that when they show up i ll be right there with them this is a natural evolution for me it s been three years since the awakening experience began and never was it imagined that this is what could come it s been a slow and gradual movement recently after a year of grief huge unhappiness and turmoil with the deaths of two beloved family members and the huge legal issues that followed that period ended abruptly eight months ago the light was suddenly seen again and just kept deepening this is beyond sweet peace is experienced pretty much continuously and when it is not it quickly returns it is a one eighty for the former lisa please know somehow that this is not exclusive to any particular human it is the baseline for all it s a natural progression that unfolds and is happening in ever increasing numbers not experiencing it now you can look deeply within your own interior and find what is present when all else comes and goes because everything does come and go except your own true nature there it is right there your heart of hearts the peace that prevails it is you as you are and never as you think you are take a look right there at the thoughts that seem to dictate how it is concerning everything but particularly about your own is ness the truth awaits only attention it is your own beyond sweet that awaits dive in share this share on x opens

nonduality spiritual autolysis spirituality suffering waking up zen bookmark the permalink everything from nothing no more fight club posted on december 20 2014 by lisa kahale awakening is a door it opens and we cross into a new way of being one that eventually becomes ordinary everyday experiencing i enjoy exploring these new ways of being an on going breaking of what is for me new ground far from the place i entered but somehow still exactly there all the time this never ceases to amaze the journey of no distance something that has remained a clear realization each moment during this exploration and so now seems quite familiar is the spontaneous seamless appearing of life moment to moment it first rolled open before me during the initial months of awakening always on going never done and continues to be seen using just a slight shift of attention memory does not enter into this i stop look and there it is again the constant fresh renewing of the universe as unbroken singularity springing up into manifestation it s all brand new as each instantly and constantly reappearing moment this is not a visual thing nor a connection of thought dots rather it is a an ever fresh view or knowing while there is no longer the huge impact there was once it continues to delight and gently nudge a feeling of security life has things well in hand the implications of this are significant because life is new in each split second what we consider to be cause and effect is an assumption based on the belief that time is unfolding that it somehow flows from earlier to now and then to later this assuming is so ingrained it is almost never seen or questioned yet time actually is not nor are space objects situations or events actual despite their sensed immediacy what is occurring is a built in perceptual mechanism of the body that allows for slices of time and discreet experiences of space objects and events to be uniquely perceived and this serves us well without it everything would merge together as a single lump the past future all space all objects and events would be continuously here as the present moment imagine a life of that and so it is that there is not a something before influencing or creating a something after nothing caused by anything previous no effects which then morph into new causes without time space and objects constantly morphing and flowing in a linear movement this simply cannot be with no causes to make things happen they simply happen spontaneously each moment and then the next or don t each new and complete whole and because there is no person here no separate self no me or you choosing and making decisions as what is labeled decision or choice is the same spontaneous emerging moment un caused there is also no need for angst or argument over so many things outcomes being right mistakes optimizing diminishing the future the past on and on it s a long list of course thoughts and feelings that are labeled concern over these can still show up if an action comes that seems to be triggered by something previous i see situation x i m concerned i do such and such all that need happen is to look closely nope that action was not triggered by the concern that came nor was the concern triggered by a situation that occurred the looking can reveal that there is not a this causing a that it only looks that way whatever shows up is ordinarily thought of as having happened in sequence one after the other due to our sense of time seemingly passing as in passing by and it is also thought that the earlier events caused the later ones which then caused ones even later than those in other words it s natural that we believe it is all causes and effects as it all seems to actually show up that way with ramifications then springing out in all directions as well but what we are really experiencing each moment is just that each moment brand new complete and whole nothing before that prompts anything after because there is no before and hence no after there is only right now sit with this a bit can you find anything other than this moment is there a past anywhere with causes a future with effects can any of these ever be found ponder how this lack of time and the resulting lack of cause and effect might create a new view perhaps a new acceptance of life if it genuinely were not possible for you to choose which way to go if each seeming choice each perceived cause were but life showing up fresh yet again with absolutely nothing being done by you or anyone else what would drop off your worry list what would you stop arguing with fighting against if it was deeply seen and known that all of life is always spontaneous and never emerging from human behaviors would ideas about behaviors change what if was clearly realized that outcomes do not come from you or anyone else that only ideas and thoughts about i created this you created that and causes bring effects are what say this is true might significant amounts of angst dissolve drop away what i am pointing to is that stressing and fretting about what we see as our decisions and choices is not inherent arguing with what life brings is like shaking your fist at the weather pointless indeed these are all add ons and life can and will function very nicely without them the reality is this life itself takes care of everything down to the most minute of details and up to the largest of imaginables as it always has it does this by showing up that s it life shows up worry argument stress none of them required for life to flow and unfold exactly as it is meant to be and we experience as we do believing whatever is believed feeling that time is actual or believing that causes create effects is not bad or wrong just untrue except in thoughts and it can be hugely unproductive to pretend that you don t believe those thoughts if you do to be in denial of your own perceptions and experience this is why it is important to not take my word or anyone s in these matters this is an experience it yourself kind of thing so look to your own inner knowing remember that you are your own best guide to the interior territory and that it can be explored with ease and in depth remind yourself that direct non intellectualized experiencings of truth can emerge look openly and honestly without attention given to thoughts the entire universe happens in a manner totally different from how we d ever thought it did and we can know this all is appearing as it will right on schedule without a single thing being decided or chosen by a single human anywhere it can become apparent that it just looks as if we are doing it even though we aren t it can be recognized that this includes all things the disruptive the mean spirited the kind the loving they come not as choice not even the good ones but simply and spontaneously as whatever they are things happening all of it just life as it is the opportunity to see and understand ourselves and our world in this completely new light is available to all and once seen there is often the emergence of deep satisfying acceptance of however the as it is shows up no more resistance no more arguing with life it is the putting down of our oh so battered fight gloves and walking out of the ring into a new livingness share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens

problematical one person believes something utterly and the next says it is ridiculous belief is not a worthy confirmation nor a steady standard of authenticity let s look instead at how life is actually showing up in the moment right here right now are you innocent or guilty are you worthy valuable or probably because of believing there it is again in the badness wrongness of some of your previous behaviors are you less than perhaps even bad and not at all good my experience is that many feel that way about themselves and i too struggled mightily with these very questions all my life truly believed smile that lisa was not good and never could be then awakening and still the questions went on which was a surprise as my belief another smile was that i would instantly be absolved instantly become pure that doesn t happen when we wake up more on that in another post for me the ticket was to genuinely realize that behavior is never caused by anything such as heredity previous behaviors thought emotion sensation and it is never an effect of my rightness or wrongness or even choice volition or control but that it can seem to be behavior is always a spontaneous showing up zero cause once that was gut clear the rest came into focus what does this mean how does it work that behavior is not caused by me that somehow i am not actually doing it and thusly innocent it happens because life is spontaneous appearing fresh and new in each nano moment and then again over and over no past no future just that tiny poin...
