A Barren Land A Fruitful Life

" Why is it we have the ocean, the actual ocean? Why is it we have cliff edges? Why do we have mountains? Why do we have peaks? Why do we have lows , why do we have highs? Why do we have sharp edges and soft greenery? Why do we have all these things , this contrast on this planet?

Because it is the way of this planet to expose Reality.

The soft plantation for instance , the soft greenery , the butterflies , the jagged edges on a cliff as opposed to a soft rolling hill... All these sharp edges that you see in nature are the sharp edges you come up against in your self. They are there for the purpose of knowing oneself, transforming oneself through transcending oneself. The sharp edge IS the edge that you have to meet in self .The sharp edge IS the edge which pierces you into a higher reality.

The higher realities have no edges, have no peaks, have nothing that is sharp or jagged. There is nothing there to meet. It is all flow. It is constant flow. It is Unity.

That's why you long for that so much. You long for that flow of beauty and simplicity that does not end . But you couldn't know that flow until you came into a place that seemed to dam the flow..In fact it invites you to be the ocean which the flow spills from while seemingly being dammed or limited, in a seemingly limited body.

What that brings out in your consciousness is flavours of those higher essences, flavours of that divine essence that is your Real Self.

For instance, gentleness cannot be known there because there is no need for gentleness. Gentleness is needed here where there is such a thing as roughness, such a thing as sharpness, such a thing as beginnings and ends.

I used the word forbearance earlier in the retreat . Forbearance you won't find there .. there is nothing to forebear in those higher pure realms ..that flow out of self ..it doesn't even know what Love is for it IS that . It can't know it .

The qualities of 'that place that can't know it is that place' are known here.

What seems to be limitation is perfection; uniqueness knowing itself though what appears to be the drama of life, appears to be the chaos of life, but really is the divine place of making one know oneself utterly as Love and Truth itself .

So there are no boundaries in those higher, deeper places. There are no beginnings and ends.

HERE it is necessary to reach a beginning and end to expose the place of no beginning and no end ..so that Love and Truth can be know actual, direct, formed in this Here and Now moment.

I had written down here: 'commitment' and 'forgiveness' ...

There is no such thing as commitment and forgiveness in the deep. It has no need of it . There is nothing to commit to and nothing to forgive. It is pure. HERE it needs commitment to be pure and realise you are the 'prior to' purity of all life that's moving jaggedly.

The very landscape is a demonstration of the self that is needed for all human beings to realise themselves..from softness to hardness, from sharpness to bluntness, to thick to thin, to heavy and solid to fine like the air .

The are all demonstrations of higher powers that move and become solid so that the Higher Power can know itself. All this seeming restriction is unique possibility.

See any moment as restrictive and you are of the self, the actual thing of the self , the actual jagged-ness of self. Commune , communicate and MEET that jaggedness and the qualities of the higher levels begin to be known as your Real Self. You transcend with no need to transcend.

There is no need to get away from this place . None whatsoever ..nonetheless there is Transcendence ..as you begin to be able to move in your original flow.

Until your original flow with all the touches of something much finer begins to be known in you.

You begin to know and be enabled to move as That among the jagged-ness, the roughness, the heavy-ness, the solidity, the restrictions, the boundaries.

You begin to make this place as That place and in that process you remember who I AM. That is the work that is taking place. It gives you entrance into your original authentic flow.

If you find it at all here it is through not escaping here and bringing about those qualities.

Through communing, meeting as Awareness knowing and seeing ..all this is revealed .

If you struggle with it and fight it, you create self to guard yourself against this immensity of possibility.

When you have met enough edges and you have met enough jagged points and you are no longer deterred by those jagged points to be 'ALL that you are' then that cliff edge is of no use anymore

It falls back into the ocean of Awareness.

I do believe that there will be an utter planetary shift. I have no idea how it will happen - but the landscape will change to bring about a new possibility.Shapes, forms , everything ..Different kinds of softness, different kinds of hardness, different kinds of pointed-ness and sharpness will all move humanity into a new possibility.

That is why your life changes shape. You can change it as your self trying to make things better, or you can change it through meeting everything as Awareness and grow and expand your Consciousness, your Awareness, your Knowing-ness, your True Belonging.

That is the meaning of all life and in this you enter the Unseen that has no need to escape this realm. It is natural simple transcendence and inclusion."
