NO FORMULA

Our logical mind wants formulas for being
So that it can feel safe and secure.

Life presents us with mysteries, paradoxes and contradictions
that invite each of us
to go much deeper into experience than mere mind.

We are called to risk chaos
in order to discover the cosmic harmony of all Creation
and our part in it.

How will you get through the threat to the mind of dis-solution?

There is a leap to be made
With no way of imagining where you are going
And with no hope of ever scrambling back
To Mind.
This is so hard, because you have no recollection of a time without Mind.
Mind has easily fooled you that This is all that there is.

There is more, though.
You know it. You don't know how you know it,
Or what it is that you know.
You just --- know.......
Mind cannot recall it for you, because it was not there when you knew it before.
The "more" you long for
Is found in no-mind.

Evolution has always gone with the curious, the bold, the adventurous, the cheeky, the takers of risk....
Of course you are afraid.
That's why we were given the gift of Courage.
You do have to follow the urge,
Dare
Trust....
Not me, Not God,
But the river of life, and your self in the flow of it,
Without the reassurance of any prior proof
That there is an ocean.


Lifetime after lifetime
You have struggled to this point,
Only to lose your nerve --

Will it be this time?
If it isn't -- no problem;
You can go 'round again, and again, in a spiritual holding pattern.....
Until you're ready.
