Austerity of phenomena gets one no closer to the intimacy of this moment. A pneumatic drill or a kick in the teeth will do that equally well.
A ‘Yes’ to life includes ALL of it. There is no partial aliveness, no edited highlights, no that but not this. We’re either all in or all out.

Rather than getting tied up in knots trying to figure out how the whole universe works, or trying to nail down the right metaphysical formulation or the best philosophy, or trying to figure out once and for all what happens after death, I find it much more helpful to drop all our ideas, concepts and beliefs and return again and again to the openness of not knowing and the immediacy and simplicity of this moment, this living presence Here-Now.

To pay special devotional attention to, say, silence and stillness over and above the rest of the vast variation of phenomenal experience is to edit the totality of being, to mediate unnecessarily the rich and diverse aliveness that we are.

You don’t need to worry about what will or won’t happen or what you will or won’t do, as none of that is determined in conscious awareness.

Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.

I am already fully complete, whole and perfectly imperfect. My true being is not dependent on any particular job or type of work. That delusion is now fully seen through.
My being will abide fully and inevitably wherever it finds itself and is not conditional on any particulars of this or that.
There is no separation in all aspects of being. Life is indivisible whatever it’s variation.
There is true liberation of mind in this realisation and an unshakable trust in unknowing.
I let go and fall, untethered, into the unknown. Weightless, free, peaceful and fully in love with everything.

Sitting in silent stillness… Consider for a moment what on earth does that do or give you that sitting in a traffic jam in the middle of noisy roadworks on a hot day does not?
If you actually attend to the actuality of the present moment, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, there is essentially no difference – just a variation in phenomenal experience.
