    Surrendering into Freedom

    Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 10:10 PM [General]

    "It is important
    to start with practices
    and teachings.

    You follow a path,
    you follow Advaita
    Zen, Bhakti Yoga, Shakti
    or any other valid
    path to enlightenment.

    And you do take on
    certain beliefs
    knowingly or unknowingly
    and by being true
    to those beliefs and practices,
    there is a deepening, even realizations.

    This process usually has to happen.

    But if you are blessed,
    at some point or better
    at many many points,
    something will happen
    that will knock you off your feet.

    You are going along in
    a blissful state,
    all the beliefs and practices
    are in place to support that
    and then something happens
    in your life that pulls the
    rug out from underneath you.

    And suddenly all of those
    beliefs and understandings
    about yourself and about spirituality
    that have been held perfectly in place
    have all tumbled down.

    And in that
    there are no more beliefs to hold on to;
    all understandings have been nullified.

    And if you are able to surrender in this,
    then it is here that your heart
    breaks open to silence;

    like a crab that has outgrown its shell.

    You become vulnerable to silence,
    to the absence of understanding,
    to the absence of security,
    to the absence of knowing who you are.

    And in this there is freedom.

    What good is it to realize the Self
    and then be bound by the idea of the Self?

    What good is it to be dependent
    on having a certain experience,
    attainment or understanding?

    When it all crumbles
    then all that is left
    is pure open vulnerability.

    It is not that you feel this
    and then you move on,
    but rather you learn to remain as this
    even while continuing your practices.

    Then you live in love;
    that love that resides in surrender.

    And your life is lead by grace.

    Not an idea of grace.
    But that which cannot be known
    is
    and that is that.


    Much love,


    Kip"
