Opening back to experience

⎯⎯◇⎯⎯

Consciousness,

it seems, is playing the game of forgetting itself—

disguising as thought,

believing its own story.

From early childhood

we are taught to name, compare, strive, separate.

The felt sense of being part of the whole

is rarely cultivated.

Waiting to be remembered through unlearning.

As Ramana Maharshi said,

many glimpse the Truth.

Few abide in it.

And as Adyashanti reminds us,

awakening is not the end—

but the beginning

of unwinding the false self

fully.

What matters is not never getting caught,

but becoming aware of being caught—

and using that moment

as the doorway back.

Insight can become a cage

if not held with love.

Even the thought “this is truth”

is still a view.

The Tao asks nothing of us but to see,

then let go.

Presence is but a breath away.

Thinking about it won’t get us there.

Release the thought.

Entering the body.

Being with what is.

If a question arises—

“Why is it so…?”

Notice who is asking.

Ah… that too is a thought.

Release it.

Return again.

There is no one place to reach.

No wisdom to grasp.

Only a gentle returning

to where we already are.

From here,

life moves with us.

And choices unfold

from the quiet root

of being.
