Thisness

Around and around we go on the merry go round of thoughts, ideas and beliefs, yet never move from exactly where we have, are and always will be; right here, right now as unrestrained aliveness.

‘Behind it all’ is just bullshit really. There’s nothing behind the curtain. What you see is what you get.”

Barry Magid

Everything is just happening. Whatever this is, this experience of being is just happening. It can’t be stopped, controlled, contained, defined or understood. Call it what you will but that won’t change a thing. Try to change and that’s just more of the same, another wave of energy and shape of aliveness.

There are no layers to appearance, no depth. Everything is always right here, right on the surface – always perfectly apparent yet completely unfathomable.

You can see or not see. Know or not know – Clarity or delusion – Either way it doesn’t matter. Shifts in perspective and point of view occur all the time and are just the natural ebb and flow of mind as our aliveness effortlessly unfolds in whatever way it must.

There is no path, no yoga, no discipline that will lead you to truth. All that the mind can do is to know itself.

Krishnamurti

Language reveals itself but obscures truth.

There is nothing we do that isn’t exactly what we are. Every movement of body and mind is completely and totally us. Nothing left out, everything included.

There is something very reductive and life-denying about all pervasive positivism.
