The end of war always lies in finding our common ground ㅡ the ground of awareness.

The beginning of great freedom is to realize that nothing is ever missing from present experience. There is only ever the story that something is missing, the feeling that something is mising. And all stories and their associated feelings appear in the wide-open space that you are, which is always complete in itself.

Dying on the cross, Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." In other words, "Forgive my enemiesㅡthet don't see. They are ignorant of wholeness. They are ignoring who they really are. They don't see the ocean in the waves. They have identified themselves as separate people. And so they are innocently playing out their seeking. They think that killing me will bring them wholeness, and it won't. For they are already whole, but do not realize that. Killing me a thousand times won't bring them what they really long for. Because what they really long for is who I really amㅡwho they really are. I am what they are. Maybe one day they will see."

Who would you rather beㅡJesus, who knejw who he really was and recognized deep acceptance in his own experience, or his torturers, ignorant of their their true nature, totally identified as false images, and deeply at war with themselves? Who would you rather be, the perpetrator or victim? And who is the real victimㅡthe one who hurts others because of deeply unaccepted pain or the one who experiences pain but knows who he really is within that experience? Who is truly hurt here?

What do you think you need to be complete? What do you fear losing? What, if you lost it, would make you incomplete?

The freedom does not drpend on any external source. True freedom is the freedom from dependency on outside sources to complete you. The cigarette, thr sexual encounters, the loving gaze of a guru cannot free you permanently. Only when your attention turns 180 degrees to look at the not-okay waves that you are running away from is there the possibility of discovering total freedom and peace within your own experience.

The story of my life will never be complete, which is to say, I will never complete myself in time.

Being present has nothing to do with time

Here, in deep acceptance, we don't have to try to connect via the story of our relationship, for we are already connected, beyond that story.

My enemy wakes me up from my dream of image identification.

What I am is the calm at the center of the storm. I am not at war with the storm. I am the open space in which the storm is allowed to come and go. I do not fear the storm, not because I am strong and brave, but because I see the storm as myself. On the deepest level, it cannot threaten me. So let it come, if it comes.

Bow to confusion!
It is the fertile ground
from which great clarity blossom
in its own sweet time.

It is not confusing, when you bow.

Bow to anger! It contains the power
of life itself. It roars universe into form.
It rises suddenly to protet the organism.
It values your unique voice.
It gives you courage to speak up.

There is no violence, when you bow,
Bow to sorrow. It keeps the heart soft.
It grounds you in a awareness of impermanence and change and loss.
It brings compassion for all beings who weep and seek a new home.

It is not depressing, when you bow.

Bow to fear.
She is only trying to protect you
from what you are not yet ready or willing to face.
She guides you gently into the Unknown.

You are not afraid.
when you bow.
