This is the miracle

This reality, the one we are experiencing right now:

before any thoughts about what it all means,
whether it’s good or bad for who we think we are,
or what we must do about it, how to fix it.

Nothing needs to be done about it.

We don't need to achieve, become, change, improve, manage, control, develop, uncover, deepen, cultivate, elevate, or get anywhere other than this, here, now.

We don’t need to do these things because we can’t make them happen.

Everything happens without us — from the tiniest cellular process, to the appearance of every single thought we ever have, to the birth and death of entire galaxies.

Our whole lives, wins and losses, fears and joys — all are the miracle of the moment, the only moment we get.

But we miss it completely when we make our illusory selves the center of life, and believe our thoughts about life.

We live in a fantasy of what should be (or should have been).

Nonduality is not about escaping experience.
It’s the radical opposite.

It’s falling into THIS so completely that we stop believing there’s a someone separate from it who needs to do something about it.

Then life moves through us freely, without any resistance.
Nothing blocks the natural flow of being anymore.
