A reflection on what follows the fundamental recognition of our true nature, and the ongoing process of alignment, integration, and deepening that continues in life.
A reflection on what follows the fundamental recognition of our true nature, and the ongoing process of alignment, integration, and deepening that continues in life.
When you discover truth, there is a certain kind of alignment that is needed. The recognition of what we are is like an opening where there is nothing written anymore. There is an openness to "now what?" Movement and decisions still come, but some processing is needed around bringing clarity into thought. Where are these energies and impulses coming from? Are they deep? Is there anything deeper?
Unfiltered seeing and residual habit
The recognition of what we are clarifies a great deal and makes the seeing very unfiltered. But even then, there could still be, for example, a learned habit that needs to be cleared.
When that recognition happens, the wanting to know what we are comes to an end. If we truly have that recognition, the wanting to know has no more reality. The question "What am I?" ends, in a way.
A different kind of desire
After that, there can still be an inquiry: now what in life? What is the movement? What to create? It is a different kind of desire. What we ultimately want is to know what we are, but that is just words, because we cannot truly know. We can, however, know what we are not, to a degree where the question ends.
Integration and deepening
Still, there will be life, and there will be a process of living and of deepening. This is described in different ways: as an integration, a clarification, or an embodiment. That process does not end, because life is constantly moving and changing. That is my experience.
