A reminder that everything you experience — resistance, discomfort, confusion — is already held within a freedom you never lost.
What this is about is just what's happening,
and it's everything.
It's the most radical including, embracing everything:
resistance,
struggle, friction,
discomfort,
thoughts,
pains.
Already included
And it's not something we do. We don't learn how to include,
how to embrace.
Right now, we can recognize everything is already embraced,
already included.
Even if there is confusion,
illusion,
we already are what we are.
Freedom.
Source.
So it doesn't really matter.
Two kinds of play
There are just two kinds of plays, games:
to pretend we don't know,
or to realize,
to recognize.
A bird flying the open sky
and believed to be in a cage,
and that's just one way to fly freely.
Believing to be in a cage,
one flavor,
one style, one preference.
Or it can be recognized right now.
There is freedom, no bondage.
There is only the belief to be so,
the preference.
At rest
Exactly as it is.
It is always exactly as it is.
Now it is at rest. It is source. It is peace.
It includes the sense of lack,
includes the resistance,
discomfort.
We focus on the resistance,
the sense of lack.
We just ignore the underlying freedom,
a peace that is everything.
What we knew as children
That warm,
loving
openness,
which we know well as children,
which we forget is here now.
It's in the sights,
in the sense of touch,
the imagination,
thoughts,
colors,
sight,
the heart.
