Sinking into the ocean
We’re always up at the surface, among the waves. So much so, that it seems our life is at stake there.
But what if we were to let ourselves sink into the deep? What if we explored down deeper in the quiet, infinite ocean of our Being?
What we find down there is the peace of the true, enduring nature of life — its unmoving essence — even as our surface expression never stops moving.
Why not rest more down there, where nothing is at stake, and there’s freedom from the anxious identification as a tiny ripple?
When we resurface — which we will — the wave identity is not so deadly serious anymore. We’re still at full wave capacity, but it really is superficial now — only the very surface of our Being.
The more we know ourselves as the deep, the more that peaceful fullness is known in the waving.
For a wave, it’s of no use to know that it is ocean if it can’t BE that while waving. It has to be consciously known.
For it to be conscious knowing, the wave must risk undoing itself by sinking and dissolving into what it already is.
We are indeed the full freedom of unconditioned Being. But we do have to risk who we believe we are now to know that.
